In report to the State Department,
Mr.. Joseph Rawicz, consul at Warsaw,
reports that while American manufac-
lures are sold in large quantities
throughout Russia, in general they are
both discredited and handicapped iu
Russia and the introduction of new
goods made extremely difficult for two
reasons:
First-European manuiacturers-Ge
mans, especially-fill the Russian mar
kets with inferior goods, stamped.
trade-marked, &c., as american, 4"
which, being accepted by the unsus-
peeting Russians az genuine American
products, discredit our manufactures ia
such an extent that nothing short OF
active and persistent personal effort can
push new articles into general use.
Second-The second reason which
operates against the introduction oil
American manufactures is tho long
credits given by tho British, French,
German and other manufacturers
credits based upon the reports of theii
agents, who traverse the Empire ant
know exactly how far credits can bt
safely given.
This seems decidedly rough. Tt
have the markets fatty closed to Ameri
can manufactures would be bal
enough, but to have the latter barrel
and discredited by such scurvy trick
is double outrage.
Consul Rawicz further reports that
movement to better the condition i
about being put into operation by th
Exporters' Association OF America
headquarters in New York. This organi
alton is about to establish 10 this cit,
Warsaw a sample rom for the exhi
bition OF American manufactures
together with an agency for their in
PRODUCTION into and sale Throughout
Russia. This movement, he thinks, i
calculated to be of great benefit to th
Russian impor ters and consumers, a
well as to tho American manufacturers

Gage in iucreasns the horded debt.
Tho mouibers OF the commission were
united iu support Of the gold standard,
but soma OF them believs that tho re.

GOVERNOR BRADLEY TO RESIGN
Hut He II stiIr IN the Eight for Unitsd
States Senator,

States Senator.
Frankfort. KY, March 22.-Governor
Bradley told two friends in his Office
the other day that no matter what was
the result of the present senatorial
fight he would resign the office of gov
ernor immediAely after the expiration
OF the present extra session. He de-
clines to discuss the matter with a re-
porter. but told another friend the
same thing in his office yesterday after
noon. That such Is his intention has
been known for several weeks, but
that he did not want to authorize the
statement as yet is emphasized by his
evident annoyance that what he con-
fided to friends has become public.
However, the few politicians who have
heard the story say that the COVER
nor's intention having become public
now may result In making more prob
able his election over Hunter tomorrow
or Wednesday. They argue that the
chief reason why some gold Demo-
Gratis refuse to go into a coalition to
elect Bradley is that 1t would fence the
gubernatorial election this fall, which
they have their own reasons for not
wanting done.
Prominent politicians from all over
the state are arriving here to take part
In the fight for and against Hunter,
the nominee, and Bradley, who refuses
to be deposed by even the influence of
the national administration.

Otis VIII Not Succeed Doe,

Washington, March 22-Colonel Har-
rison Gray Otis, of California, will not
be assistant secretary of war This
conclusion was reached after CONVEX
sation in the cabinet room between
the president, Secretary of War Alger
and Colonel Otis. Had Colonel Otis
been a resident Of any state that Is
not represented in President McKin-
ley's cabinet he would probably have
been appointed to succeed Joseph B.
Doe, the present assistant secretary of
war, whose resignation has already
been accepted. Colonel Otis and the
president served together in the TWEEN
ty-third Ohio regiment in the civil
war, and In later years became fast
friends.

A Wonderful Memory,

Hortensius, the great Roman lawyer and
orator, had memory of extraordinary
scope and tenacity. After composing q
speech or Grafton he could repeat it word
for word exactly as he had prepared it. On
one occasion he went to an auction, where
the business was carried on during an en-
tire day, and at evening, for wager he
wrote down list of the articles that had
been sold and the prices, together with the
names of the purchasers, in the order in
which the purchases had been made.
