and Feaihers.

Holgate, Ohio, Nov 11.-Word reached
this city this evening from Oakwood,
Ohio, hamlet fifteen miles south of
here, of an outrage perpetrated last
night by white caps upon two girls,
Edith and May Roberts, aged 10 and Il
years. Ten days ago the young ladies
received a white cap notice warning
them to leave the town and county, but
they paid no attention to il.
Last evening they retired early Dur
ing the night band of eight or ten
men entered their rooms and dragged
them in their night robes to the road,
where they were terribly whipped by u
cat-of-nine-tails. After beating the two
girls the white caps gave them a coat
of tar and feathers and took them back
to the house where they were found
unconscious this morning.
May, the younger of the two girls, is
in a critical condition.
A card containing ten names was
found tackled to the front door, but none
of the names are known about the
place.
Blood hounds were placed upon the
trail of the white caps, but owing TO
heavy rains and the tramping Of hun
dreds of people about the scene, the
animals were unable to follow the scent.
No other clue can be found

PINGREE HEARD FROM.

New York, Nov. 11.-Governor Hazen
5. Pingree, of Michigan, delivered an
address tonight before the Nineteenth
Century Club, at Sherry's. His subject
was "The Results of Ten Years of
Municipal Progress"
Herbert Welsh, of Philadelphia, had
also been invited to talk on a similar
subject. He spoke of reform in his ma
tive city and the abuses of ring rule
there. Governor Pingree said in part:
business men are to blame for mis-
government OF cities. They expect men
they look down upon to furnish good gov
ernment and to protect their lives and
property, without doing anything to-
ward it themselves. They grumble at
the results of caucuses which they do
not attend, and they complain of the mis-
management of those whom they take
not part i'll selecting"

BEING EXTERMlNATED
SEAL CATCH FOR PAST YEAR FELL OFF
ABOUT A HALF.
Some Statistics Which Have Been Presented
to the Bering Sea Con-
ference.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 11.-Today's
Bering Sea conference began at IL
O'Clock with a full representation of the
British, Canadian and American off,
cials. For the first time the statistics
.of the catch of seals for the present year
was available. These were complied by
the American officials, and brought out
prominently two features winch were
regarded us most important III support
ing the American contention, namely
that the catch had fallen off about one
half during the present season. showing
.conclusively, i'll the opinion of the Amer
lean experts, that the seal herd was be-
ing rapidly wiped out; and second. that
the catch of seals from the American
islands in Bering Sea was about II to
las between the Canadian sealerS under
the British flag, and American sealers.
The same proportion was SHOWN to eX-
ist throughout the waters of the North
Pacific.
The falling off of about one-half in
the total catch both in the Berng Sea
and the North Pacific is said to he sig
nificant in view of the circumstances.
The present season is a better one, the
experts say, for the taking of seals
than last season. The same regulations
apply this season as last under these
circumstance. 1t is said that the cOnclu-
ion to be drawn from this years figures
is that the seal herd has been greatly
reduced by indiseriminate slaughter at
the alarming rate of about one-half in
the last yetar.
At tOday's conference the report of
Prof. Lucas upon the habits of the seal
was read as were also the reports of
Messrs. Jordan, Thompson and McCoun.
The reports of Profs. Jordan and
Thompson had not been exchanged
heretofore. The papers led to consdera-
bic discussion which was, genrally
speaking. of an amlcable character, al
though some marked differences of opin-
ion were expressed.
TO SETTLE DISPUTES.
Washington, d. c., Nov. 11.-Secreta-
ry Sherman and Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
the Premier of Canada, this afternoon
began the first of a formal series of
conferences for the purpose of bringing
about an agreement by which as many
as possible Of the questions now caus-
ing friction between the United States
and Canada may be amicably adjusted
by treaty or otherwise. These confer
ences will be independent of the Bering
Sea fisheries conference, which was the
immediate occasion for the Canadian
Premier's present visit to Washington.
Among the causes of friction between
the two countries is the question of the
rights of citizens of either to pursue
business callings in the territory of the
other, and the tariff question.

TILE LESSON OBVIOUS.

| Professor Charles J. Bullock, instruc-
tor in economies in Cornell University,
contributes to the New York Times n
most instructive and interesting article,
which the Times adopts editorially.
| touching our foreign commerce for the
twelve months ending June 80, 1897. Pro-
fessor Bullocks figures are taken from
the preliminary reports OF the govern
ment on our foreign trade, and make
II evident that during the period named
our commerce underwent the most re-
markable development It ever expert
enccd during a similar period.
A glance at the total exports and i'm
ports shows. says Professor Bullock,
that our foreign trade for 1897 amount
ed to $1.S16. 1850 9JG. figure that has
never been equalled, except in 1892, when
a total Of Sl,S516so.6iO was reached.
while for the ten years prior to 1891 the
entire foreign commerce Of the country
averaged only Sl.6Ol 10000 annually.
When. adds the writer, it is remembered
that prices for the last year have re-
NAMED at a level far below those for
the earlier years Of the decade the sig
niicance Of the returns for 1897 can be
better appreciated.
The most interesting feature Of the
exhibit for the twelve months ending
June 30, 1851, is the unparalleled increase
Of exports. and Professor Bullock pre-
scrts the figures 10 show that this in
crease was due largely to the extension
Of the foreign market for our manufac-
tured goods. He also shows that, COM
narrative prices considered. 1897 really
exceeded 1892 as foreign commerce
year. and may be fairly REGARDED as
making the best showing in the history
of the country. In 1892 exports of agri-
cultural produce amounted to 99,32S 2j2,
or 1859 per cent of the total exporta-
tons; while exports of manufactured
per cent. of the entire export trade. In
1897. on the other hand. agricultural ex
ports were valued at $685. S7S,990, or 66.27
per cent. Of the total; while manufac-
lures were represented by $276, S51S6l, or
1918 per cent. of the whole volume of
exports.
The exports Of agricultural products
depend, in the nature of things, largely
upon the crop conditions abroad. The
exports Of manufactured articles, how
ever. are largely regulated by tariff
legislation at home that will prevent
discrimination abroad against our manu-
facturers. The lesson from Professor
Bunock's article is obvious, and his
vindication of Democratic tariff policy
clear. We anticipate that it will be
said that in 1892, when, under the Nc
Kinley tariff the exports of agricutu-
raj products were 50 large, the farmer
got higher prices for the fruits of his
labor than he got during the twelve
months ending June 80, 1897. But it
should not be forgotten that in 1892 the
farmer paid high tribute to the Ameri-
can manufacturers for nearly every
manufactured article he used, whereas,
when the Wilson tariff was in force, he
bought manufactured articles, as rule,
cheaper than ever before.
