STEADILY the exports of grain coutin-
lie, says the Pittsburg Times, to move
toward the old world. Along with the
enormous exports of manufactured pro-
ducts are making material increase. At
the same time silver keeps going out in
large sums. But in payment for the ex-
ports sent from American shores gold
has not yet commenced to flow thi wav.
Something must come. Imports are far
from sufficient to pay for the exports,
and to make up the deficit American
stocks and bonds are coming back across
the water.
1t Is another movement in old iourn-
ey. Once the financial center of the
world was with the ancient Phoenicians,
1t moved westward. Greece, Rome,
Spain, Holland, and finally London
dominated the finances of the world
But slowly the United States is rising tc
high place, and threatening to take
the leading rank. The first indication
of tho new conditions came when the
New York markets refused to follow the
British lamentations and made prices
for this country regardless of what was
quoted abroad. Another step is taken
when Great Britain sends American Sc,
curities home in payment for the sup,
plies of food and other products that
she must have. The country that holds
the securities of the world claims tribute
of the world. But when those securi.
ties mustibe released the tribute stops,
Money has become so plentiful in the
| United States that American capital can
take up American securities. Should
American exports continue for any
leught of time in this manner American
securities abroad will be cleaned up, and
then foreign securities must follow this
way, or foreign gold. 1t is all the same.
few years of plenty and the United
States will hold the treasure of the mi.
verse. and New York, not London, will
be the clearing house of nations 1t is
only matter of little more time.

Washington. Dec. 3i.-The secretary
Of the treasury. with the approval Of
the president. has issued regulations
under the act OF congress signed
Wednesday prohibiting the taking Of
sealskins by American citizens except
on the Pribylof Islands. and inhibitine
the importation into this country Of
pelagic sealskins. The regulations pro-
vide that no sealskinS raw, dressed.
dyed or otherwise manufactured, shall
he admitted to entry in the United
States except there be attached to the
invoice acertificate signed by the United
States consul at the place Of exporta-
ton that said skins were not taken
from seals killed within the waters
mentioned in said act. specifying in de-
tail the locality Of such taking, whether
on land or at sea. and also the person
from whom said skins were purchased
In their raw and dressed state, the
date OF such purchase and the lot num-
Der. CoIsuls shall require satisfactory
evidence OF the truth Of such facts by
oath or otherwise.
Regulations Are Iron Bound.
The regulations then provide that ev-
cry article manufactured In whole or In
part from fur sealskins to be imported
Into the United States Is required TO
have legibly stamped thereon the name
OF the manufacturer and the place of
manufacture. and shall be accom-
panied by a statement in writing under
the oath Of the manufacturer that the
skins used In said article were taken
from seals not killed at sea within the
prescribed waters mentioned, specify
Ing the locality in detail, and also the
person from whom said si:ins were pur-
chased in their raw and dressed state,
the date OF said purchase and the lot
number. This rule would take from q
mans hands the sealskin gloves he
wore on arrival at New York II he could
het ItoNN VI shAu vi
the Pribyiof Islands. All sealskins or
manufactures thereof not coming inside
the regulations are seized and &C.
ctroycd.
Another Troublesome Rule.
OF course sealskin articles which are
taken out OF this country and brought
back are spared, but another rule
makes them liable, no matter how little
sealskin there Is in them. to be ripped
TO pieces In order 20 find out whether
properly stamped on the inner surface,
and besides must he accompanied with
a consular certificate. A sealskin purse
or reticule may be carried out OF this
country by q lady making a foreign
tour, but when 1t comes back again
II Is liable TO confiscation unless 1.-THE
lining thereof Is SO arranged that the
pelt OF the skin underneath shall be
exposed for examination" unless the
owner shall have taken the precaution
before starting on her voyage to obtain
"a certificate Of ownership from the
collector Of customs Of the port Of de-
parture."

Challenges Fits and Says the Latter Ad.
nR : mitted . Licking At Carson.
Cincinnati, Dec 3l.-James ]. Cor
bett yesterday gave out for publica-
ton his challenge to fight Robert Fftz-
simmons. The document is ironical to
the point Of insulting. Jim chooses, he
says. to assume that Bob's alleged in
sistence on Jim proving himself in
Bobs class. il a mistake Of the press,
and to show that 1t must be SO, says:
You cannot so soon have forgotten
your remark to me at Carson. Just after
the battle. 'Jim.' you said, in your
simple. earnest way. I'll never fight
again. You've given me q bloody good
licking You, the winner, uttered these
words, with face and body 30 battered
as to leave no doubt Of your sincerity,
while I. the loser, listened with never
q bruise or scratch from head to foot
which could contradict you"
After some remarks about what the
public expects him to do, Corbett pro-
ceeds "a follows: THE day We sign
articles 1 will give you $1,000 In recog-
milton OF your courtesy. The moment
you. enter the ring. ready to offer me
battle. will give you a second $1,000
In token Of my pleasure. Upon the
completion Of the tenth round, II you
are still undefeated. will give you q
third $1,000 as souvenir Of my sur
prise. Upon defeating you, no matter
in what round. will give you 5000
more as q reminder that / am not an
ungenerous foe.
''On the other hand, should you again
defeat me, I promise if still able to
move TO place my hat upon my head,
and then removing 1t in your honor to
proclaim you in frank and unmistakable
terms to be my superior and state that
then and there quit forever all possi-
BILE claim to the championship the
world" Corbett signs himself cham
pion OF America" ma rs
Chicago. Dec, 3l.-"We will pay no
attention to IT," said Martin Julian
when asked what he ard Fitzsimmons
would do In regard to Cerbett's formal
challenge. I'VE told Corbett what he
can do" continued Julian. Bob did
not want to re-enter the ring at all,
but at last persuaded him to promise
to fight again on certain conditions.
These were, as I explicitly stated, that
he would consider fighting two men
Corbett and McCoy-and that he should
fight them only after Corbett has de.
feated Maher and after Mccoy had
defeated the man named by me. I have
named Choyrski."

CLOSE OF THE BIG WHEAT DEAL
Win Re Wound Up Without the Sensatis
That Has Been Predicted.

VIII BE wound Up Without the Sensation
Tint Has Been Predicted.
Chicago, Dec. 3l.-The closing scenes
in the Letter deal in December wheat
will have been enacted by o'clock
this afternoon and the curtain rung
down on everything Of a speculative
nature pertaining to the affair. BY
that time. too, there will probably have
been delivered about 5000, 900 bushels
OF wheat.
Yesterdays action Of the market and
the purchases of December by Letter
brokers seem proof that there is no
December shortage now outstanding.
1t is generally expected that the great
deal will be wound up without the SEN
sation that was looked for.

PENSION ATTORNEY OUT OF DATE.
He Will Have No Dusiness II Commission

er Evans Hos HIS Way.
Washington. Dec. 3l.-Commissioner
Of Pensions Evans has been giving some
attention TO proposition whereby the
services OF pension attorneys engaged
In the prosecution Of claims before the
Office may be dispensed with and their
work done by officials under govern
ment supervision. Informally he has
been discussing the matter with menu
bers OF the house committee on invalid
pensions. but Is not yet prepared to
outline the details OF his plan. The
present system. he says, is wrong and
should have been done away with long
ago. Disseminating the services Of the
attorneys would result in a great saw
Ing TO both pensioners and the govern
ment. and liability to frauds in issuing
pensions would be reduced to a mini
mum. Under government supervision
the pension bureau would have direct
control Of the persons appointed to look
after the cases. whose business 1t would
he to see that all honest claims were
promptly and intelligently presented.
The commissioner notes the fact that
3l3. SOC. 900 has been paid out during the
past thirteen years to pension attor-
neys by applicants for the prosecution
of their claims.
Talking about pensions the postof'ice
department has ruled that an ex.Cuion
soldier drawing a pension under the
dependent pension law may be rein
stated in q position he formerly occu-
pied in the service. The case arose
In connection with the application Of a
veteran employed in the Philadelphia
postoffice. IN order to obtain q pension
under the dependent act a claimant
must swear that ne Is without means
Of support and lie unable to do manual
labor.
