DISCUSSING McCORD's CASE.
Took All the Time and Warmers
Nomination Not Reached.

The Senate failed to reach the Warner
nomination IN executive session yes,er-
day The entire session. lasting four
hours. was consumed in the consideration
of the nomination of NcCord for governor
of Arizona. The confirmation of McCord
WAS finally prevented by the lack OF a
quorum.
The contest was over McCords record
as developed by the investigation of the
committee territories. and was made
principally by Senators Berry, Bate ana
Teller while Messrs. Davis. Carter. Spoon-
err and Kyle took the lead In Mr.. McCor,'s
behalf. Senator Garter being especially ac-
tive, Senator Berry was upon the OPP
posing side.
The DEBATE was Of generally uniutera-t-
Ing character. dealing with the details Of
the charges against MCCord, which cover
practically the pass twenty years. The OPP
position to confirmation was based on the
plea that man against whom there were
many charges should not he elevated
To so h!sn office until hc was absolutely
cleared of the charges. Ii was aSsel;cd
that the committee had refused ID make
an investigation of some Of the charges.
and that the McCord family had made an
immense fortune out OF land legislation I'm
his congressional district in Wisconsin, for
which he was responsible.
1t was declared. on behalf OF the COM
mttee. that its investigation had been
thorough, and il was held tina: II Should
be sufficient to relieve Mr.. McCori of the
aspersions upon his character Senator
Spooner devoted himself TO ;he charges
in connection with the Wisconsin lands
known as the OmahI Indian lands. lie
said IL was true that McC1rd's brother
had been prosecuted for his connection
with supposed frauds. Senator Spooner
had been the attorney for the brother in
this case, and he said he could bear tcsti-
mcny tc the fact that while the suit last

PENSION EXAMINING BOARDS.
Comnfssfoner Evans Holds That They
Should BE Non-Partfsan.

A letter has been received at the cIviI
service commission inquiring whether the
non-partisan rule in regard to the appoint
ment of members of the pension examining
boards, not included in the civil service
would be observed by the present commits
sioners. Under the last administration any
board the members of which received in
dividuai annual salaries of more than $500
was put under the civil service The COM
missioner of pensions has the appointment
of the three members of the other boards
Commissioner Black first appointed nom
partisan boards, and the system has been
continued since.
Pension Commissioner Evans said to a
Star reporter today in regard 10 the mat
ter:
Il shall certainly observe the rule for
politics should not enter into such a mat
ter. AT tire same time. i have told sena-
tors and representatives who have asked
my intentions that l would, IL possible
have an old Union soldier a member of the
board, an old practitioner and bright young
physician of any politics. IL did not matter
of what party. An old soldier can sympa-
thiZe with comrade applying for a pen
sion, the old practitioner adds weight, and
the young one makes excellent secre-
tary. The young man, nine cases out of
ten, will take more trouble and go into
more details than will an older one
Il have established the rule of having a
report sent in to the department within
seven days after the examination has been
made. l know of a case where a special
examination had been made, when the re-
port was not received at the department
for two years The man examined might
have had all kinds of things happen to him
in that time"

UNPRECEDENTEDLY LARGE.
The Balance of Trade I'm Favor of
This Country Lust Yenr.

A statement of the exports and imports
of the United States prepared by the bureau
of statistics makes the remarkable show
ing that l ever before in the history of the
country have the exports of merchandise
which includes practically all exports ex-
cept gold and silver. reached so high a
figure as during the fiscal year ended June
80, 1897, nor has the excess Of exports over
imports ever been SO large. The only time
these figures were approached was in 1872.
when the United States was making heavy
shipments of grain to feed Europe suffer
ing from q series of deficient harvests
The statement for 1897, with comparisons,
is follows:
Exports of domestic merchandise. sl.0s2.-
S9s.sso; increase over 1896 about slI0,ooo,-
Total exports OF domestic and foreign
merchandise, S1,051 9S7,0 as compared
with sSS2 GO6.93s for 1876. The total i'm
ports OF merchandise during the fiscal year
just closed amounted to S1Gi,313,05, OF
which 1881, 49,, COS was free OF duty. The
total imports were about S15.3J0,000 less
than last year, snd the excess of exports
over imports for the year was s2s7. 6l3, 1856
This is an excess Of about $1S5,OV0.0o0 over
last year, and an excess of about 81, 0o0.OOo
over any previous year.
The figures for June also show an i'm
portant gain. The domestic exports OF mer-
cbandise during that month amounted to
So. S66. $50, a gain over June, 1885, Of 5000,
600. The imports for June amount to Ss4.-
s26,l1O, as compared with $50. l6s, $40 for
June, 1896. The experts of gold, including
ores, for the fiscal year 1897 amounted to
SAC. 359. $50, compared with Sill, 409,gi7
for 1896. The imports of gold amounted to
S5,013575, an increase of about S5l ,500,O 900
over 1896 The exports of silver during
1897 amounted to SOL. 9i6.63S and the i'm
ports $50, 533. DOT.
The excess of gold imports over exports,
therefore. was s44. 653. 195. and the excess
of silver exports over imports, $31, 413. AL
Never before has the silver movement,
both export and import. reached SO high a
figure.
