Tho DeeAdenoe OF Briush Trade.

In a large octave volume Of some 200 pages,
entitled Our Trade IN the u ord IN Relation to
Foreign Competition Chapman & Hall. Mr.. W.
s. III. GAsTRELL, Commercial Attach6 to tho
British Embassy at Berlin and TO the legations
at Copenhagen and Stockholm. has complied a
quantity OF statistics relating to his chosen sub
ject. Tho latest returns presented In tho book
arc for 1895, those OF 1906 not having appeared
at the date Of publication. Wo must needs
qualify. therefore, to a certain extent. the
authors somewhat %pessimistic conclusions, for
the total export and import trade OF Great
Britain in 1893 was larger by nearly $3.50, OOo,-
600 than 1t had been In tho previous year.
The exports alone were larger by upward of
$52,5OO,OOo, and the exports Of domestic
produce and manufacture by more than $780,
OOO.OO0. The British transit trade. however. as
shown by the figures for reBxport. fell Off be.
tween 1898 and 1896 by Sl7, 500. 900, a serious
loss to England, considered as tho Emporium OF
the world. The sections OF this book TO which
we shall invite attention are the introduction
and the chapters headed Comparison Of Eng.
lAnd's Trade with That Of the Principal Nations

sent from Continental countries or the tJn,.sa
States are always exactly what have been mr..
dered, whereas British manufacturer do not
always supply repeat" orders OF PRECISELY thn
same commodity, but send something similar
which. however. was not what was wan,ed
by tho customer. Thus it comes to
pass that tho latter sometimes gives Nm
English goods, even II no has tried
them. MIR. Gastrell mentions an incident thar
occurred in California. English exporters lost
almost entirely the San Francisco marked
through their selling there to wholesale and re.
tail people at the Same price. Tho former, con.
scquently, gave up buying directly from Eng.
land or from English agents. and now 20 to New
York importers. Mr.. Gastrell submits that
the fact that British goods go to San Fran.
cisco via New York, and through the hands
OF American importers in tho last.nSmed
place. and over thirty.lvo hundred mileu
Of railway, rather than directly by sea from
the exporters OF Great Britain, shows that
there must DO something wrong In somo de.
tails OF tho British trading system. Another
fact worth noting is that from every corner In
the world comes the cry, Don't send us Eng.
lish catalogues British Consuls, we loarn, ara
tired of pointing out tho uselessness Of this pro.
ccdure; their consulatcs nro Inundated with
them, and they arc unintelligible TO the natives
to whom they are intended to appeal. 1t In
further asserted by British Consuls that the
catalogues OF British merchandise are far be.
hind those Of tho United States and Germany In
every way, and need somo radical improve
ments. Other plumbers on the part OF those
desiring to push tho consumption OF Brit.
ish merchandise are specified by the au.
thor of this book. In Egypt, for instance,
tho rate Of commission charged by English
agents of good standing Is so high that It 10
cheaper for the Cairo Government, in the case
Of certain goods. to buy directly through an
agent OF their own In England. They thus make
a net saving of II per cent. The keen competi.
ton Of the Continent, and especially OF the
Germans as middlemen or brokers. has shown
that safe business can be done on very low com.
missions. Englishmen are warned, also, that
they should endeavor by all available means 10
enter into direct communication with the con.
sumner. who is suprenely Indifferent to the ma.
tionRlity Of his furnisher. The foreign and ma.
tive middlemen buy. necessarily, OF the most
obliging vendors. Another point OF great impor.
lance to foreign middlemen Is that Continental
English firms, allowing at least six months
credit and ready facilities for extension, 30 that
time Is given for a disposal Of part Of the con-
signment before the account for It 10 settled.
English houses only give two. and possibly, three
months credit, and frequently insist on pay
ment on delivery. II, again. as 10 the case In
Egypt, foreign manufacturers lay themselves
out to suit the natives wants, and offer articles
more to their liking than those sent from Eng
land. 1t is natural that the Egyptians should
turn to them in preference.

Mr.. Gastroll cites reasons for fearing that Brit.

favorable results for English firms and mercan-
tile houses competing for contracts and tenders.

opportunities Of Engl shmen TO be exceptional,
and to the increasing tendency OF foreign enter
prise to beat them In the open market. This.
We arc told, Is but one OF many instances on
record. Markets for some commodities are lost
through the reluctance Of English merchants TO
make sacrifices at first In order to establish
the reputation of their wares with a foreign
public. The standing OF good English makers

the claim of the Catholic Church TO be

call in question tho authority of the Bible itself;
OH the contrary. they averred that to that book

The estimated cost of the improve

no savings bank in connection with

people force the government to take
care Of their savings just the same.
They buy money orders drawn payable
to themselves, and 50 they force the
government to keep their savings.
Now, when there is such a demand,
do not see why the government can not
go further and open g. savings depart
ment. It will be done some time, and
I shall do all I cam to have the next
congress consider and pass q postal

1T is generally conceded that con-
gress will be called in extra session
as soon after March 4 as possible, I'M
der the circumstances and that the
passage of the new tariff bill will be
the one important matter to come up.
1t Is fortunate that the members Of
the present ways and means commit
tee are nearly all reelected, and so
the work being done this session will
really be in preparation for the next
congress. 1 do not suppose twill take
long to pass the tariff bill in the
house, but the senate will probably in
sist upon full and complete discussion
of the bill before it is allowed to pass.
But l have no doubt that there will
be no factious opposition in the senate,
and that when the measure has been
tically upon the lines laid down by
the house -
'Then 1 believe congress should adj

nothing so much as chance to attend

never known the time when the lumber
interests of the Northwest were pros
porous, but every other industry was
also doing well. 1t is a short propo-
sition and I think 1T will take no great
amount Of time to convince congress
that we need it. This tariff question
Is a serious matter, and 1t Is being
regarded more and more as a matter
Of business and not mere politics, and
I think that indicates that it will be
settled upon business principles and
with business promptness.

Well, should not be surprised IL Mr..

will be heartily glad to get rid Of so
large an amount of labor which comes
within the distribution Of patronage.
The new order leaves very little for a

The two roomers were out during the
evening and returned to their room
about midnight. They found the door
to their rooms unlocked, and discovered
two men within. Without making any
noise, they withdrew, and, while one
OF them ran for the police the other
stood guard at the outside door. Short
ly before the arrival Of the police. the
burglars found that they were being
watched and Bracket drew a revolver
on the guard, but he put the weapon
back into his pocket as the policeman
came up the stairs. The two burglars
We're soon taken into custody and

Zimmerman, who had gone out for
the police, found Officers Ben White
and George at Sixth street and NicoI-
let avenue and the officers lost no time
in making for the scene Of the burglary
and IN corraling their prey.
The two alleged burglars had caused
confusion in the rooms. Clothing and
gents furnishings were tied up in bun
dies ready to be carried away, while
the bureau drawers were searched,
Kane's pockets yielded a skeleton key,
with which entrance had been effected
into the rooms A pocketbook belong

found in his possession This con-
tanned nothing but receipts. A vaIua-
bic CLOCK was also in the bundle of
clothing ready to he taken away The
burglars were so surprised by the ap-

scarcely knew what to do, but. as an
excuse, said they lad been sent to the
rooms to see a girl However, they
could rot explain why. they had bun
