Philadelphia on Mondays is some

success or failure of an engagement not

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 6.-The an
nual report of State Engineer Adams
devotes much space to the commerce
of the United States. Elaborate ia
bles have been compiled from the rec
ords of the government and other
sources, dating back 200 years, giving
the values Of the trade between the
several American colonies and Great
Britain up to the beginning of the
revolutionary war, and after that
time and up to date the values of eX-
ports from the leading Atlantic and
Gulf states.
Mr.. Adams says that the port of New
York, which a third of a century age
commanded 70 per cent of the total ex-
ports of the nation, today commands
but 81 per cent Of them. Statistics
presented show that New York's for
eign commerce has never been so low
as last year since 1885,
1t is in her exports that New York
commercial losses have occurred. Ir

two-thirds of the nations total Ir

Way 1t Can Re Met

Way 1t Can Re Met.
There can be little doubt that the grip
which has played such sad havoc for years,
has not only left its effects upon a great
many, but seems to be returning in various
localities. All physicians report that there is
ar alarming prevalence of heavy colds, ac-
ccmpanied by all grip symptoms. Many p, O.
pie take colds easier than before; others are
troubled with weak eyes, headaches, etc.
These things not only come to those who
were laid low by the grip last year, but a-e
also sting many who aped. Pains, neu-
r" Jlassitude, all the symptoms are pres
Every leading physician who treated the
grip last season prescribed stimulants The
weakened, depressed state of the body de-
nended this, and there are numerous cases
on record where pure whiskey saved the lives
OF men and women who were fast drifting
toward the grave. AS in all other things,
however, the purity Of an article determines

Key, of medical quality, which can be made
available, and it is in this respect that Duff

be UNNECESSARILY superior to any other

physicians has been drawn to this truth, and

STRIKERS NOT IN ACCORD.
Gompers Predicts Failure for Their
War on Textile Manufac-

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. EN- an in
terview after a secret conference of the
leaders of the labor organizations to-
day, Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, said
that unless the hostile factions of the
textile unions came to some agreement
very quickly, the strike at New Bed
ford would be of little avail.
At the conference today, at Mr.. Com
pers suggestion, committee was ap-
pointed to bring all the different
branches together.
He said that he did not think the
best work was being put forward to
help the strikers in New Bedford, and
that until this was done the revolt
against lower wages would scarcely re-
suit in victory for the help.
Later in the day Mr.. Gompers adj
dressed the members of the Central La
Dor union and expressed his intention
of doing everything in his power to
assist the textile workers
