The Fourth Ohio will be the last of
the volunteer soldiers to be relieved
from service at present. This brings
out a matter OF interest in the amount
of money paid to onio soldiers at this
point.
The national government has dis
pensed something like 100000 to the
soldiers coming from this state. being
the amount due them at the time they
were mustered out of service. The Of
fice here pays nothing but balances to
soldiers when dismissed. There have
been few exceptions to this rule, but
they have been very few. One of these
was when they paid the officers of the
Seventeenth sthe salaries for the men,
amounting in all to about 20,00O. This
was the middle of last month and will
be repeated in January.
For the volunteers their Chief work
has been done when they distributed
In October $133,716, in November $21S,-
1882 and In December 100000 Dur
Ing the time they were disburslng
these amounts the largest payment
was In Wooster, when they dismissed
the Eighth regiment, giving out in one
day $I44.00O. This work mas kept the
department more than ordinarily busy
and will engage their attention for
some days to come.
The Seventeenth has just discharged
200 men who, having enlisted for the
term of the war, have signified their
desire to take advantage of the privil-
ege of resigning before the regiment
goes to, Manila. There have been 200
finals handed to the paymaster in the
last few days to be worked out at once
The work here has been done during
the last few months by Major George
B. Guild, as paymaster, assisted by
George M. Guild and Colfax Earl An

horid and contented than ever since,
his return from the European trfp, has
little to say aside from the statement
that his visit to London was eminent !

sisted in that process, are progressing
in every way satisfactorily to the n, q

Squeezing interest Out Of ROYALTY

The custom, long practiced by Euro
pean royalty, of storing away wealth
in the Bank of England, is called to
the public attention once more by the
refusal of the House of Lords, sitting
as supreme court of appeal, to al
low the executors OF the late Empress
OF Austria to withdraw her funds un-
til her will has-been admitted to pro-
bate in the English courts.
The Bank of England is regarded by
royalty as the safest deFosifp vadit&fn
Europe. Revolutionary moths and
political rust may corrupt riches at
home, but the Ola Lady OF Threaded
die street, as the Bank of England is
DOpularly called,is as sound as eternity
1nis tendency to send funds i away
from home in Europe is similar to the
one that prompts people in this coun-
try 20 eyade takes by keeping, their
funds out of the State in which they
live. But the practical Enghshman
has not undertaken the task of banker
to European royalty, without due comE2
pehsation. 1t appears that the enor-
nous fortune the late empress of Aus,
tria, after all the legal formalities have
been fulfilled, will have to pay a sue
cession tax of seven per cent before it
can be withdrawn. The, Austrian gov
ernment naturally demurs, and holds
that the property of foreign soyereigns
like that of ambassadors possesses
extra territorial privileges that ex-
empts them from the Jurisdiction of
the native courts. The same question
came up at the death of the late car
OF Russia. The Russian government
made such lusty complaint over the
payment of interest that Sir William
Harcourt, who was then chancellor of
the exchequer, agreed to remit the
dues.
Among the other noted depositors of
tn Bank of England are Queen Chris
tina of Spain, who has the greater
part of her private fortune in the bank
the king and queen of Italy the Pope
of Rome, the khedive of Egypt, and
countless thieVing dictators of South
American republics. Ike recent de-
cision in the House of Lords, however,
threatens to diminish the information
al bankihg business in the future.
1t is a curious fact that the only SOW
ereign OF Europe who has not at some
time done banking at the old stand on
Threadneedle street is Queen Victoria,
who keeps her money at private bank

Our TRADE WITH CHINA.
fThc CclcstInIs Import Millions OF
Dollars Worth of Our Goods.

Washington. May 26.-Mr Hugh
,O'Berne second secretary of the British
embassy, has made report to the British
foreign Office on the extent of commerce
between the United States and China. The
report is opportune to the recent move
ments Of the European powers towards Sc
curing advantages in China. Mr.. O'Beirne
does not deal with the political phases
which haze been the most important topic
In Europe, but Of the large commercial
interests in China of the United States.
The report shows that the present volume
of United States trade in China represents
more than one seventh of the entire trade
OF the empire. 1t is % per cent greatsr
than the trade of Germany win China.
The Increase in American trade has been
going on rapidly within the last ten years
and this increase has been entirely on the
side of the American goods, our exports IN
ereasing while Chinese exports were de-
creasing. The most valuable branch of the
trade is that in cotton goods.
Mr.. OBeirne showed the Importance Of
the Chinese trade for cotton. In the last
year China took ST. 100000 out of a total
export OF $l7,2Sl 900 or almost half Of all
our cotton clothes shipped abroad He
says Chinese. especially these Of Manchuria,
prefer American drills and sheetngs, as
they are heavier. The great bulk of tn ase
cottons are shipped from the New England
mills to New York and via the Suez canal.
But there has been quite recently a re-
markable increase of shipment from the
West by way of San Francisco and Puget
Sound. He says:
There is reason to think that the eff
lectlye opening of the interior provinces 10
foreign commerce will be followed by a
great expansion of the Chinese demand for
foreign cotton. in which the Chinese in
porters will have a large share of interest,
The mass Of Chinese population are clad
almost exclusively in cotton clothing. which
oners a practically unlimited market for
cotton goods
The export of American kerosene oil IN
China ranks second to that of cotton goods
