A PAIR OF ROGUES.
Jago and Kynaston, Arraigned for
Trial in London.

London, Sept 2.-J. w. Jago, chief
officer of the White Star line steamer
Britannia, who was arrested on board
the Cunard line steamer Lucania on
her arrival at Queenstown on August
II, charged with being concerned in the
robbery of Transatlantic mails and
John Kynasten, third officer of the Bri-
fannie who is charged with the theft
from the mails of bonds, coupons, dia-
mOnds, etc, who arrived in custody at
Queenstown board the Germanic
from New York on Wednesday last
were brought up for examination at the
Bow street police court today. Among
the letters stolen it was said in court,
was one containing forty United States
bond coupons and another containing
81, 500 in greenbacks.
Counsel for the British pOstofice
made a statement saying Jago was I'M
doubtedly the prime mover in the rob-
berries. He explained that it was ar
ranged that KynastOn should receive
the mail bags at Queenstown and place
certain of the sacks, from London, so
that they might be easily reached. The
same night Kynaston visited the mail
room and brought the mail bags to
lagos cabin. On the following night
he repeated this performance but both
the bags were found to contain matter
which was useless to the prisoners. ON
the third night however, registered
letter bag was secured. Two days be
fore the arrival of the Britannia at New
York, Jago gave Kynaston twenty
stolen coupons to cash but kynaston
was arrested as a result of the SuS-
picions of the cashier of the bank at
which he presented them and Jago ned
after endeaVoring to dispose of guam
tity of stolen property by posting IL 10
relatives and friends.
Counsel added that most OF the above
facts were derived from a confession

AHEAD OF SWITZERLAND.
United States Outstrips Her in the
japanese Watch Trade.

New York, Sept. "A special to the
Tribune from Washington says;
There is a good deal in Consul Adolph
L. F'rankenthaPs report from Berne
concerning the Swiss and American
watch trade rivalry in Japan to encour-
age American manufacturers. His let
ter is dated July u, and eencloses the
translation of the Swiss consul generals
report to his government in which i'm
portant admissions are made. In 1896
SWltzerIand'S export was equal to that
of the United States, but in 1897 the
latter gained. Mr.. Frankenthal says
that the reason was either that there
was greater push on the part of the
Americans or there was a considerable
reduction in the prices The reason is
notable either way, as showing Amer
lean ability in a field in which a few
years ago the Swiss enjoyed pre-emi-
nence over other nations.
Mr. FrankenthaI admits, however,
that while the United States takes the
1ead OF exports OF parts of watches and
other materials, Switzerland is far
ahead in the export Of complete watch
es.
The Swiss consul general, Ritter,
notes that the two Japanese factories.
one at Osaka, which imports movements
and rough cases from the United States
and another at Toxic, which is super
intended by Japanese who learned their
trade in Switzerland and proposes to
import parts of watches, are not likely
TO give competition. The Osaka Watch
company has discharged. its American
the Japanese factories produce at a
higher cost work which lacks the fin
ish of the complete American article
and also that the United States has the
lions share of the important watch
parts It furnishes everything used by
the Osaka factory which produces only
American watches.
He says further, that in 1897 the
United States export to Japan was
$25,S94 compared with the Swiss export
of only 50 663. AS the Osaka factory
can hardly use one-third of the United
States export, These figures show con-
cIusively that the United States fur
nishes more material of watches than
does Switzerland itself This is a great
admission. Another point he presents
Is that the import of the number of
United States watches is only 694 of
that of Switzerland, but the value of
the same is 1879 per cent of the value
of the Swiss import Tt is worthy of
note that in 1885, the difference between
the import of the United States and
Switzerland was merely nominal; Unit
ed States S24. 361; Swiss $25, 491. When
therefore, reasons Mr.. Ritter in the
year 1896 Switzerland held its own
against the United States and could not
do so in 1897, it must be concluded that
the manufacturers of the United States
sell cheaper or are more energetic than
the Swiss competition

Washington, Sept. 2.-''When Cover
nor Black was discussing with me the
situation of the men of the Sixty-fifth
New York. said General Corbin today,
''he referred to a peculiar mental and
nervous condition which he found ex-
listing among the men. He said the
men and officers were exceedingly NOR
bid. Some of the privates would burst
into tears while conversing with him.
1.-The governor was much touched by
what he saw and heard. When the
men were asked if they wished to re-
turn home, they hesitated to reply.
They did not know whether they would
be welcomed home or not, they said.
They had seen no fighting, and while it
was not their fault that they had not
met the enemy, they felt as if they had
lost prestige among their friends.
Affects the Well Men.
ST have myself found that one of the
peculiar things connected with this
war" continued General Corbin, lis
the mental and physical condition of
officers and men. This condition does
not relate so much to the men in hos
pitfalls as it does to those in camp who
have not seen active service. The men
seem to be completely unnerved.
"A few days ago a distinguished New
York officer came into my Office and be-
gan a conversation with me on business
connected with his command. Every
few minutes in the course of his talk,
he would burst into tears. He said,
in explanation of his hysteria, that he
was and had been for some time in an
exceedingly nervous condition. He
could not understand why he was thus
afflicted, as he was a temperate man
and was suffering from no organic dis
ease as far as his physician could as
certain. I have seen number of cases
of this kind among officers within the
last two weeks.
What DOty Saw.
f'I have had the same experience with
enlisted men who have called upon me.
all seem to be in the same overweight
mental condition. None of these men
had been in Cuba. DR.. Doty of New
York, also called my attention to his
observations in the same direction in
the camps he had visited. DR.. DOty
says the disease is similar to the grip,
in the mysterious way in which it seiz-
es men,
primarily it was the result of severe
mental strain, followed by sudden re-
Taxation. The men had enlisted with
the intention of fighting. They had re-
manned in camp with the daily eXpecta-
ton of being ordered to the front, when,
suddenly, peace was declared. Then
came a relaxation of the intense mental
strain under which they had formerly
existed. Disappointment followed,
which intensified their mental and phys
zeal condition. They were in a NOR
bid state from which nothing but
change of scene, such as the sight of
home and friends, could probably rouse
them
