blew up suddenly and Sweeney felt the

1879 the figures show an increase of but
70 per cent in the domestic exports of the
United Kingdom and of 63 per cent in
those of the United States apparently
quite justifying Choates assertion that
the United States would continue to be a
rival, though a friendly one, for the
United Kingdom In its relations with
the commercial world.
That the rivalry has been and is a
friendly one, even to the extent of cor
diality, is shown by the fact that, despite
our rapid increases in the sup
plies which we are Offering to
the markets of the world. Great
Britain continues to take proportionate
share Of that increase. Our exports of
domestic merchandise to the United
Kingdom in 1879 amounted to s346, ,4S5, Ss1
and in 1898 were s754, 1876. .032. an increase OF
"a per cent, while, as already shown, our
general exports increased 63 per cent dur
ing that period. --i
This is the more striking and worthy
of remark In view of the fact that our
own imports from the United Kingdom
have not increased at the rate purchases
from the United States have grown In
deed, the imports into the United States
from the United Kingdom in 1898 are no
greater than they were twenty years ago,
the imports from the United Kingdom IN
1879 being sos, ,5SS, ,S12 and in 1898, $l0S, ,945,

gram to the Tribune from Rome says:
Public telegl ans sent from here are
less serious In tone than private advices,
and diplomats consider the pope's death
near. They have revived the controversy
as to whether the next conclave should
be held in Rome. The theory that the
college of cardinals would not be able to
make free choice here was exploded by the
fact that in February, 1875 seven years
after the Italian occupation, the present
pope was chosen at a cOnclave In the
Eternal City. There is, however, a chance
that if Pope Leo XIII. sufficiently recov
ers section of the college of cardinals
will wish him removed elsewhere.
No European government is neglecting
the precaution of receiving constant bull
letins on the pope's condition. The Eng
lish foreign Office receives the telegraphic
bulletins daily from Rome.
For three days the sacred college has
been weighing claims of the best quail
fed candidates. The thirty Italian car
dinals are said to hold different opinions
in regard to the attitude the next pope
should maintain toward the QuirinaI
The twenty-seven foreign cardinals of
the sacred college are also divided on
the question of a protectorate over Ro-
man Catholics in the Holy Land, which
has been so eagerly discussed since En-
peror Williams visit there last autumn.
The German and Austrian cardinals are
| resolutely opposed to France continuing
to monOpoliZe such protection, while the
French and Spanish cardinals insist upon
maintaining it.
In ecclesiastical circles here the opin-
ion is that the two most likely successors
to Leo XIII. are Cardinal Satolli, who,
in the conclave, would have the votes of
at least sixteen Italian cardinals, be-
sides those of more than half Of the for
eign cardinals, and Cardinal Gibbons,
whom French and German cardinals are
willing to support as compromise on
the Holy Land protectorate question. 1t
is believed many. Italian cardinals would
accord their suffrages to Gibbons, not
only on account of the enlightened char
acter of the archbishop. of Baltimore, but
with view to strengthening the growth
of Catholicism in the United States.

VICTORIA MAY RETIRE.
Queen Determined Not to Sign An
other Declaration of War.

; other Declaration of War.
LONDON, March 19.-Since Queen Vic
toria has gone to the south of France
there has been a revival in court and
diplomatic quarters of the rumor that she
contemplates abdicating In favor of the
Prince of Wales.
The rumor, of course, has been current
on and off for several years, and has
always met with a prompt denial. The
queen has always declared that as long
as God gave her strength to perform her
duties she would perform them.
But the last six months has seen a no.
table diminution in her physical powers
There is disinclination to the least ex-
ertion and an aversion even to her once
favorite relaxation of carriage drives.
A couple of months ago court gossip
had it that the queen suffered from dia-
betes, but unofficial doctors who saw her
embark at Folkestone last Saturday de-
clare the rumor must be incorrect. She
has been attended for months past by
her regular physicians.
Apparently some arrangement has been
made to tighten the queens work just
now. Last year, when she was at the
Riviera, a messenger with state docu-
ments left London daily and another
left Cannes every day with signed pa
pers. Now messengers leave each way
only twice a week.
The Prince of Wales is quite ready for
anything fate has in store. His friends
say, and with some right, that he is the
healthiest and soundest man of his years
in the whole crowd of imperial and royal
personages in Europe
The only comment necessary on the
foregoing rumor is the suggestion that
in case the government felt compelled to
adopt a distinctly belligerent policy to-
ward France or toward Russia in the
far East, Queen Victoria might take the
opportunity to create the Prince of
Wales regent, in order to carry out her
we'll known determination never to sign
another declaration Of war.

SEARCHING THE DEBRIS.
Slow Progress Made in Exploring
the Hotel Windsor Ruins.


the Hotel Windsor Ruins.
NEW YORK, March 19.-In a drizzling
rain more than 200 men today continued
to work among the debris and shoulder
ing ruins of the Windsor hotel searching
for the bodies of those who perished in
the flames and to recover any valuables
that might have escaped the ravages of
the fire. The efforts of the searchers
were futile, however as the ruins were
too hot to permit much progress, and the
smoke arising from the burning material
was rendered more dense by the damp
ness of the atmosphere. At intervals
during the night flames burst forth from
the burning embers and drove back the
workmen.
Work was begun this morning to de-
molish the fragmentary portions of walls
on the east and north sides of the burned
building, and later the number of work
ers was reinforced and the work of re-
moving the rubbish pushed as vigorously
as was practicable. One chimney. eigh-
ty-five feet high, standing on the Forty
sixth street side of the ruins, near Fifth
avenue, was blown up today Thirty
pounds of dynamite were placed under
the base of this chimney and electricity
was used to explode it.
Smoke and steam still rise from the
debris, and now and then tongues of
flames shoot up, even at this late hour
after the fire. The workmen have been
able to do only little superficial work
When they dig down a little way the
debris is so hot that they are obliged to
move to another locality
During the day wOrkmen were engaged
in picking to pieces the six-story wall
that is standing on the Forty-ssventh

AMERICAS EXPORTS OF DOMESTIC
OF ENGLAND
THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY
Figures for Last Year Bear Out the
Statement of Ambassador Chonte
That the United States and Great
Britain Are and VIII Be Trade
Rivals--TOtal of Over q Billion
Dollars.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Ambassa-
dor Choate's recent remark that the
United States and United Kingdom would
doubtlessly continue a friendly rivalry in
regard to the worlds commerce is quite
justified by the latest figures on the com
merce of the two countries as supplied by
the treasury bureau Of statistics. These
show that the exports Of domestic mer-
chandise from the United States in the
eight months ending with February
amount to 1929, 1886, ,14. In the calendar
year 1898 the domestic exports from the
United States amounted to 81, ,233, ,564 S2S,
while those of the United Kingdom
amounted to s1,1S1, 944,331.
The year 1898 was the first In which the
domestic exports from the United States
exceeded the domestic exports from the
United Kingdom. On only two occasions
prior to 1898 have the domestic exports
of the United States exceeded billion
dollars, while those of the United King
dom have constantly exceeded billion
dollars during the past twenty years. The
latest year in which her exports of do
mestfc merchandise fell below the billion
dollar line was 1879, when they amounted
to 1928, 1929, ,026 In 1879 our own exports of
domestic merchandise amounted to S754,-
