have been in mills where large orders

have been larger probably than III any

These many disasters among wool

business conditions of the current
year. They are the elimination of a
series of years of short business at
less than living prices. In the year

Women who have suffered severely

A LEADER DIES.
Congressman Dingley Yields to an
Attack of Pneumonia.
For Two Weeks Hc HOvered Between
Life and Death-Represented the
Second Maine District In
Congress Tor II Years.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Hon. Nelson
Dingley, of Maine, leader of the re-
publican side on the floor of the house
of representatives, died here last night
at 10: 80 o'clock of heart failure result
ing from extreme weakness due to
pneumonia. He was unconscious dur
ing most of the day, and death came
quietly without consciousness being
regained. There were present at the
time Mrs. Dingley, Miss Edith Ding
ley, Messrs. +. y. and \. H. Dingley
sons of the deceased; James G. Hooe,
an intimate friend of the family; Dr.
lleale, one of the physicians who has
been attending him throughout his
illness, and the two nurses. TO within
a few hours before his death the fam
lily firmly believed, as it has through
out his illness, that Mr.. Dingley would
recover.
Mr.. Dingley's illness dated back to
December 30, when he complained that
he was not well. The physician dag
nosed his case as one of grip, and eau
toned the patient to keep to his room.
The following Saturday pneumonia
developed in the left lung, compli-
Gated with great irregularity of the
heart.

A YEAR OF PROGRESS.
Confidence I'm the Republican Trade
Policy Has Brought Great
Prosperity.

Part of the story of the wonderful
commercial development of the United
States during the past calendar year is
told in the weekly trade review issued
by Dun d Co. Most of the story is IA
miliar to our readers.
Not only have all previous records
been eclipsed in the foreign trade of
the country, but they have been broken
by prodigious figures. During the past
twelve months the value of the exports
has exceeded those of any previous 12
months by almost $500, 100000. and the
value of the exports and imports COM
bined is greater by about Sl00,OOO,O 900
than in the previous banner year Of
1892. Furthermore, during the year
just closed. the balance of trade in our
favor reached the enormous total of
$617,000,000, against S357,00O,000 last
year. In only two other years did the
balance in our favor rise TO $500, 100000,
Never before this year did the imports
of gold exceed the exports by $i5.G00,-
900. During the year just closed the ex-
cess of gold imports over the exports
reached the enormous total of $l41 co.,
900. Not only have we paid big debts
we owed abroad but we are now lend
ing so much money in Europe that the
foreign bankers are looking to New
York to fix the rate Of exchange. Thus
have we been released from the ''domi-
nation of the European money kings"
which has been the burden of populis-
tic complaint, and the United States
can to-day be counted as an independ-
ent nation in a financial, as well as
many other senses.
The triumph in financial affairs. says
the trade review, is largely due to in
dustrial progress. For the first time
in the history of the country, the ex-
ports of manufactured products have
exceeded the imports of manufactures
that excess in iron and steel products
alone amounting TO about $74,G"O,OO0,
and Industrial activity is noticeable
everywhere, mills and factories run
ming now as they have~seldom been op-
Grated before.
When it is remembered that all this
industrial and commercial progress has
come during the year in which the
United States has fought and won
foreign war, and on the heels of a long
and disastrous panic, tie people ought
to be convinced that the result IS due
in a great measure TO the policies that
have been inaugurated and maintained
by the party that was entrusted with
the control of the government by the
voters at the election of 1896, and which
Will assume complete control CT all
branches of the government when the
next congress begins business, one year
hence. When the merchants and manu-
facturers of a country have confidence
in the financial and industrial policy
! that is in force, and the farmers are
| getting fair return for their toll,
| there is bound TO be prosperity. and
such prosperity should continue as long
as the conditions remain favorable

CHOATE is THE MAN
He Is Nominated for Ambassador to
England.

Washington. Jan. 12.-The nomina-
ton of Joseph Choate, Of New York. to
be ambassador to Great Britain to sue
ceed Secretary Hay, was sent to the
senate by the president yesterday.
Joseph Hodges Choate was born in
1892 in Massachusetts. He graduated
in 1854 from Harvard Law School and
was admitted in 1855 to the bar. He
formed partnership with William
II. Barnes. but in 1859 became a mem
ber of the firm Of Evarts, Southmayd

Choate has been acknowledged to be
the leader of the New York bar.
Mr.. Choate's political career prac-
ticallv began in 1856, when he took
the stump for Fremont. Since then
he has been known as an ardent re-
publican, though he has never held of
fee. At times he has not been in

a TRIBUTE TO DEWEY.
German Officer who was at Manila.
EuIOgizes the American Admirafs
COnduct.

New York, Jan. 13.-Maj. Alphonse
Won Sonnenburg, the German military
expert who was at Manila during the
blockade by the United States navy
after the battle of Cavite, and who is
now in this city, speaking yesterday
about Rear Admiral Dewey said:
There were never any honest diff
culties between Dewey and the Ger
man admiral, Won Dederich; there
was only a theoretical difference about
the Interpretation of one word in the
expression 'droit de visite'-the right
of search. That was the meaning -
'visite,' for the forms of search were
different towards different Kinds of
vessels, towards merchantmen and
ships of war. But after the friendli-
est exchange of letters by the two ad-
nirals an understanding was at once
reached. To show you the spirit that
was in it, | will tell you that the
American squadron once received sup
plies of frozen mutton. and your ad
miral sent Admiral Won Diederich d
present of half a sheep. The other re-
turned the compliment by sending
Dewey living calf, procured some
where in the islands. You see how
stupid it is to think they wanted to
begin shooting at each other.
THE English" Maj. Won Sonnen-
burg continued, ''were at the bottom
of this story of a misunderstanding.
All that the English in Manila could
do to create suspicion and trouble be-
tween the two countries they did.
They sent false stories to Hong Kong,
which from there were telegraphed
over the whole world.
Here is another example of the
great broadmindednes Of Admiral
Dewey. When the consuls of various
neutral countries became frightened
for fear Manila would be bombarded,
the German consul went to Dewey at
Cavite and asked if he had any objec-
tions to chartering Spanish steamers
then lying in the river Pasig. placing
ON board the neutral refugees and an
choring those vessels in between the
neutral warships. Dewey answered:
We'll, why not? ! do not make war
against women and children. Even
the Spanish non-combatants were
granted this privilege"

Nelson Dingley, ir., governor of
Maine in 1S7415, and member of con-
gress from the Second congressional
district of Maine since 1851. was born
in Durham, Me-, February Is, 1882. the
son of Nelson and Jane Lambert Ding
ley. In 1854 his parents moved to Au-
burn. At II he taught a winter school
in the town Of China, IA miles from
home. and he continued to teach win
tiers while fitting for college.
Entering Waterville college (now
Colby university in 1851. he remained
there a year and half and then be-
came a student at Dartmouth college.
from which institution he was gradu-
ated in 1855 with high rank. After
leaving college Mr.. Dingley studied
law in Auburn. and was admitted to
the bar. Instead of entering upon the
practice of law. he decided to become
a journalist. and in 1856 he purchased
the Lewiston journal.
In 1861 he was elected representa-
tive from Auburn to the state legisla-
ture. in which body he at once took
high rank. was reelected several
times and was speaker of the house in
1863.
In 1873 Mr.. Dingley was nominated
as the republican candidate for gov
ernor of Maine and was elected by
about 10000 majority. In 1874 he was
reelected.
He actively participated in the presi-
Dental campaign of 1876 and in 1881
was nominated by the republicans of
the Second congressional district to
fill the vacancy in congress caused by
the resignation of Hon. William F.
Frye. He was elected by majority
of over 5000.
When he entered congress he was
made a member of the committee on
banking and currency, serving there
eight years. At the beginning of his
congressional career the country was
disturbed on the question of the ex-
tension of national bank charters. He
Immediately Identified himself with a
bill for the extension of the charters
of the banks and in the face of much
opposition helped fight the bill
through.
But it is difficult TO name any i'm
portant legislation in congress of the
last u wears with which he was not
identified. His first speech in congress
was made April 25, 1852, on "protec-
tion to American shipping" While he
had been active in financial matters
he was thoroughly informed on ship
ping, having come from a state with
large shipping interests.
Mr.. Dingley was not an orator. He
lacked the physical presence, the de
velopment of throat and chest and
quality of voice which make men ora
tors. None the less all the members
listened when he arose to speak. He
had a wonderfully lucid way of as
serting facts, going at once to the
heart of every contested point. He
also had remarkable faculty of pre-
senting an argument. His mind was
logical to the highest degree.

RESUMPTION OF GOLD.
Ultimate Results of the sound Money
Act of the Republicans
In 1878.

From January l, 1879, onward to this
hour, every dollar of the country's cir
culs :ir,S medium-greenbac national
bank Eotes, Bland dollars, Bland GER
t.iicates and all other sorts of currency
has been worth everywhere in the
United States 100 cents in gold. Ihis
was the immediate effect of the gold Ie-
sumption act. Now for some of the
acts other consequences. The banks,
the national treasury and the country
al large have far greater amount OF
gold now than ever before. The clear
ances of the country's railroads, the
output of the country's textile and
metal manufactures and the sum total
of the country's business interests and
activities are greater than at any time
in the past. In the year just ended we
have sold more goods abroad than Eng
lard, thus taking the primacy IN that
particular heretofore held by that state.
New York, in the past few months, has
passed London in the extent of its I'M
Forts and exports and in the amount Of
It's business transactions, and the
worlds monetary center is shifting TO
this side Of the Atlantic. The countrys
social and political prestige among the
nations of the world was never so high
in the past as it is now. The prosperity
and general wellbeing of its people
never before reached the high mark
which it touches at this moment. These
are some of the ultimate effects of the
act which the republican party placed
ba pal TO- nj 10 hnnly in SIX
and which went into operation in 1879.
