PRESIDEN7,s INsTRUCT1ONs.
Erroneous Impression Respecting Their
 Nature to Paris Commissioners


 Nature to Paris Comm issi toners. Washington, Jan. 31.--It appears that an erroneous impression has gone abroad respecting the nature of the presidents instructions to the Ameri- can peace commissioners in Paris, touching the limitation of the claims to be put forward, so far as the Philip pines are concerned, to the island of Luzon. So far from making that island the maximum claim of the Americans, the presidents instructions actually placed that island as the minimum claim to be set out The language was nothing less than the island of Luzon" instead of nothing more than the isl and of Luzon." It can be stated that the correspondence submitted to the senate included all of the instructions to the American commissioners.

COMP ErITIoN COMING.

While this country is cutting into Eng lands trade an English colony is getting ready to cut into the trade of this coun- try. The Canadian government will open the Soulanges canal in August, and by it's operation the cost of transporting lake freights will, it is believed, be re- duced beyond the possibility of profita- ble competition by any other existing route. The cost of transporting wheat via lake and canal will be reduced one- half. The same is equally true of all other products destined to transatlantic ports from the territory tributary to the great lakes. In this enterprise the Can adian government has expended over $62,O0OO00. Besides this, there has been expended from revenues for repairs and betterments enough to make total of $70, 100000.
 No wonder New York is getting uu- easy over the situation. There is reason for uneasiness.

NEW AND IMPRESSIVE.

| The Trust Company of America is at I tracing attention because it will at tempt to develop form of business
 which is new to this country and which,
 if successful may revolutionize our
 banking methods. The Trust Company
 of America was incorporated on Satur- | day last at Albany It will have a capi- tai of S2,5O0000 and paid-in surplus of an equal amount-or $5,000,000 of avail | able funds-before a dollar of (deposits | is received. Its stockholders include
 many of the wealthiest and most infu- ential capitalists in the country and | representatives of many of the richest
 and most powerful institutions. The stock is not only distributed among fifty
 cities, but also among the most impor- tant of the industries of the country. But what has attracted the greatest at-
 tention is the unofficially announced
 purpose of establishing branch offices
 throughout the country and the alleged,
 though as yet undisclosed, plan of hav- ing branches in foreign business centers. If the development of the new company on these lines proves successful, profita- ble and convenient it's example will un-
 doubtedly be followed by other compa- nfes.
 That the Trust Company of America will establish foreign branches is be- lieved in Wall street, where it is said that it's attention will be mainly turned to South America. MT. Cragin, the pro- moter of the company, is largely inter- ested in affairs in Central and South America and has thorough acquaint- ance with the banking and commercial needs of those countries. Other men who are important stockholders in the new company are members Of the Ma tional Association of Manufacturers, which has for the past two years been agitating the establishment of Ameri- can banking facilities in South Ameri- can countries to avoid the expense and inconvenience of the present method of making payment through exchange on London. It is believed that the new companv has been assured of a profita- bIe business of this kind, and that it will take advantage of it.

fairs is not due. in Sir Benjamin'a opinion, to the advantage which the United States has over Great Britain in the matter of labor troubles Possibly the purchase of the Atbara bridge in America may have been remotely one of
 the effects of the engineers strike in 1897, but the importations of agricultur- al machinery and engines have been the steady growth of years, and not the re- suit of an incident that happened two years ago. No more do the restrictions of trades -unionism account for the im- portations from the United States. It is said that English workmen are very apt to try and limit their output by do- ing as little work as they can. There are some malpractices of this kind, it is admitted, but Sir Benjamin points out that shipbuilding, which is honey combed with trades-unionism beyond any other industry, has not suffered ma terially. The great desderatum for British trade, it is asserted, is regular ity-more orders in bad times, less pres sure in good times. At this moment there is plenty of employment for labor in Great Britain, and industries of all kinds are busy. But no one can foresee how long this state of affairs will last or how soon Great Britain may have a wave of bad trade.

AN ENGITSH .LA IT ENI'.

Our English brothers are quite busy nowadays wondering and explaining
 why we are getting so far ahead ot
 them in manufacturing some things. In
 the National Review for June Sir Ben
 ian1in c. Browne discusses the matter
 thoroughly and from the standpoint of
 q practical business man. Sir Benjamin
 frankly admits that as far as the man. ufacture of electrical machinery is con cerned. the United States, Germany,
 Switzerland and Belgium are ahead of Great Britain, and that British infer iority is a very serious matter. "Our weakness in this branch of trade" he says, may fairly be used as an argu- ment in favor of higher and more tech- nical education.'' As to the cause of this weakness he is in doubt, although apparently he would attribute it in a
 measure to the influence of trades unionism and partly to the tardiness of British manufacturers in taking up new lines.
 In regard to the purchase of American locomotives for British railroads Sir Benjamin states that the demands of these railroads for machinery and en- zines are irregular, and they have so far killed the trade by their own practices that if there comes a sudden demand the firms are not in existence in Great Britain to supply any very large in crease of locomotives. Twenty five years ago, he says there were prob- ably dozen firms any one of which would have been eager to take an order for thirty express engines To-day there are less than eight The railroad com panies it was argued, have made a mistake in not giving out more of their orders in ordinary times to keep these works at their disposal, so that when busy times come they would be there to meet their requirements.
 There can be little doubt, concludes Sir Benjamin, after an exhaustive re- view of the situation, that in the indus tries above mentioned the United States is by far the most formidable conpeti tor Great Britain ever had If England is to keep it's position in the industrial world, the greatest enterprise, energy. skill and intelligence are needed on the part of employers, worlmen and the British public.

FASHION NOTES.

Some one is slow to learn that the es- sential point in the use of braid is in the application ont. That is that lit- tie put on in a novel or picturesque way has greater decorative value than ex- pensive quantities or any amount of in- tricate designs. Whsther the faultfor tar diness is with tailors and dressmakers or with their customers is hard to as- certain. The former are quick to see what their patrons want and to supply it, so probably the responsibility rests with fashionable women
 It is more serious than appears at first glance, because it so often happens that by striving after striking effects and originality with free use of braid a dress becomes over-trimmed That is
