budget Of this correspondence to the
testimony furnished by foreign govern
ments and authorities of note in the
worlds trade of the tremendous strides
that have been made in the worlds
commerce during the past year. Let us
now examine some testimonials by our
W authorities. 1t is only necessary
in this connection to quote from the re-
cent figures prepared by the officials
of the Treasury Department to show
how marked has been the growth of our
foreign trade, and also the strikingly
interesting points showing the decline
In the imports of manufactured COM
modities, compared with the exports
Of like goods, as we'll as the general ex-
ports Of all classes of goods during the
past few months. But 1t is due to the
officials Of the State Department, who
are doing some excellent work through
the medium of the consuls of the Gov
eminent in foreign lands toward pro-
noting American trade, to note some
things said by the State Department
officials In recent comments upon the
growth of our foreign trade.
Attention has been repeatedly called
to the fact, which should not be lost to
the constant attention of prot~ectionists
the country over, that the develop
ment Of our trade in foreign countries,
especially In lines Of manufactures, is
mainly in those lines wherein the skill
and intelligence of American working
people in the utilization Of machinery
methods has gained and is gaining for
US broader markets in regions where,
II conditions We're equal and without
protective rates of duty to build up and
strengthen our domestic industries, our
high-priced Labor would be unable to
compete With the lower paid labor Of
foreign countries. This is, after all,
the strongest point that can be made
in support of the protection doctrine.
and upon 1t rest the good works that
are being done under the influence Of
protection, and which tend to make
that policy stronger with the American
people every succeeding day. Upon
those lines Of manufactures into which
labor largely enters directly 1t is impos-
sible for u Industries to produce
goods in competition with the produc-
ers of foreign countries.
Probably no branch Of industry in
this country has been more effectively
brought under the influence Of ma
clinery methods than the iron and
steel industry. Years of protection
have developed in this country mighty
mills and factories for the production
Of iron and steel goods. The result is
that these producing plants are now
able to undersell foreigners on many
lines Of machinery made goods. Since
the beginning Of last July there has
been an increase Of more than $15,-
100000 worth in our exports Of iron
and steel compared with the CORE
spending months Of the previous year.
The case OF manufacturers Of cotton
Affords another striking illustration.

AN EQUINE PARADOX
Sixty-one Horses Acting at One Time
in One Ring

Among the hundreds of star features as
sociaited with Ringing Brothers circus this
season nothing has attracted more atten-
tion or excited more admirdnS comment
than the marvellous performances or
O'Brien's school of Gnish-bred equnes. EN-
braced in '.nis equine company are sxty-one
OF the handsomest horses ever seen in
circus ring; a fact which all who witness
the performances of Ringing Brothers
circus when it exhibits in Birmingham on
Monday, November 6, wild be able to attest.
Three features of this great act are par
ticularly nctab.e: HE large number of
horses, the greatest company of equines
ever trained in this way, tle brilancy and
costly magnificence of the trappings, and
the immense amount of paraphernalla used
in the production The display is given in
the middle ring. This arena is especially
constructed for the act, and is carried by
the show Instead of the usual circle of
earth, there is a wooden parapet, the top
of which forms narrow circular platform
enclosing the arena. In the center of the
ring is a succession of circular stages, ris-
ing like terraces one above the other, and
ending in a lofty pedestal. The director
takes his station in the arena. A signal Is
given, and a handsome thoroughbred, with
arched neck and waving plumes, canterS
into the ring. This proud specimen of
horsehood, the matcInless charger, "Silver
King is the avant courier of sixty beau
tiful equines gorgeously caparisoned, but
unrestrained by rein or bride, which APP
proach with the whirl and sweep of cav

atters, without the slightest Hesitation or
prompting, execute the most difficult evo-
lutions, dance, pirouette, form colossal
t2bleaux, and go through the movements
OF a difficult military march. Then score
or more of the horses take their places on
the parape't of the ring; others group them
selves upon the circular central stages
AT the apex is the eIrapely "S!lver King"

and the waving of their vari-colored p.umes
they form picture of indescribable beauty

dramatic effect. This finale never fails to
create a sensation. OBriens famous sixty

fore 1T left her hands. 1t was in the shape
of a very large rosette of black tulle, SHIN
mering, transparent and delicate and in the
middle was a buckle of gold. 1t supplied
the missing note and the rose colored
bengaline became more beautiful than
many of the more expensive costumes.
There are many lovely shades of yellow
One of them called sunlight yellow, shades
towards blue in most curious way. This
blush yellow Is trying except in the even
ing when 1t is glorious for the blue, after
fashion of its own, shows green when the
light strikes it in a certain way.
I fancy the groundwork of a princess
dress was of sunlight yellow silk, plain and
rather tight on the hips but faring at the
foot. They say these skirts are made of
four breadths, sewed straight up and down
with a seam in the middle of the front; the
hips are sloped little to make it fit snug.
But of the dressmaking side 1 know little
save what Is vouchsafed now and then by
an obliging couturiere.
Over this sunlight yellow silk fell a
tunic of Point de Paris lace. The bodice
was draped with the same lace. But I'M
derneath the lace drapery of the bodice
was a beautiful folded bodice of finest
crepe de chine and around the foot of the
skirt was a flounce of the same.

that one must dwell on 1t. The yellow silk

The beautiful dancing dress is of palest
glace gauze. The overskirt is of two
widths of lilac satin, sewed on diagonally,
a narrow then wide piece of the lilac
satin. This is carefully fitted to a founda-
ton of silk. 1t is worn as an overskirt and
it fastens in the back. This is very pretty
and not very elaborate but it should be
worn only by a thin girl.
The front of this ribbon overskirt is ex-
actly similar to the back so that you can
get an idea how 1t looks.

gether during the troublous months OF
the four years of their cadet course, and
finally Joined tine same regiment as second
lieutenants-the Tenth United States cav

order to carry the comradeship to a dra-

Smith and Sllipp were shot and killed with

their dismounted black troopers up the

try is possible in the despised place"
The fudfiment of this hope came when he
fell, sword in hand, on the Hill of San
Juan.
In the same West Point class with CduelS
Ship and Smith was John W. Heard or

Third United States cavalry. On the way
to take part in the battles before santiago

TAMMANY FOR BRYAN
Southerners Resent the Chief
tain's Flop and Threaten a
ReprisaI Politicians
Dumfounded.

SARATOGA, Aug. 14.-August Van
Wyck's midsummer boom has been
punctured.
A few words from Richard Croker In
praise of w. j. Bryan did the trick.
Tammany men who will have been
here nursing the boom were quick to
see the point and have hastened into
print endorsing the changed views of
their charge.
Croker's flop, is q complete surprise
and much speculation rises as to what
caused him to change.
Tom Reed came over on the steamer
with Croker. His stand in opposition
to imperialism is we'll known and it
may be that his arguments had some
thing to do with Croker's change of
base on that question.
But the flop to Bryan is inexplicible.
His reasons for the change will de-
velop, however, in good time.
The tammany chiefs praise of Bryan
fell with q dull thud on the ears of the
southerners who have been booming
Van Wyck. They openly resent his
desertion and threaten q reprisal in
the shape of q declaration against any
thing and everything he desires.
Ex-senator Morgan and Judge Van
Wyck refused to discuss Croker's de-
claratiOns.
