Subordinate snubbed the Government
New York, July 22.-General Daniel
Butterfeld, chairman Of the executive
committee for the Dewey celebration,
admitted today that mistake had
been made by subordinate of the
committee in sending out invitations
to foreign powers asking for one or
more warships at New York on the re-
turn of Admiral Dewey, instead Of
sending them through the navy depart
ment in Washington. The mistake
caused some embarrassment, but has
been rectified.

DYNAMITERS IN CLEVELAND.
Dastardly Attempt to Blow Up Car
on Euclid Avenue.

Dastardly Attempt TO Blow Up Car
on Euclid Avenue.
Cleveland, July 22.-An attempt was
made to blow up streetcar with dyna-
mite at $50 o'clock last evening. The
car was on Euclid avenue, returning
to the Lakeview barns, when a terrific
explosion occurred under the wheels
at Anddale avenue, opposite the resi-
dence of Henry A. Everett, president
of the Big Consolidated Street Rail-
road company. The car was nearly
jolted from the track, but was not
stopped. The half dozen passengers
on board we're badly frightened, but
no one was injured. No harm was sus-
tanned by the car, and it proceeded on
its journey. There is no clew to the
perpetrators.
About the same time, on Pearl
street, on the southside, three nom
union street railway men who had left
the Holmden avenue barns to purchase
tobacco were pursued by a bowling
mob. One Of the fugitives fired re-
volver, but hit no one, and the bullet
passed through large plate glass win
dow across the street. The streetcar
men sought refuge in store, and at
this time the police arrived and charg-
ed into the crowd, scattering it quick
ly In the confusion number of wo-
men who were in the crowd were
thrown down and little girl was
struck by policemans club and Sc
verely bruised.

{ :. I'VE have nn& rexshed the end Of
the fiscal year Of the United States,
and the official returns enable us to
make comparison between the
two most remarkable years in the
foreign trade of the country. Taken
as a whole. the trade Of last year
exceeded that Of the year preceding
the total Of imports and exports
combined being 81, 924, 900, 900 for
1889 and 81, 847, 900. 900 for 1878,
showing an increase Of ~, 900, 600.
The increase, however. has been
entirely upon the imports which ex-
hibit gain Of s8l, 600, 900, while the
exports have declined 1900, 900.
The increase in the imports deserves
attention. About three .fourths of
that gain has arisen during the
second half of the year; which
shows that 1t has been almost en-
tirely the consequence of the great
revival Of business which set IN
with the opening Of 1899. This ex-
pansion in the imports, however,
can hardly be regarded as an midi
cation Of atendency to over-trading.
whether comparisons be made with
the importations of previous years,
or with the volume Of the exports.
Last years imports fell $82, 700, 900
below those of 1856, --$67, 700, 600
below those of 1897-7,-and $34, $780,
600 below those of 1894. )"

now commenced to put out sixty day

very favorable factor, as the fire.

AN APPEAL TO TIE COURTS NEXT

Mayor Van wyck Inspructs DISTRICT
Attorneys to Prosecute violators OF
the Ten Hour Law-An Attempt to
Blow Up Car In Cleveland.
Nav York, July 22.--In the boroughs
Of Manhattan and Brooklyn yesterday
the strike situation, generally speak
ing, remained unchanged. On Manhat-
tan Island cars on all the lines of the
Metropolitan system were run on prac-
tically the usual Roadway, and at night
the cars on Second, Sixth and Eighth
avenues were under police protection,
although the claim Ia made by the
company that there ia no longer any
nscessity even for this. Policemen stiil
guard the depots Of the several lines.
II IL expected that they Will bs sent
back to the stations today or t6mor-
row. and II this 10 done little trouble
will be anticipated with the strikers in
the future.
The events of greatest interest dur
Ing the day were the arrest OF Presi-
dent Rossiter, of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company, on warrant issued
by Magistrate Bremen, charging him
with criminal libel, Albert L. Johnson,
former president of the Nassau rail-
road, being the complainant, and the
notification Of the different district at
torneys within the limits of greater
New York that the ten hour law was
enforcible, and asking them to COM
munlcate with Secretary John P. DON
nelly, of the building trade section OF
the Central Trade union, and submit
complaints to grand jury or magis-
trate.
The arrest of President Rossiter, al
though interesting, will not, 1t is
thought, have any marked effect ON the
strike. Ex-President Johnson objects
to statements made by President Ros-
sitter to Brooklyn reporters In a recent
interview. In the interview Mr.. Ros-
sitter Is quoted as saying, after refer
ring to the strikers charged with blow
ing up the Fifth avenue elevated
structure with dynamite:
Those are not my men. Mr.. Albert
L. johnson is welcome to them. Mr..
Albert johnson is the leader of them.
am told that there is evidence against
prison for 20 years."
The letters written by Mayor Van
Wyck to each of the district attorneys
of the four counties included within
the city regarding the enforcement of
the ten hour law, 1t ID thought, may re-
suit in transference of the streetcar
trouble of greater New York to the
courts. After requesting the different
district attorneys to bring the subject
of the alleged enforcement Of the ten
hour law to the grand jury or magis-
trates having Jurisdiction, the mayor
wrote to Secretary Donnelly informing
him that violations Of the labor laws
should be brought to the attention of
the district attorney In the county
where the offense is committed and
notifying him Of the instructions sent
to those officials.
The strikers held various meetings
last night in the different boroughs.
The Brooklyn strike leaders still seem
to be of the opinion that the men have
a chance for victory.

; THE Evening Journal says "We
have another deadlock in City Coun-
Gil, and, unfortunately, four Demo-
cratic members are responsible for
it. Once more the rules of caucus
have been ignored with the old re-
suit, and the Democratic party
must be the sufferer. We cannot
say that the public interests will
suffer, because we do not believe
that they will. At present the var
ious positions figuring in the coun-
cilmanlc controversy are well Off
cered, and the public work will 60

manner if the deadlock should con-
tinue for year. No fair-minded
man will deny this.

restore themselves to the good opin-
ion of those who do not look upon
