An interesting departure in our OK
port trade promises to be the sale of
automobile vehicles. The announce
ment is made that a company has
been formed in Paris expressly for the
sale of these carriages of American
manufacture, and that large orders
have been placed in several American
cities. No matter how novel the arti-
Gle may be, American skill and inge-
nuity are ready to supply it to any
applicant and to any market cheaper
and better than it can be produced
anywhere else in the world

one oI Une IaUesJ examples OF the
ability of the United States to sue
cessfully display its practical indie
pendence of the rest of the world is
furnished by the course of prices in
the iron and steel industry, says
Bradstreet's. In most European coun-
tries the tendency of the iron and
steel market has been upward for
some years past, active demand fur
nishing satisfactory reasons for this
price development. In this country,
however, the contrary has been the
case, and the tendency has been toward
the lowering Of the price of both the
crude and manufactured product. At
tention has been called to this feature
by some foreign iron-trade papers,
which contrast the upward movement
in prices which has occurred abroad
with the even more pronounced down
ward movement occurring in iron and
steel products in the United States.
In the case of Germany advances have
been particularly marked in pig iron,
but it is to be remarked also that
the price of iron and steel in other
countries, not excepting Great Britain,
have all been toward higher plane.
In this country the contrary has been
the case, and on total volume of
business, unprecedented in size, values
have shown little improvement over
one or two years ago

The wonderful growth of the tele-
graph business can best be shown by
quoting some figures. Thirty years
ago there were only 5000 telegraph
offices and little more than rs, 900
miles Of wire strung throughout the
length and breadth of the land. At
the present time there are about 26, :
900 Offices and over 1, 100000 miles of
wire. The annual number of mes
sages handled thirty years ago was
5,879, 2S2; today it is $4,000, 900.
The average cost to the sender thirty
years ago was 81 04.7; the average
cost today is 30.9 cents. At the start
the cost to the company was more than
twice what it is today to the sender.

Who shall say to what extent the

newspaper scolding if you will, yet
who can maintain that it does no
good? Thousands of people would
never follow the straight aud narrow

Trade relations with the United

of this island will be with this coun-

The steel grey broadcloth, May Man
ton design shown in the large engrav-
ing, is stylishly made up with an ap-
piled vest portion of black gulpure
over white satin, the closing in centre
front being accomplished with small
round crystal buttons.
Guipure lace employed in this way
over some bright color or white, is q
feature of the incoming styles that is
decidedly becoming to women of full
proportions, Other basques in this
style have the vest covered with braid
ing in scroll or vervicilli design, or
brocaded satin andssilk are sometimes
used as simpler and less expensive
method than either of the afore-m
toned.
This basque while generally becom-
ing is especially designed to meet the
requirements Of stout women, the
graceful pointed outline, the narrow
vest and pointed revers that roll back
from the fronts giving the best pos
sible lines to counteract the tendency
to embonpoint.
Inc two scanned sleeves are ar
ranged over close-ftted Innings, the
moderate fulness now allowed by
fashion being disposed in gathers at
the upper edge.
A standing collar finishes the vest
while the rolling collar meets the

machine stitching is given to the

gained when he was in the New Jersey
legislature, first as member of the lower
house, then as speaker and later as senator.
When he took up the gavel as presiding
Office of the senate he knew just what to do
and exactly how to do it. He had both
himself and the senate well in hand on the
first day of the extra session that marked
the beginning Of the present administration
and was early seen to be a chairman OF
strength and decision. Since that first ses-
sion his reputation along these lines has
grown steadily, and more than once his
sincerest admirers even have been sur
prised and delighted by his clear percep-
ton of the philosophy of parliamentary
law and his minute knowledge OF senate
| procedure.
Strangely enough. too, some of the Oldest
and best known OF the senators arc least
posted in the technicalities of Legislative
business. They know how to present their
ideas succinctly, often eloquently, and they
are masters of the art OF pleasing tue
commonwealth they represent, else they
could not serve term after term, but they
do not understand the ms and outs OF the
senate rules and are often bothered with
the how and the wherefore. These senators
find the vice presidents unfailing technical
knowledge, which Is frequently at their dis
posal, Of great value.

is held to be next to the president in real
potential Importance. There is no reason
why the presiding officer of the senate should
not be a power to be reckoned with, If he
so wills it. 1t has been as the senate's
official head that Mr.. Hobart has most sur
prised the capital city.
He had long been prominent in the public
affairs Of New Jersey, his native state, when
advanced to his present high position, and
for years had been an influential member
Of his party's national executive committee.
He had never been a figure in official Wash
ington, however, nor had he ever served in
Washington, as had nearly every one of his
predecessors, and no one looked for any
stronger work from him in the vice presi-
dents chair than had been shown by them.
But Garrett A. Hobart resolved, when little
more than a boy, to do whatever he had
to do as we'll as he could and as rapidly as
possible and to make every move count to
the fullest extent. He therefore took up his
duties in the senate chamber in his own
virile, efficient way.
First of all, some time before March 4,
1897, he addressed himself seriously to the
study of the history, the traditions and the
rules of the senate. He already possessed an
intimate knowledge of parliamentary law,

Close Friends.
But Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Hobart are
more than merely on good terms; they are
at all unusual tor Mr.. Mckinley to drop in
at the famous Cameron mansion Oh Lafayette
Place, which the Hobarts have chosen for
their home, once or twice a week., between
whites, so to speak, for a smoke and a half
hour of neighborly talk and relaxation.
Neither is it exceptional for the tail figure
OF the vice president to be seen entering the
door of the White House, and the confer
euces between the nations chief executive
and his next man are by no means devoted
solely to sociabifity.
AS many readers no doubt remember,
Great Britain's representative has hereto
fore taken precedence over every one save
the president at all social and state func-
tons in Washington. Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, now British ambassador, supposed that
there would be no change when the present
administration came in, but in this he was
mistaken. In behalf of his office and himself
Mr.. Hobart assumed precedence OF all save
his chief, and the president supported the
vice presidents position, Sir Julian is a
gentleman and eventually he accepted the
situation. though not without some detailed
consultation with the home office, which he
deemed might be more vitality interested In
the question OF social precedence at the re-
publican court OF the west than any indi-
yidual could be. His theory was undoubt-
Omaha daily bee., 1899-04-30

figurehead and nothing more, and he deter
mined, when elected, to proceed upon that
line. His course was a surprise to Wash
ing from the day of his inauguration. The
vice presidency had long been considered a
sinecure in the capital city, no matter who
the incumbent, and no one could under
stand how it could be made anything else.
Since then all Washington has learned
that the vice president is a force to be
reckoned with in many ways. All Wash
ington likes the change, and it is hardly
probable that the vice presidency, after Ho-
bart, will ever drop back to its old level
of relative insignifcance. 1t is only right
to say that the present Importance Of the
vice presidency Is in some degree due to
the agreement Of the president with Mr..
Hobart's ideas.
The relations between Mr.. Mckinley and
Mr.. Hobart are more as such relations were
planned by the founders of the republic
than they have been since Lincoln's first
term. There was little sympathy between
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Stevenson; Mr.. Har-
rison and Mr.. Morton rarely saw each
other; a decided frost sprang up during Mr..
Garfeld's brief actual service whenever he
and General Arthur approached, and frigid
relations between the president and vice
