ANGLO AMERICAN COMMERCE
SUBJECT OF INQUIRY IN HOUSE OF
COMMONS.
Sir Charles Howard, Speaking of Enor-
nous Increase of Exports from United
States, Declares British Exports DO mol
Show Such VttaIity-Reply That Trade
is Satisfactory in United Kingdom.

London, March 24.--In the house OF
commons to-day Sir Charles Howard
Vincent, conservative, asked whether,
in view of the enormous increase of eX-
ports from the United States, while the
exports of the United Kingdom do not
show such vitality, the government is
prepared to issue a royal commission
or appoint a select committee to inquire
into the causes of such a condition. The
president of the board OF trade, Z. Il.
Ritchie, replied that the facts and fig-
ures set forth were substantially cor
of things, he added were generally we'll
known and there was no necessity for
a special inquiry into the matter es-
pecially as there was no reason to regard
the condition of trade and industry In
Great Britain as other than satisfac-
tory.
The Saturday Review, published this
evening. acrimonously discusses the
future relations between the United
States and Great Britain in long ar
tlcle entitled "The Rivals" After point
ing out that Nothing material has yet
been the outcome of the passing wave
Of sentimentalism," it proceeds
to blame the American trusts for the
failure of the British can-Cana-
dian commission, saying: ''Those trusts
may be expected to menace trade su-
premacy with the same unscrupulous
rivalry in the far east as is now shown
in Canada and ultimately everywhere
in the world And, as the trusts con-
troll American politics, such immediate
advantages as England must gain from
an alliance would be largely overshad-
owed by the dangers into which the
trusts are likely to force America by in
sisting upon an indefinite policy of ex-
pansion" The article concludes by ad-
vising England to pursue her own way,
treating America with the same cour-
tesy which she extends to continental
nations, no less and no more.

M,COY-CHOYNSKI FIGHT.
Decision Given to Mccoy In Twentieth
Round-An Ensy Time.

San Francisco, March 24.-With a SUI
periority in cleverness, quickness and
ring generalship, which was apparent
from the first round, kid" Mccoy was
very properly awarded the decision over
Joe Choynski at the end Of the twen-
tieth round before the National Athlet-
ic club in Mechanics Pavilion tonight.
1t was a very pretty fight but 1t was
almost entirely in favor Of the younger
man. Mccoy won and won easily. He
had the fight in his hands and at any
one of half a dozen palpable opportu
mites he could have administered a de-
cisive and knockout blow. But again
and again he failed to follow UP his ad-
vantage, and Choynski was considered
lucky to be able to stay the twenty
rounds.
Mccoy was the aggressor in his own
fashion, drawing Choynski out, except
in the second round, when Joe landed
thrice in succession, but not very effec-
lively, and again in the eleventh, when
the Kid was plainly resting and simply
out of reach. In the fifth round Joe was
apparently going under the furious rain
of merciess blows, but Joe was saved
by the gong. After the brief respite he
rallied and fought his uphill battle; but
he did not seem to like the game. Nc
Coy's stomach blows, particularly, were
little to his liking and he WINGED pitt
fully under the frequent punishment
,,,b;ol, ba received On the other hand
Joe could not reach the Kid effectively,
and he was entirely too clever for him
in getting away. When Joe did land 1T
was frequently upon McCoy's small,
hard head, and the blows did more
damage to Joes hands than to the OBJ
iective point.

ent Wrinn of the police department,
President Norris of the board of alder
men, Assistant City Attorney Webb,
President Anderson of the board of
councilmen, Alderman Unger and Alder
man Ryan. Mr.. Carroll stated to the
committee that from what he had heard

stolen articles
Superintendent Wrinn explained the
matter, and Assistant City Attorney
Webb related the details of the COM
plant against Miller, the working up of
the case by the detectives, and the
turning over of one of the stolen watch
es to Rev. Mr. Harrison who returned
it to the person from whom Miller had
stolen it. The committee after consid-
ering the evidence received decided to
report to the common council that in
the opinion of the committee that stolen
had been turned over TO Miller in the
customary and proper way after he had
secured bail.

bodies were recovered from the RUNS
of the Windsor hotel to-day The rec
ord as it now stands is twenty-three
dead, forty or more missing and large
collection of small bones. The injured
in the hospitals and other places are
recovering. Anxiety on the part OF
friends of persons who have been re-
ported missing has increased to GER
tainty almost that they perlshed IN the
fire. From the condition of the booles
so far recovered there is but little nope
that they or any of the bodies that may
be found hereafter can be 1dentlhed.
The work of removing the debris Is
proceeding so slowly that residents ana
merchants in the district within the fire
lines, extending a block in either di-
rection from the scene of the fire, are
making complaint. Business is block
AIDED in the district. President Murphy
of the health board to-day wrote to the
contractor ordering him peremptorlly
to hasten the work Of removal.
Among the articles found tonight
were a lady's gold watch marked u.
w." a metal top of purse marked
IN. P. j." and some wearing apparel
marked III. H. s." At o'clock to-
night the fire lines on Fifth avenue
were removed and pedestrians were al
lowed to pass the ruins on the opposite
sidewalk. No one was allowed to stop.
Hundreds availed themselves of the op
portunity for the first time extended to
them of getting a near view of the
ruins. Simeon Leland said tonight
that nothing had been heard of any of
the missing. w. e. D. Stokes called at
the East 51st street station tonight
and claimed a diamond and pearl
bracelet which he lost in the fire. Mr..
Stokes was in the baths in the house
adjoining the hotel in 46th street, when
the fire broke out. The bracelet was
said to be worth $4,000.

BANDITS NE4R SANTI4Go.
Considerable Trouble From Them at
Snn Luis Leader Captured.

Santiago de Cuba March 24.-There
has been considerable trouble from ban
dts during the last few days in the
vicinity of San Luis. When 1t was first
reported General Wood, the military
governor, sent mounted troops, as well
as the entire force of gendarmerie, into
the district with instructions to capture
the bandits if possible. They met with
no success, but finally Lieutenant Han
ma, General Woods aide, went 10 SAN
Luis to make personal lnvestlsatlon'
with the result that within twenty-tour
hours the ringleader Francisco Dleguez.
and five Others were captured ana later
two more taken and one killed While
resisting arrest. All are now closely
guarded in the military prison here, the
iail not being considered safe owing TO
the friendship felt for the prisoners py
several prominent insurgent olncers re-
siding in Santiago.
Colonel Valiente, chief OF General
Woods gendarmie, has resigned MS po-
sition. Three days ago he left FOR san
Luis to try to locate the bandits. Three
men accompanied him. After they had
proceeded a short distance Colonel Va
liente ordered the men to return, say
ing: "If we should be attacked by pan
dts we would have to fight, but II
were alone / could talk with them ana
get away safely" Finally, as the story
goes. the bandits captured him, held
court-martial and sentenced MIN TO
death. but finally relented and released
him. This tale is generally believed
Colonel Valiente's resignation seems TO
give it color. He is either out OF 'he
city or In hiding. The new chlel ol
gendarmerie Is Colonel Juan Wan, me
gendarmerie in the San LUIS dlstrlct
are now under the orders OF Lieutenant
R,,tts who is In command of mount

Havana, March 24.-United States
Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith, who arrived here last Saturday
to take a special look at the work of the
department of posts under the manage
ment Of Colonel Rathbone, before sail
ing for the United States to-day said
to a correspondent Of the Associated
Press regarding the results of his trip:
NV direct and immediate purpose in
coming here was to examine into the
postal service of the island, as 1T has
been inherited and reorganized and to
see what it's requirements are, But or
course, my eyes and ears have been
open and have been very much inter-
ested in my observations and maze my
conferences of a very general character.
I am gratified and even surprised TO hnd
how much has already been done here
by the American representatives.
1 did not see what Havana was under
the former rule. but l have had an op-
portunity at some points, Of specially
noting the contrast with present conol-
tion, and I assure you that 1t IS Oh the
most signal character. l nave seen
houses ripped up and laid open, as they
were. and l have seen houses Oh the
same kind next door, where renovation
and reconstruction had been wrought.
The difference is that between medel-
valism and high modern civilization.
The change of sanitary conditions Is
enormous. No one can begin to appre-
ciate without personal observation what
has been accomplished here by Amerl-
can intervention In the saving OF lie
and the improving of health conditions.
The DEVELOPMENT Of the island anu
even a general feeling of security are
retarded by uncertainty as 10 the ~
ture. There is a lack of understanding
in many quarters that the United states
authorities will remain long enough 10
establish and insure a stable govern
ment. This uncertainty generates
distrust and hesitation in enterprise
and general business rehabilitation. The
impres sion needs to be diffused IN CUBA
that the United States, having expelled
the old government, will accept the
duty and responsibility of leading the
way to the creation of new govern
ment of such character as will COM
mand universal confidence and support,
because fully capable of assuring per-
feet peace and order and the full ad-
ministration of law and Justice and
that the United States will remain long
enough, whatever time may be neces-
sary to see that this is effectively done.

Boston, March 24.-Felix P. Garfield,
seventy years of age, was arrested TO-
day for causing the death of his wife
Grace, who was thirty-one years his
Junior, by shooting. The only witness
of the affair was a daughter, Ellie aged
fifteen. When Garfield was taken into
custody he acted in a peculiar manner,
refusing to talk about the affair In any
way. The police state that Garfield has
appeared to be slightly deranged at
times of late. Garfield is a machinst
and gunsmith by trade and something
of an inventor.

Printing Wicked and Unfounded Ac-
cusati0ns - -Blames the District Attor..
ney for the Attacks Subsequent to His
Cruel Slander Before COroner's Jury.
New York, March 24.-Mrs. Blanche
c. Molineux, wife of the man who Is
under indictment for the murder of Mrs.
Catherine Adams, tonight sent out the
following written statement: "Since
the terrible tragedy eliminating in the
death of Mrs. Adams and throughout
the inexpressibly painful scenes that
have followed, have felt 1t to be my
duty to bear in silence the cruel attacks
that have been made upon me in the
newspapers have made no answer to
these attacks, nor have I made any
effort to set myself right before the
world, under the advice Of the counsel
for my husband, who has been subject
ed to an unfounded and infamouse
charge, and whose interests are, OF
course, next to my heart.
But the statements in the news
papers of to-day, charging me by i'm
plication with having visited a hotel In
Jersey City with Mr.. Barnet, are So
grossly and atrociously false, that feel,
in justice to myself, my husband and
my friends, that I must make some
statement. I may say in beginning that
the cruel slander uttered by the dis
trict attorney in his address to the corr
oners jury, is, believe, largely respon-
sble for the subsequent attacks upon
me. His official position gave his state
ments weight that they did not de-
serve. The public has been slow to be-
lieve that a sworn public officer, could
without a shadow of proof, villify and
slander the reputation Of woman. But
this was done by the district attorney
and have suffered in consequence.
ION the occasion to which the dis
trict attorney referred in making his
slanderous accusations against me,
was on a yachting trip chaperoned by
my married sister, ana the testimony
before the coroner failed to show a sim
gle instance of impropriety or indiscre-
tion on my part, as indeed there was
no such instance. During the lifetime
of my parents lived with them, as q
testified before the coroner, and all my
other places of residence were testified
to by me- Much Of the time I lived
with my married sisters, and always
visited them and was visited by them.
There has never been any mystery
about my life or movements. nor has
there been anything in my life differ
ent from that of any other self-respect-
ing woman.
my acquaintance with Mr.. Barnet
was through the introduction Of Mr..
Molineux, and my associations with
him were merely those OF friendship
was never in Jersey City in my life, ex-
cept in passing through to take a train.
At the time stated in the newspapers
when Mr.. Barnet first visited the hO-
tel May, 1897, 7 had never met him.
This slander is as baseless as the many
others which have been published con-
cerning me. In simple Justice to my
self, my family and my friends I ask
the public press to refrain from print-
ing such wicked accusations, which
the slightest investigation would show
to be unfounded
