The earnings of foreign capital invested
in the United States have recently been

expenditures abroad by American citizens
al $4,000 900 per annum. If to this be
added $20OO0.OO0 per annum for liquidation
Of the principal of our foreign indebted

would account for the entire excess of ex-

While all of the calculations entered
upon for the purpose of adjusting the
grand international balance sheet are
necessarily estimates, they are the con
sensus of views of those whose ripe eX
perience gives value and accuracy to their
judgment in these matters.
one interesting fact shown by the table
covering the imports and exports by years
since 1883 whether of merchandise or Or
merchandise and specie combined, is that
prior to 1876 the imports almost constant
ly exceeded the outflow of exports, while
since that time the outflow has almost
constantly exceeded the inflow. This is
probably accounted for by the fact that
in the earlier years money was borrowed
abroad for use in construction of railroads.
development of farms and establishment
Of factories and that in the latter years
the excess of exports has been devoted 20
payment of interest and a part of the
principal. as well as the larger expendi-
lures of our citizens abroad. The excess
of imports of merchandise and specie prior
10 1876 was 81 ,OSi,3 39, 9l2. and the excess OF
exports since that date $3,5l7 054,671
Two important facts seem to be sug-
gested by a study of this balance sheet
of our international trade: First, that our
people are rapidly liquidating their foreign
Indebtedness; second, that for the sake of
accrucy in our accounts of foreign COM
merce, all statements of values of i'm
ports and exports should be made with ref
erence to a common point, viz, the door
through which they enter and leave the
country.
In the above attempt to balance the ac-
counts of our international trade the
sums estimated annually expended for
freights on imports are included in the ad-
dtions made to the stated valuation OF
imported merchandise, while those on ex-
ports do not affect the statements OF
value at point of expectation

MIsrRIAL FoR MRS. HUGHES.
Killed Her Husband in "A Quarrel
in GreenviIIe County.

Killed Her HUSBAND IN IA &haEreA
in GreenvilIe County.
Columbia, S c., March pa mistrlas
was ordered this morning in the case of
pretty Mrs. Matte Hughes for killing her
husband. She took the news philosophically
remarking:
'Wen, a mlstrial is better than con-
viction."
This case has excited unusual interest
on account of a clever woman being charg-
ed with the murder of her husband. Last
winter Hughes who was a prominent
merchant of Greenville county, and his
wife had several quarrels, each charging
the other with intdeity The feeling be-
tween item ran so high that in an open
quarrel between them Mrs. Hughes shot
her husband. He died twenty-four hours
afterwards, making a statement that his
wife killed him without cause.
The woman's defense was that she
threatened Hughes with pistol. He grabb-
ed her arm in such way as to cause the
pistol to discharge with fatal results to
himself.
The second trial will come off during the
summer.

AN ABORTIVE CONFERENCE.

Nothing came of the conference be-
tween General Otis and the commits
sioners sent by Aguinaldo, the latter
not being empowered TO negotiate, but
being simply bearers of II communica-
tion from the Filipino leader asking
for an armistice until the so-called con-
gress could decide what policy should
be adopted. OF course this was refused
as Aguinaldo probably expected it
would be, if he has the intelligence he
is credited with. The Filipino ENJOYS
will tomorrow have a conference with
the American commissioners, it is to
be presumed simply to learn directly
from them what this government pro-
poses, since they can hardly have any
expectation of inducing General Otis
to change the position he has three
times declared and which has been
fully approved at Washington.
The situation is therefore I'M
changed and that fact is distinctly
disappointing. There appeared good
reason to believe that in sending an
other commission to Manila Aguinaldo
save the remnant of his army from
determination. There is no doubt that
his forces are demoralized. The Fill
pino soldiers no longer exhibit the
courage they showed in the earlier
stage of the conflict They offer hardly
any resistance to the American ad-
vance and such as they do make is
less effective than formerly. There is
reason to believe that most of them
would welcome peace, as doubtless a
very large majority of the natives who
are not in the army would Under
these circumstances it was reasonably
expected that the leaders had con
cluded to end a conflict which they
should see is hopeless.
Meanwhile the campaign Is being
pushed as vigorously as possible and
it is needless to say that this will con-
tinue to be the policy.

pRospERiTY NOT 4 SHAM

During the campaign Of 1896 the most
active fuglomen Of the advance agent OF
prosperity" we're the commercial travellers.
Not all OF them by any means advocated
the election OF Mckinley, but most Of them
shouted for the Canton statesman and talked
about the prosperity that would surely come
to all classes and conditions OF men In case
Mckinley was elected and confidence re-
stored. You do not see so many
radical Mckinley travelling men these days.
This Is due in large measure to the fact
that you do not see so many travelling men.
The great revival OF prosperity that was to
benefit all classes balked at several points,
and among other points was the place
occupied by the travelling men.-Worlc-
Herald.
There are none so blind as those who
will not see. He must be blind indeed
who is unwilling to acknowledge that
the country is more prosperous today
than 1t was just previous to McKnley's
election. TO contend that the condition of
the masses has not been bettered since
the election of Mckinley is simply clos
ing the eyes and ears to absolute
irrefutable facts.
The proof of the pudding is in the
eating and the men who are trying to
decry prosperity have simply to look
into their own business concerns for the
contradiction of their statements, un-
less, indeed, they are business msfits
and wreckers who do not know how to
conduct their own business.
Taking it for granted that Omaha is
as good place as any to apply the test,
The Bee has put the question to leading
jobbers in various lines of trade as to
what is the relative number of travelling
statesmen employed by them in June,
1896, and at the present time. The
answers compiled in the following table
