Foreign trade has picturesque fea-
lures which greatly relieve its coldly
commercial aspects. For example, in
sending to Zanzibar a hundred thou
sand dollars worth of kerosene oil last
year the United States was doubtless
trying to light up the dark continent.
American locomotives are going to At
RIGA in such numbers that the conti-
nent cannot much longer be called
slow. Ivory, an ancient source of AZ
ricas wealth, is becoming so scarce
that earnest efforts are now making
to preserve the herds of elephants
from wanton slaughter. What wonders
modern commerce works!

SwindIers Arrested.

Council Bluffs, Oct. 24.-Thomas L.
Senter, living six miles north of Mem.
phis, Mo-, was brought here in Gus
tody of Sheriff Davis of Scotland
county, Missouri, and Deputy Sheriff
Baker of this city, to answer to a
charge of obtaining $645 from the
real estate firm of Lougee q Lougee,
on October IA, 1898, on fraudulent
land mortgage. His alleged partner,
p. c. Bonner, is under arrest at Fair
field, Iowa. The two are alleged to
have successfully operated in this
state for the last two years, victim
on bogus land deals. When he turned
the trick here, Senter gave the name
of James l.. Palmer, and he also is
said to be known to the Pinkertons,
who worked up the case, as George
n. Conway. Senter was indicted by
the grand jury here in November,
1895, but it was not until last week
that he was run down near Memphis
where he had resided on a farm for
the last seven years. Senter has been
positively identified by both members
of the firm of Lougee q LOugee as
the man who victimiZed them. 1t is
alleged that he and his partner forg-
ed the name of Theodore Cowitz of
Oklahoma to a deed to 100 acres in
this county, on which they borrowed
$645 from Lougee d LOugee. The
man under arrest at Fairfield has
been identified as John n. Edwards
who left Memphis twenty-three years

The growth of population about the
Great Lakes will be one of the impor-
tant revelations of the present census
Six Lake cities, Buffalo, Cleveland, To-
ledo, Detroit, Milwaukee and Chicago,
have added more than million people
since 1890, an increase of nearly fifty
per cent. The increase is directly re-
lated to the growth of commerce Of
the Great Lakes, which has doubled in
the last five years. The tonnage ca
pacity of vessels passing through the
canal at Sault Sainte Marie is now half
as large again as that of all the YES
sells which enter and leave the port Of
New York, aid two and half times as
great as the tonnage which passes
through the Suez Canal. The Great
Lakes certainly cannot be called "a
waste of waters" They are teeming
with life and usefulness.

CONGER PREFERS CHARGES.
Accuses Captain N. T.. Hall of Marines
of COwardice

Washington, Oct. 29.-Minister Con-
ger has preferred charges of coward
ice against Capt. Newt T. Hall, Uni
ted States M. c., the second in COM
mand of the marine force at Peking
during the siege. The details are
closely guarded, the regulations of
the war and lazy department strict
ly forbidding publicity at this stage.
1t is gathered, however, that Mr.. Con-
ger questioned Mr. Halls courage be-
cause of the latter's declinatiOn to
carry out certain military operations
suggested by the minister. General
Chaffee examined the charges, ma lie
an inquiry on his own account, aid
sent the papers to Washington, with
n recommendation that no further
proceedings be had.
The navy department, however, Gc-
cided that the high morale of the ma
rine corps required the most formal

officer from such a charge. Consc-
quently the rapers were referred to

DUN SULTAN TWICE A MONTH.
United States to make Persistent Effor,
to Collect Bad Debt.

Washington, Oct. 29.-While Uncle
Sam is doing everything in his power
so collect from Turkey his bill fer
damages done to the property of the
american missionaries, no move has
yet been made to send feet of war
ships to ConstantinOple to collect
these claims at the muzzle of the
gums of the navy. Furthermore it is
not believed that such vigorous meas
ures will be necessary, but that the
Gultan can be prevailed upon to pay
by more pacific means.
The revenues of the Turkish GOV
eminent are already parceIed out in
such way that the sultan himself
has little to do with handling them,
and some of the custom houses of
turkey are in the hands of represent
tatives of European governments.
For these reasons it would compli-
cate matters greatly if feet of Uni
ted States warshipS should stop at
Constantinopie and demand settle
ment.
Consequently Charge d'Affarircs
Griscom at Constantinople has been
instructed to treat the sultan and his
government in the light of bal
debtor and he has been directed to
call upon the government officials on
the first and fifteenth of each month
and present the claim.
This course will be pursued until
the sultan grows tired of being i'm
portuneT and pays the claim and
gets rid of his persistent creditor.
