Our Trade Expansion.

A series of special articles recently
appearing in the London Times, ad-
dressed to the British manufacturers,
calls attention to the increasing exports
of American products, especially to
Great Britain and her colonies. The
Times considers the matter one Of
grave Importance, and itsis not in En-
gland only that our increasing export
trade causes comment. Continental pa
pers have treated the matter with in
terest and alarm. A recent shipment
of manufactured goods to Australia, the
largest ever sent to that part of the
world from the United States, indi-
Gated the kind of articles that consti-
tute these increased exports. The cargo
consisted of sewing machines, musical
instruments, vehicles, typewriters, troll
lev appliances and shoes. Another large
shipment recently made was seventeen
carloads of cotton goods from an Ala
bama mill to China. Europe evidently
doesn't like our expansion.

THE RUSH TO CAPE NOME.
Nothing Like Tt Has Been Seen in the
Past Half Century.

Past Half Century.
The greatest rush to new gold field
for half century is now in progress.
Cape Nome is the destination Of the
crowd. The rush to the Klondike was
the largest to any gold mining country
since the excitement in California, but
statistics show that fewer than $4,000
went to the Klondike and the Yukon riv-
err country during 1898, and there was g.
200 more in 1899. 1t is estimated that
10000 or $1,000 people are preparing to
start for Cape Nome.
The season Of navigation in the Arc
tic has just opened, and already 500
men and women have sailed from Seattle,
Vancouver and San Francisco for Cape
Nome. Passage to Cape Nome has been
provided for about 1000 more who will
sail this month. Capt Hanchett, who
has long been in the Alaska steamship
business, thinks that almost 10000 men
and women will have gone to the Alaska
mining fields when the season Of naviga-
ton closes next October.
\ The rush to Cape Nome involves the
transportation of an enormous quantity
of mining machinery, portable houses,
tents, beasts of burden, stocks of mer-
chandise and articles of household use.
One steamer started from San Francisco
last week for Cape Nome with hydraulic
machinery aboard to the value of $780,
600, and another steamer similarly laden
left Seattle two days later. For months
the iron founders and mining machinery
builders of the Pacific coast have been at
work on new devices to meet the de-
mands Of gold mining on the sandy sea
beach and among the gravel beds of the
creeks Of Cape Nome, for, in some re-
spects, the mining conditions in the new
Alaskan field have revolutionized placer
mining methods. A race is now on
among several freight steamers to see
which will reach Cape Nome soonest and
thereby make the profit there will be in
disposing of newly invented machinery
for washing the golden specks from sand
and gravel. Several machine companies
have each put tens of thousands of dol
lars in gold rockers and mammoth sluices
for use in the Cape Nome placers. A
half-dozen schooners cleared from Seattle
and Vancouver a week ago, laden with
coal and lumber for use in the new min
ing field, where there has been a very Sc
rious fuel famine all winter. A company
Of Denver and Ell Paso capitalists have
invested $4,000 in barges and steam
tugs for carrying freight from the ocean
steamers to the land at Nome,

lieves in the "Open Door,"

One of the largest assemblages of cot
ton mill representatives ever held in
the United States convened recently at
Charlotte, n. c., the occasion being the
fourth annual session of the Southern
Cotton Spinners' Association. Five
hundred mill men were in attendance,

PRESIDENT j. III. McAden called the
convention to order. After congratu-

upon the large attendance at the con-

PORTO RICANs PLEASED,

British Consul There About the Only
Man Who Wants Free Trade.
A private letter received from an
American in Porto Rica indicates that
talk of the hardships predicted to fall
upon the Porto Ricans following the
enactment of the tariff and civil gov
eminent laws for the island is moon
shine. In his letter he says:
The people here, irrespective of
caste or condition, hail the passage of
the Foraker bill with the greatest de-
light, and are now beginning to prepare
for revival of business and good
times. There seems to have been a
very grave misrepresentation of facts
made in the United States concerning
the wants Of the natives and business
men Of this island in so far as it re-
lates to the tariff 1t is a mistaken
idea that free trade is wanted here. On
the contrary the merchants (99 out of
every hundred want small tariff in
preference, and in fact did not at any
time object to the % per cent. first
talked of. They are bright enough to
prefer a small indirect tax to heavy
direct form of taxation, to raise the
revenues necessary to conduct the gov
eminent of the island. About the only
ones desiring the benefit of free trade
are a few foreigners like Mr.. Finley
the British consul at San Juan, who
have bought up all the sugar and to-
bacco in sight at low figure, and have
been holding the same in anticipation
of a free entry to the States, thereby
enabling them to realize more largely
on their investment.

1t may be question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend any of the
various proprietary medicines which
food the market, yet as preventive
of suffering we feel it duty to say
good word for Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine
in our family for twenty years and
have always found it reliable. In
many cases dose of this remedy
would save hours of suffering while
physician is awaited. We do not
believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for cure, but we do
not believe that if bottle of Cham
berain 8 Diarrhoea Remedy were kept
on hand and administered at the in
ception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. At least
this has been our experience during
the past twenty years. For sale by

A correspondent of the Chicago Rec
ord, writing from Fort Sill. Okla, says
there have been so many false state
ments in the newspapers lately about
Geronimo, in regard to his going mad,
his leaving the reservation and going
on the warpath and his not being sat
isfed here, that it would not be out of
place to have the truth about him and
his band.
This, continues the correspondent, is
my third trip to Fort Sill. and the next
day after arriving l went to see Zero
nimo, who lives about three miles from
the post. i met him on the road on
horseback with his little daughter sit
ting back of him and his little nephew
back of her, three on one horse. He
shook hands with me. He is looking
better than had ever seen him before.
He is in good health and looks several
years younger than he did year ago.

portrait of him. He said: How much

~: "To-dah!" which means NO" and
added: ME savoy you make heap lot
of money from my pictures. You must
pay me so much" and held up both
hands twice and one hand once, which
meant $25.
He said he was on the way to the
doctors as his little girl was not well
Then he added that he wanted to see
me again. So the next day, Sunday
| spent the day with him. He showed
me the different things he collected al
Omaha last year. He feels very proud
over his visit there, but ii has had {

The Priority Of Standards.

According to an English journal, the
yellow and red flag of Leon and CASTLE
is the oldest of any used by the Euro
pean powers, as it was first flown by
Spain in 1855. The French tri-color
was first used in 1895, the red English
ensign, with the present union jack in
the upper canton, in 1901, the present
italian flag in 1s4s, the present Austro-
Hungarian flag in 1867, and the German
flag in 1871. This would make the stars
and stripes the Oldest flag of all; but,
as matter of fact, many of the accept
ed standards of European princes, such
as the white and black eagle of the
house of Brandenburg, date back to the
early middle ages.

and it was fun to see him handle the
cards. He was as expert as any of
them, and at times would get so ex-
cited he would yell at the top of his
voice. The principal point in the game
is to bet on the turn of card. Often
three and four Comanches would chip
in and bet good sum on a card when
Geronimo was handling the cards, and
he would cover their money every time.
They couldn't bluff him.
While he was playing cards white
man stepped up to Geronimo and bet
him ten dollars that his horse could
beat Geronimo's. Geronimo looked at
the white mans horse and then took
the bet. The money was tied up in a
handkerchief and laid on the ground
for the winner to take. Sometimes if
Geronimo thinks he has an easy horse
to beat he will ride the horse himself,
but in this case he got small Apache
boy to ride and his horse won the race.
Geronimo is generous and good to his
people, especially the poorer ones, Civ
ing them money whenever they need IT.
