TRADE IN THE FAR EAST.


If President Hill Of the Great North
ern railway carries out his recently re-
ported plan for a cheap through
freight rate from Buffalo to the Orient,
Europe may have to meet wonderful
and unexpected competition for the
trade of China and Japan, says the
New York Tribune. Mr.. Hill is just
completing two gigantic steamships to
run from Puget Sound. to Yokohama,
Nagasaki, Hong Kong and Shanghai.
He also controls a line of steamers on
the Great Lakes and an admirably
equipped road from Duluth to the Pa
cifc coast.
He is quoted a. saying that he will
make a through freight rate from Buff
falo or other lake points to China OF
Japan of SIS a ton, or possibly less. At
present the mere transit across the Pa
cific varies from So to 50 a ton. Rates
from the eastern states to the Pacific
coast run from So a ton for grain to
as high as $50 to $32 for machinery
and locomotives, and for through
transitto the Orient from SIS for grain
to S48 for locomotives. When these
rates r compared with MI. HilI's
prospective schedule OF prices the cut
seems almost incredible. Yet there
is far seeing method in it. The plan
is not to make a temporary ruinous
rate war, but to bring every part OF a
great transportation system to the best
paying efficiency, and that, Mr.. Hill be-
lieyes, may best be done by a possible
loss on some items, just as a depart
ment store finds it profitable sometimes
to sell a few kinds of goods at a loss
because the return from them, such as
it is, partially pays the expense OF the
department, which must be kept up
anyhow.
In the case Of the Great Northern
any west bound freight is better than
empty cars. The bulk of the business

cedar OF Washington and Oregon, for
which there is such a demand that the
railroad has difficulty in furnishing
cars enough to be loaded. For this
business itgets the good rate OF $8 a
ton, which Is not to be cut. This
amounts to $500 q car. IL is calcu-
lated to cost S9a to haul this car east.

locomotive works are running on a
large contract. The largest cream,

finest buttermilk on draught continu-

conditions Of the year 1900 in Lincoln,
Neb., the home of William Jennings
Bryan. Even the man who marched
with Coxey to Washington and was a
lieutenant Of the commonweal army
has got a steady job to his liking. He
rides the horse lawn mower on the

Several times a day the newspaper
correspondents stationed at Lincoln
go around. the corner and invade the
creamery. There is a faucet and a
tin cup. Help yourself is the rule.
At first The newspaper men wanted to
pay for the drinks. The creamery
people said the buttermilk faucet was
the town pump, and that it would be
impossible to estimate the price of a
drink of buttermilk when they sold it
at SC a gallon to anybody who would
come after it.
AS the result of an understanding
reached between the creamery people
and the press a tank has been set
apart for buttermilk baths. Julian
Hawthorne led the fashion, taking a
buttermilk bath every day. Some
others followed, and the buttermilk
bath has become a Lincoln institution.
Four years ago there wasn't such a
thing here as a buttermilk bath. Many
of the male population neglected other
kinds Of baths. They were too busy
talking politics and saving the country.
"The Eleventh and O street crowd"
was famous. AT the intersection Of
the two thoroughfares hundreds Of
men assembled from day to day and
talked "rasho'' and per capiter." The
crowd was SC large at times that it OBJ

and talked and talked and forgot to
go home for their meals. There is no

Evidences of prosperity with. Mr..
Bryan are not limited to the fresh
paint and new porch. Newspaper
stories that he has $4,000 in bonds in
a safe place are ridiculed by the can
didate, who says he would like to see
some of them. ga healthy growth of
his estate is admitted. In 1896 Mr..
Bryan returned to the assessor his oc-
cupation as a lawyer, and his taxable
wealth at $27O. This year he gives
no occupation, and lists his property
at $4,000. The %accretion has been
steady for the past four years. In
1890 he was put down as a lawyer with
no property. 1888 he was returned
as a congressman by profession, with
an estate valued at $3.50. The next
year showed that his property had
shrunken to $500. In 1895 Mr.. Bryan
was a lawyer worth $$34O. The first
year after he ran for president Mr..
Bryan returned $1,485, and in 1898 his
estate was taxed at $2,9S7.

BRYAN II PROSPERITY.

Mr. Bryan will find it difficult to
make a. hard times campaign this year.
His own state, city and home are too
strong evidences of prosperity. A
correspondent of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, writing from Lincoln, says:
When Bryan was nominated in 1896
his friends went out to his cottage and
gave it a much needed coat of paint be-
fore the owner got home from Chiea-
go. As barber headed the movement.
AT the time the weeds around the place
were waist high. Thoughtful friends
saw that they were cut. House AMI
grounds looked as hard as the times
about which the nominee had so much
TO say.
This year the cottage does not need
fresh paint. The lawn is respectable.
a new porch with electric lights en-
circles the front, Bryan rides a saddle
horse, and Mrs. Bryan has a hired girl.
Times have changed since Mr.. Bryan
ran for president in 1896. On the
next lot but one to- Mr.. Bryan a neigh
bor has built $4,000 house and has
put a picture of Mckinley in the win
dow. Around the corner are two
more new houses, in the front windows
OF which are pictures of Mckinley. All
about Lincoln there are new shingles
and fresh paint. and porches have be-
come the rule. Pictures of Mckinley
abound. On R street are several
blocks where it seems as if almost ev-
cry house has a picture OF "the advance
agent Of prosperity"
Pictures of Bryan are not wanting,
though they are not nearly so numer
GUS as the Mckinley pictures. On one
block a handsome mansion displays
the Bryan face behind the plate glass.
Beside it is a humble cottage Of one
story and three rooms, with a picture
OF Mckinley behind the most conspic-
nous window pane.

for taking that car westward, where it
is wanted. he will be saving largely.
In that case the revenue from the
round trip would be $3.50, while the
cost Of hauling would be S1Ss and the
profit 5S92. Though the westward trip
would be at a loss of $14, the whole
arrangement would increase the profit
Of this double Journey OF the car from.
$21 to S92-a remarkable illustration
of what organization can do for com
merce in genera. while trying to bene-
fit one business in particular.
Mr.. Hill is going to have the latest
appliances for quick loading and UNI
loading, and with only two points Of
transfer-Duluth and Seattle-the loss
by delay; which he regards as one Of
the most serious in the economic man
agement of a great plant, will be re-
duced to a minimum. The success Of
the scheme depends on his ships and
cars being always full. and always
moving, and with the Inducements he
is to offer it would seem as if they must
be.
What such a thing means for the Ell,
pension Of American commerce is
plain at a glance. 1t Americans can
put down in China and Japan cotton
goods, iron, steel, machinery and mis-
~cellaneous manufactures from the
doors of their factories for IS 8. ton or
anything like that sum they can
simply own the markets of the Orient.
About the lowest European rate to
China by way of Suez is So a ton from
Antwerp. To that must be added the
rate of carriage to Antwerp from the
manufacturing centers. Thus there
would be a fair margin for u~nderselling
Europe in the east. Already with our
present high freights we maintain our
selves c~reditably in competition there,
and r gaining all the time. With
such a stimulus our export trade
should increase by leaps and bounds.

ers Her Power of Speech.
LANCASTER, Pa, July 15.-On August
10, 1893, Miss Sarah H. Lands, daughter
of Mrs. Hattie Landis, OF Ehrata, famous
summer resort of eastern Pennsylvania,
was Frustrated by some functional disor-
der. Soon it developed into nervous and
spinal troubles and never since has she
left her bed. From a girl Of large size
she became reduced almost to a skeleton,
which is her present condition. She was
bright and intelligent and well educated,
and even her years of suffering have not
dimmed her mind
One day, less than a year later. her
speech left her while she was conversine
with member of her family. Her dis
,ress of mind over her added affiiction
nearly resulted in causing her death, but
she finally rallied. Skilled physicians at
tended her, one after another, but they
were unable to help her, nor could they
in any way account for her sudden loss of
speech.
She became reconciled to her misfortune
at last, convinced that 1t would end only
with her death. and in time she invented
an entirely new sign language by which
her family quickly learned to converse
with her. In recent years she grew TO for
get her affection.
On Friday, the sixth anniversary of Der
affection her speech returned as suddenly
and as mysteriously as it had left her.
While lying In bed she had some want, and
on the spur Of the moment she uncon-
sciously called to her sister Hattie in the
next room.
The surprised girl could scarcely credit
her senses when she heard the voice, be-
cause the invalid had tried before TO speak
and could only emit gurgling sound. In
spite Of her long silence, words came nat
urally and easily, and since then she has
been able TO speak as well as ever. But
she does not talk great deal, as the eff
fort tires her, probably because of her
weakness.
She was at first oyerioyed at recovering
her speech, but she now appears quite UNI
emotional Hundreds of curious people
have called to see her since this wonder
full recovery of speech, including many
physicians. who are completely puzzled
both by her loss and her recovery of
speech.
