sWEDEN's MONEY SCARE.
Scarcity In Commercial Circles Threatens
Panic-Industries Daily Launched
without Adequate Capital.

Stockholm, Oct. 25.-The extraor-
binary scarcity of money which has
been growing more acute for month
is so seriously affecting commercial
circles as to threaten crisis. The
balance of foreign trade continues
against Sweden and the repeated con-
traction of gold loans abroad fail to
palliate the situation. Industries are
daily launched but adequate capital
is not available and the newspapers
are filed with appeals from manu-
facturers in desperate straits for
money. Rural people attracted by
the industrial activity are flockipg
to the towns and, consequently, the
demand for houses is so great that
rents have advanced 20 to 80 per cent.
The civil servants have already been
granted 20 per cent. increase in pay
to meet the hard times and it is ex-
pected employers generally will have
to follow suit.

the growth of trade in other coun-
tries, such as India, which in former
years merely supplied the raw ma
terial, is the disease affecting the tex
tile trade. And with overproduction
has come a decline in export business
with the United States, owing to the
protectionist policy of that country
In SaNony some of the carpet max
ers are only working four hours q
week. In central Germany dismissalz
on a large scale are reported. Stin
worse is the state of affairs in Silesia,
where dismissals and short hours are
combined.
Nor is western Germany in any bet
ter state. The silk weavers of CrefeId
have dismissed one-third of their
hands, and the rest are working short
time. In AK Ia Chapelle 1000 hands
are out of employment. The only
bright spot is the velvet industry,
which still keeps up its production.
From Alsatia in the west to Silesi0
in the east the cry is the same-Over-
production.
The war has naturally had a bad
effect on trade, more particularly on
the iron trade. India, for instance,
has been constructing numbers of rice
mills and had bought the machines in
Thuringia. Since the troubles in
China arose, this progress has ceased.
In addition to this it may be added
that the high price of cotton is caus-
ing much distress. Only the other
day the spinners of Austria-Hungary,
meeting in Vienna, decided to reduce
the output by one-sixth. This means
that the mills will close down one
day per week until next spring. The
cause of the whole trouble is the high
price of cotton and the impossibility
of getting equivalent yarn prices
Many other mills throughout Europe
are closing on account of shortage in
this article.

GEN. L1BER's REPORT.
The Judge Advocate General OF the Army
States That There Were $3.50 Courts
Martial Last Year.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Gen. Liber,
judge advocate general of the army,
in his annual report to the secretary
of war says there were $3.50 trials
by general court-martial during the
past fiscal year. a total of 1850 men
were sentenced to dishonorab1e dis
charge, of whom 2,270 were in the
regular army and 315 in the volun-
teers. Death sentences were imposed
by sentence of court-martia1 in six
cases of enlisted men. but the SEN
fences were committed by the presi-
dent to dishonorab1e discharge, for
fixture of all pay and allowances and
imprisonment at hard labor for 20
years in five cases, and for three years
in one case-that of striking a supe-
rior officer. Death sentences were
imposed by military commissioners
in IS cases of natives of the Philip
pine islands. The death sentence
was disapproved in one case, exc
cuted in five cases and committed
to Imprisonment at hard labor in
seven cases.

HAVE EVACUATED PEKIN.
American Troops Have Reached Tien Tsin
and VIII at Once Be Placed ON
Vessels for Manila.

Washington, Oct 25.-Based upon
Gen. Chaffee's advice, the war depart
ment officials are of the opinion that
all of the American troops included
in the order of evacuation have not
only left Pekin, but are now probably
at Tien Tsin or nearby. The quarter
masters department has made all ar
engagements for taking them aboard
ship, so there is no longer much dam
ger of these troops being prevented
by ice from leaving north China.
Afraid to Leave Hut-ChOw.
Canton, Oct. 25.-According to Off
cia1 reports, all the cities in the Hui
Chow prefecture are still holding out,
the rebels combining themselves to
capturing villages and slaughtering
isolated bodies of imperial troops. The
rebels are also actively recruiting and
are now estimated to number 10000.
There has been no pitched battle. The
Chinese general commanding at Hui
Chow is afraid to leave the city for
fear of being cut off.

Natural Gas I'm Kansas CITY,

Natural gas has been found in Kan
.sas City, Kan, by a company that has
been prospecting since early Septem-
Der. The well is located near the
corner of Thirteenth and Central
streets. The we'll is about 600 feet
deep and four inches in diameter.
1t is estimated that the pressure is
about $50 pounds per square foot and
that the flow will be about 100000 Gu
bic feet per day when the necessary
additional drilling is done.

Ever since the beginning of the rail-
road era, Austria has been preemi-
Austrian Export ao4... IL
rope as an export
er of timber. For many years the
large export of the products of her
rich forests was pointed to by her
people with pride and rejoicing. But
there has been a marked change of
opinion, and voices may now be heard
everywhere denouncing these ship
mentS.
Austrian economists claim that the
forests of this empire feed the Ger
man industries to the great detri-
ment of home manufacturers. They
direct attention to the fact that when
with Germany's remarkable economic
development, the demand for timber,
lumber, railroad ties, slaves, par
quetry, veneers, ETC., increased and
the governments of the various states
by timely and prudent legislation pre-
vented the devastation of their own
forests, German builders and manu-
facturers came to Austria for their
material and have ever since been sup
piled here with large portion of the
sinews of the industrial war which,
by their successful competition in for
eign markets, they have been Indirect
ly waging against the manufacturing
interests of this empire.
Applied to the last decade, this ar
gument is certainly lame; for it cam
not be denied that Austria then
shared with Germany the profits re-
sulting from the improvement of the
raw products of her forests. In re-
cent years, however, the transactions
appear to have been much less to her
advantage.
The customs statistics show that
while previous to the conclusion of tho
present commercial treaty between
the two countries, December 6, 1891,
Austrias exports in this line con-
sisted almost exclusively of sawed
lumber railroad ties, slaves, par
quetry and ce1lulose, they have since
that time been composed mainly Of
raw material, because, under the OPP
Grafton of the new treaty, the Ger
man manufacturers found it to their
advantage to buy, as far as possible,
raw material and improve it at home.
The export of sawed lumber, wooden
ware, etc, has practically been sta
tionary since 1891, while the quantity
of crude timber exported has in
creased from 1859, 600 tons to 15,139,-
900 tons, or 2.204.6 pounds per ton.

OUR FOREIGN LETTER
Dealing with Commercial and In
dustria1 Conditions Abroad.
One OF Japan's Ways of Securing New
Business-Stagnant Markets in
Germany and Other Inter
estfnE Items.

There has recently been established
in Bankok museum of japanese man
ufactures and prod
ucts. This institu-
ton is under the
which pays all the running expenses,
except the salary of the director.
The establishment occupies large and
commodious rooms in one of the busiest
portions of the commercial city. In
these rooms it is proposed to display
sample of every commercial product of
Japan. There are number already
on exhibition, and our neighbors of the
far east are making a decidedly favor
able showing of their manufactured
products. A corps of polite clerks is in
constant attendance to assist any who
may wish to look over the exhibit, and
anyone can order goods from the sam
pie, a per cent. being added to the price
mark. This per cent has been fixed in
Japan, and is invariabIe. In case the
purchaser wishes to pay freight him
self, the per cent. is simply the commits
sion that goes to the director in place
of salary. If desired, however, the
esta bIishment will deliver the goods to
the door of the purchaser, adding to
the producers price such a percentage
as will cover commission and expenses.
All items of expense. whether of post
age, cable, freight or commission, are
entered upon the bill of the purchaser.
By employing as director a man who
has other business interests in Bang
kok, the government has been able to
secure a valuable agent of successful
business experience and wide acquaint-
ance with the people.
The museum has been opened. now for
some nine weeks, and is proving an in
creasing success. The oriental mer-
chant has little use for catalogues. price
lists and pictures. He objects to the
salesman for the reason that his sam
piles go with him, and he leaves nothing
to enable the purchaser to compare the
goods delivered with those ordered.
Here, the samples can be inspected and
the goods compared with the samples;
the merchant can deal with a firm that
is established in his city, and the goods
are not paid for until he is satisfied
that they are what he ordered. The
aightforward manner of fixing the
purchasing price appeals to both ori-
entail and occidental.
Orders are accepted for large or small
quantities, and the small purchaser
gets the advantage of freight rates on
the large orders if he is willing to wait.
AS a result, the patrons of the museum
are by no means confined to the mer-
camille class, and the European popula-
ton of the city are availing themselves
in no small degree of this opportunity of
doing business with a spIendidly
stocked Japanese bazaar.
The trade between Japan and Siam
had not assumed proportions sufficient
to warrant notice in the annual GUS
toms reports of Bangkok until last
year, when, as the first fruit of Japan's
intelligent endeavor, this trade is re-
ported as $74,96O.

A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
Was a Kansas Pioneer.

At West Chester, Pa, whittier he
had gone three weeks before, last
week. occurred the death of B. W.
Woodward, a pioneer citizen of Kan
ssas and known to nearly every state
university student. Mr.. Woodward
was born in Chester county, Pa, and
came to Kansas IN 1855. He settled
in Lawrence, then village of mud
huts and shanties. In August he laid
in a $4,000 stock of drugs and station
sery and commenced business on Mas
ssachusetts street. This was the be-
ginning of what DIS now, with one eX-
ception, the oldest drug house west
of ST. Louis and the oldest business
house in Kansas. Mr.. Woodward at
once identified himself with the free
state party and was an active worker
for his party. He enlisted in COM
pany F, of the Kansas guards, under
command of Gen. Lane, in December
1855, and an earthworl which was
built by the Lawrence people abutted
on his store, making it necessary for
him to pack up his stock. He took
part in the Capture of Titus and
many other affairs incident to the raid
ION Lawrence, May 81, 1856. In 1857
ne was Il delegate TO Une Tree state
territorial convention which nominal
ed Mark Parrot as a delegate to con-
gress. In 1866 he was an active work
aer for and secretary of the ST. Louis,
Lawrence q Denver Railroad company,
until it's completion to Lawrence in
1872. In 1870 he made Frank Faxon
his business partner and in 1878 he
and Faxon and James c. Horton es-
tablished at Kansas City a wholesale
drug house, now Faxon, Horton &
Gallagher, with the firm name of
Woodward, FaXon e. Co. Mr.. Wood
ward withdrew from the Kansas City
firm several years ago.
