Record Breaker for Foreign Trade.
This year is booked to top any pre-
vious record for foreign trade. We
exported twice rs much as in 1888,
three times as much as in 1872; four
times as much as in 1869 and five times
as much as In 1862. In 1870 we sen
abroad about $1O.46 worth of goods Der
capita; in 1885. $12.26; in 1890, 1880.
while this year we take a jump up to
1892. The average amount per CAPT.
ia of imports has diminished slightly.
Our total exports for this calendar
year will probably reach 81, 47O, O0O, 600
and our imports 1926, 900, 900, leaving a
comfortable balance of $645, OOO, 900. 1t
was only in 1873 that our exports began
regularly to exceed our imports. The
great leap in the last yea or two is
largely due to exports of our manufac-
tured metal in the form of bridges, en-
gines, rails, and electric machinery. 1t
looks probable that we will 500 build

Inaugural Ceremonies to Eclipse Al
Former Occasions.

President McKinley's second inaugu-
ration on March 4 next, will be mark
ed with a ceremonial splendor never
before attempted in the city, says a
Washington correspondent. The in
augural committee. of which John Joy
Edison is chairman. intends to make
the inauguration a magnificent spec
tacle.
Military will be the main feature of
the parade. The committee has invit-
ed state organizations to participate
and from the responses it is probable
that more militia bodies will be n line
than ever before.
The regular troops around Washing
ton will be brought here. The cadets
from the military and naval academies
will also be in attendance.
Civic bodies will be well represented
bupt the object of the committee will
possible. Hundreds of applications
have been received from Rough Rider
clubs hat wish to participate.
An innovation will be the decora-
tions of the capitol and White House.
Mr.. Edison will ask congress to author
ize the running of electric wires over
the White House. He intends that the
capitol building and especially the
great dome, shall be outlined in in
candescent globes and hat the same
plan shall be followed with the execu-
tive mansio and other public buildings.
Electric lights will be placed in all
the parks and reservations which are
supplied with fountains.
The ball of the last Mckinley inau-
euration. which was unanimously de-
clared the finest in the history of these
functions. will be eclipsed by the one
to come. which will be held in the PEN
sion office. More han So 900 will be
expended in decorations. More than
S45 900 of h necessary $50 900 fund
has been subscribed. The Twenty
third Ohio volunteer regiment. in
which President Mckinley served dur
ing the war. will attend in a body.
The survivors of the first republican
convention. that of 1856. will ride in
carriages directly behind the president.
The reviewing stand from which
President Mckinley will witness the
parade will be directly in front of the
executive mansion and surrounded by
a court of honor. A plan for a tri-
umphial arch is being considered by
h committee. but whether or not the
arch will be decided upon is a ques-
ton.
h navy for the first time in an in
augural ceremony will be represented.
In command of Admiral Dewey all the
warships in eastern waters will be or
dered to Washington and steam up the
Potomac river, "a far as they can
safely make the channel.

THE NEW CURES"
FOR CONSUMPTION.

The Gautier treatment of tubercu-
losis. as described in today's paper. is
attracting great attention among both
foreign and American practitioners
who try to keep up with the advance
march of modern science. Expert
ments hat have been made in the hos
pitfalls abroad have been on the whole
successful. and there is no reason to
doubt that the new treatment has in
it great possibilities for the alienation
of the suffering of the human race.
The new remedy, c~acodylic acid
pronounced kak-o-dil-ic, with h &C
cent on the "dil') is described in the
chemistries as a crystalline arsenic
compound, soluble in water. odorless,
and la not to be an active poison,
although it contains 54.4 per cent of
metallic arsenic, equivalent to TIA per
cent of arsenious acid. Cacodyl. the
base Of cacodylic acid, is described as a
metaloid radical, an arsenic carbohy-
drate, a clear liquid, of unexpectedly
offensive smell, and having a vapor
that is deadly to inhale. The name
comes from the Greek, and means bad
smelling.
The Use OF arsenic is not new, in
treating certain diseases. The article
from the Daily Mail brings out the fact
that this peculiar metaloid in various
forms has for ages been utilized in the
Treatment of disease. although without
r knowledge of its character. The

have so much to say of late, is not

himself, and he has made a point or
~contradicting the reports sent out by
too jealous newspaper correspondents.
remedies have been used as those ad-
vocated by DIR. Hoff, but perhaps in a
slightly different combination. DR..
Hof asserts hat his combination of
remedies does not effect a positive
cure, but generally alleviates the light

DIR. -Hoff's combination consists of
Fowler's solution of arsenic, an old
remedy, together with an extract of
1audanum, cognac, and an a%ntiseptic.

structive article in which the relative
advantages of the Panama and Mica
ragua canal routes are compared. The
various points are reduced to their
money value, n h conclusions

mission, are hat the American people
are determined to own and operate
their own canal, and will not go into
partnership with any private oncern;
that the Nicaragua ana route is the
more costly, but would be a great saw
ing in distance; that about $50, 900 900
worth Of work has been done on the
Panama route, which would be a direct
loss in case the United States should

the best plan for all concerned will
be for the Panama Canal company to

to complete the Panama canal. What

The end of the century Is revealing

of which is the fact that a man al
