Small shii Which Is Reported to
IIays Been svamped bya
Large Log.

sIOkANE. Wash. Nov. s0- Four
lives were lost here this evening BY
the canslzIng OF a ferry boat IN the
Spokane river two miles down the riv-
er II was crossing the stream with
eighteen workingnen who had ended
their days work In a construction
aamp near the Great Northern's new
bridge.
The rnen crowded to the bow and It
was forced under the swift current and
the boat was swamped All the men
were thrown into the cold water. Five
swan to the shore ard the others
climbed on the capsized boat. The
waves ran high and washed four Of
them Of to death.
The dead are: L. slmons, colored; Jack
Lovett: two unknown.
It IS said that when the ferry cap
sized a man started on in a skin to
he rescue. One Of the men who wit
messed the accident says he picked up
one Of the men IN the water but neither
the rescuer nor the skin has since been
seen. It was probably carried down the
rapids and It is possible that the two
men have reached the shore some dis
tance down stream.
Another account says the boat was
swamped by large log.

TREASURY IS FULL
Contains NsOOO.OOo More Than 1t Did
Year Ago.

WASHINGTON. Nov. sO-The largest
stock Of gold and bullion ever held in
the United States is now accumulated
In the treasury and its branches.
The total has been rising steadily
during the whole Of the present year
and is now about S6eOoooO greater
than at the close Of 1899.
The influx Of gold into the treasury
comes from the Klondike and other
mines but its retention is due to the
pressure for currency which leads to
the acceptance Of gold certificates and
other paper money in preference to
coin. 81

IdfOtic Gallantry,
From the New York Times.

tne New York Times
There are several different kinds of gal
lantry. The exact nature of that which
led a man to jump overheard from a cat
boat In the Great South bay to recover 4
lady's hat blown into the water we need
not attempt to define. II the hat had been
successfully rescued, the act might have
been properly applauded. But the truth Is
that the man was drowned and another
man who leaped overheard to save him.
thereby leaving the women alone in the
catboat which they could not sail, almost
met the same fate. The gallantry Of the
seco nd man, who deserted the women IN
most ungallant fashion, appears to US
to have been much greater than that of the
first man. who lost his life in an attempt
to pay a lady high compliment So much
for the matter of gallantry. But 1t is sad
to reflect that the whole thing was un-
necessary. 1t would not be pertinent to tell
sailor that the easiest way to save the
hat would have been to sail close to 1t and
pick it up with boathook. This might
not have looked so heroic as leaping over
board. but 1t would have shown a good deal
more knowledge Of the elements of simple
seamanship. without which men should
avoid catboats and all other sorts of sailing
craft on the Great South bay or any other
waters. But 1t seems unlikely that the
time will ever come when wisdom will ac-
company the ordinary famdsnian into the
presence of small, cranky boat with one
sail and very little ballast.e

An Expanding Market

The fact that the expectations of 1900
exceeded by $317, 749. 80 those of any pre-
ceding year, and that this Increase while
apparent in every class Is especially
marked in manufactures alone, the in
crease in which amounts to So. .GOS. sos over
1899. suggests that new markets are being
found for American products. A detailed
study of our export trade for 1900 shows
that this growth Is found in every part of
the world. and especially in those coun-
ing and producing nations are now looking
for an increased market
While Europe Is naturally Our larges.
market for breadstuffs, the percentage OF
81 owth in our sales to other yarts of the
world Is much more rapid. To Europe our
exports for the year 1900 crossed for the
first time the billion dollar line, yet our
exports to that continent show an in
crease of but 10 per cent In 1900 over 1889,
and but 80 per cent over 1880. while to
North America our exports In 1900 show
All increase of 1S per cent over 1899 and
the increase is very slight. owing, in part
at least, to the lack of direct steamship
communication for our export trade: to
Oceania the increase in 1900 over 1899 Is
43 per cent, and over 1850 is 162 per cent:
to Asia the increase In 1900 over 1899 is 43
per cent and over the year 1890 ia 237 per
cent; to Africa, the increase in 1900 over
1899 Is comparatively small. owing to the
Interruption of commerce with that contt-
nent by the existing war. but compared
with 1890 the increase is 324 per cent To
Europe and British North America our
exports in 1900 show an increase of 1012
per cent over 1880. and 81 per cent over
1899. while to all other parts Of the world
3l-7 per cent over 1899 and 91-7 per cent
