Tel near the BaN 'front.' at IlNc % CLOCK.
This morning a piece of paper, appar-
entity used as a stopper of a bottle, ana
having strong scent OF carbolic acid,
was found under the window. This has
led to the belief that the man who fred
the shots intended 10 commit suicide
after carrying out his plan.
There has been trouble between Hen
messy and the Corneiles for year. Hen

1898. The imports to Cuba from the
United States reached the highest
point, seventy-eight millions Of dollars,
in 1893, from which they fell to eighteen
millions of dollars in 1897 and rose to
thirty-seven millions of dollars in 1899,
showing an increase of more than nine
teen millions of dollars during the first
year of military occupation. When you
consider the universal devastation Of
the island, arising from years Of war
fare and insurrection, which prevailed
at the time this government assumed
the control Of civil affairs, the rapid
progress toward the rehabilitation of
industrial, manufacturing and agricul-
tural pursuits is clearly and conclusive
ly shown by ~ total export of fifty mil
lions of dollars and the export of forty
millions of dollars to the United States
government as against seven millions
of dollars in 1896 and eight millions of
dollars in 1S97.-George y. Meiklejohn,

through the establishment Of such q
system are a treasurer, collector,

SOME INTERVENING talk.

There is renewed talk about making
Admiral Dewey the Democratic candi-
date for President, and there is also
talk that he will run If he is properly
started The venerable and experienced
editor Of the Philadelphia Times an
independent Democratic paper, is point
ing out that Bryan is not stronger in
Democracy now than Clay was in
Whigism. when it named William Hen
ry Harrison: than Van Buren, in 1874
was in Democracy, when it nominated
Polk; than Webster was in Whigism
In 184S, when it nominated Taylor; than
Buchanan was in Democracy in 1854,
when it nominated Pierce; than Seward
was in Republicanism in 1860, when it
nominated Lincoln; than Blaine was
in 1875, when Republicanism nominated
Hayes or than Grant in 1880 for a third
nomination was in Republicanism.
when 1t nominated GARFIELD. And
Colonel Mcclure also notices that all
these candidates became President, all
of them, except Hayes by election
From this he infers that Bryan is
beatable in Democracy by some dark
horse" who might be elected. The
dark horse is suggested to be Admir-
al George Dewey.
At this stage of the proceedings it's
doesn't appear that there is much in
the Dewey boom or that he is likely to
be much in it, But there's no telling
what may happen. This may be a
great year for dark horses in politics.

Russian manufacturers and trades

Gently published an article on the sub
ject in a st. Petersburg paper, a for
eigner has stepped in and is capturing
the prize, and unless something is done
to check his aggressive enterprise he
may get away with it permanently. Ac-
cording to this writer, American firms
are putting large amounts of goods on
the Siberian market, not luxuries, but
what is needed by the local population
and he sees in this an organized at
tempt on the part of the United States

capital in mills and iron works, he fore
sees the possibility Of Americans, with
ing masters of the situation and the
purveyors of the goods needed by the
people of Siberia.
And the Russian manufacturers are
not the only ones who are troubled by
United States enterprise. Mr.. Walton,
British vice-consul at Mariopol, Russia,
discourses as follows in an official re-
port to his government: I prevailed
upon some local dealers to place few
orders for our shovels, coke-forks and
they were much pleased with the quail
ity of the goods, but Informed me that
