Imperial Authority Given for Begin
ming Negotiations.
A special cablegram to the Baltimore
Sun from Shanghai dated September .,
says: An imperial decree has been issued in
Pechlli province through Acting Viceroy
Ting Yung. It has been received here by
Ii Hung Chang and reads as follows:
1.-The I-Ho-Chuan outlaws (Boxers). in
their hatred of foreigners and Christians,
have attacked them at Taku and Tien Tsin
The allied forces have therefore taken Tien
Tsin and Taku and on the morning Of Au-
gust 10 attacked the imperial capital from
the east The Tung Chi and Chao Yang
gates of the Tartar City were blown UP by
the Japanese. We therefore prepared for
the departure of the empress dowager for
the west.
1--WE have repeatedly telegraphed to the
foreign powers demonstrating against the
invasion of our kingdom. They have re-
piled that they fight only against the Box
ers and their leaders, and are not In con-
fiict with our government, showing that
they are not willing to make peace.
But as all the ministers are safe in
Pekin, we hereby command Yang HUI Hsu
Tung and Ching Yu to stay in Pekin and
arrange terms of peace. We also command
Ii Hung Chang, Viceroy of Pechilii, who is
our faithful and trusted officer and has the
ures to bring about negotiations, and to
telegraph to the secretaries of state OF the
various countries. or consult the consuls at
Shanghai. We trust that Ii Hung Chang
will forward the cause of peace, thereby
earning our thanks"

TRADE WITH PORTO RICO
EFFECT OF CUTTING DOWN THE
TARIFF RATES.
Imports From the Ialand Increase 80
Per Cent, Exports Nearly Two and
One-Half Times as Much.

Commerce between the United States and
Porto Rico has developed rapidly since the
new act went into effect May l, 1900. I'm
ports into the United States from that
island have increased 10 per cent over those
of one year ago, and are three times as
great as the average when Porto Rico
was Spanish territory. while exports to the
island have increased nearly $50 per cent
over one year ago and are nearly five
times as much as the average when Porto
Rico was Spanish territory.
During the month of July whose figures
have just been completed by the treasury
bureau Of statistics, the exports from the
United States to the island were $3.50, 129,
against $2o6. i66 in July, 1899. and s156, 29G
in July, 1897 Taking the entire three
months in which the new act has been In
operation-May, June and July-the exports
To the island were 81 111.2OT. against $685.
453 in the corresponding months of 1899.
$4S5.219 in the corresponding months Of
1897. and $500, 225 in the corresponding
months of 1896. On the import side the
figures for July, 1900. were s64O,023, against
$44s. 267 in July, 1899; s145273 in 1897, and
$254.676 In July, 1896.
Effect of Tariff Reduction.
1t Is apparent, therefore, from an exam
nation Of these figures that imports from
Porto Rico In the three months operation
Of the new law are fully 90 per cent in
excess Of those for the corresponding
months of 1885, when the island was under
the American flag, but the former tariff
relations yet unaffected, while they are
nearly three times as much in the cor
responding months Of the closing years of
Spanish control of the island. Taking the
export side Of the picture the evidences of
growth are still more plainly apparent.
The exports from the United States to the
island in May, June and July. 1900, amount
ed to 81, Iii, 207 against 1878. 453 in the cor
responding months Of 1899. Sass 79 in the
corresponding months of 1897, and 1898. 225
In the corresponding months Of 1895. Thus
the exports under the new law nearly
two and half times much in the
corresponding months of 1892 when The
island was under the American flag, but
the tariff relations yet unaffected and
nearly five times as much as the average
during the closing years of Spanish con-
troll of the island.
Increase in Trade.
The following shows the commerce be-
tween the United States and the Island of
Porto Rico in May, June and July of each
year. from 1896 to and including the year
1900, and enables a comparison of the
trade Of the first three months under the
new law with the corresponding months
OF each year in the term covered. No
comparison is made with 1898 owing to the
fact that the hostilisies in existence dur
Ing June, July and August Of that year
would make the comparison an unfair one.

THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.
What the Newspapers Say About
A Good Account of Stewardship.

From the Philadelphia Press Rep.).
No better record Of stewardship has been
made by an American President. The lad
vance agent of prosperity makes such a
report as even this prosperous land never
heard. This great fabric of prosperity in
this country is challenged by the demand
for the Immediate free coinage of silver
by MIR. Bryan and both his parties. In the
Philippines the approach of peace and pros
perity is challenged by the democratic as
sault on American sovereignty. For the
protection of the honesty of its standards
and the honor of its sovereignty the presi-
dent of the United States appeals for re-
election to the American people whom he
has faithfully served.
