MANY of the japanese ships are no
doubt engaged in coasting work alone,
but that may be said of all the CONT
mental fleets with the exception of those
of France and Germany. On the other
hand, the proportion of the steam fleet
of Japan employed in the foreign trade
is rapidly rising. The active agrees
siVe policy pursued by the German is
felt at Nagasaki and other Japanese
ports quite as keenly as elsewhere, but
in spite of it the local shipowners seem
to flourish. Another fresh fact men
toned by our correspondent scarcely
reflects so much credit on the Japanese
1t is only short time since such
eminent authorities as DR.. Elgar and
Mr.. Martell declared that before long
the shipbuilders of the Mikado would
be able TO supply not merely their own
wants, put those of other countries
Their forecast is rather discounted by
the definite statement now to hand
from Toxic that up to the present mo-
ment not more than thirty-six mer-
chant vessels of all sizes and thirteen
cruisers or gunboats have been con-
structed by the Japanese. The vast
majority of their trading ships as we'll
as their battleships and cruisers, are
still built for them on the CLYDE and
the Tyne or in Germany and elsewhere
What the future may have in store
LOT Inem as ShlpDuilderS ii is imDOS-
sible to say. They are known to be apt
and skillful pupils, and it is an open
secret that one of their objects in
ordering so many ocean carriers and
ships of war from this and other coun
tries is that they may study all the
dlfterent types of construction before
they begin to build extensively on their
own account. At the same time, they
are adding to the number of their ship
yards capable of building steamers of
the first class
The japanese are also developing
thelr steel works, the manager of which
is now in Europe for the purpose of
engaging experts and foremen to take
charge of the various departments tn,
expectation being that besides rolling
IN their own yards all the plates and
angles required they may be able tc
nold out a helping hand to China. IF
therefore, the shipbuilding prospects in
Japan are not so brilliant as was sun
posed, any shortcOming in that respect
is meanwhile made up for by the in
crease of the steel industry and the
mercantile MARINE"

THE JAPANESE SHIPPING
THE LITTLE BROWN MEN PUSH.
ING FORWARD.
The Country of the Mikado now Stands
Eighth Among the Commercial Ma
tons of the World.

According to the latest details sup
piled by 'Lloyds Register, the total
number of steam and sailing vessels
owned by the. Japanese was sal, with
tonnage of $50, $751;" says the Glasgow
Herald. Had this statement been cor
rect the merchant fleet of the Mikado
would have occupied a rather back
ward position, coming only below
Spain with 6OS,SS5 tons and Sweden
with 605,991 ons. Our correspondent S
letter, however, throws new light on
the subject. SO rapidly has Japanese
shipping increased since Lloyd's fig
ures were compiled that the registered
steamers and sailing vessels now num-
Der 1885 and the tonnage is 613, 200.
Japan thus takes rank among the eight
greatest Mercantile marines, the order
being as follows.

Not So Cold as Il Looked.

"Yes," I suppose this does look like
cold work." said West Philadelphia
housemaid, as her employer stopped
a moment on Saturday morning to
express a word of sympathy for her
in her apparently chilling Job. She
knelt in the bitter cold, with bare
arms and hands, and scrubbed her
employers marble steps. The wet,
white flesh of her round and pretty
arms brought forth words of commits
Grafton from the man. She thanked
him for them and said: when you
see us barearmed maids hanging out
clothes that freeze stiff before we
get the clothespins in them, or when
you see us scrubbing, like me, mar
BILE steps that ice over as fast as they
are wetted, you think it's hard work? ?
Well, truly, we are comfortable
enough. We keep our arms and
hands wet with hot water, and that is
as good a protection against cold as
sealskin is. AS long as we keep the
exposed flesh wet, 1t isn't really bare
and exposed at all; it's protected per-
fectly. It looks cold, doesn't It." asked
the housemaid, glancing at her pretty
bare arms.-Philadelphia Record.

The report of the Industrial com.

with profit and loss, such reports to
be sworn to and subject to govern.

publicity is to encourage competition
when the profits become excessive,
protect consumers against high prices,
and guard the interests of employees.
Organizers of combinations should be
required to furnish the details regard
ing organization for which stocks are
to be issued, necessary for safe and
intelligent investment. Members of
such organizations should have access
to directors meetings so as to pre-
vent the misuse of property by d.
rectors and trustees.
The report recommends that the In
terstate commerce commission be Civ

keeping accounts by railroads and to
inspect and audit them; also to pre-.
scribe freight classification and make
rules for transportation. The law
should be amended, making decisions
of the Interstate commission opera

riers should be fined for violation.

AusrRIA,s NEW MONEY.
New Coins, New Denominations, But
still the Silver Standard.

A new currency has been introduced
into Austria Hungary. The Austrian
florin has disappeared, and with 1t al
so the kreuzer, of which there wero
100 In florin. The new unit is called
the krone (crown). and 1t equals half
a form. One crown contains 100 hel.
Ter, and the latter, therefore, equals
half kreuzer.
1t must be remarked. however, that
the Introduction Of the new currency
does not yet mean the establishing Of
the intended gold standard, but Is on.
ly preparatory step toward It. The
transition to the gold standard Is not
expected to be affected before two or
three years have passed. SO far, there.
fore, q crown means nominally silver
money.
After the introduction of the gold
standard one crown will equal If. &C.,
the slight difference having been
made to prevent the leakage Of gold
from the country.
The new currency, whatever It's 9TH
or merits, does not seem to tend to
simplicity. AS crown piece or
"krone," having the value of half a
form, Is to take the place of the for.
in, and the new half-forin piece is
to consist of 100 heller instead Of 50
kreuzer, the gain Is not very apparent.
1t is pretty much as IL we were to
abolish the shilling. with its 12d., as a
unit, and substitute a sixpence with
twelve halfpence. The traveller anG
tourist in Austria Hungary will have
to count in heller and "kroner" hence,
forth instead of "kreuzer" and guild
en-" having twice the value. The new
krone will not be equivalent either I'd
The French franc on the one hand OF
to the German mark on the other. So
that there Is no tendency to simplicity
or to equalization of values. The intro
duction of the new currency is intend
ed to facilitate the establishment Of a
gold standard in Austria Hungary
which, we are informed, will take
place in two or three years. But we
have heard of the adoption Of the gold
standard in the dual empire for some
ten years past. and it is not in sight
yet.-London Chronicle.

It's Up to the People.

Less than year remains in which
10 gather facts, and information that
will influence your vote for the mex,
president of the United States.
That grievous wrongs have been
committed, and grave errors allowed
to exist without effort at correction, is
evidenced by the speech, writings, and
comments of eminent statesmen and
jurists; congressman and leading men
of business; professors and clergymen
in every state.
Party affiliations have been ignored

the safeguards of our fathers and rush.

The situation is a deplorable one if
not alarming; as is also our domestic

The evils are not Of spontaneous
growth They are the result of years
Of labor and expenditure of millions
of dollarsl Beginning with the dis
placement of American silver for
English gold, the cunning of Eng

quently called attention to each and
every move as it was transpiring, and
during the campaign of 1900 will
present its readers with a truthful
array Of facts that will be extremely
interesting and startling.
No fair-minded American, be he
Republican, Democrat or of other
political faith, can afford at this critical
time to ignore the truth. Partisan
prejudice, with the Trusts as dictators,
is far more degrading slavery than
that which existed previous to the Civil
War of '61-64.
Trusts in the United States alone
have representative capital greater
than all the gold and silver in the
world. These will spend many more
millions of dollars to suppress truth
and facts and mislead all who fail to
look beyond their plausible decep-
lions. Read the Enquirer and you
will be able to discern the truth and
combat falsehood. A victory for
Trusts and the Mckinley Admins
tration in 1900 will end the era OF

To Keep Gold Cure secret.

The death Of DR.. Leslie Keeley Of
Dwight, ILL.,. has brought to light some
Of the secrets Of the institution which
he founded, although 1t is stated the
formula OF bi-chloride Of gold will not

the chief owner OF the Keeley insti-

stage. Neither is his estate SO large

but his two partners-John n. Ough-

skua GulIs Are Raised BY the Natives
of Foua Island.

of Foula Island.
The great Skua gulls have been
reared by the natives of Foula, one
of the Shetland Isles to kill eagles.
These birds breed In the Shetlands,
and the inhabitants of the far-away
and lonely island carefully rear and
preserve these birds in order to rid
the island of the eagles which COM
init so many depredations. The mag
nificent red sandstone cliffs that skirt
the northwestern coast became a fav-
orit haunt of the eagles. At that in
accessible spot they increased so rap
idly that they became a terror to the
natives living there. The Skua gulls
are also strong and fierce, and have
become the inveterate foe of the
eagles. In battle the gulls are nearly
always victorious, and so the inhabi-
tants of Foula made provision for
feeding and caring for the Skua gulls,
which, though formidable to their
feathered enemies are very peaceful
and docile when brought into contact
with man. The great Skua is a splen.
did example of robber gull deriving
its food chiefly by victimizing or even
killing other sea fowl. 1t measures
about two feet in length; the plumage
Is predominantly brown, with white

FOR A LARGER NAVY.
Secretary Long And Admiral Dewey
Talk to House Committee,

hin W TIouoS SofltIittScs
Before the house naval affairs com.
mittea, Mr.. Long, secretary Of the
navy, argued in favor of three 10000
ton cruisers. three 8.000-ton cruisers
and twelve gunboats, while Admiral
Dewey spoke for three battleships in
place Of the twelve gunboats.
Secretary Long said 1t would be i'm
possible to reduce the navy to its
former peace footing, because of the
necessity of protecting Americas po-
sition In the Orient. He also advised
the repeal OF the law limiting the
price on armor-plate.
Admiral Dewey greatly favored the
sheating of ships. Gen. Otis had ac-
quired enough gunboats in the Philip
pines, he said, to make additional
building Of these unnecessary at this
time.
