WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-The first
class battleship Kentucky, now in Med
iterranean waters, has been ordered ito
touch at Smyrna, Turkey, on her way to
the Philippines. The Kentucky has been
in Mediterranean waters for some time,
has made a stop at Algerian port and as
now at Naples. She is going to Manila
via the Suez canal route and is in COM
mand of Captain Colby NJ. Chester. The
Kentucky's presence in Turkish waters
will be coincident with renewed efforts
ON the part of the administration to col
lect from the Turkish government pay
ment of the indemnity claimed by the
United States for the destruction of mis-
sionary property in that country some
years ago.
These claims have been pending for
long time. The payment of the indemnity
was urged in turn by Ministers Angel
and Straus, and Mr.. Griscom, the'Amer-
lean charge, now at Constantinople, has
been persistent in his demands for a'set-
tement, but thus far apparently without
any definite assurance that the claims
will be paid The claims approximate IN
amount 100000.
Smyrna lies at the head of the gulf OF
that name, has large poptilation,and for
centuries has been the most important
center of trade in the Levant. The city
lies out of the ordinary line of travel to
the SueZ canal.
Naval officers are proud of the splen-
did battleship Kentucky, which only re-
Gently has been launched. She has dis
placement of go tons, an indicated
horsepower of 10000 and has % guns
in her main battery. Much admira-
ton has been expressed for her appear
ance at the places she has stopped and
the detour to Smyrna is said in official
quarters to be for the purpose of showing

Lewiston's Retail Trade.

The importance OF Lewiston as
trading center is often 4 matter OF
wonder to the casual observer. The
retail trade OF this city is very
large. The prediction has been
common for years that the trade Of
the miners. farmers and stockmen
would be cut of from Lewiston 10y
interior trading points. This. pes
simistic cry reached its height
when the railroad was extended up
the Clearwater district. But this
trade still comes TO Lewiston. The
farm wagon has taken the place of
the freight wagon. The wholesale
trade has grown tenfold in year,
but the retail trade keeps apace.
The railroads brought better times
to the miners, farmers and stock
men. They all have money now
They have been able to accumulate
considerable sums, even sufficient
to pay for half years supplies at
a time. All those who found it
impossible to save money ahead in
the past traded at the country
store. Now those who have from
$50 to $500 TO pay for household
supplies hitch up their teams and
come to the metropolis and buy al
one time supplies to last till after
harvest. These teams are seer
daily returning loaded with al
kinds of merchandise. The rail
roads have developed maLy inter
ests in the interior. The needs 0
the district have been greatly in
creased. All OF this increase doe
not 60 out OF Lewiston, but
portion OF the increase goes from
here, enough to swell the trade O
this city to great proportions. TIL
more convenient the markets ar
made for tie people by railroad
extension the greater will be tn
number of the residents who vii
be able to make regular tradin,
trips TO this metropolis. Lewiston
retail field is being extended b,
the upbuilding Of even the town
OF the interior. Any condition tina
will make markets for the product
of the country will increase thi
trade.

The balance of trade in favor of
the United States during the pres
ent administration has reached the
incredible sum of ST ASA, 900, 900,
an amount that passes the power
of comprehension. The balance of
trade in favor of the United States,
during all the administrations that
preceded that of Mckinley, from
Washington to Cleveland inclusive,
was $3.50, 600, 900, To put the
matter in another way, the three
years of the Mckinley administra.

ST, 100, 900, 900 greater than was
accumulated during the century
preceding his Inauguration. The

to change such a certainty foi

The fate Of Steunenberg is writ
ten OIL the political bill boards over
the State generally In the Occur
d'Alenes the popu.ists and demo
Gratis united in an anti Steunenberg
organization and polled a heavy
majority vote against the permit
policy. The permit system lost its
force as political measure for
which it was inaugurated in the
Occur d Alenes. An anti-Steun-
enberg sentiment had drawn the
democrats of that county TO the
populist party. The permit sys-
tenn was intended to dive the pop
ulists out of the county and these
to replace with plastic tools for
Steunenberg's hands. The popu-
lists have gone, but the democrats
are refractory. They vote against
the machine that put the political
power in their hands. Steunenberg
and Sinclair are both dropped like
McGinty into the dead sea of poll
tics, if we are to judge from the
returns from their own party pri-
maries in the Occur d Aleues.
