Lesson of Indiana Elections.

The local elections held ia Indiana
are Of unusual interest. The attempt
has been made 10 show that the Repub-
ilcan party would suffer at the polls
because of the legislation enacted for
the benefit of Porto Rico. In all of the
protests which We're made by those
who did not understand the situation
those made in Indiana were most VIC
lent and most numerous. The fact that
the Indiana Congressman who voted
for he Porto Rican bill were renom-
mated. and again that the Republican
State convention Endorsed all legisla-
ton enacted fer the insular possessions.
did not influence the opinions Of the
croakerS They insisted that it was enc
thing - carry platform through a
convention and another TO secure its
approval at the hands Of the voters.
The elections show clearly thar the
Republicans are not only not losing
woes on account 81 Porto Rico-~or any
thing else-but that the party is strong

MR.. CRAMPS VIEWS.
SHiP6uiLOER SHOWS GREAT
BRlTAiN'S MAiNSTAY.
Earnings of Her Shipping Makes Good
Her Enormous Adverse Balance of
Trade-of This the United States Con-
tributes Large Amount.

-Four generations of the Cramp fam
lily have Iii succession contributed to
Cheir present pre-eminence in Ameri-
can ship building. Their Philadelphia
ship yard now ranks in extent and out
put with the best in Europe, its prod
uct being always regarded as unex-
~elled in finish and efficiency. Mr..
c aarles Ii. Cramp is the present head
the family and its ship building
company. On this account, and the
weight of authority given to his utter
ances on the subject of ship building,
as we'll as the probable early passage
Of the shipping bill what he says is of
timely value:
Great Britain's imports in 1897, ="
said Mr.. Cramp, when asked for brief
statement, exceeded her exports by
$3.50, 000, 600, which is the largest adj
verse balance of trade in British his
tory. How does she make it good
Chiefly through her vast shipping. Let
me explain; At the last meeting of the
directorate of the Peninsular and ORR
entail Steamship Company largest
in the world, by the way-its president
placed it's average earnings at $50 per
gross ton, and which, in view of the
competition to which 1t is subjected,
may be regarded as the minimum per
ton earning of British steamships. In
formation from other authentic sources
indicates that the average earning of
the entire British steam fleet, consist
ing Of 100000 tons, will not fall short
ofS70per ton per year. The British steam
feet. therefore, annually earns $780,
100000 a year. Her sea going sailing
feet, consisting of RIBS, $40 tons, earns
between S45 and $it0 per ton per year,
or say IN the aggregate S130,000,000.
The annual pi offs of banking, commits
sions and insurance in connectiC.l with
this shipping are about IA per cent. of
the traffic earnings. This shows: Steam

Exports of Manufactures.

For the nine months ending with

lures We're $313, 27S 66S, against $l63.-
1S7, 1886 for the nine months ending
March, 1896, the total for the entire
period having thus nearly doubled in
that time. For the full fiscal year it
now seems prol able that the total eX-
ports of manufactures will consider
ably exceed AGO million dollars. while
the total for the fiscal year 1899 was
$33S. 6TT5, 53S; for 1897, S27T, 2S5 ,391; and
for 1895 but $1S3,595, 743.
This increase is found in almost ev-
cry important line of manufactures
Scientific instruments show an increase
in the nine months in question of from
$3.O71,75S to $4. 1904 fiber manufac-

The salient features OF the mems de
mands. which the transit company .e-
fused to grant, are briefly as follows;
That all conductors, motormen. gripmcu.
and all men employed in the sheds shall
be compelled 20 be members Of the union:
that the officers of the union, together
with the officers Of the company, shall
have full power to adjust all differences
that may arise, and chat in the event
of their failing to agree, shall. If mutually
agreed to, place the case before three ar
bitrators That any member suspended
by the union shall be suspended by the

the union requests his reinstatement,

than one year. shall, upon his retirement
from such office, have his old place with

while the passengers fed terrified and
preferred to join the big stream Of pedes-

was not confined to the men alone. Wom-

the strikers hurled stones and epithets
of contempt at those who tried to handle
