Felt Thnt No News II Good News j"
This Case.
WASHINGTON, July 9. "A slightly
more hopeful feeling for the safety Of
the legationers in Pekin is apparent in
official circles. The hope is not founded
on any official dispatches which have
reached the state department, as moth
ing has been received during the day
from the consular representatives OF the
United States in China. The cumulative
statements, however, which are daily
printed from various portions OF the
empire, reporting the diplomatic corps,
with the exception of the German min
lister, as safe up to within certain specl-
fed time, together with the absence OF
any corroborative proof Of their MUIR
der, is partially responsible tor the
slight hope which prevails that the
ministers are yet alive. The statements
purporting to come from Sir Robert
Hart, the English Chinese inspector OF
customs, are regarded as the best in
formation which have been received.
While showing that conditions were
desperate, the dispatches have not been
entirely without hope. .

still further reduction would be made,
so that the rates of duty on articles
from the United Kingdom would be SO 1-s
per cent less than those from other parts
of the world. While the effect of the
third reduction of 1914 per cent. which
went into operation July 1. 1900, cannot
yet be determined. it is practicable to
compare the imports of manufactures
into Canada from the United Kingdom
and the United States respectively dur
ing the years ending June 80, 1898, 1893
and 1900, and thus determine whether
the advantages which the manufac-
turers of the United Kingdom have had
over those. OF the United States during
that time, have had a perceptible effect
upon the relative growth of the imports
of Canada from the two countries, the
United Kingdom and the United States
BY tables of statistics showing the inn

features from the United Kingdom in
the years ending June 80, 1898, 1899 and
1900 and the imports of like number of
manufactured articles from the United
States during the same term, it will be
seen that in these articles, which may
properly be termed representative man
ufactures the increase in importations
from the United Kingdom to the fiscal
year 1900 compared with 1898. was 90
per cent. while the increase from the
United States for the same period was
81 per cent.
Incidentally it may also be mentioned
that the total exports to British North

TRADE WITH CANADA.

The Canadian preferential tariff in
favor of the United Kingdom has not
had the expected effect of reducing the
proportion which the United States sup
plies Of manufactures imported into
Canadian territory. A copy of the
Canadian Manufacturer" just re-
ceived by the treasury department
bureau of statistics, sharply calls atten-
ton to the fact that imports Of duti-
able articles into Canada from the
United States in the fiscal year 1899 ag-
gregated over $44. 000.0 and from Great
Britain less than $2S, 600, 600, and that
the United States is furnishing a much
larger amount of manufactures of iron
and steel than the United Kingdom, and
adds:
THE preponderance OF trade is over
whelrningly in favor of American man
ufactures. and tariff preference in favor
of British goods to the contrary not
withstanding. American manufacturers
are taking the cream Of the business.
Is it possible that British manufacturers
are entirely unable to compete in the
Canadian market?"
The Canadian tariff was in 1897 so ad-
justed that the duty on articles enter

A campaign document is reported to
be circulating in the east in the form
of a handful, of which the following is
a copy:
In October of 1900 a certain banker
having 100000 on deposit in his bank,
and believing Mr. Bryan will be elected,
takes the $106, 900 to Wall street, and
purchases 100000 Mexican silver dollars
and finer than the American silver dol
lar. He then stores his Mexican silver
dollars in his vaults
In March. 1901, Mr.. Bryan being pres
ident, and a free silver coinage law en-
acted. the banker takes his 200 600 Mex
lean silver dollars to the United States
mint and has them coined into 200. 900
American silver dollarsl
He then issues a notice to the depos-
1tors to meet him in the bank and ad-
dresses them as follows: MY friends
in my bank S106 600. and as I intend to
retire from business herewith give you
your $l06,000 in bright, new American
silver dollars and you will note that
have $4,000 left for myself! Before
start on my pleasure trip to Europe
kindly tell me whom 1 should thank for
this handsome present2''
One man might go out and buy 200 900
Mexican dollars at So cents each, but
when the second man attempted it, he
probably would find that the price Of
Mexicans had advanced. Perhaps some
body has been making the experiment.
and that is why Mexican dollars have
been advancing in market value stead
lily for some time.

COL. HOLIDAY MONUMENT
Directors This Afternoon Inspect
Model Now Here.

The directors of the Holiday Monu-
ment association were called to meet at
the Commercial club rooms this after
noon at o'clock.
The model for a monument Of Col.
Holiday as planned by a New York
sculptor, was viewed by the committee
appointed for this purpose at Library
hall Sunday afternoon The likeness Of
Col Holiday is poor.
It is hardly likely that the matter of
letting the contract will come up at the
meeting this afternoon as it is the de-
sire of the committee to see the work
and hear the prices of other sculptors,
so that in letting the contract the COM
mittee may do so intelligently.
The object of the committee is not to
get the model for the least possible mon
ey- On the contrary the best statue OBJ
tainable is desired, but the committee
does not feel like paying an exorbitant
price.
As soon as the contract is made steps
will be taken to raise the amount of
money required to pay for the statue.

predict will be the craze for the winter

should win for it some popularity.
The step is easy to teach and to ex-
ecute, and the dance is an exceedingly
graceful one to watch. One of it's rec
concentrations is that it is performed
forward instead of sideways Persons
who are already good dancers will learn
it in five minutes, which ought to suit
adopts who are impatient OF prelimi-
