TUE RICE INDUSTRY.
Secretary Wilson WIN Send nm Expert Over
tho World TO Investigate Important
Matters Connected with It.

Washington, April 17.-Secretary
Wilson has decided to send out an ex-
pert to scour the rice-growing coun-
tries of the world and thoroughly in
vestigate important matters connect
ed with the industry. This mission
Is to stretch into the civilized and I'M
civilized parts of the world. 1t is pro-
posed to hunt out the rice-growing
countries, ascertain what they feed
both to their beef animals and the
work teams, what rice can be grown
on high land that cannot be irri-
gated, what legumes can be used for
forage for animals used in the rice
industry and host of other kindred
questions. Great success in rice
growing is reported in the rice fields
along the gulf coast Of Louisiana and
Texas and Secretary Wilson predicts
that year hence will witness the
production in the United States of all
the rice required within the country.
The rice consumption per capita will
increase very materially, he says.

WARNED AGAINST LIQUOR.
Archbishop Keano. of the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Dubuque, May Refuse Sac
raments to Saloonkeepers.

Dubuque, Ia, April 17.-In his SER
mon Mt st. Patrick's church on the
occasion of confirming several hun
dred children, Archbishop Keane took
occasion to warn the little ones
against the drink habit. He spoke
in the most solemn terms. He told
the children how easy they might be
led astray and implored them never
to drink or even smell or taste alco-
holic liquors. He said it was his am
bition that no Catholic should be en-
gagged in the liquor business. Conclud-
ing, he said: up to the present time
the only argument I have advanced in
support of my view on temperance has
been moral suasion, by word and ex-
ample. If, however, in the near fu-
ture this shall prove inadequate to
the obtaining of the end in view, 1t
is my intention to instruct my priests
not to administer the sacraments Of
the church to those engaged in the
liquor business, q business inconsist-
ent with the name and practices OF
Catholicity. Therefore, no Catholic
should engage in the liquor business"

TRADE BALANCE GROWING.
For the Fiscal Year 1t Will he About $780,

ing While Imports Decrease.

Washington, April 17.-For this part
of the fiscal year, with three months
yet to hear from, the balance of trade
in favor of the United States is over
$500, 100000, and at the present rate
the balance for the year will be near
ly, If not quite, $700,000,0OO on the
right side of Uncle Sans ledger. The
figures up to March 81. just finished,
are so stupendous rs to stagger one.
For the first nine months of this year
the exports of merchandise from the
United States amounted to $i.1i0.170,-
72s, while the imports We're $509,4s3,-
391. This means u favorable balance
of trade of $54O,6S7,337. This sum,
enormous as it is, measures the fact
that the United States has sold to for
eign nations just that much more than
it has bought from them. The bal
ance is $12s,s32,671 larger than for

FOR NICARAGUA ROUTE.
Isthmian Canal Commission More Strongly
Convinced Than Ever That 1t Is the
Most Feasible Waterway.

Washington, April 1.-THE isthmian
canal commission has just completed
a session which practically concludes
its labors. The final report has been
passed upon and will be out in about
two months. On authority it can be
said that the conclusions of the COM
missioners are stronger even than
their opinions on the preliminary re-
port for the Nicaraguan route. BY
the boring it is found that the depth
to bedrock at Panama is 12s feet, while
at Nicaragua it is 95 feet, material
advantage for the latter. The Pana-
ma dam must be one-half mile long.
The Nicaraguan dam calls for 1900
feet length. 1t is found that the ma.
sonry of the Panama dam calls for
$15,O00,000. and the earthwork for S.
100000. The Nicaraguan dam can be
