LONDON. Jan. 29.-The Times, in an
editorial dealing with an important and
perplexing question of true significance"
the excess in value regularly exhibited by
England's imports over her exports. espe-
cially looking TO the fact that during
the last three and a half years the United
States have exported over 100000 more
merchandise, gold and silver than they
fn1ported-says: 1T Is not easy, yet 1t is a
matter OF the utmost moment, TO ascertain
whether as a nation We are still saving
and living within our incomes or whether
we are beginning to live on the accumu-
lated savings Of former times If the latter
Is correct. the outlook is distinctly disquiet-
ifsg for the countrys commercial future.
Considering that some three-fourths of the
American excess exports have come TO
this country IL is very desirable to get ac-
curate and definite statistics as TO our
invisible exports. Mr.. Gage has thrown
out this idea OF ascertaining the move
ments OF, securities between the two coun-
tries 1t Is all the more important for Eng
land. and the suggestions Of a fnancier of
Mr.. Cages experience should not be lightly
set aside as impracticable.

Congress Must Enact Philippine Laws
and Consider Cuban Constitution.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-At he Cab
met meeting to-day such information
was at hand bearing upon the provisions of
the Cuban Constitution, discussed at
length and the opinion was expressed that
the completed document would reach
Washington about Feb. Is when il will
be placed before Congress.
1t is known that the President regards
prompt action in this matter as of very
great Importance and would not hesitate
to call Congress together I'm extra session
TO consider IL, should it appear necessary.
The need for prompt action on the Spooner
Philippine bill is regarded as scarcely less
urgent than the disposition of the Cuban
Constitution, and the statement is made on
high authority that in the event of the
failure of these measures to receive the
consideration of Congress an extra ses-
sion is almost inevitable.

MERCHANTS Nj: EXCURSION.
Augusta Is to Have One and Crowds
Will Be Ttcre.
The Idea Received With Enihusi.s en-. Date MOI
Vet Decided Upon.

Plans are we'll formulated and II is
praoticalIy settled that Augusta will
have Merchants excursion. The date
Is not settled upon. bua a canvass is
being made OF all store keepers on both
sides of the river and they are accept
ing the idea with enthusiasm. The
matter was first preached To the public
by the Journal. and the interest has
sp. cad with such rapidity and now it
is really an assured fact.
No date has yet been decided upon
but it is likely 10 be the first part Of
the coming month. Residents of the
city and surrounding towns and sub
urls should watch the. columns Of the
Journal for the announcement of the
date in order that they NAV do their
purchasing ard other business before
that time. 1t will probably be impos-
S;ble to buy as much as a potato or a
paper of pins in Augusta on the day
of the Merchants excursion.
AS there is sure to be an immense
crowd. the present plan is to charter Il
boat and go to the Islands. If the tide
conditions are right the boat will be
boarded at Augusta. otherwise the
elCctricS will be taken to Gardiner and
the oxcu. sionists will find the boat
there.
The idea Of Merchants excursion
should receive the hearty support Of
every resident of Augusta. The clerks
and merchants have worked through
the hot weeks of July and need q day
of recreation when all thoughts of
work ram bp a abandoned and otbino
thought of but having good time.
The plan is receiving the support OF
the merchants. the clerks and every
body else who has heard of it and is
sure tn be a go.

Reports are in circulation TO the eff
feet that a, great deal of bogus money
is in circulation and people are warned

former State bank money was printed.
In this particular case il happens 10
be the old Stat Bank of New Bruins
wick. \. j. The notes are about the
size of national bank note and among
people unaccuStomed to handling much
money might easily pass. The United
States treasury department is of the
opinion that several hundred thousand
dollars worth of these have been put
in circulation. The cuiprts are prac-
tically free from fear of punishment
as the statutes relating to Conterfeiting
does not apply to them as the notes are
not counterfeits Of United States paper
