HERBERT GLADSTONE
SPEAKS TO ENGLAND

London, April Herbert Gladstone,
member of Parliament for West Leeds.
has issued letter to his constituents
containing n striking Indictment of the
government which the Daily News de-
clares will be welcomed by all Liber-
ais as n bugle call to action and as
worthy of his fathers son. He appears
to have struck note on which n ma
jority of the Liberals can unite against
what even the Conservative organs ad-
nit to be the weak management of the
party in power" The letter Is short.
Its quality can be judged from the fol-
lowing excerpts:
1.-THE war in South Africa will cost
not far short of f2OO.OOO,0OO and the
settlement seems as far off as ever.
There are problems to be solved in the
far East of the first magnitude and the
government appears destitute of n
clear, settled policy. Already the huge
expenditure for the army and navy Is
going up by leaps and bounds and will
force Europe to add to its ruinously
large ornaments. Where is 1t to end?
1.-THE Irish question is more to the
front than ever and the government
seems to view 1t with n pathetic i'm
potence.
''The advocates of the Liberals are
not endeavoring to take up the govern
ment's burden until they have exacted
conditions that their policy will not
again be stultified by the rejection of
their measure by the House of Lords"
Whether the conditions should be ex-
acted from the King or whether the
Liberals must frankly appeal to the
country for the practical abolition of
the House of Lords is not quite clear.
But any way, as the News says, "it is
bold and somewhat startling sugges-
tion in which Mr.. Gladstone seems to
have put his finger on the weak spot
Of modern Liberalism"

GROWTH OF UNCLE SANS
MARVELLOUS EXPORT TRADE

Washington, April 1.-Exports of
iron and steel manufactures from the
United States continue to increase. An
analysis of the February export fig
ures has just been completed by the
treasury bureau of statistics, and it
shows that the total for the eight
months ending with February, 1901, is
six and half millions in excess of the
unparalleled figure of last year. and
nearly three times the total for the
eight months ending with February,
1891. thus showing an increase of ten
per cent. in n single year and 33 per
cent. in the decade.
In the eight months ending with Feb
ruary, 1891, iron and steel formed but
three per cent. of the total domestic eX-
ports from the United States: in the
eight months just ended they form
eight per cent. being SS1, 500, 1872,
against S75,O53,T6S in the correspond
ing months of the fiscal year 1900, and
S1S,S23,3Si in the same months of 1891.
Not only is the total larger in the
aggregate, but it covers greater di-
versity of products. thus showing that
the manufacturers of the United States
are NOT only increasing their output,
but each year fabrlcating larger pro-
portion of their product and thereby
securing for themselves and the labor
employed thereon greater share of
the profits accruing from such manu-
facture.
A decade ago such articles as type
writers. bicycles, electrical machinery,
cash registers. laundry machines,
pumps and pumping machinery. shoe
machinery and other articles involving
n high degree OF manufacture had no
place in the export schedules of the
United States; now they constitute an
important part of our annual exportn-
tions of iron and steel and are steadily
increasing both in volume and in the
number of foreign markets in which
they find profitable sales. In 1891 no

What is now called the Stubbs-Ga-
brin capital punishment bill passed
second reading in the Senate and was
recommended for third reading and
passage. AS agreed to in the Senate
the bill is very different from what it
was when 1t left the House. As
amended, the bill provides that the
Jury in any case where conviction of
murder in the first degree is had, shall
determine whether the penalty shall
be death or life imprisonment. The
death penalty shall be inflicted by
hanging, in the penitentiary. not less
than ninety days after sentence, and
on some day in certain week set by
the judge. the day to be kept secret.
Publishing anything more than the
fact of the execution by any newspa-
per is made misdemeanor. 1t is pro-
vided that no death sentence shall be
imposed on conviction solely by cir
cumstantial evidence, nor upon per
son less than eighteen years old at the
time of conviction. The amendments
were the result of the all-night session,
and were proposed by the minority as
n compromise and accepted by the ma
jority. The opponents of the bill
agreed that IL the amendments were
accepted they would make no further
opposition to the bill than by their
votes and would provide the votes TO
make the bill a special order for

about two and one-half million dollars,

typewriters We're not separately shown
in 1891, but by 1901 the exports for
eight months had reached $1,IS5,S21,
an increase of $6O.O0O over the preced

creased in export value over fifty per
cent. during the decade; locomotives
900 per cent, printing presses over 300
per cent. Every item in the entire iron
schedule shows substantial increase
in 1901 as compared with 1901, but in
n few instances there are decreases as;
compared with 1900, presumably due
to the advanced prices consequent upon
