association, with B. Warkentin Of New

some time a movement to import cargo

feet deep with three stories Of brick. The
work Of construction win begin as soon

already being made for the building and
It Is anticipated that the structure win be

The lots on the corner at the present
time have frame buildings on them. The
corner building is occupied by Park
bursts grocery store. For a l0ng fife
these buildings have been on that corner
and for the greater portion of the time
since their erection grocery stores have
occupied the corner. The new structure
which Is planned for that corner VIII
greatly enhance that side of the street.
On tho opposite side Of the street there
are good buildings. One 81 the buildings
is the Carey hotel and another is the
Aherne drug store building.

TRADE WITH RUSSIA
It's Falling Off Claimed by a ST.
Petersburg Paper.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
st. Petersburg, July 4. - The daily or
gan of the ministry of finance publishes
statistics of the falling off in the American
export trade, which. it is stated, began in
October, 1900, and became more marked in
April, 1901. No mention is made of the
Russian discriminating duties which be-
came effective in March and it is not clear
what the article is intended to prove.
Attention is directed to the fact that the
falling off was especially marked in April
steel and iron exports. The article says:
The decrease Of the exports from the
United States, first noticed in October last
attained in April, 1901, a rather important
figure OF 100000 roubles less than during
the corresponding period Of the year 1900.
The total amount of exported articles from
America was $34, ,416, ,279, or 29.15 per cent of
the whole export of the United States,
against $50, ,424,269, or 1894 per cent of the
total export in April 1900 The total amount
of the export for ten months of the fiscal
year 1901 shows a decrease of more than
$13,000,000. against the items of 1899 1900
($39s, ,31O,614, against 1925 ,671, ,2Os) Building
articles and steel exported April, 1901,
amounted to only SPA, All, against $S4S,SS of
the same month in 1900; steel wires to
$685.. .567 against SSH, ,44S in the past year;
small iron articles for building business to
$780, .S01, against sS9S,O4s; machinery to work
metals, $269,5S7, against $612, 2S7 of the pre-
vious year; pumps, $193, ,29S, against $263, 1874; ;
sewing machines. $780, 097, against 1894, 322;
other machines, $1.5S0,957. against 81, 1,S52,116

VIII Take Longest Trips of
Any Warships.
HIGH STEAM CAPACITY
Combination of Three Screws the
Chief Feature.
GREAT SPEED TO BE ATTAINED
Voyage of Ten Thousand Miles
Without n stop for COaling
Purposes.

Washington, July 1S.-Plans now under
consideration for the two new armored
cruisers authorized by congress contem-
plate such a new departure in steaming
capacity that those ships will make voy-
ages exceeding those of the ships now in
commission, and equalling, if not exceed
ing, the long distance trips of any naval
warships afoat.
Although the plans are not finally
passed upon, the main features are pretty
well worked out. They provide for a COM
bination Of three screws, so separated
that any one can work Independently. BY
using all three screws, the ship could de-
velop great speed, from % to % knots, so
that she would be listed as a 23-knot ship.
But all the three screws would be used
only In case Of emergency. For the pur-
poses Of making long voyages, only one
screw would be used at time 1t is es-
timated that this would give a speed Of
10 knots an hour. Alternating the
screws, the big craft could make a voyage
OF at least 10000 miles without a stop to
reeoal, and at the same time she would
always have her three screws in readiness
to develop p or 23-knot speed in case
of necessity.
