JAPAN PREFERS
 DUR LOCOMOTIVES Interesting Resume of Trade With Progressive Empire U. s. LEADS IN MACHINERY Japan Has Found That Cheap Labor is Unable to Compete With
 Machinery Sent from This Country.
U. s. LEADS IN MACHINERY

Washington, May u,-An interesting re- sume of the trade of the United States with Japan last year is afforded by an extract from Commercial Relations of 1901 which was made public today by Frederic Emory, chief of the bureau of foreign commerce of the State Depart ment The inability of cheap labor to compete with machinery, 1t Is stated, is shown in the fact that the greater part of Japan's exports hitherto have consist ed of raw materials while the largest item of manufactured goods has been cotton yarn which is shipped almost ex- clusively to China, country noted for it's cheap labor. One of the most hope full features of the situation Is Japan to- day is the recognition of this fact by her educated classes and beneficial changes are expected in the near future. Japan will thus offer growing market for ma chinery. The United States already leads in the exports of electric light ap- | paratus, mining machinery, paper-mak-ng machinery watch movements, watch cases, and bicycles to Japan; in weaving machinery spinning machinery, fire en- zines and pumps, tools and implements of farmers and mechanics sewing ma- chimes, photographic apparatus, we hold second place; but our proportion of these exportations is advancing steadily.
 The revival of business in Japan, conse- quent upon the resumption of traffic with China, will result in an enlarged de- mand for raw cotton and cotton yarns and the satisfactory adjustment of the finances is expected to give impetus to railroad construction, ship building and the manufacture of iron and steel fnci- dentally to increase the importation of many articles.
 Inquiry made in Japan as to the rela- tive merits of English and American To- com otives proves that, general conditions being equal, the American locomotive is preferred. The United States sends about two-thirds of the iron rails i'm ported to Japan and the same proportion of the nails, having won this last trade from Germany. We also sent the largest valuation of iron pipes and tubes to Ja- pan last year. Exports of type-writers from our country represent over eighty per cent of the total. Experts are try ing to perfect a machine in the Japanese language as there would be quite de- mand for the Japanese typewriters.

PEACE BELIEVED
 ID BE FAR AWAY
English Papers Dot No Look on
 Situation GheerfuIly
TERMS WERE VERY LIBERAL
Kitchener and MiIner Offered to Pay Literally for Burned Farms, and Conferences Will Not
 be MoIested.

London. May 1.-The Times this morn- ing relates the course of the peace nego- tiations as follows:
 On the receipt of the Dutch correspond ence intimating that Great Britain was ready to listen to proposals from the Boers in the field, acting President of the Transvaal Schalk-Burger came to the British lines and asked permission to consult with MT Steyn. former president of the Orange Free State. This led to the Boer delegates going to Pretoria. Their first proposal to Lord Kitchener and Lord Milner, the British commission CT in South Africa, was that the repub- lies should merely concede all the de- mands made by Great Britain regarding the franchise etc.. before the war
 The British government, in reply, re- ferred them to the Middleburg confer ence. as the maximum of possible con sessions and refused permission to the Boers to consult their friends in Europe. Eventually, while refusing an armistice' Lord Kitchener undertook not to molest the burghers while they were actually holding meetings with the eommanooes to authorize tho leaders to negotiate on the basis of the surrender of independ- ence, but they were told it was useless to return to Pretoria without being armed with full powers to negotiate.
 MT Schalk-B Burger assented to this put Mr. Steyns acquiescence seemed doubt full
 Mail advices received from Pretoria, continues the Times, declares that Lord Kitchener and Milner promised generous compensation for burned farms, raised no difficulty with regard to the pardon of banished leaders, and gave assurances that the question of amnesty for rebels did not present insuperable difficulties.
 The Times, in an editorial on this mat ter, Is not hopeful that peace will be the outcome of negotiations and fears that the result of the election of a member Of Parliament for Burry, Lancashire, will influence the Boers to further resistance.

STATE OF AFFAIRS
 CREATES CRAVE ALARM.

London, May 12.-The latest reports re- oeived here say that the state of affairs at St. Vincent creates grave alarm, espe- cially as dispatches from the island of Dominica, forwarded Sunday, reported that the Soufriere volcano in St Vincent was still in active eruption. Four small boats loaded with refugees from Grand Rivere, Martinique, lave arrived at Do- minica In a pitiable condition. They re- port that six other boats left that village at the same time. It is not known what bee anne of them. The very slight discrep- ancieS in the various accounts of the vol canic outbreak in the West Indies which have reached London leave only a. shadow of hope that the later details will greatly minimize the extent of the eeize the British papers that even worse news may come.
 The Standard, in an editorial this morn ing, says:
 Tt is only too clear that the area af- fected Is larger than known at first. If Dominica and St. Lucia have not suffered greatly there is reason to fear that their turn may come; nor is 1t by any means certain that corresponding convulsion5 low on the mainland of Central and South America. In the presence of such forces man is helpless, and we can only prepare to relieve the survivors as speedily as possible.

HALF WASTED FLAGS
 ON PARIS BUILDINGS.

Paris, May 12.-Even now, when fuller details of the Martinique disaster are arriving, the Parisians sh6w few outward signs of interest in the affair. From the appearance of the streets where the peo- pie are thronging the cafes and other places of public resort. 1t would never be supposed that half of one of Frances most fiourishing colonies had been wiped out of existence.
 The only signs of public mourning are the half masted flags over the govern ment buildings. The people present their usual holidaymaking appearance.
 The Temps is an editorial this morning remarks that so many matters of public interest have occurred this week, rail- road accidents, the disaster at Martinique, a huge swindling case and the elections that they neutralize each other, while had they come singly each one would have monopoliged the public mind.
 French Flagship Sails.
 New Orleans, May 1.-The French flag. Ship Tage with Admiral Serva in com. mand will leave here at daybreak fol Martinique. The admiral issued a quick call for contributions and will take a long about S40OO in cash as well as a great deal of provisions and clothing, furnished by Governor Heard, Mayor Capdeville and the public in general

 New York, May 1.-The steam yacht Aquillo, belonging to William P.

The in dications are that she will be followed by mum Der of larger steam yachts be- longing to this port, including some of those now out of commission. At the New York Yacht Club today several of the guests discussed the feasibility of making the trip at once.
 Praises for United Staes.
 Paris, May 12-The Gaulois, referring to the vote of $100,O0O by the United States Congress for the aid of the Martinique sufferers and the sending of an American cruiser to the island says:
 'Of all friendly manifestations the most brilliant and the most touching are certainly those of the United States The great people beyond the ocean have again proven that the feelings of humanity and generosity are among the noble qualities upon which they pride themselves. This is a very fine example of human solidar- ity, and touches us profoundly, and we are happy to note 1t in this unforgetable circumstance"

Disaster In Apla Harbor.

In March, 1889, the great storm in the harbor of Apia. Samoa, electrified the world with it's appalling loss of life. The German gunboats Olga, Eber and Adler and the United States men-of-war Nipsic, Trenton and Vandal went to pieces on the reefs, and fifteen merchant vessels either went to the bottom or stranded. One hum dred and forty-two men from the war ships in the harbor were lost.
 Japan has proven itself verit able home of earthquakes, the latest gigantic loss of life occurring in 1891, and resulted in a loss of 4OOO lives, 300 injured, and 0,0OO homes destroyed.
 The great Johnstown flood was the first of two great disasters in recent years which have come home to the people of the United States with crushing force. On May 29 1889. by the bursting of the dam of the Conemaugh river, Johnstown and surrounding towns were swept out of existence, and a loss of life approximating 10000 souls took place in the twinkling of an eye.

Mayor Withdraws Opposition in Rapid
Transit Board.

The New York Sun of today says: The
rapid transit commission readopted yester-
day the PENNSYLVANIA tunnel franchise in
the form in which it was first granted, that
Is. without an eight hour clause, a prevail
ing rate of wages clause or an arbitration
clause. The unchangeds franchise was
passed unanimously, both Mayor Low and
Controller Grout voting for it. At last
weeks meeting of the ,icommission the
mayor and the controllerl took a stand in
favor of the arbitration clause, as a COM
promise with the labor unions. Before
voting for the franchise yesterday the
MAYOR and the contrDflef explained the
changes in their attitude. I
The mayor had known asince last Tues
day that the Pennsylvania company would
abandon the tunnel Project rather than
yield. On that day President Cassatt called
on the mayor and made that clear j..
Controller Grout said he concurred In the
mayors statement. 1--WE have now reached
a point, he explained, where 1t Is to be
determined whether the whole franchise
shall be thrown overheard or granted with
out the labor clauses.
The motion was then unanimously adopt
ed The contract will now go to the alder
men, where the labor agitation will un-
doubtedly be renewed. Borough President
Cantor refused to comment upon the action
of the commission or to venture upon any
prediction as to the possible action of the
aldermen.
The Merchants Association sent out yes-
terday 10000 blank forms for taxpayers to
sign protesting against the holding up Of
the tunnel by the aldermen.
