THE DIAMOND CRISIS.
European Traders Embarrassed and
Dismal Rumors Are AfIoat.

Brussels, March 4.-Numerous and con-
Trajectory reports are current here as To
the crisis in the diamond trade and the
newspapers refer to the impending fail
ures of several firms in the diamond bust
ness at Antwerp, Amsterdam and Lon
don. They allege that some diamond mer-
chants have been guilty of extensive de
New York.
The crisis is said to be due to the large
quantity of goods on warrant which can
only be disposed of at a loss.
The Message de Brusselles says that
the eXtradition of two men who fled to
New York with 5OO.G00 francs worth OF dia-
monds has been demanded.
A telegram received here, tonight. from
Antwerp says the diamond market is
calmer as a result of the proposals of
three diamond merchants to effect an ar
rangement with their creditors.

UNDER THE BAN.
Proprietary Medicines Taboed by
Pennsylvania Evangelical Churches.

Hazleton. Pa. March 4.-Proprietary
medicines were placed under the ban,
today, by the East Pennsylvania con-
ference of the Evangelical church
which is in session here. Resolutions
condemning the use of the patent prep
arations were unanimously adopted.
The resolutions aver that the govern
ment. instead of endeavoring to check
the growth of the liquor evil, appears
to be pandering to it's interests: that
unprincipled persons in order to get
gain have concocted compounds or So
called "'sure cures cure ais 'spe-
ciafics,' 'bitters' and the like, the base
of which is alcohol or often bad whis-
key which causes users to become ad-
dicted to strong drink" and that "as
q church we greatly deplore these con-
ditions and pledge ourselves to the sup
port of gospel temperance The work
of the w. C. r. L. was endorsed.

WILD WITH DELIGHT.
Japan Much Pleased Over the Alliance
+, With England.

Toxic, Japan, Feb. q, via Victoria
b. C., March 4.-Japan has gone wild
with delight over the conclusion of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance. There has
been an elaborate torchlight procession
at Toxic, besides the formal inter
change of congratulations at a joint
meeting held by the two houses of the
Diet at which Sir Claude Macdonald
the English minister, was present. Al
the various town in Japan special cele.
brations have already been held or are
in contemplation.
EX-Minister of Foreign Affairs Kate
touched the keynote of popular senti-
ment the other day, when in a speech
touching on the proper methods of re-
ceiving the news of the alliance, he
said that Japan should accept her po-
sition with all dignity. There SHOULD
be no question of using the opportunity
for asking England to aid in the in.
PRODUCTION of foreign capital into
Japan, he said. 1t would be fitting, Mr.
Kato suggested, that Japan signalize
the occasion by sending some represen-
tative warships to the naval review tc
be held at Spithead during King Ed
wards coronation.
This idea of Minister Kato's has
taken hold and today, it is reported
that Premier Katsura has obtained the
sanction of the Emperor to send first
class battleship and cruiser to the
Spithead naval demonstration. The
Chamber OF Commerce throughout the
country are preparing to send two rep
resentative merchants to attend the
coronation ceremonies.
Another feature. this spring, will be
the joint naval maneuvres by the Brit
ish and japanese fleets in the China
sea, in honor of the conclusion of the
alliance. The British were going to
hold maneuvres there anyway and it is
now proposed that their squadron shall
be reinforced from the Japanese fleet.
AS it happens Russia is preparing to
hold hawai- maneuvres in the same re-
gion about the same time and the CO.
incidence has been noted.

Chicago. by the executive officers Of the
Western roads. No action was taken in
regard to the Western Freight Bureau.
1t was contended that this was not a
pool or organization which could be
construed as being illegal, but simply a
statistical bureau for the compilation
of records and the issuance of tariffs.

notes on the reports of Prince Henry :
trip. He said:
His Majesty is in the highest degree
pleased with Prince Henry's reception
from his arrival in America until now
and especially with that accorded to him
by President Roosevelt and his family.
The Emperor has also expressed himself
as delighted with the enthusiasm of the
welcome to his brother"
The German newspaper men are i'm
menSely impressed with Prince Henry 5
bearing toward the newspaper men OF
the United States and believe that the
Emperor's reception of the influence of
the press on national opinion in the Unit
ed States will favorably affect the rela-
tioas of the crown to the home press.
Herr Bachem, the editor of the Cologne
Nolks Zcitung, in an article in which he
intimateS the previous conclusion, con-
trasts the social and political positions of
editors here and IN the United States,
where newspaper men are selected TO
serve as cabinet ministers and ambassa-
doris not because they are better educat-
ed or more able. but, Herr Bachem says,
because they receive higher salaries. He
thinks the visit will not modify the aspi-
rations of the United States which it is
conceded are. first, to break into Euro
pean markets while excluding Europe
from it's own markets and. second. to di-
vide the mastery of the seas with Great
Britain.

AWARE OF DANGER.
Columbia Preparing to Defend Capital
from Rebel Attack.

Washington. March 4-Advices from
the seats of war in South America are
meagre. Nothing has been heard OF the
reported insurgent naval operations on
the coast of Venezuela. But reports from
Colombia show that the government Is
thoroughly awakened to the formidable
character of the revolutionary outbreak
near the capital and that a large body
OF troops has been ordered from the
north to assist in the defence of the cap
ital. This withdrawal may have con-
siderable influence on the campaign on
the isthmus of Panama.

| beauty ought not to initiate against her
chances.
And right here there is no good reason
why we should pass Barbara Frietchie
by. She, too, talked out in meeting when
courage was at premium. Her discourse
on the flag of the free was "pat," as
they would say in Montana, and just Of
the proper emphasis to be heard distinct
ly by such of the forty-five states as were
in the Union back in the ''bloody sixties"
But Barbara is barred. Her remarks, full
of force and eloquence and elegance in
Vermont, are still coldIy received by even
doctors of divinity in Maryland and other
benighted communities of Dixie land. A
Frietchie stamp would give a Tennesseean
nightmare
Mrs. w. w. Astor, by the way, is not
without friends. She said mean things
about Prince Henry and other young men
who are unfortunate enough to have in
herited titles instead of money Perhaps
she was working with a short pole in a
vineyard where the grapes were high and
sour, but Mrs. Astor has followers who
cannot forget she has cash in many banks.
Moreover, if it would be any special in
ducement to the government she could
buy and place upon the market tie first
edition of the stamps, and then if they
were frigidly received by those having
letters to send, your Uncle Samuel would
have no regrets of a financial nature
Carrie Nation, too, should not be wholly
overlooked. Indeed, in such a contest she
would not permit herself to be. She
smashed herself to a degree of 4ame in
Kansas and was quite willing to in other
places. Carrie isn't petite or pretty, but
she is forcefuI, resourcefuI, impulstve and
a fighter 1t would be cruelty to put Mrs
Nation on a beer stamp, but she might
fit one of those hurry-up stamps known
as the special delivery"
And so we might go down the list, but
there are objections, sectional or other
wise, to nearly all of them. Possibly few
would find fault with the late Frances E.
Willard. There is, however one name
which stands OUT and away from all Of
the others-that Of Martha Washington.
| Wife and companion of the father of his
| country, she was the first woman of the
land in the initial administration of the

FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
VEaShiOotnu n &


WASHINGTON, April 6.-"Up to this
time the United States has been at a
decided disadvantage in the attempt to
invade the markets of the Orient, be-
cause the great commercial nations of
Europe lie so much nearer to that mar
ket and are provided with a direct means
Of water communication. The fact that
the great producing centers Of the United
States still lie in the eastern section Of
the country and that their products must
either cross the United States by rail or
travel an enormous distance by water in
passing from the eastern coasts to the
markets Of Asia and the Orient has rem
dered that market a difficult one for
American exporters" said o. P Austin,
chief of the bureau of statistics, to the
National Geographic society.
Working at Disadvantage.
'"The all-water routes from New York
to the Orient are from 1900 to 5000 miles
longer than those from London to the
great markets on the eastern coast Of
Asia, being about 1880 miles, against a
little over 10000 miles from London while
the route from New York to the Orient
around South America and across the Pa
cific Is 5000 miles long, the shortest route
being halfway round the earth at its
greatest diameter, ana tnat by way of
South America and the Pacific thirds
of the distance around the world. In
spite, however, of this disadvantage I'M
DER which the United States labors as
compared with other countries, it has
made much more rapid gains in the COM
merce with the Orient than any other
nation, our exports to the Orient having
grown from $40000,000 in 1891 to sis, 900. -
0O0 in 1901, an increase Of $50 per cent
while the total exports were increasing
only per cent. Our imports from the
Oriental countries increased during the
same time from sos 100000 to 1852, 000, 600
an increase OF over 80 per cent, while the
total imports Of the country were in
creasing only 10 per cent

that of the United States has grown with

countries competing for that commerce.
Taking the commerce of the Orient ar
