lion dollars, of IA per cent. The fall ing eff was general throughout the con-. tinent, and that is a discouraging fact for those who have been cherishing the belief that Europe could not much longer prevent us from acquiring a large share of the growing business O.: supplying the needs of South American peoples.
 Evidently there is more force than many had counted upon in long estab- race and business connections, finan cial relations formed before we were ready to go outside our own boundaries for investments and customers and the uncertainty of return cargoes fer ships sailing from the United States to South American ports. These adverse influences are still operating to delay the conquest by American producers or fair share of trade with the southern half of the western hemisphere. Yet there is no need to despair. What we are already doing in portions of the northern half outside our own limits, and also in Africa, we may reasonably hope to be able to do in good time else where South America does not fur nish a natural market for cur cotton; nor are South American purchases Of us subject to the effects of prices of grain and meats, as are the purchases from us of the great food buying coun- tries of Europe. But South America, as we'll as Africa, Asia and the islands of the antipodes are natural markets fer our manufactured products; and in the end we must get a full proportion of that business. The time for that success may just now seem farther away than it is pleasant to admit. But there is no insuperablc obstacle in the way, and already the figures show that in some directions we arc making a promising beginning.

Our Industrial State.

One of the wise men of Wall street for such, unQuestionably talent ; and time have made of MT. James R. keene yesterday expressed the opinion in the Sun that prices of stocks, dizzy as they have long seemed to more timor- ous observers, are to be still higher For his ability to judge MT. Keene need point no further than to d certain mem orable period when his progressively supported belief that prices were going down was so strikingly vindicated.
 This later view Of Mir. Keene's will bring discomfort to marvelously few associates in the great game of stock operations. The race of bears has been hibernating so continuously since the republican triumph six years ago as to suggest extinction.
 MT. Keene's expectations. however are mere incidents to the general situ- ation. They are founded on the still growing industrial strength of the country at large. The material pres perity of the United States. instead of having reached the beginning of de- cline, is still surging forward in full vigor, with long road clear ahead.
 The distinctive American improve ment in industrial methods have not yet borne their full fruit and. even should the turn of the road come into sight, the new foundations of business in this country have been broadcnei and strengthened beyond the power Of any ordinary setback to destroy With business happiness goes business hope that the political theorists will permit business to keep moving along it's pres ent smooth and profitable road.-New York Sun.

A Dangerous and Vicious Policy

It seems 10 us that certain of our I New York contemporaries-and they
 are not without d swarm of gullible
 and credulous imitators-intend to
 make mischief at any cost in the mat | ter of the Pennsylvania coal miners
 strike. We are 10th to believe that they fully realize the tendency of their present course for that would be to
 suspect them of suggesting the worst kind of wickedness. The fact remains. | however, that the only possible effect
 of the vociferation is dangerous in the extreme.
 They are now engaged in teaching the multitude that MT. Pierpont Morgan can, if he will, put an end to the strike and restore peace and order where now
 exists condition little, if any. better than rank anarchy.
 Is this true picture? No; it is as false as any picture could be, possibly MT. Morgan has said as much, more
 than fifty times. If it stops tomorrow no credit will accrue to him. It it goes
 on until the wolf howls at every miners door, it will be no fault of his. He is not an autocrat, even in Wall street 1 He possesses no sovereign or super natural powers anywhere. The mine
 owners owe him nothing. They do not
 tremble before his frown. They do not ! care three straws about his smile. It IS wicked to make ignorant people believe | that he is Omnipotent to persuade them that he will be responsible for the suffering that will follow prolongation
 of the deadlock. These reckless publi-
 cations may do infinite harm. We are
 far from asserting that their authors intend it. but it is perfectly clear to us that such persistent misrepresentations | tend tC inflame the public mind and to fix upon MT Morgan a responsibility
 of which he may easily become the vic | Itim.-Washington Post

 Crushing" the Americans.

The New York Times, the Herald ana sundry other American papers have been in a state of great perturbation at a remark made in this Review few weeks since as to Lord SaliSbury'S Venezuelan policy. We have always strenuously objected to Lord Sails. bury's admission of the United States
 claim to intervene in the dispute be- tween Venezuela and this country. It was q great mistake; even if refusal to admit the claim had resulted in war
 it might be to our advantage, we point ed out to settle a coming contest at a time when we were far more ready than the United States, when we could easily have crushed the Americans" It is plain that in the context we meant by "crush" put out of action; in other words, a war with this country would have made it impossible for the United States to undertake another war for an indefinitely long time. Those who are aware of the real state of American preparedness for war at that time know that our remark was not an exaggera- ton of probabilities.

OLD WHITE HOUSE CHANDELIERS

Mrs. Seinble. President John Tyler's daughter. hopes that the improvements at the White House will spare the old chandeliers and candelabra. They were selected by President Monroe, % she says. He was minister to France before he was elected president and beth he and his wife had excellent taste, as all of the furnishings which they selected show. The chandeliers i speak of have been made to suit oil lamps, candles. gas and electricity. In my fathers time candles were used, and it took twenty-fOur boxes for one evening only. It was the most becCm- ing illumina tion in the world, and the whole expense Of it, which was con siderable, as you may imagine. came out of the presidents salary which was only half at that period what it is to- day"

Ii is a good plan that the government has tardily adopted Of keeping the pub lie informed of the significance of the war maneuvers. The secret policy thus far partly observed has been heartily approved by many papers, the Army and Navy Journal and the Army and Navy Register among them. Yet there was reason to fird fault with the idea, and somebody high in authority has had the sense to see it. As matter of fact, no ether nation makes its naval maneuvers or army operations myste- rious. Everybody is desirous of learn ing more or less about them, and gov ernments aid the people in acquiring this knowledge. Abroad it is difficult to get anybody to follow all the move ments through the papers, because the reports are tardily published. Here more active journalism contributes a lively curiosity to the ordinary reader. Moreover if the people are to help make our army and navy powerful they have a right to know as much about them as possible. One can imag- inc that man like President Roose- welt realizes this to the full, whatever navy department officials may have to say on the subject.

By this time tomorrow we shall know who's who and what's what in Yer mont. Under normal conditions Gen Ieral McCullough's election by popular vote would be matter of course. Two years ago the republican candidate for the govcrnorship had a plurality of 3i,- S12 in a total poll Of about 7O,OOO. But the Vermont conditions this year are most interestingly abnormal. MT. Gle ment, the nti-prohibition bolter, is reported hopeful of pulling 20,0O0 to A 900 republican votes away from Me Cullough, and half as many votes away from the democrat, McGettrick.

There was one sentence in the presi- dents Boston speech that should have the thoughtful attention of all captains of industry and other things whom it may concern. You can see, gentle men," he said, "I an not advocating anything very revolutionary. I am ad- voCating action to prevent anything revolutionary" Timelier hint was nev- CT dropped. The towering aggregations of capital will make a very serious mistake if they treat Theodore Roosc- welt as an enemy.

HOW FRANKLIN's MONEY CREW

The reproductive power of money is illustrated in the suit brought by the descendants of Benjamin Franklin against the cities of Philadelphia and Boston to recover the f1.GG0 which the great statesman left to each of those cities as a fund to aid printers and ether artisans in starting in business on their own account. These descend ants say that no attempt has ever been made to carry out the provisions of the will, and lay claim to principal and interest. The f2.O0O of the thrifty rrinter has now increased to about $4O0,OOO, an increment from which MT. rrankiin, if he were alive, would not fail to extract moral as to the po- tency of small savings.

Features of Ex,ort Trade.

Further study of the latest reports on our export trade reveals other inn portant features besides the marked decrease in the sales of our products to Europe-features, tCo, that are more pleasant to contemplate. some of them. indeed, encouraging. Thus, in sharp contrast with the decline of some II per cent in the value of goods shipped to Europe. which is. Of course, the largest market for cur surplus of agri- cultural products. there is found an in- crease of more than $7,000.000 in the value of exports to other parts of North America, the rate of increase being nearly 4 per cent. while in exports to Asia there has been the much greater gain of almost 30 per cent, the amount of the increase in values being more than $14 ,00O, ,O0O. In the case of Ameri- can merchandise marketed in Africa. too, the value in the .ast fiscal year was nearly SS,O0O,O 900 more than in the year proceeding. the rate of gain being more than 30 per cent. In the case of Australia and other parts of Oceanioa there was a slight loss in exports, but the change was too slight to be sigui- ficant.
 From these figures we may obviously draw the welcome conclusion that our foreign trade has been expanding fairly well in thoco parts of the world where our machinery, tools and the finished products O; our factories and mills nat urally find their readiest market. A parallel conclusion is that, notwith- standing the falling off in cur sales to our largest market. our foreign trade has been growing handsomely in some of those countries where 1t has hereto- fore been smallest and less creditable to our national enterprise. Surely there is real enccura geinert in these assur- ances. Unfortunately. what is true of some of these countries is not true Of all Our exports to South America were less in the last fiscal year. as compared with the preceding twelve months by about six and a third mil

ouTRAoEs COMMITTED. Gang of Laborers In Philippines Have Perpetrated Many Crimes.

Manila, November "A portion of the gang of laborers which has been operat- ing on the Island of Biliran 0ust north of the Island of Leyte), where they com mitted various outrages, crossed over to the Island of Leyte last Wednesday and entered a small town near Carigara. Here they captured and beheaded the president of the town, murdered his wife whom they slashed with bolos, and ab- ducted the presidente's children The motive of this crime is said to have been the presidente's friendliness with the Americans.
 Ladrones are again active in the pro- vinces of Rizal and Bulucan, Luzon. Members of their native constabulary en- gagged these bandits twice during the past week at points close to Manila, and suc- ceeded in killing a number of them. The constabulary are capable of sup pressing these Ladrones.

BODY REFUSED EXPERIMENT.
Native Woman In Philippines Can't
 Rest in Paco Cemetery.

Manila, November 2-The body of native woman, who was attended at her death by priests of the Catholic church of the Philippines, was refused interment yesterday at the Paco cemetery, which is owned by the Roman Catholic church. There was a scene at the cemetery and the police were called in to maintain or der In retaliation for this refusal of in- torment Aglicipa and other leaders of the schmismatic movement are discussing a plan to appeal to the courts to obtain possession of certain churches and other property in the Philippines
 This independent church movement Is being watched closely in government and political circles. The extent of the de- lection of native clergy and their lay adherents from the church of Rome Is not known, but 1t Is claimed that a ma jority of the native clergy sympathize with the movement. The appointment of an American archbishop in the Philip pines, however, and the Americanization of the Roman Catholic church here, with a clear definition of the status of the pa- tive clergy, would turn the tide of both clergy and lotiy in favor of the Roman church

STOCK CAN NOT FEED.
Many Mexican Haciendas Are Covered
 With Ashes from voIvano.

Tapachula, State of Chipias, Mex, No- vember 2.-Growers on neighboring haci- endas will suffer great loss owing to the fact that their stock cannot procure food the fields being covered with ashes from the Santa Maria volcano. The brooks are choked with ashes and cinders and all the neighboring roads are covered thick with ashes and cinders.
 It begins to be seen that the coffee plsnters will come off better than the stock raisers. Diligent investigation shows that there was no loss of life during the recent disturbances. though what may have happened near the volca- no, in Gueatemala, is not known here. The people are beginning to regain con- fdence. though their experience was a terrible one. One house was damaged during the earthquake. Reports from towns across the Guatemala border shows that the alarm was intense every body fearing a similar fate as befell the people in Martinique and St. Vincent What most impressed every one was the darkness which prevailed for more than two days.
 Government experts are studying the effects of the volcanic eruption, and will soon make a complete report.

CUBAN CASE NOT TAKEN UP. Board of Special Inquiry at Ellis Is-
 land Silent on the Subject.

New York, November 2.-The board of special inquiry at Ellis Island adjourned today without taking up the case of the eleven Cuban children, who came here Saturday on the Ward Line steamer Orizaba, destined for Point Loma, Ca, to be educated and cared for 'at the ex- pense" of the Universal Brotherhood' conducted under the direction of Mrs. Katherine Tingley. The children are de- tained on the island and Dr. Gertrude VanHolt, in whose charge they came from Santiago, is with them.
 Commissioner Williams said toady that the case of the children opens up an important and interesting question which will probably be used to establish a pre- cedent for the guidance of the depart ment in the matter of the admission of Cuban children to this country. for the purpose of education. The technical point on which the children will be deported, if the board decides to debar them. he says, will be that they are liable to become a public charge The theory on which this is based is that the children are brougt here as objects of charity, the in- stitution to which they are going being in no way bound to support. them, if for any reason the managers thereof should see fit at any time to turn them loose on the community No one appeared at Ellis Island today to produce any testimony before the board on either side of the question, and the board did ont take up the matter because the stem ographich report of the evidence taken Saturday, was not yet in shape
