ahead toward first place in that class at pace
which may well cause an UNCOMFORTABLE NAH
hour to more than one proud rival
The number of vessels entered at Hamburg
in the first half of the present year was 6'4ol,
with a tonnage of 431S,5T1. If the second hall

the wear will be 1892 vessels of S.637. 142 tons
Those figures will show Hamburg to be by far
the largest port on the Continent OF Europe.
They Will show II to be surpassed by not more
than three British ports-namely, LONDON
Cardiff and Liverpool. the three standing in the
order given. Indeed, Hamburg is in tonnage
nearly the equal of Liverpool or even Cardin,
though each of these considerably surpasses IL

1895 the shipping entered amounted to only
6254 493 tons There has thus been an increase

the world where more liberal and well devised
efforts have been made TO attract and accom-

THE KING.

Disquieting rumors are again extant concern
ing the King, his health and the prospects OF
his actually being crowned at the date fixed
A comprehensive and judicous account of the
present situation It appears TO the best in
formed observers has been given by our Lon
don correspondent. the sum of which is that
while all preparations are going forward for
the coronation at the appointed time there are
persistent rumors that there will be another
postponement and if an announcement TO that
effect is presently made there will be no general
surprise at it. To that we may add that there
would be no surprise here at such postpone
ment but there would be general and deep
regret.
Ii is to he observed, of course, that the OFF,
cial bulletins concerning his majesty's condition
continue to be altogether favorable. The King S
health we are told is excellent and the wound
is healing rapidly. The accuracy and sincerity
of such statements cannot be for a moment
doubted All through the case the attending
physicians have distinguished themselves with
the perfect candor of their statements and with
their own freedom from mistakes in their treat
ment of the patient Their bulletins are there
fore entitled TO unquestioning credence. The
worst that can he said Is that the bulletins DO
not entirely warrant the assumption that the
coronation can be performed at the time Set
They do not say so. They make no promises
They simply tell what is the condition OF the
King at the present moment. From such state
ments the public must draw its own conclu-
sions For example. the official bulletin IN
formed us that on Monday last the King was
liable TO he moved from his couch to his
wheeled chair for few hours" That may
we'll mean that he is making favorable prog
ress: but an invalid who. weeks after surgical
operation. is able TO do more than to be
gently lifted by his attendants from his couch
to cushioned chair, and back again after a
few hours. may be the road to complete
recovery and yet not be strong enough TO en-
dure the tedious labors of the coronation cere-
mony less than a fortnight hence.
There is every reason to believe that the King
is steadily regaining his health. There is not
entire certainty that he will be able to be
crowned at the appointed time. though it is
earnestly to be hoped he will; but IT, at worst,
there should be another postponement it would
be cause for deep regret but not necessarily for
the least alarm

SOUTH CAROLINA IN UPHEATAL.

Is South Carolina to rewrite its standards of
accountability in political argument to sur
render its cherished ideals of joint debate de-
cisons by the solar plexus code? 1t would seem
so from the melancholy Indictment Just framed
against the Hon. Jim" Tillman by 1.-THE Column
bia State" If the Tillmans, Uncle Ben" and
Nephew JIM" are not to be depended upon TO
maintain the traditions of the art manly"
school of political argument then the States
escutcheon must go forever smirched 1t is no
wonder, therefore, that local opinion is stirred
to indignation and amazement by the exhibition
of recreancy with which the vociferous Lieu
tenant Governor of South Carolina has been
lately charged.
The Tillman idea of the "reproof valiant TO
an accusation of falsehood has been clearly and
fully understood. In his statement to the press
on February "a last, after the assault on his
colleague, John L. McLaurin, the senior South
Carolina Senator said: THAT (duelling) being
NOW obsolete in the United States, we have
''been forced people here to cling to the old
"Ango-Saxon rule of considering the lie direct
las the first blow, and no man could hold up
This head IN decent society should he being
near enough to answer the lie with blow, not
give It," Nephew JIM is also on record as
saying at Union, s. c., on July 81: Roosevelt
was mad at Uncle Ben for hitting a man that
had called him liar; and you fellows would
mot have had any respect for him IL he had
mot done it,
Theories however, according to Nephew
Jim's" philosophy, have sometimes to be
trimmed to the gales Of circumstances. At
Gaffney. on July %. the Lieutenant Governor
found in his audience the editor of paper en-
titled Grit and Steel" and appropriately de-
voted to the favorite South Carolinian pastime
Of cock fighting. What happened may be shown
in brief from the following extract from the
columns OF 1.-THE State:
Editor E. II. De Camp to James H. Tillman's
face, Gaffney, July 23-I the man who wrote
the editorial statement that you are a liar, a
drunkard and gambler, and am responsible
for II.
James II. Tillman to Editor De Camp-rhen
you the author Of something OF which you
should be ashamed.
Editor De Camp to James H Tillman-I can
prove you liar over your own signature
James II. Tillman TO Editor De Camp-Do So
Editor De Camp latter reading matter sub
mitted as proof)-And you knew you were lying
when you wrote it,
James H Tillman makes lamblike exit
Mr. Tillman seems to have realized a little
later the flaws in logic between his utterances
at Union and his performances at Gaffney. At
Yorkville on July % he put forward this in
genious and pathetic plea for stay OF judgment:
LAS Lieutenant Governor and an officer of the
law. street brawl would have been most I'M
becoming. My hands were tied. Prometheus
when bound had his vitals eaten by vutures"
And the next day at Chester he is reported as
saying, with an objectionable approach to sacri-
lege; They may cruelty me upon cross OF
! 'siander, but God in heaven knows it is as

Mr.. KRUEGER's BLES."

The report is extant that Mr.. kruger is going
TO hold at Utrecht, a conference of Beers, at
which it is thought rreconclable party will
be formed the aim of which will be at the
earliest opportunity 10 shake off the British
yoke" and make the Boer States independent
It is quite conceivable that the indomitable
loom Paul. wodld approve and lead such
movement That would entirely accord with his
well known conduct in 1S77'S1. when he osten-
sbly acquiesced in the British annexation of
the Transvaal and became an off1ceholder under
the British crown, but all the time cherished
plans for regaining independence, and when the
time came made himself the leader of the re-
volt 1t would scarcely accord, however, with
the earnest professions Of loyalty and good faith
toward the British Government which have
been made by Generals Botha. Delarey, De Wet
and other strenuous leaders OF the fighting
Beers.
But, then, the conference may not decide upon
such a policy. 1t may not even consider IT,
Indeed, there may not be any such conference;
for the report appears In The London Times"
which gets it from the "Neues Wiener Tage-
blatt," which gets 1t from some unnamed au-
thority In Brussels and. with all possible re-
spect for these news purveyors. 1t must be said
that such duplication Of reports affords much
room for error.

OR TRADE WITH JAPAN.

Japan's statistics Of her foreign trade in 1901
reveal the gratifying fact that her commerce
with the United States is much larger than
with any other nation. 1t amounted in that
year to $57 .539. 1914. The next largest was that
of China. $50 O91 2s2. and the third on the list
was that of Great Britain, which footed up
only S31, 029,146. Neither Germany nor France
reached $1T,0Oo000 while Russia was among
the minor powers with only S531, 200, or less
than half as much as Switzerland and far less
than Hawaii. The total foreign commerce Of
Japan amounted TO S254,0S3, 099, so that our
share Of 1t was considerably more than one
fifth OF course. IL we add to Great Britain's
share the shares of her possessions such as
India, Hong Kong, Canada and Australia, the
total of the British Empire surpasses our own
amounting to about SSs,00O, 900, while our total
including Hawaii and the Philippines is only
about S61. 100000. In justice to Russia 1t should
be said that in addition TO the figures already
quoted for European Russia, Asiatic Russia
had Japanese trade amounting to So. 402 SO6
Frances Asian empire also had n japanese
trade of more than S2,100,000.
When we come to distinguish imports from
exports it is found that Japan sells to the
United States far more than the United States
sells to Japan. The former part of the trade
y
while the latter was only some 50. 1884 900.
japan sold more to us than to any other coun-
try, while two Others Great Britain and India
sold more to Japan than we did. The other
countries having large trade with Japan which
as did the United States, bought more from
Japan than they sold to her were China, Hong
Kong, France and Italy, the last two purchas
ing largely from Japan but selling her scarcely
anything. The important countries which sold
more to Japan than they bought from her were
Great Britain, India, Germany and Belgium
It should be added that on the whole Japan's
imports and exports nearly balanced the former
amounting to $127,90s,322 and the latter TO
S126,174,771.
While this showing is in measure gratifying
to the United States, it must be wished that
our exports to Japan were larger. and there ia
reason for thinking they might be made So II
is not logical for the United States to be I'm
Italy. 1t belongs rather with Great Britain and
Germany. China of course buys much and
sells little because of her inferior civilization
