Cowes, July 24.-This mornings
bulletin as to the kings condition read
as follows: 'The King continues tomake
uninterrupted progress. Although his
majesty is not yetable to leave his couch,
his strength is returning satisfactorily"
While the bulletins issued by the Kings
physicians are generally taken at their
face value, such expressions as che isnot
yet able to leave his couch" are causing
some uneasiness as to his majesty's abil-
ity to stand the fatigues of the coronation
which is now but two weeks of.

IN, especially in view Of the fact that
recent figures compiled by the Treasury
department show that American exports
have reached high water mark and are
probably on the decline. The statement
that the King of Italy visited ST. Peters
burg for the purpose of making arrange
ments for commercial alliance against
America is looked upon in Washington
as well founded and backed up by recent
events in Europe. Should this course be
persisted in, it is frankly admitted that
the United States would be driven TO the
acceptance of the commercial treaties
now sleeping in the Senate. The pre-
yailing view is that the Cars pro-
posal for an antitrust conference means
nothing less than an attempt by Europe
to put discriminating tariff on Ameri-
can manufacturers, especially OF farm
machinery, a most vulnerable point
That the feeling in Europe expressed in
the conferences and proposals already
held and made will bring up for more
serious consideration the Kasson treaties
now seem certain. That it will finally
result in causing scare and possibly
loss to American manufacturers is very
nrohable

cred three miles from his residence, in

pine squadron. Mr.. Petersen has been
on SHORE duty for three years and recently

THURSDAY EVENING, JULY "a. 1892.

PEOPLE NOW living who remember
the railroad traffic of one or two score
years ago and compare the same with
the growth of the present day can hardly
realize the enormous proportions 1t has
attained hereabouts in comparatively
short space of time. A quarter of
century ago comparatively few trains
passed through Alexandria. There were
about half dozen passenger trains and
about as many carrying freight and the
electric railway was dream. At the
present time one hundred and ten trains
pass through this city every twenty-four
hours apart from those of the electric
railway which are increased and de-
creased at times according to the de-
mands of traffic. These would bring the
number which pass over the Long
Bridge during the day and night up to
about one hundred and seventy-fiye
AS has been heretofore suggested Alex
andria is naturally the main artery or
great neck of travel between the North
and South, and it is growing every day
as the Southern country is developed.
Much has been said and written in re-
cent years concerning the facilities al
forded By this city for commerce, and Its
splendid and capacious port has been
painted as one of its chief features This
is true, and many believe the time will
come when coal depots and other stable
industries will come to it. But at pres
ent the main traffic is by railroads, and
the fact that the city is necessarily stu
ated in the route between the two great
sections of the country is augmenting Its
Importance every day. The railroads
centreing here are increasing their force
of operatives continually, and every
reasonable inducement should be offered
these corporations who, whether they
intend it or not, are nevertheless aiding
materially in the city's expanding i'm
pOrtance.

GENERAL BRADLEY L. JOHNSON, who
Is now in Milwaukee, thinks the South
will eventually get rid of the negro vote
and go republican He believes Mr..
Roosevelt will be reelected and that he
is one of the best-equipped men in pub
lie life this country has ever had in re-
spect to education and experience. We
have no desire to question the accuracy
of the microscope the general is using on
the present incumbent of the Presiden-
tial chair. He is viewed through differ
ent lenses by different people, many of
whom fail to see that he has ever shown
himself to be the best-equipped as to
education or experience of any man who
has ever been the chief magistrate of the
nation. The assertion, however, that
the South has any serious intention of
going republican may be controverted
from many standpoints. When the
negro vote shall have been eliminated
and its force has long since been broken
there are many other reasons and Sc
rious ones, too, why this section of the
country will take issue With the doctrines
enunciated by the republican party, and
the South will always enter its pro-
test against the manner in which the
federal government is being conducted
in the interests of those now rolling in
millions accumulated by trusts and other
unfair and questionable means.

THE Pennsylvania Railroad Company
is rich and powerful corporation, and
has grown so arrogant that it does not
like to be baked in any of its mOnopo-
lizing schemes, but the New York Alder
men on Tuesday night hit the company
stunning blow which may bring it to
its senses. The railroad company want
ed perpetual tunnel franchise pretty
much on its own terms, and for its own
interests, but the measure was killed by
a vote of Sc to 10. This same company
has measure before Congress for a
union station in Washington, and pre-
tends that it will pay great deal of
money for the privileges asked for
However, should the bill become law
the company and not Washington or the
government would be the gamer to the
extent of millions. This bill was passed
by the Senate, but was held up in the
House, and it is hoped that every
Southern member will see that it meets
the same fate in the House as did the
tunnel franchise bill in the New York
Board OF Aldermen. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company is no sphilanthrOpist,
but is looking after its own interests and
gains all the time, and no one should be
fooled into believing to the contrary.

Mr.. BRYAN will be commended by
all democrats when they read that in an
interview in New York yesterday he
said he would not insist on having his
sixteen-to-one theory placed in the plat
form of the next national conventions.
He is, however, as bitter as ever against
Messrs. Hill and German who, he says,
can never purge themselves of their
political apostacy. He regards MIR.
Cleveland as an insignificant factor and
dismisses him from his thoughts sum-
marily. He is, however, ready to extend
a welcoming hand to gold democrats
who desire to return TO the fold Mr..
Bryan's bitter aversion to Messrs. Hill
and German may lessen as time goes on.
He says they stabbed him because they
failed to obtain the nomination them
selves. He expresses himself as ready
to forgive Mr. Olney inasmuch as he
came back, and says he is not a cheat
like Cleveland, Hill and German. Such
language is Incorporate, to say the least,
and will be productive of no good.
Political resentments are generally bitter
in their nature, but Mr.. Bryan, like
many others who have suffered from
political disappointments, should acquire
the important lesson of rising superior
to them.

INJUNCTION VIOLATORS sen.
TENCFD.

Parkersburg, W. Va, July 24-The
United Mine Workers organizers, who
were arrested here for alleged violations
of an injunction restraining them from
interfering with uon-unionists in the BIZ
luminous miners strike, were sentenced
today BY Judge Parkinson as follows:
One man received sentence of 90 days in
Jail. and six Others were sentenced sixty
DAYS each. "Mother" Jones's case was
passed until this afternoon. 1t is said
she will receive a stiff fine and will not
be jailed. The miners agree that this is
the most effective blow that could be
struck against the mems cause in their
attempt to get out the 1900 miners in
the Fairmont coal fields.

WHEN THE present new dress OF the
Gazette was donned about a month ago
attention was called to the advertising ia
cilities offered by the paper to people en-
gagged in business here, and incident
ally it was mentioned that firm in this
city, which but voiced the experience
of Others, had stated that it never adj
yertised an article in the Gazette without
having callers for it next morning. A
grocer yesterday evening placed half
inch advertisement in this paper an
nouncing the receipt of a certain choice
edible and before shutdown he had sold
out the entire lot. People who had seen
the insignificant notice came from every
quarter of the city and purchased the ar
ticle. Complaint is often heard that the
retail trade of the city is tagging. Prob
ably it is in some departments but 1t is
believed that by judicious advertising
considerable stimulus could be given It,
The modern advertisement is very efec-
tive and those who avail themselves of the
system reap the results. The best proof
of the assertion is the fact that people
continue to advertise. The old-time
ADVERTISEMENT simple card-answered
a certain purpose, but at the present
time the advertisement is changed often,
new features are displayed and fresh goods
advertised. We are not urging on
merchants the practicabiity of using
pages, half pages or columns, but simple
two or three inch spaces in which new
features in trade could be placed once or
twice a week. The result would be GER
tain and the outlay Insignificant. Ad-
vertisements when prepared as suggested
above will be readable to the local COM
munity.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, it is stated,
has requested his Cabinet members to
go on the stump for the republican ticket
this fall, as there is fear lest the demo-
Gratis capture the next House. He is
particularly anxious that Attorney Gen
e.al Knox shall tell the people what he
is doing about the trusts. Well, it will
not take Mr.. Knox long to do that, as he
has done practically nothing, but should
he get into joint debate with any DEM
ocrst in the country, it would take him
long time to explain why his party in
Congress prevented the passage of any
antitrust measures introduced last ses-
sion by the democratic members of that
body.

A BILL has been introduced in the
Virginia Legislature making it a mis-
demeanor for any liquor dealer to sell
stimulants to a man after the latter's wife
has notified him that her husband is a

will be a bombshell TO numbers whose
long-sufering wives now have no redress
when their husbands persist in spending
most of their wagesi in liquor.
