South Bend, Ind, February 22.-An attempt was made by Q mob of 150 men to wreck the powerhouse of the Indi- ana Railway company and to do injury to the employees there today.

 While it is not practicable to measure the internal commerce of other coun- tries with the same accuracy as that Of the United States, it is known that in agricultural products, manufactures and minerals the United States now outrankS the other nations of the world, and that the transactions in these products, which form the internal commerce. may therefore be assumed to surpass those of any other country. The manufactures Of the United States are now about double those of the United Kingdom and nearly equal to those of France, Germany and Russia cultural products of the United States far exceeds that of any other single country.

WORK CUT OUT FOR
 SECRETARY C0RTELY0U He Will Deal With the Largest Con-
 po'ce in tbe World
In Exports, Mans lures, Transportation and Internal Commerce ths 2 uted States Heads the List of the
 Worlds Great >. ions-The Domestic Business Alone of the Country 2 stimated at Twenty Billions-Its Rapidly Increas-ng Growth During Half Century.

Washington, February 22.-The new department of commerce will have the unique distinction of dealing with the largest commercial interests of the world. In domestic exports, in manu- factures, in transportation, and in in- ternal commerce the United States is at the head of the worlds list of great nations. Some figures just compiled by the treasury bureau of statistics, which by the new law becomes a part of the department of commerce, estimate the internal commerce of the country at twenty billions of dollars, or equal to the entire international commerce of the world.
 In arriving at this estimate of s20,- 900, ,000,000 for the internal commerce of the United States, the bureau of statis- tics includes only one transaction in each article produced, while, in fact, a very large number of the articles pro- duced pass through the hands of sev- eral ''middlemen' between those of the producer and those of the consumer The estimate is based upon the figures of the census, which put the total value of manufactures in 1900 at $1S,- 000,000000; those of agriculture at near ly S4,000. 000,0 000 and those of minerals about S1,0G0, ,GG0,0 Adding to these the product of the fisheries, the total value of the products of the great in dustries in 1900 would be IS billions of dollars, and the rapid growth in all l lines of industry since 1900, especially in mapufa curing, seems to justify the conclusion that even a single transac- ton in all the products of the country would produce an aggregate for 1902 of fully 20 billions of dollars.
 Estimating the internal commerce of the country at former census years by the same method, the bureau of statis- tics finds that the total internal conl- merce has grown from about billion dollars in 1850 to S1a billions in 1880, 61z billions in 1870. 7% billions in 1880, and 12 billions in 1890. It will be seen from this that the internal commerce seems to have increased 30 per cent in the decade from 1890 to 1900, and is ten times as large in 1902 as in the year 1850.
 During the same period, from 1850 to 1902 the population has increased from 23 millions to 79 millions, and is there fore only 3la times as great as in 1850, while the internal commerce Is ten 1 times as great as at that time. This relative gain of internal commerce over populat ation is due, in part, to the great
 ly increased facilities for transporta- ! ton, the cheapening of cost of articles utilized, and the increased earnings and increased wealth of the people. The railroads have increased from 9,021 miles in 1850 to POI. .S39 miles in 1902, and the estimated wealth of the country

New York, February 22.-Some an- nouncement concerning the plans of the Southern Textile company, which is q combination of about sixty cotton mills in the south. will probably be given out this week. Regarding the cotton mill combine the Wool and Cotton Re porter says:
 ''The option of the Fries people on the Raleigh mill. which had been ac- cepted by the combine, expired Febru- ary 1. C. c. Latta, the president of this mill company, was one of the mem bers Of the Fries examining committee which passed upon the condition of all the mills.
 "Mr Latta stated that, as far as he knew the merger proceedings were still intact. which was equivalent to saying that his mill at least would be willing to extend the time of the option.

THE CANAL TREATY.
But IL Is Really the Omnibus State
 hood Bill.

Washington, February p. - The course Of the proceedings Of the senate during the present week will depend very largely upon whether there is an adjustment of the differences upon the statehood bill. If TO agreement is reached the bill will continue to cut a figure i1 the proceedings Whether it De technically under consideration or net, just as was done during the greater part of the session.
 If the canal treaty is proceeded with the statehood bill will do much to shape it's course. If the treaty is put aside and the appropriation bills are taken up, the statehood question will present itself in the shape of riders on those bills. According to the pres ent programme the postofIice appro- priation bill will be the first of the supply measures to be considered. In deed, 1t is the only one of those bills not yet passed which has been reported from the committee.

NEW PosTOFFIcE TO WAIT.
Commission Not Likely to Report Be

Washington, February 22.--It is not probable that the New York postoffice commission will make any report to congress on d site before final adjourn ment on March ].
 A new feature of the situation which, it is said, is causing delay is a fierce contest between the managers of the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads. Each corporation wishes to have the new postcfice as near it's ter minal station as possible. Every argu- ment has been put forth for the com missions consideration by the officials of both roads.
 It is understood that plan is under consideration which will facilitate the handling of mails at both terminal sta tiOns. A member of the commission said that New York would not be d loser if there was a years delay in be- ginning the work.
