Furniture and Steel.
The Argentines are now putting their
-four up in paper bags, although barrels
are referred, and l am told that American
barrels could be sent there knocked down
at big profit. The same is true of Grand
RAPIDS furniture and Office supplies. The
country uses enormous amount of gal
Varlzed iron both for roofing and walls
and the pastures are being rapidly inclosed
in fences of barbed and woven wire. Rail-
reads are being built, and the United States
Steel Trust is probably getting its share or
the new orders.
The great trouble there as in Brazil, Is In
the lack of banking and shipping facilities.
There should be an American bank in New
York with branches at BuenoS AyreS, RIO
de Janeiro Montevideo and others of the
x
bulk of the American business. and would
probably do well from the start, as nearly
all foreign banks have a good business.
A fast line of American steamers should
be inaugurated to trade between New York
and Buenos Ayres 1t could make the trip

South America. which amounts to more

trade of interior Brazil will pass through

sell much to Uruguay. and we might sell
more if the trade were properly pushed.
That country is one Of good credit. 1t Is on
a gold basis. the Uruguayan dollar being
worth more than our own. The Uruguay
ans have about the same wants as those Of
the Argentines, and similar goods are In
demand.
Paraguay is exceedingly rich but far be-
hind the times along every line of develop

PRESIDENT SATISFIED.
HIS VIEW OF CUBAN BILL.
Regards Extra Session as EminentLy
Successful.
rFroN TIE rR1RrNE BrREAr.l

Washington Nov. 25.-An intimate friend Of
President Roosevelt said 10 the Tribune cor
respondent to-day that the President regards
with equanirity the failure of the Senate TO
vote on the Cuban treaty bill at the special
session He looks on the extra session as emf
nently successful He thoroughly appreciates
that the unanimous agreement Of the Senate to
vote on the measure on December 16 is 70 all
intents and purposes the accomplishment of the
end to which he has bent every energy himself
and for which he called Congress in extraordi-
nary session. and he IS inclined TO regret the
sensitiveness Of his friends who have believed
they in the postponement of the vote an
attempt TO ernbarrass him or to reflect on the
administration. There is, in his opinion. no &C.
casion for weeping over the loss OF nine days Of
the special session, when every one knows that
the opposition might have prolonged the debate
for months nor does he regard the question of
adjournment of the special session without day
as a matter OF any serious moment
His friends have been made 10 appreciate that
every energy should be bent to secure the rati-
fcation Of the Panama treaty. which viii be sent
TO the Senate early in the regular session, and
that vain regrets over brief delay in the enact
rnent Of the Cuban bill should promptly give
place 10 the more serious business Of promoting
the Panama canal. which Will afford ample op-
portunity for the friends of the administration
and Of canal 70 display their mettle.

MOVING PICTURE TRICKS.
How the BiOgrRph Is Made to Show
Seemingly impossible Things.

From the London Daily Mail.
The biograph, having depicted most
things in the world of fact, has now
found new realms to conquer in fic-
ton.
1t has become a juggler, or, as it
might prefer to call itself, an "iilusion-
ist," and the uncanny feats it per-
forms will soon put its more human
competitors to shame.
1t commences it's performance by
showing on the white screen two men
seated at a small table, They seem
to be carrying on an excited CONVEX
sation, but after some discussion agree
to make a wager on the cause of the
dispute. Then each takes from his
waistcoat pocket a tiny doll, dressed
like a boxer ready for a championship
match. The dolls are placed on the
table, Immediately come to life" and
commence sparring in the most scien-
tific manner. The two Gullivers APP
plaud the liliputian pugiiists as they
fight vigorously in a space that might
be covered with a dinner plate, and
when at last a five-graih glove infiicts
the knockout" blow on a@head that
is smaller than an early green pea, the
CODQueTeT anu lHc tODQucfcQr are plGkeu
up and ANONYMOUSLY replaced In the
waistcoat pockets of their owners.
This clever effect. the manager of the
bIograph, company explained, is OBJ
tained by superimposing two films
which are exposed separately. First
the two men seated at the table act
their part of the performance in front
of the camera, and then another bio
graph photograph is taken of a boxing
match, and the two rolls of films are
then skilfully placed together. The diff
ference in the size Of the boxers and
the onlookers is accounted for by the
fact that the latter are placed much
nearer to the camera than the for
mer.
But even more startling illusions than
this can be produced. For instance,
the blograph throws upon the screen
a picture OF headless man standing
by a huge egg. from which one might
expect healthy young roc. 10 emerge.
The decapitated man cracks the egg
with a mallet and discloses his miss
ing head inside.

BRYAN TALKS ON POLITICS
Says Hill Is Tossing Penny to See Whether He
or Parker Will Run for President.

Toledo, O., March 9.--Col. w. ]. Bryan
was in the city this afternoon. He
was prevailed upon to discuss politics.
He told of his recent visit to New
York, and added that the people in
that state knew less about politics than
they do in the West.
They asked me about Judge Parker"
he said. land 1 told them 1 could say
nothing until 1 knew his attitude on
public questions. They answered that
he was a judge, and it would not be
proper for him to discuss political
topics" 4
What do you think Mr.. Hill in
tends to do?"
We'll, think Mr.. Hill is tossing a
penny to see whether he or Judge
Parker will run. The trouble with the
plan is that Hill has an old penny that
he has tossed so often that he doesn't
know which side is head and which side
is tall
What have you to say regarding
the record of Congress %
What Congress has done is easily
ascertained. Find out how much there
was in the treasury before the session
began and find out how much there
is now. The wonder is that they didn't

Mr.. Bryan declined to discuss the
rroba BILE issues and candidates in the
next national campaign, but when
asked to make a general statement as
to the situation, he said:

be limited that this effect is obtained

dick Murder Case.
Buffalo, N. Y, March 9.-The Bur-
dick murder mystery received very
little attention at the District Attor-
neys office to-day. The officials were
busily engaged in preparing other
criminal cases before the courts, which
have been delayed by the undivided
attention given to the Burdick case
1t is evident from the attitude of the
officials that the police are now alone
in their efforts to run down the MUIR
derer. That is, the district attorney
will wait until the police department
submits evidence of sufficient weight
TO convince him that they have the
right person.
District Attorney Coatsworth in the
first instance took charge of the case
and personally directed the work of
the police. Aften ten days work under
the direction of the district attorney
the police have not been able to show
single thing which pointed the finger
of guilt strongly in any direction.
1t is declared. however, that no diff
ferences have arisen between the dis
trict attorney and the police. The Of
nclals nave found that the arrange
ment produced nothing, and the police
now will work for the first time indie
pendent of the district attorney.
That woman committed the crime
the people believe has been established
beyond all shadow of a doubt The
movements of the mysterious Tone
woman" will be the clue upon which
the police will work. This was the
woman seen by Policeman Myer in the
vicinity of the Burdick home on the
night of the murder.

OFFICERS WERE DRUNK.
Sailors Tell of the Loss of the
Bark Alex Mcneil.


San Francisco, March Capt. Jer-
gensen and nine of the crew of the
American bark Alex. Mcneil, which was
stranded on Pratas reef, near Hong
Kong, on Dec. IA, arrived to-day on
the steamer Coptic from the Orient.
The sailors state that shortly after
the vessel left Hong Kong on Dec. 10
the officS's became intoxicated and
the vessel drifted from her proper
course finally bringing up on the reef,
where she went to pieces. A drunken
fight followed the stranding of the YES
sci, during which, the sailors say, the
ships carpenter emptied his revolver
at the officers, but was too intoxicated
to aim with precision, and no one was
injured.
A boat containing First Mate Evans
and four of the crew was lost and no
trace of the men was found. The
stranded sailors remained on the reef
for three weeks, finally putting to sea
in an improviSed boat headed for
Hong Kong They were picked UP by
a steamer and taken to Hong Kong,
where the American consul looked after
their comfort. He arranged for their
transportation to this port.
Capt Jergensen denied that he or any
of the officers was drunk.

Polo mt Camden.

Camden, S. c., March 9.-The opening
event of the Polo Association for 1903
was held here to-day for cups offered
by the Camden Country Club The
first match scheduled was between
teams of tours, representing Camden
and Aiken, but owing to the failure of
the latter to put in an appearance it
went by default to Camden, this giving
two legs for Camden and one for Aiken
on the challenge cup, which is COM
peted for annually on alternate
grounds.
In place of Aiken the Camden Free
hooters lined up against the Camden
team. The score, without handicaps,
way: reebooters-Wistler, the King
team and Kennedy, six goals; Cam
den-Barstow, Stalmound, Goodwin and
Boykin. three goals.
The tournament at Camden will con-
tinue throughout this week, the events
being matches between pairs for cups.
