TRADE PROSPECTS BRIGHTER.
Winter Sown Grain Doing Fine--Rail
Shipments Pick Up.

New York. Feb, 26-Special tele-
grams from correspondents Of the In
ternational Mercantile Agency through
cut the United States and Canada
make it clear that rather more con-
seryatiye views are being taken for
prospects of trade throughout the
csuntry than nave been current here
tofore. Wholesale trade at Chicago,
Runalo, and St. Louis hare been more
interfAr with by delays by rail ship
ments but at many points, notably in
the southwest and south, large volumes
of traffic are reported. There has been
no lack of moisture for winter wheat
in the southwest. In the central belt
the winter sown grain has experienced
hard freezing weather, but has been
well protected. Slack movement OF
wheat eastward has thus far virtually
nullified threatening losses to railways
due to ex-Buffalo race war. In the
Mississippi valley there have been no
signs of an early spring in the agrieui-
tural regions. AT Baltimore shipments
Of merchandise for spring delivery will
average about 20 per cent less than last

shows that the outlook for spring trade
was never better. Notwithstanding

ing interests at New York and else

judge Dole And The Oath

Taking of "oaths" before U. S. Dis
trict Judge Dole, reminds us of the
many oaths taken by this same Judge
before and since the overthrow in
1893. When Mr.. Dole was appointed
as Justice of the Supreme Court, he
had of course to take an oath on TAX.
ing office, and in which he swore to
support the constitution and laws and
to hold them inviolate. On taking
sides with the revolutionists of 1893
and in order to become its chief, he
threw down his former oath of Office
under the Monarchy and took one from
the P. G.'s. Since being an out-and.
out revolutionist, he has taken more
oaths, quite enough to fill brochure.
In all this oath.taking, we are at loss
to know which oath he has complied
with. Throwing down the first, it be-
came easy to him to hold none of them
inviolable and sacred. But now, as
Federal Judge, he insists on any oath
being kept and observed.

publican politics, we want to know in
what it is good. He has made many
promises to residents of the big island,
none of which can be carried out to
any success without funds, and in that
alone lies the Executives weakness.
He permits his personal feelings to get
away with him, unmindful of his duty
towards the public, and therein lies an.
other weakness. If there is to be no
understanding between them, the only
course left to the Governor Is to call

The use of Russian signals by the
Japanese and the appearance in Man
churia of Japanese spies, wearing
queues and dressed as Chinese coolies,
shows keen sense of modern warfare
on the part of the Mikado's army and
a vast deal of determination and per-
severance. The capture of Russia's
signal code is an important thing with
ia itself, as it will tend to demoralize
the Muscovite navy for some time or
until new code can be prepared and
distributed. The presence of so many
japanese spies in Manchuria is proof
on the face of it that Japan is keeping
in close touch with Russian move
ments toward the Yalu river and Port
Arthur.
