THURSDAY, FEBRUARY il 1904.

Gold exports can possibly be averted, says Banker Glews, provided there is a. sufficient supply of exchange In which to invest the proceeds of which could be at once re-deposited in our banks. The payment to Europe, how ever, will be materially 1essened by the ract that very considerable portion, perhaps half, of the Panama stock is already held in the United States. Tn- Fortunately the present high prices of cotton and wheat do not encourage ex- ports. and while hitherto we have largely profited by these figures and the supply of bills has been very large. indications suggest that values have reached the limit for export The monetary situation is further. connpli- cated by the fact tfEnt bank loanssin New York have expanded over S1Oo,- O00,000 during the last five weeks and now stand, near, the S1,Q0as0 coo, GOO mark. It is quite evident, therefore, that should any further stress be put upon the money market there will be a calling of loans and 8 consequent in crease in interest ratea ' Bank ofIl- cials, however, show, no uneasiness over the future. #@!. @a

Hanna's Condition Unchnused.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IT. - Senator Hanna's condition remains practically unchanged The restlessness which fatigued him has been followed by pc riods of comparative quiet and sleep during the day, and the irritability of the stomach has again partially yield ed to treatment. The physicians say that no complications have developed It is this feature of the case that the physicians are guarding zealously against, as they realize that if any complications develop in the senator's distressingly weak condition the re- suit might be fatal quickly. The doc tors are not yet able to predict with any certainty when the c,jsts in the case will occur.

While the project of buii1ang 8 troll ley line to Cheshire Is hanging Are, the company, if 1t wants to confer last ing benefit on the community, and par ticuIarly on certain localities. should begin to lay tracks through some of the streets through which 1t has per mission to go in the city. The people of Baldwin hill. we are sure, would like to see a line through Baldwin street, connecting with South Main near Simonsville, or continuing along i'll an easterly direction, come out on the Cheshire road or back through Dublin street, if the time is not ripe for line to- the Cheshire SFpra1plke. Then there is. another route that has been written and talked about. a: con tit,uation of the Bank street line to Town Plot, and return by way of Highland avenue to West Main street. There are a number of sections, right i'll the heart of the city. as it were, that are ripe for a, trolley service, and as the local corporation hOlds< the reins, and the streets, too, many peo- pie can see no reason why the work on some Of these streets has not been commenced before now. There would be more money in it, too, it would seem, for the company, than in the Cheshire route, and then just think what vast amount of property it would open up. 1t would add to the population of the city, and in this way would bring more business to those merchants who are SO anxious for the Cheshire line than half a dozen such routes. Whats the matter with a local belt line? Why don't the busi- ness men agitate it, and tell the trolley company what benefit it would be to them to have its lines running through all sections of Waterbury?

THE VLADIVOSTOK STORY.

Yinkow whence the news comes or
the landing of japanese at NladiVostok'
is a point on the Manchurian railway
in Geographic touch with the far north
ern port 1t is possible that Alexieff
is there and that word came to and
through him. At the same time 1t Is
best to take such news with reserva-
lions until confirmed by the Japanese
consulate or by kilograms arriving
from several sources at once.
! The landing of an army on coast
where the shore line is precipitous, the
sea stormy and where harbors and in
lets are frozen, is no easy task, espe-
cially when stores and siege artillery
must be disembarked and an active
enemy considered. AS a piece OF
strategy an attack on Nladivostok In
sufficient force would be admirable;
for it would divide the Russian army
now concentrating on the Liao-tonS
peninsula, compelling some of it to go
to the relief of Nladivostok and thus
would make it easier for the Jap
anese to attack Port Arthur. Fur
thermore the capture of Vladivostok
would deprive Russia of port where,
in later weeks, Russian ships of war
might operate against Hakodate or at
least prey upon japanese coastwise
commerce and where vessels coming
from European waters might rett.
Admitting the value of the strategy,
| the practical difficulties in carrying it
out at this time of year, remain. A
very large army, capable of besieging
the Siberian city and protecting its
own rear and its base of supply, would
be needed at Vladivostok, and such a
force is a difficult thing to move when
| the weather is good and all ports open
But as things are on the north Sioe-
rlan coast the task would seem to be
insurmountable. If the Japanese
prove differently it will so to show to
what unheard-of perfection their mill
tary and naval systems have been
brought.

which bureau arrangements for tn

Hawaii would set apart ten thousand
acres in this and other Islands of tn"
group and open an agency like the one

Louisiana, ii could add hundreds OF
white families to the producing classes
here. The soil and climate of these
Islands lack nothing of the elements
that confer benefit upon the agriculture
of Louisiana and have many good quail
ties which the Gulf State cannot claim.
Letters received by the Promotion
Committee indicate that farmers want
to come. There are large areas, all
told. of susceptible land in the group,
some of them owned by the Government
and not under lease and some of them
owned by private estates. They are ca
pable of supporting 100000 people at n
minimum estimate. Is there any sound
reason why these opportunities should
not be taken advantage of?
