fight, which attracted more attention
throughout the country than any sim

which almost approached presiden-

Jerome in New York, with the Hearst
effort to get into the mayoralty upon a
semi Socialist platform scarcely sec
ond.
In Massachusetts the leading issue
has been tariff revision, though ''cor-
poration influence" in legislation has
been a prominent charge banded by
the candidates.
In Rhode Island constitutional re-
form and popular versus corporate rule
were the issues. The Democratic can
didate for Governor was DR.. Garvin,
former Governor, and the Republican
nominee was Governor Utter, who ia
vored conservative organic changes.
In Ohio Governor Herrick was op-
posed by John NJ. Pattison, and each
appealed to the independent voter
Boss Cox of Cincinnati has been au
issue in the campaign, but Taft and
other influential Republicans advised
scratching.
That the Republicans would poll a
much smaller vote than usual in Ohio
had been known for several weeks, but
the extent of the decrease is a sur
prise that will keep the politicians
busy explaining for some time to come.
Last year Ohio gave Roosevelt a plu-
rality Of 90, 900. Its plurality for Nc
Kinley in 1900 was about 10000 and
for Herrick two years ago $4,000.
Thisyear this stronghold of Republican
ism was first placed in the doubtful
column Oh the strength of early re-
turns. The Democrats, however, won
Pattison's election by good plurality.
Tom Johnson has been reelected in
Cleveland. and in Cincinnati, the home
of Boss Cox, Democratic mayor is

"Lovers and Lunatics" Pronounced an
Amusing Show by Large Audience.

Lovers and Lunatics," a musical
farce comedy in two acts, was present

with pleasing effect upon an audience
which comfortably filed that popular
playhouse. 1t includes all the essentials
pretty girls, catchy music. excellent
comedy and plenty of the spectacular
which go to make a good show and was
given with snap and vivacity. There is.
OF course, no plot TO speak of. only just
enough around which to gather innurn-
erabie conical situations and to permit
the introduction of specialties to allow
the performers to show their versatility.
As the title suggests there are lunatfcs
and lovers and these are intermingled
in such a way that the audience Is kept
busy separating the one FROM the other.
Johnny Ford and Mayme Gehrue are
excellent entertainers, the latter scoring

PARIS. Aug. 29.-An adventure, which
savors Of the Wild West, happened last
night TO Savaier Schroeder, a cabman.
who was asleep on his box at the time,
leaving his horse to crawl at will along
the Boulevarde Murat by the fortifica-
tions, when he awoke to find a masked
man holding the horses head The
next second another man jumped on
the box beside him, and. pressing a re-
volver TO the trembling cocher's temple,
uttered the French equivalent for Your
money or your life,'' The night was
dark and the street deserted.
Dazed with fear. Schneider began to
count out his money.
Just then a revolver shot rang out
and third man appeared on the scene,
threw himself on the highwayman who
was holding the horses Bride while
seeing this turn of affairs. the cabman
seized hold of the man beside him. The
two bandits were eventually overcome
bound and placed in the cab, and thus
hauled off TO Auteuil. There IL trans

BIG PR|NTERY MAKES
CALL FOR MORE MEN
Requisition Made on Civil Service
Commission for Twenty Addi-
tional Compositors.

The Government Printing Office has
made a second requisition on the Civil
Service Commission for temporary COM
positors TO aid in the rush OF work. The
new order is for twenty men. as was
tie one made a few days ago.
The commission is said TO be making
the selections from the old register, as
the new one has not been completed.
Many OF the names selected are said
TO be those OF out-of-town printers. and
be put to work
The local Typographical Union will
probably petition the commission to re-
turn to the former practice Of first
selecting local printers for the tempo
rary work. as 1t is said a great deal of
dissatisfaction exists over the present
plan OF taking the names from all over
the country for this class OF work.
Edwin G. Jones. chief clerk OF the
Philippine Public Printing Office, ar
rived I'm Washington this week from
Manila. He was at the Government
Printing ONCE today renewing acquaint-
ances. he having been foreman of a divi-
sion there before going to the Philip
pines.
Chief Jones is said to entertain fiatter-
Ing ideas as TO the future of the islands
and Gays the natives who have been pu,
to work in the printing Office make
good printers. Two-thirds of the en-
ployes of the Office are natives, who re-
ceiye instructions from the Americans
sent there fer that purpose
Mr.. Jones will spend several weeks
In this country before returning TO his
post.

MACF ARLAND TAKES
DESPONDENT VIEW
Does Not Think Bigger Pay
Possible.
CONGRESS is ECONOMICAL
Points Out That Circumstances Mill
tate Against Employees Getting
Higher Salaries Now.

Commissioner Macfarland, in answer
to a question. said today that while JUS
tice to faithful and efficient public ser
wants requires increases of salaries as
well as increases of force, circum-
stances will probably prevent many such
increases being made
Mr. Mecfariand said that he did not
think the desired increases In the sal
aries of teachers. firemen. and police
men would be made in the appropriation
bill
However, the Commissioner said that
he had arranged with the chairman Of
the District Committees to have ready
Wien Congress meets. bills proposing
schedules of salaries for teachers. fire.
men. and policemen which would be con-
sidered favorably, he believed, and. If
adopted by Congress, would put on the
statute books permanent schedules. CIV
ing increased pay which the Appropria-
tons Committee would follow in future
1t viii be seen, therefore. that Mr..
Macfarland does not entertain high
hopes of getting anything for the teach
ers. policemen. and firemen at the COM
ing session of Congress. While the COM
mittees OF the District OF Columbia In
both houses may favorably report bills
fixing schedules for the payment OF
these public servants. il does not neces-
sariiy follow that they will pass Con-
gress in the immediate future. 1t Is
generally known that the appropria-
tions committees will scrutinize every
bill calling for an expenditure of money,
and will really be more economical than
they were last year
One Of the important problems before
, congress this year will be a reduction
in the expenditures TO wipe out the
deficit In the Treasury. Ii is known
that the Republican leaders will be un-
sually careful this session upon all ap-
preparation bills.
The estimates of the different depart
ments of the District government will
not be all before the Commissioners un-
til about the 1st of October, when the
Commissioners will take them UP. to-
gether with the recommendations from
citizens associations and individuals
and prepare the estimates for the Dis
trict budget for the next fiscal year.

TRADE WITH
ARGENTINA

While Il Is not literally true that
England's exports 20 Argentina arc
equal 20 those Of her three greatest
rivals combined, the pFepondsrauee Of
her trade Ia this market Is an undis-
puted fact which must bs Feekoned
with In spite Of the decline indieat'
cd by recent figures England's eE'
ports amount 10 more than twice as
much as those Of any other country,
But when we remember that England
developed her enormous foreign trade
while other nations were yet In their
commercial infancy, that she was first
in the South American field with man
ufaetuFed goods, and that her capital
lists really control the financial situa'
tion here the wonder becomes not that
other nations have been able 20 make
headway against such odds. That they
are making headway is manifest, Ger
many's share increased from III per
cent in 1895 10 l4.6 per cent for the
first six months Of 1908 Frances from
90 10 lO.5 per cent, the United States
from lO4 20 IA per cent. Those state
ments are based on Argentine figures,
and they probably undeTstate rather
than oyeFstate theimpoFtanee Of the
trade Of the United States as com,
pared with the European countries,
Germany, France, and especially Eng
land carry on a vast amount OF trans
shipment trade, and il is probable that
large amounts Of goods which are en-
tered in Argentine ports as coming
from these three countries really orig
mate elsewhere. The United States,
on the other hand, does but little
transshipping, and goods declared here
as coming from our ports probably do
originate in our country. The com
parsons are therefore vitiated Thus
it is safer in judging Of American sue
cess in trade to make use Of our own
export statistics and those Of the vari-
Gus European countries rather than the
import statistics Of Argentina. These
