Important Evidence.

Cincinnati. April IA fight for the possession Of
certain letters which were intrusted to Detective
Akin by Mrs. ]. Morgan Smith when her husband
was arrested is promised as the next development
in the Cincinnati end OF the Nan Patterson case
Attorney Shay to-day demanded the return of the
letters from the detective. The policeman refused.
and the attorney announced that the matter would
be taken into the courts. The attorney declared
he would compel the delivery OF the letters, and

District Attorney Garvan from New-YOrk this af-
teFnoon and Shay decided to defer action until

regarding the letters he supposed that they were
OF minor Importance and entirely unconnected
with the case and therefore. he had promised to
for them After they had been turned over to
him. he said that Mrs. Smith declared: 'If these
papers get into the hands OF the police they'll
hang Nan" This remark caused him to change
his intention and he has turned them over to the
Cincinnati police for sefekeeping until the papers
be delivered to District Attorney Jerome

made public, but at least four said to be I'M
important. Among them is ( letter from III L.,

This exhibit presents one mere item OF na-
tional progress-an item that Washington press
dispatches give as mere routine news this week
Government statistics showing our export
growth There is the record of what we are
shipping to just one country alone-the record
for the eight elapsed months OF this fiscal year,
compared with the total Of the same period a
single year ago-$S. 100000 for the eight months
Of 19O3-4 expanded. as three and half is TO
one. into S2SOOOOOO for the same months Of
19O4-'5.
This, as stated. stands for the current growth
Of exports by the United States to Just one cOun-
try. That country is China. This is not our
total Oriental Trade but materially less than
a third Of it-and Of our Foreign Trade only
the barest fraction.
Yet in its consideration what usually is the
regard we give to China Trade? Popularity it
is only a phrase; and to the wiseaeres OF Wall
Street a jest. 1t is more. 1t Is among the
myriad signs in these times OF national pros
perity which (hOwsOever and by whOmsCever
disputed, strides steadily forward to mastery.

Matcalf Balks.

Secretary Matcalf of the depart
ment of commerce and. labor will, ii
is asserted, throw up his job as a
cabinet officer when the summer
wanes, because of the summary dir
ections given him by the president to
issue orders to his subordinates to deal
leniently with the Chinese. It is
asserted that Matcalf did not issue
the order without showing the presi-
dent plainly that he did not wish to
do SO because he felt the situation one
that should be dealt with i'm anoth or
way. Matcalf comes from California
and is in favor of Chinese exclusion.
He probably is the best equipped man
in the cabinet to talk on the subject.
Secretary Taft, to whom the question
was referred for quasi administrativ e
advice, took the position that Matcalf
being a Californian was prejudiced
against the Chinese beyond the poir t
where advice would be accepted as
safe and sane.

HENEY ON MITCHELL
THE sELFIsHNEss OF THE SEN.
AT0R STRONGLY DENOUNCED
He Calls It Persecution; We Call 1t
Vindication of the Laws of
the Country"

Senator Mitchell was never ar.
raigned in severer language than Dis
trict Attorney Heney used in finishing
his summary of the governments evi.
dence Wednesday afternoon at the
federal couit, says the Journal.
Words were not minced and there was
no equivocation of meaning. The
governments attorney told the jury
why he believed the venerable senator
at the bar to be one of the most con.
summate masters of seltishness. The
statements developed in connection
with review of Robertson's testi.
mony. Returning the defendants ac-
cusations against the government, the
district attorney said:
HE calls it persecution; we call ii
vindication of the laws of this county.
We call it performance Of duty. They
call us scoundrels and other things
for performing our duty"
Again in burst of oratory, the
district attorney said:
ut is not disgrace to have one the
Oregon United States senators convict
ed of crime, but it is a disgrace to
the state of Oregon If its citizenship
has fallen so low that jury can be
found in the state who will say that
we will not enforce the law because
we and the rest of our citizens
have placed the one who has violat-
ed the law in high Office. II you have
one in high Office who has committed
crime that is ten thousand times
more reason why you should enforce
the law and let him and every other
man understand that whom you honor
in Oregon in the future is not above
the law"
Again: Here is the selfishness of
this man, who would not only have
old age perjure itself to save him, but
would reach out to this young man,
Robertson, whom he had raised in his
office, under his eyes, and unhesitat-
ingly sacrifice him by having him
commit perjury that he might go free.
He lets Tanner sweat here and lets
Tanner make the sacrifice and does not
even read his telegram to Robertson
until Robertson is subpoenaed. 1t
matters not to him who is sacrificed,
so long as he can go free.
He denounces Tanner and Robert
son as conspirators, because they
would not perjure themselves, and
stay perjured, to save this defendant.
So this selfish defendant considered
any man. His friends were only those
who would commit perjury and stay
perjured.
