Other Governments at Work.

The awakening in foreign trade fields has
attracted the attention of all officials of
the government as we'll as of manufacturers
and exporters of agricultural products. The
'itish government is exerting every pos
sible effort to maintain the standard of the
British system In their export trade. Re-
cent reports by the British foreign office
and the boards of trade in London have
conveyed the information that British
trade is suffering at home and abroad as
the result of the active competition of the
United States. Germany and France.
The reports of the Chamberlain tariff
commission were specific in their complaints
of the injury done to British trade by the
system of dumping by American and Ger
man manufacturers in British markets. The
effect of the system, so the British experts
said greatly TO undersell British pro-
ducers and undermine them In their domes-
tic and foreign markets. This government
is now advised of the special activity on the
part of the German government and the
manufacturers and producers in that ag-
gressive country. the object of which Is to
protect the German domestic market and
extend the German foreign market.
This the Germans are seeking to do by
their dual tariff" which is but
another name for their maximum and mini
mum tariff, which goes into effect March l,
1906 The Germans are intelligent and ag-
gresSive. not only in their field of produce
ton, but in their methods of invading for
eign markets
They are secretive respecting their home
methods of production and exclusive in
their plans of organization to promote their
export trade. Their commerce schools
turning out experts in trade matters
and their consular and commercial agencies
in foreign countries are pursuing upon sci
entifc lines methods which are producing
the best possible results in swelling German
trade throughout the world. 1t is these
conditions and new situations in the great

civilized countries that the department of
commerce and the bureau of manufactures
are seeking to meet all along the line.
The Oriental Trade.
The marvellous development in the ORR
entail trade of the United States during the
fiscal year ended June 80. 1905, during which
time that trade increased from $50 600 900
annually to more than 1925 900 900, Illus
trates the possibilities of American foreign
commerce under intelligent and effective
methods 1t has long bee the opinion Of
foremost statesmen and economists that
the North and South American countries
and the orient furnish fields for trade
which particularly belong to the United
States. In the face, however, of agrees
sive work done by all the competing nations
of Europe 1t will, 1t Is evident, require the
most efficient organization and the most
careful and constant attention by this gov
eminent and all Its agents as well as by
exporters to hold the full American share
in these great trade fields. The bureau of
manufactures is making notable strides In
that direction.

Gov. George E. Chamberlain of Oregon
said:
"A short time since I received a letter
asking my views upon the subject of a
change of inauguration day to a later date.
and in answering the inquiry stated that L
know of no good reason why a date which
had been adopted years ago as Inaugural
ton day should be changed. l really had
not given the subject any consideration, but
in the light of your letter | am forced to

the month of March had not occurred to
me, and can appreciate the dangers which
beset the public, who, in order to witness
the inauguration of a President, are COM
PEELED to be in rain or snow during the
whole period covered by the ceremony"
Gov. John b. Brady of Alaska:
Il should like to be able to do something
to help along the effort to make this
change. Experience has left no doubt as
to the desirableness of another date for
this great function"
Gov. f. Y. Sarles of North Dakota:
Il am heartily in accord with the change
of inaugural date as suggested and will
cheerfully concur in the decision arrived at
when the matter comes up for final dis
posal. The change, in my opinion, should
be made not only for the valid reasons
stated in your letter, but also to accom-
modate many people who are members OF

Suggests Some Day in May.

Gov. n. B. Broward of Florida, said:
"In reply to your question. which is. DO
you favor change Of date for inauguration
day from March to later period?' would
say that some day in May would be much
better in my judgment than the 4th of
March. l believe that a great many lives
would be spared that are now sacrificed to
pneumonia and diseases OF that kind,
caused by exposure on the 4th day of
March at our national Inauguration"
Chief Justice c. c. Mott. United States
Court Of Claims, in response to the resolu-
lions Of the bar on the death Of Judge
Lawrence Weldon, said:
But that day which, needlessly and ruth
lessly. is allowed every four years to smite
SO many, to strike down the young and the
aged and bring danger and discomfort to
thousands and sickness and anxiety to
many an American houSehold-that day
gave him his death blow. The brief period
which fate then assigned to him witnessed
broken health and lessened vitality and
withered hopes-a period which has often
been assigned to other men-a great pa
geant at the beginning. pneumonia at the
end

Gov. s. H. Elrod of South Dakota:
1T will be a pleasure to aid in any way
that l can. 1t seems to be very necessary
that the date should be changed. Person
ally l am in favor of having the date
changed from March to April 20, the day
on which Washington was first inaugu-
rated"
Gov. John c. Cutler of Utah:
Il am in strongly in favor of the proposed
change to some time in the latter part OF
April early in May. The present time,
March 4, is inconvenent, as nearly all state
legislatures are in session, thus denying the
opportunity to many who would otherwise
attend the inaugural ceremonies. The UNI
pleasant weather makes 1t very unpleasant
and endangers life and health"
Gov. E. w. Hoch of Kansas:
Il have long advocated a change of the
day and will be glad to cooperate with the
governors Of other states in using what in
nuence may legitmately be used to bring
about the desired change"
Gov j. NJ. Terrell of Georgia:
Replying to your letter of the 2lst in
slant, will say that in my opinion the peo-
pie of Georgia, at least those who have
given the matter thought, are convinced
that so important a function as the inaugu-
ration of a President of the United o.ates
should take place at season which would
not endanger the health and life of the
flower of our land-many of whom are at
tracted to Washington by this most impos-
ing spectacle of our government. Severe
and Indictment weather detractS in many
other ways from the interest in any event,
no matter how imposing, and | cannot but
think that the interests of the people and
their government, as well as their pleasure
in this great OCCASION would be better SUBJ
served by changing the day of the naugu-
ration to a later season, possibly some time
in April or May, when Washington can give
promise of the best and brightest weather

WASHINGTON, March l7.--General Council
Clough. on behalf Of the Northern Secuh-
ties Company, to-day asked the Supreme
Court 10 issue at once its mandate In the
case recently decided against z. H. Harr-
man and others. Mr. Clough said that
until the issuance Of the mandate the In
junction granted by the United States
Circuit Court for the District Of New Jersey
restraining the distribution on a pro rata
basis Of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern shares held by the Securities
company would stand thus tying up

Securities company that this was good
reason for the immediate sending down
OF the mandate.
Maxwell Everts Of counsel for Hartman

ground that the mandate should not issue
until the opinion of the court had bean
handed down.

vided that such motions should be In writing,

THE NATIONAL GUARDIANSHIP
CONTIGUOUS Authority TO
NAME ONE rs QUESTIONED.

Some Republicans Declare That II was
Understood when COFtelyOu was
Elected That He Would Resign a.
Soon as the Campaign was over.
WASHINGTON, March lin connection
with the gossip going on in Washington
relative to the acting Craftsmanship Of the
Republican national committee, the ques-
ton was raised to-day at to whether Chair
man COrtelyou has authority to make
selection. The contention is made that
whatever power Of this kind was vested In
the chairman at the time Of the organization
Of the committee in Chicago last June was
Tor the campaign period only.
II Is understood that Senator Scott Of
West Virginia, a member OF the national
committee and the executive committee.
raised this question in comforting with
party leaders interested in the party or
ganization. Senator Scott however, de-
clined to discuss the matter.
Chairman Cortelyou asked to be excused
from an interview, but one Of his close
friends made the statement that the chair
man Undoubtedly has full authority to name
a Vice-chairman. He has the same au-
thority to name vce-chairnan that was
given Chairman Hanna in the campaign
OF 1900, was the statement Of this friend.
some republican leaders who have been
following the organization discussion of
the last week with intense interest recalled,
when the question Of Mr.. Cortelyou's au-
thorlty was raised to-day, that at the time
the national committee met Immediately
upon the adjournment Of the national con-
vention the statement was freely made
that opposition to Mr. Cortelyou for the
Craftsmanship was Withdrawn, or repressed,
because Of the understanding that he would
resign the craftsmanship after the campaign
was over and let the committee choose u
own head.
inoss who are now contending that
Chairman Cortelyou has no authority 10
name a vice-chairman, say that whatever
authority was vested in the chairman,
80 far as the naming Of officers was CON
cerned, was for campaign purposes only,
and that after the campaign was over
he would merely continue TO discharge
the regular duties Of a chairman, or resign,
in which event the selection Of chairman
would rest entirely with the committee
While there IL no positive evidence Of
an impending clash between Mr.. Cortelyou
and the committee, It is apparent that the
situation has become extremely delicate,
70 say the least and that much depends
upon the attitude assumed and the action
taken by Mr.. Cortslyou, who II understood

that the chief cause Of the trouble II the
chronic shortage Of food owing 70 the dis
tribution Of land not keeping pace with the
constant increase Of tho population, but
the mobilization Of troops and the return
