When the couple were taken before
Judge MalOney the complaint was read to
them 1t alleged that on Feb. "A of the
present year they conspiTed by sending
communications through the mails to L.
M Felshaw, dentist of this city, threat
ening TO expose some alleged relations
that existed between the dentist and a
certain woman who is at present outside
the city, providing he did not remit the
sum OF SlUO as hush money. 1t the letter,
which, 1t is alleged, McLain die
tated and his wife wrote, it is explained
that if the amount mentioned is not forth
coming the writer would expose him to a
Mr. j. by letter and through the Ogden
ana Idaho Falls newspapers. The letter
went so far as to quote an article as il
might appear in the papers. and asked
the recipient of the communication how
he would like to have that come out. The
letter as quoted in the complaint tells Mr..
telShaW that he might consider himself
lucky they were not asking for 800, and
the question is asked what is $50 when
compared with the scandal that would
follow the threatened expose. The writer
claimed to re i'm desperate straits and
would leave the city as soon as the money
was received.

threats contained i'm the communication
and turned the letters received over to the

Mr. McI4ain stated to The Herald that

IMMENSE TRADE
WITH DOMINION
Business Of This Country With Can
ada Amounted to $202,949,-
213 Last Year.

Washington. March 25-Trade of the
United States with Canada in the fiscal
year 1905 aggregated 500, 949. 213, against
$50, 429, 096 in 1895, according to a bulletin
issued by the department of commerce
and labor. 1t shows that in the twenty
years from 1870 to 1888 our trade with
Canada increased S67,OO0,000 and from 1885
to 1905 it increased S114OOO.OOO. The larger
portion of this growth has been on the
export side The imports increased from
Sz7,S67,6f5 in 1915 to So, 469, 6Ss in 1903. and
exports advanced from S34,547, zig in $50
TO SI4052J, 5s1 in 1903.
This rapid growth in trade relations
with Canada says the bulletin, is es-
pecially interesting in view of the vary
ing conditions to which commerce with
Canada has been subjected. During the
period from 1888 to 1866 a reciprocity
treaty was in force between Canada and
the United States, but in the latter year
It was terminated so that commerce. be-
tween the two countries was unaffected
by special trade arrangements until
April, 1891, when the United States was
placed at a slight disadvantage as com
pared with the United Kingdom, products
from that country entering the Dominion
of Canada being admitted, by special ar
rangement, at a reduction of 121k per cent
of the tariff levied on imports from other
countries. On Aug. /, 1898, the reduction
on British products was increased TO %
per cent and on July /, 1900, was still fur
Their increased to 80 1-3 per cent. Despite
these advantages in favor Of goods en-
teTing Canada from the United Kingdom,
exports from that country grew from So
743 ~ in 1897 to SIS, 603 500 ia 1894, while eX-
ports to Canada from the United States

st. Petersburg, March 13.-The cleo

council of the empire-Russia' first
pariiament-bear only a slight resem-
blance to elections in the United States
The ministry of election is both COM
pIicated and confusing, and the lack
or political organization on the part
or the innumerable parties in the field
serves to increase the uncertainty of
the results For the douma, or lower
chamber, practically the old machinery
employed by the peasants in their
communes and villages for the regula-
uon OF petty questions of self-goYern-
ment IS employed, and in the cities the
ministry for the election of doumas or
town councils is used. The members of
the imperial douma are elected by pro-
Vinciai congresses, composed of repre-
Sentat1Ves of four classes, the peasants.
the Workmen, the land owners and the
city population as a class. Certain of
the larger cities, however. like ST. Pc
tersDuTg, Moscow and Odessa, elect a
certain number of representatives ire

are located.

for satisfying the land hunger of the
peasants, who comprise so per cent of
Russia's immense population. Many
projects have been submitted to the

mass of information on the subject, but
instead of presenting project the gov
eminent would prefer to leave a solu-
ton of the question, if possible, to par
lament.
Regarding the financial outlook, the
present difficulty in securing a loan is
due rather to the political situation
abroad than to internal conditions, as
foreign financiers realize that they can
