NEW YORK, May 20. p. Austin.
chief OF the Bureau OF Statistics Of the
Department of Commerce and Labor, de-
livered an address on the Neglected OPP
portunities in Oriental Markets" before
the Manufacturers Association last
night. The address was accompanied by
a large number of illustrations secured
by Austin during his recent trip around
the world in the interest Of American
commerce. Austin explained that the
pictures depicted the customs and daily
life among the people of the Orient and
suggested the peculiar requirements OF
the markets which exist among them.
The imports Of the Oriental countries
amount to nearly $1,000. 100000 annually"
he said, land more than $1,000, 0oo 900
worth of this is of kind of material
which we of the United States might
supply. Yet we are at present accom-
plishing little. very little. indeed. in sup
plying this great market.
I'm that great section of the Orient
which lies In the tropics and has more
than half Its people and commerce we
supply but per cent Of the 81, ,oo0 ooo,ooo
worth of merchandise imported. and are
making no gains; while Europe, which

makes and sells nothing that we cannot
make and sell. is supplying 66 per cent
of the imports, and steadily increasing
her sales.
''The causes of our failure in the
Orient are quite apparent TO any one
who will take the trouble to visit these
countries and study the requirements OF
the market as created by the habits OF
the consuming population.
THE Oriental people form distinct
section of the commercial world, sec
ton in which the commercial lines ara
as distinctly marked as those which sep
arate the great geographical divisions OF
the world.
THE daily customs of life among the
Orientals differ in such an extreme de-
gree from those of the people Of the oc-
cident that the merchandise manufac-
tured for use in Europe or America, as
rule, is not suited to their habits OF
life.
"The meaning of this is that those
who successfully offer goods to the ORR
entail people obtain this success by offer
ing articles made in form to satisfy the
habits and therefore the requirements Of
those people. This is the secret of sue
cess in Oriental markets"

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

HUNTINGTON, Ind, May 22.-While
Henry Beauchamp, the regular Wabash
operator at Andrews, was temporarily
absent from the Office today Everett Kel-
lam took possession of the train dis
patcher's wire and began to give orders
to the various conductors along the line
regarding the running of trains. Kel-
lam was recently employed in the local
shops of the Erie road and was over
come by the heat and went insane. He
had been a telegraph operator, but
knew nothing about the Wabash system,
and when the operators received his or
ders the greatest confusion resulted.
Orders to hold a certain train were
followed by another to "Send her along
like hell" and in one or two instances
he stumbled on the right number of the
train and this made the mystery deeper.
The operator nearest Andrews finally
threw the wire open and after ground
ing ii got into communication with
train dispatchers along the line and it
was concluded the safest policy to hold
UP all trains till the trouble could be
investigated
When Beauchamp returned and saw
Kellam at his key he summoned assist
ance and the insane man was bound
after a struggle and sent to Jail. The
trouble was explained and the trains
were moved from the stations in which
they were being held.

Thus Asserts Insurance Man
Concerning New York
Solons.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Some ad-
ditional inside light was thrown on
insurance methods in New York to-
day by Representative James A. Goul-
den of that State before the House
committee on Judiciary considering the
Arnes bill for the regulation of insur-
ance in the District of Columbia.
Goulden is general agent of the Penn
Mutual Life Insurance Company in
New York.
Why" he said ''it was a well con-
ceded fact that to be a Senator at AL
bany was worth anywhere from $50, 900
to 100000 a year and that the money
came largely from insurance companies.
This is no secret. Every New York man
knows it. l know it. 1 know it well.
Touching on the subject of campaign
contributions Goulden said that his COM
pany had been coerced into giving 900
to national campaign committee in
1896. He did not say which campaign
committee received the money but re-
marked that the same thing was tried in
1900 and 1904, but without success, owing
to the firm stand taken by Plimpton
of Massachusetts. one of the directors,
who declared that every director who
voted for such contribution would be
held personally liable for the amount
The hearings on the Ames bill closed
with the testimony of Goulden.

HONOLULU, May 22.-Captain Berger
has transformed the Royal Hawaiian
Band into a great Glee Club of forty
five members. He has for years been
able to transform it into an orchestra at

Captain Berger has probably tho 1arg-

The idea originated with Captain
Berger several months ago, when prep

gan to be made. The experience last
year at the Portland exposition demou-
strated the benefit of glee club in con-

songs were the most taking features.
For years Captain Berger has been able
