NINTH OF THE FIFTH.

Rejected bv Court-Brown, 1; Iau
kea, 2.
In the Fourth of the Fifth there were
no reflections by the court.
Brown made a gain of six votes in
the Eighth Precinct, Fifth District, in
which instance Mr.. Kinney had previ-
ously called attention to the fact that
the envelope containing the ballots had
been mutilated and a slit made across
the reverse side beneath the seal large
enough for ballots to be removed and
returned.
CHIEF JUSTICES STATEMENT.
When all the precincts has been ac-
| counted for Judge Frear said: cit
looks as if Mr.. Brown was one ahead. -
He stated that this was merely a pre-
liminary step in the proceedings.
Judge Gear counsel for Brown said:
"That is the way we have figured it.
We rest our case.
Mr.. Kinney then arose and stated:
"Then we have evidence to present.
Judge Frear asked him to present his
evidence. Mr.. kinney presented the
paper envelope from the Eighth Pre-
cinct Fifth District. I'VE claim that
it appears on the face of it absolutely
and eonclusively that the bag had been
opened We will introduce the three
inspectors and offer evidence that the
paper bag put inside the cloth bag was
i'll lerfect condition when put in.
Inspector Barker, who was placed in
the witness box, said that the bag mad
three seals on it when it left his hands
and was placed in the cloth bag. He
went on to explain how the ballots
were counted. This was done by M.
Stroup, who read the names with Bar
ker looking on and Ed Fountain tally
in. Fen Fabian, Isaac Cockett and !
J,m kupihea, whom Mr.. Kinney desig-
nate,! as Browns representatives, Were
leaning over the rail and table and
wal :Il.ed the proceedings closely, which
w-re conducted in the glare of an elec-
trio crop light. No objection was made
by these watchers to the result of the
count of the ballots.
Wren an objection was made by Gar
to certain question, Mr.. Kinney said
it was his purpose to bring out test
rrlony to prove that the bag had been
tampered with. He said he would have |
similar evidence to offer for the Fifth !
of the Fourth District. He said that
his client had not been property pro-
tected in his rights He said there !
was not a single safeguard on behalf of ;
his client.

the privilege of showing the facts" he I,
said.
Mr.. Gear said that Mr.. Kinney was a !
little late in offering his evidence. He
said that his side had shown affirma- |
lively that these ballots had not been

OF the United States should be abolished
! because, as has already been explained in
these letters, it is regarded by them as
an imposition, and makes them very angry
and indignant every time they have to
pay 1t. The mercantile trade in Mexico.
both wholesale and retail, is almost eXclu-
sively In the hands Of Germans, French
men and Spanlrds, and, for geCG raphical
reasons, they should ma turally buy their
goods in the United States. 1t goes with
out saying that 1t would be advisable for
us to do every thing reasonable to induce
them to trade with us and avoid every
thing that would have tendency to drive
them away.
You will notice by the figures l have
given above that the imports into Mexico
from Great Britain last year amounted to
S2o,344, 643. They consisted chiefly of cot
ton goods and other wearing apparel,
hardware and other building material,
drugs and medicines, paper and stationery.
machinery and apparatus, and other mer-
chandfse which might have been furnished
by the United States. similar amount
of the same classes of articles was import
ed from Germany. and Sic. 3S3 ,255 Of silks,
ribbons, millinery and other dress goods
and wines and brandies from France. AS
We import those same articles from the
same sources there is very little competi-
ton in the Mexican trade between the two
countries, but at least 40 Per cent of the
retail merchants of Mexico are French
men, and they might be induced to buy a
considerable portion of their stocks in the
United States.

foreigner is compelled to pay when he
comes over the border, fs especially annoy
ing to Frenchmen and to Germans AL
most every day there is a row on the train
between the immigration inspector, who is
required to collect the money, and some
French or German merchant, who consid-
ers the tax an outrage particularly as he
may be the only person on the train that

enough for him to fill out blanks with the
information required by the immigration
laws; to state whether he is an anarchist
or polygamist. whether he has ever been
in prison; whether he has $50 IN his pocket
and whether anybody loaned him the
money to pay his fare. Many travellers
consider these questions insults and abso-
lutely refuse to answer them. but they are
required to pay their 81 or the conductor

caption of Lieut.. Rousseau to be Chief OF
Bureau of Yards and Docks" among other
things, you say, when he assumes his
new duties In this city at the beginning of
the new year Lieut.. Rousseau will then
be Rear Admiral Rousseau"
Your paper, Internationally. 1 have no
doubt, has made utterly Incorrect and
misleading statement. To begin with, Mr..
Rousseau has no claim to the title of
lieutenant and will surely have none to
that of rear admiral when he becomes
chief of the bureau. If you doubt this as
sertion, l beg that you will consult the
Navy Register which gives the title and
rank of every officer In the navy. You may
also inspect the directory issued by the
Navy Department of all officers residing in
the District of Columbia. and you will be
convinced OF the fallacy of bestowlng on
any staff officer any line title. They already
have their titles fixed by law and regula
ton, which is rot susceptible of change by

The Postal Card Craze.

The postal card craze, in Europe par
ticularly, has reached enormous dimen-
! sions.. and has practically killed the photo
sorts. The revenues of the postal service
in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France,
Belgium and. to certain extent in Eng
land, show extraordinary gains from this
source, and the receipts of our own Post
Office Department are beginning to bear
evidence of the spread of the fad in this
country.
Paris is the center of the picture postal
card business, and last summer l was told
that not less than 10000 varieties We're Of
fered for sale in that city. One firm alone
issues 400 different picture post most
Of them being reproductions Of scenes of
French country and city life. pictures of
buildings and churches, portraits of popular

news stands and stationery stores. and are
pedd}ed by hundreds Of people upon the
streets. Some of them are very artistic;
soma are very novel. You can have your
own portrait put on a post card for couple
of francs, and there are places in Paris
where you can talk into a photograph and
have the message recorded upon a post
card, which may be mailed to any part of
the world, where the tones of the voice can
be reproduced by another machine These
phonocards, they call them, are made IF

called "sonorine," upon which the register

The returns of the foreign commerce of
the republic of Mexico for the last fiscal
year, ending June 80. 1906. have been re
ceived here and show an enormous increase
in both imports and exports. They indi-
cate the rapid development of the material
resources of our sister republic and the un-
precedented prosperity which her people
have enjoyed during the last few years,
particularly since the adoption or a gold
standard of value.
