would have been easy TO win over the loyal

of the present trouble. The delay consequent on
this inaction he says, led TO the formation OF an
alliance OF the reform party and a group of ter
rorists and anarchists-a fatal step which "I am
convinced viii strike the Russian emancipation
movement barren for many long years to come
and be fraught with unending calamities TO the
nation"
The writer proceeds 10 refer to the great
hopes raised by Count Whites call 10 power

states Geological Survey. 1S4416 building per-
mits were issued in the forty-seven leading cities
OF the United States ana buildings valued at
Ho4o'o93,G4l we're erected. This shows consid-
erahle gain in building operations over the rec
ora OF the previous year. as the number Of per-
mits given in 1904 was 139,373 and the cost of
the buildings erected was S46669 TO
The largest expenditure was made by New
YORK which put up buildings to the value of
sl'S"32,521 on 10o43 permits. It is interesting
to note that Philadelphia, its ancient rival
erected more buildings. having obtained a third
more permits-or 15.953-but spent much less
money-s34. .416 745-in so doing. It is sienif
cant, also that Brooklyn with 1862 permits
and an expenditure of S73 OH. 700, is second on
the list

FOREIGN TRADE IN MANCHURIA.
Merchants at Peking Expect Better Terms
Under Civil Rule.

Peking, June 25.-The leading commercial men
are now taking more hopeful view of the pros
poets for getting a share of the trade of Man
churia and it appears that the Japanese govern
ment seems willing to fulfil its promise of an
open door in that country; at least it has shown
a better disposition than the military authorities.
There has been friction between the civil and
military authorities concerning the policy in re-
gard TO foreign trade privileges in Manchuria.
The civil authorities more liberal, and ii is
believed that when the military administration
is withdrawn, foreigners will have greater free
dom.

Chinese customs at Dalny to collect duties on

[Rv relegraph . The Tribune J

Hackensack ". J.. June 24.-The discovery OF
two tin boxes, containing two hundred dyna-
mite blasting caps, in flint sand. shipped 10 the
Federal Match Company's plant at Garheld
n j. makes Prosecutor Koester and Detective
Courier of Hackensack, believe that an attempt
was made to blow up that plant and kill several
worknlen.
The discovery was made on Saturday AFTER
noon when John Bennett was shovelling sand
from a box received two days ago from west
Virginia Fortunately the shovel only touched
the package sufficiently to warn him of its pres
ence The tin boxes were wrapped in two sheets
of Philadelphia paper dated April 5. 1905.
The boxes are marked "Quadruple blasting
caps"
Detective Courier. who was for several years
a contractor and has had much experience with
dynamite caps, said to-day that had Bennett 5
shovel hit the boxes with sufficient force to eN-
plode one of the caps the two hundred cases
would have undoubtedly exploded, Wrecktng the
plant and killing several men.
The Superintendent Of the match plant said
he could not think of any reason why an at
tempt should be made to destroy life and prop
erty in such a cowardly manner, and that there
had been no trouble with the workmen en-
ployed by the company.

that the forecasts of the Weather Bureau be print
