Startling Trade Figures.

The final trade statistics for the year
1905 confirm the figures Of the prelimi-
nary forecasts and show a phenomenal
degree of prosperity throughout the coun-
try. So enormous was the product of
farm, mine and factory that, had it been
moved at one time, it would have filled
80, 1884, 1857 freight cars, 100000 more
than would have been required in the
prosperous year of 1901. Thirty-three
million freight cars, if made up into one
train of fabulous length, would extend for
a distance of 224, 400 miles, or would
g;rdle the earth about nine times at the
equator. If this mythical train, with the
$4,000 locomotives which would be re-
quired to haul it, had Travelled out into
space on trip to the moon, the leading
moguls would have been putting through
the valleys of the earth's satellite before
the conductors buggy had rumbled out
of the freight yards at the starting point.
Merely to store the cars and engines in
such a train would require the use Of
nearly all the railway mileage in the
United States.

ALARM OVER CHINA,
Army OFFICIALS FEAR CRISIS
IN FAR EAST.
Preparations for Outbreak Being
Made by General stnG-Misxion-
aries Advised to Keep in Toucn
with Treaty Ports.

Reports have come to members of
the general staff of the army from
emma that are more alarming than
are the reports which have become
pubic property, writes a Washington
correspondent. Staff members are
bending every energy to the study of
the Chinese situation and are making
preparations for a crisis in the eastern
empire.
Notwithstanding the Discrimination
shown thus far by Congress to pro-
vide for the proper quartering of more
troops in the Philippines, it is almost
unquestionably the intention of the
army chiefs to reinforce the island
garrison with regiments in addition
to those now on the high seas on the
way to Manila.
The general staff has had it's hand
on the pulse of China for months. Sew
eral army officers recently returned
from that country, and their reports
Of conditions have not relieved the
tension of mind Of the chiefs. One
of the members of the general staff
who recently arrived from China, and
who visited Shanghai, Canton and Pc
king and made trips through various
parts of the country, says that in his
opinion there is only one thing which
can prevent immediate trouble in the
FloWery Kingdom. He declares that
the natives are ready to rise against
the foreigner at the present time, but
that they are held in check by the
more intelligent leaders, who tell them

to wait a while and that then they
can kill not only the foreigners at
hand. but those who are sent to avenge
their deaths.
The people of the United States do
not as yet fully realize the signlfl-
canoe of the governments action in
collecting troops in the Philippines
with a view to the possible outbreak
of hostilities in China. The growing
antiforeign sentiment in the latter
country is too threatening to be ig-
nored. Attacks on missionaries in the
interior and dangerous riots in Shang-
hal and elsewhere, to say nothing OF
the persistent boycotting of Amerl-
can goods and of individual Amer1-
cans. indicate that a ferment through
out large sections Of the empire has
profoundly Influenced the masses OF
the Chinese.
China is a vast enigma which no
foreigner can even pretend wholly TO
understand However, something like
real patriotic movement is growing
ND there. the leaders being students
and merchants in treaty ports, who be-
lieye that it is necessary to overthrow
the old regime, and, while asserting
the dignity of the ancient race to
which they belong, draw all it's ele-
ments together by making common
cause against the supercilious foreign
err. Owing to prejudice, superstition
and other dangerous offshoots of 1g-
norance. the Chinese are capable OF
dreadful outrages when stirred up by
| designing persons. Fortunately the
central government of China is in
ADLER hands than it was at the time or
the Boxer rebellion. There is reason
to hone that it now has the power as
we'll as the desire to restrain the mass
es from making any concerted attack
upon foreigners.
Military spirit in China has had a
great growth since the beginning OF
the war between Russia and Japan.
.sYoung China as represented by the
student class, is mad with desire to
prove its prowess in battle. Mean
while official China has gone to work
methodically to overcome its historic
;mnotence. Under the direction Of its
greatest administrator, Viceroy Yuan
Shih-kai of Chill province, a power
full, well-equipped and well-driiled
army has been brought into existence.
Intelligent observers who witnessed
the recent army maneuyers near Pc
kin report that the effectiveness OF
these yellow soldiers is astonishing.

Transfer of Copper Mines Made to
AmalgaHated Company.


The seven years war Of the cope!
magnates in Montana, which has filed
the courts with lawsuits in which $780,.
600, 900 was involved, and which has been
one of the greatest financial struggles on
record, came to an end Tuesday. The
treaty of peace between L. Augustus
Heinze, the spectacular, and Amalgamat-
ed was the direct result of the deals
which have resulted in the formation of
giant copper and lead trust.
The first public act in this connection
was the filing at Butte, Mont, of papers
by which all the mining ground held by
Heinze, or the United Copper Company,
the ownership of which is in dispute, was
transferred to Thomas F. Cole as trustee.
The transfer also includes the smelter of
the Montana Ore Purchasing Company, q
Heinze corporation.
AS to terms the United Copper Com
pany receives $25,000,000, part cash and
part stock, of the new company. The
proportion of cash is placed at ST., 0O0,-
600 to $20,OO0,000. Under the new ar
rangement the United Copper output,
which has been 100000 pounds of re.
fined copper year, will be reduced to
100000 or 100000 pounds.
The new company, starting with pro-
duction of 25,O00000 to 100000
pounds, will increase that to some TO-.
100000 pounds by opening up properties
which have been closed by injunction.
f. Augustus Heinze entered the Mon
tana copper field in 1895 as an engineer
He soon started smelter and in a little
while became big factor in the copper
field. Meantime Heinze got into trouble
| with his rivals over disputed territory,
| and lawsuits were started. In 1899 the
famous Amalgamated company was organ
lied 1t was headed by Marcus DAILY,
| who was backed by the Rockefellers, II.
II. Rogers, James Stillman and other
| Standard Oil financiers. Heinze fought
the whole crowd, and his knowledge of
local conditions gave him an immense ad-
vantage.

Converts in Philadelphia Number
200 in One Day.
Fifteen thousand persons tried to gain
admittance to the afternoon and evening
Torrey-Alexander revival meetings in the
Philadelphia armory Tuesday. More than
200 converts were recorded as the result
of the days work. The meeting in the
afternoon was for women only and that
at night for men only. They were deciar-
ed to be the largest separate congregations
of men and women that ever gathered for
religious services in Philadelphia. In the
rush to get into the armory one woman
fell and fractured her nose.
The whole city is in the throes OF the
revival movement. 1t is the chief topic OF
conversation in the street cars, in stores
and at the dinner table. Even political
issues are being lost sight of in the re-
ligious enthusiasm.
Striking effects of the revival campaign
are being felt. The policemen of the
three districts in the neighborhood Of the
armory declare that they have had little
or nothing to do since the revival began.
One day last week when the magistrates
appeared for the hearings in these dis
tricts not single prisoner was arraigned.

Two Brotherhocds Unite.
~~~~o~~~~

That the National brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners and the National
Brotherhood of Woodworkers will be
amalgamated within short time was Off
cially announced at Indianapolis the 9TH
err day President Gompers of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, who was there
last week, was instrumental in bringing
about the proposed merger. The time of
the consolidation remains to be fixed.
Two years ago at the national conven-
ton of the carpenters and joiners the ex-
ecutive board was authorized to extend an
invitation to the rival union to join
forces. Several joint meetings have been
held, bat none materialized any plans
until last week Fourteen men compose
the executive boards of the unions. They
are vested with full power to act Secre-
tary Duffy of the carpenters said: "Ali
we have to decide is the date for the
amalgamation. We cannot unite at once,
as it would be unfair to contractors who
employ men in our craft. A date can be.
set and all differences be bridged over
without injury to either union or the
employers. The woodworkers should be-
long to the Carpenters and Joiners'
Union. 1t is true the former do inside
work in houses and mills. They hzVe a
membership of about 10000. But on the
other hand we have a membership of
about 10000, and probably $4,000 men
are inside workmen. The move will be
a mutual benefit"
