OUR RUSSIA TRADE
y Is BADLY REPORTED
Peculiar System Of Book
Keeping Credits American
Imports to
COUNTRY OF THE CARRIER
England, Germany, France, Den
mark, Sweden and Norway
Credited With Cotton

Washington, d. c., Feb. 6.-Accord-
ing TO the statistics just issued the
trade of the United States with Rus
STA fer the fiscal year of 1905 showed
a balance in favor of this country
amounting to S5,2OOOOO. The total
trade aggregated s2SSOO 900, of which
the exports from this country amount
ed TO $170OO,OOO, and the imports from
Russia, $11,S00,0OO. In the previous
year the total trade amounted to S31,.
100000, but the falling off is easily
accounted fcr by the disturbed condi-
ton of internal affairs i'm Russia.
The Bureau of Statistics Is of the
opinion that these figures do not ac-
curately represent the aggregate trade
Tor the reason that because of the
lack OF direct steamship lines between
American and Russian ports the goods
shipped from this country and ulti-
mately reaching Russia, and vice
versa, are in many cases consigned to
various European ports, like Liver
pool, Bremen, Hamburg ETC., and
thence transhipped TO the ports of
ultimate destination, or, in the case
OF American shipments TO Russia,
placed aboard the railroad cars for
overland transportation This is par
ticularly true OF raw cotton. by far
the pargest item of expectation 10 Rus
sia from this country. AS a matter
OF fact, the officially recorded i'm
ports Of American cotton into Russia
IN the five year period ended Decem-
Der 81, 1904, are stated in the official
reports OF the Bureau of Statistics 10
nave been 266,00600D pounds, or less
than 30 per cent Of the direct imports
recorded by the Russian custom au-
thorittes. Nor can it be said that the
RUSSIAN figures credit this country
with all the cotton shipments origin
atlng here. Taking, for example, the
Russian figures of cotton imports for
the calendar lear, 1903, the latest
period for which imports by countries
are available, we find that besides
Sls5o0,O0O worth of raw cotton cred
tied to the Uhited States, imports OF
raw cotton to the amount of $24,300,-
600 are credited 10 Great Britain, Ger
many, Denmark. Belgium, France,
sweden and Norway, all countries
winch do not produce cotton, but re-
ceiYe the greater part l75 per cent?
OF their supply from the United
States.

NAVY YARDS MAY
HAVE TO CLOSE
Congress Failed to Put ApprO'

furIOuehine of Employees, CanCe'

MOST OF YARDS INVOLVED

Brooklyn, ~ Y, Feb. "a feeling
of uncertainty prevails among the Of
ficers and employers connected with
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, owing to the
disquieting reports concerning the
immediate future of that institution.
It is said that the Navy Department
is confronted with the prospect of
having to close the navy yard at
Brooklyn, as well as at other points.
This unusual state of affairs is the
result of a failure of the House APP
preparation Committee to include in
the Urgent Deficiency Bill items sent
in by the Bureau of Yards and Docks
to cover existing obligations for the
remainder of the current fiscal year
and for the maintenance of plants at
naval yards and stations. Rear Ad-
miral Endicott, chief OF the bureau,
recently presented an estimate
amounting to S175,000, to meet the
deficiency covering nearly all the
navy yards, and of this amount $3S,000
has been actually obligated, and must,
in any event, be specially provided for
by congress. Somehow, the house
committee failed to include the pro-
vision in the bill, and unless some
thing is done in the snate to furnish
the money required for the mainten-
ance of naval plants the Bureau Of
Yards and Docks will be required TO
economic by Withdrawing from some
of the obligations it has imposed upon
the government This can only be
done by furloughing employees, by can
ceiling contracts for coal and water
and by cutting off all expenditures, a
course which wuold have a far reach
ing effect. OF couse, if the funds for
lighting, power and labor are not
forthcoming, it will be necessary TO
stop work in the naval plants in
Brooklyn, and the situation seems GER
tain Il be remedied as soon as the
real significance of the committees
oversight is fully known.

SENATOR SMOOT
IS INVESTIGATED
Once More Farce, Called
SmOOt Case, Takes Time
OF Senate.
MILLION WOMEN SIGNED
Protest Fills FOrly.fiVe Volumes,
or One Each For
States.
MILLION WOMEN SIGNED

Washington, ID. c., Feb 6.-The
hearing in the case of United States
Senator SmOot, which has been post
poned from January 25th, to enable
Hon. John G.. Carlisle, counsel for the
)protestants to be presnt To interTO-
gate the Witnesses, was begun today
before the Senate Comittee on Privil-
eyes and Elections, with Senator Bur
rows in the chair. A large number of
witnesses will be heard and strong
protests against Smoot be submitted.
The success of the famous petition
that was presented in the House of
Representatives against Roberts has
prompted the getting up of a still
larger petition against Smoot in the
senate. 1t was signed by over one
million persons, members of the Ma
tiOnal League of wpmen's organiZa-
tions, and is the most numerously
signed protest ever presented in the
United States senate. The petition
was bound in forty-five volumes, each
volume containing the names of the
signers for one state. Some of the
volumes have already been submitted
by the senators for the respective
states. while others will be presented
to the senate on the day ON which the
Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions will submit its report on the
SmOot case. The protests for Utah
will be intrusted to SeantOr Suther-
land, who will vote in favor of Sen
ator Smoot but, if he should decline
to introduce it, the protestanJs will
ask the senator from some other state
to present it, on the grounds that the
right of petition shall not be denied
to the citizens of Utah. Senator
Sutherland, although favorable to
Senator Smoot, his colleague, will,
however, probably submit the protest,
with the explanation that he is sub
mitting il by request"
Postponed Until Tomorrow
The resumption of the hearing in
the case of Senator SmCOt before the
senate committee on privileges and
election, which was 70 have been COM
mencei today, was postponed until

DIAMOND RING RETURNED
TO MRS. BALLlNG

Last Saturday Steve Balling, pro-
prietor of the Iceberg saloon, reported
TO the police that his brother-in law,
William Edsinger, had disappeared
from his house, and likewise a dia-
mond ring belonging to Mrs. Balling,
valued at $50, and II was thought that
Edsinger had departed for his former
home in Pennsylvania. This after
noon Edsinger, the young man accused
of the theft, appeared at The Evening
Citizen Office and stated that he had
been done a great wrong as he had not
stolen the ring, that he was not on his
way to Pennsylvania, and that Mr.
Balling had the ring. When called
upon by a representative of this paper
Mr. Balling stated that it was true
that he had the ring, but that Edsing-
er had stolen It, and, seeing the ac-
count of the theft in The Citizen, had
got a case of cold feet" and returned
the ring, and" continued Mr.. Balling
I'VE don't want any more said about
it in the papers

there are no such things then what
nonsense for congress to enact laws de
claring that "all rates shall be rea-
sonable and just and that all unjust
and unreasonable rates are unlawful" /"
which is the language of the present
law and must be the fundamental
principle of all laws for the regulation
of rates.
Laws of this class, making those
things criminal which the day before
their enactment had been regarded as
lawful, must be intelligent and ex-
plainable, so as to appeal that that
sense of justice which is mate in the
American people, in order to be en-
forced.
II is probable that such an investi-
cation would prove that the net rates
the remainder of the rates after
deduction cf the rebates-are the rea-
sonable and just rates which should
be made the tariff rates, open to all
shippers alike.
1t would, therefore. $. en- to be wise

interstate commerce investigation com
mittee. of, say, seven members, four
members tlS be appointed by the pres
ident and three members to be ap-
pointed by the railway companies.
One member should be a sound law
yer: one a mathematician, one expert
enced in railway accounts; one expert
enced in calculating costs of trans
portation; one experienced in the act
ual movement of trains and the use
of rolling stock; one experienced in
the details of station or terminal serv-
ice, and one experienced in present
rates.
The committee should have author
ity to demand from the railway com
panies a new line of statistical facts
which have never been compiled, re
lating to costs and relative costs as
between the different conditions under
which commodities are transported.
A single illustration: The commit
tee should demand statistics showing
the commodities which require, under
certain conditions, the hauling of only
half a ton of non-paying car to eacf
ton of pay freight, and, under Other
conditions, require the hauling O

NEW MACHINE INVENTED
SAILS | NAIR OR WATER.

Boston, Mass, Feb. 6.-Scientists
and inventors in this city are highly
interested in the announcement Just
made that Charles NJ. Davis, of
Brighton, has invented a flying ma
chine, which is constructed on en-
tirely new and original principles, and
Is said to promise remarkable results.
The inventor says that his machine
is neither freak nor fake and win
surely do what he expects it to do.
1t has neither a gas tank nor a balloon
attachment and not even wings, yet,
it Is said that the model just COM
pleted. ascended 10 any height without
difficulty and without danger of a
sudden drop. The inventor has de-
signed the machine primarily for
use on a battleship. The machine
will move equally well in the air and
in the water and can be easily carried
like a lifeboat. Three aluminium pro-
pellers furnish the motive power in
either water or air. Mr.. Davis is try
ing to get some eastern capitalists in
terested in his invention and will soon
start to build a model on a larger
scale.
