WASHINGTON LETTER.

tfroH our Regular D0rreSpOHdentl
Washington, March oath, 1906.
Senator Tillman says the debate
Oh the rate bill will last six weeks
more and that the Hepburn bill
will be materially amended before
it passes the Senate. Senator Dol
liver says that the bill will be pass
ed without amendment and the
debate will not last more than
week or ten days longer. Anyone
who is interested can draw their
own deductions from these diverse
views. At the rate the debate is
now progressing and from the
number of Senators who still want
TO speak, it looks as though
Senator Tillman's forecast would
be more nearly correct. OF course
it is impossible to foretell what
may happen to the rate bill and
the friends of the railroads
are trying hard to put some
loop-hole in it that will render
the proposed legislation of NO ef-
feet. But it can be said that if the
bill goes to the White House in
such shape as to not meet with the
Presidents approval, he will veto
1t as surely as he can sign his own
name and will call an extra session
so thresh out the whole matter
again. But it is hardly to be sup
posed that even the enemies of fair
legislation will go to such lengths
and there is always in the back
ground the fear as Senator Tillman
bluntly put it when he said that if
the present congress could not
turn out a fair rate regulation bill,
the people would see to it that the
next congress was composed of
men who were differently minded.
The Statehood bill has gone to
conference. There was strong
show Of resistance to submitting it
to conference at all, but now it is
out of the way for the time being
and it remains to be seen whether
the House in the end will have the
temerity to defy the Senate and the
obvious wishes of the people of
Arizona and probably the majority
in New Mexico.
All the talk that has been made
about the imminence of an out
break in China and the necessity
of Immediately sending warships
and emergency troops to the far
east, seems to be dying down.
Reports have reached the State
Department that the anti-foreigh
feeling is dying down and that the
boycott is apt to fall by its own
weight. The Navy Department
has withdrawn the battle ships
that it had sent to North China
waters and the bulk of the Ameri-
can fleet is now at Shanghai and
southwark. The agents of the
State Department are alert and not
apt to be caught mapping, for
though the outlook at present is
promising, calm in China fire.

our Trade WIN Rnaaln

Trade OF the United States with Russia.
including the Asiatic part. during the
fiscal year 1905, as shown by the records
OF the Bureau OF Statistics, Department
OF Commerce and Labor. amounted to
s2s, 500 900, Of which sll 500 900 repre-
sent the imports into the United States
and Sl7 00O,00 the exports of the United
States to Russia. These figures are some
what lower than the figures for the pre-
ceding year, when the total trade figures
we're in excess Of S3l 100000 (of which
Sll 300, 900 were imports and $40 400 600
exports). The shrinkage is due largely
to the war and the unsettled condition of
the country.
1t should be noted that these figures
do not include the entire trade movement
between the countries. Owing to the
absence of direct steamship connection
between the two countries, goods shipped
from this country and ultimately reaching
Russia, and vice versa, are in many eases
consigned to various European ports
liverpool, Bremen, Hamburg and others)
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 particularly true
Of raw cotton, by far the largest item Of
expectation TO Russia from this country
As a matter OF fact, the officially recorded
imports Of American cotton into Russia
during the five year period ending De
cember 3lst, 1904, were 919 ,534 600
pounds, while our exports to that country
during the ive-year period ending June
SOth, 1904, are stated in the official re-
ports of the Bureau of Statistics to have
been 266 100000 pounds, or less than 30
per cent Of the direct imports recorded by
the Russian customs authorities.
Nor can it be said that the Russian
figures credit this country with all the
cotton shipments originating here. Taking
for example the Russian figures of cotton
imports for the calendar year 1908. the
latest period for which imports by coun-
tries are available we find that besides
$40 100000 worth Of raw cotton credited
to the United States, imports Of cotton
TO the amount of s24, 300, 900 are credited
to Great Britain, Germany. Denmark
Belgium, France, Sweden and Norway
all countries which do not produce cotton
but receive the greater part about 75 per
cent? Of their supply from the United
States.

The.oarbaee ouestIon.

We give room in this issue 70 a very in
teresting report Of the manner in which
garbage is handled in Atlantic City n. j.,
to which process the attention Of City
Council has been called by official repre-
sentatives Of the concern attending to
garbage collection and reduction there.
The report was written by a reporter Of
Every Evening, who made careful and
thorough investigation in behalf of this
paper, and not at the request or under the
supervision Of any Of the parties inter-
ested in the garbage reduction plant
We also print, in the same connection,
a proposition which has been made to the
City Council Of Wilmington from the man.
ager of garbage reduction plant in Jack
sonville, Florida, in which the writer sets
forth what his company can do and what
IL would like to contract to do for this
city
Here is solid information which the
members Of City Council may digest to
advantage in considering the garbage
question. The Importance of the subject
is beyond doubt We have shown how
it costs the city of Wilmington more than
$4,000 a year to collect and dispose of
garbage under existing arrangements,
and how it viii cost about S25, 900 a year
Tor the next three years if these arrange
ments shall be continued A proposition
has been formally made for the perform
ance. OF this service in a sanitary manner
and at a large reduction in expense.
That the City Council should give due
heed to the information which Every
Evening presents today goes without say
ing IL is up to the members of that body
to do the best by the taxpayers.

To Increase the Price OF Shoes.


At a recent meeting, held in Boston, Of
New England shoe manufacturers for the
purpose of considering the trade situation
q statement was issued in which it was set
forth that an increase Of 50 per cent in the
cost Of staples in the shoe industry had
taken place during the last few years.
The statement added: 1--WE are denied
access to the open markets Of the world by
the senseless duty of 10 per cent on hides.
II protects no industry and the only pur-
pose II serves is to enable the Beef Trust
to levy tribute on the people. Il is in
evitable that the increased cost of ma
terials must now be either added to the
prico of the shoes or removed from the
uppers and soles. II Is financially unsafe
for any manufacturers further to shave
the already inadequate and insufficient
profit"
In other words, for the purpose Of put
ting money into the treasury of the Beef
Trust, the shoe manufacturers must in
crease the price Of their shoes. That this
increase will fall upon the buying public.
and fall heavily, goes without saying.
OF course, when it comes to increasing
the selling price of shoes, both the manu-
facturers and retailers will see that thew
are amply protected. This is business.
But who will protect the people ? They
will have no protection. They will simply
have to dig down in their pockets and take
out the tribute'of added price which the
Beef Trust demands and which Congress
grants IT,
The removal Of the tax on hides would
mean more 10 the manufacturers than the
amount of tax involved. Il would give
them the benefit Of competition in the
markets where hides are sold, instead of
compelling them to depend on the prod
ucts Of the Beef Trust. The difference
would be appreciated by the people in
lower, instead Of higher, prices for shoes.
Ex-Gov. Douglas of Massachusetts, has
stated publicly that free hides would mean
a reduction Of fifty cents a pair in the shoes
made by him.
But Congress is obdurate and the
people will have to endure this tax. along
with many other burdens of the protective
tariff.

is a complaint" he said, "we immedi-
ately send one of our men out 20 make
an investigation, and if it is just com
plant, the company is Immediately noti-
fed by telephone and the garbage must
be collected at once. As a matter of
fact, many of the complaints are found,
on investigation, to be groundless. In
Atlantic City the people are required to
have covered water-t tight reeeptacles for
garbage, and they must be such that two
men can handle If they do not comply
with this rule the collectors are not re-
quired to take the garbage, although
many a time they do it."
Mr.. Glenn said there are about $500
buildings In Atlantic City from which
the garbage is collected. In this con
nection IL was explained by Superintend-
ent Baeder Of the reduction plant that
the collectors are confronted by many
difficulties. In some sections of the city
houses are in the rear of other houses
and they can be reached only by oircui-
tous routes. Many of the houses are oc-
cupied only during part of the year and
the collectors have to be very watchful
to know when such houses are occupied
for they are cautioned not 10 visit un-
occupied houses
A. n. Heston the city comptroller, who
has oiliciated in that capacity for 10
years, and has the accounting Of all the
city money, is also pleased with the
change to the new system He considers
It an improvement which is gratifying
TO the citizens. In looking over some re-
ports of his department, while the gar
bage was being disposed Of under the old
plan, he found that in 1900 the total
collection reported was II ,GlO tons, and
in the next year lO,0s5. In the latter
year, according 10 the report, the col
lector received S0,0SG, while the cost Of
labor at the city plant was S4,l06l0
There were also other expenses. The now
abandoned crematory was new then

fore, at cost Of about S93,0 In 1902
the total cost Of collection and disposal
was SOS, ,305; in 1908, S39.O 900; in loOt
S32iOOOi in 1905, $4,000. This last men
toned figure was the total Of two con
tracts, one for collecting, amounting to
Sls,IOO, made with the Atlantic Fares
Co., and the other, s20,30O, with the At
lantic Product Co., the same people, it is
said, being interested in both. On Sep
tember lst of last year one concern, the
Atlantic Product Co., took both con-
tracts, at S43,3O0, OF, rather, one con
tract for the collection and disposal. Mr.
Heston said that under the old plan the
collection cost from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year.
No adverse comments were heard
although many people were spoken TO on
the subject.
DR.. Frank II. Mcfarland of Philadel-
phia is presiden. OF the Atlantic Product
Co., which now has the contract.
At the plant it was explained to the
reporter that the company has an in.

When Gen. James H. Wilson criticised
the appointment Of Henry c. Conrad as

name. When Mr.. Conrad replied to Gen.
Wilson's criticism, he likewise did so in
the open. But when an alleged Demo
cratic lawyer essayed to come to the
assistance of Mr.. Conrad and attacked
Gen. Wilson vindictively, he adopted the
methods Of the sneak and the coward and
hid behind a nom de plume This con
