samples of each of these and many
other articles of Phoenician commerce
being on exhibition in this section.
the slaves being represented by mlnia
ture figures, and 1t Is noticeable that
their color was not always black.
Thus the commerce of the passing
centuries passes in review, and to the
limited articles Of trade of the Phoenl-
clans are added in the early centuries Of
the Christian era such things as SILK,
hog bristles, cork, lemons and oranges,
tea, rice, beads, etc. There the Romans
appear as the bright and shining stars
In the commercial world, the Phoeni-
clans and Egyptians having given way
to the sway of the Caesars. With the
Romans came such articles Of COM
merce as SALT wrought iron, brass,
sheepskln, ivory, camels' hair, raisins,
pongee silk, aloes, oak gals. honey.
figs, spikenard and dates.
The exhibit of articles representing
the trade of nations, interesting in the
extreme though 1t Is, would not bc
complete without the accompanying
exhibit, showing by Photographic rep
resentation and model the various
methods or means of transportation of
commerce past and present. Upon the
walls Of the section allotted to this
exhibit are hung representations of the
handcarts of japan, the laden ponies
Of Asia Minor, the yak wagons of
Tibet, the OK carts of India. the
dromedaries of Siam. the camels of
Egypt, the dogs and reindeer Of Alas

of other equally interesting and unique
representations of commercial ways
and means. Then there are reproduc
tions of fast flying freight trains of
different nations and models of water
craft used in commerce from ancient
to modern times.
These models are In themselves
worthy of hours of study. There are

PISTOL DUEL.
Catholic Priest and His Assistant FIuht
Burglars.

New York, March "a battle with
reviewers between Rev. Father Henry
j. Atterbein and his assistant on one
side, and two burglars on the other.
occurred in the church of the Immac-
ulate Conception in Melrose avenue. the
Bronx borough, before daylight this
morning. Although several shots were
nred on both sides no one was wounded
ana the burglars escaped with their
booty.
The two burglars entered the church
through window and collected togeth-
er several valuable crosses and crowns
from the statues. They then attempted
20 open the door leading into the taber-
nacie. This rang an alarm in the resi-
dence' next door. The Rev. Atterbein
sent two of his priests to the rear of
the church and he with another entered
the church by one of the front doors.
Inc priests were armed with revolvers
ana when the rector's assistant discov-
ereo one of the burglars in the dim
hight of the altar lamp, he fired at him.
Inc burglar returned the shot quickly
and then the shooting became general
within the church, the priests and bur-
glars firing at the flashes of the revol.
Vers OF the other parties.
AT the first shot the two priests in
the rear OF the church sounded police
whistles which brought two policemen.

Toxic, March, IA question has
arisen regarding the last clause of
article, second section, of the treaty be-
tween Japan and the United States
which mas been cited by the government
at Washington, which is authority for
the statement that the Japanese hither-
to have been issuing passports limiting
the destination of immigrants.
The passports simply certify to the
nationality of their holders, and the
placing of restriction on them by an
administrative measure is declared here
to be authorized by law and an infringe
ment of the personal right to travel
guaranteed by the constitution.
In view, however, of the American
government in not calling for the en-
forcement of the clause mentioned II
is thought that the limitation so placed
will be left unquestioned.
Administrative action and litigation
since the San Francisco school trouble
have brought the clause into prominence
and Japan has begun to smart under
the alleged humiliation. 1t would be no
should pressure be brought ON
the government to have it abstain from
issuing passports limiting the destina-
ton of their bearers.
