KNOX PLEADS FOR
/. COAST IMPROVEMENTS.
Refers to Expenditures on Pam

of Home HarbOrS.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Feb. 1S.-More
than four hundred business men heard
Senator Knox discuss Our Commercial
Future at the Lincoln Day banquet of
the Chamber of Commerce in the Hotel
Schenley last night.
Senator Knox began with the dec
laration that since the government
will probably spend $500, 900, 200 on the
Panama Canal and will give it a suf-
ficient depth to carry vessels drawing
thirty-five feet of water it should, to
reap the greatest benefit for American
commerce from this investment, deepen
all harbors on our coasts to thirty-tiye
feet, so that all vessels using the canal
can reach all American coast cities.
He said:
Twill the government of this nation
through its Legislative branches nx
upon itself the amazing incongruity of
spending n certain $500, 900, 900 and a
possible $500, 900. 900 in digging the
Panama Canal and denying to the sea-
coast harbors Of the United States two
or three score millions to enable them
to enjoy the full benefit of the canal;
I cannot believe that Congress can per
petrate that logical impossibillty,"

1.-The transcendent genius of Lincoln,
while the gift of God, Was developed
by the activities of his unique career
and displayed in scenes that a never
be reenacted in human history. A child
of poverty, he reached the highest sta

the culture of schools, he found his
best equipment for the most arduous
Iabors in the discipline of experience.
His fame is imperishable while liberty
lasts. and the story of his life is the

the Trouble. 4.

Vice chancellor Stevens today set
down a suit brought by p. Ballantine
& Sons against the Public Service Cor
poration for hearing March 4, 5 and 6.
The suit grows out of a recent one in
which the brewers were awarded $780,
725 damages by the Supreme Court
for pollution of watek caused by tar
from the gas plant of the Public Serv-
ice on Front street. The Ballantines
now ask for an Injunction to compel
the defendants to cease the alleged
continuance of the pollution.

Supreme Court, ach side reservihg the
right to recall witnesses for furth her ex-
animation and to introduce new wit
nesses. r. v. Lindabury and Frank
| Berger, counsel for the Public Service,
/ announced their intention of attempt
ing to prove tina the pollution was
| caused by the water of the Passaic
river and not by tar from the gas plant.
1t was claimed that coloring matter,
placed on the bottom of the river, dis
| colored water in the wells of the Pub
lie Service Corporation, tending to
| prove that the pollution came from the
river. A similar test will be
at the wells of the brewing company
in the neal future, it is said.
1t was suggested that the vice-chan-
cellor visit the premises Saturday.
This and other preliminaries to the
trial will be arranged tomorrow morn

The vice-chancellor suggested that
borings be made to determine the quail
ity OF the soil in the vicinity of each
we'll. He pointed out that If the >oil
were composed largely of gravel the
river water could easily percolate
through it and pollute the wells.

A FEVERISH PACE.
Frantic EndeavOrs of Rich New
Workers. to Spend Money.

Upton Sinclair's novel of New York
Society, now running in the American
Magazine, is supposed to be a reveal
ton of the extravagances of the uper-
rich. Here. for example, is a jar for
the ordinary reader:
''Just think of the number of people
there are trying to go the pace! They
say there are 1000 ~millionaires in this
country, but 1 say there are 10000 Ill

$4,000 a year for rent is paying $4,000 to
live; and there's Fifth avenue-two

OUR TRADE WITH ORIENT.
The Market There for American
GOods-Japan as a Buyer.

The total Oriental market for mer-
ehandise of a class which may be read
ily produced in the United States is
more than 81, 900, 900, 900 annually, and Of
this. says the Pacific Era, we now sup
ply about SIPS, 900, 900. OF this annual
market of 81, 900, O00, 900 about $250,O 600. 900
is cotton goods, for which the United
States supplies most of the raw mate
rial; another $500, 600, 900, iron and steel,
of which the United States is the
worlds largest producer; 100000 900,
provisions in various forms. in the pro-
duction of which the United States also
exceeds any other country; about S4O.-
900, 900 mineral oil; $751; 00. 900. medi-
cines, drugs and dyes; $40, 100000, flour,
and $40, 000, 900, coal, in addition to a
large number of other articles Of mis-
%cellaneous character, almost exclusive
Iy, however, manufactures.
While the United States supplies
about 20 per cent. of the imports Of
China, Japan and the Philippines, ard
is steadily increasing it's total, it sup
plies but practically 1 per cent. of the
imports of the tropical and subtropieal
| Orient, and is making little, j. any, in
crease.
Japan occupies first place among the
Oriental countries in the percentage 81
its trade conducted with this country
and our exports to Japan are greater
than in any other Orientol country ex.
cept China.
Iron and steel manufactures, i.-clud'
ing machinery, are probably the mos
important group of articles found II
our experts in Japan, and their impor
lance seems likely to increase mer
rapidly than that of any other articl
or group of articles. The principal ar
ticIes forming exports from the Unite'
States to Japan are iron and steel man
ufactures, raw cotton, kerosene oil IN
flour.
While cotton has in many recen
years shown a larger total than lro
and steel, and while Japan will Away
continue to be a large importer of ray
: cotton, it is scarcely probable that I'D
growth il our exports of cotton to tina
country will be as rapid as that of 'ro
and steel manufactures.
