THE EAST, INDIA COMPANY.
What Great Britain Owes to Holland
and PEPPER

What Great Britain Owes to Holland
and Pepper.
1t is curious to remember that when
England's commercial greatness was
a-making her most serious rival was
Holland. But the enterprising Dutch
men ruined their chances by their
greediness. There was a popular little
couplet which ran:
In matters Of commerce the fault Of the
Dutch
Is giving too little and asking too much.
The whole course Of English pre-
dominance abroad might have been
changed If the Dutch had not asked
too much"
In the. closing years of the sixteenth
century they had trade monopoly
with the East Indies. and they put
up" the price Of pepper to such point
that the English consumer struck"
A meeting Of London merchants
made one December afternoon a deci-
sion the importance Of which to Eng
land cannot be exaggerated. 1t was
nothing less than the resolution to
form a London East India company.
The petition of these merchants to
good Queen Bess was granted in a
royal charter Of incorporation.
The company, founded at first to es-
tablish direct trade communication
with the east and lower the price of
pepper. soon took to itself larger pur-
poses. Fleets of merchant ships came
and went between England and India,
and from the quarrel about pepper the
corporation of merchants was des-
tined. through Give and its "nabobs, {"

FRIENDLY ANIMALS.


The Intimacy Between Them and Man
In Yellowstone Park.
One Of the most pleasant features Of
the drive through the Yellowstone Ma
tional park Is the apparent intimacy be-
tween man and the animal and bird
life In the park. Thanks to the wise and
stringent regulations. no shooting Is
allowed within Its boundaries. THE
result" says an English tourist, 'is
positively charming. Hundreds Of little
chipmunks, with their gaudy striped
backs, scamper impudently about or
peer at the passing coach from the
roadside. The squirrel did not bolt for
the nearest tree. but nodded well
come. All bird life treated rs like
wise. Even the lordly eagle lowered
near, and the wild turkey stalked un-
cOncernedly through the rank grass.
We perceived a doe and fawn graz
ing by the road. Not until we were
within few feet did they seek the
shelter Of the woods, yet not to fly.
They simply moved aside. Here at
least mankind was regarded as a
friend-one who could be trusted. The
only animal who ran away was
brown bear. He turned tail at the sight
Of coaching party. Yet it was quite
common thing for bears to approach
close to the hotels at evening to feed
on the refuse thrown out. 1t was an
after dinner relaxation for the guests
to watch them feeding. They munched
and disputed the choicest morsels, for
the most part Indifferent to the COM
pany. Only when we became inquis-
tive and approached too near did they
retire, and these animals were perfect
ly free and unfettered in their move
ments. 1t may read like fairy tale,
but II Is solid fact"

A Matter Needing Attention
For two years or more certain

This office, carrying with 1t men,

FIRE ADDS TO MINE HORROR.
Bodies of 214 Persons Recovered and
Are Buried Friday.

Yosovo, European Russia, July A.
The bodies Of 214 persons recovered
from the Rikovsky mine, which was
the scene of an explosion of gas were
buried Friday.
The horror of the situation was add
ed to by fire which broke out Friday
morning. 1t penetrated the inner gal
leries where $50 men are imprisoned
and made the efforts of the rescue
parties almost useless. In the dis
lance from behind heaps of fallen de-
bris could be heard cries for help all
day. Fifty-three bodies were taken
out Friday, all terribly mutilated,
Some of the men had been burned to
death, while the heads and limbs of
others had been torn off by the force
of the explosion. Seventy-five wound
ed were also taken out and removed to
hospitals. OF these, ten succumbed
during the day and many others are
In a precarious condition. Three
women who stood at the mouth of the
pit and recognized the bodies of their
husbands, dropped dead from shock.
A number of others have gone mad.

INDIVIDUAL BETTING is o. X.
So Says New York Supreme Court In
Horse Race Wager Decision.

New York. July 3-Justice Bischoff,
in the supreme court, Thursday decid-
ed that receiving money as the result
of winning wager on a horserace
is not crime. The Justices decision
as at first announced appeared to war;
rant the Interpretation that all indi-
yldual betting was legal, but the full
9CpIinippn! as handed down shows that
he unholds that portion of the statute
which prohibits and makes criminal
the business Of receiving bets. The
case was that of Melville Collins, who
had won and accepted money as a re
suit of bet. The Justice decided
that In receiving this money Collins
had not violated the law. The JUS
tice points out that individual betting
differs from the maintaining of place
for gambling or a person whose pro-
fession is that of common gambler.

California special left ST. Louis on
time carrying five cars, including two

cars. A. Strang, train dispatcher at
sedalia, issued an order for the trains
to meet at Kpobnoster. Later this
order was changed and the meeting
place fixed at Lamonte, seven miles
east of here. Whether the dispatcher

TREASURY CONDITION 0. K.
so SAYS SECRETARY coRTELYoU
IN A STATEMENT.
Deficit is seo,ooo,ooo, in Round Mum.
bers-New Debt Created Placed
at About $1,000 900.

Washington, July 4.-Regarding the
condition of the United States treasury
Secretary Cortelyou issued state
ment. Secretary Cortelyou's state
ment follows:
although the treasury statements
show deficit in round numbers of
$6O,0O0,00O in the operations of the
government during the fiscal year
just closed, the deficit is more appar-
ent than real, being due to an anti
quated system Of bookkeeping which
Secretary Cortelyou is having over
hauled and modernized. Considering
the ordinary receipts of the govern
ment there is not only no deficit but
a surplus. The amount of new debt
created during the year was only
$7,0O0,O00 in excess of the amount of
the old debt redeemed; and sS5 100000
was expended in new public works, of
which less than half was paid for by
the creation of funded debt.
Two of the fundamental errors in
the present system of making up the
treasury statements are that the pro-
ceeds of bonds sold are not counted
in the receipts, but all the money
which is paid out for the purposes for
which the bonds are issued is included
In expenditures. In this respect the
practice of the United States treasury
departs from that of all other impor-
tant governments. The latter take
care to discriminate between ordinary
receipts, which are devoted to the
actual running expenses of the gov
eminent and extraordinary receipts,
which are set aside for permanent
public works or other special pur-
poses. The total amount expended
by this government for various public
works, including the Panama canal,
during the past fiscal year, was 1884,
S25,32S.
Under proper method of book
keeping this amount would be charge
able to extraordinary expenditures to
be met by loans.
1.-The deficiency in extraordinary re-
ceipts paid from surplus or ordinary
receipts and from the free balance in
the treasury was s75,s90,7Ss. The
items included under extraordinary
expenditures are such as might be
properly covered by the issue of bonds
instead of paid out of current
revenues"
