Trading Stagnnnt-ENnort l'N1c Re-
port Vino Showing.

New York, AprIl l5,--Anything Of
interest in the financial world to-day
was found outside the stock warlet
That was like stagnant pool, Some
Of the days developments were not
unimportant but they had no retlec-
ton IN the stock market The state
ment Of the country's foreign trade
for March made a remarkable show
ing The point most discussed was
the falling off IN value Of exports as
compared with March of last year, the
decline Of upwards Of Sl6,000,000 In
the agricultural exports being cX-
panded IN the total exports to over
$50, 100000, Failing off In cotton cN-
ports accounts for more than $lS,000,-
900 Of this decrease ANA the compari-
son Is with a month of extraordinary
cotton exports, The March exports,
In fact, do not compare badly with
any March previous to last year for
several years back. Significance at
tachcs nevertheless to the fact that cN-
ports have fallen below those Of last
year for the first time since last Oc-
toher, when the financial crisis forced
the hasty marketing abroad of our
commodities OF the 100000 900 Of
gold which came IN at that time there

million dollars to-day for export. no

| chandise exports Of s20OO0O00 for
March compares, in fact, with a
shrnkage in imports In the same
comparison Of nearly $4,000. 900.
Here Is much more significant evil
dcnce of the effects Of commercial de-
preston than In the export items. 1t

Notwithstanding the reports OF grow
ing friction between the management
of the American Smelling and Refining
compay and the Amalgamated Copper
interests, as represented by the United
Metals Selling company, this was not

doubt these rumors. The reported de-

Latham, who is charged with accept
ing a bribe, probably will be indicted

has case at a meeting next week 1t
is also probable that Ruef and others
who bribed Latham to leave the state
to avoid testifying in the Ruef and
Ford cases will be indicted Jointly with
the fugitive.
The prosecution in the Ruef case has
not decided yet whether Latham will
be called as witness in the present

Surgeons Pleased With Healthy
Condition of Wound of
the Prosecutor

Francis ]. Heney. the stricken graft
prosecutor. continued to gain strength
yesterday. and the surgeons are now
holding out hope for his rapid recov-
cry. While the patient suffers much
pain at intervals his general condition
is considered very good. and. it is
thought. he will be out of all danger
within the next few days.
The patient had refreshing sleep
early yesterday morning. not awakening
for two hours and half. After that
he dozed during the day. The surgeons
examined the wound and expressed
themselves as being well satisfied with
its condition.
DR.. Beasley. who has only left
Heney's side for an hour or two at a
time since the shooting. said last night
that he was well pleased with the
patients progress.
Although conditions are most favor
able for a speedy recovery. every pre-
caution against serious results is being
taken. Not the slightest noise is per-
mftted in the vicinity of the sick room.
and the relatives, outside of Mrs.
Heney, have only been allowed to see
the patient for a few minutes at a
time. Heney himself is not allowed to
talk to any one.
Various friends of the great graft
prosecutor sent bunches of flowers to
the hospital yesterday with messages
of sympathy. and letters from all parts
of the United States were received in

Points of Interview

Summarized, the main points of the
kaiser's interview are as follows:
That Germany was the paramount
power in all Europe, and that England
was trying to neutralize that power;
That he held France in the hollow of
his hand, and that Russia was of no
account since the disastrous war she
had waged with Japan;
That,if the pan European war, which
had been SO much talked about, was
Inevitable, the sooner it came the bet
ter it would be for him, because he
was ready and was tired of the sus-
pense;
That Great Britain had been a de-
cadent nation ever since her victory
over the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State, because hers was an unrighteous,
ungodly cause and divine judgment was
bound eventually to overtake the pow
erful nation that waged such a war;
That the Anglo-Japanese alliance was
an iniquitous alliance against all the
white races, England proving abso-
lutely her faithlessness as a Christian
nation;

Japan Traitorous

That Japan was honeycombing India
with sedition and flooding it with spies
while protesting openly to be Eng

That the only way to counteract this
alliance was for Germany and America
to act together at an early date, or
America would have to fight the Jap
anese in 10 months.
That in the event of a great war Eng
land would lose many of her large
colonies. especially those in the Pa
cific, and that all he would take for
Germany would be Egypt, though he
would liberate the holy land from the
yoke of the infidel, presumably mean
ing the sultan;
That the perfecting of the Zeppelein
