Eleven Persons Are Reported to
Have Perished I'm Sea Disasters.
Reports to the Philadelphia Maritime
Exchange bring information of mishaps
TO barges and the probable drowning of
eleven persons off the New Jersey coast
IN the recent storm. The barge Gwennie
from Norfolk for New Bedford, and the
Fannie, from Philadelphia for Boston,
broke adrift from the tug that was tow
ing them off Barnegat. The tug arrived
at the Delaware breakwater later in the
day, and made a search for the barges.
The Fannie was found, and the crew of
five men was rescued. The deck had been
swept clean of pilot house, boats, etc.
The GwenDie could not be traced. and it
is believed that she foundered and that
her crew of five went down. The tug
NJ. E. Scully reported that while trying
to make the Delaware breakwater with
the barges White Band and New Jersey
hawser parted and the barges drifted
away in the heavy sea. Later the New
Jersey was picked up with her crew safe,
but the White Band was found sunk
about ten miles off the New Jersey coast.
The captain of the tug reports that the
crew of four men, with two women, un-
doubtedly was drowned.

Aliens Took s11o.ooo.ooo.

According to figures compiled by the
North German Lloyd line, $110.000,000
was taken out of the United States last
year by aliens returning to their former
homes in Europe. This computation is
based ON figures furnished by steamship
agents. money changers and others in a
position TO be informed. and is made on
the assumption that the average amount
carried by returning foreigners is $500,
and that 5,0.045 Immigrants returned TO
their native land 1t is estimated that
this 5000 will maintain him in absolute
idleness for year or more. aud when
the money is gone he will return. A pc

AFTER THE SUGAR TRUST.
Government Claims that It Evaded
Duties oy Fraud.

Suits to recover 100000 from the
American Sugar Refining Company
will be instituted by the government.
This sum represents the difference be-
tween the duty paid by the sugar trust
since the passage of The Dingley tariff
act and the amount that should have
been paid, according TO the govern
ment's claim, but which Was evaded
by the use of fraudulent scales on the
docks f the re6neries.
Secret agents of the treasury, on
whose evidence criminal proceedings
are pending against several employees
of the sugar trust. have obtained what
they consider positive proof that ev-
cry cargo of sugar for the trust thar
has reached the port of New York in
the last 10 years has been underweigh-
ed through manipulation of scales.
From careful investigation, the re-
suits of which are now before the
grand jury, treasury agents and Gus
toms officials believe there has been
an average shortage of one per cent In
the weight of imported sugar recorded
in the governments books. On the
basis force of clersk is now calculat-
ing how much the sugar trust owes to
the government.
Records that have been filed away
for years are being brought out and
searched. The exact weight on which
duty was paid on every shipment of
sugar received by the trust is being
unearthed. The grand total has not
been reached. but it is declared it will
amount to more than $300,000,000 In
duties paid.
One of the decisions reached by the
investigators is that there has been
bribery of customs officials, in some in
stances on an extensive scale. Evidence
on this point is being collected care
fully by the most thorough scrutiny of

The Senate Tuesday disposed of large
number of minor bills on the calendar,
and resumed consideration of the bill to
revise the criminal code of the United
States. Senator Hepburn was anxious to
continue consideration of the code bill, of
which he is in charge until more pro-
gress should be made. but adjournment
was taken. National politics, interna-
tional marriages and government expendi-
lures formed the themes of discussion in
the House. incidentally it was the long
est sitting of the House this session. The
urgent deficiency bill was up for consid-
GRAFTON. but in several instances it was
ignored under the license of general de-
bate. The presence of William ]. Bryan

House adjourned.

In the Senate Thursday Senator Stone
presented statistics of government de-
posits in national banks TO show that
the distribution of money during the re-
cent currency stringency was not "equita-
BILE" as contemplated by the law gov
erning the Treasury Department. He de-
clared that the West and South were
disseminated against, while New York
and Boston were favored. Senator Teller
followed with brief comment upon the
action of the Secretary of the Treasury,
declaring that the placing of money in
New York City during the panic was
fully justified. The Senate devoted the
latter part of the session to considera-
ton of the bill TO revise the criminal
code, and adjourned until Monday The
urgent deficiency appropriation bill occu-
pied the attention of the House to- the
exclusion of all other business. A sur
prise was sprung when Chairman Ta whey
of the appropriations committee warned
the members that the country was con-
fronted with the certainty of a $100,000.-
900 deficit unless the estimates for the
next fiscal year should be cut down mate
rally discussion on tariff revision
was injected into the proceedings, in
which leaders on both sides OF the House
tried to commit one another to a definite
announcement as to whether, if success
full at the November elections, there
would be tariff legislation.

The Senate spent over an hour We'd
nesday in discussing a resolution offered
bs Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota
directing the Department of Commerce
and Labor to suspend its investigation
into the affairs of the International Har-
vcster Company, which was ordered by a
resolution over a year ago. During this
discussion Senator Hansbrough declared
that the harvester trust" is attempting
to control the selectiG- of delegates TO
the next Republican national convention
and is especially plotting to defeat him
for reelection to the Senate. The resolu-
ton finally was referred to a committee.
The criminal code bill was again consid-
cred for over two hours. Rapid progress
was made in the House of Representa-
tiyes in the consideration of the bill to
codify and revise the penal laws of the
United States. The only amendment of
any Importance which got through was
one by Ollie James of Kentucky. making
it a criminal olfense. under heavy penalty,
to falsify government crop statistics, the
object of the amendment being TO protect
the cotton and tobacco growers from
spectators. Over fifty pages of the bill
were disposed of.

CHICAGO.

Trade conditions in the Chicago dis
ttict are summarized in the weekly re-
view issued by X. G. Dun & Co. as fol-
lows:
In view of the effort to strengthen
credits and the severe test from which
business generally is emerging, it is not
surprising that the commercial mortality
again exhibits comparatively large ratio.
II is an Indication, however, that the
weak concerns no longer remain to dis
tub confidence Other factors are main
~ most encouraging and add 70 further
revival in activity. Dealings at the
banks now make the closest approach to
those at this time last year, heavy set
Elements proceed smoothly, and the legiti-
mate needs of borrowers are more read
lily extended. The discount rate is much
asier, but the offerings of paper reflect
no undue pressure to obtain funds.
Some further gain appears in the ma
chipery and labor employed in nanufac-
turing, although the effort TO advance
production is made slowly, but the indica-
tions constantly improve in iron. wood
and leather branches. Prices bear n
frmer tone in the principal raw materials,
particularly hides. lumber and minor
metals, and more Inquiry from consumers
is thought to mean an early addition TO
furnaces operated.
Developments in construction and build
ing are not yet notably interesting. but
the indications become brighter, and with
receipts unusually light and yard stocks
small, the market for lumber becomes
more encouraging. especially for factory
needs. Carshops run low on forward or
6ers, but shipbuilding engages more help.
and there is steady running in footwear,
clothing, foundry and electric lines.
Weather conditions have favored sus-
tanned absorption of winter merchandise.
and seasonable dealings appear in the
leading retail and jobbing branches, with
larger numbers of visiting buyers operat-
ing in the principal staples.
Failures reported in the Chicago dis
trict number 30, against AZ last week
and 24 year ago. Those with liabili-
ties over $1,000 number 16, against 10
hast week and s in 1907.
