RICH BRITISH TRADE
AMERICAN EXPORTS.
Goods Worth Many Millions
Shipped Here.
ny French Cable TO The Tribune. ]


London. Jan. S.-The effects of Anieri-
can prosperity and tariff revision are
recorded in the annual exhibit of ex-
ports from London and other British
ports TO the United States. There are
large increases under almost every head
ing, and these are cumulative proofs
that the revenues in Washington are
steadily rising and that the deficit Will
soon be wiped out.
Consul General Griffith's statistics have
not yet been completely classified. but
the aggregate is a long way ahead OF
the previous years record and indicates
an enormous increase in the purchasing
power of the American market. The eN-
ports of wool are much higher, both in
quality and quantity. The value of
hides and leather has also largely in
creased, together with that of the
mechanism for the manufacture of the
higher grades.
The American demand for diamonds
has run up by leaps and bounds after
prolonged slump which cut down the
dividends of the South African mines.
Antiquities, works of art and old mas
ters have gone to America with rush
since the passage of the revised tariff.
and there are no signs OF a cessation of
this movement of art treasures across
the Atlantic While the exports OF an
tiquties and old masters do not equal
those from Paris. there is evidence of
heavy traffic from England. London
dealers admit frankly that they are
doing a big business for American
clients and that valuable works found
In country houses are constantly sold
and shipped TO New York.
The organizers of the Grafton Gallery
exhibition, while supplying a handsome
fund in gate money for the national col
lections, have advertised some of the
choicest possessions of titled families
and patrons of art and promoted their
transfer to Americans.
The exports from Bradford to America
have amounted to E4.209.549 In twelve
months an increase of f1,SI4J43 over
1908. The largest increase Is in wool
and in machinery for the manufacturing
of woollen and worsted goods, with con-
siderable gains in dress goods, Innings
and worsted coatings.
The continuous increase Of exports
from Manchester TO America is equally
conspicuous. The largest gains during
December were in cotton piece goods,
yarns, linens. machinery and chemicals,
with an aggregate increase Of f90,609.
A considera BILE portion of the improve
nent in the foreign trade which the min
listers are welcoming as a sign that their
financial policies are not disastrous is in
that with America. Raw materials and
machinery for the higher grades Of
manufactured goods account for large
percentage. Another big percentage
covers diamonds and motor cars, art
treasures and other articles of luxury,
and indicates the complete recovery of
the wealthy class from the financial de-
preston. l. n. F.

London, Jan. S.-The cheapening proc
esses OF journalism are illustrated by
the leading English Church weekly, "The
Guardian" the price of which has been
without a shrinkage in reading matter
or any deterioration in quality. The
first penny number has an edition of one
hundred thousand copies, with increased
advertising.
The Church Times and other Angli-
can rivals have been penny weekIies for
long time. and so. also, is The British
Weekly" the representative organ of
Free Churchmen, conducted by Robertson
Nicoll with great ability. and having a
circulation OF more than one hundred
thousand. The only high priced relg-
ious weekly is The Tablet" the brill
iantly edited Roman Catholic journal,
which is sold for fivepence.
The reduction in the price OF The
Guardian" and the immediate enlarge
ment of its circulation and influence lead
experienced newspaper owners to fore
cast the cheapening of the siXpenny

Guardian" like THE British Weekly"
has almost as much politics as religion

are strongly Tory. just as Robertson

Japan's Success Has Injured
White Prestige an East,
fer v-s,cr r,ah,e to The Tribune


Paris, Jan S.-The recent combat III
which Captain Mosse was killed anu
Lieutenant Weiss was wounded is mere
" the beginning Of hostilities on a much
larger scale. To-day General Faniin'
who recently had an important command
in Jndo-China and who has served
number of years in that country. states
that the French position there IS most
alarming.
He saws that the Annamites not long
ago nearly succeeded in poisoning the
whole French garrison of Hanoi. Inc
plot failed owing to the loyalty OF
Christian Annamite. who revealed II 10
the French authorities. General fanln
declares that the re-establishment OF the
French monopolies and extra taxatlon
have eXasperated the native population
to such a degree that unless energetic
steps be taken at once the continuation
of French rule in Indo-China will be-
come impossible.
The general adds that the Annamites.
since the victories of Japan over Russia,
are imbued with the spirit of indepen-
dence and confidence in the superior
fighting qualities of the yellow races,
and know that the French are no longer
invincibe This note of warning, uttered
by General Famin, has caused pro-
found impression.
Great uneasiness is felt here generally
in regard to the situation in French
Indo-China. NJ. Klobukowsky, the
French Governor General, has already
reported upon the critical condition of
French rule in that province owing to
the widespread discomfort of the AMMAN
ties. who are in open revolt.
They are aided by bands of Chinese
regulars, who cross the frontier from
Yunnan, and with the connvance of the
Chinese authorities, who conform only
in perfunctory and lukewarm manner
with the treaty of 1896 which requires
the Chinese and the French forces TO CO.
operate against the piratical bands which
make incursions into French territory.

ORGANIZER
LEAVES TOWN
Attempt Made to Form
Another Union In
Jackson

A representative of Western Fedora
tion of Miners has been in Jackson for
several weeks, quietly working with
the object of organizing another local
union in this town. His name is Roy
Cameron. Various reports are current
as to the success he is meeting with IN
his mission. One story says that he
has secured the signatures of from
seventy to eighty intending members.
This is probably an exaggeration, de-
signed to bolster up the cause, and in
duce others to join under the impress
sion that the movement is popular
with the miners. On the other hand,
it is said, from eight to ten men have
been secured, and these from the for
eign element. The idea is held out
that the wages are low in the mining
camps of Amador county, and that by
organization they can be raised and so
forth. The creduIous workers jump at
such representations, especially when
presented with that forcefulness born
of long practice in the art of fooling
the toilers which the walking dele
gates usually have acquired. 1t should
be borne in mind that the organizer is
paid five dollars per day by the Fedora
ton, and also receives 81 per every
member enrolled in the new union.
This is quite an inducement to perser-
vance, and as long as there is the
ghost of show of success the agitator
will stay with the movement. if not
for the good of the miner, at least for
the money that is in it for himself.
There is very little discussion among
the underground workers regarding,
the movement, and it is not favored
by the miners generally. They are
not courting any more trouble with
the owners. The experience they have
had with unionism in this section does
not hold out much promise of gain. In
Grass Valley the members of the union
there are kicking against the heavy
cost entailed by assessments to aid
striking members in other states.
They have been paying 81 per month
for this purpose, and the treasury is
said to be exhausted, and the payment
of sick benefits suspended.
Cameron left Jackson by stage yes
terday morning, whether for good or
not we do not know.
