Was Tempered With by Outsiders

several days before the cause of the
explosion is cleared up.
Because of the fragmentary condi-
ton of some of the unidentified dead,
an exact statement of the number
killed is difficult. The number may
be 34 or 35.
So far, however, thirty two bodies
are accounted for, this being done by
accommodating the mangled portions
found. Parts of four bodies, one white
and three negroes. remain In different
mcrgues. Comparison is being made
in the hope that at least partial iden-
tification may be possible.
Word was received today that John
Ensign, of Washington, chief locomo-
tive boiler inspector for the govern
ment. is on his way here.
Relief work for the injured and the
families of the victims of yesterday S

crowd that J. Pierpont Morgan anu

Well. Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Rookie
Teller are getting it--twenty-fve cents,

BUT FAILED.
The Fabre Limo boats average about
400 passengers In and 900 out OF this
port. If the foreign steamship com
pany would only get discouraged and
withdraw from Providence altogether
the New Haven monopoly would col
lect as formerly the fares up from New
York to points in New England. Provi-
dence L. s3.sb by rail and $50 by boat

lines.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Melien. the Fabre
Line did not take the hint. II had adj
vcrtised Providence as a port Of call In
America throughout southern Italy and
Portuguese possessions. Besides. a. much
Of the business developed In Providence
was OF the prepaid character--colonists
sending passage to relatives In the Old
world-the Fabre Line decided to let It's
passengers pay the extortion and stick
TO Providence. hoping for the arrival OF
. time when this city would control some
Of its own water 'front.'
Under the stimulus Of this confidence
reposed In the municipality plus the then
expectation OF an extension of the Grand
Trunk Railway to Providence. municipal
piers across the river from Fox Point
were begun. Those new piers are mod
eiled after wharves In Booklyn. They
were to be shared by the Fabre Line
and the Grand Trunk. but now that the
latter railroad has been driven back Into
Canada by Melicn. there 10 . growing

this was so, nobody doubts who saw
the organization in their parade to the

spotless Prince Alberts and nobby

appearance of any organization seen
in Chicago in many a day. They are

a REMARKABLE RECORD.

The foreign commerce Of the United
States made a new and remarkable
record In rhe fiscal year just ended,
The total value OF the merchandise
entering and leaving the country in
it's trade with foreign lands and its
own island possessions In the fiscal
year 1912 was four billion dollars; the
value OF manufactures exported was
more than one billion dollars, and the
value OF non-dutlable merchandise en-
tering the country was one billion dol
lars. OF this one billion dollars worth
OF non.dutiable merchandise entering
the country during the year ending
June 80, 1912, about 500 million dol
lars worth was from foreign countries
and 100 million dollars worth from
Hawaii and Porto Rico. OF the mer'
chandise coming from foreign cOun'
tries only, and not including that from
Hawaii and Porto Rico, j25 per cent
entered free OF duty, against 4i3 pei
cent during the entire period OF tht
Dingley law, i8,s per cent under th'
Wilson law, and SO per cent under th'
Mckinley law, when the admission o
sugar free OF duty made the percent
age Of duty-free imports unusually
large. but not so high as that OF thu
year Just ended. In fact, the value o
duty-free merchandise entering iron
foreign countries In 1912 not only OK
