Wilson Says He Will

Doubt Is Expressed There

Vera Cruz, Mexico. July II.-Ambassa-
dor Henry Lane Wilson sailed for New
York on the Ward Line steamer City of
Mexico today.
Ambassador Wilson, interviewed before
he wen: on board ship, said:
81 wish you would make il emphatic
that l have not been recalled by the
United States government. II that had
happened il would mean a severance of
political relations between the United
States and Mexico.
Il am leaving Mexico at this time at
the request of President Wilson. I am
to report to him personally as to con-
ditions as they exist in Mexico today.
II my present plans are carried out I
shall be back in Mexico in three weeks

tary will be in charge of the embassy
while I am in the United States.'
1t was learned from an official source
in this city today that France was the
nation which protested to the United
States government and demanded that
some action be taken by the United
States to restore normal conditions in
Mexico.
The statement is made that French in
vestments in Mexico have deprecated
500 900, 900 pesos in the last three months.

operation on record.
Mrs. c. A. Casey. wife of bank teller,
of 400 West Second Street. was taken to

at once began the Caesarean operation to
save at least the life of the child. Dur
ing the progress of the operation the
mothers heart stopped beating and she
was pronounced dead.
The child was successfully brought into
the world alive and the surgeons then
began a hattie to restore life to the
mother. Pressing upon the diaphragm
through the incision in the abdominal
cavity the surgeons animated the wom-
ans heart. After three hours. desperate
work the heart responded. Transfusions

Coal Prices and the Anthracite Tax.

A rather unique new reason for
boosting the price of coal is being
commented on by the newspapers in
the East. The anthracite companies
of Pennsylvania are sending out bills
to their customers in other States for
shipments of their product at regular
prices plus the ala per cent tax
levied by the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania"
This is method of advertising the
tax TO the consumers in other States
with the evident purpose of not only
accounting for the increase in price,
but also to create a movement from
the outside to bring influence to bear
against the tax. 1t is another illus
tration of the readiness with which
burdens are passed on to the ultimate
consumer.
There is grumbling at the coal COM
panies, but there is more questioning
of the wisdom and necessity of the tax
itself. As Pennsylvania practically has
monopoly of anthracite, the tax has
been objected to as an effort to make
other States pay the expenses. The
point is also made that as the tax is
levied only on anthracite shipped out
of the State, it may prove unconstitu-
tional as an attempt to interfere with
the freedom of interstate commerce.
The New York World reminds lis
that the Supreme Court of the United
States has blocked similar attempts to
interfere with the freedom of COM
merce in Oklahoma oil cases and the
Indiana gas case.

New York's Great Canal.

pable of accommodating boats which
will carry freight from Duluth 10 Bos-
ton. Among the benefits will be lake
sixteen miles long from Schenectady
to Waterford, while the building of a
great dam in Oneida County already
has proved its value.
During the floods of last spring
Utica and the adjacent towns were
free from their ravages for the first
time. To accommodate the immense
volume of business that is expected, the
State is erecting freight terminals al
cost of 100000, 100000 OF
which will be expended in New York
City. The bulk of the remainder will
go to Buffalo. since when the referen-
dunn was taken it was the vote of these
two cities that decided the question in
favor of the measure against the oppo-
sition of all the rest of the State, in

Tariff in the Senate.

Debate begins today in the Senate on
the Underwood-Sim tariff bill. For
the first time in our history tariff bill
comes from the Senate Finance Com
mittee with rates lower than when the
bill passed the House. The Senate
Finance Committee has made many
justihable reductions and adjustments.
Ii has transferred pig iron, ingotS. and
justed the duties on the cereals; it has
corrected errors in the cotton sched-
ule. One may disagree with some OF
the features OF the Senate bill, but he
will have to admit that it is an hon.
est, careful effort to revise the tariff.
Political prophets TO the contrary
notwithstanding, there is absolutely
nothing in the bill to Justify any panic
talk The country, it is true, is nerv-
Gus, as is usual on the eve of tariff
legislation, but our economic condition
is sound No parallel can be drawn
between the situation now and that of
1893 and 1894. The Underwood Sim
mons bill is. in fact, protective meas
ure. Deep breaches in the protective
wall, such as free wool and free sugar,
are not characteristic OF it. If the pro-
ducing interests of the nation will keep
their courage and face the new sit
uation with determination, they will
quickly adjust themselves to new con-
ditions These being the facts, Sem
ators should choose their words in de-
bate with care. Criticisms of the Sem
ate bill are not only not Objectionable,
but desirable. The bill can be i'm
proved in many places by amendment
Infammatory speeches, however, should
be frowned on and condemned. Poll
ticians who prophesy destruction do
more TO fulfill their prophecy than their
opponents The psychological element
in the tariff problem is always large
and today is dominant. Those in
power who have the public ear should
calm rather than further agitate the
troubled waters of Our industrial life

The Exporters and the New Bank Bill

1t is held in administration circles
that the establishment of branches of
national banks in foreign countries
will greatly increase our foreign trade.
AS this would make currency and
tariff legislation dependent one upon
the other. this seemingly would form
a strong argument for the passage of
a currency law at this session of Con-
gress, so as to make Democratic
tariff legislation a success.
Section 28 of the Glass bill, quite
similar to one suggested by the Aldrich
plan, is the first attempt at Federal
legislation to encourage the formation
of American banks abroad and thus
enable the foreign trade of the United
States-which amounts to more than
SI,ooo,ooo,ooo a year-to be financed by
American capital.
The greatest field for such an ex-
pansion of American capital will be
in South America. Just now there are
no American banks in these countries,
despite the fact that more than $780,
100000 of our capital is invested there.
We find in the consular reports that
citizens of the United States have
more than S3o,ooo.ooo invested in Pc
ruvian mining enterprises; that &c.,
100000 more went to establish Argentine
packing plants, and another SI5yooo,ooo
for the same purpose in Uruguay. In
Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela
large sums are invested in banana
plantations, asphalt dredging. and in
railroads.
Yeti taxes the mind to believe
this-in none of these countries is there
an American bank. Only recently, Dr.
Rose, the Argentine Finance Minister,
expressed his surprise that there is not
an American bank at Buenos Ayres,
a city as large and as busy as Phila-
delphia. European capital long has
been interested in South American
banks, and has proved very profitable
The reports state that the London and
River Plata Bank paid last year a
dividend of 20 per cent; the London
and Brazilian Bank. II per cent, and
the Angio-South American Bank, IS
per cent.
Quite naturally exporters are espe-
cially interested in the establishment
of American banks in foreign coun-
tries, as it would save them a great
deal in rates of exchange. If such
exchange could be made at normal
American rates in foreign countries,
the saving would be enormous on
transactions totaling a thousand mil
lion dollars annually.
It seems incredible. but it is true.

present situation which will have TO De
cleared UP as a result of the forthcoming
conference at the White House. The
Ambassador has announced In Mexico
City that he will return in two or three
weeks. II is admitted at the White
House that there is not at present any
intention of relieving the Ambassador OF
his duties. Yet there exists n feeling OF
great uncertainty as to the Likelihood OF
Mr. Wilson's ever returning to Mexico
City as the American Ambassador. This
feeling is due principally to the fact that
the administration has made no secret
of the fact that but for recognition being
involved, II would have relieved him and
appointed a successor months ago.
The anti-American demonstrations In
Mexico City are not causing any particu-
lar appsehension TO the Wilson admins

circles as wholly artificial, and part OF
