IMPERIAL TROOPS
 CONTROL SITUATION
More Trouble Is Predicted;
 Suspicious Characters Ar rested; Official Comments Withheld; Empire Startled.

PEKING, Jan. 19.-Intense excite ment prevails here and martial law is in effect in many sections of the city owing to the discovery of a plot to dynamite Emperor Yuan. The many arrests have not resulted in the ap. prehension of the parties believed di- rectly responsible for the consumma- tion of the plot. However, several prominent leaders of revolutionary factions have been taken into custody and startling developments are ex. pected to materialize, momentarily
 The finding of a large number of explosives under the Imperial Palace, coming as it did, immediately after the suppression of riots in several sec tions, created the widest excitement. It was reported that troops were be- ing brought in from every district but later advices indicated that these reports had been exaggerated and it is now believed that the imperial forces have the situation well in hand.
 Keen students of the present state of Chinese affairs were free in pre- dictions that the trouble is but slight as compared to more serious disturb ances which may be expected. No of 6cial statement could be secured from imperial headquarters.

GATHER IN MEXICAN
 POLITICS
Rumor That Obregon Had Been Arrested by Carranza Not Verified But is Thought Possible by Observers.

| DOUGLAS, Jan. 19.-Carranza off
 cials yesterday asserted that they were without advices of the reported arrest of General Obregon by the first chief" at Queretaro, and while doubting the authenticity of the re DOT, believe that such might be the case as Obregon was arrested on the orders of Carranza at the same place little over a year ago and detained" { for two days, until Obregon had re- assured Carranza of his loyalty and convinced him that he was not a sup porter of Villa in the latter's move to rule Mexico.
 That Obregon has been the most loyal supporter the chief has had dur ing his rebellion against the Huerta Villa as a factor in the Mexican gov ernment is pointed out by his friends. who expect within the next twenty four hours to have his arrest denied and official" statements issued of both being on excellent terms.
 Should the report of the arrest of the commander-in-chief of the Nexi- can army prove true, his friends are not alarmed over the ultimate free dom of Obregon at the hands of the first chief" as it is believed that no punishment would be meted out to him, unless it was that of dismissal from the army
 It is admitted that there has been some friction between Obregon and the first chief at diverse times, be- cause Obregon opposes some of the policies of CarranZa and believes that the latter should give way to some more popular and competent leader who could cement all factions of Mex jeans and at the same time incur the goodwill of foreign nations. The ar rest of Obregon is taken more as jest. than that he is in personal dan ger of injury at the hands of Carranza.
 While adhering staunchly to the Carranza cause, Obregon has not been without his personal feelings in the matter of the reconstruction of a government in Mexico and has on more than one occasion advocated the removal of Carranza ad the substi- tuition of a non-military man as presi- dent of the Mexican republic.
 Recently. during Obregon's trip to the border. a movement was started in the American press. putting the Mexican general forth as the logical successor of Carranza as the leader Of Mexico and the future president. It was when this question was preached and some publicity given ! that Obregon. to his most intimate l friends. asked that nothing of the kind be done and declared himself most emphatically opposed to his nomination as president. stating that

FRENCH EXPORT TRADE IN NJ
 DECLINE
Figures from France Indicate that Though Country is at War Her Exports Have Maintained Usual Level.

PARIS. Jan. 19.-That the French
 export trade is not paralyzed by the
 war. and that in some instances France is exporting more products that
 in pease time. is curious and unex-
 pected situation indicated in recent reports of the Minister of Finance. While France is buying in the sum this year of about two billion francs
 from the United States, the money
 value of her exports to the United
 States have not fallen of more than , ten per cent. The United States is Frances second best customer. at pres ent, with England her best. The war merely seems to have changed in ma nv cases the accustomed commercial channels. For instance. Frenchman wished recently to buy twine of the vineyards to hold up the vines Be cause of the lack of freight space in ships from New York. and his hurry to secure positive delivery. he cabled to an American firm in Manila, asking that the twine be forwarded direct from there.
 It is in the exportation of France to the United States that may be seen some odd phases of war business Thus. on a ten months basis. for table fruits her 1913 explorations were g. 77s. 900 francs. whereas for the present year France sold to the United States in the sum of 7.1s7.OO0 francs. France sold to the United States 3.9l6.000 francs worth of perfumes and soaps. an increase of 1,237.O00 francs over 1913. Her sales of mile. butter and cheese have increased from 1.727OoO francs in 1913 to 2.7S7.OOO francs for the first ten months of 1915. Her hu- man hair sales are practically the same this year as in other years. being 1.25S. 900 francs. Her wine sales are almost normal. at S.0S6. 900 francs.
 In the effort of her people 10 make up for the enormous import bill. her sales of artificial flowers and fruits have iur'ped to 5.135.OO0 francs sum nIrost twice that of normal years. The same fact holds good for fancy fans. buttons. brushes and oys.
 A striking fact of comparison is brought out in automobile sales. France bought 7O.4O1,OOO francs worth of automobiles and motor cycles dur ing the first ten months of this year. as asainst 4.41s.00O francs in 1913. and she is selling to the United States 2 4e1 900 francs worth.
 While France is buying twenty times as much grain from the United States as normally. she is sending to the United States twice as much seen grain as in 1913. or in the sum of near ly 15.000.0 900 francs.
 Although France is buying twenty times as much leather goods from the United States as in peace years. she is. nevertheless. exporting to the Unit !. ed States 6.OOO.OO0 francs more of the same goods than she usually does.
