Bureau Complies Reports.

his bureau Keeps track OF the buSl-
ness done in the port, compiling month
ly reports of the commodities arriving
and leaving and weekly reports of the
total amount of business done, and
each week both exports and imports
this year have shown steady increases
over the corresponding weeks in both
1891 and 1892. Exports last week
totaled se9s.5se and consisted prin-
lard, apples, railroad track machinery
tinplate and coal tar products.
Last week exports, however, showed
decline from the previous week, which
set a highwater mark for the year
with a total valuation of S1.557 $40
Imports last week consisted principally
of pyrethium flowers, iron ore, wood
pulp, ilmenite, refined tin, tin alloy,
coffee and bananas, and we're valued at
S1,037 1896.
With the starting of wine imports.
the port has a splendid chance to i'm
prove its apple export trade, Mr.. Pouder
added. In the past few years thriv-
ing apple business has developed. but
it received a blow recently when France
placed a quota on the permissible ship
ments. 1t is hoped that with the wine
business as a lever the ban on apples
may be taken off.
Another commodity that has in
creased materially is lard, which has
been going out of the port on Balti-
more mail ships. Asphalt, copper,
steel rails and other steel products and
machinery, especially oil well machin-
cry. have been going out in ever
increasing quantities
Resumption of diplomatic relations
between this country and Russia also
is expected to greatly increase export
business here, although so far there
has been no noticeable increase in
shipments. There are two lines run
ming into. Baltimore now which have
regular stops at Russian ports and
local agents are looking for big in
creases in shipments, especially of ma
chinery, shortly after the first of the
year.

BALTIMORE, December 23-The
decline In the American dollar has
caused decided upturn in the export
business here within the past few
weeks, which has surprised shipping
men. and is sending ships 10 sea with
comfortably filled holds, which hasn't
been the case for many months. The
decline in the dollar is giving foreign
buyers the opportunity to obtain bar
gains in this country, according to
shipping agents here, and is being felt
in practically every line of industry
and manufacturing in Baltimore.
striking example of this is shown
in recent shipments of grain to Europe
for the first time since the latter part
Of last year.
G. H. pouder, director OF the Import

The actual status of the Holy Broth

a semi official police society with linn

Lulz de SAINT Angel. who has been
identified as a converted Jew.
But, says Prof. Mccarthy, the proba-
bility IS that Isabella would have

such security had been demanded for

DENTISTS WOULD EXEMPT
TECHNICIANS FROM CODE
Dental Society Urges Action by
N. R. A. on Grounds They Do
Not Constitute an Industry.

Exemption of dental techniciens and
laboratory workers from a code has
been urged on the National Recovery
Administration by the District Dental
Society on the ground they do not con-
stitute an industry. but are skilled ad-
juncts to the dental profession.
A resolution which sought to bolster
a similar request from the American
Dental Association was introduced at
a meeting Monday night by DR.. James
W. Brown, chairman of the Legislative
Committee, after a talk by DR.. c.
Willard Camalier.
DR.. Camalier said the N. R. A. had
not asked the dental laboratory work.
ers and technicians to formulate
code, but that it had been presented
on the initiative of these two classes
of dental assistants. He declared the
proposed code was unfair to the dental
profession and would bring about in
creased costs which it would be un-
fair to pass on to the public at a time
when oral health is SO seriously needed.
The resolution passed unanimously.

Columbus problem. DR.. Mccarthy says.
The one thing certain Is that the ad-
miral himself knew nothing about 1t.
nor about the previous discoveries of
the Norsemen. Nor did the term prob
ably have any meaning in Rome.
The actual appointment, DR.. Nc
Carthy says, doubtless was of bishop
OF Iceland. which was then a flourish
ing Morse colony, in constant touch
with Europe. The title dated from
centuries before when Greenland also
had been q prosperous land with more
than 5000 Morse settlers, a cathedral
and many churches. But for more than
$50 years there had been no communi-
cation with the colony and it prob
ably had been completely exterminated
long before 1892. The same was true
OF the short-lived Morse colony in
Vineland. At no time had anybody
known anything about the 'partes inf
delibus."
Rich Treasure for ArcheoIogists.
The probability is, says Prof. Nc
Carthy, that the names were preserved
only in the Morse sagas, unavailable in
Southern Europe. and in the title of
the bishop. This latter, except as it
applied to Iceland, had become merely
a matter of form. the real meaning of
which had passed out of memory. II
Columbus had known of any such ap-
pointment, Prof. Mccarthy says, he
certainly would have gone to great
lengths to trace down the meaning of
the words. 1t was just the kind of clue
for which he was feverishly searching
and never found.
What actually happened to the Vine
land settlement-or. for that matter,
to the fourishing Greenland colony
remains obscure and, Prof. Mccarthy
believes, a rich harvest may await the
archeologist if runic records can be
found in the latter country.
Columbus companions on the great
voyage must have been rather polygot
crowd. says Prof. Mccarthy. There was
at least one Scotchman and one Irish
man. One member of the crew was
named "Lajes," which is simply a
Spanish spelling of "Lawes''-either an
English or a Scotch sailor. Another
was Guilliermo Tres, which may have
been either William the Irishman" or
"William Harris" In either case, the
proba bilites are. he had come origi-
na!ly from Ireland.

Carthy said, professional geographers
at least knew a great deal about the
shape of the earth. and few had any
question but that the islands of Cipan-
60, or Japan, could be reached either
by an eastward or westward passage
But the latter was considered too fool
hardy an adventure. The spherical
shape of the earth. he points out. had
been calculated by the Greek mathe:
maticians many centuries before and
their conclusions were generally ac-
cepted. although nobody actually had
sailed around the globe to prove the
point.
The real glory of Columbus, Prof Nc
Carthy says, lies in the fact he made
such an extensive study of the whole
geographical problem. and reached in
dependent conclusions on which he was
willing to stake his life before asking
anybody to invest money in his expedi-
ton. 1t happened, fortunately for the
world and for Columbus himself. that
his calculations were wrong. He be-
lieved the world much smaller than 1t
really is, and died convinced that he
had reached the islands of Cipango.
For his adventure, says Prof. McCar-
thy, the great navigator gathered the
most complete data ever assembled for
the solution of geographical problem.

CHINESE AFRAID JAPANESE WILL
 GO ON FURTHER
May Be Planning an Ad-
 vance Beyond the Great Wall as Far as Tientsin
BY HERBERT R. EKINs

United Press Stan C0rrcspondent)
 Peiping, Jan 16-Chinese offi- cials feared today that the Japan- csc were planning an advance from the great wall toward Ttentsin. although the Shanhaikwan area was quiet and there was little ac- tivity outside the wall.
 The fears were based on re- ports from Gen Ho Gnu kuo, commander of the Chinese garri- son at Shanhaikwan. Heavy Chi. nese concentrations were reported along the 100-mile railway from Tientsin to Shanhaikwan. J apa- nese were concentrating at Suic- hung and Chinchow, and 1t was believed here that the Japanese would attempt to drive the Chinese to the Tientsin side of the Lan river.
 Outside the great wall, the Jap anese accepted the challenge of Gen Feng Chan Hia's "big swords" who harrassed tho Nipponese troops last week and claimed to have checked their advance into Jehol province. Manchoukuo troops protected the Japanese rear, while Japanese troops launched counter attacks at strategic points outside the great wall including Kailu and Tungliao.
 skirmishes, but no important engagements were reported be- tween Chinese and Manchoukuo patrols from Chiofenkuo, the ninth gate pass, to Shihmenchia, tho tenth gate pass. Chinese feared the Japanese intended to renew their operations from the ninth gate in an effort to close pass through the wall as far inland as Kupeikow. The Japanese stated last week that they intended merely to occupy the passes, blocking Chi- nese entry into Manchuria.
