Look Into Japanese Trade.
A survey of Japan's price-cutting
drive into markets under the Amer
lean flag is reported under way with
in both the State and Commerce De-
partments.
1t was stated authoritatiVely, how
ever, that final figures have yet to be
tabulated as to exactly how deep
Japan's rowing traders have dug into
American sales in the Philippines,
Hawaii, Panama and other American
territory.
Until this complete trade picture is
finished. it was said, no final plan will
be formed to combat Japanese appro-
priation of traditional American
markets.
Inroads Disturbing"
Suggestions that the United States
might follow Great Britain's lead and
close American territorial markets to
Japanese goods through strict import
quotas were discounted by high Of
ficials.
Japans commercial inroads into
American sales in this country's ter
ritorial possessions, the same officials
said, could be considered as disturbing.
but not serious in proportion to the
total trade volume.
Steady Gain Shown.
Official Japanese trade figures, on
file in the State and Commerce De-
partments, show steady gains by per-
centage increases. The totals in guam
titles and dollar values, however, are
still only fraction of United States
foreign trade.
The official figures show japanese
sales in the United States proper have
increased from AIS $3.50 900 yen in 1881
to 492 $4,000 yen in 1888. January
imports show an increase Of more
than 100000 yen over January, 1898,
and indicate Japan has not relaxed
its drive.
The yen has a nominal value OF so
cents. but has huctuated between 81
and Is cents since Japan went of
the gold standard.

4 T DOES afford great deal of pleasure
to recall to mind the many persons we
have known and maybe associated with In
our early life. OF course, there is GER
tain tinge of sadness when we bring to
mind who is no longer with us
and yet. if the absent one happens to be a man
of outstanding integrity, of unusual mind and
talents, or a foremost and highly respected cltl.
zen the knowledge of this fact makes us
rejoice that we knew such man, admired his
worth and esteemed him as friend.
Just so years ago the 2lst of next July the
writer became an employe of the National Mu
scum and continued to work there for many
years. Today he knows but one Morsell A.

The act of Congress providing for the
struction of the old building of the National
Museum, which adjoinS the Smithsonian and
which is now known as the Arts and Industries
Building, was passed by the Senate February
%, 1879, and by the House of Representatives
on March g. short while later and in six
weeks the building was started. BY the time
of the Inauguration of James A. Garfield
March 4, 1881, it was almost completed and
the inaugural ball upon that occasion was held
there. Shortly afterward it opened to the
public.
The building was designed by Adolph Cluss
and Paul Schulze of this city, the plans being
suggested by Prof. Spencer S. Baird, Gen. Will
liam T. Sherman and Peter Parker. after they
had carefully examined the most approved
structures of the kind in the Old 9nd Mex

No longer is the old dynamo used IN the

In 1884 the National Museum was under the
direction of the Smithsonian Institution. it
has always been, and the secretary of the in
stitution then Prof. Spencer F. Baird, was
its director. George Brown Goode, one of the
greatest. administrators and scientists who ever
came to the museum, was the assistant direc-
tor and took full charge of everything The
curators at that time were Tarleton H. Bean,
w. H. Dali F. E. Deney, j. M. Flint, Richard
Rathbun, Charles Rau, Robert Ridgway, c. V.
Riley, Lester F. Ward, Charles A. White and
H. G. Yarrow. Frederick w. True, afterward
assistant secretary of the institution, was then
the librarian and S. c. Brown the register.
These have all passed on and their places are
being filled by others.
THE Museum Library was then in the north
west part of the old building, where it is
today. Later Prof. Otis T. Mason the ethnolo-
gist had his Offices at the west center of the
building and here Dr. Walter Hough, present

that the normal reaction would
set in at the election, following
the overwhelming Roosevelt land
slide of two years ago.
The Democrats were willing to
accept this situation at the open
ing of the campaign. They hoped
for a few additions in the Senate,
which would be normal, and hoped
to lose not more than SO seats in
the House of Representatives.
The Republicans, on the other
hand, at the start were willing to
admit q few losses in the Senate
and hoped to gain about 10 seats
in the House.
These results would have been
acceptable to everyone and would
not have been of any great sig
nificance either as an indorse.
ment or q reputation Of the New
Deal.
Situation Changed
But since the start Of the cam
paign a month or so ago the situa-
ton has gone on a stratosphere
flight.
Everyone in Washington is up
in the air and, judging by reports,
everyone in the "field" is in a
similar state Of suspension.
The Democrats are again talk
ing seriously of unseating Senator
David Reed in Pennsylvania.
They are talking of all sorts Of
things that would be considered
simply the widest vaporings in

which they base their hopes.

their courage by making predic-
tons which they privately admit
to be without foundation. Others
frankly have gone into the dumps.
Old-time members of the House
and Senate who have dropped
into Washington in the course of
the campaign are admittedly fear
full of retaining their seats unless
something resembling a miracle
occurs within the next three
weeks.
They are worried and dis
traught. They can't find any
base upon which to lay a solid
frlndation.
It is a situation which has not
occurred in decades. No one
knows how the people are think
ing or how they will vote.
And when Washington doesn't
know that, the situation is indeed
desperate.
