COURT ACTION
REQUESTED ON
ABSENTEE VOTES
LARGE NUMBER CHALLENGED
DURING VOTING PERIOD;
HELD FOR INSPECTION BY
CANVASSING BOARD

Yesterday was productive OF
many election surprises but the
greatest one of the day, it is
pointed out, was the large number
of absentee votes which were chal-
lenged, held for reference to the
canvassine board or otherwise
handled, until it was found that
so many we're evidently wrong"
that the matter was taken before
Judge jefferson B. Browne, of
circuit court, for action.
The first action taken by the
court was on the application of
State Senator Arthur Gomez, rep
Iesenting the voters, and Attorney
William V. Albury, representing
the clerks and inspectors.
This was mandamus instruct
ing inspectors to issue ballots to
certain persons who had been de-
MED the right to vote because the
records showed they had cast abb
Sentee ballots. This the voters in
question denied on oath, and the
judge issued the mandamus-
Later in the evening the judge
issued another order which re-
strained the clerks and inspectors
from counting the absentee bal
lots Until further orders.
This morning the matter was
decided for the time being by the
following order signed by Judge
Browne: at is hereby stipulated
between counsel for the petition
ers and counsel for the respond
ents, that respondents may turn
over to the clerk of this court all
absentee ballots, properly con-
tanned in a sealed container, to-
gether with the envelopes contain
ing the affidavits of electors
voting absentee ballots and return
TO the proper officials the ballot
boxes. unused ballots, and all
other documents and papers used
in the conduct of the primary
election held June 2. 1886. 1t IS
/ further stipulated that if and
when the matter is determined by
! court that the respective officials
will meet to make such returns as
! may be directed by the court"

The other side of the picture is
emphasized in the familiar decla-
ration that "to sell, we must buy"
Among the things that the United
States imports from abroad are
coffee, crude rubber, raw silk,
book pulp, spices, tin materials,
etc. The nations which buy from
us must pay for their purchases
either in goods, services, or gold.
AS most readers know. the United
States has already acquired vast
hoard Of gold Besides, the gold
stocks of foreign nations are so
low that payment in gold is i'm
possible. To pay in services, other
nations must be able to sell us
transportation insurance or credit
in the form of loans. but the
United States needs no credit
from abroad, is able to handle its
own insurance, and, along with
other nations. is substituting ships
to build up its own merchant ma
rines. Obviously. this leaves other
nations unable to buy our goods
in quantity unless they are per-
mitted to sell their products in
this country.

The State Department is con-
fronting other difficulties in its
effort to boost our trade abroad.
Brazil is said to be negotiating
agreements with Germany and
Italy without according this cOun-
try NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS." treat
ment. Australia is said to have
applied discriminatory tariff rates
against certain American goods.
Particularly disturbing is the sit
uation in North China, where the
japanese are charged with en-
couraging smuggling of goods into
China and with practically pro-
hibiting the Chinese government
from collecting duties. This means
in effect. that the traders of other
nations, being forced to pay duties
in China, will be unable to COM
pete with the Japanese and will
therefore lose the Chinese mar
ket. Just exactly what steps will
be taken by other nations in re-
gard to the smuggling traffic in
North China, are uncertain but it
is said that the recent agreement
of the United States to buy silver
from China is calculated to put
pressure on Japan and that the
probability is that Great Britain
will also take action to halt the
smuggling operation.

This action was hardly in ac-
cord with Secretary HulPs pro-
gram but the President felt that
he had to meet a special situation.
In this connection, it is pointed
out that japanese shipments to
this country during the first quar-
ter OF this year increased nearly
20 per cent over those of a year
ago. While this seems to be a
large gain, the Tariff Commission
points out that in 1885 our i'm
ports of cotton cloths from all
sources were less than l per cent
of our domestic production. Critics
of the Presidents action point out
that Japan in 1885 sold US $751;
600, 900 worth Of goods and bought
from us $2O3,O0O,O0O wort h i.
Moreover, the japanese have been
buying more than $40 worth of

been selling to us.
