IS MOW LEADING THE WORLD. fir Robert Glffen In a Taper Recently Iteail lie fore Royal rtallstlcal So ciety Discusses Our Posl- tioa a a Distributor of Manufacture. WASHINGTON, May 23. The fact that the United States has overtaken and passed the United Kingdom as an export country, and Is now ladlng the world as distributor of manufactures and of natural products, is u'seussed in an elaborate paper by Sir Robert Glften, recently read before the Royal Statistical society of England and just received by the treasury department. The paper says: "There are obvious reasons why the United States should have an excess of exports. In the first place the Unit ed States has to pay In Its exports for the share of the carriage of goods in its foreign trade which is performed by foreign ships. This Is a very large fig ure. In recent years the proportion of the imports and exports of the United States carried in foreign ships has ranged between 75 per cent and 80 per cent, so that the United States Is a country which has had to pay other nations for the carriage of its goods in the foreign trade. It may be men tioned, by the way, that the foreign country which does the carrying trade for the United States Is mainly the United Kingdom, and In this difference between the two countries, accordingly, we have an explanation of the excess of the Imports In the United Kingdom and of the excess of exports In the case of the United States. Next the United States is a country which owes money in various ways to foreign nations. There is an annual stream of Ameri can visitors to Europe and there Is an American colony permanently residing 4n Europe whose expenses have to be paid for. More Important still, a great deal of capital has been Invested in the United States by Europeans by English people, by Dutch people and Belgians, as well as by French and Germans, not to speak of minor na tionalities In Europe. The Interest on this debt has, of course, to be paid In exports unless to the extent that In a given period reinvestments are made in the United States. In these various ways, then, an excess of exports from the United States cambe accounted for, and it may be questioned whether in re cent years, when the excess of exports was so large, any great withdrawal of capital from the United States was in progress." Discussing the changes in the export trade of the United Kingdom, Mr. Glffen's paper suys: "One cannot but be struck by the incessant changes that are going on in the nature of our foreign trade. It Is one thing at one period, another thing at another period, and a few years suffice to make a great transformation. Probably this has always been the rule. At one time in the history of our for eign trade the export of raw wool, to use a common phrase, was king; at a later, the export of woolen manufact ures; at a still later the export of cot ton manufactures, and last of all, about 20 or 30 years ago, the export of iron and iron manufactures. . What we see in the recent history Is that other things than those mentioned have lately been developing the most rapidly. Coal and other articles have been ex ported more largely than ever before and they occupy a larger proportionate place in our export lists. Some entirely new articles, such as cycles, appear In' these lists for the first time. At the same time our shipping fleet, whose work, as we have seen, is an export in a special form, has developed prodig iously. Coal and shipping together, we may say, now occupy a chief place such as was formerly held by wool, then by woolen manufactures and then by Iron and Iron manufactures." Summarizing the causes of the re cent changes in the ferelgn trade of various countries, Mr. Giffen's paper says: " "The excess of Imports Is to be ac counted for In the trade of a country like Englfcnd in several ways, princi pally by the fact that England Is a ship-owning country, and does a large business all over the wdrld In carrying goods and passengers. This work la really in itself In the nature of an ex port, giving the country a credit for so much in its dealings with other coun tries. In addition, England is a coun try which earns largely commissions of different kinds In Its trade with dif ferent countries as the commercial and monetary center of the world's trade. Last of all, England is one of the countries which have become entitled to the receipt of large interests and profits from other countries on account of capital which it has invented and business which it carries on in such countries, lncludingthe sums receiva ble by British subjects in the service of a dependency like India. "With regard to the earnings of ships It is pointed out that the increase al lowed for is very -much lesa than the Increase in the magnitude of the ship ping fleet Itself. In 1SS2 the calcula tion was that the shipping fleet con sisted of 4,000.000 tons of sailing ships and 2,00,000 tons of steamers, the equiv alent In sailing tons of steamers being considered to be 10,000,000 tons, making the total In all 14,000,000 tons. At the present time the shipping fleet consists of a (smaller number of aniline tonnage, the number of tons being now only 2,500,000. But the Tiumber of steam tons has Increased to 6.500,000. equiva lent on the former computations to 26,000,000 tons, and making the total of the fleet at the present time In the equivalent of sailing tonnage over 23, 000,000 tons, or double what the figure was 18 years ago. "If the earnings of the ships had in creased proportionately to what they were In 18S2, the figjre would now be 110,000,000, as compared with an amount between 70,01)0.000 and 80, J09.000 nbove estimated." fJUEER EXTRADITION CASE. tie i too Asks Uncle Bam to Surrender One or HU Cltlsens. WASHINGTON, May 23. The new Mexican ambassador, Senor Manuel Aspiroz, will soon present to President McKlnley a request for the extradition to Mexico of Mrs. Rich, for the murdei of her husband, Martin Rich, also an American. She attacked her husband In Mexico, but he died on American soil. This will be the first case under the new extradition treaty recently ne gotiated between the United States and Mexico. . Rich, who was old and wealthy, lived In Juarez, Mexico, near the border. Hit wife decided to get rid of him and se cure his money. She stabbed him In the back with a dagger. Death wai not Instantaneous. To escape the Mex ican authorities the wife took the dy ing man and tied with him to El Pasc de Tolas, In American territory. Mexi can oincere came hot on her trail. Rich did not die until a day or so aftei reaching the United States. The Mexican consul in the town madt a requisition for the possession of tht prisoner, but the woman set up the claim of American citizenship. The Mexican government sent the papers to Ambassador Aspiroz. Though the murdered man died on A nerlcan soil the stabbing was done in Mexico. Mex ico declares it has a right to demand the return of such a prisoner. The fact of the prisoner's Amerlcar citizenship leaves the case in a dif ferent light. This is the first time th United States has been called upon tc extradite one of Its own subjects. There Is a clause In the new treaty placing the extradition of a person who Is a native of the country from which il is dtsired to take him under the dis cretion of the president. TOf ELECT SENATORS DIRECT The Commission Appointed by the I'enn aylvniila Legislature at Work. HARRISBURG. May 23.-The lolnl commission appointed bv the recenl legislature to confer with the legisla tures of other states senators by direct popular vote has already done consid erable work. The committee does nol propose to wait until the meeting ol the legislature before agitating the subject, but will at once bring the mat ter before the public by means of the platform and press. The member! hope to hnve- public opinion so aroused on the question that when legislatures meet one or two years hence they may be prepared to act intelligently. Senator J. Bayard Henry of Phila delphia, chairman of the commission, was in Harrisburg In conference with Representative Andrew J. Palm ol Meadvllle, secretary, on its future work. The advocates of the movement ir this state believes Governor Stone's appointment of ex-Senator Quay wll make it popular with thp people, and that, if he should happen to be seated. It will intensify the feeling againsl the election by the leglslature.A meet ing of the commission will probably be held In this city this fall to map out additional work before the meeting ol the next legislature.

Courtroom to Beat 1,000 I'eople Hat lleen Secured at Heading. BEADING, Pa., May 23. The prin cipal topic of discussion In Beading Is the coroner's Inquest into the horror on the Philadelphia and Beading railway In which 29 people were killed and 60 Injured. Coroner Bothermel has de cided that the board of trade rooms are entirely too small, and the use of the main room In the court house, which seats 1,000 people, has been secured. The railway company will be rep resented by some of its best counsel, and, while the general details of the disaster are old to the public, yet It Is expected that new facts will be elicited, and unusual interest is manifested, be cause there are many conflicting ru mors as to what the official investiga tion will disclose. There are numerous repnrth as to the particular employes who will be censured, but there Is a general public opinion that the result nf the Investiga tion will be the condemnation of a method of railroading which makes such an accident possible rather than the blame of any particular individual.

The Paris, of the American Line, Fast Ashore. dearly Four Hundred Passenger Taken Off and Landed Without a Single Mis hap The Accident Occurred OtT the English Coaet Just Southwest of the Manacles. FALMOUTH, May 22. The Ameri can line steamer Paris, Captain Wat kins, from Southampton and Cher bourg for New York, struck on an out lying ridge of the Manacles at a point half mile from where the wrecked Atlantic transport liner Mohegari iies. The Paris, which sailed 'from South ampton Saturday, called at Cherbourg and picked up 60 passengers. She left Cherbourg at 6 o'clock that evening. Soon after 1 o'clock in the morning at high tide and in a dense fog she ran ashore. From the first there was no danger. Lifeboats and tugs were soon literally swarming around the vessel to render assistance. A malorlty of the passengers, who numbered 380, were brought to Falmouth. STEAMER PARIS. The first Intimation of the vessel's striking the rocks was a slight grating sound, which was followed by a sec ond and more pronounced shock. The lookout shouted that there was some thing looking ahead, but before there was time to reverse the engines the ship had gone on the rocks, 200 yards from the shore. Assistance was sum moned by means of rockets and the coast guards promptly telephoned to the life saving station for boats. A malorlty of the passengers were not aware that an accident had hap pened until they were called up by the stewards. On reaching the deck they found the ship's boat In perfect read iness for their reception. The sea was perfectly calm and the only discomfort that the passengers experienced was caused by the slight rain that was fall ing at the time. Owing to the calm ness of the sea the boats could be man aged with entire safety. Perfect or der prevailed aboard the vessel. Cap tain Watklns stood on the bridge giv ing orders, and his calmness of de meanor had a reassuring effect upon the passerrgers. In accordance with the Instructions of the captain, the women and children were the first to be taken off the ship. Such perfect order was maintained that a puesenger de scribed the scene as simply a slow pro cession of women and children walking in single file to the boats. When dawn broke everyone on board was relieved to find the Bhore on one side and lifeboats lying near by on the other. The vessel lay with her head to the southwest, the reversing of her engines having put her broadside on to the rocks. The dangers of the vicinity were strikingly brought home to the passen gers and crew by the masts of the wrecked steamer Mohegan, which were sticking out of the water and by a miserable bell buoy which tolls almost constantly as though sounding a death knell. When the Paris struck the tide was within an hour of the flood, and this proved Insufficient to raise her oft the rocks. Hundreds of people visited the scene during the day. It Is stated that those In charge of the Paris were so perfectly confident that they were pursuing the proper course that the vessel was steaming 18 or 19 knots an hour when they struck. There will be little danger to the steamer If the long calm continues but should the wind veer to the east or southeast the consequence might be serious. Gangs of men on lighters have gone to the stranded steamer to take oft the belongings of the passengers. It Is reported that two forward compart ments of the Paris are full of water. The officer's log determines the posi tion of the Paris and the position of the wreck of the Mohegan shows that the Paris was even more out of her course than the Mohegan, she having passed between the Mohegan and the shore, and then when the mistake was dis covered having changed her course in the hope of clearing the rocks, thus mi raculously escaping the Manacles. nigh Tide Failed to Float Her. COVERACK, May 22. The efforts to float the Paris at high water were unsuccessful and the vessel remains in about the same position on the reef, with deep water on both sides. Re newed efforts will be made at the next tide to get her oft. COST $125,000,000. Admiral Walker's Estimate of the Nic araguaa Canal Project. WASHINGTON, May 20. Admiral John Walker, the president of tht; Nic araguan canal commission, called at the state department and had a lung talk with Secretary Hay respecting the work of the commission and the course to be pursued by the new Isthmian ca nal commission, which Is to be appoint ed to carry forward the work of the present Nicaraguan canal commission. Admiral Walker was able to an nounce the completion of the work of the present commission and promised to have the final report ready for sub mission to the president by next Mon day He intimated that the estimate of cost of the projected canal was $125,. 000,000, the mean between the estimates of the Individual members. Two Months More For Volunteers. WASHINGTON. May 19. War de partment officials expect that within two months the Pacific transport fleet will be on its way home from Manila with the last of the volunteer regi ments. The entire Pacific fleet Is now being overhauled and provisioned fur the voyage to Manila and return. The Sherman, Grant and Sheridan are un der orders to carry regular troops to take the place of the volunteers. t CURRENCY i..FO..M. Scheme Adopted by the House Repub lican Caucus I fimmlttee. WASHINGTON, May 22.-H Is Mnder stood that the house Republican cau cus committee appointed to frame a scheme of currency reform has agreed upon a measure along the following lines: The redemption of a.11 obligations of the government In gold on demand. Greenbacks when once redeemed for gold to be reissued only for gold. Per mitting national banks to issue notes to the par value of their government bonds deposited in the treasury, in stead of 90 per cent as at present. Per mitting the minimum capital of na tional banks to be $25,000 instead of J.iO.OtiO as at present. This plan is much less comprehen sive than ardent advocates of general currency revision have urged, but was adopted because harmonious agreement on It was possible, which was not the case when more radical measures wert suggested. FIRE AT DAWSON CITY. Th Ituslness Portion of the Town Wlprd Out Lose 1,000,000. VICTORIA, B. C, May 22.

The news was telegraphed over the wires from Bennett by the special cor respondent of The Dally Alaskan, who received It from a man named Tokales, who had Just reached Bennett from a long and perilous trip out from Daw son over broken trails, open rivers and dangerous lakes.
