that tilled the streets of Columbus. The
Rate military was represented In the pa

Com pan lei of United Plates troops were in

, Hut the olltical clubi formed the feature
of the parade, the number of different or
ganisations of this kind, their uniforms
and fine appearance being the subject of
general remark.
Contrary to former experience npon many
similar occasions in late years, the weather
was clear and cold, and well pavid streets
were dry and clean. About 5,000 men were
in the procession.
The parade was reviewed by the governor
and his staff. Many leading citizens in
ilitical, social and business life occupied

was on Hroad street, north of the Capitol.
The weather being clear the inauguration
ceremony was held at the west front of the

even if we would, to current business con

our fellow citizens are without work becwuse
they cannot tind unvthing to do. There are
homes in the state whieli less than a year
ogo were tilled with cheer and contentment
that are now haunted with hunger. Our
hearts go out in feeling sympathy to these
unfortunate ones of our fellow citizens, and
our purses should opon to them in sweet
and substantial charity. The present situ

letter mid spirit of the constitution; and the
best government is always that one which

After referring to the progress of the State
the governor concluded as follows: "Let us

THE TRADE OF A TEAR.
ANNUAL REPORT OP THE CHIEP
Of the Bureau of Statistics,
and Exports Amounted
1,714,060,000.
Imports
to
The annual report of the Chief of tbe
Bureau of Statistics, Worthington C Ford,
which hss just been issued, comprise 157
printed quarto pages of statistic of the
foreign commerce of tbe United Mates for
the year ended June JO, 1893, and discusses
St considerablelengtb tbe causes of the gold
movement. The report says:
The noticeable features of these figures
sre: 1 he values of imorts of merchsndlse
attained tbe highest mark In the commer
cial history of tbe country; the exports of
gold resched a higher figure than ever before
e'tninedina single year since the founda
tion of the Government, In 104 tbe exports
of gold reached the fiiur 1100.601. OSi. and
this has been the high water niark of gold
exports until the last year. In lnt3 the net
export of gold were les tbsn the net ex
ports of Wv, being H7..V3,i03,as compared
with SHlMM.WiSin 1W4. The exports of
IHrH were due to a pressure resultlug from
year of war and consequent derangement
of commerce and Industry, and to a general
displacement of gold and silver from circu
lation by iss'its by bank and Government
pan-r. An out wurd movement of gul l of
nearly the same amount, occurring In a
lime of teace and apparently In defiance of
commercial laws, will make the yar l$Ki
notable lor this single Item In its financial
and commercial ex perience. It Is true the
country in Ie.1 was heller able to lose
fiuo ooi'ln gold then than it was in lt4. An
Import and export trade of 1 1,7 W.080.(XY
is good evidence of an economic standing
and capacity, immeasurably superior to the
situation that prevailed in 1W4, when tbe
trade of the country was onl v one fourth as
great as in 1H.I3. viz: 473,2M3,000,
"A number of oirciimstances combine to
make the tra leof the year of lHJ.i an inter
esting study in tbe general luws governing
interiml commerce. The previous two years
were noteworthy through the enormous
grain and cotton crops gathered in JHl't In
the United States and a partial failure of the
grain crops In European countries, thus
giving this country a natural command
over European markets. Exp.irts ' were
largely increased with the result tnat tbe
export trade figures for 102 were larger
than have ever before been attained In the
commercial experience of tbe country.
Hie inlliieiice of such an exceptional year
was not confined to tbe twelve months of
that year, and made itself felt in the suc
ceeding year, but with constantly decreas
ing tiled."
The report then discusses the causes
of the outward movement of gold, and
lavs:
"With the exception of two months nam
ed It Is an unbroken record from Jsnuary
1, until July, 103. when there was a
turn in the other direction. Tbe sales or
purchase of American securities by for
eigners, the investment or withdrawal of
foreign capital from undertakings in the
United Stales, the money transferred In
payment of interests and dividends and re
mittances to Americans abroad no one of
these lectors is a subject of official record.
That foreign capital is required for the de
velopment of our res nirce isshown by the
heavy investments known to have been
made in almost every kind of security and
adventure, and these investments were in
creasing yearly.
"The decrease shown In 1802 Is sn expres
sion of what has been tbe general bedel of
those iu a Hiaition to be well informed and
was continued, even aggravated. , in 18U3.
Tbls points to the withdrawal of large sums
of foreign capital invested Iu this country
t4 kv axuwht ehaT trutt icwi"- A
bankers, who buy and sell American
securities on foreign account, some figures
which may illustrate, even If they may not
measure this movement. Hy Uieir courtesy
1 am ableto make the following estimate,
intended to show the direction of the sale
and purchases since January, 18'.'3:
"Il is estimated that between 73,000,000
and 100,UOO.OOO In shares of different de
scriptions have keen soldon foreign account
in the United State from January 1 to the
beginning of August. To this sum must be
added from 13,uoo,oo0 to 923.000.000 In
various kinds of bonds, chiefly currency
bonds, that have heen sold on European
orders, coining from England. Germany,
Holland and Kelgnan. 1 think It Is a safe
estimate to place ilie extent of the cutire
Inward movement from June, 1V2,
to June U'.M at upward of f 200,000,000, as
there is every evidence that tbe movement
was continuous for the twelve m onths of
tbe fiscal year.
"Against this return of American secur
ities must be set tbe amount purchased on
foreign account, whether for speculation
or actual Investments. 1 should
place the purchases for the entire
year at between I'.J,000,000 and f 100,0O0,0W
us the purchases must have been larger In
the last six mouths of IHVi than in tbe first
six months or lh!3. Thus the balance of
this movement was upwards of a hundred
millions on the side of imports of Ameri
can securities."

brave firemen with heroic energy were
risking life and limb to stay the destruc

HOW IT STAKTm.
At 5 40 p. in. a park policeman saw a
glow of light in a second story window ol
the Casino building. As the policemen
watched the flickering light it spread and
before be had time to realize it the glow
had resolved itself Into a tongue of flame
which burst from the window and crept up
toward the roof, The ofllcer ran to the
house of Engine Company No. 71, which
ha the tire bust Fire Oieen aud it
located but a short distance from lb
Casino.
It was but a few seconds run, but before
a leud of hose could be carried to the burn
ing structure the Casino was a blazing
shell. Every nook and cornor seemed to be
on lire and beforu a stream wa turned on
the roof of tae weal eud fell and Irom thi
spice thus opened the flame shot up to
the sky. A genoral alar.u was then sent
in.
The fire was carried by burning brands to
the promenade around tbe roof of the
Idaiiulaciurer and Liberal Arts building
almost iu the center and a little to tht
soutb of tbe clock tower, which formed l
strikingcenter piece in the great building.
Tbe plank walk, of which the promenadi
was constructed, furuisbed good materiel
for the Dames.
At midnight President Higginbotham
telephoned to the general manager of tin
associated press that tne loss by wsti
would oe much greater than by tire. Tin
total loss to exhibits he laid will not exceeo
100,000 and that all told the contents ot
tbe liberal arts building did not exceed
l.ooo.ooo in value. As to the casino, peris
tyle and uiuslo hall beaaid there is no lost
as it is tbs cheapest way to remove them.
LATEST FROM HONOLULU.
No Excitement and the Crial Believed
to be Faat.
A dispatch from Honolulu, Via Victoria,
B. C. says: Most intense excitement pre
vailed throughout Honolulu until the arri
val of the rtvenue cutter Corwin. After
that Minister Willis made his demand upon
President Dole to surrender the government
to tbe tpueen The provisional government
promptly refused and Minister Willis took
no further step to enforce compliance with
his order. Tbe excitement then rapidly
subsided and for a week there has been per
fect tranquility. It ia now thought tbut ths
crisis Las passed.
The queen had agreed, it now appears
from .official papers, to pardon all those
concerned in overthrowing tbe throne, and
if restored, to conduct the government pre
cisely as It existed on tbe day of revolution.
Tbii agreement nas signed on December 18,
1893. j

The Lose le Bstlmsted at 1760,000.
Several of the largest building blocks In
Toledo, O., wers burned Thursdsy night,
causing a loss estimated as high as 750.000.
Ths fire commenced on tbe river front of
F. M. Quale' s slevator about 0 o'clock, and
was probably caused by an explosion of
dust. A general alarm was turned In ami
the 18 fire companies of tbeclty responded.
Capt. Faazer, of Company No. 1, took four
of his men to the top of the elevator. The
flames spread furiously through the lower
part of tbe building and It wa soon seen
that the building could not be saved. Three
explosions of dust. followed soon after and
the burning building fell a mass of ruins.
Timbers were thrown In all directions and
dozens of people were struck by them, many
of them being badly injured.
The terrific wind that was blowing carried
ths flames right Into tbe heart of tbe city,
and it was three hours before they could bs
checked. About 200 business Arms and
offices were burned out.
