ICHARD sburgh, Pa. f WASHINGTON LETTER Special io The Crmmercial. ‘Washington, Nov. 24.—It is no joke to the congressmen that they will lose their mileage because it has been decreed that there shall be no ad- journment before the regular session begins next month. Probably the larger number of the Senators ana Representatives have been obliged to go home to attend to private or pub. lic business, or both, and they have had to put up for th expense out of their own pockets, with no prospect of being reimbursed. The item of twenty cents per mile allowed them for traveling is not very important to those who live at no great dis- tance, but to the members on the Pacifie Coast it comes to $1,200 or $1,300 for each term, and of eourse that sum is missed when it is with- held. Attempts haye been made to cut down the rate of mileage but with- out success. The result of cutting it would be to discourage some mem- bers from bringing their families to Washington with them, amd as Con- gressman Mann of Illinois remarked when the subject was being discussed on the floor of the House, itis better for members to have their families with them. However, it occurs to ‘one to ask why Congress should not be a Tittle more liberal with other pul servamts for traveling expenses. 3Také our Oensuls, for example. They are ‘allowed but ome fourth as mmeh as Members of Congress, «or five cents per mile, and frequently this will not cover 'the bare epst of the comsul’s individuell fare, mot to mention that of transporting his wife, family, and possibly chattels, to his post of ‘duty. However, thereiis a disposition in the business "world to ask that CGengress show more libsrality to the Ceasular Servige, which is largely instrumen- tal in building up our immense for- ‘eign trade of “over four billions of dollars a year. BOOSTING FOREIGN TRARE. The foreign trade of Great Britain is-about five billions of dollars a year, and that ofthe United States is gain- ing on it steadily. In the promotion -of the expovt business of thie country the State\ Department has accom- plished a igleat deal, mostly through the ‘consular\ service and the Presi- dent is desirous" of extending it to a further degree, He has approved of ‘a proposition to\establish.e corps of consular agents at foreign capitals, with the idea that they shall work in conjunetion with the eomsuls. If the right kind of men shall be sent abroad this plan will prove of great advant- ‘age to American exporters. Germany J probably has the best system of this kind at present, and her foreign trade is going .ahead by leaps aml bounds. -Binee the Consular Serwice was put: under:2ivil service regulapions, it has greatly improved, and a better class «of men: has been sent to fereign coun- tries. :Some of the oldereonsuls pro- bably -ought to be remewed for the good.of the service, but en the other) hand, Congress should provide some |\ form.ef retirement for cemsuls, who receive. but a modest rate.of pay and and can hardly keep up the appear- ancessdemanded of them by the Gov- ernment and lay aside amything on which.to retire. They should be teat- «©d as avell.as the Army and, Navy, at Jdeast. : TRADE AGENCIES ABROAD. American trade agencies have been formed abroad, ome of the first of these being the American «Chamber of Commerce in Paris, feunded in 1894. Since'then other similar organ- izations .have been formed at, Berlin, Naples, Constantinople and .one is Proposed for Rio de Janeiro. The study of foreign commerce is both interesting and profitable. This country farnishes three-fourths of the raw cetton grown in the entire world, yet thesbiggest trade in <otton cloths is enjoyetl by such conntries as England, Germany, France, and, to a NEW BRITISH MOVE WAR VESSELS DISPATCHED TO MEXICO WITHOUT THE PSUAL FORMAL NOTICE, WASHINGTON IS MYSTIFIED Wilson Still Thinks Huerta Will Re- 1 tire—Hale’s Break with Carranza Renews Dictator’s Hope of Re- maining—Can’t Defer Longer. Washington, Nov. 20.—When it be- came known that the British govern- ment had ordered three warships to Mexican waters something akin to a sensation was caused in Washington, and it is certain that this unexpected step has great significance. It was only on October 28 that the Secre- tary of State announced that Great Britain, France and Germany had been asked by the United States to take no action in Mexico until they heard further from the United States, and that each of those countries had agreed to do this. It was definitely understood at the ine that Secretary Bryan approached these European countries becsuse of aotivity which he believed to be threatened. There was certainly much evidence of European dissatis- ‘taction over the course the United ‘States was following, and it was ex pected that the representation made ‘to Europe by Mr. Bryan would be followed by come @canite action. Such, however, has mot been the result, and conseguently the dispatch- ing of British warships to Mexican waters, hitherto sedulously avoided by British ships, arouses comment and speculation. The speculation ex- tends even to the corclusion that the British govermment ‘is tired of Amer ‘can inactivity’ and has decided to look after its ‘own interests in Mex ‘co without deferring to President Wilson’s policy, ‘or to the prestige America is supposed to have in Latin American affairs. President Wilson has some reason to beljeve that .before long Victoriamo Huerta, dictator of Mexico, will retire from the office to which he so tena- ciously clings in utter defiance of the wishes of this government. Therein lies the reason for the optimism which has pervaded official circles in the face of bad news from unofficial sources in Mexico City. Despatches from Mexico City “indi cate that Huerta is more determined than ever ‘to ignore the demands made by the United States. He will not resign the presidency and both his cabinet and the new Mexican con- gress are expected to. lend their ap- proval to his defiance. The provisional Presidents latest move is to accuse an American offi. ‘cial, United States Consul-General Hanna, at Monterey, of aiding rebels. Despatches from Nogales report «that William Bayard Hale's wegotia tions with General Carranza ' have been a complete failure. ¥ =, CANAL MAY DISAPPOINT British Shipbroker Does Not Look for Great Trade Increass mt First. London, Nov. 20.—Howard Houlder, of Messrs. Howard Houlder and Part. ners, shipbrokers, in an inaugural ad. dress ‘at the Institute of Shipbrokers, said the opening of the Panama ‘Canal might lead to a result exactly the opposite to ‘what apparently some of the large lines expected, in so far as they were adding to their tonnage on the score of increased traffic when the canal opened. It seemed to him that the question was one of population on the other side of the canal and that they were not going to have any great increase in the volume of trade until the Pa. cific coast, both north and south, had a very much larger population than it had at present. : MILLIONS IN FRISCO DEALS Profits of Failesl Road's Officials iim Syndicates Disclosed at Com- merce Board Inquiry, (By BE. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 30 CROSSING THE JORDAN. LESSON TEXT—Joshua 37-17. GOLDEN TEXT—"Fear thou not for 1 am with thee.”—Isa. 41:10. The spies sent out by Joshua (ch. 2) were animated by quite a different motive than that which’ governed those who first visited Canaan, and they brought back a much different report (Num. ch. 13). The story of their experience in Jeriche’ with Ra- hab, their escape from her house, and the incident of the “scarlet thread,” will prove an interesting introduction for today’s lesson. There are two suggestions in the preparation for the crossing of the Jordan mentioned in the first seven verses of this chapter: (1) It was to be an orderly advance (v. 4); mo disorderly crowding about those who led. This was also to be a sure path, though they had not passed that way before, for God was leading, (2) It was to be a prayerful advance (v. 5). Literally, they were to “un- dertake great things for God and to expect great things from God.” Jesus Must Lead. i. The Leader, vv. 7, 8. The cir cumstances surrounding this episode are far different from those at the grossing of the Red sea. Moses’ en- ‘counter with Pharaoh had stamped him as the one who should save the nation. True, in the battles and im his association with Moces Joshua had occupied a position of leadership, but now he is to deliver Israel from the death of the wilderness inte ‘the life and possessions of Canaan, hence the words, “I will magnify thee in the sight of all Israel.” It is motice- able, however, that Joshua did not lead this forward march, but Tather the priests. The ark which they bore is a type of Christ and he must al- ways lead. Jehovah magnified Joshua because Joshua had magnified Jeho- vah, see I. Sam. 2:30, John 17:4, 5. Il. Those Led, vv. 9-13. Jo once communicates Jehovah’s order for a forward march to the ‘people (I. Thess. 2:13). But God graciously ac- companies his word by a visible mani- festation of his presence (v. 10, 11) cf. I. John 1:1, Col. 2:9. It was the word and presence «of ‘the “living God” (v. 10) that was ‘to work this miracle, and to accomplish the victo- rious possession of the land in ac- cordance with his own sure promise. This lesson is a great lesson of types. God, through the leading of his priests bearing the ark (a type of Christ), leads man from the failures of his wilderness experience, through death (the Jordam), into newness of life (C#naan), Rom. ‘6:4,°9. Previous: ly the mention of the names of these enemies (v. 10) had ‘so frightened Israel that they turned aside in a panic, but Israel had ‘been learning in the bitter school of .discipline and failure. “The Lord of :all the earth” (v. 11) is to lead, why then fear? There was, however, to be a test, viz., the path was not to open until their feet were in the waters. There was no such test at the Red: sea, for they did not then have sufficient faith, I. Cor. 10:13, I. Peter 1:7. ‘Israels One Way. Il. The Dry Ground, wy. 14-17. Up until the moment they stepped into the water, priest amd people alike re- lied upon the bare word of Jehovah, I. Sam. 15:22. We, too, will surely find a way of escape if ‘we yield him implicit obedience, Isa. 43:2; I. Cor. 10:13. As if to heighten ‘this miracle we need to remember it ‘was the sea- son of flood tide {w. 15). The river Jordan is a great type ©f the judg- ment passed upon sim.
