Tho Balance of Trade for the Tear Largely In Our Favor.

A GREAT YEAR FOR THIS NATION.

Tho Volume of Oar Commerce IJeati the liest Previous Jlccord by Many Millloiiti of l)ullurii~Iiitttro4t« lug Figure#.

A ILL'SV TWKI.VE MONTHS. WASHISOTOS, July 29.—The bureau of statistics of the treasury department has issued a summary statement and review of the foreign commerce and immigration of the United States during the liscnl .year ended June SO, 18U1. It gives also a comparison of the imports and exports of the last nine months, during which the new tariff law has been in effect, as compared with the corresponding nine month* of tlie preceding fiscal year. 'Hie statement says that the total value of the commerce of the fiscal year was the greatest in the history of the government and exceeded the total value of the commerce of 1S90 by S82,191,SOX The commerce of 1890 was the largest for any year in the history of the government up to that time, exceeding the commerce of tho prior year by the sum of 8150,1100,003. Our total commerce amounted to 81,7211,330,-

During the year there was an Increase of our Imports of merchandise, in the order of magnitude, in the following articles: Coffee, tin plates, hides and skins, fruits, chemicals and drugs, india rubber and gutta pereha, sugar and molasses, etc. There has been a decline in the value of our imports of wool and manufactures thereof. silks and manufactures thereof, hemp and jute and manufactures thereof, breadstuff's and animals.

The total value of our imports of merchandise during the last year was $bH,U05,4Hl. The total value of our exports of merchandise during the same period was §884,425,405, which shows an excess in favor of exports during the fiscal year of 839,510,014. There was also an excess of exports of domestic merchandise over such exports of the prior year of 520,041,737. The Increase in the exports has been in the following articles, stated in order of magnitude of increase: Raw cotton, provisions, refined sugar, cotton manufactures, copper and manufactures thereof, iron and steel and manufactures thereof. The values of the leading articles of export from the United States during the last year were as follows: Cotton, §290,708,898 breadstuffs, S127,0GS,092 provisions, 5138,170,038.

Since the new tariff law has been in operation, from October 0, 1890 to June 30,

1801,

inclusive, the total value of

the imports of merchandise was 8630,205,005. as compared with 8598,709,905, the value of such imports for the corresponding period of 1890, which shows an excess for the nine months of 1801 of 831,430,100. During the nine months sincc the new tariff went into effect of the total value of merchandise imported Into this country 40.00 per cent, eamc in free, while during the corresponding period of 1890 34.92 per cent was admitted free. In fact, It appears that tho value of merchandise imported free during the last nine months of the last fiscal year was greater by 830,000,000 than the value of such merchandise admitted during the whole of 1890, and nearly S40.000.000 greater than during the prior fiscal year ended June SO, 1889.

The exports of gold and silver during the fiscal year were 8108,720,288 imports, S30,212,234 excess of exports, S72,510,954. The exports of gold during the last fiscal year were 880,303,022 imports, 818,240,512 excess of imports, SC8,117,110.

The tr al number of immigrants for the year was 555,450, as against 451,210 during the fiscal year 1890, showing an increase during the last fiscal year of 104,277. The increase is from the following countries: Italy, 23,354 AustriaHungary, 14,801 Germany, 21,112 Russia, including Poland, 28,245.

Oppose the Decatur Memorial IIuU. WASHINGTON, July 29.—The Washington veterans will urge a proposition before the grand army encampment at Detroit for a national soldiers' monument in this city in opposition to the plan of a soldiers' memorial hall at Decatur, 111. The memorial hall Is said to be opposed by eastern posts on the ground that Decatur is too far west. A partial canvass of the eastern posts lias brought out the fact that they prefer a monument erected at Washington in memory of the private soldier rather than tho Decatur hall.

COUNCII,

ni.UFPS,

la., July 29.—Tues

day evening about 7 o'clock two clouds, one from the east and the other from the north, came together just a short distance east of this city. There was a terrific electrical display, accompanied by heavy thuudcr. Rain fell in the city about ton minutes. About an hour later the waters in Indian creek began to rise and came with terrific force. The stream rose 4 feet in less than thirty minutes and continued to rise rapidly until 0:30 p. in. and became a raging torrenL The whole western part of the city known as the bottoms was flooded. The water came up so fast that people were compelled to leave their homes. There are no less than 200 dwellings in water from 1 to 4 feet in depth. Foundations of many houses are wrecked. Morgan's furniture store on lower Hrcadway is ruined. Traffic between this city and Omaha is suspended. Husiness in the Northwestern yards is stopped, there being feet of water there. No news has been received from the country east of the city where the clouds burst, but the damage to crops and farm houses along the Indian creek ni'-st be enormous. The water is higher than the big flood of June, ISS.'S, but the heavy grading done the last few years lias prevented the destruction of many homes.

OHANI FOBKS, N. D., July 20.—A hailstorm extending over 000 acres passed a half mile north of the village of Ardock Tuesday afternoon, totally destroying crops of wheat, oats and barley, partly insured in the Alliance Hail Insurance Company.

AUSTIN, Nev., July 29.—This town was visited by a cloudburst Tuesday and great damage was done. Clouds had overhung the mountain tops for several days, and shortly after 2 o'clock p. m. steam-whistles gave the people warning. In three minutes the rushing water from tho summits of the mountains had reached Main street, coining wave over wave, carrying everything before it, including bowlders weighing over a ton. The city railway was torn from its bed, awnings were torn down and water mains were uprooted from 3 feet under ground. The majority of the business houses are filled with mud to a depth of 3 or -1 feet The wa. ter roared terrifically fts it came down the canyon. The streets present, the appearance of a volcanic eruption. The damage will reach 810,000. The water receded in three hours, but the indications are that another flood will come and the people are ready to flee to the hills at a moment's notice.

BURNED THEM OUT.

Russian Jews Tell Jlurrllile Stories of Their I'orftccutlon. BOSTON, Mass., July 20.—The Russian Jews who came here on the steamer Kansas and are detained at this port by the requirements of the new immigration law, in an interview through an interpreter told of the persecutions which drove them from Russia. The crowning piece was the burning of their hamlet. It was a little farming settlement containing eighteen houses with their burns and outbuildings. July 18 about midnight a dozen or so Russians came trooping down upon them and set fire to the whole settlement Fourteen of tho Jews were burned to death, whilo twenty were fearfully burned. Tho Jews armed themselves with stones and sticks and gave chase. The Russians were thoroughly surprised at this, beoause they were accustomed to have their own way with these people. One young man, whose mother had.bcen cruelly burned, took a crowbar and attacked three of the Russians. He killed two of them and struck the third one such a blow that he died in an hour.

"wrrn rs.

LONDON. July 20.—The foreign committee of the Columbian commission ended its stay in Knghmd Tuesday in a blaze of glory with a luncheon at the Savoy hotel. This banquet was attended by a company of distinguished guests such as is seldom collected beneath one roof. '1 he whole of the Savoy hotel was devoted to the use of the Americans and their friends and from the summit of the building waved an enormous American Hag. Tin'reception and dining-rooms were festooned with the British and American colors and were otherwise decorated with (lowers and plants.

Over eighty guests were assembled at the luncheon, including among the number the United States minister, lion. Robert Lincoln, Viscount Cross, Sir Richard Webster, Sir Edwin Aruoid, Mr. Calvin1 S. Briee, Sir John l'ender. Sir Charles Tupper, Mr. Robert S. McCormick and Sir Henry Wood. There were also prese.it Sii Phillip Cunlill'e Owen, Mr. James Dredge and all the members of the royal commission, as well as the United States consul general, John C. New, Maj. C. Post, Lieutenant Commander Emery, the naval attaches at London, all military attaches, the other attaches of the United States legation and a number of titled celebrities.

The dining-room was beautifully decorated for the occasion with flowers, plants and Hags. Ex-Con-gressman liutterwoith presided. Sir Richard Webster, the attorney general, sat on his right anil Mr. Lincoln and Viscount Cross were seated on the left The first toasts, "T!M President of the United States" and "The Queen." were drank with great enthusiasm. Mr. Ituttcrworth, Mr. F. W. Pock and Maj. Mo.ses p. Handy made speeches wluch were most diplomatically worded and well received. In substance they neatly returned thanks for the hospitality accorded them and clearly explained the objects and intentions of the Columbian fair.

Mr. Lincoln in a happy speech, which was heartily applauded, related in detail the cordial manner in which Lord Salisbury had received the American committee when the latter called upon the premier at the foreign office ami explained to him the progress being made toward laying the foundations for the fair and the hopes expressed as to seeing an exhibit worthy of Great Britain in Chicago in 1SU3. The United States minister also said that one of the stumblingblocks which had up to finite recently been in the way of foreign exhibitors had been removed when he was authorized to announce that any provisions in the United States alien act which could be constructed to operate against exhibitors in the United States would be removed. Foreign exhibitors, he added, were assured that the United States would use every endeavor to facilitate foreign exhibitors in being represented at the fair.

The most significant speech made during the banquet was that of Viscount Cross, secretary of state for 1 udia. As Viscount Cross is a cabinet officer and as he is honored with the friendship of the queen his utterance upon this occasion is said, beyond doubt, to have been authorized by the government The viscount said that he wished to assure America in the strongest terms Vhat England was heartily and entirely with the United States in this matter and that she would do anything possible to insure the best representation at the fair, not only of England but of India and the eoleuies. Viscount Cross also promised the American committee the heartiest cooperation of the government. The viscount's speech was enthusiastically applauded by all present

Sir Phillip Cunlifl'e Owen, "father of exhibitions," said that he was convinced that the Chicago exhibition would excel any other previous exhibition and therefore the Society of Arts had resolved to do its utmost to see that Great Britain was properly represented at the coming display.

Sir Richard Webster, the attorney general, in an admirable speech, also promised that England would assist to the utmost in making the affair success in every sense of the word.

As the company was dispersing Sir Phillip Cunlill'e Owen said: "The associated people of America cannot overestimate the importance of the presence and speech of Viscount Cross upon this occasion, it means that the queen and the government will throw the full weight of their influence in favor of the fair."

The foreign committee of the Columbian fair starts for Paris this morning. Thursday the commissioners will dine at the United States legation, nnd during their stay in the French capital they will be received by the chamber of commerce and will be banqueted in the Eiffel tower by the Franco-Ameri-can society and will attend a reception given in their honor by the directors of the Society of Arts and Trades.

END OF A SENSATIONAL CASE IN OHIO.

A Verdict of Murder In tlio Second Degree Returned A|f»lnst W. .1. ICIIlott for the Killing of Albert Oshorn nt Columhtis. O.

IMS NECK SPARED.

Coi.FMIII-s, O., July 29.—William ,T. Elliott, the former proprietor nnd editor of the Sunday Capital, who, with his brother, 1'. J. Elliott, killed Albert C. Osborn, a reporter of the Sunday World, and W. Hughes, a bystander, besides wounding a number of people, during a shooting affray on High street. in this city, on the afternoon of February 23, last, has been convicted of murder in Uie second degree. The trial has been in progress since May 11. The crime was the direct result of personal journalism. The verdict is no surprise, as the long siege of the twelve men in their room had given out the impression that there was some doubt as to the grade of the crime.

There was a great crowd in and around the courtroom in anticipation of the verdict As soon as the people saw the jury appear the crowd in the hall made a break for the criminal courtroom door. While all this was going on the great, crowd was as still as death, only an occasional "Sh-h!" admonishing some of the crowd to keep still being heard in the room. Before the verdict was announced Judge l'ugh cautioned the audience not to make any demonstration. lie said to them that they must make no sign or noise whatever. But when the verdict wns read they forgot the admonition of thecourt so far as making noise was concerned, for there was a perfect roar of conversation. and the court crier rapped for order till he could follow the judge's order and adjourn the court till next

Saturday. When the clerk began to read the verdict there was a highly sensational scene. When Mr. Mitchell read the "indictment for murder in the first degree," Mrs. p. J. Elliott thought that meant guilty of murder in the first degree. and partially raised up and made a suppressed scream. She then fell back into her chair. As the clerk reached the words "guilty of murder in the second degree" Miss Marony arose, gave vent to a wailing cry and and then fell back in a fainting fit. M:B. W. J. Elliott was very pale, but made no demonstration. Attorney Ernliart caught Miss Marony as she fell back, then started for some water in the back room. W. J. Elliott had his youngest boy in his lap, and when the verdict was Vicing read he covered the child's eyes and mouth so he would not see or make an outcry. When Miss Marony fainted the defendant turned to her and gave some instructions about what to do with her. Neither Mrs. W. J. Elliott nor the children made any demonstration at all. Miss Marony was taken into the judge's privjite room, where she soon revived and left with the remainder of Elliott's relatives.

As the verdict of the jury was read Eiliott became so "nraged that he iillcd the Grand Army of the Republic button from the lapel of his coat and threw it spitefully in the direction of the jury. The emblem went bounding from place to place and finally rested on a raised disk under Juror Aubert's chair. Mrs. Elliott did not shed a tear, but the excitement was so great that she probably could not realize at the time what the verdict meant. The children all began to cry when Miss Malony fainted. The scene was a most heartrending one and brought tears to the, eyes of Foreman Pegg, while the other members of the jury bowed their heads in mournful silence.

By the laws of Ohio murder in the second degree is punishable by life imprisonment, the court having no alternative in the matter. Notice of a motion for a new trial was made and so sentence was not passed. Court fixed noxt Saturday as the time for hearing arguments on the motion for a new trial.

Elliott's crime was the direct result of personal journalism. Osborn, one of the murdered men, was tho proprietor of the Sunday World, while the Elliotts published the Sunday Capital. Itoth sheets were of the sensational order and rivals in a business way. The editors gave a great deal of space in their respective sheets to personal abuse of each other, and this created an exceedingly bitter enmity between the Ellliotts and Osborn. While the streets were crowded with spectators of the Washington birthday parade the men met The Elliotts claimed that Osborn began hostilities, but this was not established, nor was it proved that he was even armed. W. J. Elliott opened fire upon Osborn with a revolver, whereupon the latter ran, W. J.-and Perry Elliott pursuing and firing at liim until he fell. Then W. J. Elliott, standing over him, shot him again so that he died. A bystander, Mr. Hughes, who had been superintendent of the asylum of imbccilcs, was shot iu tho eye aud killed by a

Public feeling has been high during the entire trial, and while the mass of the public, desired a conviction Elliott had many friends who sought to influence the case in his behalf.
