THE INDIANAPOLIS JOUIINAL, MONDAY, MAItCH 18, 1001.

A plea for K-nierey is hardly serious coming from a power who.-e tr..j.r J. ist .-Ummer were guilty of reprHa!- upon th- Chinese .-carcely less ferocious than the arts of the Uoxcrs themselves. Russia's action Is only explicable as the fnllfilment of a private compact with IA Hung 'hang to throw the enc rt overboard in return for concessions securing her separate interests." Dr. Morrison proceeds to protest energetically against any further sacrilices of their Interest on the part of the powers to secure an outward union of action, lie think that oven France can hardly follow her ally In this instance. Commenting upin the Manchurlun convention as giving Russia a privileged position at Ktishgar anil Yarkand, he says: "Russian railway enterprise. in China moan military occupation, ami Russia, once installed in Chinese Turkestan, will turn the whole position which Great Rrltain has toiled to rentier impregnable on the northwest frontier of India." In the course of a later telegram. Dr. Morrison says: "Chinese ofücials say they have been informed from St. Petersburg that Russia abandons her claims to exclusive rights in Mongolia and Turkestan, and consents to modify the stringency of her control of the civil administration of Manchuria, agreeing that the convention shall be published as soon as it is signed in St. Petersburg a fortnight hence. This is the first check inflicted upon Russian diplomacy in China since Lord Salisbury was cajoled into the .withdrawal of the British troops from Port Arthur in ISO, and it cannot fail profoundly to modify the situation by convincing tho Chinese that there still exist international combinations capable of maintaining the equilibrium of the far East."

Power of Mind Over Matter. Detroit Free Press. When a man is well established socially and financially, if he has a wholesome mind, he rather enoys telling about times and experiences when luck was rfot all coming his way. "Yes. gentlemen." admitted one of this class of citizens to a party of friends the other day. "I prevented one of the biggest riots In that old Ohio town of mine that could be brewed by angry men and women. They were armed with all kinds of weapons, had a rope, and meant grim business." "And you. all alone, cheeked them?" "Precisely, and I'll just state in passing that no one military company in the State could have accomplished the result. I was mayor of the town. The Common Council passed an ordinance under whieh all the manufacturing institutions in the place must cut the time of their employes to eight hours a day without a reduction n pay. They h ul no more legal right to do this than to say that the laboring citizens should have full pay for doing nothing, so 1 promptly vetoed the measure. "That's wlure the riot came in. An anvil was fired of! on the common to collect a crowd, inflammatory speeches were made, the women urged the men on and they were marching clamorously to my house to wreck It and make me the principal in 1 'necktie party,' when a couple of friendrr rushed la to warn me that I must run for it. " 'Not I.' was my reply. 'I can quell this uprising and prevent this disgrace to ur beautiful city. I'm not the manner of natN to stand meekly by while my house is battered down, and I. as ehlof magistrate, am swung from a limb. They expostulated In vain. When the howling mob appeared I stepped boldly out upon the veranda, raised my hand to secure silence ami said: " 'Ladies and gentlemen, I am convinced of the error of my ways. 1 shall withdraw that veto the first thing In the morning." It worked like masie; grand triumph of mind over brute passion, or something of that sort. I could have beer, mayor for life down there had I wanted to." cv Word Accdcd. Brooklyn Eagle. A new word Is needed for people who pav for rooms and food in hotels. The term "guests" Is ridiculous. They are customers. They are purchasers. They are buyers. But they arc not guests, for guests do not pay for hospitality; they are asked to do to hosts the honor of accepting it at I their hands.

EXPORTS ARE GROWING

MAY TOt'CII Tili; IllI.MO AM) A HALF MARK THIS YEAR. Shipment Abroad Alto Continue to Show a Large Eccm Over Value of Article Imported. special to tho Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, March 17. Exports from the United States continue to Increase, and the fiscal year of seems destined not only to break all records, but perhaps touch the bllllon-and-a-half-dollar line. For the twelve months ending with February the total is $l,4iK).19I.W5, and for the eight months of the fiscal year Is $1,015,1ST.37I. Thus the record presented by the February statement of the Treasury Bureau of Statistics at least suggests a billion and a half record for the fiscal year li01, since the twelve months ending with February are less than $10,0u0,000 below that sum, and the eight months of the fiscal year are $13,000,000 above the proportion which eight months of the twelve included in the fiscal year would be called upon to furnish of a $1,500,000,000 total. No eight months period in the history of our export trade shows as large a total of exports as the eight months ending with February, 1901. The total exports during that period are, as above indicated, $1,015,1S3.C74. against $1)13,473,471 in the corresponding months of last year, and $2,60ö,S73 in eight months of the fiscal year 1SD6, having thus increased more than 50 per cent in live years. The favorable balance )f trade, or excess of exports over imports, shows an even greater increase, being $492.224,004 for the eight months ending with February, against $:W4,21D,SD7 in the same months of the preceding fiscal year, and $01,472,040 in eight months of the fiscal year ISlkJ. No eight months period in the history of our export trade has shown as large exports or as large an excess of exports over imports as that ending with February, 1901, and no twelve months ieriod ending with February .shows as large exports or as large an excess of exports over imports as does the twelve months period ending with February, 1901. On the import side the figures are also satisfactory. Tita importsof February, 1901. aro nearly $ö,000.0oa less than those of February, I'M), and those for the eight months ending with February are $32,000,000 below those of the corresponding months of the preceding year, while those of the twelve months ending with February 1901, are also slightly below the twelve months ending with February, 1900. The total Imports in the eight months ending with February were $322,9G0.3S0. against $055.253,574 in the eight month? of the preceding fiscal year, and $541.194.833 in tho eight months ending with February, ls9t. Thus the imports of the eight months period show in the five years decrease of about $20,000,000. while the exports show an increase 01 over $400,000,000, comparing the eight months ending with February, 1901, with the eight months ending with February, AnMtrla May Lock Her Doorx.

The cruiser opened fire with machine guns as soon as she got within range of the pirates' junk and bore down so swiftly that only eleven out of the forty were left alive when the cruiser towed the junk into Ning-Po. where the live pirates were delivered to the governor for punishment. The governor of Ning-Po gave the officers and crew of the cruiser a handsome present of cattle and fresh vegetables. Six of the "pirates wer executed the next day and the others were to be beheaded later. GENERAL P0REIGN NEWS.

DEMOCRATIC IMPERIALISM. The Arbitrary Dlf rnnclilseiucnt the Electorate In Maryland. of In the Maryland Senate, on Thursday, the Democrats forced the passage of a disfranchisement law b declaring cloture after two of the eleven Republicans had spoken, in the face of the Senate rule which provides that the previous question shall' not be moved until each senator who wishes to speak on a question shall have spoken at least once. One of the Republicans who spoke, Mr. Putzell, arraigned the Democratic majority in the following words: "Now that the wrinkles on the ball have been all smoothed over by the masm ter hand," he began, "and the order has come forth that it must be passed, I suppose the measure will pass this body. I don't believe, however, that in following this course or maintaining such party allegiance that you will find you have acted wisely, when you can't help but know that It means your political death. The question in the last campaign was raised with reference to Imperialism, the claim was made that imperialism leads to tyranny and tyranny to bosslsm. Could there be a more perfect illustration of imperialism than In the adoption of this unfair and unjust bill? This measure will disfranchise thousands of citizens, and It was intended to do so. This bribery feature is only a subterfuge and a sham. We showed them how they could prevent bribery if they so wished, by adopting the party emblem amendment, but no, they didn't want it to contain a feature which would permit the illiterate to walk into the booth and Independently cast his vote." The Baltimore Herald comments on the passage of the bill as follows: "The party lash cracked again nnd the fourteen Democratic senators at Annapoiis yesterday closed their eyes to the Constitution and voted to take away from the people of Maryland what the people have given themselves the right of every man to vote. The purpose of the election bill Is well defined and well understood by both parties, as well as by the people that are not particularly interested in the wlfare of either. The bill which the Governor will sign, a bill framed In secret under Mr. Gorman's elirection and shamelessly forced through an inexcusable extra session of the Legislature, hopes to make it impossible for any man to vote who cannot read, unless, perhaps, he be a Gorman Democrat. "It Is an attempt to alter the Constitution of the people of Maryland without consulting the people. No specious defense based on protection from negro domination or illiteracy can hide this fact. "Several States have established suffrage qualifications; the question of a universal or a limited suffrage is a legitimate one. But what State Legislature ever dared before to limit the rights of the people without submitting its plans to a popular vote? "The indignation aroused throughout the State at the boss rule at Annapolis will grow, month by month, until November furnishes the people an opportunity to be heard. There is no trick in the Gorman ballot law that will stand against the sentiment for honest election and the constitutional right to vote." HOPES AS PI HE ESCAPES. They Are a Very I'linnfc Hellnnce for Such 1'ncs. New Orleans Times Democrat. "Strange how people pin their faith .o rope as a means ot escape from burning buildings," remarked an officer of tho lire department. "Hundreds of traveling men tarry a coil of light rerpe habitually in one ol their trunks, and feel as safe on the upper floors of hotels they know are mere death traps. A drummer of my acquaintonce who weighs fully 2uu pounds, and who has taken no exercise whatever for the last twenty years, has a sample case with a special compartment, containing fifty yards of silk life line, extremely light and strong. 'Do you really think you could slide down on that !n case of tire? I asked 'him, when he showed me the arrangement. 'Why not?' he replied, 'It's been tested to three times my weight. The only difficulty that c-ccurred to him was the breaking of the lines. That he would have no trouble banging to it on tho way down he took for granted. Now, as a matter of fact," continued the speaker, "a rope is the very worst fire escape imaginable. To begin with, a moment's reflection will show you that the chances are two to one that it will catch on fire and be destroyed before It can be used. The windows of nearly all buildings are arranged in straight vertical lines ono directly above the other and a rope thrown out of an upper story would recessarily cross every casement on thway down. The probabilities are that sonic or all of them would be spouting flame, and the rope would last about as long r.s a piece ot pack-thread. Eut, assuming the coast to be clear, a rope would be almost useless to anybody but a trained gymnast. The average man would find it physically impossible to let himself down hand over hand, and, if he attempted to slide, his palms would bo Hayed, and he would let go voluntarily before he went thirty feet. Gloves or clothes are of no advantage, as we have proven by tests in th-? e'epartment. If they are thick enough to prevent abrasion they will nl30 prevent one l-om obtaining sufficient purchase to eui. the descent. The onl thing of any value In that lespect is a handkerchief loopfti lcosely about the rope and then tied firmly by both ends to the writ. The loop wiil Und slightly in tho descent and act as ,i brake That Is something, by the way. that has never been in print, and It is? well worth rememb ring. (Jetting a IuUmi cr two of the rope around one's leg is of rio U!f whatever, unless somebody has bold e-f the lower end and is keeping it taut. Altogether the rope escape is decision and a snare, and I wish the fact were generally understood, because the confidence that is reposed in it n:ak:s people eareless of other and proper precautions. " WHAT MOEY EAH3S. lledtict ion In Income Cnuftc Hein refitment in Cheaper Secnrltle. W. G. Nicholas, In New York Telegraph. Hankers and many of the stronger commission houses whieh have been a long time in business and have extensive clienteles, report an unending absorption of dividend stocks and securities whose earnings give promise of large returns In the no distant future. This feature is accounted for on tne theory that holders of gilt-edged low-interest-bearing bonds are shifting their Inestments into cheaper stocks in the hope of Increasing their Income.

KDLLN'AFOLB struggle and for come time thereafter 6 per cent, was the basis for conservative investment. Then it was 5 per cent., then 4 per cent., and now still another chango from 4 per cent, to 3 per cent, and per cent, is going on. The principal in not impaired now, but its earning power has been reduced, and the Jln,ow which a few years ago produced an annual Income of 1.i0, now only yields J3,uuo to $3,5ou on the same class of investment. "This reduction in Income is regarded as a hardship, and the class of investors I refer to rebel against It. The only escape open for them is to get out of their 3 per cent, and 4 per cnt. securities and reinest the money in something not quite so good, but which promise better returns. There is an enormous amount of this kind ot money, and it is going from high-class bonds and stocks into securities having a fcpeculativc element. "Therein is found the explanation of the underlying buoyancy of the general market. Inexperienced persons and those in whom the gambling instinct is strong do not always Invest wisely, and in consequence we see phenomenal rises Ir. many stocks which are elecidedly unsafe, if net absolutely worthless. The only way th foolish can be taught discretion is in tha school of hard experience, and es the bankers and brokers of Wall Ftreet are not m the guardianship business there would appear to be no way of protecting the guileless from losses which they are invltin at this time. "The low-interest-bearing securities whlcli are released in this process of shifting from one class of investments to another are being in turn absorbed by the very rieij people, by savings banks, insurance companies and truste-es, and prices continue very high. The supply of choice bonds and stocks appears to be unequal to the demand, no matter how great the mass may be at times. The drift of the interest ratu for permanent investments seems to be gradually growing lower." Tile foundations of the stock market are so solid that fluctuations in the minor securities are really of small consequence, although occupying for the time Iw-ing tha largest share of attention. The great Investing public is putting Its money inlj standard dividend-paying stocks, and giving no count to the operations of the peoplo who speculate on surface Indications and the daily flood of tips that go the rounds.

Mary Summons, of No. 1HJ liriscoe street, is a sufferer, before whom is the prospect, held out by physicians, that she may never be able to use the hand again. The heretofore useful member is paralyzed and as if dead to Its. owner. The girl, who is only sixteen years old, has been employed in a Oermantown ice cream saloon as a waitress. I 'art of her duty has bet n to pack tin bricks and r.ther molds with ice cream. Warning of the approach of the paralysis in the rlht hand came In the form of pains, which, at lirst. were attributed to a sort of rheumatism that followed the constant handling of the tins when made cold by the ice cream i:iMIe. The pain lrame so severe on Monduy that the girl had to give up work, and soon she was unable to ue the hand at all.
