SHOT BY UNIONISTS.
TllilTIC l-'KOM THE WEST.
One ,Mnn Serlonsly- Wnnndfd and Trro Said to Have Keen Accidentally lilt.
CLKVELAND, O., May 11. As the culmination of a bitter struggle between the 'Longshoremen's Union and the line agents of this tity, that has boon on since early spring, three 'longshoremen to-night assaulud and shot one man. Frank Lavigne, in the eye, inflicting a serious wound. Two other men, it is said, were hit by flying bullets. Tho trouble grew out of the refusal ot the line agents to treat with the 'Longshoremen's Union, over the unloading of vessels at this port. The work has been given to contractors and the contractors have hired men other than the regular "longshoremen. This has aroused the bitter antagonism of the latter. The injured man. with several others, were engaged in unloading the steamer Mahoning, when three 'longshoremen came upon the dock and began shooting. Lavigne was hit in the eye. His fellow-workmen got away without injury. Rut one arrest was made. The 'longshoremen, it is said, are determined to hamper the employment of nonunion labor as much as possible, and further trouble is anticipated. ARREST OF A DOCTOR.
Thoman I. Eld ridge Charged with Conspiring to Kill Ills Wife.
PHILADELPHIA, May ll.-Dr. Thomas E. Eldi'ldfce. was arrested to-day, charged with conspiracy to kill his wife. Several days ago the police were notllied by Paul Schrceder. a private detective, that he had been employed by Dr. Kldridge to secure two lette. ; from Eldridge's wife, who had left him. Schnieder asserted that the doctor wanted him. to inject morphine into Mrs. Eldridge. and if he was unable to secure the letters by that means, Eldridge said he would furnish the detective wuh a stock of dynamite to blow up the house in which Mrs. Eldridge resided.
FOREIGN MISCELLANY.
A dispatch from Rarcelona announces that crder hrs been restored, and that many strikers have resumed work on the old terms, and that those arrested have been released trom custody. At a general meeting of the Royal Yacht Squadron in London yesterday the Marquis ot Ormonde was elected commodore, hi succession to King Edward. The Duke of Leeds was elected vice commod.ore. It is announced that Eugene Zimmerman has offered the creuitors of the Duke of Manchestir, his son-in-law, ten shillings on the pound, but that a faction of the creditors is determined to exact a full settlement. The British privy council has granted the attorney general of. Manitoba leave to apital from the decision of the King's Pencil Ccurt of Manitoba in ruling that the promciai legislature has no power to pass a liquor act. The Netherlands government has Introduced a bill in Parliament for the reclaiming of 113,tjt' acres from the Zuyder Zee at an estimated cost of W.oju.ü) llorins. The scheme will add 2,CX!0 iiorins to the buget annually lor the next fifty years. The Odelsthing (the lower house of the Norwegian Parliament) yesterday adopted, by a vote of AS to 3o, a bill introducing universal communal male suffrage, and by Qj to 17 votes adopted a bill providing communal suffrage lor women paying taxes cr. an income of at least 300 crowns. The Duke and Duchesr. of Marlborough took an active and conspicuous part in tlie Jiimrose League meetings last week, alv.as appearing together, as if to emph-t-f.ize there was no truth in the recent stories of a serious misunderstanding between them. At the reception which Mrs. P.ischoffsheim gave to the leigue Thursday evening, among the prominent people ground about the hostess were the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough. Count Roni de Castellane suffered from intestinal trouble the past week. Although his condition is not regarded as serious, he has been ordered to take complete rest and his social engagements have been postponed. His case is now diagnosed as tlv commencement of appendicitis, but he is not thought to be in danger. Inquiry at his Pome last night in the Avenue du Rois de
Boulogne, Paris, elicited the information that his condition was Improved. Th ladies of the late Queen Victoria's court, after anxious waiting, have learned that they are to receive pensions, although minute ones. Many of these former members of the rojal household, though of high lineage, have meager fortunes, and the maids of honor, etc., found their positions
richer in honor than in profit. The excuse
tor the meagerness of the pensions is th
inadequacy of the provisions for the royal
txnenscs. During the last few years tjueen
Victoria was unable to make the civil list meet the ofheial expenditures, and was
oblitred to draw on her private fortune
King Edward now has to keep up Ra!rr.oral Cai-tle nnd Osborne House, costing

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. May 10. "What ha
caused so much produce, merchandise and specie of the United States to go out of tincountry without the ordinary corresponding;
return?" is. a question recently propoundeci
to the Treasury Bureau of Statistics by Mr. Dadabahai Noaroji, an Indian gentleman residing in London. Mr. Noaroji in his inquiry addressed to the Bureau ol
Statistics quote tho recent figures showins a large excess of exports of merchandise and specie ovet the net imports of merchandise and specie, and says: "In India a heavy net excess always takes place because the system of government of India compels a heavy tribute, i. c, compels a large drain of the produce of India to England without any material return of merchandise or .pecie. But America is not
vnder such a draining system of an alien foreign government; and I therefore desire
to know the causes, and their extents, of such heavy net excess of exports of Amer
ica's wealth or produce, and how this large
'balance of trade' is expected to be set-tied."
Tho following is an extract from the re
ply of tha chief of the Bureau of Statis
tics: "During tho period immediately fol
lowing our civil war great internal devel
opment of our railways and manufacturing
occurred. Much foreign capital was brought
into the United States for use in this de
velopment, and during that time and in subsequent years railroad and other securities were largely marketed abroad. The
commercial results of this development of railways and manufacturing establishments, including the opening of new fields of production, was an enormous increase in the exportation and a disposition to
relatively decrease the importations, because tho development of manufacturing was making it practicable to produce at home from our own materials much which was formerly brought In from abroad. Thus
the great business development of the years 150 to 1:0 had a tendency to stimulate production and exportations, but discouraged importation, and as a consequence exports exceeded imports in a constantly Increasing ratio. The fact, however, that lcrge sums had been borrowed abroad for
the internal developments above alluded
to required payments of large sums for the
annual Interest charges, and thus absorbed
a part of the proceeds of the surplus ex pcrts. The earnings of foreign capital in
vested In great enterprises In this country,
other than that obtained by the sale of
bonds or by direct loans, also require con
Mderablc sums for the payment of the dividends and profits of the enterprises in which it was invested. The further fact
that internal commerce and investments in Internal developments were extremely profitable, reduced and temporarily suspended shipbuilding in the United States, and as a conseeiuence the increasing traffic came to
be carried more and more in toreign snips.
pnd the payment of the freights thereon,
especially the freißhts upon imports, again absorbed a large additional amount of the
proceeds of the excess of exports.
"Another factor to be considered Is that
of the money expended by Americans trav
eling abroad, who usually take tneir tunas
in the form of letters of credit, and draw from time to time for sucn sums as they
reouire. and thi. of course, proves an oft
ec-t to that extent against the balance which
would otherwise be returned to the ignited
States in the form of cash. ,
FOUR GREAT FACTORS. "Until recently these four great factors:
(1) Tho payment of interest on American
securities held abroad, (2) the payment of earnings of foreign capital invested in business enterprises In the United States. yZ) the payment of foreign freights carried In foreign vessels, especially freights on goods
imported into the United States, and (4) the expenditures of Americans traveling abroad, have been considered the chief
cause of the fact that the exports of merchandise so much exceeded the combined
imports of merchandise, specie and bullion.
Within the last two or three years, how
ever, three further factors have apparently been added: 1 Tho cancellation ot American indebtedness abroad, including a return
to the United States of the railroad and other securities thus held; (- the sale of
foreign securities In the United States, such
as the German. British and Russian securi
ties which were piaced upon the markets
here during the last year, and in most
cases quickly taken to the amount of probably $UM.f!iAW in the year, and (3) the
credits which now stand abroad In favor of our exporters, and which are permitted to so stand because better interest rates could thus be realized than by insisting upon their Immediate payment. "The sums of money represented by these various factors, which presumably about equal the excess of exports over imports, have been variously estimated, and up to the present time no means of obtaining more than estimates have ben devised. These estimates usually put the amount paid to foreign vessels as freights on Imports at about fcVO.Ooo.OOO; interest on and earnings of foreign capital, 575),000 to JiOQ.O.'O.uOO; money expended abroad by Americans, 173,000.000 to JlOO.OOO.OiX): American funds invested in foreign securities in lii0, about $10o.OK.000; and credits permitted to atand abroad in ltf9 and 13X, each $75.0f(X to röOO.OOO; to which must be added the amount of our foreign Indebtedness actually canceled by the return of securities, for which no definite estimate has, so far as I am aware, been made.

we do not produce a sufficient quantity to meet our own requirements. The fact that we are rapidly becoming a creditor instead of a debtor nation will reduce to a minimum and wipe out the annual balance for payment of interest on our securities held abroad, and finally for the liquidation of those securities, and to this extent the absorption of our favorable balance of trade will be rapidly reduced; while the present disposition to encourage the re-establishment of our shipping industry In a efficient volume to carry our growing commerce seems to justify the expectation that this drain upon our surplus may be at least somewhat reduced in the near future. Our foreign credits, as above alluded to, have increased largely dhring the last few years, and foreign obligations have been taken by investors in the United States in large sums, but it seems at least probable that two of the factors which absorbed a considerable share of the favorable balance, namely, the payment of interest and indebtedness abroad and payment of freights to foreign vessels, will within a comparatively short time be materially reduced, and thus require a settlement with specie and bullion of a larger proportion of the trade balance than has been the case in former years." . EXTANSIOX IX THE SOUTH.
Cause and Effect of the President's Speeches in Dixie. Kansas City Star. President McKinley' speeches increase in interest and importance as his tour through the South progresses. He has dropped somewhat the courteous and conciliatory generalities that characterized Ms Hrst addresses, and has gone into the questions of the hour with unexpected freedom. This change of policy doubtless has been due to the extraordinary welcome he has received at the hands of the Southern people, and more especially to the undisguised and even enthusiastic expressions of expansion sentiment upon several great occasions. In Memphis, one of the most vigorous rounds of applause came upon the President's indirect reference to the extension of the markets for Southern cotton. At Vickshurg the chief executive and his party
passed under an arch made of cotton bales, J a 1 1..... V.n1n tt n- V i r V Knpn V T,'rtr.l "Vt- 1
panslon." From that time forward the President did not hesitate to discuss thi subject openly and frankly, and his remarks at Vlcksburg, Jackson and New Orleans may be said to have been based main ly upon this topic. Everywhere there have been unmistakable evidencrs of expansion sentiment. In New Orleans the President was especially happy In his allusions to this question, using both the demanrig of the cotton raisers and the glory of th Ivouisiana purchase in his presentation of the case. A particularly interesting phase of the unanimous and hearty responses of the Southern people Is that they haye been given In spite of political argument against the i?ue an alignment that must he, and evidently is. regretted by every progressive man of those States. It should now be more apparent than ever
before that one of the greatest mistakes of the Democratic party in recent years was mde In tiklng a nosltlon against expansion. This error In Judgment was main-
lv due to the long observed, but wholly un
safe, rule of negation. If the Republican party had led off against expansion the Democratic leaders would have landed on
the right side of the Issue by automatic Impuls. Just as they took the wrong side after the Republican partv was committed to the rieht. The national Democracy never before tried the loyalty of the South as It
was tested on thi? issu. The great indus-

the isthmian canal, the outlook for the grower of cotton and the manufacturer of cotton goods will become as bright as industrial prospects can be made. William J. Stone, of Missouri, through whose maneuvers the silver Issue of 1JT waa crystallized as a dominant question, in national politics, did his best to redeem himself and his party a few years later. Just when the Philippine situation first became a political factor. At the Springfield convention he stood for the subordination of silver and the advancement of expansion. Had he succeeded entirely as to his own State, it is possible that Missouri a second time might have dictated the national issue of the Democratic party. However, there is no assurance that Mr. Rryan would have accepted the right side of this question, no matter, how it might have been presented to him.

London Special to Chicago Times-Record "King Kdward's new continental Carncon carriage returned to Paris yesterdav trom a trial trip to Calnis," eays the balfv Mail's correspondent. "In its present stat-3 there is not much on the outside to indicate that the coach is destined to carry the King r.I" Kngland. In appearance it Is much th. sime as an ordinary wagon-lit. though, of course, when finished the royal arms and other indications will differentiate It from nil other vehicles. While the old car used Ly the Prince of Wales and built In England, was of cream on a lake foundation, the new carriage is of varnished teak, of a try somber shade. Kin? Kdward's future car Is about a foot longer than the previous one. It rests on four wheels instead of six, and weighs about thirty-seven tons. "The royal compartments include two bedrooms cne for the King, another for the Queen two dressing rooms and a salon In th3 center. There are In addition two compirtments for the personal attendants. The carriage is liberally decorated with handsome wood carving and plush and le-ather trimmings. The ceilings are of artistic design throughout, painted in light colors, in two of the compartments thev are of embroidered silk. The carriage is fitted with Stone's system of electric lighting. All of the windows are provided with two blinds a dust blind and a silk on-. Fixed in the windows are double glasses to meet the requirements of winter. "No space is wasted. In nearly every room may be observed a varletv of practical and handy arrangements Intended to make the most of the accommodations. Tho carriage is heated with warm water, which can be generated in two ways by a coke fire or by steam from the engine. The doer at one end of the corridor permits communication with a dining or sleeninar car.
The King's coach is so fitted with brake appliances, etc.. that It can travl over any railway system on the continent provided with standard gauge track. The carriage has been In hand more than two years ut the works of the Compagnie Generale de Construction, at St. Denis. The royal coach 1. said to run very easily. As oon as certain changes have been made and trial trips given to the complete satisfaction of King Edward, his new continental carriage will be pronounced ready for Its royal passenger."
