Wasiu.votox, Sept. ft-The long-expected und much-anticipated decision of Mr. It II. Howler, comptroller of the treasury, iu the sugar lounty cases was made public ye-sferday afternoon. As predicted in the United Treis illspatches ten days ago, the comptroller refers the whole matter to the court of claims for adjudication. The particular case decided was the claim of the Oxnard licet Sugar Co. of Nebraska for the payment of a portion of the sugar bounty appropriated in the sundry civil hill passed by the last cougre-s. The amount involved in this case was only 511.72. n. beinir the

first claim allowed by the commissioner of internal revenue under an

appropriation of to pay the

producers of Wet sorghum or cane

sugar previous to the iatli of August,

94, when the susrar bounty nrovi-

siuiis u me .Mciviniey taw was repealed. Hut the decision, of course,

involves the constitutionality of all sugar bounties. The comptroller first asserts his jurisdiction over the matter and his rights to refuse payment of these

oouniieson tue ground ot the unconstitutionality of the appropriation. He quotes the decision of the court of J appeals of the District of Columbia in

a suit brought before them by tiie Miles Plant Manufacturing Co., of Louisiana, for a mandamus to compel the secretary of the treasury and the commissioner of internal revenue to pay the sugar bounties provided for by the McKinley law, and holds in substance that that court having decided all such bounties to be unconstitutional, its decision was one of which he was bound to take cognizance. "The papers in the present case will

there fore be returned to the auditor for transmission by him. through the secretary of the treasury, to the court of claims, under section 102. for the rendition of a judgment, as required by the provision of section 1004 of the Revised Statutes, in onier that there may be furnished a precedent for the future action of the executive department iu the adjustment of the class of cases involved in these sugar bounties."

One of the features of the complete returns of Atuer.ean export trade for the ilcai year which should attract attention is the large proportion of exports of iimriufnetured articles. The mouth of June, which closed the year, showed that manufactures constituted ."M.34 percent, of the entire exports for the month, and were valued at SPi.s40.7V. The tlgurs for the entire year are significant, and their relation to the entire volume of Amercan exports for a series of years can best be judged by the following table: Ttttii Rjtpottt MttiuiimturfrA

the period of trrentest depression, and the presumption might have been that the restoration of business activity would increase prices and reduce export. This may have been the fact to some extent in the volume of exports, but the money received has been substantially the same, which would indicate u larger cash return to American manufacturers for a .smaller output of labor and capital than in Is'JJ. The fact that the iigures for Js95 are higher than for any year prior to ls!4, including several years of prosperity, would seem to indicate that the market which has been created for American manufactures from time to time has been successfully maintained.

Inf Anjtliluc la War. Imuanapoi.is, Ind., Sept- .V A terrific downpour of rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, struck this city shortly after midnight, and continued until 7 a. m. The rainfall surpassed anything known here in years. The south side is practically cut off; the South Illinois street tunnel and all of the streets over which the electric lines pass being Hooded and impassable. The telephone otlice was burned out by lightning and great damage was done everywhere. Incoming trains were delayed and several washouts are reported. A singular feature of the flood and rain Is that the streets are stretvn with thousands of dead birds, as many as 100 being counted in one square. The districLs along- Pogue's run, a ditch running through the heart of the city, are Hooded, and many persons have been driven from their homes.

London, Sept. 6. A Paris dispatch furnished to the Globe by a neys agency says that a bold attempt was made yesterday to explode a bomb in Rothschilds' bank in the Hue Lafitte. While the business of the day was at its height a man walked into the bank carrying under his arm a bomb, to which was attached a lighted fuse. One of the detectives employed in the bank standing near, sprang upon the man, seized the bomb and extinguished the fuse in time to prevent an explosion. The would-be bombthrower was arrested and taken to the police station. This attempt to blow up the Rothschilds' banking establishment, taken in connection with the recent sending of an infernal machine through the mails to the office of Haron Alphonse de Rothschild, signifies a persistent purpo.se on the part of the anarchistic element to intlict injury upon the heads and employes of the Rothschilds house. It will be remembered that Ilaron de Rothschild' secretary, M. Jacobowsky, was terribly injured by the explosion of the Infernal machine sent

to his employer's office while attempting to open the parcel in the absence of Haron de Rothschilds.

The falling off in the value

riages and car appears to be due to a demand for freight cars rather than I passenger coaches, as the deeline in j the number exported is much less than !

the decline in value. The decline in cotton goods is chietly in the exports to Rrilish North America. which dropped from S'.7,i37 to 83s7,100: and to China, from 52.s4G.220 to $1.703,023. There is an increase in the the quantity of exports of cotton cloth to Great Rritain and to Germany, but the values show a slight falling off. The significant increase in scientific and electrical apparatus, in lire arms and in machinery, may be regarded as indicating the channels along which American enterprise can successfully move, as these articles are novelties in man;. cases and have the benefit in a peculiar degree of American skill and j inventive genius.

The return of prosperity, with increased wages and increased prices, strikes this Philadelphia paper with the force and cutting power of a twoedged sword.

of producing plants, the increase of wages affcetinjr three-quarters of a million workmen, have deprived them of their specious tariff arguments and promise to make their tariff issue worthless as a political asset Itut if this forward movement in business and manufactures could be checked by fresh tariff agitation, that issue might bo revived for use in the campaign next year. There is too much prosperity now for the republican party. Would these McKinley organs like to see this prosperity displaced by adversity and depression? This great upward movement not only lays their tariff issue on the shelf, but it also convicts them of Ignorance or misrepresentation. Unless depression and hard times shall coino again, the people will regard them as false prophets, deceptive advisers and misleading guides. What did Senator Lcxow, one of the foremost republicans of this state, say a few days ago in his Tribune interview? "This matter of reported increase of wages In various directions Is a temporary thing. If It Is otherwise, we are nil wrong and have been in the wrong nil tne time." Mr. I i2xow and, other more discreet republicans who are in agreement with him do not Hko to have It shown to the people by current events that they "are all wrong" about the tariff and "have been in the wrong all the time."

Fr- Wool Unit tlonp. The protectionists prophesied that free wcol would brinir ruin to American sheep owners, and that the reduction of duties on woolen goods would

i wreck one of the trreatestof our indus

tries. This conviction was so firmly ; fixed in the minds of the calamity

1 prophets that they made no allowance ; for a possible failure of their predic- ! Hon. Consequently the increase in the ' price of wool since the removal of the ! duty and the remarkable activity in the manufacture of woolen goods have fairly bewildered them. In their confusion they have disregarded facts, j and have frantically persisted that the ' reported activity in the woolen indus

try does not exist Ifut now there comes an authoritative statement of the situation the truth of which the

doubters cannot deny. Somebody recently asked the editor of the American Wool and Cotton Reporter to estimate the quantity of woolen machinery In operation now, and also "at the most favorable time hitherto." In reply to this inquirer the editor of the Reporter imparted the following information:

J "It is estimated that in .May, 1892, there were in operation 7,7st sets of cards, woolen and worsted; 71,000 woolen and worsted looms, and 43,001 knitting machines. About June I, 1S95, there were in operation i,4.0 sets of cards, woolen and worsted; 77,100 looms on woolen and worsted goods, and (HAW knitting machines; this probably must be increased at date in every particular, as there is a most imposing list of enlargements of woolen mills and installations of new machinery since January 1, 1S!.", exclusive of thirty-eight brand new enterprises (woolen mills) and a large number of new knitting plants."

The significance of these figures is not to be mistaken by any reader of intelligence. Add to this proof of activity the general increase in wages during the past two months, and it will bo seen how utterly the dismal predictions of the protectionists hax-e failed of realization. Philadelphia Record. VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS. lew to Kitead Our Kiport Trade American Manufacture. In discussing the important question of rinding foreign markets for American manufactured goods, the trade journal, Shoe and Leather Facts, makes, in its current issue, some valuable suggestions. It says: "While little success is likely to attend un attempt to obtain a footing In foreign markets by seeking to force the goods upon the Inhabitants, sufficient has been learned to demonstrate that where the ptoper effort is made to ascertain the peculiarities of the trade and cater to It, the results are highly satisfactory. Much of the success of the English and German manufacturers in extending their foreign trade has been owing to their readiness to meet even the most trifling conditions which buyers impose as to the style and character of the goods desired." Americans arc apt to argue that if foreigners are not satisfied with our goods It is because they are lacking In good judgment a method of argument which, says the trade journal, "may be good logic, but is poor business policy." The necessities of the case demand that American manufacturers now spare no pains to increase their export trade, adapting thl products to the tastes and harmless whims of foreign consumers. N. Y.
