Pepper, who was sent to Kgypt to report upon the prospects for increased trade with that country, in a reoort to tha Bureau of Manufactures, says the Imports from Egypt reached nearly $10,000,000, and the average for seven years was JT,758,66", while in return direct shipments of goods from the Unit ed States rarely exceeds $1,000,000, and in some years have fallen below $500,000. The total foreign commerce of Egypt in 1895 was a little more than $100,000,000. Mr. Pepper said that it will In less than five years amount to $250,000,000, one-half of which will be imported goods. There Is a wide demand in that coun try, the report says, for machinery. Dealers in Alexandria and Cairo assert that manufacturers in the United States offer no encouragement for the introduc tion and sale of their goods, but there Is no complaint that American machinery is not equal in quality to that of Europe. Because of the hot country the use of agricultural machinery is encouraged, and there Is a good field for American manufactures in that direction, and eleo trie lighting and the use of electricity In other ways opens demand for materials for such purposes. The demand for auto mobiles and auto and motor cars In gen eral Is an increasing one. The majority of articles from all coun tries pay a uniform duty of 8 per cent ad valorem, and this uniform treatment to all countries, the report says, should make It comparatively easy for the Unit ed States to greatly increase its rates in Egypt. One thing necessary. It adds, is the establishment of a steamship line. TRIAL OF OUTLAWS BEGUN. Conspiracy to Murder Americans at Dava Resulted In One Death. MANILA. Sept. 16.

GL DAY IN MEXICO Anniversary of Birth of Repub lic Observed With: Joy. THOUSANDS ARE IN PARADE Peaceful Manner in Which Affair Is Carried Off, It Is Believed, Will Have a Good Effect on Disquieting Rumors. MONTEREY, Mex., Sept. 16.

This afternoon a grand mili tary pageant participated In by thous ands was formed and marched through the principal streets of the cify. There was not the slightest disorder and so peacefully was the affair carried out that the authorities say it will tend to coun teract the effects of the rumors of an anti-foreign feeling, which have been rife for some months past. No reports of trouble have been re ceived from any point in the State of Tamaulipas, Neuva Leon, or Coahuila, the three states traversed by the lines of the merged railroad systems. MEXICANS CHEER ROOSEVELT Name Is Linked With That of Diaz In Speech at San Luis Potosi. MEXICO CITY, Sept. 16. The national holiday in celebration of the anniversary of the independence of Mexico was ob served In a most enthusiastic manner here today. The decorations were on a more elaborate scale than heretofore and large crowds were congregated in the parks to listen to the band concerts, and those who participated In the grand civic parade numbered several thousand. The parade was three hours in passing a given point where It was reviewed by President Diaz. Vice-President Corral, members of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, the diplomatic corps and promi nent citizens. President Diaz opened Congress and de livered his annual message. The utmost tranquillity prevailed in this city, not a single arrest having been made. The sa loons have all been closed since yester day at noon, a precaution taken by the munlplcal authorities to circumvent any possibility of trouble. Reports from all points throughout the country. Including the cities of Saltillo, San Luis Potosi, Tampico, Torreon and hundreds of other towns, show that not the slightest disturbance marred the cele bration. Patriotic speeches were on the programme In the majority of the towns and cities, platforms having been erected In most Instances on the main plaza or In front of the municipal buildings. A most noteworthy celebration of the day occurred at San Luis Potosi, where one of the speakers referred to President Roosevelt and spoke of the binding friendship existing between the two coun tries and especially referred to the part played by the President of the sister Re public In bringing about peace between Honduras, Guatemala and Salvador dur ing their recent trouble. Upon conclud ing his speech the people present burst out in a mighty roar of "vivas" for Presidents Roosevelt .and Diaz. The demonstration was perhaps the first in the history of the country made in favor of a foreign President. San Luis Potosi has a good-sized Amer ican colony, and the good feeling dli nlavert bv the citizens of Mexico on their holiday toward the Americans and their President Is considered as one ot ine best indications of the lack of any anti foreign feeling.

The long discussed question of an inter national dam, in order to insure an equit able distribution of water between farm ers of the Rio Grande has taken satis factory form In a treaty signed at Wash ington. This treaty will be submitted to the Mexican Senators for ratification. The President mentioned the recent revo lution in Guatemala and says that strict neutrality was enforced. The President merely mentioned the Pan-American Conference and said that It was to be hoped its resolutions would produce a good effect. Respecting the labor riot at Cananea In June, the President said It began as a labor movement, degenerating quickly into grave perturbation of public order. Fortunately it was quickly suppressed, thus avoiding what might have been serious consequences. The President also took up the recent labor strikes, principally that which oc curred on the Mexican Central Railway. The strike was limited to the men leaving their work In the shops with a view to obtaining certain concessions from the company. As they were clearly In their right, the authorities respected it and an official effort was used In preventing any breach of peace. The executive ex pects on the part of both capitalists and working men regard for each other's rights. Sanitary precautions against yellow fever continue. The railways now have a total extension of 21,611 kilometers. The finances of the nation are In a most satisfactory condition. The total revenues of the federation in the fiscal year were more than $101,000,000. There will be a substantial surplus when accounts are made up to be applied to port work at Salina Cruz and Coatzacoalcos. The President notes with satisfaction the entire success of the gold standard. There has been coined and Is now in cir culation gold money to the value of H3, 000.000, while the monetary commission still has gold on hand to the amount of J16.000.000 yet to be coined. The gold standard has been attained without any sacrifices having been needed on the part of the nation. In line of material progress the results achieved are amply demonstrated by statistics and show conclusively an aston ishing movement on every line of busi ness activity confirming the belief that the country has fully entered on a bril liant period of progress.

Sept. 16. It is general ly understood that one of the principal objects of the Finance Minister Laman tour's trip to Europe Is to bring about the acquisition of the Mexican Central Railroad by the Mexican government and this supposition Is strengthened to a con siderable extent by the fact that Vice President Richards, of the Mexican Cen tral, has also gone to Paris. The acquisition of the railroad Is a thing which would mean great political significance, as it is. believed that it Is the only way the road can be regulated in order to avoid discrimination in the matter of rates.

TWO-CENT FARES IN EAST Western Governors Say Population Is Too Sparse in Their Territory. HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 16. S. M. Williams, secretary of the Pennsylvania State Board of Trade, today made pub lic copies of letters received from the Governors of several states on the movement to obtain uniform legislation throughout the United States for a 2 cent maximum fare on all steam rail roads. A number of the Governors are personally favorable to a 2-cent fare, and, in a few Instances, they tell of the movements in their states to obtain the passage of such legislation In the next session of the Legislature. The Governors of some of the West ern States say that because of the sparsely-oettled condition of their states the time is not yet ripe for a radical reduction of fares, but that such a reform will come about when the pupulation increases to give the business to Justify a. cut. The Western Governors express their approval of the movement so far as it applies to the thickly-populated states of the East.
