OTOVN"R I 'pn-lnl Cable to tha fhlraeo Tribune, eopy r'.rht by the Trtbuna Company.) LONDON'. Dec. SI. The Christmas trace, so far as Internal rolltlcs "r eon cerned. tm exists. Most of the Cabi net Ministers havs left London and are lowly recovering from ths Gigantic fatigues of the general election. Premier Asquith. who has a certain scorn for the world of politicians, hides himself, as usual, in the wilds of Scot land; and Uoyd-Ocorge. mors genial and rfgarlous and always fond of a scamper on the continent. Is nursing a severs cold at Monte Carlo. Winston Churchill has enough to oc cupy him In the heavy tlda of disasters, especially In the Lancashire coal mine and In the widespread panic caused by the Russian murders in Houndsdltch. German War Scare Revived. Thus for the moment robbed of subjects of scute Interest at home, tha London Journals seek topics elsewhere, and Satan finds for their Idle hands and thoss or the German press some evil work to do In the revival of the Jingo recrimina tions. For Instance. England's strong Inter vention In Persia to prevent the Illicit gun-running and highway robbery elicits snorts from the Anglophone Berlin Jour nals that Kncland Is trying the same gams In Persia that France did in Mor occo. Tha Innocent observations of Lloyd Ceorgs that he has sufficient money from the taxi's to spend plenty of money In maintaining the English naval su premacy, produces a wild outburst from the professional German navy s carers. England herself pays little attention to "these professional ravings, but quietly eats plum pudding, goes to tne pan tomime snd now snd then wakes up to scream against tne unaesiraoie Arsenal Found In Houndsdltch. The Houndsdltch murders continue to be the main topic, largely owing to the discovery of a complete arsenal of the usual materials ot ine uomo-w... At first It was suggested that this pointed te a transfer of the headquar ters cf political Nihilism from St. Pe tersburg to London, but the more prob Me explanation Is that It all was part of a scheme of mere burglary by crimi nals snd daring experts. As to the coming Parliament, the swearing in starts on the last day of January. The fixing of so early a date Vs one of the many signs that the Min istry means business and still hopes to finish the struggle over the veto before the coronation. Chancellor Lloyd-George, in an inter view with the French Journalists, scouts the ldrA o ibvuimi iwmtniiv. - nother election and speak or tne veto struggle as prsctically closed by the ast decisive election. Vela Struggle Ended. Sir Charles Dllke. who. ss sn Inae - .nt number, takes a more detached vlw snd who is a shrewd snd experi enced politician, also agrees that the veto struggle is over and that the Lords will accept the ministerial bill. Dllke also anticipates that Irish home rule will the first business sfter the passage f the veto. In the meantime the Vlater Orangemen are playing their old game of threat ening civil war. They nuke bellicose speeches, recommend the drill snd the purchase of arms snd bogus sdvertlse ments In the German papers ask for a supply of cheap guns. All Inquiries by the police Tail to materialize eur.er me drill or arm, snd the whole thing Is shown ns a ridiculous attempt to frighten ptiMlc opinion In England. Numerous deaths of aviators come as a climax to a singularly gloomy Christ mastime, snd soma people suggest that this should be known as the Black Christmas. STEENSON'S BODY IS FOUND ,?Ian.

Flour exports from Portland wers 28!678 barrels, valued at $1,186,602. In building permits and realty trans fers Portland established new records which, it Is believed, will equal the showing made by any city in the United States. The totsl valuation in permit reached $20,604,957. The in crease over the totals of 1909 was $7. 123,677. or 53 per cent. The big show ing Is represented In the number of modern office structures and hotel buildings, permits for which were Is sued In December. The totals for De cember resulted also In a new monthly reeord. the valuation being $4,715,420. The total of permits for the corre sponding month In 1909 represented a valuation of $1,436,625. Keal Estale Is Active. The real estate situation during the yeac jva unusually, strong and active. Aside from the formal transfers of the O. R- & N. snd Oregon-Washington properties to the O-W. R- & N.. In volving a valuation of J70.000.000. the ordinary transfers exceeded in valua tion those made In 1909 by neany J4.000.000. .With the railroad transfers added to the regular business, the totals for the year were $100,09,000, as against $26,485,927 In 1909. Among the Important features jn tne year of progress and prosperity was the enormous stride made In municipal Im Drovements. The city made a great record for hard-surface paving. Nearly 76 miles of paving was completed at a total cost of more than J4.000.000. To the first of the year Just closed only 64 miles of hard-surface paving had been laid. It la seen that 12 miles more of paving was completed In 1910 than had been in use altogether up to 1910. Ac cording to estimates now In the City Engineers office, more tnan oi nuwi of navlna- la already planned for 1911. and will cost more than J3, 500.000. AVater System Improved. Th oltt- water avstem was improved and enlarged at an expense of nearly 12.000,000. With the completion of the new Bull Run pipe-line and two large reservoirs, the city's water suply will be Increased from a dally capacity of 22.000.000 gallons to 43.000.000 gallons. Fifty-seven miles of street grading was done and 66 miles of water mains were laid during the year. Tha sewer system was extended at a cost of J570.000. Plans for tne present yea will result In more extensive work in sewers, water mains and street grading. Mora than J230.000 was expended dur ing? the year for new school buildings. additions to buildings and general im provements. The budget for tne pres ent year Includes the expenditure of J350.000 of new buildings and improve ments, in addition to J500.000 for the Lincoln High School. All Past Kecorda Eclipsed.
