amount of customs receipts and in
number of consignments imported, a
record "current" month at this port.

ceeded it iu print of customs receipts
was April, 1897, and this was the rec
ord month of the year when a new tariff
was about to become Operative, and an
unprecedented rush to get goods into
the country was made. Last month's
receipts were 117,250,000. - -The- re
celptsln April, 1887, were $17,700,000.

hatches. . Fortunately bags of fish oil
were then hung along the steamer's side
and prevented the seas from breaking,
although a heavy, confused sea threat
ened momentarily to engulf the steam
er. Had the Java been loaded, the
officers think, the steamer would have
been lost. . The Java proceeded to Weet
Seattle.

Paris, Nov. 7. The arbitrators in
the miners' strike in the department of

written declaration of the representa

others which have occurred in every

The seaport town of Hisurote. Vene-

zuelan gunboat Crespo. The landing
party is said to have caused great
damage to property owned by , Spanish

DANISH ISLAND DEAL.
People Who Blocked Sale of West Indies
Are Badly Disappointed.
Copenhagen, Nov. 8. The time for
subscribing to the stock of the Danish
West Indian company haa expired. Of
the $1,000,000 nominal capital only
one-fifth was subscribed for. notwith-
tanding the advertisement given to the
concern by King Christian and Crown
Prince Frederick taking stock. The
piomoters, who are . anti-salers, are
downcast because of the weakness of
the sentiment in favor of aiding the
West ' Indian plan. The leaders of
the movement intend to appeal to Kins
George, of Greece, Queen Alexandra
and the dowager czarina of Russia to
buy shares. The banks and a few in
dividuals will probably face the matter
and stand the losses, since the treaty
providing for the sate of the Danish
West Indies to the United States was
rejected partly on account of their
promises. .

was suspended by Premier Ross, who
is also treasurer of the province.

Annual Report of the Adiatsni fienrii
Deals with Every Feature of the Army
Says Every Regiment Should Have
Its Marching Song Mors Amusement
Should Bo Provided.
Washintgon, Nov. 10. The annaal
report of Adjutant General Corbin, of
the army, deals with every feature of
the army, begins with a tawmnt
nLowlcg that the army i to be-red!
by December 1 to 60.020 men. of hirh
about 2,877 belong to the staff depart
ments. The report shows that during
the flecal year. 35 officers were killed
in action or died of wound a or disease;
21 resigned, and 63 retired. Of th
enlisted men, 1,277 were killed or died
of wounds and disease; 35,806 were
discharged on the expiration of service;
5,498 were discharged for disability or
uismisseu by order of court martial;
4,667 deserted; two were mhsins. and
iua reiireu.
General Corbin has the following to
nay regarding me canteen:
The restoration of the exchantre. as
it existed before the passage of th am
oi teoruary 2, 1901, prohibiting the
eie oi peer, is desired and urged by
me great majority of officers and men

reports confirm the views leng held by
this office that the oid exchange con-.;v.nt-.i

i.vuvnu iu Bourjwy, ccaita and con
tentment of the men. The increase of
desertions, and of trials for infractions
of discipline is, by those best informed,
attributed to the abolition of the former
privileges of the exchange."
in conclusion the report says:
ine instruction for men in vocal
music would be a sten in tho diiwr inn
of contentment and better d
Every regiment should have its march

Constructed in Secrecy, but Reporter Saw
First Successful Trial.
Paris, Nov. 5. It haa been known
for some time past that the Brothers
Lebaudy and an engineer named Juliiot
have been constructing a steerabie bal
loon, but such secrecy has been ob
served, that little or nothing has been
published about the new flying ma
chine. A newspaper reporter now
claims to have witnessed the first ex
periment with the new balloon, which
he jsays occurred yesterday at Robert
Lebandy'a country house near Boa
sieres, where the airship was con
structed. The balloon ascended to a
height of about 20 yards with two
persons in the car. It was held down
by ropes, and the motor drove the air
ship against a stiff breeze. After man
euvers lasting half an hour, during
which several circles of the park where
the experiments were conducted were
made, the airship was replaced in its
shed. ,,
