THE SIBERIAN TRADE Russia Contemplates a Duty on American Products. MAY GO IBTQ EFFECT JANUARY 1 PacUo Coast Exporters Would B footed-A Hatter of Deep Concern. porters who have been working up aj fine trade with Siberia are somewhat? concerned over the report that thei much-talked of duty on American goolsj entering Russian territory will be eu l forced after January 1. This mattorV has been und;r discussion for several years, ana periodical threats of its en forcement have been heard from time! to time, but thus far no decided action has been taken. The probabilities of something being done are greater now than they were on account of the new ports in the Pacific provinces being much better suppied with American goods than ever before. American lumber has been used in ties, bridges, and for other building purposes in con ueotion with the great Siberian rail road. Pacific coast wheat, flour, oats and other provisions have also found a' big market among the thousands of the czar's subjects who have swarmed into the ports of Vladivostock and Port Arthur and the surrounding country, which is being tapped by the great trans-Siberian railroad. The levying of this duty Is a matter Df deep concern to this coast, as it is from these porta that most of the large shipments of lumber and flour have been forwarded, and already a start had been made in other lines. Ex porters who are in touch with the situ ation are loc disposed to discuss the matter very freely yet, and hope that bhe issue will be again postponed, as it has in the past; but the lact that a number of hurry orders for flour have been received by parties who are sup posed to be in veiy close touch with the ruling powers, at Vladivostock and Port Arthur, would indicate that there is more than usual cause for alarm at the present time. Russia has recently established a steamship line between Odessa and Vladivostock and Port Arthur, and if the duty is en forced, it will probably be with a view to shutting American lumber and flour Dut of the Siberian ports in order that tbe same commodities from the Black aca will be given tbe preference. COREA KING'S PRESENT. Qlvei Food, and Tobacco to the Allied Forces -Situation In China. ftngku, China, Nov. 6. -A gift of a large quantity of flour, rice and to bacco from tbe king of Corea to the al lied forces has arrived here and been forwarded to Tien Tsin for distribu tion. The present was accompanied by a letter from his majesty expressing bis friendship and good will to the allies, and begging them to accept the supplies. There were in all 8,116 sacks of flour, 986 sacks of rice and 2,000 boxes of cigarettes, which have been apportioned among the respective troops. The share of the Americans has been forwarded to the men at Pe kin. , The gift caused considerable com ment here, especially in view of the fact that the letter from the Coreau ruler expressly requested that the sup plies be equally distributed among the ibices. This naturally Includes the Japanese. Cigarettes are sought after as souvenirs. Ontrttgea of the Boxere. Loudon, Nov. 6. Dr. Moirison, wir ing to the Times from Pekin, Novem ber 2, says: "The evidence in the Pa Ting Fn trial to fix the responsibility for the massacres showed that an American lady, before execution, was led naked through the city and that her breasts were cut off. The destruction of two temples is not an adequate punishment for such inhumanity." Characteristics of Allied Occupation. London, Nov. 6. "Advices from Tien Tsin," sayi the Shanghai corre spondent of the Times, "show that confusion, diift'gtinkation and absence of security are the chief characteristics of the allied occupation." New German Loan. Berlin, Nov. 7. It Is ascertained from a source apparently reliable that another and even larger imperial loan is forthcoming. Leading financiers of Berlin and Frankfort coroborate this statement. The cost of the China ex pedition, which is much more consid erable than has hitherto been admitted, must be covered by such a loan. Transvaal Exhibit Shot Up. NbW York, Nov. 7. A dispatch from Paris to tho Herald says that the exposition authorities bave closed the Transvaal pavilion because Mr. Pier son, the Transvaal commissary-general, refused to remove the inscriptions in sulting to England, with which tbe walls are covered.

In the wreck of a Southern Pacific freight train near Keswick today, two men were killed and three others injured. Tbe dead are an unknown man and Al Bryan, of Denver, Colo. Population of Indiana and Florida. Washington, Nov, 7. The popula tion of Indiana, as officially announced today by the census bireau, is 2,518, 463, as against 2,192,404 in 1890. an increase of 234,058, or 14.7 per cent. The Chinese MlnUlar'g Sneeeh at the Carnegie Inatltute. Pittsburg, Nov. 5. With a grate ful enthusiasm past all precedents, the fifth founder's day of Carnegie insti tute was celebrated today. In and aronnd tbe beautiiui building more than 5,000 people thronged in their de sire to express to Andrew Carnegie their appreciation, to the distinguished gnest of the day, Minister Wu Ting Fang, their homage, and of the treas ures of art and science and literature their regard. Minister Wu, the speaker of the day, was greeted with prolonged applause. He said iu part: "China has a great deal to learn from this young republic I hope, however, that she will learn, not the arts of war, which have for their sole 1 end and aim the destruction of life, but i the arts of peace which make for the hapoiness and welfare of the neonle No nation can become really great by war. True greatness does not lie in the extent of territory nor in the strength of battalions, but in the char acter of the peopli. From personal observation I am inclined to the belie! that the American people possess the element of national greatness in a bigh degree. "The test of loftiness oi character is to possess boundless power without abusing it. Wealth is power. Where can you find such vast accumulations of wealth in private bands as in Ameri ca, with so little attendant evil felt by society? I bave seen countries where the rich oppress tbe poor and tbe poor curse the rich. There money is the root of all evil. The reverse seems to be the case in America. Here the rich use the ample means at their disposal for the benefit of the people, and the people have good reason to bless the rich. In other words, American men of wealth are public benefactors. I bave not far to go for an example. In your midst you have a signal instance of this class of philanthropic men ol wealth. , This institution is an endur ing monument of the founder's munifi cence. Here one can find the most effective means for the enlightening of the mind and the uplifting of the soul. Books, paintings and sculpture and specimens of objects possessing educa tional value are accessible at all times and to all persons. The day will soon come when foreigners will visit this city, not so much to see the great in dustrial establishments as to see this institution, which spreads iM influence far and wide. This city will be equal ly iamons for the great educator as for a manufacturing center. May this standing monument of the founder's benefaction stimulate others to follow this noble example. May the 'Found er's day,' which I heartily join with you in celebrating, be ever observed from year to year as an event of na tional interest." After the exercises a reoeption wai tendered to Minister Wu in the art gallery, where the distinguished guest met and shook hands with about 1,000 people. Lived 123 Years. New York, Nov. 6. George Wash ington Freemen Homer Green, a former negro slave, died in the alms hospital at Hempstead, L. I., yesterday at the reputed age of 123 years. Green it said to bave been born on a farm near Elizabethport, N. J., on January 1, 1777. He was sold to a Virginia planter named Horner, by whom, it is said, he was sold to General Washing ton. In 1812 he was made a free man, and then came North and was employ ed by George Green, a Long Island farmer, with whom he remained for 40 years. Green's faculties remained un impaiied until 15 yea is ago, when his sight and hearing began to fail, and he entered the poorhouse, where he had lived ever since. He used both whisky and tobacco, but is said never to bave shown any bad effects from either. He was married several times and is said to have been the father of 87 chil dren, most of whom are dead. Socialists arrested, New York, Nov, 6. Six speakers of the Socialist Labor party, who in sisted on talking to an enormous crowd at Seventh street and Avenue C to night, were arrested by the police, who claimed they bad no permit to speak, A good deal of clubbing was done by the policemen, who numbered over 80. The Socialists went back to ther head quarters, overlooking the corner, after being bailed and talked again. The corwd hooted the ploice, and the offl ceis, enraged, charged the crowd. They used their clubs on a good many beads and arms and drove them back from the street, clearing it. Then they took the men to the station-house. They were in cells only a short time when they were bailed out. Confessed to Arson. Dallas. Texas, Nov. 5. Hiram P. Erwin was today convicted of arson. The jury returned a verdict of five years in the penitentiary. Erwin con fessed to having burned property on which there was $15,000 insurance, and claimed the owners had hired him to do so.

Taooma, Nov. 8, According to Yok ohama advices, tbe Buddhists of Japan , are making great efforts to celebrate j the beginning of the new century by active missionary work.

NEXT CONGRESS REPUBLICAN MeKlnley Carrie New York by 150,000 Ills; Landslide In Illinois-Maryland, West Virginia and Nebraska la she Republican Column. New York, Nov. 7. It became evi dent at a very early hour this evening that the election of McKlnlev and Roosevelt was assured. The president carried the state of New York by 160, 000 plurality. As the night progiossed, it enly served to confirm this judgment, but the returns from Illinois revealed a tike condition. The Repulblcan plu rality of 1898 was greatly reduced, but it was still far too large to be over come. On the otliei hand, the returns from Indiana, Michigan, the two Dakotas, Utah and Wyoming, as well as Nebras ka, seem to indicate steady Republi can gains over 1806. Delaware, Mary land and West Virginia, bave given de cided Republican pluralities. The oount in several of the far West ern states was naturally so delayed as to give little indication of the opinion there, but they had ceased to have a determining effect, and before 10 o'clock the Democratic leaders bad given up the contest and it was an nounced that Mr. Bryan bad gone to bed and was sound asleep. The whole story was easily and briefly told. The Republican ti-ket would bave a larger electoral vote than four years ago, but in the larger states of the East and Middle West the plu ralities of 1886 had been greatly re duced. Masschusetts bad fallen from 174,000 to 50.000 New York, 268,000 to 150,008, and Illinois from 142,000 to lUO.OOjor less. The 57th congress seems to be Re publican by a substantial working ma jority. Bryan carried all tbe Southern states, as usual, along with Colorado, Idaho, Montana and one doubtful state, Kentucky, by a small plurality. Doubtful states which went for Mo Klnley are Maryland, West Virginia and Indiana, all by small pluralities. McKinley's purality in Ohio is 76, 000, in Michigan 80,000. ' Nebraska, Bryan's home state, went Republican by a small plurality. The New England states and Penn sylvania are, as usual, in the Republi can column. r MoKinleys plurality in Iowa is 100. 000, Kansas 80,000, Minnesota 80, 000. , THE COAST. California, Oregon and Washington all went for McKinley, Tbe contest was close in California, but it is expected the state will give McKinley 10,000 plurality. Oregon gives McKinley 14,000 plu rality, but few oonnties going Demo cratic. , Washington goes for McKinley by a small plurality, probably 6,000, but the state ticket is much in doubt, with the probability that Rogers, Democrat,, is elected governor, , Tbe legislature will be Republican. The electoral vote will probably be as follows: McKinley, 292; Bryan, 155. ' ' ; Disastrous to Sheep and Goats. Monroe, Or., Nov. 1. Sheep and goat raisers in this vicinity are greatly alarmed over the abundant growth this season.of the poison fungus or toad stool. Goats and sheep seem to have i great liking for the stuff, and its poi sonous qualities are sufficient to kill tbi animal whioh eats it. Will Be Hanged December 31. Spokane, Wash., Nov, 1.

Nugent left with his pris oner tonight for New York. Senor Silvela, tbe premier, has madf the empbatical declaration that Spair must have a powerful navy again. NEW EMERGENCY RATION. ICxperlment on Troops in Active Service In the Field. Fort Reno, O. T., Nov. 7. The board of officers detailed by the war department to find, if possible an emer gency ration that will meet all tbe re quirements of troops engaged in active warfare, while away from their base of supplies and in a hostile country, where provisions are scarce, lett here yesterday with a detachment of 25 men from troop A, Eighth Cavalry, for ex perimental purposes. The men will observe the same routine as if they were engaged in an active campaign against tbe enemy. Tbe members of the board are: Captain W. Fountain, Eighth cavalry, and Captain S. W. Foster, Fifth cavalry. Captain and Assistant Surgeon J. D. Poindexter, stationed at Fort Reno, accompanied the exepdition. A single ration is sup posed to contain enough food to sustain a man a day, and in its package weighs ilightly more than a pound. The board has two different emer (enoy rations, witti whioh it will ex periment. The first is a ration pre pared by the board after an examina tion and analysis of the food prepara tions used In nearly all the European armies. Tbe board's observations and conclusions are embodied iu the ration whioh was manutactured under its supervision. The second is a ration produced by a company at Passaic, N. J. The New Jersey ration consists ol tea in place of chocolate, and. a combi nation of meat and breadstuff, com pactly arranged. The board's own ra tion consists of two cakes of pure sweet chocolate, three cakes of a combina tion of meat and breadstuffa in com pressed form, and small quantity ol salt and pepper for seasoning. Cop ;ain Fountain, who is president of the board, said of the experiment: "Our expedition will leave Fort Reno just as if it had been called sud denly away from its base of supplies to fight an enemy in an unknown and hostile country. Ihe routine daily life will approximate as closely as possible the conditions of actual warfare. Five regular field rations and five of the board's emergonoy ration will be issued to each man at the start. "For two days the men will live on the regular army ration, On the third day this field ration will be abandoned and the men put on the emergency ration, which will be their only food for five days. The test will be as rig orous as possible so far as food is con cerned. The result will form the basis of the board's report to the war depart ment. "At the end of the seventh day we will leave reach Fort Sill. The men will still bave a three days' supply of tegular field rations, which will be enough to take them buck to Fort Reno."
