Mr. Zangwlll holds that at present It will be Impossible for the Jewa to get possession of Palestine, their an cient scat, for the sultan cannot be Induced to grant a charier carrying with n political rlghta. Therefore he would turn elsewhere for a provisional Palestine, believing (hat any tarrltory under a Jewish flag would become a rallying point for Zionism, a training *. hool In self-government, a fulcrum of political Influence, nnd a nursery of emigrants for Palestine when the lat ,er territory ahall hnvr been acquired, ■fpeaklng of England's nftar tn hla New .fork address on Thursday evening.

The Idea seems to be that the nation which nobly alma at the peace of Jua tlce should be able to whip at least three of the other biggest nations com btned. on the principle that nothing promotes forbearance, generosity and Christian charity like the poaaeaaion a glanl'e strength. A London paper quoted seems much pleased with the President's usa of thla term and say* It will become ''his toric." If It la to suptraede the "big slick" It will become historic undoubt edly and have a meaning It has not hitherto posaeasrd, for It has been In common use among French publicists, aa Mr. Roosevelt himself acknowledged In a speech at the French pavilion at the 81.

It 1* stAted by the Journal of the Af rican Society that for some years death by poison has been the subject of talk in the colony of Bierri Leone. No one. It would appear, dies from natural causes.

At $485 per mile the total cost of the 2.500 miles of deep-sea wire was $1,212,500. To this add twenty-five miles of “shore end" ire, costing $1,450 per mile and we find that the first ocean cable, exclu sive of instruments, cost $1,250,000.

Has Reached Larger Proportions Than Any Other Year—Feature* of the Cotton Trade. Commerce between the United States and China In the ten months ending with Oct., 1904. shows a larger total. lv>th in Imports and exportn. than In the corre sponding months of any earlier year. The October reports Issued by the department of commerce and labor, through Its bureau of statistics show the total Im ports Into the United States ftom China during the ten months ending with Oct 1904, at $23,993,324, which exceeds by more than $3,000,000 the largest total in the corresponding period of any earlier year; and the exports from the United States to China In the ten months ending with Oct., 1904. $20,557,184, which ex ceeds by about one-half million dollars the largest total In the corresponding period of any earlier year. Tills Is cepe- dally interesting In view of ths fact that trade with Chino, particularly ns relates to exports to that country, lias been ma terially reduced during the past one or two years, due presumably to the hostili ties In progress ir. that part of the world. The export* from the United States to the Chinese Empire. which rjprhed $24.- 722.906 in the fiscal year 1902, fell to $18,- 898,163 In the fiscal year 1903 and to $12,- 862,432 in tiie fiscal year 1904. The fact that the figures for the ten months end ing with Oct.. 1904. show ti larger total than those for the corresponding ten months of 1902, the. period at which the fiscal year figures show their largest total, suggests a very rapid increase in our ex ports to China in the row months aub- nequent to the termination of the last fiscal year, end this suggestion Is sua- tnined by the figures of our exports to Chinn during recent months, hs shown by tin* reports of Ihe bureau of statistic*. fn the month of Oct.. 1904. for example, the total value of merchandise exported from the United Rtntes to China was $3.- 846.803. against $1 324.335 In October of 1903. In f'ept., 1904. our exports to China amounted to $2,962,338, against $839,024 in Sept, of 1903. In August. 1904, our *x- . $4,074 ‘ AC3N\GA££2 port* to China were $4,074,794, against $604.744 in August of 1903. nnd In July. 1904. the value of merchandise exported from the United Staten to China was $1,924 680, against $915,010 in July of the preceding year. Thus In the months of July. August, tfept., and October. 1904, the value of merchandise exported from the United States to China was $12.82*.- 613. ngainst $3.4*7.313 In the correspond ing months of the preceding year. This rapid Increase in our expo' to China In the last few month* M to strengthen the belief expressed .during the last year that the fall in exports to that country waa temporary and due to the special conditions prevailing In that section of the world, and especially In the northern part of China, which had been looked upon ns the final destination of a large part of the merchandise from the United State*, and especially cotton goods. The latest figures of the bureau of statistics show that the exports of cotton goods to China have greatly In creased In recent months. In the month of Oct., 19A4. cotton cloth exported from the United States to Chins amounted to 43.843.633 yards, against 9,- 070.600 yards In Oct. of the preceding year; in Sept., 1904. the number of yards of American cotton cloth exported to China wns 20.S95.20fl'against 3,277.050 In Sept, of the preceding year, while for August, 1904, the figures were 44.247.094 yards, against 4.096.161 yards In August of the preceding year. This brings the total value of ootton cloths exported from the United States to China in the ten months ending with Oct.. 1904. up to $9,657,707. against $3,602,363 In the cor responding months of the preceding year. In mineral oil the increase is still great er, the exports from the United States In the ten months ending with Oct., 1904, being $6,478,668, against $1,134,058 In the corresponding months of 1902, and $2,415.. 472 in the corresponding months of 1902. In quantity the exports of mineral oil to China in the ten months ending with Oct.. 1904, were 61.496,2X4 gallons, against 16,963.664 gallons in the corresponding months of fast year nnd 28.503,282 — ** — In tho corresponding months of 1 On the Import side the figures .... ten months show an increase of shout three million dollar* as compared with the corresponding months of the preced ing year, and stand about three millions shove the highest flgure of any ten months' period of earlier years.

The truth is, the mnr ! was ripe for a break. For weeks and months stocks continued lo rise without Interruption until speculation, overstimu lated by Increasingly favorable outside ondltlona, carried the market up to the point of collapse, tfentirnent everywhere was so overwhelmingly bullish that wenk spots were Ignored and a situation oreat- where only a shock of some sort was needed to force wholesale liquidation. This shock came In the form of an at tack upon Amalgamated Copper, which promptly exposed the weakened condition of the whole market. Stocks, It was then seen, had passed from strong Into weak hands. The big m*n who bought freely at the low prices of 1**2 h?«a disposed very largely of their holdings, and when tho crash came there was little or no support from thla quarter. Liquidation of overbought accounts became Impera tive. and prices were so huh that no substantial buyers could be found except at such heavy declines jui exhausted wenk margins end frightened timid holders out of their sensen. The decline was, of course, accompanied by the uaual supply of unsettling rumors and Intensified by the trading dement, who always push a movement In either direction »o tho ut most. cine thing Is clear: the financial atmosphere has been much clarified by thla unwelcome squall.

As for the future, that depends Inrgely upon devlopmcnts. At this writing the meant to he about over. The trou- hen strictly confined to technical conditions, the stock market being sim ply overbought, prices unreasonably high end the speculative spirit rcckleas. In trinsic conditions, it should be noted, are undisturbed and sound. This break Is not likely to have any deterrent effect upon Ircltlmate business. If It checks tho rampant spirit of speculation that waa ranldly developing It will prove u Mean ing In disguise- Our farmers will be none the less prosperous because stocks have broken several points; our manufacturers will produce and sell none the less, and there will In* no fall In wnge* or sny de crease In the number of hands employed In consequence.
