May 3 —John Armstrong Chaloner, author of the f&moui "Who's Looney Now." which he dedicated to his brother, then husband of IJna Cava- Ilerl, has produced a volume of verse under the title "Scorpio." A bitter arraignment of Rockefeller Is followed by the following eulogy of John I*. Sullivan, under title of "The Apoth eosis, or a Dead Game Sport's lament." BY R. L. ARDREY. (Author of "Commercial Reciproc "Prosperity and Foreign Mar Jcets"Expert Manual” etc., a close student of the tariff and an author ity on exportation.) A mere reduction in the duties in our tariff will have no effect in pro moting foreign markets for the prod ucts of American labor. Wl^en the Wilson bill was pending in Congress in 1894 its friends in dulged in beautiful dreams about "the markets of the world," which we were to have when the bill became a 'aw. The cold facts show that exports fell off pfter the bill was passed. N In 1892, under the McKinley tariff, exports of domestic product? amount ed io a little over a billion dollars. the first year, under the Wilson tariff, the fisoai year ended June 30. 1895, domestic exports had fallen to less than eight hundred millions. After the Dingley tariff was exact ed there was a steady increase in ex ports and last yea-- the total was al most three times the average under the Wilsbn tariff. ^Foreign Business Indifferent. The business men of foreign coun tries do not care whether our duties ,^re high or low. They have sold (‘ more goods .to the United *’ ? ta*es un der The Dinglev tariff than under the ■v Wilson bill. It is a remarkable, fact that our im ports of manufactured products under the first three yertrs of the McKinley tariff were larger than under the three sears of the Vi ;’son tariff. What other - »untries object to is the provincial indifference of Con gress to fair dealing in international trade. • They particularly object to tariff "inkers” and tYie "administrative sec tions” in the McKinley-Dingley- rayne tariffs, which compel a for eign merchant «»r manufacturer to engage in wnolesale perjury when he sells goons in the United States. \ This destroys the confidence of for eign buyers in American goods and American- methods of doing business and aggravates the demands on for eign.

Even England, while she has no protective tariff, has commercial treaties with all th f, se countries, which insure hoi. for British goods, the lowest rates grained by any Eu ropean country In treaties or other wise. And the British colonies, with Can ada in t lie lead, have entered into a scheme of preferential tariffs which favor British made goods and dis criminate against the United States. Tin- modern European system of reciprocity began nearly a century ago in the zollverein. or tariff, union of German states, more than fifty years before these states were con solidated in the German Empire. In 1879 the German Imperial Govern ment passed a tariff law which au thorized concessions in duties on a few a Tides, as a basic for treaties with other countries which would op' ri n di ke's for German goods.

May 3.—Details per taining to the establishment of Fried mann Institutes in several States for the administration of the turtle vac cine have been made public. The vital fact of the news is that patients all over the United States can obtain treatment in a very few weeks. Twenty-fire thousand letters have been received from consump tives anxious to try the remedy re gardless of its merits or demerits, and these. Dr. Friedrich Franz Friedmann announces, will soon have their op portunity. The Friedmann Institute in New York will be the first to open, the date being very soon after Friedmann returns from a trip to Canada this week to see patients there. The original plans of Friedmann to establish headquarters here and go from one part of the country to an-, other treating patients have been changed. Tests of the merits of the treatment are still unfinished by sur geons in the United Stales Marine Hospital Service of the Federal Gov ernment. If tbelr report is ady-arse to Friedmann's method* the Federal law might prohibit interstate trans portation of the vaccine. Thus the "State's rights’’ plan was adopted. Dispatches from Washington say the Solicitor of the Treasury is look ing up the legal aspects of th© present- plan*. • Friedmann as yet has made no se lections of physicians for the different institutes. He will give his vaccine to any physicians who apply for it, with instructions as to its application, and will give free treatment to pa tients who are poor. ATLANTIC CITT. N.

Kverv pound of smokeless ordnance ■powder purchased hv the United States Government for the army and navy is manufactured Itv the du Pont de Nemours Ponder Company. The principal plant is located at Haskell, N. .1.. thirty-three miles from New York City. It is the biggest of its kind in America and extends over a tract five miles long. A .Japanese syndicate headed by Heitaro Ku.jita has pur chased sixteen hundred acres adjoining the du Pont plant. He now owns five great hill tops, each otle of which commands a different section of the powder works. Fnjita is said by some to represent the .Japanese Government. With swell caution did some of tlie agents of Fnjita take tille to these hills that the neighborhood did not become aroused until the present agitation in California against the alien owner ship of land began to develop international proportions. Commands Powder Works. Purchase was made through Joshua Picker, of Haskell, act ing for Lawrence H. Ta.sker, of No. 154 Nassau Street, New Y’ork. "Why the Japanese have quietly Fettled here beside us is a puzzle.” said an officer of the du Pont company, at Haskell, yesterday. "If they wanted to. they could mount a few guns and throw shells that would put us out of business. Of course I am not saving that they have any euch thing in mind.” That the United States Government is wholly dependent upon the du Pont company for ordnance powder was shown by evidence in the Government’s suit for the dissolution of the monopoly. It was shown that the du Pont company made 100 per cent of all the smokeless powder out side of the comparatively small amount manufactured by the Govern ment Itself. Japs Appeared Years Ago. Japanese began to investigate the country around Haskell shortiv after Ihe I’nited Plates Government began work on the Panama Canal One Japanese after another is eaid to have made fleeting visits to the valley of the Wanague. so the residents of Haskell say. Direct overtures for the purchase were not made until about three years ago. Nothing definite was known, however, until agents of Fnjita entered into negotiations through local real estate agents for tlie purchase of the .1 M. Sloat homestead, which includes a conical hill, commanding a wide- reaching view of the Haskell plant. The Sloat farm Is to the north of the powder plant about two miles. Other Hill Tops Bought. The hills bordering the Wanaque River alternate with ow vallevs. In one of these valleys is located the powder house of the Haskell fac tory. About a mile to the south are the fuse and cap plants of the truer. The cap factory is farthest sou - .h, being situated not far from Pomp- ton Lakes All of Ihe factories are located only a short distance to the easi of the Greenwood Lake division of the Hrie Rail oad. Following the acquisition of the Sloat property th. Japanese turned the r attention to olher hilltops which command the valieva in which the remaining buildings of the powder plants are hiding. One of Hie next purchases by the Japanese was the David farm, which comprises 309 acres. In the last three yea s the Japanese holdings have increased little hv little-, until they, now aggregate 1.000 acres. The names of a!| of the farms purchased could not be ascertained because of the quietness with which they have ItPen acquired.
