During the month of March the imports at that port increased about $8,250,000, while outside of New York the falling off was over $3,300,000. Tre Minneapolis Jowrnal, veferring to | the terrible biizzard state the other day, says that it resulted from putting a man with Nebraska weather ideasat the head of the weather bureau. Considering that blizzards are practically unknown in this state, while they are to be encountered in Minnesota at almost all seasons of the year, this is almost funny enough to put into an almanac. that visited that THE proportion of divorces to popula- tion and to the number of marr is larger in the United States than in any other country excepting Japan. We have 88.71 divorces to every 100,000 peo- ple, while England and Wales have only 3.70, and even Franco has only 32.51. But Japan has 603,45, so our record is not the worst. As longas we are less lax than Japan in this matter it cannot be said that marriage is a total failure in this country, though our di- vorce rate has increased 28.71 in the past seven years. THE unsatisfactor ondition of the “Darkest England” funds, as shown by the twenty-sixth annual statement of the accounts of the Salvation army for the year ending September 30, 1892, affords a matter of serious consideration for the Methodist and General Assur- ance society (limited) which has been tending its money to General Booth usen the security of Salvation army property.

She has been put outside of the pale of the church, but still clings to the belief that she is committing no sin, and it is needless to say that she has thousands of sympathizer: UNDER the school ‘Wyoming the five years' teem for which the school books in the state were adopted is about to expire. A change of text books involves a direct outlay by the people of the state of many thousand dollars which they canill afford. As the yearly school meetings in all the school districts of Wyoming are to be held shortly it may be that the expres- sion of the people will be such as to in- duce superintendents to retafn the books now in use for another five years, In this case the question will doubtless soon be decided whether the best interests of people shall prevail in the face of importunate, clamorous text book agents. law of 1888 in s actively arranging for their national congress which is to assemble in Chicago during the week beginning July 1. Assurance has been given of a large attendance of sceialists from the principal cities of this country and distinguished delogates are expeoted from Belgium, France, Germany and Switzerland. The congress will discuss national politics and issue a manifesto of principles, ana also select delegates to the international congress of sceialists, which will meet at Zurich, Switzerland, in August.

This is a perfectly timate and proper undertaking, for it is designed to secure a convention that would not otherwise be held at all this and to bring a large number of re- 's to this city at a time when their nee is particularly desived by the manufacturers who will be represented in the exposition. That it will be a bene- fit to Omalia in many ways goes without saying, and it is not to be doubted that fund required will be promptly sub- [ seribed. The two weeks during which the Man- ufacturers exposition will be open will witness unwonted activity in Omaha. Many thousands of people wili visit the city and it will naturally follow that the pulse of business will stimulated.

Among them will be Admiral Gherardi's flagship, the Philadelphia, of the cruiser type, a class of war ship capable also of line-of-battle fighting, with a record of 19.678 knots an hour; her sister the Baltimore, with the same speed, and the San Francisco, considered the finest of the American crui cap- able of making twenty knots an hour, Among others of the forty or filty ships taking part the review that will illustrate the splendid achievements attained in the construc- tion of American war ships will be the superb steel protected cruiser Chicago, with her formidable avmament which could alone today make quick despatch of all the men-of-war combined that ever fought against this country; the Vesu- vius, a type of the steel-dynamite class: the Miantonomah, a steel double-tur- retted monitor of the class designed to stand off foreign cru s, and a harbor defender; the torpedo boat Cushing, th name of the gallant officer whose bravery demonstrated the utility of this type of battle boat, and the despatch boat Dol- phin, built while Mr. Chandler was sec- retary of the navy, and which he de- clared in the senatorial debate on urday, in reply to the captious critic of Senator Voorhees, would appsar in the review ‘‘as fine a ship as existed in the world of the period of construction.” This gratifying exhibit of the formid- able status of our navy leads to the re- flection that it has substantially been created within a decade. The navy of ten years ago existed in little else than name, and the work of its rehabilitation was begun during the administration of President Arthur. Since then its con- struction has been vigorously pushed under the administrations of Presidents Cleveland and Harrison, that the Uni es will soon—whea the ves- sels now building shall have been com- pleted--rank fifth on the list of naval powers, England, France, Russia and Italy being the only nations that will then be ahead of us. But although with these accessions she will yet be far behind the chief of these naval powers, neither the disposi- tion nor the necossity appears for at- tempting to still further compete with them. As showing what this couutry would have to contend with In entering into any such race it is to be taken into consideration that England in her de- termination to create the greatest navy in the world hus adopted a program that will increase its strength and character within the next half dozen years, and that she has in contemplation additional proposals for ships still greater and more powerful. And it is likely that she will continue in this direction in- definitely. To have the groat- o3t navy of the world has become the Englishman’s hobby, his pride, and the fervency tory and liboral alike estimated by the degr of enthusiasm with which he gives support to any measure looking to the increase and ef- ficien of Britain's navy. Moreover, with her widely separated and numerous colonial possessions, England has a most plausible excuse for keoping up a large navy. To possess a navy ‘“one-fourth a3 powerful as that of Britain in ), or one-third of the strength of that of France at the corresponding date, per- haps half that of Russia and equaling those of Italy and Gormany respec- tively,” a writer in the New York Sun, whose opportunities doubtless enable him to speak authoritatively, points out that the United States would have to add fifteen battle ships to the present number, which is seven; eight oruisers, twelve in all; dve coust defenders, twelve harbor defenders, an auxiliary force composing has come to be of great | time | take place, | namely, the Manufacturers exposition, | of the patriotic ardor of | lol ten dynamite oruisers and a ’ of equal reputd”§jth those summoned score o two of hoats.

The financial difficulties in which the whisky trust consequence of its policy of greed and its speculative ventures seem likely to prove as serions as that into which the Reading Coal combine has fallen for the same The sympathies of the public will not be aroused to any great degree in behalf of either of these monopolies, both of which stand on the same footing so far as principle is con- cerned, though one deals in a neces- sary of life, while the other deals in an article that is classed among the luxuries, The whisky trust, according to its annual report, is ina very bad way so far as its finances are concerned, and there is nothing in the reasons. much hope of an improvement. The decline of its stock from 66 to 264 in less than three months secms to have been fully justified by the demoralized state of its finances. The total earnings of the trust for the year ending March 31 32,688, while the earnings of the provious year were $4,728,827. Its liabilities are $3,068,287 and its assets are only $140,0080 above that amount, ording to its own showiug, the dis- tilling plants themselves being excluded from the ount.

The trial of Dr. Buchanan in New York, charged with causing the death of Lis wife by poison, has attracted almost unparalleled interest by reason of the extraordinary test to which the value of that class of evidence known as expert testimony has been subjected. The prosecution called to its assistance sev- eral of the best known pathologists and lists, who testified as to the pres- ence of poison in the stomach of the dead woman. They agreed as to the na- ture and effect of this poison and made out what seemed to be an almost conclusive case against the accused, so far as the consensus of opinion that the must have died from poison adminis- tered to her was concerned. An attor- ney for the defense, who also has a very thorough medical education, ina day achieved almost national repute by his minations of the medical perts for the proseeution. He forced them to confess that some of thei statements were purely guess work, that others were open to question, and that of many important matters con- nected with the science of which they were professedly masters they were ab- solutely ignorant. Not only the so-called exports of the prosceution, but the prosecuting lawyers themselves, the jury, and the general public were duwinb- founded by the revelations of ignorance, or more properly speaking, of narrow information which the young lawyer for the defense had developed. I and scientific men of long experience were attracted to the trial as never be- fore, and it was felt that not so much the fate of the accused as the value of ex- pert testimony was in the balance. After the prosecution had exhausted its resources in the production of alleged expert testimony the defense presented its medical experts, and the effect was sensational, Every position taken by the experts for the prosecution was combatted and appavently successfully overthrown. To one side or the other the conflict meant absolute disaster. The prosecution had apparently proved that poison had been administered to the dead woman: that her death could be accounted for in no other way. The experts summoned by the defense only disputed the trustworthiness the evidence given men who testified for the prose cution, but by elaborate exposi tions and experiments sought discredit the whole thewy pre sented by the prosecution. ‘Ihey did not hesitate to assert that specialists spec woman Cross- oy wyers of by the medical wholly ignorant of the latest of experimenting with the which they professed to discover, and were entirely behind the times as t) as- cortain facts regarding the development of poisons from putrefaction, methods Chemists it would be the equal | has become entangled in | report to indicate that its officers have | | there are no(?) mt | who testified for the prosecution were | poisons | [ lar session. by the prosecution maintained, and in- deed demonstrdWiY, that there are poi- sons developed {{ ¥he decomposing bodies of human beings, more particularly after death from disiges of the liver, which exactly simulatg. iy their chemical reac- tions the reactionsof morphia and some- times even of atfépia, the drugs claimed to have been adapinistored by Dr. Bu- chanan to his wifer The effect updh'the minds of the jury of this conflictingsand contradictor pert testimony tHa4t be extremely con- fusing, but whatever may be the result s remarkable trial it is inevitable that popular confidence in this class of lence must be greatly weakened. have been numerous occasions when so-called expert testimony was more | | or less discredited by the radical dis- | age sments of those giving it, but nonc in which the conflict of opinions was quite so radical as in the present case.

During all this time the duties of his office have been performed by an acting officer. Interest is again revived in this old army scandal by the tact that the time has come when General Swaim can ask to be retived from the service on account of age. It will be remembered that the he brought some time ago to re- cover the balance of his full pay, on the ground that his trial was illegal, was decided against him, and the question now agitating army circles is whether he will request to be retived and go out on three-quarters pay, instead of re maining on half pay until the time of his sentence shall have expived. gen- AND now a clean-cut fight is progr R.
