COMMERCIAL EXPANSION
S,aU's,lu ,h; WOO will sur- j
pass that of any preceding year, both in
exports and in the excess of exports over1
Imports. The imports will be slightly
below those of one or two preceding years,
and. when considered In their relation to
population. ::how a smaller importation
for each individual than at almost any
other Derlod In many years. Basing the
estimate for the year upon the eleven
months' actual figures already received
by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, it
seems probable that the exports of the
calendar year -JII00 will r'h about.
170.000.0000. and the imports $S2", 000.000,
making the favorable balance cf trade
J.64.-..O00.0OO. or J25.00il.0fi0 mere than that
of anv preceding year. It Is only since
that the exoorts havj; with any re
gularity exceeded the Imports.
Considering the exports alone, it :nav
be sa'd that for the calendar year WOO
they will he double these of the calendar
year lSSit, three tlnus these of. 1S72. four
times these of 1S1M. and five times as
iiiich as in IS'it'. On the Imnort side the

ELDORADO, KANSAS. Dec. 18. Tho
women who held an indication meeting :
and iroposed to lynch Miss Morrison tin- .;
ices she left Alderado, are now mora quiet
about their intentions, and the ring -leaders
of the affair refuse to dlseusn their,
plan.?. Other meetings have been held,,
and the movement seems to'be growing.
Miss Morrison does not seem worried
over the affair and conducts herself ,
with the same coolness that characterized
her throughout the trial.
Mrs. Roland Wiley, mother ol -tno
ml'Ir(U;rcd brIde sai(1 c0ccrning the pro
posal to lynch Miss Morrison: "I can
not say that the women friends of my
dead daughter will avenge themsclvea by
hanging MBs Morrison, but they ought to,
1 would hot like to lead audi a crowd,
tut unltss she leaves town I am tempted
to sav to the women, 'come and follow

Miss Morrison's attorneys say the
lynching taJk is absurd and threaten to
rrre3t wemen who are urging it on.
