WINTER TRADE.
Taw followin abstract of statistics of exports bythe Stanley, in the course of six weeks from 25th December 1898 to 8th February, 1898, are worthy of remark :

These statistics were obtained by the
President of the Board of Trade, Mr. Horace Hazard. They show that a eonsiderable export trade is going
on,.even though there is but une steamer
running from cne_ port, and even though ber trips are very irreguiar.
That ourwinter import trade is equally large we make no donbt; and that given a second steamer the volume would be dou- bled or trebled is a reasonable conclusion this may be, one winter trade is even now o euch subjected to the bezard of total stoppage by av agcident tothe Stanley.

“There is no evidence that the disaster was the work of an enemy, but intruding upon the
sympathy which is felt by the country for the victims and for their friends, upon the admiration expressed forthe heroic qualities displayed by Captain Sig«bee and the other survivors of the ship, and upon the feeling of warm gratitude to the Spanish captain of the Alfonso XII. and the Spanish authorities on shore for the ready aid extended toour cfficers acd sailors, comes a barsh note of suspicion of murderous treachery. Chief covstrue- ter Hicbborne and Coustructor Bowles decline to accept the theory that the catise of the explosion was accidental or within the ship. In stating this view, in news- paper interviews, they are open tothe suspicion of considering the reputation of their corps of contractors before their duty to their couutry, which requires that every one who speaks with authority shal! be silent so Jong as he is ignorant. They shouid imitate the wise discretion and advice of Captain S'gsbee and of other brave men ef the fighting brench of the navy, aod euspend judgment until they have evidence on which they may base opiwions. The naval constructors have been echoed by some jingo Congressmen and some sensational newspapers. There 1s not a particle of evidence that the dis aster war caused by a Spanishor Cubail, enemy of the United States, while. the destruction of warsships by explosives is to be expected, becauee, as Senator Hale waya, the ships are floati..s voleanoes.
