LARGE TRADE WITH JAPAN.
GREAT INCREASE IN EXPORTS
FROM THE UNITED STATES.
Manufacturers of Iron and Steel, Cot
ton Goods and Oils Are Especially
Prominent-The Imports.

\ recent report from the British le-
CATION at Toxic reviews the foreign
trade of Japan during the past years,
says the Washington Star. In the
supply of machinery, rails. nails and
pig iron. the United States assumed u
leading place. Attention was called
to the fact that at the close of 1896,
American rails sold in Japan at pri-
ces 50 per cent below those current at
the place of manufacture, and that
10000 tons of American rails were
sold at lower prices than British ma
kers were willing to accept. The
British representative also pointed
out that the American railway engine
builders were likely to receive a
great number of orders during the
present year. An unusual demand for
metals, textiles and raw materials is
noted, going to show the growth of
manufactures in Japan.
! \ reference to American official sta
| tistics fully sustains the matters as
mentioned by the representative OF
Great Britain at Toxic. From these it
is seen that there has been a great
increase in American exports to Ja-
pan, which have risen from $3.2SS.2S2
in 1892, year of large general eN-
ports. to $13.233,0 $40 for the fiscal year
just closed. The increase over the tis-
cal year of 1896 amounts to about
81. 100000. This increase was mainly
| in cotton and manufactures of cotton.
manufactures of iron and steel. in
Guiding machinery, mineral oil refin-
ed, manufactured tobacco. lumber and
wheat -four. The increase in the man
ufactures of iron and steel and in raw
cotton is especially noticeable.
The following table will exhibit the
growth of exports of the articles men,
toned:
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-09-13

In other items, there has also been
a substantial increase. In only one
instance has there been decrease
from the value of exports in 1896,
namely, in sole leather, which fell
from S414,692 to $213,S53.
notwithstanding the heavy increase
in exports the United States buys even
more from Japan than we sell to that
country. During the year just ended
the value of japanese goods brought
into the United States was $24, 009, 1855.
Compared with last year, this is de-
crease of about $1,500,000 However,
the value of Japanese imports has
been subject to comparatively little
fluctuation for number of years,
ranging from $l4,SS5,531 in 1896, to
$27, i54 ,22O in 1893.
The first time Japan appeared sep
arately in our trade records was in
1855, when the value of imports was
$60,521. There were no exports to be
recorded. In 1860 however the value
of exports was $l3S,774. From this
insignificant figure our export trade
to Japan has increased, mainly since
1890, to its present gratifying proper
tiOns. OF course, the principal artt-
Giles imported from Japan are tea, silk,
rice and mating. Earthen, stone and
china wear, crude camphor, sulphur,
flax, etc, are items of considerable
importance. OF the 13.343, 175 pounds
of tea imported by the United States
during the fiscal year 1897, Japan sup
piled 45,465,161 pounds and China So
4S3,92i pounds.
The import of chief value. raw silk
was last year valued at $1O.010,s35
Raw silk is free of duty. Manufacture
ed silk which total value of free goods
imported during the year was $1S,S0S,-
GOO, and of dutible goods. $5.201 .147.
These figures are fairly represen-
tative of recent years.
In connection with the importation
of Japanese teas it is noted that the
prices have in fifteen years decreased
fully one half. Thus in 1881 the guam
tity of tea imported was about $1,000.
600 pounds, valued at $S,sS6.S 97. In
1895. 36,o41,394 pounds, were valued al
S4,601 ,O41, and the last Years import
45.i65,161 pounds, at $5,651.279. The
highest value of japanese tea import
ed was reached in 1876, 31,167, 19i
pounds, at $10,426,53O

DUNNS REVIEW OF TRADE

New York. August 1S.-R. G. Dun
& Company's weekly review of trade
tomorrow will say:
Every city reporting this week notes
increase in trade, and nearly all bright
crop prospects. The great change in
business is emphasized by the pres
ence Of a multitude of buyers from
all parts Of the country, by their state
ments OF the situation at their homes,
and more forcibly yet by the heavy
purchases they are making. But the
customary signs Of prosperity are not
lacking. The strong rise in stocks,
the growth Of bank clearings and rail-
road earnings, the heavy speculation
in many products, but most of all in
wheat. have made the week one Of
surprising interest even 10 those who
best remember the upward rush in

of August "a per cent. larger than in

than in 1892 and SS.1 per cent. larger
than last year.

A FAITHLESS LOVER.
Miss Laugherty and the Wedding
Guests We're at the Church. Eut
Hance Had Left Town.

Sayreville, n. j., August 13.-0f all
the young men in Sayreyille, none had
more friends than good-looking Peter
Hance. He had come from Brooklyn
with plenty Of letters telling what a
fine young man he was, and 80 he hau
no trouble in getting a responsible po-
sition. He went regularly TO the
Church of Our Lady Of Victories.
There he met many Of the towns pref
test young women, but not one OF
them was prettier than dainty little
Julia Laugherty.
To Julia he paid devoted court.
When the fateful moment came she
said "Yesi" and six months ago the
engagement was formally announced.
To-day was set for the wedding
day. AS the hour approached for the
wedding the bridesmaids gathered at
the brides home. They found her
dressed in her wedding fineTy. happi-
" awaiting the ceremony. The BRIDE
groom was 10 join the party at the
house and 90 10 the church with them
Il wonder what can be keeping Pc
ter?" anxiously asked Miss Laugh
erty when IL came time TO start for
the church and the bridegroom had
not yet arrived.
They waited another half hour, but
stiu Hance did not come. Then some
suggested that perhaps he had been
late and had gone straight to the
church. So they all hurried over TO

There they found throng Of wedding

An hour passed in this way. The
guests began to whisper to one an
other and Father Harrington took of
his robes. But still the weeping bride
insisted on waiting. She was sure her
love would come. Another hour pass
ed. John Hance, the bridegroom s
brother, walked into the church with
a long face.
''Is he hurt? Is he dead?" gasped
the poor little bride, turning pale as
her wedding dress.
Neither" replied Hance. You
needn't bother waiting for Pete. He
has left town. l am sorry for you,
Julia"
With moan of agony the bride that
was to have been, turned away from
the church. Her friends surrounded
Hance. Not another word could he
say about his brothers queer act. He
only knew that he had gone for good;
why, he did not tell, even if he knew.
Then the story got around that Miss
Laughtrey was not the first girl that
had been left at the altar by young
Hance. One man declared that he had
played the same trick in Brooklyn.
and the deserted bride that time had
been a Miss Palmer.
II can't believe that Peter has de-
serted me-" protested Miss Laughtrey

At THE GRAVE OF HIS WIFE.
A Man Accused of Murder Attempts
To End His Life.
ne Had Cut His Throat With a
Razor and Is Not Expected to
Live-A Letter Found in Which
He Denied Completely in the
Detrick Double Murder.

Bellefontaine, Ohio, August 1S.-Ex-
element was at fever heat in this city
this morning on account of the body OF
Lew Deerwester, who was on Tuesday
night arrested on suspicion of having
been implicated in the DERRICK double
murder, being found in Blue Jacket
cemetery. The general opinion now is
that Deerwester, together with an ac-
complice. committed the shocking crime
which came to light Monday morning.
Dearwester, who was found on his
wife's grave this morning, attempted
suicide by cutting his throat with d
razor, the razor having been found
some distance from where the Dody was
living. Some still think that he was as
saulted by his accomplice in the awtui
crime charged. Deerwester is uncoh-
scious and still living, and slight hopes
are held for his recovery. He is IN
stupor and cannot talk. A notebook
belonging to the dying man was found
in the cemetery. 1t contained the fol-
lowing denial, signed in Deerwester 5
own handwriting, and this makes the
verdict of suicide stronger than ever.
The denial reads as follows:
Dear Friends: You are accusing me
Of a deed l did not do, and rather than
disgrace my people l will take my life.
So goodbye to all my dear friends for
ever. God forgive me for this. l
would rather die than be disgraced. L
have harmed nobody; have no one to
live for. All that were dear to me are
gone. Farewell to ALL.
LEWIS DEERWESTER.
The book also contained a note and
a piece of cedar from his wife's grave.
The apparently dead body of the man
was found by Mrs. Frank Grey and
Jacob Dunson.
At $50 the almost lifeless body OF
Deerwester was taken to the county
jail in an ambulance. Detective John
#. Norris, who caused the arrest, will
endeavor to get confession out OF the
man. Nearly a thousand people are
surrounding the Jail. Miss Kate Kay
lor of Blue Jacket Mills, while on her
way to Bellefontaine last evening saw
a man on his knees in the cemetery,
but thinking it some one waiting to get
into the school house to stay all night,
she thought nothing of the matter, It
is now known that 1t was Deerwester.
