FAVORS EXPANSION.
Senator John m. Thursfon ReVises
 His Views.

Washington, Nov. 3O.-Senator John NJ. Thurston of Nebraska, after several conferences with the president, seems to have changed his views concerning the acquisition Of the Philippines. In an interview today, he said:
 he west seems to be almost unani- nous for the acquisition Of the Philip pines. l have chased myself as one of the conservatives. l opposed Hawaiian annexation because of an inherent dread of extending our dominion be- yond the western hemisphere, and l had hoped that it would not be neces- sary to carry the warfare into the dis tant possessions of Spain. But the emergencies of war took our flag there, and I don't think we can or ought to shirk the manifest duty that our vic tory brings us. To turn the Philip pines back to Spain, her barbarity and her oppression, would shock the en- frightened sentiment of Christendom.
 If the people of the Philippines were fitted for self government, 1 would fla vor the establishment of their indepen- dence, but they are not, and I there fore will endorse the acquisition of the Philippine group.
 q don't believe the policy of eXpan sion can injure the chances of republi can success, although many of our best statesmen in both parties are opposed to it. The great manufacturing inter- ests of the east, so powerful politically, all seem to favor the enlarged trade op- portunities which we will receive.
 "I think we can afford to open these new possessions to free trade relations with the whole world, and by so doing we can undoubtedly command similar free trade relations with European pos sessions in Asia.
 II think we all agree on the great value of the acquisition of Porto Rico, and look without fear and with com piacency on the ultimate annexation of Cuba. These islands are so near our shores and SC completely command the gulf situation that their annexation is really on no different basis than that of other territory we have acquired on the American continent.
 "I dC1't look for immediate annexa- ton of Cuba. but believe we will make good cur pledge to hold and establish a stable and independent government there.''
 The senator does not believe that an extra session will be necessary.
 My idea he said, is that the busi- ness interests Of the country feel per fectly safe, knowing that both branches Of congress are sound on the money question, and that whatever financial legislation is necessary can be enacted when congress meets next year."

GRATIFYING PRESENTATION.
Remarkable Excess of Exports Over Imports as Compared With the Trade Relation During the Two Pre-
 Ceding Years.

Washington, Nov. 30.-(Special) J.
 Some interesting facts concerning our
 present commerce with Great Britain
 are shown by the October statement, Trade and Navigation of the United Kingdom" just received by the treas
 ury bureau of statistics. This shows
 that despite the small purchases which the people of the United States are
 making from Great Britain, our sales to that country continue to increase.
 In nearly all of the great classes of
 goods for which our producers are
 seeking a market abroad, the OcaobeT importatiOns into the United Kingdom from the United States were in excess
 of those in preceding years, while the exports Of manufactures from the
 United Kingdom to the United States were in most cases smaller than those in earlier years.
 Imports of bacon from the United States in October, 1898, were All, $40 pounds sterling in value, against 363,- 9S4 in October, 1897; those of hams, 303,635 pounds sterling in October, 1898, against 197.5S8 in October of last year; of butter, 34, 097 pounds sterling in Oc- tOber, 1898, against 30, FPS in October, 1927; lard, 206,13 pounds sterling in 0tober, 1898, against 1867 in Octo- Der of last year; flour, GAO, ,164 pounds sterling in October, 1898, against 521,- 595 in Octcbsr, 1887; oats, 178,S ,S27 in October, 1898, agains. I23, TAP pounds sterling Tn October, 1897: copper, un- wrought and part wrought, 129, ,66 pounds sterling in October, 1898, against 73,931 in October Of last year; lead, Il 037 pounds sterling in October, 1898, against SC, 6,511 iD October, 1897; taIlow, 8 660 pounds sterling, against 3,429 in October of last year: hewn wood and timber. 54 012 pounds ster- ling, against 37,714 in October. 1897; wood, sawn, split pIaned or dressed, 134, ,657 pounds sterling, against 91,869 1T October. Of last year; leather, 274,- 683 pounds sterling, against 175, 723 in October, 1897.
 On the other hand, the exports from Great Britain to the United States are in nearly all eases smaller than in Oc- tober, 1896, and in many eases smaller than in October, 1897, despite the fact that they were abnormally small in that month because of the excessive importations in the months just pre- ceding the enactment of the revenue law in July of that year. Exports of wool to the United States in October, 1898, were valued at 13,611 pounds sterling, against 25,44S in October, 1897; those of cotton piece goods were 5, ,293, 200 yards, against 3,341, 700 yards in October, 1897, and 3,447, 200 yards in October, 1896; woolen tissues showed an increase over October of last year, but a very great fall. compared with October, 1896, the totals for October, 1898, being TABOO yards, against 29,200 in October, 1S97 and 467, 900 in October, 1896. The exports of worsted tissues were 693, 500 yards in October, 1898, against 4s9, 300 in October, 1897, and 1 ,355, 400 in October, 1896. The exports of hardware from Great Britain to the United States in October, 1898. were } ,161 pounds sterling, against 1888 in
