TROOPS FOR MANILA.

Next Expedition will Cross the Allan
tic Ocean Instead of Pacific.
New York, Dec. IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says;
The next regiments to start for Manila
will EN- bark at New York about the
end of this month and will 90 through
the Suez canal. The expedition will
consist OF three regiments of regular in
fantry, distributed between two of the
largest converted transports owned by
the government, with perhaps convoy
of two warships. Arrangements are
now being made for this expedition by
AdjutantGeneral Corbin as rapidly as
possible, in view of its great import
ance, and especially as it involves CO.
operation by the state and navy de-
partment authorities, as we'll as those
of the war department.
The decision to use New York as the
point Of embarkation instead OF San
Francisco, whence all the earlier forces
started for the Philippines, was reached
by General Corbin after careful re-
view of a number of considerations,
chief among which was the urgency
for haste. The early completion OF the
treaty of peace with Spain renders in
dispensable prompt increase OF the
American forces. not only at Manila
but to provide additional garrisons for
important centers in the archipelago
which will Immediately fall under
American domination with its accom-
panying responsibility for the security
of life and property.
AT the present time the government
is wholly without available transports
in the Pacific ocean to meet the emer'
gency. The dispatch of two vessels
from the Atlantic, it is believed, VIII
therefore be particularly advantageous
for the double purpose of bringing
home from Manila such volunteers as
can soon be spared, and increasing the
transport fleet in the Pacific. Ihe
three regiments of regulars have nO'
been selected, but as none but tllose
now in New York state and other Az
lantic garrisons can be spared, the con-
clusion was forced upon the authorltles5
that economy as well as rapidity ol
action required them to be sent by way
of the Mediterranean instead OF Jour
neying across the contlpent and then
undertaking the trying and monotonOu,
voyage on the Pacific with no haven o.
rest after leaving Hawaii. !,

GROWTH OF AMERICA
AS SHOWN BY THE STATISTICS OF
COMMERCE
The Steady Growth Of United States
Production and Business Causes
Consular Comment

NEW YORK, Aug. ia special to the
Tribune from Washington says
The rapid gain of the United States In her
invasion of the commerce Of the world is
discussed by the British Con-
sui at Stockholm. Sweden, by the aid OF an
important series of statistical tables just
issued by the Swedish government, cover
ing the commerce and production OF the
world in a series Of five-year periods. These
tables have attracted much attention by
reason of the extensive resources and are
discussed by Consul Constable In special
report to the British government, copy of
which has Just reached the Treasury Bu-
reau of Statistics. In this report he conf
pares the production and commerce of the
leading nations, and through his analysis Of
the gain or loss which they have made pre-
eents an interesting picture Of the growth
OF the chief producing and commercial in
terests of the United States in comparison
with that of other great nations. This an
alysis, coming from these unprejudiced
sources, is especially interesting In view Of
It's favorable showing relative to the pro-
duction and commerce of the United States.
The principal pig iron producing countries
are given as France, Germany, Great Brit
ain and the United States. In the quin-
uuennial period, 1ST-75, the average annual
production of France was 1,265 900 tons and
In the period 1876, 100000; Germany In
creased from an average of 1,946,O00 tons in

to a Kansas City bank in which he had
money deposited TO send him $500 to the

Great Britain Increased from an annual av-
erage Of 6,5e2 900 tons in the 1s71-5 period to
1851, 900 per annum in the 1915 term; while
the United States Increased from an aver
age annual production of 900 in the
ISIS period to an average of S,26S,O0O tons
per annum in the 1875 period.
Commenting upon this, Consul Constable
says:
During this period 1t appears that Great
Britain and Ireland's proportional share In
the worlds production of pig iron has sunk
from 4O3 per cent to 27.5 per cent, while on
the other hand the United States has in
creased it's proportion of output from 16.1
per cent to 800 per cent"
The production Of iron ore Is also discuss.
ed In table which shows that the average
annual production of iron ore In the United
States in the period of 1875 was IA, ,2S8, ,OOl
tons, against IL, ,249, 900 tons in Great Brit
ain and ireland; II, ,679, 900 in Germany, 6,34S,
900 in Spain and 1861, 900 in France.
The estimated average yearly production
of wheat in Germany. the United States.
the British colonies and dependencies fol
all nations shows. according to Constable't Z
analysis, that "the United States are
prOQuCinB uedTiy OHc-uItHs Tue bEItisu COZ
onies somewhat more than one-eighth and
Germany less than one-twentieth Of the
total production Of wheat throughout the
world"
The table showing the average yearly out
put Of gold and silver for Germany, the
United States and British colonies and de-
tendencies is also analysed by Consul Con-
stable, in a single sentence in which he
says:
''Thus the United States and British col.
onies together produce somewhat more
than one-half of the total annual output
of gold and nearly one-half the annual out
put Of silver throughout the world"
A further analysis OF the table indicates
that the United States alone produces about
% per cent Of the gold Of the world and of
silver IS per cent
The percentage Of increase Of population
in the leading countries, as shown in the
tables, places the increase in population in
the United States during the last ten years
at "a per cent, the British colonies and de-
tendencies increased 10 per cent. Germany

Powerless as she was, the ex- l4ilaration of the race took possession of her: she caught herself encourag- ing the animal with her voice; she forgot the pain in her wrists, the very real danger in which she was placed. She thrilled with delight as she flashed by wagon whose occupant had pru- dently driven into the ditch to afford her a clear right of way. He called out warning to her, but, though she heard his voice, the words were indis- tinguishable.

XIV.


 While we physicians busted ourselves in the room in which the injured man lay, making such preparations as were in our power for the grim event on the result of which a life depended, Dorothy Gray was driving briskly along the Bassettville road. The task she had undertaken was simple, but none the less important for that fact; she had merely to cover more than score of miles in the shortest time possible. For many girls of her acquaintance the undertaking would have been the easlest thing imaginable; and with a good deal of envy she recalled the skill shown by one or two of her friends on occasions when the moving cause was nothing more weighty than chance to display prowess as a whip. Unfortun- ately for her, she had seldom held the reins over anything more spirited than the lazy animals occasionally hired by her aunt on a specific guarantee. that in no way could they be started out of a slow trot, hardly faster than the walk for which all of them evinced a strong preferences; and, although she had gained a very fair understanding of the idiosyncrasies of the roadster in front of her, her knowledge had the drawback of being for the most part theoretical. Still, she had not begun the journey without duly considering it's conditions, and, on the whole, they were favorable to a novice. The road was good, though here and there very narrow, as is some times the case with rural highways; there were no sharp pitches of the kind to shake untrained nerves; and the horse, so far as she knew, was utterly unacquainted with the equine joys of bolting. Not to press him at first that was her plan, for much haste might mean little speed in the end
 For the first half-mile she drove al- most 1eisurely, but when she had reached the top of the ridge which bor- dered the lowlands along the shore she frightened the reins little, and felt in stantly the roadster's response to the summons. He settled down to the work before him as if he liked it, with the long telling strides which covered ground with such deceptive ease. A quarter of a mile ahead was a buck board bearing two passengers and drawn by a horse which, she saw as she came closer, was trotting steadily. It surprised her to observe how rapid ly she overhauled the other conveyance, even when the driver, after look over his shoulder, piled his whip with the evident intention of giving her chase. A few hundred yards showed him the hopelessness of the contest, and, with native courtesy and perhaps a shrewd guess that his own wheels would be the safer by allowing the stranger a generous share of the road, he pulled his vehicle well out of the way as she sped by him. She caught look of cu- riosity on his face as she turned in her seat to watch her swift progress.
 There was just the tinge of excite ment in the ride to make her forget for time the sorry cause of it. The coolness of approaching evening was
