listening to them and seeing the facial
expressions Of the narrators cannot be
faithfully transferred from memory
or notes to paper and type.
Ex-senator Charles + Mandersoq, Of
Nebraska, who served for l2 years, a
part Of the time being vice president
pro tempore Of the United States SEN
ate, was always an entertaining gentle
man, and is always welcomed by many
friends when he visits this city. He vol
unfairly retired from public life, say

spent about $4,000 more than my sal

This superior man recently visited
Washington. and called upon bis old
friend, Senator Shoup, Of Idaho, who
lives in the same hotel with the eorre-
spondent Of this paper, Having been
invited to join the gentlemen for the
evening, three hours of genial compan-
ionship ensued, during the course Of
which Senator Manderson narrated
many instances of his busy life, He
said;

breadstuffs and pulse. OF these canned
goods with an average annual value of
$l46,671, and wines, with an annual av-
eIage value of S11s,5s6, formed the chief
items. -.
Of the non-agricultural products, of
which Spain exported to the Philip
pines an average annual average value
OF S4,631,7s7 during the years men
toned, the most important items were
cotton fabrics and cotton yarn and
thread, their combined values for 1892
1896 averaging as high as $3,014,004 per
annum, which was nearly GO per cent.
OF the total valuation placed upon ex-
ported merchandise. The exports of
cotton fabrics alone formed over As per

pared by the British consul at Manila.
From 1880 to 1894, however the Philip
pine trade is shown by Spanish figures
to have decreased from $+4.042,Sl5 to
$16,j41, ,Sl2.
During that time our trade with the
Philippines has decreased from $t2,-
534,s56 to $4,47S,3 ,337 in 1897. OF these
latter figures all is an import trade with
the heeXception ofthe insignificant sum Of
S94,507.
Now that we have taken the place of
Spain in the government Of the islands,
and may rightfully look for an increase
of our trade with them it is of interest
TO note what we have been buying and
what Spain has been selling during the
past few years at least,
OF the trade between Spain and the
Philippines there are no records since
1896, and as space forbids any attempt
at covering Il large number of years
those of 1S92-1S96 will suffice. The av-
Crage imports of the islands from the
mother country during those years
amounted TO $5,174,002 per annum. OF
this amount only about ten per cent, or
S542,@15, was of agricultural products.

TTAOR several years past Spain has
III been slowly killing the CONNER
II eial Importance Of the Philip
pine islands by a greedy tarif policy
that practically was prohibitive for the
merchants of all countries excepting
Spain. The worst features Of this poll
les, enacted in 1890, did not help Spain
in proportion 10 the harm it did Great
Britain, the United States and China.
While the trade with the Philippines
of all these countries. with the exeep-
tioI, of Spain, was diminished MATERIAL
" by the customs laws Of that year, vet
the trade of Spain did not increase in
anything like the proportion that the
others diminished. A continuation of
such policy for the islands would have
ineritably resulted in their retardment.
In fact, that has been the case during
the past IS years, and especially during
the past ten years. There are no official
figures of the entire commerce Of the
Philippines since 1894, and the most re-
liable data since that time is that pre-

As previously stated. our trade with
the Philippine islands has been pract-
cally imports, the exports to the islands
being SO small as to be of but little i'm
portance to either ourselves or our COM
petitors in the worlds commerce.
Our imports from the Philippines CON
sist principally of Manila hemp and
sugar, the most important agricultural
products of the islands. These two ar
tieles, taken together, comprise in value
fully 0S per cent. of all the merchandise
imported in our Philippine trade dur
ing the past ten years, 1sSS-1s97. Among
the other leading products Of the is
lands imported into the United States
are coffee, indigo and tobacco. The
most important manufactured articles
received from that source are plated
hats, cigars, and vegetable oil called
ylang-ylang. Hides and skins and dye
woods were formerly purchased from
the Philippines in considerable guam
titles, but the importation of these COM
modities during recent years has been
extremely small.
During the last decade our importa-
tion of Manila hemp has steadily in-
creased. During 1897 it amounted to

Permission to Leave Cars in the
street Granted.
The manager of the City and Suburban
Railroad Company has written to the Com
missioners requesting permission to con-
tinue parking two of their cars at the
corner of Fourth and Streets northeast
until the first of the year. This action is
taken on account of the lack OF facilities
at lexington for properly storing the
cars. When the car sheds belonging TO this
company were burned last winter the man
ager requested permission of the Com
missioners TO allow two of their cars to
remain on the tracks at the corner of
Fourth and T Streets from midnight until
s a. N. in order that there might be
transportation facilities for the residents
of this city desiring to go into the country
surrounding the District, at that point,
without putting the railroad company 10
a great Inconvenience.
The permission was granted on the con-
dition that the cars be parked side by
side on the two tracks with the headlights
and an incandescent light on the trolley
pole burning until morning. as a warning,
TO drivers and pedestrians. of the obstruc-
ton in the road. The request received
recently is made on the same conditions
and the Commissioners have recommended
that the necessary permit be granted.
