TRADE WITH JAPAN.

Jnlan's foreign trade la
grown in late years like the
prOverGial gourd of Jonah.
Some new light, however, has
recently been thrown by a re-
port of the British Foreign
Office upon the direction which
the commerce of that interest
ing Oriental country has taken.
While the total imports into ia
pan increased in value from -, =
324, 776 yen in 1892 to 277,27O,-
728 yen in 1S9S--nearly four
fold-the imports of ioodstuifs
during the same period show an
increase from 14,645, 800 yen in
the former year to 81, 500, 062 in
the latter-mOre than six fold.
This signifies that Japan is
being gradually transformed
from an agricultural into an in
dustrial nation. To what ex-
tent Great Britain and the
United States have relatively
shared in this growing trade is
shown by the following table
supplied by the British Foreign
Office report, the values being
expressed in yen:
Imports from 1890 1897 1898
Great Britain. 266l9 lO2 65,4OG, 2G6 G2,7O7 ,567
United stOtos... 6s74.53l, 27OaO,537 4c,GOl, Os2
If the United States trade
with Japan shall continue to
show the ratio of increase in
the above tabulation, our ex-
ports to Japan will soon exceed
those of any of our competitors.
This little statistical story
points the moral that terrific
rial expansion is not the only
way by which fbreign markets
can be captured. Republic.

ANU SEMENTS.

COLUMBIA THEATER.-A large au
dience saw Joe Hurst, Gentleman" at the
Columbia Theater last night and was highly
entertained" The play is by Mrs. Frances
Hodgson Burnett whose manner of hand
ling the English language often makes up
by its correctness and eaTnestness for any
lack of brilliancy. Joe Hurst, Gentleman
however, is not a play which depends upon
ep;gramratic elegance. 1t is d dialect
drama of the deepest dye. AS one cockney
character after another steps upon the
stage and talkS-f0r Mrs. Burnett is d
great believer in words-the atmosphere
seems to become Surchargcd with dis o.
Gated his, which wander almless!y through
space. But they are good, interesting peo-
pie, who manage to avoid drifting too far
into melodraE2a in the serious scenes and
into farce when comedy is intended. That
is to say, they are ell good, except hair
dresser with checked clothes and lady
member Of the Eng ish nobility who is not
only very cold nerCcnary and hard heart
ed, but very tactlesS and unWary, conSid
erng how muct past she has had. The
lady is peculiarly unamia5,e, and it is to
be suspected that # she had not been one
of the undoubted aristocracy the auLhoress
would have punished her severely. AS it
was. the liberty was taken of making her
apologize TO the heroine in the last act. The
central idea of the play is not novel, but
IL Is one of the substantial sort, containing
strong appeal to the better sentiments
there need he no impression of triteness.
Joe Hurst, the uneducated proprietor OF a
wax works show, gives his daughter, who
has not seen him since childhood, every
advantage and is mistaken by her for
servant when she at last comes home The
self-sacrifce of the old Snowman in keep
ing up the delusion is portrayed by Mr..
Digby Bell with wonderful success The
discretion with which he refrained from
making his comedy TOO broad without fail
ure to give the character the rugged
strength essential to 1t was something of
a surprise to those who had not seen him
since he was the dashing. dazzling por-
trayer of irresponsible personages in comic
opera. The work which Mr.. Bell does in
this place is calculated to provoke wonder
meDt that he was ever so successful in the
frivolous atmosphere of Spangles and cory
phees, for his style and temperament con-
spicuously adapt him to such simple, Iowa
bic characters as Joe Hurst. Laura Joyce
Bell has a genial part-that of woman
we'll up in years, deficient in education
kindly and sympa thetic. She plays it unob-
trusively and well. 1t Is not to be assumed
that Joe Hurst is intended to have any
problematic purpose, as the interma rriage
of families in the waX-fgure business and
members of the peerage is hardly to be COM
does admirably for a certain school of fic-
ton. And the intimation at the close of
the play that 'it Is safe to trust the future
to kind young hearts" although it sounds
something like proverb, is not wholly
convincing. But the audience is CAD to
see the lassie made happy with the hus-
band of her choice, and the prospects of a
wedding Is glad one. although there is
every reason for foreboding that the RS
