Special TO the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., September %
The rapid growth in exports of man
ufactures of iron and steel and the
simultaneous decrease in the importa-
ton of manufactures of iron and steel
seem to have been coincidental with a
similar growth in the production of pig
iron in the United States. A statement
just prepared by the Treasury Bureau
of Statistics places in parallel columns
the figures showing the growth in the
production of pig iron in the United
States from 1880 to 1898, and the i'm
ports and exports of manufactures OF
iron and steel in the corresponding
years. This shows that the production
of pig iron in the United States has
grown from 1886, 191 tons in 1880, tc
11,773,9S4 tons in 1898, and Mr.. J.
Stephens Jeans, secretary of the Brit
ish Iron Trade Association, estimates
the pig iron production in 1899 at A.
100000 tons. Meantime the export OF
manufactures of iron and steel has
grown from $14,716.524 in the fiscal
year 1880, to $93,715,951 in the fiscal
year 1899, while the importation OF
manufactures of iron and steel has
fallen from ST. 1865 in 1880, to $12,-
099,239 in 1899.

ESTIMATED.


That the growth in the production of
pig iron and in iron and steel manufac-
lures generally is likely to continue for
the present seems to be the concensus
of opinion both in the United States
and elsewhere. The Railway and En-
gineering Review, discussing the phe-
nomenal increase in iron manufactur-
ing in the United States, which shows
an increase of SO per cent in the expor-
tation of iron and steel during the past
year, says that ''the expansion of the
iron and steel making capacity and pro-
lection of new mills and furnaces an
bounced in the trade Journals generally
shows that the year 1900 will be one
OF phenomenal activity and expansion.
There are no evidences that the demand
is being overtaken by the supply. The
fact is known that every furnace and
mill owner has bunch of promises to
keep with anxious consumers which
will take months to fill Secretary
Jeans, of the British Iron Trade Jour
nal, is also quoted as expressing the
belief that the United States will in
1899 produce 100000 tons of pig iron,
as against 11,774,0OO tons last year,
and that she will produce nearly two
fifths of the pig iron of the world.
The following is Mr. Jeans estimate
of the pig iron production of the prin-
cipal iron making countries of the
world for 1899, compared with 1885, 1t
will be seen that the United States is
now the largest producer of pig iron in
the world, being about 40 per cent in
excess of tha Tinted Kingdom

Special Washington Correspondence
WASHINGTON, d. c., September %.
Otis has brought upon the admins
tration an unpleasant complication
with China over the exclusion of Chi
nese from the Philippine Islands. His
exclusion order has been made the sub
ject of vigorous protest from the Chi
nese government, which, in view of the
eager pursuit of Americans for Chinese
trade and concessions, will have to be
given some consideration. Why Otis
thought it necessary to get the United
States into a dispute with China does
not appear, but there is of course no
question as to his authority in the
premises. As military governor he can
make such regulations regarding immi-
grafton as he sees fit, even to excluding
American newspaper correspondents.
The whole matter is one of expediency
simply.
The Chinese question in the Philip
pines has always been burning one
For three centuries the Chinaman has
been a resident of Luzon, and has in
termarried with the natives, but during
the whole of that time he has been the
object of suspicion and the victim Of
official plumbers. Feeling against him,
both on the part of the Spaniards and
- ~ l., - L.
Edicts of exclusion and Punishment
have been pronounced against him
again and again, and the Chinese have
retorted by taking active part in vari-
Gus rebellions. Nevertheless, the Chi
nese are among the most valuable mem
beers of the community. John Fore
man, in his book on the Philippines,
says the Chinese are really the people
who gave the natives the first notions
of trade and industry "They taught
them, amongst many other useful
things, the extraction of saccharine
juice from the sugar cane, the manu-
facture of sugar and the working of
wrought iron"
FOREMAN FURTHER SAYS:
"The frugality, constant activity and
commemorate ambition of the celestial
clashes with the dissipation, incidence
and want of aim in life of the native.
There is absolutely no harmony 'of
thought, purpose or habit between the
Philippine Malay native and the Mon
ese coolies working on coffee, sugar
and other plantations would be frequent

civil power. This was more than forty
years ago, but there are some more re-
cent instances of military injustice. At
the last session Of Congress the Presi-
dent was authorized to reappoint to the
position of paymaster in the navy a
man who had been tried and convicted
Of embezzlement of government funds
The Senate committe which investigat-
ed the case found that the evidence
brought before the court-martial did
not sustain the charge Of embezzlement,
and that the records of the Treasury
Department proved the government ac-
tually Indebted to the Daymaster in a
small amount And yet the Navy De-
partment was unwilling TO rectify this
serious error, even when Congress had
authorized the wrong to be righted, and
protested to the last against the rein
statement of the paymaster. Ensign
Gaynor, of the navy, was not long ago
