OUR RIVAL IN COMMERCE..
Comparison of Exports of England
and the United States.

Washington. March 19.-Ambassador
Choate's recent remark that the United
States and the United Kingdom would
doubtless continue friendly rivalry in
regard to the worlds commerce is quite
justified by the latest figures on the COM
merce of the two countries as supplied by
the treasury bureau of statistics.
These figures show that the exports of
domestic merchandise from the United
States In the eight months ending with
February, amount to $S29, 1885, 141 and those
from the United Kingdom amount to $97s,-
960,427 In the calendar year, 1898, the do
nestle exports from the United States
amounted TO $1,233, 564, S2S, while those of
the United Kingdom amounted to $1,131,
944 ,331. The year 1898, was the first in which
the domestic exports from the United
States exceeded the domestic exports from
the United Kingdom.
On only two occasions prior to 1885, have
the domestic exports oil the United States
exceeded a billion dollars, while those of
the United Kingdom have constantly ex-
ceeded billion dollars through the past
twenty years. The latest year in which her
exports of domtstic merchandise fell below
the billion dollar line was 1879, when they
amounted to 1928, 929 .026 In 1879 our own
exports of merchandise amounted to $751;
COG. 755
Thus in the twenty years since 1879 the
figures show an increase of but % per
cent. in the domestic exports of the United
Kingdom and of 60 per cent. in those of
the United States, apparently quite justi-
flying Ambassador Choates assertion that
the United States would continue to be
rival, though a friendly one, OF the United
Kingdom in its relations with the com
mercial world.
That the rivalry has been and is friend
ly one even to the extent of cordiality, is
shown by the fact that despite our rapid
Increase in the supplies which we are Of
fering to the markets of the world, Great
Britain continues to take a proportionate
share of that increase.
Our exports OF domestic merchandise to
the United Kingdom in 1879 amounted 10
S346 4s5 SSl, and in 1898 were 1884, 1896, 3O2. an
increase of "a per cent; while as already
shown, our general exports increased SO
per cent. during that period This is the
more striking and worthy of remark in
view of the fact that our own imports
from the United Kingdom have not in
creased at the rate her purchases from the
United States have grown.
Indeed the imports into the United States
from the United Kingdom in 1898 are no
greater than they were twenty years ago.

Holden. Me-, Special to New York Sun.
This town is the owner of a hearse that
is out of job. It Is a good hearse, only
years old clean, bright and as good as
new but in spite of ats apparent attrac-
tiveness and in spite of the fact that IL cost
the town $3.50, 1t has not carried a coffin
or led a funeral procession for more than
four years.
Until five years ago It was the most pop
ular and widely employed hearse in North
ern Hancock county, and was hired by
people in Eddington, Dedham and Cliff
ton. One day the driver, having taken q
body TO Brooklyn for intern1ent saw a
chance to turn an honest dollar by bring
ing back load of salt fish Then the
trouble began. The fish didn't harm the
hearse any, and the hearse didn't hurt the
fish. but when the story got out the use
fulness Of the hearse was gone. Those who
had friends TO bury sent to Bangor, ten
miles away, and paid $40 or $15 for hearse
sooner than have the local hearse for moth
ing. The town had the hearse newly paint
ed and vanished hoping to remove the
prejudice, but the fish story held on, and
the village boys threw stones at the hearse
house to show their contempt. In a year
or so the feeling against the hearse became
so strong that men declared in their wills
that their heirs should be disnherited in
case the testators were carried to the
grave in the Holden hearse. Those who
didn't wish 10 mention the hearse got
around it by demanding that their bodies
should be conveyed in a hearse from Ded-
ham or Bangor. These wills were filed M
the probate Office IN Bangor, and before
the property could be divided the heirs
were Obliged to prove that the request re-
garding the hearse had been fulfilled
The affair has caused no end of trouble
and expense, but In spite of the time that
has elapsed the feeling is stronger to-day
than II was five years ago. This spring
there Is an article in the town warrants
ITO see II the town will vote to sell the
hearse." 1t Will be adopted.
