OUR CoMMERcIAL GROWTH.

The United States seems likely to
stand at the head OF the worlds list of
exporting nations in the year 1909. One
by one the great nations have fallen be-
hind in the race for this distinction un-
til during the past five years only the
United Kingdom and the United States
could be considered as competitors for
the distinction Of being the worlds
greatest exporter OF articles Of home
production. In 1894 the United King
dom led the United States by nearly
$3.50. GOO, 600, and in 1897 the United States
had so rapidly gained that she was but
$50 coo, 600 behind.
In 1888 the United States took first
place, our exports in that year exceed
ing those of the United Kingdom by
nearly $1Oo. OO0. 900. In 1899 the United
Kingdom again stood at the head Of the
list. her exports exceeding those of the
United States by nearly $35, OO0, 900. In
the eleven months of 1900, whose figures
have been received by the treasury
bureau Of statistics, the domestic ex-
ports of the United States exceed those
of the United Kingdom by S.. 473.670. and
should this rate of gain be maintained
in December the United States will in
the year 1900 show a larger expectation
OF domestic products than any other ma

TEACHERS IGNORANT,
Claimed SO Per Cent Can Not
Write a Succinct Application.

Supt. J. F. Dyche, Of Horton, created a
stir this morning at the State Teachers
association, when he spoke upon the
phase of '',rhe school in relation to the
functions of the institutions of society
in the education Of the Individual"
His speech was radical. He said that
a large percent of the business men,
students in colleges and other people
We're unable to write a clear and con-
else letter.
This did not startle the teachers, but
when he said that "ninety-nine per cent.
of the school teachers of the state are
not competent to do better than the
average merchant" and that ~'they can
not write a succinct application for a
position teaching school," it created q
sensation, and although he was not met
with an outburst of indignation the ap-
plause came from scattered parts of the
house, and lacked enthusiasm.
Before the meeting was adjourned
Mr.. e. r. Fairchild, president of the
association, took occasion to make q
few remarks in refutation of the charges
of incoTnpetency made against the Kan
sas teachers. and said that there is
nowhere a state where the teachers are
more intelligent and scholarly than in
Kansas"

MAIL ROBBERY.
Pouch Containing 100000
Stolen at Detroit.

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 2S.-The Michigan
Central depot at Wyandotte, d suburb
of Detroit, was the scene of a bold mail
robbery some time last night, when a
pouch containing. it is estimated, $780,
900 of negotiable bonds, checks and
money was stolen from the waiting
room. Two sacks of mail and a pouch
of second class matter were dropped
on the platform by a south-bou Mich
igan Central train at 1923 o'clock
Night Operator Richer it is supposed
took the two bags and instead of carry
ing them to the ticket Office allowed
them to remain in the waiting room.
Richer lives in Detroit. Richer was
ignorant of the fact today that one Of
the bags had been stolen until his at
tention was called to it by Day Operator
Carl, and afterwards by an old peddler
Bessie, who found the rified mail sack
behind a tank about 200 feet from the
depot

THE CHINESE PLAN.
A Counter Peace Proposition L. Now
Looked For.

4AOOk6Q r o.
Washington, Dec. cS.-The Chinese
embassy here is without information on
the reports that the Emperor kWang ~
does not approve the demands submit
ted by the powers. For some days, how
ever, the view has prevailed In Chinese
quarters that the terms were SO harsh
that it would be difficult to secure their
acceptance. A report was in circulation
in diplomatic quarters that one or the
Chinese ENJOYS was opposed to accept
ing the terms but it is not known
whether this report come from any
authoritative source. It was understood
also that Ii Hang Chang's illness might
have some effect in retarding the nego-
tiat1ons.
The state department has received
nothing from Minister Conger to the eff
feet that the. emperor opposes the ac-
ceptance of the peace terms. The Off
Gals here continue to be hopeful that
there will be ar early acceptance. The
points referred to as Objectionable to the
Chinese, chiefly the maintenance of le-
cation guards, are not regarded here as
likely to form serious barriers in an
will give visible evidence at an early day
of their purpose to reduce the legation
guard as soon as China shows good faith
in accepting the conditions.
In some diplomatic quarters it is be-
ieved that the reported opposition of the
emperor viii not lead to q rejection of
the demand, but to the submission of a
counter proposition of inquiry from Chi
ma This IS considered the natural course
of diplomatic controversy and it would
have the advantage to China of saving
her rights to accept the terms at a lat
ter period, while in the meantime seek
ing to reduce their severity.
