TRADE WITH CHINA.
American Vessels Almost Unknown IN
the Asiatic Ports--A HumilIat-
Ing Situation.

WASHINGTON. June 2.-Unlted
states Consul General Goodnow. at
Shanghai has transmitted to the state
department an interesting statement
IN regard 70 the Chinese commerce last
year. which the consul says was char
acterized by an astonishing develop
ment.
The net value Of the import trade
for 1899 was slSs s,iOS.77s, double that Of
1880. The importation OF opium was
over a million pounds in excess cf the
imports during the proceeding year.
The trade In cotton goods. which had
remained practically stationary for
three years. made great advance,
rising from $5i255,5 in 1895. to s73-
5u.sl7. In piece goods. great In
crease In the imports Of American
product was noted. although Il was
considerably checked by the high
prices ruling during the last quarter OF
the year,
The importation OF sundrles rose
from ssG, ,65s, ,i67 to s7O.3ls, 726. The value
Of the -four imported was s2,26s,l5 and
all Of Il came from the United States.
The value of last years exports from
China is estimated at $1S9,lO5,12S. and
this amount. as Il the case Of the Inn
ports, is more than double that shown
In 1890. china's exports. Il is said, are
at present checked by price and infe-
rior quality, due respectively to the
cost Of transportation and the heavy
taxation and to adulteration and faulty
methods Of preparation. Prices will
come down and the demand for Chi
nese wares increase, says the consul,
when railways bring the goods more
cheaply and the government takes
steps TO prevent the adulteration now
rampant. The expectation Of tea to
the United States was five million
pounds in excess OF the amount sent
out in 1898,
1t is a humlliating fact" says Consul
General Goodnow, that OF the. total
tonnage OF vessels entering and clear
ing from Chinese ports last year, the
United States only contributed one per
cent OF the total tonnage. the American
flag iloated over only three per cent.

LONDON LETTER.
Gossip From the Great Metropolis
Little Bobs May Be Made a
Duke by the Queen.

Copyright, 1900, the Associated Press)
LONDON, June Popular opinion
las proclaimed the advent of victory
and whatever happens henceforth in
South Africa the interest of the British
rublio win be little, unless the event
is endorsed by a peculiarly personal
element.
The nation has made up its mind
that the war is over, that the prestige
Of British arms is restored. that Pres
ident Kruger is vanquished, that price
less territory has been annexed. thai
humanity has not been staggered and
that, led by that little Sir Galahad
''Bobs," Great 6ritain's army has full
filled the most optimistic expectations
1t is scarcely surprising in view OF
the bewildering rapidity of Lord Rob-
erts' progress during the past week
that the anxiety attendant on the in
itial reverse of the war is completely
forgotten in the jubllation of today OF
that the troubles still ahead of the
army in South Africa scarcely receive
a thought.
Nevertheless among the few more
serious minded who have intimate
knowledge Of the Beers and the plans
of the war office, there exist grave APP
prehensions of developments in the
near future. In the systematic retreat
Of the Beers they see the possibility of
long drawn out guerrilla fighting, tricks
into Rhodesia. internal disorganization
in the Transvaal due to the bandits
and a thousand and one lawless ele-
ments that evolve themselves from a
heterogeneous army after it ceases to
become an organized body.
Some of the acute authorities on
South African matters say Major-Gen-
eral Frederick Carrington's work in
Rhodesia may only begin when Lord
Roberts finishes. Such speculation,
however can only be left for time to
prove and this war, so far, has abound
ed in surprises which have complete
ly upset the surmises of those best flt-
ted to express opinions. Probably the
most reasonable forecast of immediate
developments in the Transvaal can be
gained by reviewing the events in the
Free State. or Orange River Colony,
There, though the country is formal
" annexed and is subject to a winnow-
ing process by a long line of British
troops, virile opposition still exists.
The preponderance of numbers is bound
to eventually reduce the inhabitants to
subjection and so it will be, probably
with the Transvaal, the occupation of
Pretoria and johannesburg being fol-
lowed by operations similar to those
uninteresting movements now UNDER
taken.
The personal status Of President Kru-
ger since he left the capital is creating
some discussion. A representative Of
the Associated Press learns that Lord
Salisbury win consider him to be pres
ident Of the South African republic un-
