OCTOBER EXPORTS.

October exports have broken all monthly rec.
ords in the history Of the commerce Of the
United States, and the ten months Of 1900, end
ing with October, also breaks the record Of ex.
ports for the corresponding period of preceding
years and give assurance that the calendar year
1000 will show the largest exports in the history
Of our foreign commerce. The total exports dur
ing the month Of October, as shown by the
records Of the Treasury Bureau of Statistics,
sl63 O9S5oT, or practically double the exports Of
October. 1884, when they were $S3, 1853, III. Tho
total for the ten months ending with October,
loOO is ,77520j, or practically $500, 900 600
or to be exact, $a99, ,667, ,036; while in the cor.
responding ten months OF 1894 imports exceeded
exports by so8,663, 1863. The year 1900 will for
the first time in the history Of our commerce
show an export OF more than s1O0,OO00O0 valuc
in every month OF the year. while for the first
time single month-october, BO0--passes the
Sl5OOOO,0o0 line being as already stated, $780,
O03, 597, against the highest preceding record Of
Sl34, ,157.225. which was made in March, 1900.
Agriculture, mining and manufactures have
jointly contributed to this enormous increase In
our export business. The details Of the tenth
month Of the year, October, have not yet been
completed, but those for the nine months ending
with September show that agricultural exports
are $5O,000,000 greater in 1000 than in 1900;
manufactures, $50, 900 greater; products of
the mine S7,0OO,OO0 in excess OF the correspond.
ing months of the preceding year. and products
Of the forest s5,OO0,O 900 greater than in tho nine
months of 1900. 1t is especially in raw cotton
and manufactured iron and steel, however, that
the greatest growth is shown. Exports Of cot.
ton in the single month Of October amounted
to over 100000, 1000, against s2s,OOOOOO in octo.

Colonizing Remote Regions.

" n SOME Of it's details the problem
of paciflcation and development
l. which confronts the United
States in the Philippines, says
the Chicago Record, is similar to that
with which the French are striving in
Madagascar. The French find them
selves in power in a tropical country
in which the native population has a
crude civilization of its own. Resist
ance to French rule has not ceased
at any time, though n possibility be-
gins to appear that the large army
of occupation may be reduced slowly
from this time forward. In order to
assume the greatest profit from the
colony it is desired to extend it's COM
merce and develop its industries as
fully as possible. These parallels apply
closely to our own conditions in the
Philippines, and a Franch solution of
one point Of difficulty proves interest
ing.
The Records correspondent in Mar
seilles writes of an effort made by
the French to induce colonization in
of the great island hopes to retain
as settlers in the colony such soldiers
In the army of occupation as can be
tempted to stay after their terms OF
enlistment expire. The men are offered
large land grants and an annual sub
sidy from the French government Of
$43f for two consecutive years. Such
settlers must engage to remain for
three years, to cultivate the land and
to hold themselves in readiness to
serve with the defensive forces in the
event of an attack by hostile natives.
The experiment is proving successful.
the allotments have been cultivated
proiitably under the advice of govern
ment experts and many of the farmers
after the first year send to France
for their families, thus indicating an
intention to stay in the colony where
they are founding their prosperity.
The question arises if the time is
will need to adopt a similar course in
the Philippines. Up to this time virtu-
ally the whole American emigration to
the Philippines has been composed of
few merchants, travelling statesmen,
saloonkeepers and mining prospectors.
Some of the American soldiers whose
time of enlistment has expired have
remained to take up the same en-
pigments or the trades in which they
happened to be skilled. One of the
questions yet to be worked out to an
answer is whether or not the islands
are to be drilled into an American form
OF civilization. II they are 1t cannot
be by the teachings of a few merchants
and shipping agents in the more at
tractive ports, nor yet by the adven-
turous mining prospector. There will

Sam Jones' Strong Points.

REV. DIR. FRANK BRISTOL, pastor of the
Metropolitan church, in Washington, whi,h
is attended by President Mckinley, tells story
which he heard one evening while dining at the
White house with the president and Bishop
Chandler, OF the Methodist church South. The
party was talking about rcvivalists ard rcviyals
and the case of the Unknown eyhorter, Sam
Jones, was brought up.
''The best characterization Of Sam Jones'
preaching l ever heard" said the bishop, "was
that of good colord brother in Virginia. He
had Just heard Jones preach, ard was describing

The Bank Examiner.

LII RECORDS or Dank llleN-
~ ing have probably been
IA broken by the assistant
cashier and bookkeeper of
the German National bank, at
hundred thousand dollars in excess
of the entire capital stock of
the bank. Unlike Note Teller
Alvord, of New York. who had
immense resources to draw upon, this
last good man to go wrong has dis
played most remarkable genius in act
irg in subordinate position and pro-
ducing a shortage more than double
the capital stock of the institution at
which he was employed. Investigation
shows that his transactions have ex-
tended over period Of ten years un-
der the eyes of the officials over him
and the bank examiners who made oc-
casional visits to the German National
and consulted figures and currency.
This circumstance serves to strens-
then the existing doubts Of many as
to the ability of the bank examiner to
accomplish what he is paid to ac-
complish. 1t would seem that in
this last instance at least a bank ex-
aminer should have been able to de-
tect irregularities before the clerk had
succeeded in using up everything in
the bank but the books and furniture.
In the New York defalcation the GRIM
inal had almost unlimited resources to
work upon and ample opportunity to
cover up his peculations, but in the
case of the humble clerk in the country
town it was different The success of
Bookkeeper Brown, of Newport, leads
to repetition of the question, Does
the bank examiner examine?
