THE INCREASE OF IMPORTS.
A Large Part OF Foreign Products

The manufacturers of the United states

rials amounted to almost one-half OF the
total importations. if there are included
under this term the importations classi-
fed by the Bureau of Statistics as ''arti-
cles wholly or partially manufactured for
use in the manufactures and mechanic

The total importations in the month of

ALASKAN POSTAL SERVICE.
A Report From the Chief Clerk AT
ST, Michael.

F. G. Kimball, chief clerk of the postal
station at st. Michael, Alaska. has written
the Postoffice Department of the first de-
livery to Cape Nome. 'As no provision
had been made for any mail service to
Nome" he says, Il advertised to take all
letter mail from there to ST. Michael to
connect with the January trip. / left
Nome on December II with dog team and
reached ST Michael on December %. thir-
teen days actual travelling. Owing to the
fact that a number OF private carriers had
been advertising to carry out mail for
from 81 TO 81 per letter, | found ii diff
cult to convince people that l could take
letters out for the regular rates of post
age. As a result | had only about 500
ordinary letters and nine registers.
Nome has at present, in my opinion,
about 1.200 inhabitants, two weekly pa
pers. twenty-five saloons, and other lines
of business represented in the proportion
usually found in lively mining town."

The Administration and Kentucky.

1t may be set down as a fixed fact that
the political situation in Kentucky is
giving the Administration a great deal Of
worry The time approaches when the de-
cision of the highest State court Will leave
TAYLOR no alternative but surrender or
armed insurrection, and if the individual
in question is tc be believed, he viii
choose the latter.
There is perhaps justification for some
suspicion that all this talk Of resistance
on Taylor's part is merely INDUCED in for
the purpose of concealing a real intention
to get across the river into Indiana. from
which State. il is announced. Governor
Mount would refuse TO deliver him to Ken
tucky justice. The leading detective in
the hunt for Governor Goebel's murderers
is reported as declaring that nothing but
suicide can save Taylor from the gallows.
II is a fairly reasonable inference from
recent developments in the assassination
conspiracy business that he viii try 10
escape before any attempt is made to ar
rest him That may not be as easy as it
looks. inasmuch as Taylor is about as
thoroughly Swallowed as a man could be.
