Twenty years ago the United States
imported manufactured iron and steel
to the amount OF s63.s5s,S5s and export
ed less than one-fourth of that amount
or to De exact, s15,422,S74 worth. In
the year 1899 the imports had dwindled
TO sl5.7sO.2Oo and the exports of the
same materials had swelled to s1OJ, ,6Ss,-
GAS. These figures. covering the two ends
Of twenty-year period, let a flood of
light upon the industrial revolution
that had taken place in this country.
We have not only ceased to depend
upon the rest of the world for iron and
steel in any form or considerable guam
tity, but we have become an exporting
nation on large scale in these COM
modities. The chief revolution has
taken place in the last half Of the twen-

ty-year period. In the calendar year
1870 our exports Of iron and steel were
but Ss7.OOO,OOO while the imports were
$4a54Ll40 The last ten-year period has
seen the imports decrease two-thirds,
and the reports increase fourfold in
value. II this ratio be maintained dur
ing the next ten years the imports will
have fallen TO zero and the exports
risen to $4OO. 900. The conditions for
phenominal increase in exports are
much better than in 1890. for our re-
sources in this direction are much
greater While our agencies for the sale
ard shipment of iron and steel abroad
are much more effective than ever be-
fore In view OF these figures, it is not
surprising that iron and steel producing
industries across the water regard the
prospect Of American competition with
apprehension. Our inexhaustible re-
sources in iron and steel were well
known long the world over. Our abil-
ity to successfully compete for the mar
kets Of the world was never demon
strated before. These highly gratifying
statistics are certain to stimulate the
American iron and steel producers to
greater efforts to secure foreign Gus
toners, and it is well directed, hopeful
effort that counts in the competition for
the worlds markets.

ELECTION OF SENATORS BY DI,
RECT VOTE is FAVORED.

That the house win be called upon a
this session to consider the question o
electing United States senator's by di
rect vote of the people is apparent from
the favorable report OF the commltte
on elections upon the bill introduced b!
Representative Corliss of Michigan
which proposes an amendment to th'
constitution.
The Corliss bill was framed in re,
sponse to public sentiment which has
manifested itself in the increasing ten.
dency Of political parties to name sen.
atorial candidates in state conventions
and in the numerous petitions from
state legislatures praying for legislation
of this character. The republican par
ty in Ohio and the democratic party in
Illinois have set the precedent Of choos-
ing candidates for the United States
senate in state convention. A good
many other states have had recent oc-
casion to wish they had followed the
example of Ohio. The long senatorial
fight in Iowa, which obscured all other
considerations in the election of men to
the legislature, and which finally term
mated in the election Of Senator Geer,
has solidifed republican sentiment in
that state in favor Of the nomination Of
United States senators in state conven-
tons hereafter. The contest was
clean one throughout, developing no
lasting bitterness and leaving no
wwounds or taste Of dishonesty, and
yet the wrangle was protracted and ex-
pensive to the state. AS soon as the
political atmosphere at Des Moines be-
gan to cool off the politicians were
quick to declare themselves in favor of
the nominating plan as safe measure
for avoiding costly contests and for re-
moving all temptation to resort to the
corrupt methods that have scandalized
Montana, Pennsylvania, and other
states
The report Of the house committee on
the Corliss bill states that 1T is evident
from an examination Of the constitution
that it was the original intention to
leave to the citizens of each state the
right to determine when, where and in
what manner the election Of senators
should be held" The restriction to the
it declares, was the result
Of compromise and contrary to the
judgment of the grea constitutional
lawyers, including Hamilton and JEFF
ferson, who had hand in framing the
The house will doubtless pass the
corliss measure and the senate, as u.s.
lal, will smother 1t in committee. But
public sentiment in favor Of election Of
senator's by direct vote of the people
S gathering force every year, and
ew more senatorial scandals, such as
ire now being aired from Montana, will
.rystalize the sentiment into a popular
mandate so strong that even the senate
.annot ignore It.

 The nine years of MT AcCalls ad- ministration presents a record unpar- alleled in the life business. In enter ing upon his duties there were many tangled webs to be nUraveled before the machinery of the company could be put in smooth running order. After the first year, however. the Nv York Life took an upward leap, and each year there has been added acceler2tion in growth. In 1891 the company had in lDund numbers $l25, ,OOO, ,0C0 Of ass ts Tn 1899 it showed $236,OO0,0O0. the busi- ness having nearly doubled in the brief space Of nine years.

and all the time. The New York Life being a purely mutual company Uhe policy holders being it's only stock ho.1srs), there could be ID such pro- gress as has b en outlined without an administration stamped with the unln- imous approval of it's members and the hearty cooperation of it's field repre- StntaLiVes.
 In the matter of agency organization the company stands alone in unique or iginality. and the results from it's "Nylic" system (so well known to life UnderwTitlrs) have more ,han borne out the wisdom Of its adoption. In everything that stands for genuine con- c,i-va;ism. fer un1quivocal openness and publicity of actual business trans actions, and for integrity of manage nert. the New York Life ranks with the first ill the world-corporate.

MRS. BINFORD FREE
Examination of Harris Will Take
 Place Tomorrow.

Mrs. Claire Binford of Prescott orL. $ Angeles, whose escapade and elope- mert with Professor c. W. Harris, magnetic healer. from Los Angeles to Phoenix, is partly out of her difficult ties. She was taken before United States Commissioner Crenshaw at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, the time fixed for the hearing of herself and Harris. She waived examination and was held to the federal grand jury un- der bond of $25O. This was furnished by w. H. Constable of Fl Paso. a friend of her husband.
 The humorousness of tha situation in which Mrs. Binrord found herself last Saturday had entirely passed away. She showed signs Of recent weeping when she lift the sheriffs office to go 10 the commissioners court, and short ly before noon when shs left the office free woman again she was in much more serious frame If mind than when she entered 1t Q prisoner forty eig.,1 hours before.
 There was no r-Yival of affection be- tween her and her husband. Though they had not formally separated. they would probably never have lived to- Sether again, but if either of them had had hope q reconciliation this late escapade dissipated it. They have agreed upon a campaign Of future hap piness. Mrs. Binford is to go back to her father. Judge c. c. McComas, of Los Angeles, and after d year is to be gin suit against her husband on the ground of failure to support. It is MT. Binfords purpose that this com piaint shall not be imaginary or merely academic. but genuine. Mrs. Binford' s paramour, Harris, Is still erjoying him s5lf in jail. Hc and Max CZuczka oc- cupy the same cell. smoking good ci- fars and smiling over their tribula- 1iOns. When reporter visited Har- lis yesterday yesterday. the prisoner asked him in a light manner if he thought Mrs. Binf1rd still loved him. He said that sorrows, like blessings. are not unmiXed. 1'iere was some in convenience in bring locked up in jail. but at the same time 1t had been th- means of procuring newspaper adver- tisinE which would be of great value to him in his business of magnetic healer. The advertising matter. he added. was not just such as he would have pre- rared himself, but as it cost nothing 1t is not subject to professional criticism, some things had been printed, though. to which in his capacity Of a privat- person, and not that of a magnetic healer, he objected. Wan he gets out, he says, he will fill with regre', every newspaper which has printed anything derogatory to his character.
 Harris is expecting his wife soon, perhaps today; he also expects that sh ? will bring money for his bond. His ex- animation will take place tomorrow.
