The war department has published some
statistics of the Philippine commerce for
the quarter of last year ending September
80, which throws new light on the export
trade, so far as it relates to the United
States. 1t is shown that of the total
exports of raw sugar, amounting to ST.
l43, ,349, only $S5,OO2 went to the United
States, while Japan and Great Britain
took nearly all of the remainder. Also
as to leaf tobacco the exports to the
United States were trifling in amount,
Spain taking the largest part, 1924, ,8lS,
and England $3S,947. The United States
also took only $5032 Of Manila cigars out
of total export of $24O,299 and none
of the other manufactures of tobacco came
to the United States. In fact, cigars and
cigarettes to the amount of $236O were
imported from the United States. Even
in Manila hemp the United States was
second, while Great Britain took 81, ,l47,-
424. The total value of hemp exports was
$2,776,9O7 and the amount was l9,945
tons.
The imports of merchandise into the
islands were valued at $6,043,077 and the
exports $4,SS4,O57. Silver coin to the
value of $58S,OOl was imported.
The total imports from Europe were
valued at 1926, ,52O and from North
America $33l, 1915. The exports to Europe
were 81, ,4OO, 1896 and to North America ST.

Loss Nearly q Million.

Philadelphia, March Fire entailing

mated loss 100000.
Several smaller buildings adjoining
were more or less seriously damaged.

Strike Is Threatened.

st. Louis, March Tt is said that 5000
street railway men of this city have com
pleted strong organization and will pre-
pare an ultimatum for the management Of
the syndicate railways of the city, which,
if not complied with, will result in a
strike. Within the past month not less
than 100 men have been discharged
Among the number was Vice President
Miller Of the union. The men hope to
have the cooperation of the public to a
certain extent in view of the bad service
given since the consolidation of the roads
The strike may also involve the suburban
system.

Paris, France, beyond a doubt, is sin
cerely anxious for the handgrip Of friend
ship of the United States and not only
is this true of the government, but Of all
responsible French politicians as well The
presentation of the Lafayette dollar to
President Loubet today furnished another
unmistakable proof of the existence of this
feeling. Reference to tha event in the
French journals Of all political shades has
been invariably of the most sympathetic
character.
Another expression Of the feeling in the
official world has appeared in the govern
ment's mouthpiece, which after reviewing
the inception Of the idea, concluded by
saying: "All these demonstrations form
a veritable cult, consecrated by the
Americans to the illustrious citizen who
aided them to win their independence,
which does the greatest honor to the peo-
pie Of the United States and deeply
touches the French people. II there are
in the world two peoples made to love and
comprehend one another, it is surely those
Of the greatest republics which exist on
the face Of the globe"
The news Of the capitulation Of General
Cronje arrived on Mardi Gras and served
as an occasion for demonstration against
the British.
The turn of the tide in favor Of Great
Britain in the Transvaal has produced
painful impression here, although all Of
the best organs, while eulogizing the he
roic conduct Of Cronje's army, also pay
tribute to the splendid soldierly qualities
shown by Lord Roberts and Lord Buffers
troops. A majority Of the newspapers
urge England to seize the present oppor-
tunity, now that her military prestige il
restored, to make peace on the basis Of
the independence of the Transvaal.

Los. by Forest F,re..

Washington, d. C.-The former official
estimate of the wooded area of the United
States, placed at 26 per cent, has been
raised to 81 per cent by the latest com.
putations of the division of geography
and forestry Of the United States geo.
logical survey. That office has issued a
bulletin containing new figures on Amer.
lean forests, some of which tend to prove
the national timber resources greater than
is supposed.
The two latest states to be examined
are Oregon and Washington. The former
is estimated to contain 234,653 million
feet, B.. M, in standing timber; the lat
ter, HATS million feet. Destruction by
fire has been exceedingly serious in Wash
ington. On the assumption that the
burned areas contained on an average as
much timber as the untouched portion,
10000 million feet have been DESTROYED
since numbering began. This amount
would supply all the saw mills of the
United States for two years, and at a
value of only IS cents thousand, means
a dead loss to the state of $50, 10000.
The amount actually logged in the same
period has been $4,000 million feet, maxi
ing the estimate by the same comparison
OF areas. Oregon has suffered less from
both fire and numbering, owing to the
smaller facilities for marketing the pro-
duct.
Investigation of the causes, effects and
means of prevention of forest fires in the
west, will be carried on this summer in
Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona,
New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming,
Montana, Idaho, South Dakota. Besides
field study, designed chiefly to discover
means Of preventing the evil, the division
is making historic record of all import
ant fires which have occurred in the
United States since 1854. Although yet
incomplete, this indicates that the annual
recorded loss by forest burnings in the
United States, is, at the very lowest,
$20,OO0,0OO. 1t will probably run far
above this sum, as the Pacific coast states
have been only partially examined. Ac-
counts of over $500 disastrous fires have
been obtained in the II states already ex-
amined. Michigan, Minnesota and Wis
consin have suffered the most severely
These records are taken chiefly from news
papers, and where it has been possible to
compare them with the figures of practical
lumbermen, it was been found that the
tendency of the press is to underestimate
the damage.

that the Philippine islands are rightful
property, honorably acquired by the Unit
ed States and that "while misguided Fill
pinos continue the present war brought
on by them against the rightful authority
OF the United States, so long as single

future course of the United States with
respect to them should be made by the

A BUSINESS POINTER.

Several Washington merchants are
afraid to invite the trade OF suburban
people for fear it mighb offend some
Il their city customers who don't con-
jider it "the proper thing" to be seen
u a store with country people. They
want the cash of country people when
the same can be secured without any
outward sign Of a desire to reach ont
tor it. One OF the largest hardware
hrms in the city recently refused to
advertise in the columns Of the CIT1-
ZEN and gave the following reason;
"We're not out after suburban bust
aess for the reason that we consider
the trade of the people of Virginia and

Evolution of the "Peace 1dea.v

The view has been very generally
entertained that all efforts to promote
the cause of peace and order in the
world by cut.and-drled schemes are
bound to fail, and it must be admit
ted that few truer words have been
written than those which stand at the
head of this article. But this truth,
like some others, may be abused.
Evidences are not wanting to show
that the incredulity which preceded
the convening of the Peace Confer
ence, the skepticism which marked
its first sessions, and a certain want
of faith which has since been mani
tested in various quarters in the prac-
tical value of the measures adopted,
are all mainly due to q misapplication
OF this truth.
The measures formulated at The
Hague do not constitute a "cut-and-
dried scheme" but on the contrary,
they form an additional step in a nat
ural, healthy and orderly evolution OF
the forces of peace which have so eff.
fectively asserted themselves in the
improvement of international relations
during the latter half of this century.
