A MIXED UP BUSINESS.
Not Certain That a Pacific Gable
VIII Be Allowed.

| Washington. Oct 2.-The principal
| subject discussed at yesterdays cabi-
| net meeting was that of cable to Ha-
wall, Guam and the Philippines. Prop
ositions have been made to lay a COM
mercial cable from San Francisco to
connect these islands, and the question
under discussion was whether under
our peace treaty with Spain the United
States could authorize or in any way
encourage the laying of such a cable
by private parties. Under a franchise
obtained from Spain some time before
the late war the exclusive right to
cable connections with the Philippines
was secured by Foreign corporation
Under the treaty of Paris, the United
States obligated itself to protect all
property rights in the archipelago, and
the question now at issue is whether
permission to land the proposed cable
at Manila or some other Philippine
port would be a violation of the terms
of the Paris treaty. The attorney gen
president covering all OF the questions
involved.
The question comes up on the propo-
sition of John W. Mackay. president of
the Postal Telegraph company, to lay
a cable to Manila
John w. Mackay, president of the
newly organized Pacific Commercial
Cable company, was in Washington
Lew QAyS ago Will 1GOT&G " w ATUf
vice president of the cable company, in
the interests Of the new organization
Their mission was to make arrange
ments regarding the landing privileges
for their cable, which it is proposed to
run from San Francisco by way of the
Hawaiian islands and Guam to Manila.
They laid the matter before President
Roosevelt going into the details of the
project, which is different from any
thing that has heretofore been pro-
posed inasmuch concession, in
IDENTITIES subsidies are asked, the
proposition being simply that permits
sion to land be granted. Mr.. Mackay
proposes to give guarantees to lay the
cable and maintain it without any cost
to the government, the company agree
ing to give the government business
right of way, and in case of war
other public necessity permit the line
to be taken over by the government.
The company further promises to re-
duce the far Eastern rate from 40 to so
per cent below those now charged by
way of the eastern cables.
Mr.. Mackay said his company would
obligate itself to begin work early and
complete the connection between San
Francisco and Honolulu within nine
months, and the entire cable to Manila
within two years.

16 per cent i'm imports, has included all
great classes of products and manu-
features. Agricultural products now
form 63.7 per cent OF the total exports.
and in 1896 they formed $50 per cent
Manufactures now form 20 per cent or
the total expoI Is. and in 1886 they
formed 23.3 per cent During the last
month, however, the exports of manu-
features have not kept pace with those
of other industries.
In the eight months ending with July.
1901, the latest month in which the de-
tails are accessible exports of manu-
features fell $32, OO0, 900 below those Of
the corresponding months of last year,
while exports of agricultural products
were s57.O00.0e0 greater than those OF
the corresponding months of last year
This reduction in exports Of manufac-
lures is about equally divided between
copper and iron and steel. the reduc-
ton in copper exports being about $751;
0O0. 900 and in iron and steel about $16,-
0OO, 900. The reduction in copper exports
is chiefly due to the decreased demand
for copper in other parts of the world
for use in electrical and other indus
tries
In exports of iron and steel the re-
duction is apparently due somewhat
to the partial suspension of manufac-
turing activities in certain lines in the
past few weeks, partially to the re-
duced demand abroad, partially to the
reduction in prices of the articles ex-
ported, and in large part to the fact
that the exports of Hawaii and Porto
Rico, which were included in last
years statistics. are not included In
the figures for the present year.the
total exports of iron and steel of those
two islands in the fiscal year 1900 hav-
ing been about $1,000, 000
The phenomenal growth in exports is
illustrated in another form by the fact
that the monthly statements have not,
for more than two years. fallen below
the million dollar line, while, as al
ready indicated, they have for the first
time passed the billion and a half mark
for twelve months period.

kept very even pace with the increase

the history of our export trade that
the figures for a twelve months pc

line. The bureau of statistics, In it's
statement of imports and exports, is
sued each month. gives a total for the
latest twelve months and compares it
with the corresponding twelve months
I'm preceding years, thus giving a con-
venient method of not only measuring
the foreign commerce but also measur-
ing its growth. This table shows the
imports and exports in each twelve
