TRADE WITH JAPAN
WONDERFUL SHOWING MADE
BY THE BUREAU OF
STATISTICS.
Total Value of Imports Into Japan
from the United States Nearly
Ten Times as Much In 1900 as 1t
Was In 1seO-Congress Will Pass
Chinese Exclusion Act.

Washington. D. c., Dec. 1.-The bu-
Teau of statistics of the treasury de
partmont has just received h annual
return of the foreign trade of the En-
pire Of Japan for the year 1900. This
report shows that the growth of Amer
lean imports into Japan during the
decade has been far greater than that
of any other nation. The total value
of imports into Japan from the United
States in 1900 was, according to this
official publication of the Japanese gov
eminent, 6 2.761, 1876 zen, against 6.S7i,.
531 in 1890. being thus nearly ten times
as much in 1900 as in 1890. That this
growth of imports from the United
States has been far in excess of that of
other countries. or of that of the aver
age.i is shown by the fact that the to-
tai imports of Japan are but three
times as much in 1900 as in 1890, while
those from the United States are near
ly ten times as much in 1900 as in 1890
That we are beating the European ma
lions in securing the trade of the far
east is apparent. In 1890 Germany
imported into Japan goods valued at
$3.50. 955 yen, about the same as our
imports; i'll 1900 the imports from Ger,
many are 30, 1893. 695 yen, less than half
of our imports for the same year. The
imports from Great Britain increased

The Governors Message.

Gov. Tyler's message was read be-
fore both houses Of the Legislature
Wednesday. 1t Is brief document,
carefully drawn, aud evinces the
shrewdness Of trained politician.
The Governor reminds the begiela-
ture that the Constitutional convention
10 the primevsl object for which they
are assembled, bat studiously refrains
from suggesting the plan Of organizl-
tion-.shrewdly recommending. however,
the adoption Of the most economical
plan consistent with a suitable rep
resentation Of the varied interests OF the
State I"
He says the affairs Of the State are In
good condition, and oommeDds the
management Of the boards Of the State
institutions.
The Governor lays stress upon the
necessity Of enlsrging the penitentiary.
Repairs to the Capitol are also rec
commended.
The message further states:
II would also suggest that the Legis'
lsture give consideration to providing
a more business like system for the
handling Of the finances OF the State
ard Of the counties, and a committee
might be appointed to make suggestions
along this line. There Is something
wrong with a system under which Of
6cisls can get far in arrears with public
funds, rs has occurred in many coun-
ties Of the State. and II the remedy can
be supplied By legislative enactment IL
should be done without unnecessary de-
lay. l might also add that there Is not
the same care exercised In providing
checks on some Of the State depart
ments that private concern having
due regard 10 business principles would
require, and we have been fortunate In
having officers whose personal integrity
has kept the State from loss. still IL be-
hooves the peoples representatives to
provide all proper safeguards to see
that the public funds are expended
along the lines for which they were
collected
In conclusion reference Is made to
matters Of q local nature. While the
message is carefully drawn, 1T covers
the grounds under the circumstances.
and the Governor is beyond the pale OF
criticism for not suggesting Legislation
upon matters foreign to the paramount
object for which the Legislature IL
generally conceded to have been con.
Vened. In so doing be has manifested
no disposition 30 throttle the main OBJ
jeot of the extra session and the Con-
stitutional convention question should
be disposed Of expedttiously.
