TRADE WITH CHINA.

Corrected figures upon the trade
with China establish the fact, which
will be surprising to many, that this
country sells more goods to the Chinese
than any other country except Great
Britain, and that we buy more from
China than any other nation In the
world. The total trade Of the United
States with China, imports and ex-
ports. equals that of Great Britain mot
including colonies) and is far ahead Of
that OF any other country. These facts
are pointed out by Consul Gen. Good
now, ct Shanghai, In report to the
State department. made public today.
He shows that the amount of American
trade Is minimized by the method
adopted by the Chinese customs service
of crediting the trade OF the country
from which the carrying ships clear.
For example, American goods shipped
via Japanese lines are credited to
Japan. In spite OF the general decrease
OF trade In 1900 Ga compared with the
preceding year, Consul General Good.
now says that the corrected figures Of
the United State trade show m in
crease. The imports from the United
States In 1900 amounted to SIS, 542 1852.
The exports from China to the United
State compiled from the reports OF the
United States cor sulates, were SIS. $685.
3l8 With an additional million estimst-
ed for the last quarter of the year from
the ak consuIales outside Of Shanghai.
The Consul also calls attention to the
fact that all steamers engaged In this
trade, except those owned by Ameri-
cans, are subsidized by their respective
governments.

can racing year and usually, conditions
being fair, draws the greatest crowd OF

The Cooperative Legislative Board
of Railway Employees OF Virginia at
its session in Richmond this week de-
cided that hereafter the board will en-
desvor to secure legislation favorable
to the railway employees Of the State.
The resolutions adopted indicate that
all the organized railroad men In the
State will take an active part In the
election of members of the next legis-
lature, and that no man will be sup
ported who does not personally pledge
himself to work in all legislative mat
ters pertaining to the good Of the rail-
road men. All candidates are to be
seen personally by representatives Of
the lodges. They will be asked to sup
port certain measures that will be
brought forward by the railroad men. II
the candidate refuses, the railroad men
will try to defeat him and to work for
the election of someone favorable to
their measures. Now no one blames the
railroad men for looking after their
own interests, but they must remember
that there are other interests in the
State equally as important as theirs
and il an attempt is made at class legis.

brought about. Then, too, requiring
