GROWING IN POPULARITY.
American Products Gaining Favor All
Over the World.

American Products Gaining Favor All
Over the World.
The growing popularity Of American pro-
duets in those parts of the world in which
all the manufacturing and exporting ma
tons are making earnest endeavors to ex-
tend their commerce is illustrated by the
figures Of the treasury bureau of statistics
showing the exports by grand divisions and
countries in 1900 compared with 1880. These
figures are published in the December num-
Der Of the Monthly Summary Of Commerce
and Finance. and cover the calendar years
from 1880 to 1900 They show that our ex-
ports to Europe increased during that per-
Tod from $6S2, 10000 to $1116OOO, 600. or g
per cent; to North America. from $95. OO0. OOO
to sl9S, 10000. or 1Os per cent; to South
America. from $35, 900 900 to $41 100000. or
less than 20 per cent: to Asia. from $22.OOO.-
lea. from $17,OOOOOO to s4O.OOO.OOO. or 132
per cent and to Africa, from $45OO.OOO to
$223 600, 900. or 416 per cent. To South Amer
lea the growth has been comparatively
small. but to Asia. Oceanica and Africa the
percentage Of growth, 1t will be observed,
has been phenomenally large, and in nearly
every instance the gain has been greater
than that of the other countries competing
for that commerce.
A more detailed analysis considering the
exports, country by country, also shows
some interesting facts, and this is presented
in the table which follows: The united
kingdom, which stood at the head Of our
list OF customers in 1890. still maintains
that position but only shows an increase Of
less than SO per cent while Germany, whose
commercial relations with the United States
have been the subject Of much discussion,
shows an increase Of more than 100 per
cent, and an increase Of over $35, OOO,OO0 in
the single year 1900. compared with the pre-
ceding year. France. which stood third in
the list of our customers In 1890. is now
fifth; Canada, which was fourth on the list
in 1880. has taken third rank, and Neither
lands. which was sixth in 1880. is now
fourth in the list. To Hongkong the ex-
ports Of 1900 are double those Of 1880; to
much; to China nearly three times as
much, and to Japan more than five times as
much as those Of 1890: while to British
Africa the figures Of 1900 are six times as
much as those Of 1892
The following table shows the exports
from the United States by countries In 1880
and 1900, arranged In tie order OF magni-

A dispatch from Chicago last night saysi
Fires were set simultaneously on four floors

ty-five minutes later fires were discovered

Two men, supposed to be hotel thieves,
were seen to run from the Palmer House.
During the excitement $500 worth of jew
elry was stolen from one of the rooms Of
the Great Northern.
About the same time blaze was dis

Reopened to Settlement.

The commissioner of the general land Of
flee, with the approval of the Secretary Of
the Interior. has revoked the order with
drawing Shoshone Falls. Idaho. for pro-
posed national park. and has restored the
falls to settlement or other disposal under
existing laws. The governor OF Idaho and
the congressional delegation requested the
revocation Of the order because 1t was
thought that the waters Of the falls should

SMUGGLING IN CHINESE.
Sam Wah kee Arrested I'm the Act ON
Maine Border,

The federal authorities at Portland, Me-,
are in possession of papers found on the
person of Sam Wah Kee of Boston, when
he was arrested in the act of smuggling
six of his countrymen into the United
States across the Maine border. which led
to the belief that an organized band of in
fiuential Chinese have been engaged in
smuggling their fellows into this country
with the collision of government officials.
Among the papers are many letters which
give clew to the methods employed in
evading the immigration laws. In one Of
the letters Sam spoke Of having successful
ly brought 100 Cinnamon across the border
in the past dozen years.
