TRADE CHANGES IN JAPAN.

The commerce of Japan, in which the
United States is greatly interested, is
discussed by the Swiss consul general
at Yokohama in a report which has
Just reached the treasury bureau of
statistics. 1t shows a steady Increase
in the importations of Japan in 1900
over those of the preceding year,
though in the matter of raw cotton
there has been a marked decrease.
Japan's importations OF raw cotton in
1883 were very large, and owing to the
higher price in 1900 and the large stock
Of American cottons laid in during 1899
her imports OF that single article from
the United States in the nine months
ending with March 1901, have been but
81. 72s,5S0 in value. as against 81. 1858
in the corresponding months OF the
fiscal year 1900. As a consequence the
total figures Of our exports to Japan
show a material decrease. chargeable,
however, almost exclusively to the
single item of cotton.
Even with this great reduction our
total exports to Japan in the nine
months for which the bureau of sta
tistics has completed its figures of the
present fiscal year are nearly two mil
lions in excess of the corresponding
months of the fiscal year 1899 though
less than those created by the abnormal
importation of American cottons in the
fiscal year 1900.
The following statement of CONNER
cial conditions in Japan is taken from
the report of the Swiss consul general
above referred to:
Owing to the recent political
troubles. Japan's foreign trade in 1900.
unlike preceding years. shows a con-
siderable falling Off. Money has been
scarce. one bank after another has had
to suspend payments, and the Japanese
merchants. unable to find market for
ordered goods. simply break their con-
tracts It is reported that there are at
present goods to the value of about 500
100000 which have been ordered but not
taken by japanese merchants and man
slfacturers.
The imports as compared with those
Of the preceding year have been higher
BY about $4,000, 600. while the exports
have been lower by s5.500.0O0. This
means for Japan an outflow of over
100000. 1t Is hoped that after the
end of the Chinese troubles, which i'm
pose upon Japan altogether excessive
sacrifices, a turn to the better may take
place. The total value OF the foreign

pRoFTTs OF COAL MrNING.

The following item appeared IN tne
eastern papers recently, and startling
as TIE figures may seem to the average
readers, it is probably correct:
Stockholders of the Pennsylvania
Coal company were notified today Of an
extra dividend of 43 1-5 per cent
making a total of TBS is per cent re-
ceived by them since the requirement
Of the company by J. p. Morgan & Co.
for the Erie railroad"
Commenting upon this extraordinary
announcement the Hartford Post says:
The Pennsylvania Coal company was
acquired by J. P Morgan & Co last
December, about five months ago, since
which time its owners have received in
dividends, according to this statement,
an amount Of cash equal to about eight
times the entire capital Tt seems that
although the company has for some
years paid regular Is per cent divi-
dends. it has from its earnings accum-
ulated so large a surplus that it has
been able within the last five months to
hand over to its stockholders about 500
per cent of it's whole capital in net
profits How large a surplus still re-
mains in the treasury is not stated
AT any rate we have here a fair idea
Of the profits Of the coal business, to
the producers. We have also fair idea
of the unreasonableness Of the attitude
of the coal barons in advancing the price
of coal as they have recently been do
ing, and as they have served notice
that they intend to do through the COM
ing summer It is small wonder that
laboring men are discontented when they
see the price Of one of the prime neces-
sites of life advanced month by month
in the face of such a statement as the
above. The condition is a cruel one; it
is unreasonable and unjust; it ought to
be illegal and impossible Of accomplish
ment under such form of government
as ours
I'VE all enjoy hearing about and OBJ
serving evidences Of prosperity among
the country's industries. even if we who
hear and observe may not be altogether
in it; but there is such a thing as giving
out too many statements like the above,
for the peace of mind of the common
people or the good of the commonwealth.
We have little sympathy with labor agi-
tations as they are and have thus far
been conducted and mana ged; but we
confess to more than hope that a
great leader of the common people is al
ready born. through whose generalship
they shall come to their own in this
country by paths which will lead among
peaceful surroundings and over legiti-
mate grounds into pastures which are
pleasant, not for a favored few but all
who may show themselves worthy there

SMALLPOX 1000 CASES.
Still a Large Number of Afflicted
Persons Reported.

The monthly smallpox report in the
state is expected to show a large de-
crease for May. There were thousand
cases in the state May l. The total will
probably be reduced by half till the 1st
of June.
DR.. Swan says that the new and rigid
quarantine law accounts for the wide
difference in the number of cases report
ed during last winter and the winter
before. This last season they have run
from I 200 to 2,000 total cases a month.
The previous year the numbers ranged
around 200 and 800. The secretary of
the state board of health says that the
system of reporting and quarantining
cases is several times improved over
what it previously was He thinks that,
excepting three counties, there was act
ually no more smallpox than the prev
ious winter. There were just as many
cases before, only they were laxly
watched and not reported The three
counties that are excepted are Cherokee,
Crawford and Phillips. 1t is probable
that the epidemic was more severe in
these counties than the winter previous.
June, July, August and September, the
heated period, are nominally free from
the disease.

PRAISE FOR AMERICA.
London Post Commends Our Methods
in Havana

New York, May 30.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The Post draws the attention of Eng
lishmen to the annual report of the mill
itary governor of Havana, and remarks
on the surprising measure of success
that has been attained by the American
administration in a short period The
experience OF Havana during the first
year and half of American supervision
proves, says the Post, that a govern
ment under the authority of an Ameri-
can executive would be incomparably
better than anything that Spain had
been able to give and than anything that
the Cubans could create for themselves
The same paper adds that the excel
lence of the administration supplied and
it's suitability to local conditions are
true title deeds of empire.
