Washington, Feb. 16.-The division

ment has made public statement
showing the commerce of the Philip.
pines igor the seven months ended

named, was S13,309,5j4, an increase of
S3,S2O,39s, or over 40 per cent, compar.
ed with 1892.
The total exports from the Philip.

o92, 726; exports, Sl,S26,67s. These lat
ter figures as compared with the re.
suits for the same period of the pre-.
ceding year indicate a gain of over
IS per cent in the imports, and ma
terial decrease in the exports.

ROOSEVELT AND THE LIONS.
Joice over Teddy's Departure
from Colorado.

Meeker, Col, Feb. 16.--Col. Roose-
welt and John Golf rode into Meeker
from the Keystone ranch Friday af-
ternoon. When asked for interviews
the governor referred the correspon-
dent to Mr.. Golf.
Mr.. Golf said that II lions were
killed during the hunt, and that the
governor himself killed ~, four of
which he killed with his knife and 8
with his rife. Mr.. Golf further stated
that Gov. Roosevelt, on Friday, killed
the largest lion that has been killed
in this section, weighing 227 pounds
and measuring sh feet in the flesh.
Mr.. Golf states that Roosevelt killed
it with his knife.
One of the most exciting evperi-
ences of the hunt occurred during
Thursday night, when Gov. Roosevelt
killed with his rife his second to larg-
est lion. In order to get a shot at
the unsuspecting beast the governor
leaned the larger portion of his
weighty body over perpendicular
cliff 40 feet high, John Golf holding
him by the leg while Roosevelt aimed
and fired and instantly killed his game.
Gov. Roosevelt expresses himself as
having had the most enjoyable time
of his life.
