No Duties on Goods Destroyed in the
Hoboken Disaster

The importers who lost cargOes by the
great fire that destroyed several steam
ships and many lives at Hoboken last
July will generally not be required to pay
customs duties to the Government on
those goods. The Secretary OF the Treas
ury. after mature deIiberaton, based on
the. examination Of several cases. has
reached this decision, holding that it
would be adding cruelty to misfortune for
the Government to enforce the collection
of duties upon burned goods.
The cases examined most nlinutely- and
which seem to be representative Of sew
eral others. are those OF Curie. Smith &
Maxwell and George BOrgfeldt X Co. who
imported large cargOes in the steamship
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, Main, and
Bremen The principal question to be de-
termined was whether q permit 10 remove
goods from the ships. issued by the coll
lectOr of the port, constituted a final re
lease from custody and the placing Of all
responsibility for the goods on the i'm
pOrters. Then the question arose as 10

In nearly every case OF those concerned

THE BECQUEREL RAYS.
Results Said TO Have Been Obtained
That May StartIe the World.

Consul General Guenther. at Frankfort
on-AIain, reports TO the Department of
State that recent experiments in Berlin
have shown that the BecquereI rays may
be expected to startle the world in the
near future. Speaking Of these rays, Con
SUI General Gueuther says:
In 1888. d French chemist discovered
rays emanating from the element IRA
MUM which possessed properties similar
TO the Roentgen rays. They were called
Becquercl rays, after their discoverer.
But while the discovery Of ROentgen
aroused great interest in the whole civil
lied world, leading to radical changes in
n edical diagnosis, the Becqucrel rays

them. II is stated that the results will

THE MINING OF GRAPHITE.

Oliver J D Hughes. the American Con-
SUI at Coburg. has written the State De

the graphite mines in Bavaria He says

one Of the most valuable products of Ba-
raria, and, Ike photographic stone, rep

the supply of natural graphite is the is
land Of Ceylon. The production of graph
tie in CeyIou has, however. diminished
from 30,o50 tons 10 some = 00g or 5000 tons
annually. causing a great rise in prices
as the deficit could not be made good from
other sources. The price of CeyIon graph
tie ranges from $3.50 10 1913 per ton In
Bavaria. the graphite deposits are found
near PaSSau and are inferior TO the Cey-
Ion graphite. Us, while the latter is near

per cent earthly substances mixed with it
The PaSSau graphite, however, can be
purified by a very simple and inexpensive
process and a substance produced that IS
quite equal to the Ceylon graphite

THE INCREASE IN EXPORTS.
A Statement of the Foreign Trade in
Inauguration Years

Inauguration Years.
The Bureau of Statistics Of the Treasury
Department has issueG the following
statement regarding the imports and eX-
ports of the United States in each inau-
gurating year from 1883 to 1891:
While 1t is not assumed that the in
auguration of a President bears any rela-
ton 10 the commerce Of the year in which
il occurs. the quadrenniaI events furnish
convenient miles posts by which to meas
ure the development Of commerce since
the completion of a more perfect Union.
Prior 10 the complete union Of the
States under the Constitution, the records
of imports and exports were imperfeCtly
kept and in certain years inaccessible, so
that the first accurate reports OF the i'm
ports and exports Of the United States as
a nation are for the year Immediately fol-
lowing Washington's inauguration, the
fiscal year 1879. In the subsequent years
the figures are given for the EscaI year in
the midst of which the President was in
augurated, while the impracticability Of
predicting with any considerable accuracy
the imports ard exports of the present ifs
cal year renders it necessary to adopt for
the closing date of the table the figures
for the calendar year 1900
In addition to the statement Of imports
and exports. = column is presented show
ing the excess of imports or exports IN
each Of the years named. and a study or
this column proves especially interesting
as a measure of the development Of our
commerce and industries
''Princ to II all of the years named.
with four exceptions show an excess OF
imports over exports, While since that
time all of the years except two show an
excess of exports over imports IN gen
eraI terms. il may be said that i'r or to
1876 imports have almost constantly eH-
ceeded exports. and since 1876 exports
have almost constantly exceeded imports,
while during the past few years the eN-
cess Of exports over imports nave te'A
phenomenalIy large being In the cdIendaT
year 1900 the largest IN our history ana
reaching the enormous total OF So4S,SSV,5-S
"A still further evidence OF the gam
which our exports have made over I'M
ports in the past few years IS found IN the
fact that In the 10I years from the organ
ization OF the Government TO the 1nauSu-
ration of President Mckinley exports had
exceeded imports by the sum OF S5S5,uzo'-
49, and IN the four years since his fIrst
inauguration exports have exceeded IN
ports BY 81 $50 600. ESQ This contrast IN the
figures of the last four years, as compar-
ed with the period Of lu1 years, Is account
ed for by the fact that in the first three
quarters Of that period the imports were
much greater than the exports. While the
excess Of exports came only during the
final quarter of that term thus making
the net excess Of thu entire period less
than the average annual excess during the
past four years

THE PRIVILEGE WITHDRAWN.
Russian Warships Cannot Buy Sup
plies in American Ports.

The Treasury Department has suspend
Cd an order. issued some time ago. allow
ing Russian war vessels to purchase sup
plies in ports Of the United States. While
the department disclaims any relation be-
tween the suspension and the recent or
der relating to imports OF Russian Sugar,
there is a prevalent belief that the denial
OF the warehouse purchasing privilege TO
Russian warships viii not improve the
trade relations existing between the Unit
Ell States and Russia. even if it does not
aggravate the conditions now threatening
tariff war between the countries.
Under the Revised Statutes foreign war
vessels are allowed to purchase supplies
from all bonded warehouses without the
payment Of duty on these goods pToVId-
