If we judge from results of leSisla-
ton it would seem that one feature OF
our increased exports has been OVER
looked at least not given the cG,n-
sideration it deserves. Briefly our
boosted increase in export trade has
served to increase the number of
foreign ships atlCat while practically
stimulating oTr own shipping to but
slight degrft. From German publ
cation it, appears that Germany's
foreign trade in the decade 1SSa-1s99
increased Is pcr cent. with European
Countries. 81 per cent. with the
American continent, 147 per cent. With
Asia. lis per cent. with Australia and
279 per cent. with countries Of Africa.
During the period 1SS2-l90O the Ger
man merchant fee. gained alone in
steamships 1911 per cent: that Of
France, % per cent; of England 81

tire merchant marine (steam and sail
ing vesscls) of Germany gained 80 per
cent: that of England. Is per cent:
of France, per cent. whereas that of
the United States declined IS per cent.
The New York Commercial, comment

LooTING CHINESE MERCHANTS.
Consul mt Panama Reports COlom-
bian Insurgent DepredntiOns.

A bundle of reports was received at the
state Department yesterday from United
State consular officers in Colombia, con-
tanning advices in regard to internal po-
litical troubles there.
Consul General GUdger. at Panama, re-
ported under date of August 23 that
bands Of men opposed to the present Co
lombian Government were committing
depredations on Chinese merchants along
the railroad between Colon and Panama
The losses amount to thousands of dol
lars Under an arrangement made by
Secretary Bayard. Chinese subjects in
Colombia have the benefit of the good Of
fees of American consular officers. For
that reason Mr. Gudger had notice
PRICED in the Panama Star and Her
aid that Chinese on the isthmus were
entitled to the good ofives of his consul
late He asked that the depredations be
discontinued. but the notice had no effect.
While Chinese were mot the only VIC
TINS. they were the principal sufferers in
all cases. orf -
Mr. Adee, Acting Secretary of State.
said Mr.. Gudger had done all that could
be done to see that Chinese were justly
treated. his directions to exercise his
good offices extend only to the proper
insurgents. to-
In later despatch. dated Panama. Au-
gust q, Mr.. Gudger says that the Liber-
ais, or insurgents. seem to be concentrat-
ing their forces around Chame, about
twenty miles from Panama, while the Co.
lombian Government is strengthening its
forces at Panama. News that a United
States warship had been ordered to Pan
anna lad a good effect there. Mr.. Gudger
said 1t was currently reported that the
Liberals had been given strict orders to
do no damage to the railroads and not to
interfere with transit.
Consul Malmros, at Colon, wrote to the
department. under date of August q,
that SO far as he could learn the town
of Bocos del Toro seemed to be more
exposed to danger than any other in his
district. He sent a report from the Unit
ed States consular agent at Bocos del
Toro saying that guerrilla bands operat-
ing at that place were estimated num-
herring $50 men, while the Government
force was only about half that number.
The insurgents, he said. appeared to be
waiting for re-enforcements before at
tacking Bocos del Toro. Part of the in
surgent force was supposed to consist
of guerrilla bands which had recently
been looting Cinnamon on Pope's Island.

AGED COUPLE DIsPossEssEp
The Woman Spends the Night in the
Homeopathic Hospital.

A constable yesterday visited the home
of Edward Barnes and his wife at 81 Myr-
tie Street northeast and put their goods
on the sidewalk. Mrs. Barnes is reported
Ill and was sent TO the Homeopathic Hos
pital by the police The landlord had
called for his rent, which Barnes could
not pay, and civil action before Justice
of the Peace Strider led to the tenant be-
ing dispossessed. The aged couple have
lived in the city about five years and
originally came from the neighborhood Of
St Louis, Mo. They have two sons Iiv-
ing somewhere In the West.
Yesterday afternoon the constable went
to the home Of Barnes. armed with n
writ. No time was lost in setting the be-
longings of the tenant on the street in
front of the house and Barnes then set
tied down to keep guard over his goods
His wife sat beside him. Toward night
the condition of the couple became known
to Lieutenant Moore and he went to see
what could be done for Barnes and his
wife. The lieut. aant suggested to Barnes
that he go with his wife TO the Washing
ton Asylum Hospital, at least for the
-ght.
This did not quite suit Barnes. who
asked to see the Rev. DR.. Powers. pastor
of the Christian Church. Accordingly DR..
Powers was sent for by the police and he
advised the aged couple in line with the
suggestion made by Lieutenant Moore
Some time was spent before Mrs. Barnes
consented to go to the Homeopathic Hos
pital for the nisAlt. Barnes, on the other
hand, seemed desirous of remaining be-
hind to look out for his property. The
patrol wagon was summoned and Mrs
Barnes was removed to the hospital To-
day friends of the aged couple may give
them assistance.
Some time ago, the police say. the sons
of the couple lived in this city and worked
In the Congressional Library. The boys
finally gave up their places and left the
city. Barnes Is q member OF the G. A. r.
and draws a small pension. He Is about
sixty years old.
