The Kansas watchword. keep some
thing going" is being followed with
more than ordinary persistency now
As a continuous performance place Of
amusement and instruction Kansas
easily outshines all the vaudeville play
houses in the world. Her great point
is nothing stale is ever presented and
after one set of freaks have had their
turn on the action stage they must go
and never return Nothing is ever re-
peated. even by request. and the price
OF admission makes the show within
the reach Of even the tramp Every act
is entirely new with special scenery
and stage settings. colored lights. and
up-to-now accessories
The latest performer IS Ms Nation,
who has been pursuing a spectacular
endeavor to wipe out the liquor joints
by force and destruction. Like all other
things in Kansas. It is hard to fore
cast what the effect Of her efforts will
be. She is the first OF & long line who
have advocated the methods she has
adopted to possess the courage to give
them q trial. There are men and wo-
men enough in Kansas who would be
likely to rally to the Nation standard
to make the movement Of much more
serious import than IS now conceded
to 1t. once they were properly aroused
TO a realization OF what they consider
their duty. Moreover. it might spread
to other states. as did the crusade
AGAINST the liquor traffic in Ohio and
other states in the early seventies If

they could abolish the saloon traffic

of Missouri The. opinion was handed
down by Justice Shiras, the chief justice,
and Justices Harlan and White united in
a dissenting opinion
Chicago, Jan. 28.-Presfdent Alexander J.
Jones of the sanitary district said:
1.-The decision is somewhat Of a surprise
TO u.s. but after all it simply means that
a case may be tried on its merits. Hence
forth the inquiry of the court will be d.

North America increased during that
time from 50 millions to 202 millions
From South America the imports In
creased from 101 millions in 1880 to TO-
millions in 1900. while to South America
our exports increased from S5 millions
to Al millions From Asia the imports
into the United States increased from o.
millions in 1890 to 123 millions in 1900
while to Asia our exports in the same
time increased % millions to 81 miliioIss-
From Oceania the inportations IN ASav
were % millions and in 1900 were 70 mil
lions. while to Oceania our exports IN
1890 were II millions and in 1900 20 NIL
lions. From Africa importations in
creased from 8 millions in 1890 to 8 mir
lions in 1900 and expectations to Africa
increased from Az millions in 1890 to p
millions in 1900.
The changes in the movements to and
from the continents are charged to two
great causes: First. the increase IN
home manufactures which were former
" drawn chiefly from abroad; and Sec
ond. the diversification of products by
which markets are made for many ar
ticles which formerly were produced or
exported in but small quantities.
From Europe, to which we were ac-
customed to look for manufactures, our
imports have fallen over 35 million dol
lars while Europe has largely increased
her consumption OF our cotton seed oil.
oIeomargarine. parafan, manufactures
Of iron and steel, copper, and agricul-
tural machinery, as well as foodstufes
and cotton, our exports to that grand
division having increased 42s million dol
lars since 1890.
From North America the imports have
fallen 20 million dollars, due chiefly 10
the falling off Of sugar production IN
the West indies, the imports from Cuba
alone having decreased from 81 millions
in 1890 to q millions in 1900. To North
America the exports have increased
meantime over 100 million dollars. the
growth being largely manufactures and
foodstuns, a considerable portion of the
latter being presumably re-exported
thence to Europe.
From South America the imports have
increased in quantity. especially in cof-
fee and rubber. but decreased proper
.tionately in price. so that the total in
crease in value in the decade is but a
million dollars. while in exports the in
crease is 81 millions. chiefly in manuv
features.
From Asia the importations have In =
creased more than so million dollars.
the increase being chiefly in sugar and
raw materials required by our manu-
features, such as silk. hemp, jute and
tin: while to Asia the increase in our ex-
ports has been nearly 40 million dollars.
principally in manufactures, and raw
cotton
From Oceania the imports show little
increase, though this is due in part to
the absence of statistics OF importation
from Hawaii in the last half of ths
year 1900; while to Oceania there is an
increase in our exports Of more than 20
millions, chiefly in manufactured ar
ticles.
From Africa the Increase in imports is
6 millions, principally in manufa eturers'
materials of which raw cotton forms
the most important item, while our ex-
ports to Africa increased meantime II

EUROPEAN SUGAR.
Desperate Effort Win Be Made to
Market Product in America

Market Product IN America
New York, Jan. 2S.-Some apprehen-
sion is expressed in sugar circles as to
the report that German refiners are
preparing for a sharp fight to market
their product in this country. About a
year ago the secretary. of the treasury
decided on complaint of the Russian
ambassador. that the Russian sugar was
not subject to cOuntervailing duty for
the reason that technically, Russian
sugar did not receive an export bounty.
The contention of the German refners
is that Russian sugar does in fact re-
ceive a bounty. and a demand, II IS
asserted, is to be officially made upon
the state department that German sugar
be placed upon this same basis as
Russian Should, however, the counter
vailing duty on German sugar still be
collected, it is then proposed according
to reports just received by sugar re-
finers, to pay the export bounty upon
terms identical with those controlling
Russian shipments. In that case IL Is
argued the authorities at Washington
will have no course left except to re-
move the countervailing duty.
The removal of the dffferential duties
on Russian sugar has resulted IN the
importation of quite an amount OF that
product. The imports OF refnea sugars
during the year 1900 amounted to H.
515 tons. compared with 1885 tons IN
1892 and very large part OF this IN
crease was Russian crystals.
If the differentia1 duties be removed,
it is commended. the duty on refined over
raw supplies gives the American refner
only about one-eighth cent per pound
advantage over foreign refined, and con-
seouently it is further said, German re-
fnerS will only be required to andersen
the American refiners about one-quarter
cent per pound in order to secure ousi-
