JOINT MANEUVERS
ABSORB ATTENTION

1t is a foregone conclusion that such g
squadron would not dare TO attack the
southern entrance to New York. and that
II would have a practically hopeless
mission in attempting to force its way
past the forts near New London. The
first part of the program of demonstra-
tion to the world Is, therefore. negative
to the extent that II only shows that in
case OF war the fighting battleships oi

from their real work to defend the har-

Show OF Force at Culebra.
Infinitely more impressive is to be
the great gathering of the North and
South Atlantic and European aquadrons
under the admiral and five rear ad-
,Eirals at Culebra next January, when
more than a million dollars for ey-
traordinary expenses above the mere
maintenance OF the service will ne
rsed. How the administration regards
that mobilization OF three-iifths of the
entire available force Is shown by the
following order. issued the other day TO
tfose charged with preparing the ships
FOR service. including the new ambu
lance ard machine shop ships. the aux
iiiary vessels. and land parties:
Concerning The concentration of our
sguadrons in the West indies next win
ter, the department desires hearty
and vigorous cooperation on the part
OF all bureaus and naval stations con-
ccrned in order that this mobilization of
the feet may be successfully accom-
rlished.
The President of the United States
is deeply interested in the success of
this concentration, and has intrusted
the command of the fleet to the ad-
:Eiral of the navy.
The Secretary feels that this move
ment is test of our ability to meet
var demands, and he will sanction all
reasonable expense within the law and
regulation. in order that the vessels en-
Gagc1 upon this service may be pre-
pared for It in good season.

Terry's daily routine consists OF six
mile run in the morning over the fine
old country roads that intersperse the
ragged hills of Naugatuck Valley. Fol-
lowing the rundown he skips the rope
and takes a dip in the sound. After
dinner he rests for an hour and then
begins his indoor work.
Punching the bag comes first, and
then follow nine fast rounds, three each
with his brother Hughey. Eddie Cain,
and Art Simms. He rows five miles on
the river and takes brisk three-mile
walk after supper. He Is in bed at
o'clock and sleeps nine hours soundly.

All who know baseball agree that
Hanlon is successful manager with a
capital S. And Hanlon doesn't play. He
sits en- the bench and takes notes.
With Hanlon his team is a family. He
doesn't yawp at them where the whole
town can hear them when they have an
off day.
If player is getting behind In his
work. Hanlon finds out why Then be
takes the player one side, where no one
but themselves can hear. and he hands
out bunch Of heart to heart talk that
generally does more good than the fine

Hanlon has saved many a good player
by this means. who would otherwise
have gone to the bad and be lost to
the game. Kindness and consideration,
even to ball tosser. has it's reward.

Largely Accounted For by Change in
Value Of the Products.

1t is now possible TO determine accu-
rately the movements of manufactures
and manufacturers materials in the for
eign commerce OF the United States dur
ing the fiscal year 1902.
The June report of the Treasury Bu-
reau of Statistics, showing the imports
and exports by articles for the month
of June and for the entire year COM
pared with preceding years. has Just
been completed and given to the public.
IL shows that the total exports Of
manufactures are s4O3. $50. 763. against
264,SOS
Iron and Steel.
In iron and steel manufactures alone
the exports have fallen from s117 .319. $50
s1S, 766.15S Thus the decrease in iron
and steel manufactures alone is ten mil
lion dollars greater than the total re-
duction in exports of manufactures. in
dicating that in other articles there has
been a net increase.
Taking the general class of manufac-
lures exported. it may be said that a
majority show an increase in 1902 COM
pared with 1901, while some of the arti-
cles showing a decrease in value of ex-
ports show an increase in quantity, in
dicating that the reduction is due In
some cases to reduced prices and not to
reduced exports.

tion of ingots, bars, plates. etc, amount
