Vvoshington, Feb. 1s.-The important
i, .,,,r,an+ entitled Review of the For
,ar commerce of the United States in
,@1 90 showing the pace at which this
oo,ntry ran during the last calendar
ar IN the great race for supremacy
trade in the worlds markets, has
i ,,.n made public by Frederic Emory,
u ,hief of the Bureau of Foreign COM
nerca of the State Department.
7, &c stated that the commercial re-
N .orts of our diplomatic and consular
& .Hcers last year record continued
auth in the sales of many lines of
msnufactures from the United States
= foreign markets, and the increase of
q =. general concern throughout Europe
g to the possible results of our indus
vial competition. Although the fgures
q MIR exports compiled by the Treas
,ry Department show considerable
x.uirg off in the total value of manu-
foctured goods sent abroad, 1T is stat
4 cd there seems to be a steady and UNI
;ntsrrupted spread in the popularity OF
what may be termed American nov
anes' all over Europe. In other words,
while the aggregate of our exports of
,,an,fac tured goods has shrunk, the
,,orietv of our sales in Europe is being
eytended and the territory upon which
tbev are encroaching is steadily beng
enlarged.
The falling off in American exports
& attributed. not to the goods being in
loss favor. but rather to business de-
nressicn in Europe, affecting the pur-
rboeing mower. The elimination OF
Hawaii and Porto Rico from the list
Of countries to which we export
is also factor. The treasury
figures show that during the cal
nTdar wear there was a falling
off Of $12, $685. 1874 compared with the
previous year-manufactures falling
off SAG. 262. 912, but being offset by
gain in agricultural exports of $S5,-
591O77. Mr. Emory says it Is evident
that the American invasion OF Eu-
rome has ceased for the time being to
he of that sweeping character that dis
tinguished it at first as an economic
phenomenon. He recalls what was
said in the Review year ago of the
danger of more strenuous European
competition. the use of new. processes
and our models of machinery, but ne
saws that Europe has not made any
sensible progress in that direction. AS
10 restrictive legislation, pending
measures in Europe might be aban-
doned, says the review, If the United
states modified it's tariff policy and
permitted more imports from Europe.
on the whole, Mr.. Emory finds that
we have hardly more than entered up
on novitiate in fitting ourselves for
International competition, and he
notes with encouragement the growth
of peculiar interest in the value of for
eign trade and wen directed efforts for
expansion.

Ice on Her Decks So Thick That
Guns Could Not BE Fired.
Washington, Feb. 1S.-The Navy De-
partment has received the official re-
port of the naval trial board on the
final acceptance trial of the battleship
Illinois, made on her way from Hamp-
ton Roads to New York last week. The
vessel was given a forty-eight-hour
run under natural draught. Her en-
gines registered 1914 revolutions,
speed of about fifteen and one-half
knots. The vessel encountered severe
weather on the way north, and it was
found impossible to try her guns on ac-
count OF a solid covering of ice three
inches thick, over her decks and turret
tops The board, therefore. decided the
excellent showing made by the guns of
the vessel off New orleans some tine
ago should stand as her gun trial The
board says that the vessels machinery
worked satisfactorily
