AT THE HEAD OF
 EXPORT NATIONS
The United States Maintained Its Position in the Lead
 Last Year
There Was an Apparent Falling Off in Figures as Compared With Pre- vious Years on Account of Annex ation of Hawaii.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The United State maintained it's position as the leading export nation in the calendar year 1901. The figures of the treasury bureau statistics, just published, show the exports of each of the principal countries of the world at the latest available date, and clearly indicate that the exports of the United States during the year were larger than those of any other nation. While the total for the full calendar year is only shown in the case of q few Of the more important nations. the monthly average for the portion of the year for which figures are availab ble is shown in the case of practically every country. This state ment shows that the average monthly exportations in the year 1901 were: United States. s119. $40. 333; United King dom, s113.753.9 .9S7; Germany. s9O,242. 900; France, s66.929, ,329: Netherlands, s56,- 20. .923: Austria Hungary, s32.012. 746. and Belgium, S23. ,729. For the full calendar year figures of the United States and United Kingdom are avail able. They show: United States. S1,- 43S. 0S3. GOO: United Kingdom. s1. .365. .047.- Si3. The exports of the United States thus exceed by nearly S75, 900 those of the United Kingdom. Upon the face the exports Ot the United states seem to show reduction of about S12, GOO GOO. but this is due to the fact that the ship ments to the Hawaiian islands and Porto Rico were in 1901 no longer classed as exports to foreign countries. and for that reason the export figures on their face show d slight reduction, while. in fact. if the figures of ship ments to the islands were included, they would show an increase. The figures of the United Kingdom are. for f?G1, S1.365 O47.s43. and for 1900. s1,417.- Os5 S49. q decrease of about s52, 900 900. Germany, for the nine months ending with September. the latest available figures. shows an increase of s4,OOO. GOO in exports; in the eleven months ending with November France shows an in crease of SIS 900. GOO. Belgium a decrease of s7. .OOO, ,OOO and Austria Hungary de- crease of S9,OOO, 900.
 On the import side the United States stands fourth in the list of nations, the imports for the calendar year averag- ing $73 36S. .421 per month. against s211,- 7S9 669 for the United Kingdom. S111.- 646. GOO for Germany. s75.4S3.423 for France. S65. .922. 642 for the Netherlands. S34. .942. .O1S for Belgium, and BPS, .5e9 for Austria Hungary. It is proper to add that the Netherlands figures are for the year 1900. no statement of the commerce in 1901 being yet available.

 A PEACE CONGRESS
In Special Session Suggested in Let
 ter to Represents i've Cochran

Washington, Feb. 1s.-Reprcsentative Cochran of Missouri, two weeks ago introduced a resolution inviting Presi- dent Kruger to visit the United States as a guest of this country. Yesterday MT. Cochran received d letter signed by three members of the Boer delega- tion quartered at Brussels. thanking him ana all who are supporting his efforts for the noble interest they are taking in the two Boer republics. The letter reviews, from the Boer stand point, the causes which led up to the war, and declares that Great Britain invented preteXt after preteXt to bring on the conflict. and her whole purpose was to secure the extensive gold mines of the Transvaal, in pursuance of a settled national policy to control all gold mines wherever possible, either by purchase or seizure. in order that Great Britain may command the worlds industries.
 The letter. in closing. appeals to he roic and generous America to inter Since England will not permit friend ly intervention. invite her to a con gress of nations, and see whether such a congress called in the interest of peace, will be ignored. England would not dare refuse to attend such a con gress if called by the United States and participated in by four or five of the poWers"

SESSION ENDED
 OF SUFFRAGISTS
The Closing Incident Was An Address
 by Senator Patterson of Colorado.

Washington. Feb. 1S.-The National Woman's Suffrage convention met m regular session this afternoon. Tine programme consisted of short speeches and the reception Of international re- ports from England, Australia and New Zealand. Germany, Norway, Swe- den. Persia and Japan.
 At the conclusion of these reports it was announced that it was decided not to form permanent international conference until after the convention in Berlin in 1904. but that in the mean time there will be an international sui frage committee. with Susan E. An thony as president.
 Tonight's session of the convention brought the annual meeting to a close. The principal address was delivered by Senator Patterson of Colorado. who. as a representative of q state where woman suffrage exists. says the vot- ing of women in Colorado had most salutary effect on politics there. The women were none the less highly re- Sarded because they were being edu- cated and educs ting themselves II political movements. In matters per taining to c1ucation, the states hay ing suffrage. he said. ranked ahead of those not enjoying it. and statistics showed that the percentage of Hitter acy in Colorado. Idaho. Wyoming and Utah was less than in a majority If the states. The senator refuted the as sertion that woman suffrage tended to create family dissensions.
 This morning a delegation from the convention was listened to by the wo- mans suffrage committee of the sen ate and the Judiciary committee of the house

rection. There was also there a party of irreconcila bles..
 Speaking of Aguinaldo having had General Luna ssassinated Governor Taft said that under the common law there is scarcely an insurrection gen. eral who could not be punished for assisting in securing the murder of other F'ilipinos. It is the way they have of getting rid of men who do not agree with them
 Governor Taft said he had never seen Aguinaldo and had never consid- cred it his duty to investigate Luna,s death.
 Speaking of Aguinaldo's personality, Governor Taft said that while his name was probably better known than that of any other man in the islands. his personality was not familiar to the peo- pie. His capture he said. ''in the face of the general impression that he was divinely protected against capture or injury, seriously affected his pres tige. Personally. he is man Of dig nifty. though of limited education. He knows how to keep his counsel and un- derstands the failings of the F'ilipinos. He knows how to reconcile the differ ences of leaders and how to avoid arousing the jealousy of himself. That he has any idea of civil liberty or any kind of liberty I have no reason to be- lieVe.'

CANAL INQUIRY
 PANAMA ROUTE
Believed by Member of Commission to Be the Better-Darien Route
 Impracticable

Washington, Feb. 1s.-Colonel O. IT. Ernest of the Isthmian canal commits sion, was before the committe on inter- oceanic canals of the senate today. In his preliminary statement he said that cuts on the Darien route before the tunnel is reached made that route inn practicable. While it had not been cx- amined carefully. he thought it would take twenty years to construct such canal. and would cost s290. 900. 900. As member of the commission he was assigned to the Panama route particu- larly, but he went over the Nicaragua route.
 In answer to questions by Senator Hanna he said he would have recom- mended the Panama route in the first report of the commission had the offer of the Panama Canal company to sell for S40,o00,600 been made at that time and he gave the following reasons for so doing: The Panama route was shorter, straighter, lower. having four locks as against eight for the Nicar- agua, and would cost s1 ,35o. 900 less per year to maintain and operate.

MUST HAVE IT. Properly Selected Food of Great Inn
 poTtanCe.

Loss of memory is a sure sign that the body is not taking up proper ele- ments from the food. Then is the time to feed especially selected foods or the person may become demented.
 A mother writes about her son and it is interesting. My son. Albert. now p years old and principal of the - High School. graduated at the Kansas University and is a post graduate of the Columbia. Mo, University.
 When he began teaching about d year ago he had just completed his edu- ca tion and was badly broken down in health. He had only about two months vaca tion and spent it at Excelsior Springs, but when he returned, there was no improvement.
 We thought he would get better after he began his work. but instead of inn proving he became more weak and ner- vous, and finally, forgetful in the school room. He tried different phys icians and everything he could hear of and at last gave up school and came home. after putting d teacher in his place.
 I cooked every delicacy l could think of for him but he became very thin and we were greatly worried about him. One day a neighbor sent over a box of Grape Nuts. He caught sight of the package ana altef 1eaulnS the Sldte- ment of what the food was intended for. became much interested and be- gan using il.
 He liked it. and at the end of a week was very much strengthened and inn proved. We were encouraged. He stuck to Grape Nuts and in five weeks was back in the school room.
 He is now teaching the second term in the same place. has recovered en- tirely and gained wonderfully in flesh He now weighs 165 pounds and is an expert football player.
 My daughter. Georgia, eight years old. was weak little girl until after we found what effect GrapeNuts had on Albert. we put her on the food and now she is exceptionally stout and healthy. We wish to thank the Com pany for the great help the food has been to us" This lady lives at Halls vile. Mo. Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

HIGH PRIcED THRILL.

st. Paul Pioneer Press: The appeal
OF the commissioner of navigation for
ship subsidies, like that OF the adj
vocates of this policy in congress,
falls rather fiat in the face of his own
report. Not only does he show a heavy
increase in the number of steel mer-
chant vessels under the American flag
and an increase in the percentage of
goods carried under the flag, but he
regards the transatlantic merger"
as it should be regarded, as an Amer
lean institution. He considers this
merger" as the most important step
toward the establishment of American
influence on the seas which has been
taken since steel and iron vessels dis
placed wooden sailing vessels. This
is undoubtedly true. And as the mer-
ger vessels will be run in the interest
of American railways and American
industries it is a matter of absolutely
no Importance whether or not they
fly the American f1ag-especially if
that thrill has to be purchased by a
gift of some 10000 900 annually to
Mr.. Morgan and his associates.
