manufactures Now Form One-third
of the Whole.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Manufac.
lures now form one-third of the exports
from the United States, larger pro-
portion than in any preceding year.
The figures Of the bureau of statistics
for the ten months Of the year for
which data are now complete show
that manufactures formed during that
period 1921 per cent of the total ex-
ports of the country, while the highest
percentage in any preceding fiscal year
was that of 1900 in which the exports
of manufactures formed 81 65 per cent
of the total exports. In no other fiscal
year have manufactures formed as
much as 80 per cent Of the total ex-
ports. The figures of the ten months
now available indicate that the total
exports OF manufactures during the
calendar year 1902 will reach about
100000. or more than in any pre-
ceding fiscal year save in the excep-
tional year 1900, when the total was
S433, OuU.OuO.
One feature of the expectation of
manufactures which is especially in
teresting and important Is the large
proportion Of manufactures which find
market in the chief manufacturing
countries Of the world. A statement
prepared by the bureau of statistics
shows thof r1r i'm, L,l
manufactures exported from the Unit
ed states now go to Europe, the great
notwithstanding section of the world.

GENERAL GRANTS
WIDOW IS DEAD
Succumbs to Heart Failure
After a Long Illness From a
Severe Case of Bronchitis.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-Alrs. UIys-
ses s. Grant, wife of President Grant,
died at her residence in this city at
11:17 o'clock last night. Death was due
to heart failure, Mrs. Grant having suf-
fered for some years from valvular
disease of the heart, which was aggra-
waited by severe attack of bronchitis.
Her age prevented her rallying from
the attacks. Her daughter, Nellie Grant
Sartoris, was the only one of her chill
dren with her at the time of her death,
her three sons, who had been sum-
moned here, all being out of the city.
Mrs. Grant had been suffering with
a severe attack of bronchitis for some
time. and later valvular disease of tho
heart, together with kidney complica-
tons, developed.
A sudden change for the worse in
her condition occurred Saturday night.
kilograms were sent to Mrs. Grants
sons General Fred D. Grant. COM
nandcr OF the department Of Texas;
Ulysses s. Grant, Jr., and Jesse Grant,
both of whom are at San Diego, Cal,
notifying them of their mothers con-
aition and urging them to come at once
TO Washington
Mrs Grant spent last summer at Co
burg Canada, but her condition at
that time was far from good. She was
taken quite i'll in October, and on the
advice of her physicianSthere she was
brought hurriedly to Washington in a
special car, arriving here on Oct. II.
She had been confined to her bed most
Of the time since then, although on
several occasions she had succeeded in
walking about the house and had been
out of doors once or twice. Mrs Grant
was about seventy-iive years old.
In early life Mrs. Grant had always
been noted for her rugged constitution.
She decided in 1899 to make Washing
ton her permanent home and bought
from former Senator Edmunds his
handsome residence in Massachusetts
avenue. She paid $4,000 for it out of
her private funds and has lived in it
almost continuously since.

tanned. Every tax payer in the
county wants it maintained.
We have no fear of an alliance
with Democrats. The man who
suggested that so artfully yesterday
may have such a desire. Perhaps
he dreams of profiting by such in
fanny. Perhaps he has profited by
1t before. Who knows But wheth-
or or not, he has no sympathy in
his present efforts to disrupt the
Republican Levy Court. He can
get no newspaper support for it.
No honest journal of this county,
OF either party. would countenance
1t. The honor and the welfare of
the county demand continued har-
mony among the majority members
OF the Levy Court This is con-
coded even by the Democrats. This
was the lesson of reorganization in
1901 and Mr.. Hopkins is the last man
III the county to dispute the wisdom
OF that lesson. Not for thirty years
has our Levy Court enjoyed the re-
spett of the tax payer, SO generally
as Is the case at present. This is
due to the good sense, the integrity
and the harmony of the Republican
members. Whoever conspires to
change this wholesome situation is
an enemy Of the county and de-
serves the condemnation of every
tax payer
