HOW TRADE FOLLOWS THE FLAG

Commerce between the United States
and its newly acquired territory is grow
ing with remarkable rapidity. In 1897,
the year preceding that in which Porto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippine islands
came under the American flag, the ship
mentS to those islands were, according
to the figures of the treasury bureau of
statistics, s6.773s $50. In 1901 they were
over $3O000,000, and in the fiscal year
just ended they will be, according to
the best figures that the bureau of
statistics can obtain, fully 5000,0 900. To
this may be added the estimate of s15,-
100000 of shipments to Alaska. in the last
year. This would bring the total sales
of American goods in the non-contigu-
Gus territory of the United States up
against about $18,0o0,OOo in that same
territory in 1897.
Considering the figures In detail, the
bureau of statistics finds that the ex-
ports from the United States to Porto
Rico, which were in 1897 81, 1888, 1888, were
in 1900, $3.50, 499; in 1901, s6,SG1 917, and
as they were s9,651 600 in the II months
ending with May, it is safe to assume
that the figures for the fiscal year
will show a total of over SO 900, 600 Of
shipments to Porto Rico for the year
ending June 80, 1902.
To Hawaii, the exports in the fiscal
year were s4690,075; by 1899 they had
reached 1905, 470; in 1900, $40, 500, 14S
Subsequent to that time the statistics of
shipments to Hawaii are based upon
estimates supplied by collectors of Gus
toms at San Francisco and Honolulu,
ard are put at SIC. 1000 as conserva-
tive figure.
To the Philippines the exports in 1891
were $94. 5s7; in 1899 they were s404 1913;
IN 1905 s., .449; in 1901, $4,027, 064 and
in the full fiscal year 1909 will be fully

To Alaska the shipments in 1894 were

bureau of statistics has been able to OBJ

1901, 1880. 600. and for the fiscal year

ports from Porto Rico were $2,181, 924

The New Evangelist.

In changing the paper to magazine
form The Evangelist is moving with the
wise trend of things, as paper which
is in touch with its time should do. 1t
is also without question promoting the
convenience of its readers, who will find
the smaller form of the paper more
agreeable to hold, and more convenient
to file away and its new type more
pleasant to read.
The hour of changing the form and
dress of the paper is the fortunate hour
for making its spirit, true always to its
past, yet more true to the appeal of the
moment and the need of the future.
Happy in its title The Evangelist will be
all the more true to its past in seeking to
become more obedient to the call of
present and future. Evangelization is
the watchword of the hour, the note of
religious progress, the business and hope
of the church. To make the paper
more than ever the servant and the
helper of the church, it will need to be
none the less the leader in its most pro-
gressive thought, ideals, purposes.
And as the thoughts of men are
widening with the progress of the suns,
so must the scope of The Evangelist
widen. True to its history as a Presby-
terrain organ, it will serve its con-
stituents by the persistent purpose. at
whatever cost, to give them that wider
outlook over the Church of Christ which
intelligent Presbyterians need in direct
proportion as their loyalty to their own
church deepens. To this end an i'm
portant feature of the new Evangelist
will be larger and more comprehensive
review of the religious press, and of the
secular press in its utterances on re-
ligious subjects, that has ever yet been
successfully carried out by any religious
journal. The news of the Kingdom, the
Church of God throughout all the world,
will be given to our readers in all the
fullness which newly adopted methods
will make possible, in the Religious
Review Department. 1862

Cuban Postal Matters.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-President
Elect L. Estrada Palma of Cuba. ac-
eompanied byGonzales de Quesada, had
conference with Postmaster General
Payne and other postal officials. They
asked that this government continue
the existing postal arrangements with
the island and that the present postal
officials now in Cuba be kept there I'M
til the Cuban appointees have become
thoroughly familiar with postal opera
tons. AS a result of the conference
the present postal relations between
this government and Cuba, including
the domestic rates of postage and ex-
change of money orders, will be con-
tinued by joint action of both govern
ments until a postal treaty shall be
concluded between the two govern
ments. The American officials now on
the island will be authorized to remain
if they wish to do so until the Cuban
regime is working smoothly
