OUR TRADE WITH CHINA.

The growth of American trade with
China and the increasing popularity of
American goods in that country are
shown by two official statements which
have just reached the treasury bureau
of statistics. One of these is the report
Of the foreign commerce of China in the
year 1901, by customs districts, which
contains the detailed reports of the Gus
toms officials of each district, as we'll
as a standardization of the total COM
nerce of the year; while the other con-
sists of some extracts from the report of
the British commercial attache in China,
Mr.. ]. W. Jameson.
The general report on the commerce
of China for the year 1901 shows that
the imports from the United States have
grown from 5O93.1S2 taels in 1895 to
2S, 529, COG in 1901; while those from Great
Britain grew from 80 $50 $50 taels in 1895
to Al, 22S, 5Ss taels in 1901, those from
Russia, from 1871 65S taels in 1895 to
3,O15 756 taels in 1901, and those from the
continent of Europe, Russia excepted,
from 1852 099 taels in 1895 to 17,046, 453
taels in 1901, showing much more
rapid gain proportionately in imports
from the United States than from the
United Kingdom or other countries of
Europe.
Cotton goods and flour are the items
of importations from the United States
which show the greatest gain, and in
cotton goods especially the increasing
popularity of the American product
seems to be causing some anxiety on the
part of European manufacturers and
representatives of European manufac-
turing countries. Commercial Attache
Jameson, commenting upon this fact
says: Cotton manufacturers are find
ing it increasingly difficult to compete
with the United States, particularly in
the ooarser grades of cottons." The
American manufacturer, he says, en-
joys advantages in the way of geo
graphical position, transport rates and
improved machinery. In gray goods the
competition is especially strong, while in
other lines American goods are at least
holding their own. In cotton yarns the
United States has, up to this time, made
no effort to supply the demand, Great
Britain, Japan and India being the chief
competitors for that class of merchan-
disc, nearly all of the cotton yarn ex-
ported from India being sent to the
markets of China. The value of cotton
yarns imported into China in 1901 was

HE'S POSTMASTER.

Eligible as Represen tative.

The supreme court heard the peremp-
tory writ of mandamus this morning
brought by U. B. Sharpless to compel
the state board of canvassers to give
him a certificate of election as represen-
tative from Atchison county.
B. P. Waggener appeared for F.
Laughlin. who is contesting with Sharp
less for the seat as representative
Laughlin was elected by six railroad
mems votes cast away from home under
the provisions of the new law. In the
Atchison court Sharpless brought action
to mandamus the canvassing board of
Atchison county and order them to re-
convene and throw out the railroad
vote but he was too late. Then he ap-
pealed and the supreme court allowed
stay. Waggener claims that as Sharp
less is postmaster at Moran that he is
not entitled TO be representative wheth-
err he was elected or not. Sharpless at
torneys claim that the law allowing rail-
road men to vote away from home is
unconstitutional.

in the front. Flounces continue in ia
vor, but short, plain coats and skirts
are la mode for morning wear. For
afternoon and visiting, the long skirts
are in evidence. Very trim are the
short skirts with curved seams, or
made with one or two shaped frills,
or sometimes they have short kilt,
or two crossway folds of selma
terial.
Sleeves are the greatest difficulty
we have to contend with, but on gen.
eral outlines they may be sorted thus:
For ordinary outdoor costumes, the
bell'shaped and bishop sleeve, and the
ordinary sleeve full from the elbow,
and caught into cuff, are the best
to adopt. For visiting dresses the
plated sleeve full and loose over the
elbow, banded into very deep Charles
l. cuff, or, for stout figures, the plain
sleeve, full at the back from shoulder
to wrist, caught in at intervals with
straps of silk and velvet or tiny but
tons. For full evening dress the Vic
torian and the elbow sleeve are in evil
dence.
Bodices are less pouched. The
crossover style is gaining ground, and
there is quite possibility of the
plain-ftting habit bodice being taken
into favor once more.
Collars are all on the lines Of

Charles I. style, being very soft and
SO large that they are almost capelets
falling over the shoulders. In fact.
any collar or capelet that lends
breadth to the shoulders is the whim
of the moment.
Boleros are much in vogue, and
boast of wide collars, basques or short
tails. Furs enter into their construc-
ton largely, especially broadtail and
all black furs.
Macaroons of passementerie with
hanging drops or tassels trim the new
sacque coats, which are made in three
different lengths, j. e., very short like
a bolero, three-quarter, and quite
long. They are of colored cloth, silk,
velvet. silk gauze matte, brocaded
with velvet flowers, or plain, black
coats have two or three shoulder
capes; in fact, all the latest coats
have either very large collars, or else
these capelets. The new capes are
also provided with huge collars which
turn up or down at pleasure.
Regal velvet gowns are every wom-
ans dream, and the peach-like bloom
on some of the new velvets would
tempt a saint.
In headgear there are picture hats,
toques, and an endless variety of pan
ama-shaped felts, with crowns. and
brims of contrasting hues. Toques
made entirely of the plumage of the
lophophore and other tropical birds,
are as lovely as they are fragile.
Shapes of silk or velvet are trimmed
with fruit, such as cherries of silver
or scarlet velvet, or velvet apples,
grapes and plums.
Boas are fiat and wide, the latest
are of shot or chine silk fringed with
chinchilla or sable, with large heart
shaped muffs frilled to match. Very
picturesque stole capes are being
made in Paris. They are richly en-
broidered and trimmed with frills of
lace or deep chenille fringe.
Dresses are trimmed with bias folds
of silk of some contrasting color, over
which silk cord or bebe ribbon is
crossed like lacing.
There is rumor, too vague to be
important, that we shall wear colored
leather boots; meanwhile, the bronze
shoe is now considered very smart!
The latest colors are: poussiere or
dust, dull, blush plum, all varieties
of Indian military and fruit reds,
pure violet that goes by the name of
eveque, and lovely golden brown,
which is called capucine. Blues are
not very popular, except the real navy,
and greens have the first place
amongst smart colors, grass green,
leaf and apple green, and yellowish
moss green, being the most used.
