Curious Parliamentary Item

The report of the kitchen committee
of the house of commons shows that the
past was busy session in more WAYS
than one. Up to the 25th of July no fewer
than $4,000 luncheons, $4,000 dinners.
and $4,000 teas were served, and the total
number of meals served was 81 $50. The
amount spent on cigars was G592.and on
wines 94,2S2, and the reassuring state
ment is made that the deficit of a few
hundred pounds is more than covered
by the wine in stock.

There is distinct fancy for the old

Brooklyn navy yard which says to the
sailors on board of that vessel: Thou
shalt not play the piano on the Sab

IMMENSE INCREASE
OF COUNTRYS EXPORTS
Greater IN Past Fiscal Year Than
Those of Any Other Nation.

The fact that the exports of the
United States in the fiscal year just
ended are greater than those in any
preceding year except 1900. lends spscial
interest to a statement presented by he
Department Of Commerce and Labor.
through it's Bureau of Statistics. which
shows the relative growth of the ex-
port trade Of the principal countries of
the world for a term OF years. and com
pares that OF the United States with
other countries. The table in question
shows the total value Of exports of 10
nestle products from the principal coun-
tries OF the world In 1870. 1880, 1890. and
the latest available year
Irs the case of the United States, the
latest available year is the fiscal year
ended June 30. 1903; in most other cases
the latest available year is the year end
ed December 81, 1902; in a very few
cases the latest available year is 1901
in a few exceptional cases the figures
presented are those of not only domestic
products, but include foreign and colon
ial produce re-exported, but this is only
the case In few Of the smaller coun-
tries. which do not show their domestic
exports separately from the total ex-
ports. and in these cases the share
which foreign products re-exported
forms OF the total is so small as to not
materially affect the statement
A study Of this table Of exports from
the principal exporting countries Of the
world shows some facts OF especial in
terest to the people Of the United States.
One OF these important facts is that the
United States. which occupied fourth
place in the list of exporting countries
in 1870 now shows a larger total in the
final column, which represents the lat
est available year. than does any other
country in the world. The United King
dom, France. and Germany showed in
1870 a larger total OF domestic exports
than did the United States. the figures
being. for that year: United Kingdom
S971 900 600; Germany. S552. 600 900:
France, s541 600. coo. and from the United
States. 1877 100000.
BY 1880 the domestic exports of thC
United States exceeded those OF Franc
or Germany. but were still below thos
OF the United Kingdom, the figures fOl
that year being: United Kingdom, 81.

1868 900 900, and the United States. 1924

KING PETERS SON
HELD A DEGENERATE
Cars Experts Report Upon Con-
dition of Crown Prince.

ST. PETERSBURG. July 27-whatever
hope or expectation might have been
held by King Peter and his advisers Of
the monarch quitting the Seryian throne
in behalf of his son, Prince George,
probably is effectually disposed OF by a
report which has been made to the gov
ernment as to the mental condition of
the crown prince.
At the behest of the Car a specialist
in the treatment and development of
backward children has for a week been
examining and observing Prince George.
The specialist has informed the Emperor
that the boy is degenerate.
George is sixteen years old and has
been reared under the direction OF the
Russian court 1t Is not doubted that his
education, so far as it has progressed.
was undertaken with view to his uIti-
mate occupancy of the throne of SerYia.
AS late as a month ago a well-founded
report was circulated that King Peter
would soon abdieate in the crown
princes favor.
Russia is credited with having organ
lied plot last year 20 inspire the Ser
Wan chamber to dethrone Alexander and
invite Prince George to succeed him.
The coup d'etat was baked by Austria.
All of Russie's projects with regard to
Servia, so far as they concern the crown
prince, will doubtless be abandoned as a
result Of the opinion just rendered as to
the boys state.
