Now York City.-"The danger or IN

The real danger OF the international

Il is not only 4 pity. but reproach,
that the children of the men VINO nave

lieve that the older civilization, with

Small Chameleons.

-Four dwarf chameleons" have just
been presented to the Zoo, where they
will be popular on account Of the ease
with which they can be kept and their
bright colors. Green with black-red
patch upon the sides is the general
pattern of their hues, which is only
varied to duller tints when the animal
is vexed in any way. This smallest
among the tribe. called by Mr.. Grant
Allen the "Reptilian Vicar Of Bray"
is only five inches long. including its
relatively long and prehensile tail. The
little creature has a grim look when
seen full face, by reason Of the SER
rated fold under the throat. which sug-
gests a fercely untrimmed "Newgate
fringe" There are very many kinds
Of chameleons; but all Of them, like
the present species, have an inocdinate
desire for mealworms, slow and
meditative gait, and eyes which move
languidly up and down in a manner
reminiscent Of "ducks that die in tenn

PRESIDENT. AT SYRACUSE.
He Reviews n Labor Parade and Speaks
to 10000 Persons.

Syracuse. \. Y.-Thirty thousand
people from Central New York and al
the inhabitants of Syracuse suffered
the excitement and perplexities Of
four-ringed circus Labor Day. They

THE wage-worker Is only we'll of

should heartily welcome every effort
which has for it's object to secure fair
dealing by capital, corporate or indi.

TRADE WITH NEW ISLANDS
Uncle Sam Did Round $i0o,000,000
Worth of Business.
First Opportunity Offered For Accurat.
Estimate Of This Comm erce-S5, ,0oo,-
600 In Gold From Alaska.

Washington, D. C.-Commerce be.
tween the United States and its non.
contiguous territory amounted to over
$100,0O00OO in the fiscal year just
ended This figure includes about
S5,000000 worth Of gold bullion pro-
duced in Alaska and brought into the
United States. Even excluding this,
however, and including only merchan-
disc in the calculation the total
amounts to $95,51S.000.
This is the first opportunity which
has been offered for an accurate meas.
urement and analysis Of the commerce
between the United States and its
non-contiguouS territory since the an
neXation of the Hawaiian Islands and
Porto Rico. AS there was no law pro.
yiding for the gathering Of statistics
from the new customs districts spe-
cial law was enacted which applied
to the case, and the result of the fiscal
years operation is just available. The
law, when enacted. was made broad
enough to include the statistics of the
commerce between Alaska and the
ports of the United States, as we'll as
that Of Hawaii, Porto Rico. the Phil.
ippines, Guam. the Samoan Islands,
etc. The result is Indicated by the
Department Of Commerce and Labor,
through it's Bureau Of Statistics, as
follows:
Shipments from the United
State to its non-contigu-
Gus territory. 1908 ...... $50, T22.o4i
Receipts of merchandise
from non-contiguous ter
ritory. 1903 ............ 5s,so4,717
Gold bullion received from
Alaska domestic produc-
tom ................... 4,719,579
Total .SlOO ,33i ,Zoi
While these annual figures are the
first Of any official nature which the
country has had of the commerce
with Porto Rico and the Hawaiian
Islands since their annexation, it is
practicable to compare these with the
figures Of the commerce with these
islands in any year prior to anneXa.
ton. because of the fact that COM
MERGE VIII tuelu WIS always McdS'
ured and reported when they were
foreign territory. This is true also
with the Philippines. In regard to
Alaska no accurate statistics Of the
commerce were gathered prior to the
last year, but estimates were made
for former years, which give a fair
basis for comparison. 1t is practicable,
then. to compare the commerce Of 1903
with that of 1899. for all Of this terri.
tory which now has become part of
the United States.
