February Breaks Record.

The February figures OF the Bureau
Il Statistics Just made public, show the
argest exports OF any February in the
history OF United States commerce. and
.lso that the exports for the three
months ended with February were larg-
r than those OF the corresponding pc
'iod OF any earlier year.
On the import side the figures show
continuation OF the growth which
las characterized the last two years,
md the figures OF the eight months
.ndcd with February suggest that the
IMPORTS OF the United States in the fis-
al year 1903 may exceed ST COO, 100000.
while the export figures seem likely
% exceed $1,000 100000.
In February the exports amounted 10
sI25,5o2. los, which is SI2ooo,ooo i'll eN-
:css of any preceding February. lax
ng the three months ended with Febru-
airy, 1908. the total exports are S4oI. So
200. against S2I5.I5I.47I in the three
months ended with February, 1893. These
.arge figures, the Bureau of Statistics
bulletin says. are due in part to the fact
that the new corn crop is rapidly enter
ing the markets of the world. TO which
he United States was able TO make but
slight contributions last year. the corn

been 100000 bushels, against little

MYSTERY OF BAR OF GOLD.
An Iugot Valued at S,3.500 Has Disappeared
From Union Depot Office.

Detroit. Mich. (SpeciaD No arrests
have been made as yet in connection
with the mysterious disappearance
from the Union Depot office OF the
Pacific and Dominion Express Com
pany Of bar OF gold i'll transit from
Sal, Lake City to the East. which is
valued at S23.5oo. The whereabouts oil
the precious ingot is mystery.
The missing ingot was one OF four
weighing about so pounds each that
were i'll transit from the West. pre-
sumably Salt Lake City. 1t is said that
the Philadelphia Mint was the destin-
alton OF the gold.
The four bars arrived from the West
on Wabash train No. 4 at 8 o'clock,
and were checked out by the messen-
ger in charge. They were receipted for
BY Foreman Miller, OF the local de-
pot Office. All express matter for the
East received on No. 4 is held in the
depot for an eastbound Wabash train
which leaves at 1850 o'clock. The four
ingots were taken into the depot Office
and placed in the safe.
Shortly before the eastbound train
was due TO leave they were removed
from the stronghold and loaded on
truck. to be wheeled out to the ex-
press car. The train was an hour and
a hall late however. and h is under
stood by the police that the gold was
not put into the safe again pending
the time for the train to leave. but lay
on the truck in the Office. which is on
the level OF the street. Captain McDon-
nell says that he has found that at least
nine persons were in the Office at diff
icrcnt times while the gold lay on the
truck exposed to view and that several
OF them handled it and commented on
its value. Two men who were in the
office were taken into custody. but
proved to the satisfaction OF the Off
GERS that they had nothing to do with
the disappearance OF the gold
When the train was finally ready ii
was found that there were only three
ingots on the truck \ frantic search
oi the Office was made. but no trace OF
the fourth bar was found The train
was held Tor time. but finally the three
ingots were dispatched ON their way
and Foreman Miller notified the po-
lice OF their disappearance Ii was at
first thought that the bar might have
been lett by mistake in the express car
oil train No. !. and the car was search
ed at Buffalo, but there was no gold
bar found.

Employment OF Children.
Another subject. not matter OF
submission but concerning which much
testimony was offered. is that OF the
employment OF children. Boys are en-
ploycd in the breakers. The attention
OF the commission was called 70 the
painful fact that in other industries
boys and girls are employed and work
long hours both day and night. While
the law preScribcs the ages at which
boys may be employed i'll and around
the mines and at which children may
be employed in factories or mills, it
appears from the evidence that the age
is not placed sufficiently high. Infancy
should be protected against the physi-

ploymcnt. and there ought 10 be a
more rigid enforcement OF the laws

There are some who have urged the
commission to recommend the adop-
ton OF compulsory arbitration. SO call

sired result, but we cannot see our way
to recommend any such drastic meas

United States such system would
meet with general approval or with sue

OF constitutional power to enact laws
providing for compulsory arbitration.
our industries are too vast and too
complicated for the practical arplica
