The detailed figures on the exports
the first ten months Of the current ifs
cal year which have just been issued
by the treasury bureau Of statistics at
Washington show comparatively little
change In the country's foreign trade.
The figures are mainly interesting as
showing the movement of manufac-
tured articles or materials entering
into the manufactures.
In the ten months Of the fiscal year
the value of this class of exports was
$780, 20, 120 as compared with $685.
82l, 1l3 In the corresponding period Of
1902. The average gain per month was
$4,000, which il considerably less
than the average shown In the first
ten months Of the last fiscal year az
compared with the preceding period.
There was u gain Of about 100000
in agricultural implements, but this
was more than offset by the loss In
steel rails and structural Iron and steel,
the decrease in these articles alone
being $4,747, 1870. There were gains In
electrical and scientific apparatus,

tves Is especially interesting In that
only 266 Were exported rs compared
with 324 last year, showing that the
price Is much higher now than for
merly.
The Increase in imports of articles in
crude condition which enter into the
various processes of domestic industry,
articles wholly or partly manufactured
and finished articles In the ten months
indicates the great expansion of con-
sumption In the United States. In the
first ten months of the current fiscal
year the value Of imports In these
classes amounted to 5000, 192 ,05S as
compared with $I73,994, 1872 In the cor
responding period G last year. This
Is an average increase per month of
$S,019, 702. or more than fifteen times
the average monthly increase In ex-
ports during the same months.
Thus 1t will be seen that, while the
commercial and industrial activity of
the United States In the last few years
has greatly added to the wealth of the
country, II has also been exceedingly
profitable to foreign producers.
1t Is probable. however, that In the
near future the imports of certain
forms of iron and steel will greatly de-
crease, owing to the readjustment of
prices for the same articles produced
In this country. The future statistics
of imports, therefore, are likely TO
show notable changes.

THE BLOODY HAND.
A Labor Incident of Japan Told by
Native Socialist Editor.


S. j. Katayama, editor of the Social.
list, Tokyo, Japan, relates this thrilling
incident:
A bloody human hand cruelty cut off
was received by Baron Shibusawa
through the express. The old baron,
being struck down by this extraordi-
nary present, sent for police Mt once to
look after this outrageous disrespect to
the august baron.
Was 1t IL joke? If 1t was Joke, then
1t must be an awful joke! But why
was such Il deed? What was the cause
of this? Whose hand was It?
There Is IL shipbuildlng factory right
across the river Smida not very far
from the palace of the old baron. The
same Is owned by the baron, of course,
and earns many hard dollars through
the year by the work of 500 or 900 toll
ers. With the very rich booty of the
exploitation in this factory the baron
has just completed his famous trip
round the world and must have made
himself good impression on the Euro
pean money kings and common mag
mates!
Now, Ii happened that on the 18th
ult. a blacksmith's right hand was
crushed by steam hammer weighing
n ton and Il hnlf. The handle ufssfhe
hammer was directed by an old man
aged sixty two, A young man of TWEEN
~ Ave Is now lying In II hospital. A
sad fate of irony fell on this young
blacksmith, and his right hand was cut
tributcd n sum Of $50 yen or there
about to this III fated man. But tho
factory gave him not copper. There
WIS no provision for accidents that
occurred during ones employment by
the company
This hand wits sent to the baron to
arouse the right feeling on the part
OF the baron toward his employees
whose blood he has been sucking so
many years. We hear from reliable
source that the old baron WAS some
whit moved by this hand aud consid.
crng to do something for his employee.
We hope he will. He Is said TO be dl-
rector of over fifty companies and
those employ many thousands of work
crs and are suffering from cruel OPP

protection at all There are 1000 or

ChamberIain's Tariff Plans.

The tariff proposals of Mr.. Chamber
lain, the British colonial secretary,
probably just now form the most wide
ly discussed foreign topic, and they are
not without interest and Significance
to this country. At the outset Mr..
Chamberlain WIS apparently alone In
his advocacy of tariff zollverein TO
be composed of Great Britain and her
colonies, but later In the house of com
mons Premier Balf0ur, who had hith-
erto been ranked among the colonial
secretary's opponents on this ques-
ton, came unreservedly TO his support
The premier declared TINT there was
no difference of opinion between Mr..
Chamberlain and himself, repeated all
the arguments made by the former
and added others of his own In favor
of revision of Brltain's free trade
policy with View To overcoming the
tariff wills erected by other countries
and of employing to the best ndyan-
tage the trude opportunities offered
respectively by England and her colo
MES.
Discussing the probable attitude of
other countries toward Mr.. Chamber
lain's plans, the London Telegraph
says, eff we can settle with the United
States we may regard the threat of re-
talintion elsewhere with Indifference"
The paper then proceeds TO argue that

ms of British interests. How will 1t

asked by American exporters partleu-
larly of food stufls. II can readily be
seen that With IL lower range of duties
on imports from the British colonies
into the United Kingdom American
exports of food products would be ut
II decided disadvantage as compared
with those of Canada, for example.
However, whatever alarm the situa-
ton may cause Is tempered by the re
fection that, tariff or no tariff. Eng
llshmen must continue to draw their
sustenance 10 n large extent from the
products of the United States.

BERMUDA MAlDENS.
The Reason So Many of Them Decide

In proportion to population there are
more old maids In the Bermudas than
In any other part Of the world. This
is true Of all classes Of the population,
but especially of the Oldest and wealth
lest families, who have been connected
with the Islands ever since they were
colonlzcd by the Virginia company In

Five out OF six of the daughters OF

In spite of the fact that they are pref
ty, with n delicate rose flush type OF
beauty, extremely well bred and ac-

the whole of thctWest Indies.

Deep Water From Lakes to Gulf.

Deep Water From Lakes to Gulf,
The grounding of the United States
monitor Arkansas in the Mississippi
river on its return from st. Louis,
where II was sent to participate in the
Louisiana Purchase exposition dedica-
tion, has reawakened talk OF the ad-
visibility of constructing Il deep wa
terway from the great lakes TO the
gulf. The Arkansas ran aground q
short distance below st. Louis and
seemed for long time 10 be stranded
beyond hope of rescue. Then there
came n freshet In the upper Mlsslsslp-
pi which toated the vessel, and It
found fourteen foot channel to Cairo
Below Cairo the channel WAS even
deeper.
The experience of the Arkansas has
brought out some comment regarding
the proposed waterway from Lyman
Il. Cooley, published In the late issue
of Commercial Expansion, In which
he estimates that the lower Mississippi
below Cairo carries twelve feet of wa
ter for about 240 days Of the average
year.
The full capacity OF the Chicago ca
nal, MIR. Cooley estimates, must add
about eighteen inches to the low water
stage below st. Louis and half as
much below Cairo. With this addition
the stages of water on the middle Mis-
sissippi must give fourteen feet of wa
ter for about l60 days of the average
year.
The ultimate purpose OF congress,
when the recent survey was ordered,
was II fourteen foot channel from the
southern terminus of the drainage Gu
nal to St Louis. With the contem-
plated improvements ON the Mlssls-
sippi, Mr.. Cooley assumes, depth of
not less than eight feet can be main
tanned with the natural water supply.
When n fourteen foot channel has been
completed from the end of the Chicago
uTuilldEc canal 10 tHt AllSSlSSlppl, Mr.
Cooley contends. depth of fourteen
feet Will be secured below st. Louis
for 255 days In the average year.
Mr.. Cooley In urging the practicable
ity of this fourteen foot channel says
that 1t Will be closed by Ice only sew
enty days ut the northern end. and he
believes That the great lake fleet Gun
be taken out by way of the drainage
canal for winter work ON the high
seas and that shipynrds Of the lake
can deliver their output TO any market
under conditions that will enable them
TO compete with the world
Such II deep waterway from the foot
OF Lake Michigan TO the gulf of Mex
leo would cost the government mint
Of money, but It would unquestionably
be of inestlmable value to the middle
