REFORM, as represented in the AS
sembly, again repudiated itself by re-
fusing to repeal the vessel taxation law
and substitute system more equitable
and just to other property owners OF the
state. The present system OF taxing
vessels, three cents to the ton, defrauds
the state Of thousands OF dollars
to which it is justly entitled each year
and there can be no good reason why
vessel property should not be listed by
same system as other taxable values
Senator Randolph, of this city, was one
of the active workers for the passage OF
the repeal Of the vessel tax law and ap-
peared before the joint committees OF
both houses to urge the more just sys-

EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES.
Some Interesting Facts and FigureY
Regarding This Growing Conn
mefcial Interest.

The growth in the expectation of
manufactures from the United States
and their distribution to countries and
grand divisions are discussed in much
detail in a monograph prepared by tho
treasury bureau of statistics for pub
licat ton in the Summary of Commerce
and Finance. 1t shows the exporta-
tions of manufactures In each year
fr ON 1890 to the present time and their
distribution country by country and
article by article in each year from
1892 to 1909. The expectation of man
Nfhctures has grown from $1,243, SAT in
1890 to 1850, 456in 1850, $1O2, $50, O15 in
1880, $751; ,102,376 in 1890, and $103, 641,-
401 in 1902. In 1900, manufactures
formed els per cent. of the total do
nestle exports; in 1880. 1903 per cent;
in 1880, 12.4S per cent; in 1890, 1877
per cent, and In 1902, 29.77 per cent.
This shows that the exports of manu-
features are increasing much moro
rapidly than those of other great class
es of the exports. This growth in the
expectation of manufactures is espe-
cially marked in the period since 1898.
In that year, 1895, the total exports OF
manufactures were $1S3, 595, TAB, having
gained $s1 900, 600 in the Is years be-
tween 1880 and 1895. In the eight years
from 1895 to 1903 the increase was
$220,000,0 900. Thus in the eight years
since 1895, the increase in the expor-
tation of manufactures has been near
ly three times as much as in the IS
years Immediately prior to 1895.
The statements of the distribution
of the manufactures exported also
show some striking and interesting
facts. They show, for example, that
practically one-half Of the manufac-
lures exported from the United States
go to Europe, and that the ex-
porta tons of manufactures to Eu-
rope has grown from $4,000, 600 in 1892
to $197, 100000 in 1902. To North Amer
lea, other than the United States, our
exports of manufactures have grown
from 500, 000, 900 in 1892 TO 500, 200, 900 in
1902, of which $54 900, 900 value went to
British North America. British terri
tory, including both the United King
dom and its colonies, takes one-half
of the manufactures exported from the
United States, or 5000 100000 in round
terms, of the total expectation of $780,
900, 900 in value in 1902; while the Unit
ed Kingdom alone took 500, 100000, or
one-fourth of our total expectation of
manufactures in 1902.

Twenty-Five Dollars to Owner
In MIdOcean.

The latest thing the Marconi wire
less telegraph system has done is to
correct financial mistake in mid
ocean. The Cunard Bulletin, published
on the Campania, which has just ar
rived at New York, explains the affair
as follows: Sunday afternoon, when
about seven hours (say about $50
miles, out from Queenstown, well out
in the Atlantic and speeding along on
our voyage, we were called from be-
hind by the Crooks haven station, in
county Kerry, on the southwest coast
OF Ireland, by the following message
from our Queenstown offices: Mrs.
llaggerty, the Irish lace vender, when
on board the Campania this morning,
was handed $50 instead of $25 by man
saloon passenger and would like to re-
turn it. Please have inquiries made
THE message was Immediately
posted and in a few minutes the owner
OF the money, well-known New York
merchant, was found, and the differ
ence OF S25 refunded by the ship, The
amount will be collected on our return
from New York from the lace vender
through our Queenstown agent.

MENAGERIE ON SHIPBOARD.
Some Of the Animals Got Loose and
There Was an Interesting
Time for Sailors.

From Caledonia, New Zealand, there
recently arrived in Philadelphia the
Danish steamship Kronborg. Previous
to loading at Caledonia she had been
to Australia, says the Philadelphia Tel
egraph, and at the Australian port the
sailors, to a man, secured pet. There
were two wildcats, a brace of vicious
tiger cubs, a kangaroo of no very
amiable disposition, a small colony OF
monkeys, and several black parrots
with white topknots.
Things were comparatively peaceful
until the KroEborg dropped anchor;
then trouble broke loose in the me-
nagerie. The wildcats developed all
their native wildness and the tigers a
thirst for human blood. Even the
kangaroo showed n desire to be re-
venged upon his captors, and all sue
ceeded in making the ship an unhealthy
place.
When wildcat got loose the unload
ing of the vessel came to stop. The
stevedores fled from the vessel, and
for a time the wildcat had undisputed
sway. Finally he was overcome and
taken back to his cage. Then there
was trouble with the tiger cubs. They
were full of fight, and did not hesitate
to give battle to all who approached.
The representative Of local firm of
ship-chandlers was rash enough to go
too near the cubs quarters. Later he
was searching for new suit Of clothes,
for those he wore had fallen victims to
the tigers claws.
Nor was this all. The monkeys got
loose, and vertable reign of terror en-
sued. These kings of mischief invaded
the cooks gallery, and stole the meat
that was cooking for the sailors meals.
Others stole the potatoes, and ran chat
tering up the rigging and masts The
meat-stealer hurled the fruits Of his
theft at the indignant seamen, and
those who were armed with the pota-
toes bombarded the crew and defied
all efforts at capture.
This all occurred in one day. IF
many more such things happened, the
men on the Kronborg felt pretty sure
that the geological garden would re-
| ceive several interesting beasts before
the ship left mort

THE Legislature will be generally
commended for the passage of the act
increasing the per diem OF Court jurors
from 81 to 3d. Jury service is mandatory.
Any citizen, except the comparatively
few who are exempted by law, is liable
to be summoned into Court and forced
to serve as II juror, no matter how much
it may interfere with his private bust
ness or how disinclined he may be to
perform the duty imposed upon him and
heretofore he has been among the poor
est paid servants Of the state. Of course
there are in every community men who
are anxious to be drawn on juries at
the rate Of two dollars day, but they
are the exception, and usually are not
the class of men wanted for the jury
box. In many cases juror service is a
real hardship, though it is one of the
most important positions to which a
citizen can be summoned.

that the Secretary Of War has definitely

MARKING SEA LEVELS.
Government citing Iron Posts to In
dictate Elevations In Various
Parts of the Country.

One of the preliminaries in the prep
aration Of topographic maps by the
United States geological survey is the
accurate determination of the eleva-
tions above sea level of numerous
points In the area to be surveyed.
These points are marked by what -
technically known as "bench marks"
which ordinarily consist of iron posts,
3h inches in diameter and four feet In
length, set three feet In the ground.
Each has a brass cap appropriately
lettered, on which the elevation above
sea level to the nearest even foot 10
stamped with steel dies. In the noun
famous and rocky areas of the west, in
addition tothese posts, aluminium tab
lets lettered like the caps on the posts
are set with GENE Mt in holes drilled in
solid rock.
A law Of congress requires that this
work shall be done in all localities
under survey, and many thousands OF
miles Of lines have been run and
marked in this way.
Level parties In the Rocky noun
tains are always provided with camp
outfits, and consist of the levelman-
who is also the chief of the party and
must be a skilled mana rodman, a
teamster, and cook. During the
past seasons work in the Rocky noun
tains there were parties of this kind at
work in two or more localities in Mon
tana, Wyoming, U1ah. Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona and Texas, In addi-
ton to those in the adjacent states.

WHERE WILL IT STOP?

ONE Of the abuses Of the present day
government of the State Is the commits
sion, created ostensibly to regulate the
professions and trades and protect the
public from the unskilled and poorly
educated practitioner, but in reality to
to provide soft sit for some politi-
clan who must be taken care of by the
party for his service in placing the rep
resentatiye in power. The extent to
which this distribution Of spoils has
been carried on Is illustrated by figures
submitted TO the the Legislature last
week during the debate on the BARRIERS
license bill, relative to the cost to the
state Of -intaining the twenty five
commissions already created. There
are 1919 appointees under the commissions
and in two years the expense has been
