EXPORTS THIS YEAR.
Estimate That Their Value W'iU Ap-
...-,, prorimate 81 800 100000.

Unless the estimates of the Treasury officials
fall the exports of the United States for the
current fiscal year will approximate 81, 500. .0OO,
COO for the first time in the history of the ma
ton. During the year ending with March. 1903
the imports have for the first time passed the
$1,000. 100000 mark. Prior to 1870 they had
never amounted even to half that sum- and 1t
was not until 1890 that they reached the $780,
100000 mark But notwithstanding the re-
marka bic increase in imports the exports have
more than kept pace, and the excess of exports
over imports for the year ending March 81, 1903.
amounted to 13190,271. Exports never
reached $500 900 in a single year until after
1870. In 1880 they passed. for the first time.
the three quarters of a billion dollar line; in
1892 they for the first time exceeded $1,000
100000, and in the twelve months ending with
March, 1903. they were S1,414,186,954; and
should the exports of April. May and June
avera ge as high those for March. they would
bring the total expectations for the fiscal year
past the 81 800 100000 line.
The growth in imports has been especially
marked in the last five years. In the twelve
months ending with March. 1899. they were
$66O0OO00O in value; in the twelve months
ending with March, 1900. SS3S.O0O.OOO; in the
twelve months ending with March, 1902, S9O2,-
100000 and in the twelve months ending with
March, 1903. S1,0O1, $780, ,6S3. While it is not
customary to state the foreign commerce by
annual periods ending with March, the fact
that the figures snow for the first time total
importation Of 81 900 100000 in twelve months
1ustifes a presentation of the figures for an
annual period ending with March and covering
a term of years.
The following table shows the total imports
and exports in the twelve months ending with

of the March imports not yet completed, the
figures for February and for the eight months
ending with February show marked increase
in the proportion which manufacturers ma
terials form of the total importations. In the
month of February alone manufacturers ma
terials formed more than 30 per cent Of the
total imports. OF the total imports of February,
1903. 513 per cent were manufacturers mate

A CHRONIC ARMY DEsERTER.

Washington. April 10 (SpeciaD.-A most remark
able case of habtUal desertion has come 10 the
notice Of the War Department, and It frCludes
such chronic culpability that IL is deemed ihe
proper subject of a special memorandum acdFesseo
70 recruiting officers in order that the soldier with
such a record of desertion may be apprehended
when he next presents himself for enlistment.
% II Is felt sure that he will do. IN the period
from February l5 1901 to April 2. 1903. this man
enlisted eight times and deserted often. His
first enlistment was in Brooklyn under the name
of Harry E Mason. That on February 10.
1901 and he deserted on April following. He
clung TO the name OF Harry all the way through,
and this nartly establishes his identity. The eX-
merits in such matters in the medical department
say that men who desert and who re-enliSt and
others who have occasion to make use of assumed
names very often fail to get away from some
part of their real name. The second enlistment or
