Washington, January G5.-The record marked change in the share which the various ports have had in the distribu- ticn O. the exports Of the United States. The Gulf rorts saow a faI.ng If of about l2 per cent in exportations us compared with last year, and the Atlantic coast ports a decline of about 10 per cent; while the lake and north Crn border ports show a gain of per cent. the Pacific coast ports a gain of 70 per cent, and the Mexican border ports an increase of 9 per cent. These marked contrasts, in which the ports tributary <C the Atlantic show re- dUCtiCn and those on the Pacific OF ircutiag upon contiguous territory show an increase, are in keeping with the general trend of the years com UerCe, in which exports to Europe show a marked decline. and those to Asia and to the contiguous territory at the north and south marked growth. ENpcrtF Co EuIopr especially were af- itcted by the crop failure Of last year, since bTeadstUffs and provisions from the large proportion Of the sales of the United States to that part of the world; while our exports to Asia MeXi- co and Canada were less affected by crop failures; since manufactures from tho bulk of our sales to those parts of the world. Hence the decrease in eAipments through glIf and Atlantic ports and the increase in those through Pacific ports and those fronting upon contiguous territory
 Coming down 10 details, however, che business of the principal ports pre- scnts some sharp contrasts in the proportion of loss or gain. On the Atlantic frontage.

say positively to which side the disaster
 must befaH
 The advocates of statehood are mucH
 encouraged by the vote Of last week, and it has been demonstrated that there is a majority of the senate favorable 70 the bill. They declare that it is pre- posteroUs to ask them tO yield. The o2- position urges that the vote was not
 a test ct all and that it was no real in
 dication of the attitude of the senate.
 They say that the bill is standing n
 the way Of other legislation and they contend that it must get out of the roaI and remain out when the appropriation bills begin to press to the front as they will soon do.
 It is probable, however. that with some exceptional times the bill will hold
 place in the fIont ranks during the
 week, It is the intention. however. 10
 use the appropriation bills only in case there should be an effort to hold night sessions in order to secure action on the statehood bill. Mir. Quay has more than
 once indicated his intention of asking the senate to "sit continuously" whicn
 means that he is contemplating night
 sessions.
 The general understanding among the
 friends of the measure is that the pro-
 longed session test will come early in the week. uUssibfy about Tuesday night.
 but the Pennsylvania senator so far : has failed to make an authoritative an
 uouncement to that point. Mir. Quay
 now asserts his intention to press the
 bill more industriously than in the past, and the opposition is just as pro Eounccd Tn the dcclaratioa,of it's inten- 1 tion to resist it's passage. They say the ] bill cannot pass, and some of them an
 nounce that they would rather take the
 responsibility for an extra session Of 1 congress than to have the statehood bill | become a law.
 When the question is again taken u9
 Mir. Burnham will proceed with his
 speech. and now the plan is to have l Kean follow him. Beveridge will also be heard on the bill. and the opposition
 IS prepared if necessary to introduce l extraneous matter for the purpose os preventing a vote. For instance. one 1 of the senators has on his desk a copy
 of an encyclopedia speech delivered by Mir. Quay during the ccnsideration of
 the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill, which he
 threatens to read. and another has al 1 hand d voluminous history of New Mexico. If night sessions are attempted | the opponents of the bill will resort to
 other hand it is admitted that the sup
 porters of the bill will take a bold stand
 against allowing any other business to
 proceed until vote shall be secured
 on the statehood bill. Some will eveD
 go to the extent of excluding the ap-
 propriation bills.
 There is some apprehension on the part Of the bill's supporters that there l may be an effort to uuduly discuss and delay the consideration of the appro-
 priation bills in order to delay the | statehood bill, and such a course would be resented. The work of the week will | begin with the diplomatic appropriation bill tomorrow. There are several spec i2l orders for the week which will con- sume more or less time.
 Senator Cullom will make an effort
 to secure consideration of the Cuban
 treaty and the Panama canal treaty

Primary Certificates.

State Supt. Stockwell has sent out
a letter to county superintendent re-
garding primary certificates.
According to the report of the com
mittee of superintendent at their re-
cent Glendale meeting it was under
stood that this primary certificate was
to be granted only to those who hold
a second grade certificate or better, or
who have completed a course in some
they shall have thirty-six months of ex-
p%erience in primary grades, including
the first grades and they shall be ex-
amined in such subjects the depart
ment may prescribe.
The department has given the mat
ter considerable attention. and has
decided that it will require examina-
tions in the following subjects:
Theory and practice and psychology
as now required in the first grade GER
tificates, together with examination
in each of the following subjects:
Methods in Primary Reading; Pri-
mary Language; Primary Numbers
and Nature Study. The requirements
SO far as the standings are concerned
will be the same as for the first grade
certificates.
The object in issuing these primary
certificates is for the benefit of teach
ers who make primary teaching a pro,
~fession. They complained that they
! could not keep up with the higher
branches. entirely foreign to their
work and asked that they be exam.
ined only as to the efficiency in the
work which they were doing 1t is
conceded in educational circles that
it really requires more ability to teach
in the primary grades than in the
higher branches and those who under
take primary examinations are not 90
ing to find them a snap by any
means
