JAPAN's BEST CUSTOMER.
This Country Buys More Than Any
Other Country

commercial Japan, 1901" is the title of
a monograph just issued by the Depart
nent of Commerce and Labor through its
bureau of statistics. 1t shows that the
trade relations between the United States
and Japan in recent years have grown
with greater rapidity than between Japan
and any other nation.
In 1881 the imports from the United States
formed less than g per cent of the total
importations into Japan. while in 1902 they
formed nearly IS per cent of the total i'm
portations Meantime Great Britain's
share nthe imports of Japan fell from 81
per cent to IS per cent In 1902.
The United States Is also Japan's largest
customer by reason of the fact that the
chief export products of Japan are articles
required by the manufacturers of the
United States. and which can not be pro-
duced in this country. The total exports
from Japan in 1900 amounted to 294, 400 .9A
yen (yen is equal to 81 cents, United States
currency in value, and of this amount
81 566, 1856 yen went to the United States,
80 III 455 to Hongkong, 81, 81 $50 to China.
10, $50 423 to France and 11.262 997 to the
United Kingdom; the total exports of 1902
amounted to 25S.303, 665 yen, of which 3d.
232 S05 yen in value went to the United
States. 25.S76.O59 to Hongkong. Az. SIS. 545 to
China % 2S3, ass to France and 17,3I6, 149
to the United Kingdom
OF raw silk from Japan. the total expor-
tations exceed 50,000,000 yen annually, of
which the United States is the largest pur-
chaser.
Japan's imports from the United States
have grown with even greater rapidity than
her exports to the United States. In 1881
they amounted to but 1.7Si. los yen. and in
1900 had reached g., 761 1876 yen in value.
Proportionately they have grown with
much greater rapidity than the total inn
portations of Japan, our share of her i'm
port trade having increased from 5.72 per
cent in 1881 to 1901 per cent in 1!,92. while
the United Kingdom. our principal COMPETE
tor in that market, which furnished. in
1881 52.57 per cent of the total imports of
Japan. supplied in 1902 1853 per cent. In
the fiscal year 1892 our total exports of
domestic merchandise to Japan amounted to
IS. 2SS 2S2. and in 1862 to $21, 1879 7a6 OF this
total. the largest item of export was raw
cotton. which aggregated s9.05s. 800. the
next largest item being iliumna ting oil,

SUPREME COURT NOTES.
Points of General Interest in Opinions
Recently Handed Down.

The United States Supreme Court, in an
opinion by Justice White has affirmed the
decision of the court of appeals of the
state of New York in the case of the Third
National Bank of Buffalo against the Ger
man Insurance Company. The question In
volved was whether a stakeholder in ma
tionaI bank organized since 1864 can trans
fer his stock when in debt to the bank.
The court held that such transfer could be
made under the congressional enactment
of 1854 emitting the mandatory provision
of the act Of 1863.
Justice Harlan has delivered an opinion
in the case of the Great Southern Fire.
proof Hotel Company against B. f. Jones
and others, sustaining the validity OF the
Ohio state law giving subcontractors a
lien on building material supplied, and af-
firming the opinion of the circuit court of
appeals for the sixth circuit The case
originated In connection with the erection
of buildings in Columbus.
In an opinion by Justice White the court
has directed that the decree of the circuit
court for the district of Massachusetts, be
reversed at appellants cost in the case OF
the Newburyport Water Company against
the city of Newburyport. The decision
was based upon the lack of jurisdiction,
and the lower court is directed to dismiss
the bill Justice White said the claims of
jurisdiction were 80 attenuated and UNI
substantial as to be absolutely devoid of
merit"

VARIOUS TOPICS DISCUSSED.
Military Academy Appropriation Bill
Before the House.

The House yesterday afternoon began
consideration of the Military Academy ap-
preparation bill, with an agreement that
general debate should be limited to five
hours. Representative Parker of New Jer-
sey reported the measure. He briefly ex-
planned the provisions of the bill. paying
particular attention to the necessity for
the proposed appropriation of $300,OOO for
completing the work of increasing the water
supply at West Point
Under the license of debate Mr.. Livernash
(Cai) discussed the labor question, and
charged President Roosevelt with having
turned the executive arm of the government
against the men who work. That arm,
he said had arrayed itself on the side OF
special privileges and despotism. and asso-
ciated itself with the men who hire ana
against the men who are hired.
Mr.. Goldfogle IN. " spoke on his resolu-
ton. introduced in January last. in reference
to the United States exercising every eifort
to secure from the Russian government
uniform treatment of Americans travelling in
Russia whether they be Jews or Christians
He declared that Russia continues to ABUSE
and dishonor the American passport When-
ever presented at her gates by jewish GU
zens.
Mr. Robb (Mo) delivered a speech against
the republican party. and claimed that the
Post Office Department was reeking with
corruption, and in the general land once
frauds and crimes had been committed in
volving millions of acres of land worth vast
sums of money
Using as lis text the remarks of Mr..
Hardwick (Ga.) on the negro question IN
the south, delivered in January last, Mr..
Morrell (Pa) said that the ambitious or
aspiring negro was treated as an outcast
in this country to a certain extent, as the
Jew was treated by the degraded peasantry
in Russia He denied that the state of
Pennsylvania imposed restriction on the
negro, as charged by Mr.. Hardwick.

PHILIPPINE CHURCH PROPERTY
Efforts to Reach a Settlement Of the
Controversy.

Secretary Taft and Governor Wright of
the Philippines are in correspondence with
view to arranging some satisfactory
method of settling the dispute between the
Roman Catholic Church and the Philip
pine Catholic Church, of which latter Bish-
OPP Aglipay is the head. regarding the
ownership of certain churches and con-
vents in the Philippines.
In most cases the question of title Is
complicated, by reason of the fact that
while the buildings were erected under di-
rection of the Roman Catholic Church on
crown lands, donated for that purpose by
the Spanish government, the money and
labor for the buildings were provided by
the people of the different provinces where
the buildings are located. Because of this
fact certain of the municipalities claim
jurisdiction in the matter and have turned
certain of the churches and converts over
to the followers of Aglipay.
Secretary Taft has consistently held that
the questions in dispute affecting the title
to the property should be determined by
regular process before the courts and the
particular point now under consideration
is how best to accomplish that result
through the judicial hearing of test case.
1t had been suggested that the War De-
partment appoint proper tribunal for the
adjudication of these cases, but the sug-
gestion is not regarded favoraDly by the
authorities who prefer their settlement
through the courts in the regular way SO
as to permit final appeal to the United
States Supreme Court if necessary.
