Increase in Russian Imports.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The State Department has received a re-
port upon the Foreign Commerce OF Rus
sia" from Consul Monaghan at Chemnitz-
Germany.
In the course OF his report the consul
says that for 1903 the total imports into
Russia by way Of the European frontier
were valued at $500. 500. 900: in 1902 at $780,
100000 and in 1901 at sos, 800 coo. The
United States ranks third among the coun-
tries importing goods into Russia. 1t has
doubled its exports to Russia during the
last three years. the main article Of in
crease being cotton. German statisticians
have shown that the increase of $1s. 400.0 900
recorded for Germany dring the last three
years represents raw materials and half
manufactured products OF other countries
reaching Russia by way OF Germany. The
United States ranks last among the leading
countries participating In the export trada
OF Russia.

Coal Shipments.
Anthracite coal shipments during June
reached the highest monthly figure OF the
year, SIPS 795 tons being reported. The
total for six months was 29,257 ,O7 tons.
being somewhat less than that OF 1903.

shipped 5.27S.415 tons, compared with A.
S59, 445 tons last year.
The Chesapeake and Ohio railway to May

with 255S.61S tons in 1903. These figures
include both coal and coke. For the same
period the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
handled S947 .927 tons. as against 9.30S.671
tons in 1903. The decrease in this case Is
Que almost entirely to the lack of demand
for coke.
Shipments Of coke from the Connellsville
region have thus far not equaled the ton
mage of last year. The first twenty-six
weeks of this year $50. 100 cars were ship
ped, averaging 9.S77 cars per week. Last
year the average was 1871 cars, and H.

Named Timbervills.
A Anal settlement has been made Of the
Mississippi post Office incident by the POST
master General. and Vardaman. the name
requested by some residents of the locality
for the newly created once. gives place to
rfmberyille This decision has been made
public by Postmaster General Payne. who
says that the President is not officially
aware of the controversy which has been
waged regarding the name and who had
nothing whatever to do with the action Of
the Post ONCE Department In the case.
The reasons given by the Postmaster
General for refusing to name the new Of
flee in honor of the governor of Missis-
sppi are in effect that that official Is re-
sponsble for language In a newspaper
which was so vile as to be UNIT FOR repro
duction The language Is said to have
been directed against the mother of Pres
ident Roosevelt and was so extremely viru-
lent in it's character as to shock its read
ers The explanation of the Post Office
Department. by authority of the Postmas-
ter General. follows:
ION the 9th day of May. 1904. a petition
was filed with the department asking for
the establishment of post office at GER
tain point in Calhoun county. in the state
Of Mississippi and requesting that 1t De
named Vardaman.
Immediately the usual investigation
made by the department as to the neces-
sity for the establishment of the Office was
undertaken Pending the inquiry, a copy
of the Daily Clarion-Ledger, newspaper
published at Jackson Miss. dated August
%, 1903 was filed with the department,
containing an article to which the depart
ment's attention was called. This article
was a copy of an editorial printed in the
Commonwealth under date of January 10.
1903, which paper is published and EDITED
by Governor Vardaman. The article in
question was so vile and indecent in Its
statements concerning the mother Of the
President of the United States as to be I'M
fit for reproduction. The Postmaster Cen
eral did not esteem 1t proper to give a
post office the name of any man who had
used such language regarding any woman.
The post office in question has been ordered
established and given the name of Timber
Vile.
I'm exercising the discretion given him
by law the Postmaster General frequently
rejects names suggested for proposed post
offices. He has never been clearer as to
his duty than in this case.
at is proper to say that President ROOse-
welt had no knowledge of the incident re-
ferred to-

Receipts Of Live Stock.

Top prices Of cattle. hogs and sheep at
Chicago averaged follows for six
months: For cattle weighing 100 to
1850 pounds. 1914 per hundred; last years
average was 1888 for the corresponding
twenty-six weeks. and that of 1862 was
$7.35. The abrupt lowering of prices from
1902 to 1903 amounting to "a per cent
was discouraging to producers. though the
price thus far in the current year has been
16 cents better than in 1903. Prices of hogs
for the first half of the past three years
were So 2G in 1904. S7O4 in 1903. and 81 in
1902 Prices of western sheep varied from
$5.12 per hundred In 1904 to $500 In 1903
and $50 in 1902. In 1902 1905, 767 sheep
were received at the five markets in the
six months. while this years arrivals
amounted to 4,G9. O16 head. or an increase
of One-thfrd over that of 1902.
