WHERE OUR EXPORTS GO.

More than one-half of the exports
from the United States in 1903 went to
British territory, and practically one
third of the imports into the United
States came from British territory. Our
total exports to British territory in the
calendar year 1903 were 76S million dol
lars, or 81 per cent of our total exports
and our total imports from British ter
ritory 30S millions, or 81 per cent of the
total, speaking in round terms. These
facts are shown by an analysis of the
years commerce made by the depart
ment of commerce and labor through
its bureau of statistics. By British ter
ritory is meant the United Kingdom
and it's colonies, dependencies, and
protectorates.
The territory included under this
designation of the United Kingdom and
its colonies. dependencies, and protec-
torates contains over IL million square
miles, or more than one-ffth of the
land surface of the globe, and has a
population of 400 millions, or one-fourth
of the population of the world. The

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

LFrom the Chicago News.l
Friends seldom desert a man while
his money holds out.
It's case of minority rule in a house
where there's a baby.
Good breeding seldom causes a man
to leave the dinner table hungry.
A wise man never tells a woman
that she reminds him of an old friend.
Any man will have a good opinion of
you if you will always agree with him.
Even a swindle-proof man can some
times be taken IN by inviting him to
drink.
If people knew what the future had
in store for them the chief charm OF
existence would be lost.
Nothing turns a mans hair gray SO
quickly as trying to please a woman
who doesn't know what she wants.

REFLECTIONS OF A BAcHELo1

TFrOm the New YORK PTesS.l
Love-letter poetry is about as genuine
as stomach repentance.
1t is strange how a woman who tempts
a man can be shocked if he tries to fail.
A wornan's idea of being hospitable is
to let you hold the baby while she brags
it up.
It scares a woman half to death to
think that if she never had been born
she never would have loved her children
the way she does.
When a woman goes to see a friend to
find out if the runor that her husband
has failed in bushes is true, she speaks
of it afterward as having been out all
afternoon at receptions.

Andree Letter a Hoax.

Tromsoe. Norway, Aug. IT, The report circulated that a Nor- wegian whaler had found north of Spitzbergen bottle containing a letter from Prof. Andree dated 1898 is hoax. This is made apparent as result of a government exLe- dition seut at once to take posses sion of the letter as property of the state. The dispatch wired around the world comes from the trick of drunken sailor who wrote the letter, enclosed it ir bottle and then de- clared he had picked it up when out with companions in a small boat. The letter is misspelled and written in comparative ignorance of who and what Andree was, and the man has confessed. He will serve a term for wilfully misleading and deceiving.

The steamer Wilbur Crimmin passed down bound for Panama last week. She went to Dawson from the lower Yukon three years ago and has been plying under the British flag on the upper river ever since. She has now surrendered her British register and returned to the American flag. The steamer was allowed to come under the American flag free of charge, be- cause she comes as returned Amer ican material. She had in charge four scows carrying I5o tons of freight.

CANADIAN PREJUDICE
 AGAINST AMERICANS
ON THE INCREA A SEE
State Department is Con-
 municated With.

Washington, Aug. I2.-(Special to the Seattle Post Intelligencer. J. It is hardlysbelieved at the state department that the Canadian gov ernment will lend itself to the prej udice which is now trying to force American residents out of the Do- minion. The expulsion of an en- gineer a few days ago from an 7 Ontario town simply because he was an American has not become the subject of any diplomatic cor respondence so far as can be learned, although the incident caused some sharp comment.
 On the same day the resolution was introduced in the Canadian parliament proposing virtually to drive the American Tobacco com pany out of Canada the state de- partment received a report from Consul Holloway at Halifax in re- gard to the growing feeling against Americans ill the Dominion. MT. Holloway says the Canadian Amal gamated Association of Engineers has presented petition 10 the Do miniJn government asking for the dismissal of certain high officials of the Canadian Pacific railway engin- eering department on the ground that they are Americans. The pc tition is the outgrowth of similar complaints made against the Grand Trunk Pacific. Among the officials whose deportation is asked is Wm. r. Tyre, chief engineer of the road and one of the most important off cials of the system.
 The understanding is, Mir. Hol- loway says. that the Canadian Pa cihc company will oppose the peti- tion. and that every effort will be ,,,ats fe vatat,t fh.. nHtetafx f,, rt.aa
