Growth of Our Commerce
 Abroad in Ten Years
EXP0RTSALMOSTDOUBLE
A Pleasing Increase in the Volume of Material Required From Other Countries - A Particular Strength ening of Canadian Relations.

Washington, Feb. 14-The growth of the foreign commence of the United States from 1893 to 1903 presents some interesting facts. The department Of commerce and labor through it's bu- reau of statistics, presents a table showing the imports and exports by grand divisions in each calendar year from 1893 to 1908, thus bringing the figures down to the very latest date possible. This table shows that the exports from the United States to Europe have grown during the period named from $6S0, ,0O0, 900, speaking in round terms, to $1, ,OS7, 900 GOO, or 50 per cent; those to North America, from S125. 1000. 900 to $227, 900, ,OOO, or S1 per cent; to South America from S34 ,CC0,60O, to SAG. ,000, or 35 per cent; to Asia and Oceania, from $31, ,0GO, 900 to $92.OOO, coo or 197 per cent, and to Africa from practically S5.O00.OOo to $31. .00O. .OOO. or 4SD per cent; while the growth in total exports has been from $S76, ,OOO OOO in 1893 to s1,4S4.C 4.COO,G0O in 1903. or 69 per cent.
 It is proper to add that the figures of exports to Asia and Oceania are slightly misleading in view of the fact that shipments from the United States to Hawaii, which in 1893 were classed as exports, are not so included at the present time, because of the fact that Hawaii is now a customs district of the United States and the shipments to Hawaii are no longer included in the table of exports to foreign coun- tries. If the shipments to Hawaii in 1903 were included, the total exports from the United States to Asia and Oceania would be S104 ,O0O, 900 in 1903. instead of s2,00OO0O, thus making the real percentage of increase to Asia and Oceania 235 per cent.
 On the import side, imports into the United States from Europe show a growth from S392, ,00OOOO in 1893 to $52S.- 0C0,000 in 1903, or 8 per cent; from North America from S171, ,00O, GOO to s1S2, GOO, ,000 or : per cent; from South America, from S103, ,OOO, ,O00 to $lI3,OOO.- eco, or per cent; from Asia and Oc- eania. from s102. 900 to $151. 900. OO0. or 5S per cent, and from Africa, from S4,0OO,0O0 to Sl1,O00. 900, or 175 per cent: while the total imports show growth from 776.000,600 in 1893 to s995, ,O00. 900 in 1903. or 2S per cent of increase.
 In a word, it may be said that our exports to Europe have increased about 60 per cent. from 1893 to 1903: those to North America, S1 per cent: to South America, 33 per cent; to Asia and Oceania, 197 per cent. and to Ar rica, A34 per cent; while the percent age of gain in total exports is 69 per cent. In imports the percentage of growth has been, from Europe. 9 per cent: from North America, per cent: from South America, 9 per cent; from
 
 from Africa, 155 per cent; while in the

APPEAL FOR RELEASE.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Japan will appeal to the United States to prevail upon the Russian government to re- lease 100 Japanese subjects reported to be detained at Port Arthur. The best naval opinion here is that the de- tention of the Japanese is a strategical necessity to prevent the Japanese from gaining information about the fortifi- cations. troops, etc.
 Although Russia's answer to Secre- tary Hays note, asking her to respect the neutrality of China and localize hostilities has not yet been received, the state department knows indirectly that. Russia will reply favorably.

BANK CASHIER SHORT.
Examiner Finds Discrepancies in Ac-
 counts of New Hampshire Bank.

Wolfboro, N. H., Feb. 14.-A shortage of about S25,0e0 in the accounts of the WClfboro Loan and Banking company has been discovered by Bank Examiner ,Alpheus w. Baker, of Lebanon. and the savings department of the company has been closed pending further investigS- ton.
 The shortage is alleged to have been due to erroneous bookkeeping on the part of the cashier, Charles F. Piper, who for more than a year has been an invalid.
 No accusation has been made against MT. Piper. As the bonds given by him nearly cover the shc,tage, it is thought that the institution will not be affected by the trouble. The company has a capital stock of s5O,OOO and deposits of $221, ,563

Cabbage Snake Harmless.

| Washington SPECIALIZE the in-
formation that reached the Depart
ment Of Agriculture IS true, and
there is much to confirm it, the
entire Southern country has been
seized with alarm over what are
termed .'cabbsge snakes" Hun
dreds of acres Of marketable cab
bage are going to waist for want of
a market. mud cabbage seed for the
time being is a drug on the market.
These stories originated in Ken
lucky and Tennessee, but nave
since found their way INTO Georgia,
South Carolina and Louisiana.
The country people speak of the
worm as sort Of creation, thick
as n borse hair, and several inches
long, even to the length of ten.
inches, and say that as It makes its
home in the head OF the cabbage
it imparts to the vegetale its pois-
onous qualities.
The matter became so serious
that the department took the sub.
ject up, and through its agents,
made an investigation Of the com.
plants. 1t vas found that the
animal" Is neither q snake or an
insect but worm. While it lives
upon the cabbage leaf, it does not
survive upon it, 20 that the cab
bage is in no wise injured by It's
presence. 1t is perfectly harmless,
not At all poisonous, and, being an
enemy of the caterpillar is really a
factor in the destruction of that
insect, and to that extent beneficial
to the cabbage plant-I'mes Dem
ocrat. 1 !
