NATION BREAKS RECORD.
Foreign Commerce Total for Fiscal
Year Is 035,07O,333.

All records were broken BY the for
eign commerce Of the United States dur
ing the fiscal year which closed June 80.
For the twelve months the experts and
imports were valued at $2635, ,07O, 1888,
compared with 2,451 ,914, ,642 during the
previous year, which was the largest on
record. The imports were valued et ST.
117,507,500 and exports at $1,51S. .462,-
1913, both new high records.
An unusual feature Of American for
eign commerce is the small increase in
customs revenues, Notwithstanding the
large increase in imports. Dutiable mer-
chandise imported reached value of
$500, 0,O71 ,23S, an increase of sea. ,1O7
over the previous year. Nevertheless,
customs duties last year amounted to
$262, 2,060,51S, or less than $1,00e.000 in
excess of the duties collected IN 1904.
Reciprocity with Cuba reducing the du-
ties on sugar and tobacco, together with
imports remaining in warehouse upon.
which duties haven OF been paid, account
for the small increase in revenues.
The articles showing the largest In
creases in expectations during the eleven
months for which details are available:
Corn, an Increase Of S16,O00Oee, as CON-
pared with the corresponding period Of
1904.

The reduction of exports Of wheat and
wheat -four was due in part to the made
quacy of the domestic crop to furnish
any considerable surplus over the home
requirements, and in part to unusually
large crops in foreign wheat-producing
countries. Exports of wheat from the
United States during the fiscal year Just
ended have been even lower than the
year before.

o,,- Fall distribution of COM
UlllGdQU. comodities is of excep-
e--J tional proportions, indi-
eating that business generally is max
Ing satisfactory progress. The de-
mand for money for commercial pur-
poses has not suffered from the I'D
vanced cost Of borrowing, nor Is
healthy expansion in industrial enter
prise interfered with, funds being am
pie for known needs.
Dealings were seasonably stimulat-
ed In fashionable retail lines and the
aggregate buying reflects improved
consumption of necessaries.
Heavy shipments have been made
to many points in the West and
Southwest, but the pressure upon for
warders has not yet ceased. Farm
work In the winter wheat sections is
about over, and this permits increas-
Ing activity at country stores in per-
sonal and farm requirements.
The markets for raw materials ex-
hibit further strengthening in demand
and higher prices developed in pig
iron, steel bars, leather and hides, the
latter material scoring the highest av-
erage In forty years.
Iron and steel commitments again
were on n record-breakfng scale, the
added demands extending the period
OF assured work into next midsum-
mer. Other factory work is more ami
mated, more hands being employed,
and improvement is seen in machin-
cry, heavy hardware and furniture
making. Leather working trades are
more fully engaged and building con-
struction discloses no abatement.

a portion of School street, ordered
finished by the Board had been cover
ed with the heavy rock base, and rock
was also being laid on Kuakni street.
Fort street between Vineyard street
was almost finished.
He recommended wood block pave
ment on Fort between Hotel and Allen

TO THE JAPANESE
INDICTMENTS ARE
READY TO SUBMIT
THoRNE's TESTIMONY is IN d.
RECT OPPOSITION TO THAT OF
PRESIDENT SHEA CONCERNING
THE ALLEGED BRIBE.

Chicago, June 2.-lndictments connect
ed with the teamsters' strike have been
voted by the grand jury and will be re-
turned in Judge Barnes court tomorrow.
The names of the men indicted could not
be aseertained this evening.
II was reported. however, that bills
would not be voted in connection with
the charge made by President Shea Of
the Teamsters union that he was offered
$4,000 to call a strike against Sears, Roe
buck & Co. 1t was found that the sta
tutes of limitation barred any indict-
ments. and the evidence given was largely
of hearsay character. 1t was rumored
that some indictments would be based
on the charges of conspiracy to injure
the business of number of large con-
Germs, and it was also said that some
indictments would be found for perjury.
There is nothing definite. however, in any
of these statements
Robert j. Thorne, general manager for
Montgomery, Ward q Co, was before
the grand jury this afternoon, and while
denying absolutely all knowledge of the
$4,000 said to have been offered to shea
and other labor leaders, declared that he
alleged offer of $4,000 was made. This
evidence is direct opposition to that Of
fered by Shea and Albert Young, former
president of the Teamsters' union.
The members of the teamsters joint
council will tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock inform Mayor Dunno of their
final decision regarding the proposition
of the Chicago Teamowners association
to arbtrate the question of deliveries TO
fha hoveotted houses 1t was proposed
TODAY that this matter be left to a COM
mittee of seven representing the team
sters and like number acting for the
Teamowners association. This was do
cided by the teamsters and they said
they would consider the matter, promis-
ing to make final decision by tomorrow
afternoon.

EXTRA SESSION Is
PRONOUNCED MYTH
MR.. LIVINGSTON SAYS THE PRES
lpENT'S RECENT ACTION WILL
REBOUND IN THE FAVOR OF
DEMOCRATS.

Washington June 2-(Special.)-ln the
opinion of Representative Livingston of
Georgia the reported determination OF the
President not to call Congress in session
until after the fall elections and perhaps
not at all, will work to the advantage of
the democrats In the fall elections this
year The matter, he believes, may have
some effect on the result of the congress
sonal election a year hence.
Mr. Livingston said this morning that
there was a general understanding that
the President intended to call Congress
in extra session in October, and his fail :
ure to do so would undoubtedly be taken
to mean that he was weakening on the
railroad rate legislation problem.
ut looks to me- said Mr.. Livingston,
'as if the President has not been treated
exactly right by the republican Senate
and House leaders We STAYED off an eX-
ira session this spring with the under
standing that there would be no objection
to an extra this fall Now the leaders are
hocliing to the White House to influence
the President against any extra session
at all In view of the fact that the pro-
grammme has been changed from October
to November 1t will not be surprising IL
Congress meets in December" .

EXPERTS DIFFER IN
CRITIcIZlNG RoJESTVENSkY.

Some experts criticize Rojestvensky for
essaying the Tsushma channel. Others
uphold him, saying that his only chance
lay in going through that channel The
impression prevails that RoiestYensky
was totally unaware of the presence Of
Togo's entire fleet off Tsushma. Many be-
lieve that 1t was necessary for Togo
to take a station at pivotal point from
which il would be possible to intercept
