The remarkable growth of Japanese foreign
commerce during the first six months of this
year, especially of imports from foreign countries
Is shown in the June monthly return of the for
eign trade of the Empire of Japan, copy of
which official publication has just reached the
department of commerce and labor through it's
bureaus of statistics. AS compared with the six
months figures for the previous year. the inn
ports show the remarkable increase of 56.9 per
cent, from $90,952 600 to $142,659,00O, while ex-
ports for the same period show relatively in
significant growth of less than per cent from
$6S,45S,000 to $71,098O00. 1t is of interest to
note that while the largest increases in imports
credited to the United States the United
Kingdom, and British India, the largest in
creases in exports occur under the head of China
United States, and Korea. Thus imports from
the United States for the first six months of the
year 1905 $51, 921 ,000 as against SIS, 900
during the same period of 1904; imports from the
United Kingdom were $32,623, 0O0 AS against
$16.982,000; imports from British India were 1884,,

The Portsmouth conference is one of the
shortest on record. There are precedents for
the waving of monetary indemnity, the United
States having done in the Spanish war Among
great peace treaties which have consumed SO
much time are: The treaty of Paris January H.
1884, in which the independence of the United
States was recognized and peace between Great
Britain and her erstwhile colonies restored took
fourteen months to negotiate The treaty Of
Washington, May g. 1871 admitting the Alabama
claims to arbitration, had been under discussion
since November 20, 1862. The seven weeks war
between Prussia and Austria, which eliminated
in the battle of Sadowa, terminated by the
treaty of Prague, August &c. 1866, which was
seven weeks negotiating. The treaty of Zurich,
which ended the Franco Prussian war of 1859,
was four months in being ratified. The treaty of
Frankfort, May 49, 1871, putting an end to the
Franco-Prussian war, had been under discussion
since January %, 1871. The treaty of Con-
stantinople, December 4. III, ending the war
between Greece and Turkey, took almost three
months to arrange. The treaty of Washington,
August H. 1898, ending the with Spain, was
signed in less than three weeks but it left a
number of points to be decided by peace con-
gress, which met later in Paris. The treaty of
Vereenigng, ending the Boer war; was in process
of making from March 20, 1901, to May 80, the
same year.

There is general belief in navy circles that,
as a result of the Bennington inquiry it will be
demonstrated that the navy reorganization scheme
adopted some years ago has failed in the respect
that the engineering work is neglected. Under
this reorganization the old engineering corps was
abolished and the engineering work was placed
in charge of officers of the line and part of
their duty was to see that the engineering is
DONE Under this arrangement it is possible for
these officers OF the line to shirk engineering
duty for things more pleasant. Secretary Bona
parte has referred the report in the Bennington
case to Captain Dieh judge advocate general,
and 1T is expected that a determination shortly
will be reached regarding the recommendations
at the court of inquiry. At the time of the dis
aster the president informed Secretary Bonaparte
that he desired report from the secretary
upon the subject, and it is the intention of Mr.
Bonaparte to forward to the president such
report within three of four days. This report
will cover the general conditions and probably
will comment upon the working of the naval
personnel law and it's relation to the steam en-
gineering department of the navy.

Great Britain is preparing to benefit it's mil

phone company, the monopoly of monopoes"
with an issued capital of over $45,000,OOO will
be bought by the nation at it's present vaua-
ton, and the postofice will commence it's am
bilious and difficult task of providing cheap

gathered from the fact that the company has

in an annual revenue of over 100000 In
London there 1878 of these stations The
business of the postoffice is baby business by
the side of that of this company. The last annual
report Of the postmaster general recorded 1852
instruments in London and 1914 in the provinces.

The principle of municipal ownership of street
railways has been definitely adopted in Berlin,

parties. cablegram to the Chicago Daily News
states that municipal transportation projects
involving an expenditure of over 100000 900,

to the fine surface system of electric railways

for the same period of the year 1904. AS regards
imports from other countries, they have in
creased at much lower rate, or else show de-
creases. The exports during the same periods
were largest for China which IS credited with
$21,932,0OO as compared with $14953,000 during
the first six months of 1904. The United States
ranks next among the countries to which Japa-
nese products destined the figures for the
first six months Of 1905 being $4,000 900 as
against $19,910,000 for the previous year. In the
third place now stands Korea, with $5,852,00 as

The exports to France of Japan's large GUS
toners OF silk, have fallen from 900 DUR
ing the first six months of 1904 to $5401 900 DUR
ing the first six months of 1906 The exports
to the United Kingdom have likewise decreased
from $4,343000 to $3,335,OOO while exports to-
Germany have fallen from 81 O9S,OO0 in 1904 to
S1,045,OO0 in 1905. The leading position of the
United States in Japanese foreign commerce is
seen from the fact that this country furnished
22.4 per cent of the total imports during the
first six months of 1905 as compared with 147
per cent of the total imports during the same
period of 1904, and is credited with 1856 per
cent of the total domestic exports during the
first half year in 1905 as compared with 291
per cent of the total domestic exports of Japan
for the first six months in 1904.

CLOSE coMMUNIoN COVE:

There is to be no such thing as

churches any more, according to a
dispatch sent out from New York.
which states that no longer VIII
there be close communion IN the
Baptist denomination. After an
existence of more than century, be-
ginning in New England, its recog-
milton ceased Wednesday, when rep
resentatives of three national organ
izations-the American Baptist
Missionary Society and the Baptlst
Publication Society-met in the Lee

Tt was the first definite expression
Of union to emanate from the meet
ING of the interchurch Confederate
on Federation. The two groups
forming the Baptist denomination
were divided only on the question
of open and close communion, the
church government eing the same
and immersion being adhered to py
both. At the meeting presided oVel
by Rev. D. Nathan F. Wood, Presi
dent of the Newton Theological In
stitution, resolution, in substance
as follows, was adopted:
eHThe doctrinal differences which
once divided the two denominations
have passed away, and there nov
exists no doctrinal differences which
should prevent their acting together
as one denomination"
efThe action of the Conference re
calls the time in 1871, when the latt
Rev. John Hyatt Smith; of the Lee
avenue church, now Payton''
theatre, who afterward became 8
representative in Congress, was, with
his church, excluded from the Long
Island Baptist Association because
he believed in open COMMUNION. The
congregation struggled along fol-
wears before it was forced to disband
The members of the congregation
afterward became the First Free
Baptist Church, now the Marcy
avenue and Keep street, of which the
Rev. DIR. Rivington d. Lord has

The new condition, if true, VIII
be a strange one to many in the
faith, and the doctrines of the
church will have to be considerably
revised and we'll learned before some
get accustomed to the change.
