The population is in round numbers 1ia millions, and the area 43,0O0 miles, or about equal to that of the state of Virginia
 Of the imports 45 per cent were m 1905 drawn from the United States and of the exports S6 per cent were sent to the United States. There has been steady gain in the share of the imports drawn from the United States the share in 1894 being 39 per cent; in 1902. 4 per cent, and in 1905. 45 per cent. The share of the exports sent to the United States was, in 1894 S5 per cent; in 1902, - per cent, and in 1905. S6 per cent.

Great Britain con tributed 54 per cent, Spain 187 per cent and the United States 1O.4 per cent; thus while the share of the Unit ed States shows an increase from 7.2 per cent in 1903 to 10.4 per cent in 1904. it is still less than One-fifth of that of Great Britain.

Mr. Burke came to Washington to report to the Sioux Indians from Pine Ridge and Rosebud reservations, South Dakota, their homes. Every Indian was oc- counted for during the time that they were with Colonel Cody through Con- tinental Europe, not one Indian was fined and not one was sent home which is regarded by the Indians as the worst humiliation that could come to them. Under the chieftainship of Iron Tail the 75 Ogalalla SiouXs who have been with the wild west show for the past eight months returned to their homes in South Dakota having seen more of the world than is vouchsafed I5 per cent of the white man. They were shown through the lace factories of BrusseIls. They saw the art gal leries of Paris, and they saw the Eiffel tower.

FIND JUNK IN SWEEPING
Company Which Collects Street Refuse
Complains to Board Of
Public Works

w. p. Reid manager of the Diamond
Coal company, complained to the board
of public works yesterday that the
wagons which collect the city's street
sweepings for his company were being
forced to take boxes, barrels, pieces or
bicycles and other junk that has no
proper place in street swee. ings.
The board promised him that the city
would send around a wagon to collect
the junk and leave the sweepings for
the fertilizer company.
For several years the Diamond Coal
company has collected the street sweep
ings for the purpose of selling them for
fertilizer This firm complains that
recently business men have taken ad-
vantage Of piles OF sweeplngs being
placed in front OF their places Of busi-
ness temporarily or in the alleys in
order to throw their refuse on them
and have them carried away free. This
practice, Mr. Reid claims, has caused
the fertilizer company to lose 30 per
cent of the street sweeplngs.
