Merchandise Sent by U. S. to Europe
in 1905 $1,o21 ,ooo, 900.

Washington March 1S.-Europe takes
two-thirds of the exports of the United
States, and supplies practically one-half
the imports, says bulletin issued by the
department of commerce and labor. OF
the 81, 01, 10000 worth of merchandise sent
to Europe In 1905, s239 100000 was manu-
features. the other $4,000 worth being
largely food stuffs and manufactured ma
terials.
In 1900 the exports to Europe crossed
the billion dollar line. and since then
have averaged about 81 050, 600 per an
mum. In 1900 the exports to all section
of the world other than Europe were
1854, 900, 900 in value; in 1906 they were
$49s 100000 the growth since 1900 in ex-
ports to the European countries hav-
ing been proportionately greater than
that to Europe. Prior to 1890 the share of
the imports drawn from Europe averaged
about So per cent; in 1905 1t was 1914 per
cent. This reduction, the bulletin says, is
apparently accounted for by the growing
demand in the United States for tropical
and sub-tropcal products which are sup
piled almost exclusively by the other
grand divisions of the world.
The value of these products brought
into the United States in 1905 was sos, 000,-

PARKHURST JOINS
THE ANVIL CHORUS
PAYS HIS RESPECTS TO PRESl-
DENT FOR COMMUNICATING
GEN. WOOD AFTER SLAUGHTER
OF MoRos.

New York, March 1S.-1n his sermon on
the relations of so-called Christian ma
tions that are pagan. the Rev. DIR. Charles
II. Parkhurst referred today to the re-
cent killing of Moros, and President
Roosevelts congratulatory dispatch TO
General Wood.
Consider" he said, 1.-THE easy and self
satisfied way in which we regard the
moving down of the savage and semi
savage In the Philippine Islands when
they stand In the way of the national
purpose. of which after eight years Of
benevolent assimilation we have just had
most startling and heartrending exam
pie In the bombarding to death of six
hundred men, women and children killed
in a crater in The Moro Islands.
"There are two things to be said about
the jubiant congratulation sent by the
chief executive to General Wood. The
first is in reference to the designation of
the performance as a brilliant feat of
arms. Basing our estimate on the report
rendered by General Wood. it was no
more a brilliant feat of arms than smok-
ing bees out of hive or rats out Of a
nest.
But sadder feature of the executive
communication to General Wood is that
1t contained not one word of sympathy,
one note of tender distress, In view of
the indiscrininate slaughter 'perpetrated
in honor of the American flag We have
been taught to believe and we like to
believe that the President has a great
heart.
And so I think to prefer of that ca
b1egram composed as 1t was in the pres
enee practically of mangled men, torn
women, armless and headless children-l
prefer to think of It not as being the
expression of the man Roosevelt but of
President Roosevelt, in whom officially
the heartiessness and the greed of I'M
| regenerate nationality is functionally rep
resented
with the exeeptance of the mainten-
ance in the south of negro slavery, there
has been, | should say. nothing sadder in
our history than the national attitude i'm
which we today stand as toward the
little brown people of the Philippine
islands,
