The exchanges of merchandise be-
tween the United States and Mexico
are more nearly equally divided as TO
imports and exports than is the case
with most countries. In our trade with
the countries of Europe. for example.
our exports thereto are twice as great
as our imports therefrom. In the case
of Mexico our exports are no greater
than our Imports Indeed in the fiscal
year 1905 exports to Mexico were about
S1.O0OOOO less Than imports from that
country. though in 1904 the conditions
were reversed. exports to Mexico being
about S2.0O0.0OO greater than imports
therefrom.
The United States participates more
largely In the foreign trade OF Mexico
than does any other country. Figures
compiled by the department OF com
merce and labor. through its bureau of
sta tistics. show that of Mexico's total
Imports of merchandise 50 percent Is

of its imports from the United States
as does Mexico. and no other country

years trade between the United States
and Cuba has doubled. that between
the United States and Canada has
more than doubled. and that between

Feastins and Starving In Japan.

Nearly million people have perish

year, according to the East Asian, a
nese. The three provinces of Miyayi.
Fukushma and Iwati have been most
severely afflicted. and earnest appeals
are being made for help. The emperor
and empress Of Japan as well as many
of the most prominent people in social
and commercial circles are contribut-
ing. but, as the Japan Weekly Chroni-
Gle says:
Great as these Individual contributions
are, they are only sufficient to give very
temporary relief to $4,000 persons. the
number we are informed. who are in an
absolutely starving condition. Several

and waiting for the sustenance that Is

stricken that active relief measures are
being undertaken by the local government
authorities, by the newspapers of Tokyo
and the provinces and by private commit

HORSE RAN AWAY.

A horse belonging to the Hadkins'
bottling works, in Arents avenue
ran away in Amboy avenue, Pleasant
Plains, about 4 O'Clock Monday after
noon. He dashed down the avenu
at a rapid pace and in his efforts to
free himself from the wagon he
broke the shafts and one of the
springs. Louis Price, the driver, who
was in the wagon at the time, held
on to the reins. The horse kicked
back into the wagon, striking him on
the shin, but he still held on to the
horse and brought him to a stand
still. He was assisted to his home.
DR.. Meyers, of Johnson avenue, was
summoned and found him suffering
with a badly bruised right leg. This
is about the third time that this same
horse has run away and did consider
able damage. Mr.. Hadkins has de-
cided to get rid of him at once. He
will probably be taken away today.

attention of the administration TO the

Indicated by the activity of the otnclals

on Havana is spreading. and there are
rumors more or less authentic from all
directions OF new upriSinEs i'll various

Gals show an inclination not to discuss
Cuban affairs in any particular beyond

vana, confirming dispatches printed in
the daily press, there can be no doubt
from the attitude of the officials that

from Norfolk, is sailing on a state de-

official circles that she will proceed
Immediately to Havana.
President Roosevelt. it is rumored

and it is believed here that the revolu-
tionary force may be making greater
Roadway than would be supposed from
the meager news which comes from
the island. The very fact that it has
become necessary to dispatch Il United
States cruiser to Cuban waters is taken
as an indication that the seriousness
of the uprising has bean belittled.

A LIVELY

The contest for the leadership of
the democratic party in Richmond
county is becoming quite interesting
and exciting. Both sides appear to
be confident of victory. Thursday of
last week County Clerk Bostwick and
Charles Herman, the brewer, de-
clared themselves in favor of Sheriff
Mccormick. City Magistrate Marsh
publishes a lengthy letter denouncing
the methods of the present leader,
Nicholas Muller, and announcing his
fealty to Mccormick, and SO the fight
goes on. Tuesday, September IS,
will tell the tale and very many be-
lieve that the next leader will not be
Muller.
