of Interest to American People.
Publishers Press1

washington, sept. a report is
sued by the department of commerce
and labor says: Commerce Of the
United States with Cuba during the
fiscal year just ended was greater
than any earlier year Of the ,rade re-
lations between the United States and
that island. This is particularly true
of exports. The imports from the is
land fell slightly below 1905, due to
the fall in price Of sugar, but the ex-
ports to the island were % per cent
greater than in 1905; 75 per cent
greater than in 1904. and about 120
per cent greater than in 1903. Elk
ports TO Cuba aggregated s47, 763 ,6s8
in 1906.
Of the FIVE articles forming the bulk
of our imports from Cuba, sugar
amounted in value in 1905 to sec, 000.-
900, tobacco 100000, cigars and
cigarets s4.000.0o iron ore $4,000. 900
and bananas s1,000,0o Tobacco,
cigars and cigarets and iron ore show
an increase in the fiscal year 1906 and
bananas show reduction of over
100000 in value in 1906. as COM
pared with 1905.
The increase IN shipments to Cuba,
while visible in many articles. occurs
chiefly in manufactures Of iron and
steel. of which the total exports to
the island were s9.s79.6 48 ii 1906,
agaipS. s6,164 sos in 1905.

A new treaty defining the rights Of
American fishermen In Newfoundland
waters is the probable outcome of Mr..

will be the instructions he will under

is believed at the state department
that fully one-half of the seizures OF

by ignorance on the part of fishermen

| The municipal household of the city
| of Richmond was taken under the
protecting wing of the officers of the
| Wayne County Automobile Club yes
terday/ afternoon, and a tour of 81
miles of the city's streets was made
| in order to permit the drivers of the
aYSos to point out to the city officers
6me of the street blemishes that
fmight be eradicated.
Prof. r. l.. Sackett, A. d. Gayle, J

the automobile organization and the
city officials who were given seats OF

three members of the Board of Works

Toured the City.
The procession of autos started
from the city hall at o'clock and I'M
der the captaincy of Prof. Sackett, a
tour of many of the streets were made
on both east and west sides of the
river The auto club stands for
good roads and good streets and the
courtesy of the clubs autos was ex-
tended SO that the new city officers
might view the thoroughfares and see
what work might be done to improve
then.
Appropriation Small.
With the appropriation which the
street department has always had and
which has always been limited, the
streets of Richmond are in good con-
dition, though some thoroughfare S
over which there is heavy hauling are
featured with deep ruts in many
places/
OnS of the thoroughfares which it
was Agreed should be put in better
condition, is National avenue from
tho western corporation limits, Earl
h I'm cemetery, to the eastern termi-
4 The great amount of travel along
this stretch of street, day after day,
though a great deal of work has been
done upon it.
The Board of Works seemed deeply
with the idea of oiling
streets and the coating of dust that
covered them at the end of the auto
tour, strengthened their opinion that
covering of crude petroleum on the
would help some
Streets which Ave been under re-
pair during the summer, and eSpec-
ialy those which have been treated
by the steam road roller, are in excel
lent shape, but as stated above, there
is only a limited amount of work of
this sort that can be done if the cost
of street improvements are kept
within the appropriation.
