EUROPE TAKING TWO

IMPORTS FROM OLD COUNTRY
GROWING LESS
Reduction Caused by Demand of
United States for Tropical and
SUBJ Tropical Products-European
Exports Values Over Billion
By Associated Press.

BY Associated PreSS.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Europe
takes two-thirds of the exports of the
United States and supplies practically
one-half of the imports, says a bulletin
issued by the department of commerce
and labor. OF the 81, ,021 100000 worth Of
merchandise sent to Europe in 1905
$239, ,000, 900 was manufactured, the other
$7S2. 200, 900 worth being largely food
stuffs and manufactured material.
In 1900 the exports to Europe crossed
the billion dollar line, and since then
have averaged about $1,050, 10000 per
annum. In 1900 the exports to all sec
tions of the world other than Europe
We're 1854 100000 in value; in 1905 they
were $49S, 100000, the growth since 1900
in exports to the nom European coun-
tries having 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 it was asa per cent. This
reduction, the bulletin says, is ap-
parently accounted for by the growing
demand in the United States for tropi
cal and sub-tropical products which are
supplied almost exclusively by the
other grand divisions of the world.
The value of these products into the
United States in 1905 was $50S,9000,000,
against $303, ,000, coo in 1895.

object being to exchange views on the
railroad rate bill now before the senate.

converged almost entirely around the
attitude the Democrats should assume
toward the question of suspension

fixed by the interstate commerce COM

pending a review of the issue on an
appeal to The courts. with the excep-
tion of two or three senator's" said
Seantor Tillman, who is in charge of
the bill on the floor of the senate, "all
those present were favorable to a pre-
vision for nom suspension of the rates
and 1 think" he added, that all the
Democrats will come around to the idea
of voting for suspension when the
issue is presented"
Other senators admitted that the dis
cussion showed that the Democrats are
about as divided in their views on the
question of amendments as are their
Republican colleagues.
Senators who were present stated that
the bill will under no circumstances be
made party issue.
Those present at the luncheon, in adj
dition to the host, were; Senators

Railway and Marine News of this city
says that the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company, which owned and Ope-
rted the steamship Valencia, wrecked
near Cape Beal last January, with
great loss of life, has prepared a set of
recommendations to be presented to
the department. of commerce and labor,
relative to additional protection on the
Pacific coast. These recommendations
were made by the masters of the COM
panys ships engaged in coast traffic.
1t is recommended that fog signals
be established at Point Piedras Plan
cas-, Santa Cruz, Monterey. Santa Bar
bara, Point Huepeme, Point Vincent
Point Iona and the east end of Ana
capa island. 1t is also recommended
that light stations be established at
Catalina island, San Miguel island and
the east end of Anacapa island.
Referring to Point Vincent, the
recommendations say:
Some of our masters recommend
that lighthouse also be established
at this point. Our superintendent, how
ever, states that a fog signal should
be either at Point Vincent or Point
Fermin. He recommends Point Vim
cent, as when the breakw9 ter at San
Pedro is finished it will be necessary
to have a light fog signal at the end
of the breakWater The question of the
best means of protection can be de-
termined by the lighthouse board, as
they no doubt have access to the plans
of the government in relation to san
Pedro harbor."

NEW YORK, March 1S.-Samucl Up-
termyer, counsel for the international
policy holders committee of the New
York Life company, today sent a letter
to Alexander F.. Orr, president of The
New York Life, protesting in the name
of the policy holders against what he
terms the extraordinary effort that is
being made by the officers of the COM
pany to obtain proxies for the annual
election. which is to be held early in
April. Mr. Untermyer's letter explains
the object of the committee and de-
clares that no election should be held
until legislation affecting the insurance
business is passed.
Addressing Mr.. Orr, Mr. Untermyer
says that as the representative of up
wards of 5000 policy holders in the
company, he has been instructed to
protest in their behalf against the
extraordinary use that is being made
by you and your officers of the agency
force of the company, who are being
pressed into the service of soliciting
proxies for the recollection of yourself
and associates as directors. at enor-
nous expense to the policy holders"
Instruct Agency Force
'I am informed" the letter continues,
that within the past few days you
sent out from your head Office to your
entire agency force throughout the
country kilograms urging them to col
lect proxies. L have before me one of
a number of printed letters and circu-
lars issued from your head Office signed
by the cashier of the company with an
accompanying form of proxy, addressed
to policy holders enclosing a biography
of each of the directors and officers
whom you seek to re-elect, including
yourself. This proxy is to Messrs. John
Claflin, Oscar S. Straus and Clarence
II. Mackay of whom biographies are
also enclosed, printed at the expense of
the policy holders.
''If these documents have been sent to
every policy holder, the cost to the
company of postage alone would be
about 100000 and the cost of printing as
much more. How you justify such eX-
penditures (to say nothing of the mani
fest impropriety of such action at this
juncture) fail to understand.
"These documents are now coming to
us in great numbers from infuriated
policy holders, with the request that
our committee take some action to pre-
vent your thus wasting the money of
the policy holders in the attempt to re-
turn yourself to office"
