TRADE WITH ISLAND OF CUBA.
Exports from United states Reached
44,568,S12 Last Year.

Exports from United states Reached
80, 568,S1 Last Year.
There is probably no way Of actually
determining the effect that our reel
procity treaty with Cuba has had upon
our trade relations with that island,
says the Boston Transcript. That there
has been a very large increase in the
amount and value of the goods we have
sent there and received from there IL
shown by actual statistics. Is this
due to natural causes or to the new
and more elastic conditions? 1t Is
left to any one to draw his own con-
illusions according to his point of view
and his prejudices or predictions. 1t
is certain that the trade figures show
a tendency toward progress and mu-
tual benefit and that they make alb
surd the prophecies of disaster that
were so frequent while the treaty was
pending. The new relations have ap-
parently helped business in Cuba and
in this country, and that appears to be
a justification of their establishment.
Our exports to Cuba In 1908 were
valued at $23,5O4,417. They increased
about 30 per cent the following year
and for that lately closed they amount
ed to $44,569,S12 While the exact re-
turns are not all in 1t Is estimated
| that half of Cuba's imports came from
| this country. Our export of wheat
flour to the island has increased con
| .i1 thon ciOn6
1903, while that of cotton cloth has
more than quadrupled. In lumber
machinery and manufactured goods the
increment Is very satisfactory. The
variety of the goods shows that thu
trade Is even and healthy. Its expan
sion cannot be accounted for on tn
basis of any special or exceptional de
mand, but there Is indicated broad
ening market for all those articles, sta
pie or otherwise, which go to maxi
up the sum of our commercial transac
lions.
There Is the more reason to credi
our new agreement with being a fac
tor in this healthy development froI
the fact that we do not seem to hav
made proportional gains elsewhere.
is said that our sales to England an
Europe combined in the last two year
show a gain of only $70O0.O0O, Will
in Africa they have fallen off $4,000
600. Our exports to the whole G
South America have increased $4,000
600. while to Cuba they have increase
$21 100000, yet the former has a pol
ulation of 100000 and the latter {
only 1,750,0OO. OF course our import
have been large. We want Cuba's 81
gar and tobacco and we have purcha
ed them In large quantities, probabl
in larger quantities than ever before.

Says the North China Daily News:
1.-The following almost incredible tale
seeing that this is the twentieth and
not the fifteenth century-is sent to us
by a trustworthy correspondent: The
governor of Honan Is being spoken Of
by the men In the street in no very
fiatterlng terms. He had only one
daughter and she died. Rumor says
she was in love with an actor and
pinned away because she could not mar
ry him. However, she died her father
was determined that her favorite slave
should accompany her into the next
world, and ordered his bodyguard to
beat the poor slave girl to death.
"She pleaded to be allowed to take
opium or anything else that would kill
her, but the governor said that could
not be. for II she committed suicide
she would not be free to attend her
mistress. Report has 1t that the gov
ernor himself got SO enraged because
the girl died 80 slowly that he himself
finished the CHASTITY deed.
This is worse than the Canton vice
roy's recently drinking the blood of @
decapitated bandit; but it shows what
savage instincts may still linger in Chi
nese high officials"

RUSSIA'S ELECTIONS
DEMOCRATIC STRENGTH CAUSES
PANIC IN GOVERNMENT ClCLES.
Dramatic Effects Looked for-Prer1ier
Whites Hand 10 Greatly Strengthen
ed in His Fight Against Reaction
ists-Success of Big Russian Loan Is
Assured-Witte Visits Emperor.

A panic has been created in the Rus
sian government circles by the
strength developed by the constitu-
tional democrats in the elections
which may have dramatic consequen-
ces. The issue between reaction and
reform, which has been hanging In the
balance, was Unexpectedly precipitaf-
ed by Premier WHITE. The elections
have greatly strengthened the pre-
mier's hand in his fight against the
reactionists, and he now feels strong
enough to challenge General Trepom,
Minister of the Interior Durnovo and
the entire reactionary cabinet.
Less than fortnight ago the pre-
mier was decidedly pessimistic and be-
lieved that the majority in the lower
house of parliament would be conser-
vative and that the entire program for
reform might be overthrown. The re-
suits of the elections, however, con-
vinced him that the radicals will con-
troll the house and that an attempt to
thwart the popular will as expressed
by the ballot box would be fatal blum
| der on the part of the government. 1t
|
source that the premier journeyed to
Tsarskoe-Selo to lay the situation be-
| fore the emperor.
| The impression is abroad that the
success of the constitutional democrats
will insure the success of the big for
eign loan of which the government is
in such urgent need.
| Monday % nroyincial conventions
met and elected 1877 members of the
lower house of parliament. The peas
ants representatives have clear ma
jority over all the other classes COM
bined. Should the radicals make any
thing like the sweep which they antici-
pate, the emperor probably will be
compelled to yield to the premier's
advice. At any rate, White seems to
have aligned himself on the side of the
, people. In effect he told the emperor
that he regarded the situation as des-
perate and that the time had come to
choose between himself and Interior
Minister Durnovo, and counseled his
majesty not only to accept the result
of the elections, but to anticipate any
demand on the part of the lower house
. of parliament for a constitution by
the issuance of a constitution before
parliament convenes, and at the same
time mark his change of policy by a
proclamation of general amnesty at
e Easter. The premier is also under
e stood to have pointed out that such q
g course would make a splendid impress
e sion.

Strike in a Hospital

A number of nurses in the Jackson
sanitarium, New Orleans, La, have
gone on strike because a negro pa
tent was admitted to one of the
wards. The nurses quit in body, de-
claring that they did not intend 10
wait on negroes. The patient was a
railroad employee on one of the roads
with which the hospital had a con-
tract. The negro nurse failed to re-
port for duty, and the white women
were ordered to attend the man. The
