DEAD IN STREET
Ten Year Old Boy EIecirocuied
 by Touching Live Wire.

Joseph Manklvich, aged ten years of s2 South Leonard street, was elcc- trocuted yesterday morning on live wire belonging to the Connecticut com pany opposite 022 North Main street. The Identity of the victim was not cs- tablished until this morning when Miss Katherine Mahaney of roop 6, Duggan school, called at Mulyille's morgue and recognized the body as that of one of her pupils. He was , bright, clever appearing boy, and was on bis way to the North end to play game of ball when he thoughtlessly caught hold of the deadly wire that hung suspended within his reach. It was shocking sight as the little fel- low wreathed in agony while large number stood by powerless to lend Il hand. He was finally taken off the wire by Albert Cooley, all employe of the American Ring Go, who used q pair of rubbers to protect his hands with. It is perfectly safe to handle a live wire with rubber on ones hands, but. everybody is not aware of this. About 2,200 volts went through his body. His thumb was burned off the hand and wrist blackened and the electricity tore an opening in the left arm near the wrist, scorching his shirt and coat. Medical Examiner Crane viewed the body and ordered it re- moved to Mulville's. The wire was noticed down before 10 o'clock, but the accident did not happen for over an hour later, so that somebody blunder- ed. Whoever first noticed the live wire should have remained on the ground to warn people of the danger until an officer or somebody represent ing the company appeared and took charge of it. It was said that the com- pany was slow in responding after it had been notified, and that prompt action would have prevented loss of life, but MT Meth, construction supor- intendent, denies this and claims that they were on the road very shortly after hearing that the wire was down. Mrs. Amelia A. Holmes, who lives in the house in front of the place where the accident occurred is said to have shouted to the boy not to touch the wire. but If so it is evident that he didn't hear her or misunderstood what she said, for. the next moment he was fastened to the wire and then it was too late to help hrm.
 Fred Hotchkiss, who lives at that point too, saw the wire squirting and knew the risk to life from contact with it, but unfortunately he turned around to talk to somebody and before he had chance to give the matter the attention 1t demanded the youngster came along. It Is understood .hat several saw 1t, but nobody had the presence of mind to constitute him. self guard for a. few moments and as a consequence instead of going to the ball field for a few hours sport Joe Mankivich was hurried into eternity The boy Is survived by his parents, three brothers and one sister

This Country Has Acquired Much
 Territory in Ten Years.

Washington, D. C.. August 3-A wonderful era of growth in the import and export trade of the United States with its non-contiguous territories has developed. With the exception of Alaska, practically all of this territory has been acquired by the United States within the past decade. yet the commerce which has been built up in the few years amounted in the fiscal year of 1907, ended June 30th, last to SPA, 100000.
 To appreciate properly this immense commerce. 1t must be understood that ten years ago we practically had none of 1t. Of course, there was little trade between America and the terri tory now classed as non-contiguous prior to Its acquisition by the United States; but 1t has increased enormous ly in the years since the Spanish American war.
 Few people In this country. en- grossed as all are in the affairs at home-personal and governmental pay much heed to what is going on between the United States and it's outlying territory, unless they happen to be interested in the relations in a financial way. Many persons talk among themselves of the dlsadvan- tages of the outlying possessions of the United States to the government, with out taking into account the immense advantages which have accrued to this country through increased trade. Quite naturally. 1t cannot be deter minded by mere figures whether the advantages offset the disadvantages or not, because the control which Amer lea exercises over it's non-contiguous possessions is not merely matter of dollars and cents. The responsi- bllity of this country over the foreign peoples who now are under the Amer lean flag cannot be expressed wholly in a financial way. It Is clear. how ever. that the people of America. in many respects. have been benefited by the acquisition of new territory not only in a financial, hut in a soclo- logical way. The country has devel- oped through the weight of reSp0u- sIbIllty placed upon it and 1t has taken its place among the great powers of the world in the promotion of the cause of humanity.
 The cold figures show conclusively that the United States has not suffered appreciably on account of the acquisi- ton of these outlying territories. During the past year our exports to these territories aggregated more fllan $s7.O0O00. as compared witi about sIO.O0OOd0 in 1897. while the imports into the United states from the ter ritories amounted to q little lees than sT5.0o0Oo0. against about s24.00O. DO ten years ago. These figures for im- ports do not include sIs.5O1.nO0 in gold brought into this country from Alaska. where in one year it was dug out of the ground The amount Of gold mined in Alaska last year alone was far more than the United States paid Russia for the whole ttrritory.
