BULK FROM OUR MARKETS

WASHINGTON. D. c.. May 25.-The
government has Just issued a very

lar showing the value of this country's
trade with Germany and France. Tho
total value of the goods this country

year 96,453,755 and to Germany S232,-
40S.71S.
The value of leaf tobacco shipped to
France was S3,2S9,11a, and that which
went to Germany was valued at S3,-
4626S3.
Unmanufactured cotton to France.
S45,112,O34; to Germany s1o15S5. 121.
1t may be noted that something over
so per cent of the leaf tobacco that
was exported to France and Germany
was shipped from Virginia markets.
OF course, all of the raw cotton which
is the heaviest item on the list, went
business with France and Germany.
The goods that came from those coun-

The Report.
Following is the government report:
Trade of tho United States with Ger
many and France aggregated last
year about 572 million dollars, and in
the year which ends with next month
seems likely to reach nearly or quite
700 millions. About three ifths of this
large total trade occurred with Ger
many and about two-ffths with
France. In the trade with Germany,
exports to that country are much
greater than the imports therefronl,
but in the case of France the exports
are slightly less than the Imports. In
the nine months of the present fiscal
year. for which the Bureau of Statis-
tics is able to supply detailed state

Then, again in the matter of rates
for these waterways, the railroads have
long made it the custom to fix rates
for river and water points much lower
than was given to other places, even
where there existed no serious water
competition, and 1T must be that such
rates are "-easonable." for the rail-
ways themselves have voluntarily made
them, and these could be the basis of
water competitive rates and the rail-
roads would be precluded by their ac-

Another Mine Explosion.

An explosion, resulting in the killing
of the mine superintendent, d. R.
Jones, and Is miners, occurred yester-
day morning at Nina No. %, of the
Davis Coal and Coke Company, at
Thomas, w. Vs., as stated in the Ga
zette of that day.
Immediately after the explosion the
work of rescue was put into execution.
At s o'clock last night eight bodies had
been removed, all being Italians or
Lithuanians. Owing to the fact that all
the miners eutombed were foreigners
and Of limited acqusintsnceshp at
Thomas, the company has found it DIFF
6cult to form an accurate estimate OF the
total number caught, but it is believed
that there are at least seven more, all OF
whom have likely met the fate of those
whose remains have already been re-
moved.
A must distressing accident incident
to the work of rescue occurred about b
o'clock yesterday afternoon, when d. r.,

FAMINE, PEsTILENCE AND RE-
BIIlIION

The steamer Tartar, which arrived at
Victoria, B. G, Sunday night, brought
lvices that the revolution in Central
China is becoming serious menace to
that country. A junction between the
rebels of Hunao and Kwaug Tu1g is
threatened with the result that a for
midable rebellion will follow Sun Yst-
zen, the Kwang TuDg rebel leader, who
escaped from the Chinese Legation in
London some years ago in sensational
manner, is living in Toxic, Japan, aud
is organizing the revolution which he
saws in an interview is expected to achieve
the fall OF the present Manchu dynasty
within three years.
The rebels hold all the mountain fast
ne,ses on the borders of Human and Kl-
! angst, aud all attempts OF the imperial
troops to dslodge them have failed. Ia

arms and ammunition. Agents of the
reyolutionists have been sent TO the
United States and Europe to purchase
war material, ssys dispatch to the Ataki
of Toxic, and collusion has been found
to exist between agents Of the rebels and
the traders to import arms under the
guise of goods
To date 20, 900 imperial troops, with
cavalry and artillery, have been sent
against the rebels, but failed to achieve
anything. Advices from foreigners who
visited the district say it is doubtful
whether tbe revolution can be suppressed
should ali the troops at the disposition
of the government be sent. The leader OF
the revolutionists is Nung Chuntai,
Slang Tisng, and placards issued by him
state that the rebellion is aimed at the
overthrow of the Manchu dynasty.
Signs of unrest are reported from many
places in China.
Dispatches TO the Achai from Muk-
den state that an outbreak against the
dynasty is extreme in Manchuria, where
