Tonnage Of Railroads.

The entire tonnage of the United
States carried by the railroads one
mile has doubled in seven years. In
1897 it was $4,000, 100000 tons; in
1904 it was over 10000, OO0,O 900; seven
years more at the same rate of in
crease would mean 100000, 900 900
tons.
In 1904 less than 1000 10000 tons of
pig iron were produced; in 1905 al
most 23,o00,OO0 tons were turned out.
In coal the country's production
grew from 152,000,000 tons in 1894 to
314,000,000 in 1904.
The country produced more than
twice as much cotton in 1905 as in
1903.
Corn turned out an average yield
the first five years of this decade just
about so per cent larger than in the
same years of the last decade
Wheat grew from 467,000,0 900 BUSH
els in 1895 to 692,000,OO0 bushels in
1905.
In 1894 there were $4,000 miles of
railroad in operation; In 1904 there
were $4,000 miles.
While iron production increased 800
per cent railroad mileage increased
30 per cent. The number of locomo-
tives increased from $4,000 to $4,000
between 1898 and 1904, or about 80
per cent.
Freight cars increased about 80 per
cent or from 1.2S4.00 to 1,72S,00O.
Another item emphasizing the
changes most needed in the physical
condition of our railroads is the enor-
nous loss Of life attending their OPP
Grafton.
For 1904 the interstate commerce
commission reports the loss of life
from railroad accidents to be 10,046,
while S4,155 were injured.

HAWAII HAS NO LABOR GLUT.
New japanese immigration Law Causes
Much Complaint.


Toxic, Japan, Feb. 28.-The immi-
grafton companies and agencies COM
plain bitterly of the new law affecting
the admission of Japanese laborers to
the United States. They deny that
there are 10000 of this class in the
Hawaiian islands at present. Owing
to the low scale of wages prevailing in
these islands compared with the high
scale in California the laborers have
gradually crossed to the continent, so
that now there are less than 10000 re-
naming.
The trouble, they say, originated in
Hawaii, where the planters, seeing that
the supply of labor was gradually d.
minishing, brought pressure to bear
with the result that the San Francisco
agitation was begun. The Hawaiian
planters produce $4,000 tons of sugar
annually, having value of more than
$5O,000,000. Beyond doubt if the San
Francisco route is effectually blocked,
the planters will begin to reduce the
scale of wages. Each japanese labor
er sends home S. monthly, making a
total of 81, 10000 yearly.
Foreign Minister Hayashi points out
in an interview that there are other
fields of the highest promise, like Mexi-
co, South America, Manchuria and Ko-
rea. where the Japanese are welcomed.

like raising a row, saying that he was
young and could easily earn more
