The Universal Ianuuaue,

An interesting Canadian writer has
been looking up the matter and finds
that English is coming into such wide
use that before long our tongue may
be regarded as a world language.
Certainly the figures he gives are
suggestive. Summarized, they show
that from 1900 to 1900 the number of
persons speaking English increased
from 2O,O00.OOO to 135,OOO,OOO, or SIS
per cent; French, from $4,000, 900 to
4S,00O,OOO, or Al per cent; German,
from S5,OOO.OOO to 100000, or 100
per cent; Russian, from 100000 900 to
sO,OOO,OOO, or 200 per cent; Spanish,
from 3O,OOO,OOO to 45,OOO,OOO, or so
per cent; Italian, from 100000 to
S2OOO.OOO, or n per cent, and Portu.
guese, from 100000 to $4,000, 900, or
81 per cent, The absolute accuracy
of these figures may be open to some
question, but there is no doubt as to
the remarkable gain in the English.
speaking population of the earth. And
the United States furnishes the larger
proportion.

OVER $4o,ooo,ooo IN 9 YEARS.
A REMARKABLE GROWTH
Of the Islands Trade, 81 Per Cent
Comes Here and So 2 Of Its Pur-
chases Are from U. S.

Washington, d. C.--The story of

over $40,000,000 at the close of the
present year. For the ten months end
ing with October the business be-
tween the two countries amounted to
$35,S30,OS3. OF this amount the Unit
ed States sent to Porto Rico $16,509,-
946 worth Of merchandise, while Porto
Rico's trade with this country reached
total of 9,320,132.
That very large proportion of the
trade of Porto Rico is with the Unit
ed States is indicated by the fact that
81 per cent of the islands trade comes
here, and of the total merchandise en-.
tering the island SG12 per cent Is from
the United States. or the principal
articles forming this large and rap
idly-growing trade with Porto Rico,
the chief article of growth is sugar,

DIR. Johannes Rosing, who was at.
tache to the Bremen and Hanseatic
legations at Washington during the
civil war, and who later became con-
sui general Of the North German Con-
federation at New York, publishes in
the Weser-Zeitung extracts from his
"reminiscences, dealing rather init
mately with conditions in Washington
Immediately preceding the first Lin
coin Inauguration. The federal CAPT
tai of the time, he remarks by the
way, was hardly the present, brilliant
"eity Of magnificent distances" The
streets, which were unpayed, and as a
rule uncleaned, were a habitat for
domestic animals of all descriptions
except after a heavy rain, when they
reminded Lord Lyons, the British
minister, of the tuTbid flood of Father
Tiber On one occasion horse and
its rider were drowned on Pennsylva-
MIA avenue, and a like fate almost
overlook the Italian minister on his
way home from the second Inaugural
ton of Mr.. Lincoln. The coach fell
into hole and was wrecked, and the
minister was saved only through the
devotion of negro, who plunged to
his rescue and carried him out of
danger on his back, Aeneas-like.

ICES AT WASHINGTON.
No Canadian Assistant for the New
Ambassador Except on Par.
ticular Occasions.

London, Eng.-The departure from
Washington of Sir Henry Mort.
inner Durand, British ambassador. Is
referred to editorially with expires,
sions of congratulation on his work.
He is credited with having effected a
great improvement in the relations be.
tween the two countries, and it is
reported that he will be offered a
peerage.
No Canadian Assistant.
The appointment of a Canadian to
assist James Bryce, who will sue.
coed Sir Henry at Washington, also
is discussed. The belief seems to
be that rather than appoint such an
official permanently, it will be decided
when important Canadian matters
arise to appoint Canadian representa-
tive particularly for the matter under
consideration.

SCHM|Tz' new MOVE
EFFORT TO GET CASE OUT OF
JUDGE DUMMIES DEPARTMENT.
TRIAL IN ANOTHER COURT
Argument That the Mayor Wants
Speedy Hearing Separate and
Apart from Ruef.

San Francisco, GAIA new move
has been made by the attorneys
for Mayor Schmitz in the indictment
case. Notice has been filed with the
district attorney that they have moved
that the presiding judge in the supe-
rior court transfer the mayors case
from Judge Dunn's department to some
other department. The motion will
be argued before Judge Graham to-
day. The arguments Schmitz advances
in an affidavit attached to this mo-
ton are that he wants speedy trial''
separate and apart from Ruef. ;
The Reason Stated.
The affidavit states that by reason
of the earthquake and fire of April,
1906, and the result thereof, and of the
recent heavy rains, the said city and
county is in a most deplorable condi.
ton, and the affiant should. therefore,
be permitted to have an immediate
trial so that he may, as mayor, imme.
diately devote himself to alternating
said conditions and perform the other
duties of his Office" =
The Japanese controversy and other
matters are referred to as requiring
the mayors attention.
The mayors attorneys filed docu,
ments demanding severance Of all
legal relations between Ruef and
Schmitz as far as the five extortion
indictments are concerned, but made
no verbal argument.
