CALL TO AMERICAN BUSINESS MEN
TO CAPTURE The PHILIPPINE TRADE
Consumption of $2OOOOOO Worth of Merchandise
Annually Invites Enterprise of Manufacturers
and Jobbers of This Country.

It is with large degree Of interest that
every American should read the report Of
the Bureau Of Insular AnIirs concerning
the trade IN our island possessions. espe-
cially that Of the Philippines.
For the past fiscal year. while there has
been evidence Of depression in other sec
tions of the world, the result Of stable
government and Of American occupation
is clearly shown in the most satisfactory
exhibition Of increased trade in the ISL
ands.
The imports OF the Philippines were
go. AZ, SO and the exports SS3.097. SCI. which
shows an increase Of $4,000 in exports.
The figures show balance Of trade in
favor Of the islands on dutiable goods Of
nearly 100000.
Invites American Business.
Some interesting facts are connected
with this report as 20 the lack Of grasp
on the part Of American manufacturers
and business men which should not go un-
noticed. OF the imports into the islands
Great Britain shows an increase over our
/ own government Of over S750.00o while we,
on the other hand. took from the Philip
pines l.CO0COO more trade last year than
did Great Britain.
| In reference to the -four trade Of the
islands, the report goes on 10 say that VI
10 1904 this was a virtual monopoly Of the
United States. but American flour has
rapidly lost ground since. and IN 1907 the

JAPS MAY BRIDGE YALU.
Plans Maturing to Join Two Shores
Near City Of AntunE.

There is a japanese project TO construct
a bridge over the Yalu Rievr al Antung
just below the Japanese settlement. This
bridge would connect the two systems OF
the railways in China and Korea and
would have many advantages as linking
up the Chinese and Korean frontiers.
Such bridge however. il a fixed one.
would entirely block the passage Of the
river for steamers OF any size. and also
for Chinese juukS and would seriously
interfere with the rafting of the timber
The Chinese native town. which Is
above the Japanese settlement. would
thus be entirely cut of from direct trade
by steamer and large junks. II Is much
TO be hoped, therefore. that in the inter
ests of the general development Of the
trade OF the port the Japanese railway
bureau Will be induced either 10 make
drawbridge at the point indicated or 70
bridge the river at a point higher I'D
above the Chinese town.

P. ]. Miller, Of the Bank of Nez-
perez, has in his possession one of
the new $1,000 gold pieces. of the
St. Gauden's design, having received
the same Tuesday from a friend in
the east. The coin is beauty and
is known as the Roosevelt "anti-In
God We Trust" coin. II resembles
a medal more than coin. The mill
ed edge of the gold piece is sup
planted by E Pluribus Unum and
thirteen stars which run around the
rim. Liberty stands in the fore
ground and between the Roman dat
ing MCMVII and the dome of the
national capitol. In one hand she
holds the olive branch and in the
other the wand, or torch. The eagle
on the opposite side is in a flying
position, above it being the wording
Omitted States of America Twenty
Dollars" and beneath it the rising
sun with a halo of light. The
blank space n both sides is
deeply reamed out, giving the coin
the proper Rocky Mountain effect.
The coinage Of the pieces has been
stopped and there is already $500
premium on them. They are a
curiosity and on account of not be-
ing milled will not stack.

DISTRICT LEGISLATION
UNPROMISING OUTLOOK FOR
TRACKS TO NEW STATION.

After an absence Of q week In New
Hampshire. where he was busy with poll
tics. Senator Gallinger. chairman OF the
committee on the District of Columbia.
was in his seat at the Capitol today. He
told a representative Of The Star that
he hoped to dispose Of the District appro-
priation bill this week. but was unable to
say what day he would call It up.
1t was rumored this morning that the
agricultural appropriation bill will be con-
sidered first. but it Is probable that no
program has been made. One Of these
two measures will doubtless be given the
right of way after the conclusion Of Sena-
tor Warmers Brownsville speech. It is
extremely unlikely that both bills can be
passed before Saturday. owing to the fact
that Mr.. Warner may speak tomorrow
and Wednesday. and Senator Bulkley has
given notice that he will make Browns
vile speech in favor Of the colored troops
Thursday.
Mr.. Gallinger was unable to say today
when the Union station trackage con-
ferees will meet again. The Senate has
not yet acted on the report from the
House Of further disagreement. Mr.. Gal
structions to stand pat" on the part of
the Senate.
The present outlook for the passage of
a bill for tracks to the Union station. with
the end Of the session only q few weeks
off. is extremely unpromising. In fact,
the general opinion at the Capitol is that
the chances are against the securing of
the tracks at this session. The deadlock
appears to admit of no compromise.

Of the court Of errors and appeals of
New Jersey in the case of Frederick
Lang, who was found guilty Of the muir
der Of his niece in Middlesex county in
that state in 1906. Lang sought to have
the verdict of the New Jersey court set
aside because he had had no opportunity
to challenge Jurors over sixty-fve years
of age. The New Jersey law excuses
such men from jury duty when the
point as to their age is raised before
Langs crime was commltteo a1ter the
grand jury which indicted him had oeen
sworn. and, claiming this to be dis
elimination against him in favor of per-
sons who might have had an opportunity
to challenge the jury. he asked the Su-
