nOrkets in the Corridors.

Accord ng TO reports about the Capt.
toll, pickpockets were active in the
crowds that thronged the galleries and
corridors Of the Senate chamber for
the purpose of hearing Senator Till
man.
At the office of the superintendent Of
Capitol police. it was stated that the
loss IF one silver watch was reported.
This was by Mrs. r. S. Jones, Of 81
Connecticut avenue. It was torn from
the chain. apparently, as the chain,
charm and watch were missed. at first
by Mrs. Jones. Later, the chain and
charm We're found about the corridors.
Captain MCGrew docs not think pick
pockets were at work and believes the
watch was torn from Mrs Jones In the
crush, Capitol detectives were on watch
in the crowds. II has been years since
pickpOckets have taken anything at the
Capitol so far as the Investigations or
the police can establish. Reports have
been made occasionally Of the work OF
pickpOckets, but these have seldom been
verified.

Imports From United States

from the United States formed OF the
fetal imports into that country was In
1905. IT'S per cent; in 1898, 1857 per
cent: and in 1883. S.67 per cent inns

twice as great as decade ago, the
imports from the United States IN
1895 having been 40 million yen. ana

for earlier years shows that the value
of merchandise from the United states
imported into Japan in 1908 exceed
ed that of any earlier years except
1907 and 1905. having been In 1908
about 3 million yen below the figures
of 1907 and q millions below 1905,
