BIG INCREASE IN
 EXPORTS TO CHINA

Washington, Sept. 9-That the United States fared better than most of the other nations in China's imports during 1908 is indicated in the official report on the foreign trade of that nation, a copy of which has been received here by the Bureau of Statistics. Uncle Sams share during the past year was s27,- O15, 936-as against $24,171,777 in the year previous, and this despite the fact that the total of imports for China during 1908 was fifteen millions less than that for 1907.
 China imported goods valued at $25s, 900 in 1908, against s273, ,0O0, ,oo0 in 1907, and exported merchandise to the extent of $1S1 1,OOO, 900 as compared with $1730O0, 900 the year previous. This increase in exports was due en- tirely to larger shipments to countries other than the United States, since the value Of exports to this country de- creased from over $17, 900, 900 in 1907 to about $15, 900, 900 in 1908.
 The report shows conclusively that American kerosene oil is rapidly oc- cupying the Chinese market to the ex- clusion of Russian oils.

Nine years after graduation five of the class of B. H. S. 1900 have visited in St. Louis, Mo-, the same week. The strangest part of the affair was that no one of the class entertained any expectations of seeing the other four members at that time. Those repre- senting the class of 1900. were: Miss Mary Hard, Miss Catherine Sullivan, Miss Clara I. Bartlett, MT. Chester K. Standish, and MT. Herbert Eales.
 The reunion took place at the home of Miss Bartlett in Tuxedo Park, where they were subsequently, entertained at a Luncheon and dinner party. Miss Hard, who is assistant supervisor of physical curture in the public schools of Buffalo, N. r., was stopping tn St. Louis on her return from an extended tour of the Pacific coast.
 Miss Sullivan is physical instructor in the Central High School of St. Louis, Mo. Miss Bartlett is also teach ing in one of the public schools of St. Louis. MT.

 A wireless record received to-day from the Mauretania declared that in spite of fog, the vessel expected to be off Ambrose Channel light by 3:15 o'clock this afternoon, to pass Quar- antine an hour later, and to land her passengers at her dock at 5:30, the fastest time ever made across the oSSotA4s -

Polling Attempt
 of Anarchists to Reach The Czar
Special from United Presso

NopCCIdl 1IOIIl OIlI0u ETeSS.)
 Rome, Sept. 9.-In an effort to frus- trate any anarchist attempt to reach the Czar, and incidentally King Victor, when the former pays his visit to Italy, the Italian press announced to- day another change as to the place where the two monarchs are to meet. These changes are given out every few days to keep the anarchists 'tup in the air" They are sent from the Quirinal to the "Tribuna" which faithfully publishes everything it is told, only to deny it and publish something else within a few days. The other papers must follow suit or get in trouble with the government.
 Spezia, Bari, Tarento and Gaeta have already been mentioned as the meeting place. No reference has been made to Naples, which really seems the likeliest place for the two rulers to greet each other. It is the only place in Italy where it would be pos sible for the Czar to land from his yacht secretly within the military port, from which the public could be excluded, and reach the royal palace, opening secretly upon the port and arsenal, without traversing a single street.
