Especial Correspondence

Washington, May 16.-This fiscal
year will be record breaker in the
matter of export of domestic products.
Officials of the bureau of statistics ex-
press the belief that the total will for
the first time run up to more than two
billions Of dollars. This is based on
the belief, founded on the expectation
thus far in the fiscal period, that the
total value Of manufactures exported
will exceed billion dollars The value
OF agricultural products and other pro-
ducts, apart from manufactures, will
exceed billion.
The growth in the export of domestic
products has been one of the most
amazing of the commercial phenomena
of recent years. Twelve or fifteen years
ago, the total Of exports of all kinds
ran to about $1,00O,0O0 a day. Now,
the expectations amount to about ST.
OO0,0O day.
Whore increases Ars Shown.
The increases Of expectations are
in a number Of lines. Manufactures Of
iron and steel. copper. leather, lumber.
and agricultural implements. all show
large increases this year. Manufac-
lures. however. are not the only fac
tors in the growth of expectations.
Cotton. wheat, hog products and coal
are showing a tendency to growing ex-
portation. The totals Of expectation
of these products are greater this fis-
cal year than in any year preceding.
This year, also, shows a large increase
in expectation Of oils, such as gaso-
lenes, naphthas and the like. The ex-
port of cottonseed oil will be greater
this year than ever before also.
The import figures up to the
present time also show increases. In
other words, the foreign business of
the United States. export and import
is constantly growing and expanding.
Indications, from the movement Of ex-
ports thus far in the fiscal year, IL
that there will be a material increase
in the importation Of various articles
for use in manufacturing. Hides and
skins. India rubber, raw wool and nb-
ers are chief among such articles
showing increase OF import.
No Duty Increases Imports.
An interesting feature Of the import
situatoinis that the share Of merchan-
disc that has entered free Of duty this
fisca, year is greater than in any year
in the history of the country save In
1s92 to 1894. Then, sugar was admitted
free under the Mckinley law. Not only
is the percentage OF merchandise en-
tering free larger than ever but the
operation Of the present tariff law has
been to increase the total value OF
merchandise entering free OF duty.
For the current fiscal year, the total Is
exnected TO exceed $500. O0O, 900. For
the last fiscal year. it was $77s,000, 900.

parishes. cut of office, just as soon
as il becomes a law. This is
the opinion Of those who have
studied the new law and know the
condition in these parishes. 1t
is an unexpected condit.o which
even the trainers of the law did
not expect would exist. The bill,
IN order to protect the parish
superintemdents in office. as to
qualification, sets up certain
stands, but says that those SUPER
inteEdents now in office shall be
eligible.
The law. however, in fixing the
duties of superintendent, pro-
vides that he shall devote his en-
tire time to the office Of parish
SUPERINTENDENT, except that iii GER
tain parishes, where there are less
than twenty schools, he can act as
a school principal. However, it
