gotiations at Pekin nearly come to an end As early as last August Sir Robert Hart and other persons of authority in Asiatic matters quietly warned the Pow- ers that the Chinese court had not the remotest idea of really submitting to such demands as have been made upon it and willingness to negotiate and prom ises of compliance were merely intend ed to gain time Ever since the caplure of Pekin and the flight of the Empress Dovager and Kwang Hsu to Signanfu the Cbincv have been gathering militty forces iind manufacturing or smuggling arms and ammunition and as our de spatches state they are displaying un mistakable evidences of an intention to resume hostilities in the spring In Pekin the complications are endless i and any satisfactory result hopeless It is now stated that the Chinese envoys have not signed the peace terms in prop er form by which we understand that they have left a technical loophole through which the court might repudiate their action Events seem to be moving fast to a crisis Count von Waldersee is reported to have sent an ultimatum to Signanfu where the reactionary party is in the ascendant and advising the Em press Dowager to refuse all demands ant break off negotiations with the foreigners The ultimatum if one has been forwarded probably refers to the massing of Chi- nese troops in strategic positions which indicates an Intended campaign against Pekin The yellow spectre as will be seen has by no means been laid Trouble for the civilized world still lurks in China The HnyPaancefote Treaty The day is very near at hand when the time in which ratifications of the Hay Pauncefote Treaty can be exchanged will come to an end and the treaty lapse There appears to be quite a general opin ion in official and Senatorial circles that the British Government will decline fur ther action in the matter and so permit the scheme to go quietly overboard This juree It has been broadly hinted from ndon is dictated by a desire to save 6 face of the Hon John Hay whose ser- ies to the Crown of a descrip n entitling him to the most distin shed consideration According to Mr ad it Is thought In England that King ard and Lord Salisbury would have- n lad to accept the treaty in Its nd d form but for the supposed objec- tions of a member of Mr McKlnleys Cab- inet and the wellinformed editor men tioned added that if Mr Hay would au- thorize Mr Choate to assure the Govern- ment that no member of the Cabinet t as opposed to the treaty it would be en dorsed at once as a means of signalling the new Kings desire to be on terms of close friendship with America Mr Stead may have been mistaken or Mr Hay may have been thinking of his old master Abraham Lincoln and the honest days of Pike and Jim Bludso and old Jedge Phim and so have become with an American spirit again and a dislike for jughandled treaties and ces- sions of United States territory to Great Britain It would please us to think the latter because Mr Hay in his wildest moments of patriotic Inversion could not dislike the HayPauncefote Treaty any- more than do a vast majority of Ameri- cans capable of an opinion on the subject If it be true that Great Britain intends- to let the convention lapse the fact when accomplished will lift a burden of inver- tebrate aDd unAmerican diplomacy and the consequences of treachery and long ago from the shoulders of the country Nothing then will stand in the way of a formal declaration by Con gress that the ClaytonBulwer Treaty Is as dead as in truth and effect it has been since the day when the American British negotiators agreed that an article utterly sulllfyiag the spirit aad consid- eration of the contract should h with iulrcr shoot with the least unneces- sary delay The total abstinence crusade has reach ed Congress and

excessive amount of public drunkenness Neverthe- less as on the former occasion no doubt he will throw his best devoir to please the sisters Representative Babcocks tariff views are in the line of reform and therefore are entitled to respect He is undoubt- edly right in claiming that the tariff on merchandise competing with the produc- tions of the gigantic steel monopoly just formed should be taken off that the American people may not be wholly at the merry of this pitiless and monstrous trust whose purpose is to monopolize- the whole steel output of the United States in restraint of trade and against public policy But while we agree with Mr Babcock we are compelled to pity him for what the magnates of his party will do to him Can he suppose that at a time when the Sugar Trust has been obeyed by the Administration in the mat ter of a countervailing duty against Rus- sia which will probably shut American j steel products out of that Empire the Steel Trust will stand idly by and see it schemes to plunder the American mar ket go for naught hardly The multimillionaires in the vast Morgan I deal are not to be treated negligibly They too were among the most eminent and liberal of campaaign contributors In this day of reckoning are the Havemeyers to be taken and the others left Both Senator Frye and Senator Hanna realize that the Subsidy job is dead as far as the Fiftysixth Congress is con cerned though neither will openly admit the fact But other advocates of the measure concede the point This makes it probably certain that President MeKin ley will call the Fiftyseventh Congress together in extraordinary session as soon as practicable after the Fourth of March although nearly all the Senators and Representatives now here who will be members of the next Congres are strongly opposed to the proposition Ostensibly- the reason for the call will be the ne- cessity for legislation concerning our re- lations with Cuba The detested Weyler held the post of Captain General again yesterday This time it was Captain General of Madrid and not of Cuba He was appointed to terrify the populace of the Spanish capi tal and prevent their interference with the wedding ceremonies of Princess Mer- cedes Weyler was eminently successful- In preserving order The people had heard of his Cuban methods which once they quite approved But they did not wish to have them applied at home the processes being painful- It would be a polite attention on 3Ir McKinleys part if he should return the Czars present of a photograph album In kind A good idea would be to prepare one with views of cur various Sugar Trust refineries and portraits of the Havemey ers Searles Oxnard and Gage His Majesty doubtless would like to take a look at those plants and persons GATES SON A

brandies of theG Legislature and which will be signed by Governor today The Tobacco Trust had placed a power ful lobby here against the Brasun bill and after passing the bill was practically killed by an unfavorable com- mittee report in the House The lawyers who had been fighting against the bill thought it was all over and had practical- ly dropped the matter but Representative Hope yesterday called up the measure over the heads of the rare occurrence in this Legislature and a bit ter fight ensued Representatives Holcomb and Kitchens fought the bill on the ground that it was a transgression of personal rights and j also that it would hurt the paper manu facturing interests of the State Hope denounced any argument that sought to array dollars and cents against the lives of the boys of the State Representative Clark read a touching letter from a boy describing himself as a cigarette fiend and praying for the passage of the bill A motion to recommit was lost by a vote of 22 to 12 a motion to postpone action until Thursday was lost by an almost unanimous vote and the bill j was passed by a vote of 19 to 14 The law could hardly be a more stringent one It makes it a misdemean- or subject to fine and imprisonment to manufacture or sell in this State cigar ettes cigarette paper or cigarette to bacco It is even said that nonresidents are liable for sending them through the mail by the law passed two years ago applying to any crime begun in another State and carried out or consummated in Delaware Representative Holcomb tried to get his Single Tax bill passed but failed It j had been favorably reported by a House Committee and called for the assess- ment of real estate and improvements thereon to be made in separate columns Mr fought the bill as uncon- stitutional and it was defeated by a vote of 16 to 12 five members not voting The Senate bill authorizing the town of Seaford to establish a water liht and sewage plant passed the House and became a law after a petition had been presented signed by over threefourths of the taxpayers of the town The town consists almost entirely of frame build ings and has practically no protection from fire GRAY MAY RETIRE Revival of time Rumor Concerning ihe Supreme Conrt Justice The speculation which a year ago was based on the possible retirement of Jus tice Horace Gray from the United States Supreme Court under the age limit has been revived with renewed energy and in terest although without known cause Justice Gray attained the age of which is seventytwo years last March and this interestinng circumstance gave rise to much gossip at that time as to whether or not he would claim the privilege provided br law No reason other than this has ever been asigned for Justice Gray quitting the bench His appearance indicates ibarhe is In the enjoyment or robust health and the proceedings of the Supreme Court still bear testimony to the unimpaired contin- uation of his oldtime mental vigor and clarity But in spite of this the talk of Justice Grays retirement from the bench at a comparatively early date which means that it may occur within the next year or two has been revived Naturally this has given rise to a good deal of speculation as to his successor- It probably is significant that the specu lation is not only confined to Massach- usetts lawyers but also that it takes ac count almost wholly of only two names Under the unwritten law which governs the President In the selection of members- of the Supreme Court the vacancy that would be caused should Justice Gray re- tire would belong to New England Jus tice Gray was chief justice of the Massa chusetts supreme judicial court when President Arthur in 1881 called him to the tribunal of last resort at Washington The judge who now occupies the place In Massachusetts that was so long held by Justice Gray Is Oliver Wendell Holmes jr son of the late Autocrat of the Breakfast Table and regarded by many writers on Jurisprudence as one of the greatest jurors of the day Justice Holmes is being much talked about as the probable successor of Justice Gray as Is also Alfred Hemenway of Boa ton an acknowledged leader of the Mas sachusetts bar and the law partner of Secretary Long The Governor once of- fered Mr Hemenway a place In the su preme judicial court of Massachusetts- but he declined It As these are the only names that are being discussed for the vacancy that would be caused by the re tirement of Justice Gray it is considered likely that will be urged with great insistence when the proper time to do so FAITH CURE LEGISLATION Several Creeds Ilei re entetl at the Hearing iu Albany ALBANY N Y Feb 15 Doctors looked angrily at the Christian isis the Young Mens Christian Association representatives cast glances of airpicion upon both and all smiled sarcastically at the Spiritualists at the hearing upon the AntiChristianScience bill heft re the Committee on Public Health it the As- sembly Wednesday The fact that the Young Mins Christian Association of the State was against the bill did not develop until William S Bur nett reprrsenting the association branch- es opposed the bill because it took from physical directors In gymnasiums ihe right to recommend exercises to cure ills of the human body This was also the first appearance of the Spiritualists They said that the pas sage of the measure would interfere with the rights of legitimate clairvoyants who It was alleged had the only real power to properly diagnose disease Two amendments were offered one by Dr Elliott Harris of New York the other by Judge Charles Z Lincoln Al- bany Both were for the purpose of mak- ing the measure less stringent Judge Lincolns in the interest of Chris tian Scientists Dr Harris was a com- promise which would place all those who practice medicine or cures under some supervision of the State The committee promised to consider both amendments in secret session next week It was announced that the hear- ing was the last one to be held upon the AGED COUPLES LONG TRIP Journeying Prom Alulmmn to XCTT York Afaot SHARON Pa Feb 15 Though may impede their progress and winds may whistle as they Journey

popularity of American products in those parts of the world in which all the manufacturing and export- ing nations are making eranest endeavors to extend their commerce is illustrated- by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics showing the exports by grand divisions and countries in lOO compared with 1890 These figures are published in the Decem- ber number of the Monthly Summary of Commerce and Finance and cover the calendar years from 1890 to 1900 They show that our exports to Europe increased during that period from GS2 000000 to H116pOOOOO or 63 per cent to North America from 95000000 to 19S 000000 or 108 per cent to South America from 535000000 to JJllpOO000 or less than 20 per cent to Asia from 522000000 to 5S000000 or 163 per cent to Oceania from 17000000 to 40000000 or 132 per cent and to Africa from 4500000 to 23000000 or 4i6 per cent To South America the growth has been compara- tively small but to Asia Oceania and Africa the percentage of growth it will be observed has been phenomenally large and in nearly every instance the gain has heeD greater than that of the other countries cpippeting for that com mercee A more detailed analysis considering the exports country by country also some interesting facts and this is presented in the table which follows The United Kingdom whinn stood at the head of our list of cus tomers in 1890 still maintains that position but only shows an increase of less than 50 per cent while Germany j whose commercial relations with the United States have been the subject of j much discussion shows an increase of more than 100 per cent and an increase- of over 35000000 in the single year 1SOO compared with the preceding year France which stood third in the list of our cus- tomers in 1890 is now fifth Canada which was fourth on the list in 1890 has taken third rank and Netherlands which was sixth in 1S90 is now fourth in the list To Hongkong the exports of 1900 are double those of 1890 to British Aus tralalia two and onehalf times as much to China nearly three times as much and to Japan more than five times as much a sthose of 1S0 while to British Africa the figures of 1900 are six times as much a stbosc of 1890 SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS WEST CHESTER Pa Feb 15 Walter T Jackson a prominent real estate op- erator of Coatesvile has not been seen for several days Some years ago William- H Grouse a wellknown resident of Coatesville died leaving a comfortable es tate His wife Louisa Grouse and two minor children Harry and FannIe A Crouse survived him Walter P Jackson desired to take out letters on estate and letters of administration were granted him His bondsmen were his father Oli- ver C Jackson and Dr J W Pratt Later Oliver Jackson was appointed guardian of the minor children After more taaa two years had elapsed Hayes of West Chester were employed as counsel by the widow and they sought to have the administrator to file his account which should have been filed a year before that time Being una- ble to induce him by other means they asked the court for a citation which was granted When he finally filed his ac- count exceptions were taken to it by Hayes Hayes acting for the wid6w and minors and William S Windle ap pointed auditor- It was evident he had not accounted for everything as In his report the auditor surcharged the accountant over 51000 Ex- ceptions were taken by his counsel J Frank E also by Hayes Hayes the latter contending that the sur- charge was less than It should have been The court took tho latter view of mat- ters and increased the amount of the sun charge considerably An appeal was taken to the Superior Court hut the latter hand- ed down an opinion fwo weeks sus- taining the Chester County Court Then on the 6th instant Judge Hemp hill handed down a decree directing Jack son to pay to J Carroll Hayes attorney for the guardian of said minors Harry S Crouse and Fannie A Crouse about to be appointed by the court the sum of 19S6 for each of said minors together with le- gal interest thereon from December 11 1S99 up to the time of such payment and that said administrator pay th costs of said appeal to the Superior Court Notwithstanding this decree Jackson failed to pay over the funds and last Mon- day at the instance of a petition signed by Mrs Crouse and her children the elder Jackson was removed as the guardian of the latter and Jesse Shallcrosa appointed- in bis place Walter P Jackson was formerly secre- tary of the Home Building and Loan As- sociation of Coatesville He resigned in October last For several months previous there had been rumors that all was not right Four months of hard work were spent by ex- perts upon the books after which their report was gone over by Messrs H B Speakman John J Flnnlgan and W E Greenwood They found the work of the experts correct and that the amount due from Walter P Jackson was 17l39 This amount is partly secured by judgments It Is thought that 50 per cent or possibly more may be realized on this account The last seen of Walter Jackson was on Sunday when William M Hayes of West Chester met him in a Wilmington and Northern Railroad train Mr Jackson then said that he would be In West Ches- ter on Monday

A Hntl Outlook in ChinIf the news from China today can be
relied upon the rather farcical peace negotiations at Pekin nearly come toan end As early as last August Sir RobertHart and other persons of authority inAsiatic matters quietly warned the Pow-
ers that the Chinese court had not theremotest idea of really submitting tosuch demands as have been made upon itand willingness to negotiate and promises of compliance were merely intended to gain time Ever since the caplureof Pekin and the flight of the EmpressDovager and Kwang Hsu to Signanfu theCbincv have been gathering milittyforces iind manufacturing or smugglingarms and ammunition and as our despatches state they are displaying unmistakable evidences of an intention toresume hostilities in the spring
In Pekin the complications are endless i
and any satisfactory result hopeless Itis now stated that the Chinese envoyshave not signed the peace terms in proper form by which we understand thatthey have left a technical loopholethrough which the court might repudiatetheir action Events seem to be movingfast to a crisis Count von Waldersee isreported to have sent an ultimatum toSignanfu where the reactionary party isin the ascendant and advising the Empress Dowager to refuse all demands antbreak off negotiations with the foreignersThe ultimatum if one has been forwardedprobably refers to the massing of Chi-nese troops in strategic positions whichindicates an Intended campaign againstPekin The yellow spectre as will beseen has by no means been laid Troublefor the civilized world still lurks in China
The HnyPaancefote TreatyThe day is very near at hand when the
time in which ratifications of the HayPauncefote Treaty can be exchanged willcome to an end and the treaty lapseThere appears to be quite a general opinion in official and Senatorial circles thatthe British Government will decline further action in the matter and so permitthe scheme to go quietly overboard This
juree It has been broadly hinted fromndon is dictated by a desire to save
6 face of the Hon John Hay whose ser-ies to the Crown of a descripn entitling him to the most distinshed consideration According to Mrad it Is thought In England that Kingard and Lord Salisbury would have-
n lad to accept the treaty in Itsnd d form but for the supposed objec-
tions of a member of Mr McKlnleys Cab-inet and the wellinformed editor mentioned added that if Mr Hay would au-thorize Mr Choate to assure the Govern-ment that no member of the Cabinet t asopposed to the treaty it would be endorsed at once as a means of signallingthe new Kings desire to be on terms ofclose friendship with America
Mr Stead may have been mistaken orMr Hay may have been thinking of hisold master Abraham Lincoln and thehonest days of Pike and Jim Bludso andold Jedge Phim and so have become
with an American spirit again anda dislike for jughandled treaties and ces-sions of United States territory to GreatBritain It would please us to think thelatter because Mr Hay in his wildestmoments of patriotic Inversion could notdislike the HayPauncefote Treaty any-more than do a vast majority of Ameri-cans capable of an opinion on the subject
If it be true that Great Britain intends-to let the convention lapse the fact whenaccomplished will lift a burden of inver-tebrate aDd unAmerican diplomacy andthe consequences of treachery and
long ago from the shoulders ofthe country Nothing then will stand inthe way of a formal declaration by Congress that the ClaytonBulwer Treaty Isas dead as in truth and effect it has beensince the day when the AmericanBritish negotiators agreed that an articleutterly sulllfyiag the spirit aad consid-eration of the contract should h with
iulrcr shoot with the least unneces-sary delay
The total abstinence crusade has reached Congress and In a truly characteristic-way The Womans Christian TemperanceUnion and other female influences whichforced the abolition of the army post ex-change are now sitting like avenging anjela on the proposed appropriation in aidof the St Louis Louisiana Purchase Ex-position It Is reported that a strongfeminine lobby Is at work and that theSsht te make the fair a dry one will beled on the floor of the House by Represen-tative Littlefield of Maine who was chief

has been tried is cursed with an excessiveamount of public drunkenness Neverthe-less as on the former occasion no doubthe will throw his best devoir to please thesisters
Representative Babcocks tariff viewsare in the line of reform and thereforeare entitled to respect He is undoubt-edly right in claiming that the tariff onmerchandise competing with the produc-tions of the gigantic steel monopoly justformed should be taken off that theAmerican people may not be wholly atthe merry of this pitiless and monstroustrust whose purpose is to monopolize-the whole steel output of the UnitedStates in restraint of trade and againstpublic policy But while we agree withMr Babcock we are compelled to pityhim for what the magnates of his partywill do to him Can he suppose that ata time when the Sugar Trust has beenobeyed by the Administration in the matter of a countervailing duty against Rus-sia which will probably shut American j
steel products out of that Empire theSteel Trust will stand idly by and seeit schemes to plunder the American market go for naught hardly Themultimillionaires in the vast Morgan I
deal are not to be treated negligiblyThey too were among the most eminentand liberal of campaaign contributors Inthis day of reckoning are the Havemeyersto be taken and the others left
Both Senator Frye and Senator Hannarealize that the Subsidy job is dead asfar as the Fiftysixth Congress is concerned though neither will openly admitthe fact But other advocates of themeasure concede the point This makesit probably certain that President MeKinley will call the Fiftyseventh Congresstogether in extraordinary session as soonas practicable after the Fourth of Marchalthough nearly all the Senators andRepresentatives now here who will bemembers of the next Congres are stronglyopposed to the proposition Ostensibly-the reason for the call will be the ne-
cessity for legislation concerning our re-lations with Cuba
The detested Weyler held the post ofCaptain General again yesterday Thistime it was Captain General of Madridand not of Cuba He was appointed toterrify the populace of the Spanish capital and prevent their interference withthe wedding ceremonies of Princess Mer-
cedes Weyler was eminently successful-In preserving order The people hadheard of his Cuban methods which oncethey quite approved But they did notwish to have them applied at home theprocesses being painful-
It would be a polite attention on 3IrMcKinleys part if he should return theCzars present of a photograph album Inkind A good idea would be to prepareone with views of cur various Sugar Trustrefineries and portraits of the Havemeyers Searles Oxnard and Gage HisMajesty doubtless would like to take alook at those plants and persons

LEGISLATION IN DELAWARE
Made Ji MldileniennorDOVER Del Feb 15 The sale anfl
manufacture of cigarettes in the State ofDelaware is prohibited by a bill which haspassed both brandies of theG Legislatureand which will be signed by Governor
todayThe Tobacco Trust had placed a power
ful lobby here against the Brasun billand after passing the bill waspractically killed by an unfavorable com-
mittee report in the House The lawyerswho had been fighting against the billthought it was all over and had practical-ly dropped the matter but RepresentativeHope yesterday called up the measureover the heads of the rareoccurrence in this Legislature and a bitter fight ensued
Representatives Holcomb and Kitchensfought the bill on the ground that it wasa transgression of personal rights and j
also that it would hurt the paper manufacturing interests of the State
Hope denounced any argumentthat sought to array dollars and centsagainst the lives of the boys of the State
Representative Clark read a touchingletter from a boy describing himself as acigarette fiend and praying for the passageof the bill A motion to recommit waslost by a vote of 22 to 12 a motion topostpone action until Thursday was lostby an almost unanimous vote and the bill j
was passed by a vote of 19 to 14The law could hardly be a more
stringent one It makes it a misdemean-or subject to fine and imprisonment tomanufacture or sell in this State cigarettes cigarette paper or cigarette tobacco It is even said that nonresidentsare liable for sending them through themail by the law passed two years agoapplying to any crime begun in anotherState and carried out or consummated inDelaware
Representative Holcomb tried to get hisSingle Tax bill passed but failed It j
had been favorably reported by a HouseCommittee and called for the assess-ment of real estate and improvementsthereon to be made in separate columnsMr fought the bill as uncon-stitutional and it was defeated by avote of 16 to 12 five members not voting
The Senate bill authorizing the townof Seaford to establish a water lihtand sewage plant passed the House andbecame a law after a petition had beenpresented signed by over threefourthsof the taxpayers of the town The townconsists almost entirely of frame buildings and has practically no protectionfrom fire
GRAY MAY RETIRE
Revival of time Rumor Concerningihe Supreme Conrt Justice
The speculation which a year ago wasbased on the possible retirement of Justice Horace Gray from the United StatesSupreme Court under the age limit hasbeen revived with renewed energy and interest although without known causeJustice Gray attained the age of
which is seventytwo years lastMarch and this interestinng circumstancegave rise to much gossip at that time asto whether or not he would claim theprivilege provided br law No reasonother than this has ever been asigned forJustice Gray quitting the bench
His appearance indicates ibarhe is Inthe enjoyment or robust health and theproceedings of the Supreme Court stillbear testimony to the unimpaired contin-uation of his oldtime mental vigor andclarity But in spite of this the talk ofJustice Grays retirement from the benchat a comparatively early date whichmeans that it may occur within the nextyear or two has been revived
Naturally this has given rise to a gooddeal of speculation as to his successor-It probably is significant that the speculation is not only confined to Massach-
usetts lawyers but also that it takes account almost wholly of only two namesUnder the unwritten law which governsthe President In the selection of members-of the Supreme Court the vacancy thatwould be caused should Justice Gray re-tire would belong to New England Justice Gray was chief justice of the Massachusetts supreme judicial court whenPresident Arthur in 1881 called him tothe tribunal of last resort at WashingtonThe judge who now occupies the place InMassachusetts that was so long held byJustice Gray Is Oliver Wendell Holmesjr son of the late Autocrat of theBreakfast Table and regarded by manywriters on Jurisprudence as one of thegreatest jurors of the day
Justice Holmes is being much talkedabout as the probable successor of JusticeGray as Is also Alfred Hemenway of Boaton an acknowledged leader of the Massachusetts bar and the law partner ofSecretary Long The Governor once of-
fered Mr Hemenway a place In the supreme judicial court of Massachusetts-but he declined It As these are the onlynames that are being discussed for thevacancy that would be caused by the retirement of Justice Gray it is consideredlikely that will be urged with greatinsistence when the proper time to do so

sembly WednesdayThe fact that the Young Mins Christian
Association of the State was against thebill did not develop until William S Burnett reprrsenting the association branch-es opposed the bill because it took fromphysical directors In gymnasiums iheright to recommend exercises to cure illsof the human body
This was also the first appearance ofthe Spiritualists They said that the passage of the measure would interfere withthe rights of legitimate clairvoyants whoIt was alleged had the only real power toproperly diagnose disease
Two amendments were offered one byDr Elliott Harris of New York theother by Judge Charles Z Lincoln Al-bany Both were for the purpose of mak-ing the measure less stringent JudgeLincolns in the interest of Christian Scientists Dr Harris was a com-promise which would place all those whopractice medicine or cures under somesupervision of the State

GREAT GAIN IN EXPORTS
American Products Groivingr in Pop-ularity Abroad
The growing popularity of Americanproducts in those parts of the world inwhich all the manufacturing and export-ing nations are making eranest endeavorsto extend their commerce is illustrated-by the Treasury Bureau of Statisticsshowing the exports by grand divisionsand countries in lOO compared with 1890
These figures are published in the Decem-ber number of the Monthly Summary ofCommerce and Finance and cover thecalendar years from 1890 to 1900
They show that our exports to Europeincreased during that period from GS2
000000 to H116pOOOOO or 63 per cent toNorth America from 95000000 to 19S
000000 or 108 per cent to South Americafrom 535000000 to JJllpOO000 or less than20 per cent to Asia from 522000000 to5S000000 or 163 per cent to Oceania
from 17000000 to 40000000 or 132 percent and to Africa from 4500000 to23000000 or 4i6 per cent To South
America the growth has been compara-tively small but to Asia Oceania andAfrica the percentage of growth it willbe observed has been phenomenallylarge and in nearly every instance thegain has heeD greater than that of theother countries cpippeting for that commercee
A more detailed analysis consideringthe exports country by country also
some interesting facts and thisis presented in the table which followsThe United Kingdom whinn stood atthe head of our list of customers in 1890 still maintains thatposition but only shows an increase ofless than 50 per cent while Germany j
whose commercial relations with theUnited States have been the subject of jmuch discussion shows an increase ofmore than 100 per cent and an increase-of over 35000000 in the single year 1SOOcompared with the preceding year Francewhich stood third in the list of our cus-tomers in 1890 is now fifth Canadawhich was fourth on the list in 1890 hastaken third rank and Netherlands whichwas sixth in 1S90 is now fourth in thelist To Hongkong the exports of 1900are double those of 1890 to British Australalia two and onehalf times as muchto China nearly three times as muchand to Japan more than five times asmuch a sthose of 1S0 while to BritishAfrica the figures of 1900 are six timesas much a stbosc of 1890
SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS
WEST CHESTER Pa Feb 15 WalterT Jackson a prominent real estate op-
erator of Coatesvile has not been seenfor several days Some years ago William-H Grouse a wellknown resident ofCoatesville died leaving a comfortable estate His wife Louisa Grouse and twominor children Harry and FannIe ACrouse survived him Walter P Jacksondesired to take out letters on estateand letters of administration were grantedhim His bondsmen were his father Oli-
ver C Jackson and Dr J W Pratt LaterOliver Jackson was appointed guardian ofthe minor children
After more taaa two years had elapsedHayes of West Chester wereemployed as counsel by the widow andthey sought to have the administrator tofile his account which should have beenfiled a year before that time Being una-ble to induce him by other means theyasked the court for a citation which wasgranted When he finally filed his ac-count exceptions were taken to it byHayes Hayes acting for the wid6w andminors and William S Windle appointed auditor-
It was evident he had not accounted foreverything as In his report the auditorsurcharged the accountant over 51000 Ex-ceptions were taken by his counsel JFrank E also by HayesHayes the latter contending that the sur-charge was less than It should have beenThe court took tho latter view of mat-ters and increased the amount of the suncharge considerably An appeal was takento the Superior Court hut the latter hand-ed down an opinion fwo weeks sus-taining the Chester County Court
Then on the 6th instant Judge Hemphill handed down a decree directing Jackson to pay to J Carroll Hayes attorneyfor the guardian of said minors Harry SCrouse and Fannie A Crouse about to beappointed by the court the sum of 19S6for each of said minors together with le-gal interest thereon from December 111S99 up to the time of such payment andthat said administrator pay th costs ofsaid appeal to the Superior Court
Notwithstanding this decree Jacksonfailed to pay over the funds and last Mon-day at the instance of a petition signedby Mrs Crouse and her children the elderJackson was removed as the guardian ofthe latter and Jesse Shallcrosa appointed-in bis place
Walter P Jackson was formerly secre-tary of the Home Building and Loan As-
sociation of Coatesville He resigned inOctober last
For several months previous there hadbeen rumors that all was not right Fourmonths of hard work were spent by ex-
perts upon the books after which theirreport was gone over by Messrs H BSpeakman John J Flnnlgan and W EGreenwood They found the work of theexperts correct and that the amount duefrom Walter P Jackson was 17l39 Thisamount is partly secured by judgments ItIs thought that 50 per cent or possiblymore may be realized on this account
The last seen of Walter Jackson was onSunday when William M Hayes of WestChester met him in a Wilmington andNorthern Railroad train Mr Jacksonthen said that he would be In West Ches-ter on Monday
