Thia increase in acreage is nearly 100 per cent., while tte increase in yield is only about 60 per cent Two reasons are given for this: First, the small yield of many of the new yards, and the shortness of tne crop this vear.

The Mexican government hits decided to send delegates to the International monetary Conference at Brussels.

A dispatch reciting the troubles expe rienced by American merchants on the Gilbert Islands was shown to Secretary Foster the other day. The United States commercial agent in the islands has made no such representations to the Depart ment of State. The Secretary says that early in the present year the department receivea communication irom King xeou tveino or tne uuoert islands pray ing that the United States establish t protectorate over. them. The depart ment aid not act upon tne application for the reason that it was the established policy of the United States to decline to extend its protection by such means. Certain aspects of the case resembled the Samoan controversy, and, although the Department of State felt obliged to decline the request for s protectorate, it may be assumed that all legitimate American interests in the islands will be fully protected.
