Washington, June 26.— An analysis of the toieign commerce of tta» United States, contained in a bulletin issued by the department of Commerce ami Labor, says that in the fiscal year 1906, 48 per ceut of the imports into the United Btatee was drawn from Eu rope, 20 per cent from North America, 13 per cent from South America, 14 per cent from Asia. Of the exports from the United States in the same year, 67 per cent went to Europe, 17 per cent to North America, 4 per cent to Bouth America, 8 per cent to Asia, 2 per tent to Oceanica and 1 per cent to Africa. A comparison with the figures for earlier years shows a gradual decline in the share of our imports supplied by Europe and in the share Europe takes of our expots. This is due largely to the enlargement of our trade with the Orient. Imports from Europe have grown from $384.000,000 in 1896 to $541,- 000,000 in 1906; from North Amer ica. $134 000.000 in 1896 to $227,000,- 000 in 1906; from S mth America, from $112,000,000 to $161,000,000, but the bulletin adds that in 1906 they w ill fall about $14,000,000 below thoee of 1905, chiefly on account of a reduction of the quantity of coffee and India rubl>er im ported. From Asia the imports have grown from $78,000,000 to $163,000,- 000 in 1906. Exports to Europe have grown from $628 000 000 in 1895 to *1,021,000,000 in 1905; to North Ainercia, from 1108,- 500,000 to $260 500.000; to 8 >uth America, from $33,000,000 to $50 000,- 000. and to Asia from $17,330 000 to $128,600,000. IN THE NATIONAL HALLS OF CONGRESS Monday, June 26. Washington, June 26. — The senate today passtd Senator La Kol'elte'a joint resolution extending the scope of the inquiry now heing conducted hy the Interstate Commerce commission under the Tillman-Gilleapie .resolution, so as to have it include the transportation anti storage of grains. ' In support of his contentions, Sena tor La Foliette said that testimony taken by the commission indicates a joint ownership Ite'ween the railroads and the elevator companies to the det riment of the farmers, who are entitled to a free anti open market. About 300 private pension bills were passed. The senate held a night session anti at 9:46 p. in. adjourned until 11 o’clock tomorrow. The so called “ package" section was passed over, it being evident that this amendment w ill create much discus sion. The bill waa laid aside uutll to morrow. Thursday, June 21. Washington, June 21.—-The senate today took a position >n accord with the president and the house of repre sentatives hy declaring for a Jock canal across the isthmus of Panama.

This motion wa* made hy Kittredge, and was voteti down, 31 to 36. Few Insurance Companies Have Failed to Comply With Law. Nan Francisco, June 26.— That the insurance companies fear the weight of official displeasure is shown hy the fact that there are now hut five or six coin* allies which have neither furnished their lisle of policy holdeis nor extend ed time for pro«f of loss. Assistant Attorney General George Hturtevarit said today that his office is now ready to commeiice action against the com- panic* which have not )>een dealing fairlv. He added: " W e have found a way to reach both the six-hit concerns and the outlaw companies, as ws term those who have neither filed lists of policy holdsrs nor granted extension of time for filing proof of loes. Wherever it is found necessary, both penalties under the statutes will !>e enforced— forfeiture of Imnd aud ejectment front the state.” The financial condition of practically all of the companies involvsd here will, it it stated, be disclosed on July 1, when the companies w ill lie compelled to file in the state of Georgia semi-an nual statements of thslr condition. Georgia la said to tie the only state in the Union requiring semi-annual state ments. Chairman Spencer, of the “ dollar for dollar" committee ol the Imard of un derwriters, said today that the outlook is dubious. “ There are undoubtedly a large mint- tier of companies which must go to the wall soon,’ 1 he said. “ I do not want to specify, nor would I say that all the honest and solvent coin panics are in the ‘dollar for dollar’ class. I do not want to impugn the motive# of any of the companiea that propoee a compro mise. Borne of them undoubtedly cannot pay and ars offering the l>eat they can. “ Borne of the companies are now making a delay to learn the extent of their liabilities and will then pay what they owe. Others are delaying in had faith. These will have to wait and go out of business, unless they ran make good soon.” Washington, June 21. — The space Washintgon, June 26.— Under a rule limiting debate on ail but two sections, in front of the speaker’ s desk of the the sc called immigration bill was dis house today resembled a small section cussed for three hours ttiday in the of a delicatessen srore and a corner gro Governor Chamberlain has declared house and passed, without an aye and cery, with cereals, Jams, jellies, tins of all laws ratified by the June election to no vote Iteing permitted on any of the peas, tomatoes, corn, bottles of whis be in effect. paragraphs.
