In the absence of il.c President, who is hunting coyotes and jackrabblts over in the- Kiowa-Comanche reservation in Oklahoma, official business is given attention by Secretary Loeb. Most of the business will be transacted by the secretary and directed to the vari ous departments in Washington whore It originated. That which requires the per sonal supervision of the President will have to wait until Thursday, for not un til then will communication be had with the hunting party.

Imports from the United States to Cuba in the eight months ending with February. 1965. amount to 524.126.6S7 -and are larger tnan in the corresponding period of any fiscal roar in the htstorv of our trade with Cuba. Compared with the corresponding I of over 42 per cent, while the Imports from Cuba in the same time show an In crease of only 16 per cenL The statement of trade with Cuba during the eight months ending with February, just Is sued by the Department of Commerce and Labor through its bureau of statis tics, shows an especially rapR! growth In exports to that island, and that the in crease occurs in practically all articles entering Into that trade. In imports the growth is not nearly so rapid and occurs In but two or three articles, chiefly sugar. The exports to Cuba in the eight months ending with February were valued -at $34,126,687. against $10,898,884 In the corresponding months of last year, an 'increase of 42 per cent, while the imports from Cuba were $4.269,359. as against $36,230,060 In the corresponding months of last year, an increase of but 1G per cent. It is quite apparent from those figures that the exports to Cuba during the fiscal year which ends with the month of June will be larger than in any earlier year. The largest exports to Cuba In the his tory of our commerce with"that island were those of the fiscal year 1904, when the total was $27,377,465, and as the ex ports during the eight months .of the present fiscal year show an Increase of 42 per cent over those of the corresponding period of 1904, the largest earlier year. It is quite apparent that the total for the year 1905 will materially exceed that of any prceding yeac - On the import side, predictions as to the comparison of the fiscal year 1305 with earlier years are more difficult. The increase " In Imports from Cuba In the eight months ending with February Is," as already indicated. but,16 per cent over the corresponding months of 1901, while the imports from Cuba In that year were less than those of 1S73. 1874. 1882 and 1888. The yearv of the largest importa tion from Cuba was 1874. when the total value of merchandise imported from that Island was 585.428.097. The total for the fiscal year 1904 was $76,988,418, and as the figures for the eight months of the present yeare were but 16 per cent in ex cess of those of the corresponding months of last year, it seems scarcely llkeiy that the total for the fiscal year will reach the high-water mark of 1874. though there oan be no doubt that the exports of the island In 1905 will mater ially exceed the recoid of any .earlier year. In practically all articles of Importance the exports of the eight months ending with February. 1905. are larger than those of the same months of the preced ing year. Comparing the eight months' period of the two 'fiscal years, flour in creases from $1,500,000 in 1904 to $2,000.- 000 in 1996: cattle, from $979,000 to i $1,397,000; lumber from $749,000 to $987. 000: corn, from $461,000 to $629,000; cot ton cloths, from $202,000 to $4S7.000; cars and carriages, from $299,000 to $352,000; furniture, from $268,000 to $344,000; builders' hardware, from 263.000 to $306,000; bacon, from $212,000 to $300,080; mineral oils, from $18L000 to $259,000. and so on down the list increases occur In practically all the important aitlcles entering into that trade. Books and maps increased in exportation from $SO.O00 in the first eight months of 1904 to $15L000 in the corresponding months of the pres ent year; fruits and mits. from $64,000 to 5102.0W; while manufactured cotton other .than cloths, agricultural Imple ments, sewing machines, locomotivos. cotton-seed oil. naval stores, electrical machinery, bicycles and other articles also show a marked increase. On the import side, as already indi cated, the chief Increase occurs -in sugar, the Importations of which during the eight months In question amount to $29. 848.042. as against $24,866,517 in the same months of 1904. an Increase of $5,181,525, while the entire increase in Imports from Cuba during the, same period IS" but $6,030,299.

DESPITE SENATE'S INACTION President Hss Done in Another Way What Senate Failed to Authorize Fight Will Be Resumed Next. Session. ORBGONIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash Ingionj April 9. The general belief among those who have observed the trend of affairs for years iSvthat the United Stales will virtually assume a protectorate over Santo Domingo and that it Is now so placed that It cannot do otherwise, since it has literally taken charge of the rev enues of the little republic and guaran teed the stability of the present govern ment. In fact. It is a protectorate as It stands; whatever name may be used to describe the control the United States exercises. Under no consideration will the United States allow a foreign gov ernment to Interfere with affairs In Santo Domingo, nor will It allow any of the rev olutionists to create disturbances which will overthrow the present government. That Is nothing but a protectorate. The Democrats were able to solidify themselves as a party against the Santo Domingo treaty; they were also severely critical of what had previously been done by the Administration without the con sent f the Senate. The Senate ad journed without a vote on. the Santo Do mingo treaty when it was known that it could not be ratified by the necessary two thirds. When Congress again reassem bles -it-is almost certain that sever criti cism will be made of the President for going ahead and doing in Santo Do mingo, under a different name, perhaps, just what he proposed to do under the treaty. It Is a fact that President Mo rales, of the Dominican government, named tne men who are to collect the revenues, but they were first suggested or nominated by President Roosevelt. They will deposit the money in a New York bank and the money must be paid out by somefiody's order. The men nom inated will not pay it out until they have authority from the United States. It is to be paid out to foreign governments whose citizons have claims against Santo Domingo, and also to claimants from this country. It Is an absolute fact that the President is doing, under a different method, the very things that the treaty proposed to allow him to do. There will be an interesting fight when Congress reconvenes, and it will be still more -Interesting to note whether the Democrats will remain as solid as they were the first weeks in March and will oppose the interference In Santo Domingo. The treaty will require a great deal of discussion and no doubt a number of res olutions will be proposed demanding in formation, and there will be speeches criticising what has already ben done. At the iame time it is quite difficult to see how the United States, having since got into this affair through the ac tion of the executive, can change its course. The Government of course can do anything, but it will be a moral obliga tion that this Government will have to sec that Santo Domingo affairs are prop erly conducted and a withdrawal would leave the island in a much worse condi tion than at present.

R. I., April 9. The third . committee of the fortification board, of which Admiral Charles N. Thomas, U. S. N.. Is chairman. Is devoting special attention to the dangers incident to the use of submarine mines, and it is learned that emphasis will be placed on the ad vantage of substituting submarine boats for mines for harbor defense. Discussing this subject, a member of the commit tee said today: "Mines cannot be relied upon In time of war. Trials given .submarine mines In Xarragansett Bay resulted unsuccess fully, due chieflv to the stronir cur rents which sweep through the harbor and entrances to the bay and make these defenses extremely dangerous. This Is one of the important subjects that the fortification board has already taken up and will thoroughly examine during the inspection of fortifications and the land and floating defenses. "The established fact that a number of the Russian warships were blown up by their own submarine mines, and the pres ent practice of England in discarding submarine mine defenses to a great ex tent in harbors where there are wide channels to defend and where the tides are strong, and placing there submarine boats, has added to the sentiment in favor of replacing mines with boats."

April 9. lSxports of iron and steel manufactures from the United States in the first eight months of the present fiscal year exceed thoae In the corresponding months of any earlier year, being $$6,500,000,000 In value, as com pared with 581.500,000. the high record made in the first eight months of the fiscal year IDOL A statement just issued by tho Depart ment of Commerce and Labor through Its Bureau of Statistics compares the Im ports and exports of Iron and steel manu factures during the first eight months of each fiscal year from 1S85 to 1W6. In 1SS5 these exports during the first eight months were less than half the valuo of similar Imports, being $11,600,000. as against $23,000,000. In 1905. during the same months, the exports of irop. and steel are about six times as much as the im ports being $85,500,000, as against $14, 000.000. Thus the balance of trade which in 1SSS showed a total of $12,000,000 in fa vor of imports, shows in 1905 to date a total of 571.000,000 in favor of exports. The growth In iron and steel exports from the United States Is even more clearly shown by a comparison of the movement in certain articles. In 1SS5 tuere, were but 25 classes of sufficient importance to warrant their presenta tion in tl;c monthly records of export movements. In 1903 about 45 separate items of iron and steels manufactures are shown in the Monthly Summary of Com merce and Finance and the list steadily grows from year to year. Machinery, the leading Item of export, has increased from $5,457,640 in the first eight months of 1SS5 to $39.0SS,052 in the corresponding months of the present fiscal year. Under the head of machinery arc Included locomotives, in which tho growth was from $655,0?S in 1SS5, to $1,946,420 in 1905; printing presses, from $116,142 to $874,139; sewing machines, from $1.94S, 491 to $3,809,694; and in addition many other -articles which were not enumer ated in 1SS5, such as cash registers, elec trical machinery, laundry-working ma chinery, typewriters, and other items rep resenting lines of Industry which have only developed In recent years. Steel rails liavc also increased in exports from $177,465 in tho first eight months of 18S5 to $S,000.649 In 1905 to date, and over half of the lutter value represents shipments to tho rapidly developing sections of Canada, while Japan almost equals Eu rope as a market for American rails, be ing credited with $131,30 worth, as against $529,830 for Europe as a whole. Locks, hinges and other builders' hardware in creased from $1,487,313 In 1885 to $7,103, $45 in 1905. though the latter sum is slightly less than the totals for the cor responding periods of 1903 and 1904. the comparisons in each case "being for the first eight months of the fiscal years named. Pig-Iron production in the United States showed but little growth in the 20 years from 1S65 to 1885, being about 1.000.000 tons . and 4.000,000, re spectively, at the two dates named. In the 20 years from 18S5 to 1905 the growth has been nearly $14,000,000. and the increase has - ocurred chiefly In the last teji years, having almost doubled in 1903 as compared with the production of 1893. A study of the figures prepared by the Bureau of Statistics indloates (1) a rapid expansion in the production of pig Iron, beginning with the year 1S94; (2) a decrease in the Imports of iron and stcol manufactures, which have stead ily decreased ' since 1SS0. and in but two years. 1891 and 1903, have touched level reached in the year named; f3) a corre sponding Increase in the exportation of iron and steel manufactures, cspeclally since 1S87; and (4) a disappearance of the set Inward movement of Iron and steel and the substitution of a net ex port movement, beginning with the year Whole "Town Comes to Rescue and Puts Police to Rout.

Trustworthy Linens A wise old head said, not so many years aco. when ; this stare first besran to attract attention: "Oh. well: anybody with money can build a store and can sell some sorts of goods. Lets see If they can win a business in linens." And. as though the whole town had heard the word through a megaphone, our linens were shunned we were not winning a. linen business. It was a lucky failure for the slowness seemed practically a failure to us and we set experts to work, studying linens as no other store had studied them: studying linens as only those who study them are linen-makers and want to excel. Our stocks grew so good that they at last com- manded attention and we had won a linen business. 1ABLS IINEM The- Linen Store First Ploor Our Spring im portation of linens has arrived and the stocks are cpmplete with lin ens from tho best makers in the world.
