The two most noteworthy features of the commercial returns of the Philippine islands or 1006 are a balance ln favor of the iti lands for the first calendar year period in the history oi the American occupa tion, nnd the advance of American goods to the first rank in the import trade. The favorable trade balance is due to increased export values, which aggregated $83,454,744, or more than $4,000,000 in excess of the exports for 1004. An increane of $600,000 In American trade in 1005 with the Is lands, combined with a decline In rice imports, gives to the United States the lead, and in view of the anticipated further decline in the demand for for eign rice in the islands, the United States is expected to continue to in crease its lead. Tiio increase of $2,000,000 ln the Imports from the United States in the last five years is largely made up of imports of iron and steel and their manufactures; cotton, raw and manu factured, and Illuminating oil. The Iron and steel trade approximated $3, 000,000 In value. Great Urltain gained mosi In the Iron and steel trade with the islands, but the United States takes the lead, whereas Great Britain was formerly in the lead. There is still great room for improvement in the ex ports from the United States to the is lands. CANNED MEAT EXPORT8. Japan Used Large Quantities During War With Russia. Washington, July 24. Complete fig ures of the exports of American canned meats for tho past fiscal year are shown today In a statement issued by tho de partment of Commerco and Labor. The value of canned meats exported from the United States in Juno, 1000, was $401,100. against $707,127 In Juno, 1005, and in the fiscal year 1000. $0, 233,410, against $0,077,045 in 1005. The figures for the flascl rear 1000 included: Canned beef, $0,430,440; canned pork, $1,216,85,7; and other canned meats, $1,587,107. The quan tity of canned beef exported in the fis cal year was 04,523,850 pounds, a. against 00,088,608 pounds in 1005. The reduction in exports occurred al most exclusively in the shipments to Japan, which country took large amounts of American beef during the wni, but greatly decreased her imports nn the dlsbandment of the army. The exports to Japan during the fiscal year 1000 were 2,300,683 pounds, against 14,087,106 pounds in 1005, and in the month of June, 1000, were 94,412 pounds, against 3,012,188 pounds in June. 1005. The United Kingdom was the great ret buyer of canned beef, exports to that country Increasing 4, 758, bio pounds for the fiscal year, but decreas ing for the month of June, 1000. YEARN FOR OLD HOME. No Houses for Hundreds Who Would Return to San Francisco. San Francisco, July 24. 8an Fran cisco's greatest need is homes. The people who were driven from the city at the time of tho disaster are eager to return, several thousand laborers are imperatively needed to aid in the work of rebuilding, but thore are no houses for them The rehabilitation commit tee has set to work to furnish relief, but the resources at Ha command will admit of only slight assistance. This committee will build some 3,000 homes for workmen, but thia will not oven serve to house the thousands still liv ing In tents. It is to Individual initiative that tho city must look. Evidences that this will be forcthcomlng are beginning to appear In the Richmond district, tho sec tion located butween Golden Gate park and the neck of tho bay, sevoral homes are being erected and have been rented In advance. ' Still It is to tho stretch of land south of Market street that the people must look for the rebuilding of homes in suf ficient quantity to aoho tho problem. Here dwelt the thousands of the city's poorest and lv is to tills section that they wish to return. Unbreakable Passenger Car. WAfthlntrtan. Julv 24. A steel pas senger car has recently been comploted in Pittsburg for the Southern railway which is regarded as the beginning of tbn onnnral iibb of fltcol instead of wood for all kinds of railway cars. The car is 74 feat 40 incbus long over all anil weighs 110,000 pounds. Tboro was no wnml imml In its construction excont for the interior decorations, and that wood was made fireproof. It is said that tho car could not be telescoped in a collis ion, neithor could the ends be smashed In, and it is non combustible Kaiser as Czar's Evil Genius. Rf Patarnliiirtr. Julv 24.

APPEAL Jfl PEOPLE Russian Parliament Telis Them Not to Pay Taxes. CZAR MAY IMPRISON LEADERS Guards Prevent Newspapers From Publishing Revolutionary Man ifestoMuch Disorder. St. Petersburg, July 24. The great news of today is the adoption of an ad dress to the people by the deputies to parliament, who assembled at Viborg, tho language of which, with its revolu tionary demands that the people cease to furnish money and troops to the gov ernment and repudiate further loans, affords pretext enough for the govern ment to lodge Its authors in the fortress if it feels strong enough. A rumor was spread tonight that this course bad been decided upon-. Copies of the appeal to the people are in the hands of all St. Petersburg newspapers, but it will scarcely be printed tomorrow, for the reason that a detachmont of police is posted at the door of every newspaper printing office in tho city, with orders not to permit any papers to leave the building until authorized by tho censor. The author ities hope by equally vigorous measures to prevent the publication of the appeal in other cities, and in the meantime to nullify tho fears of the people as to tho possible effect of the appeal. Meanwhile tho masses of the Russian pooplo, slow of thought and action, hate not yet roused themselves to the gigantic upheaval which is sure to fol low tho dissolution of their parliament Minor disorders are reported from ha a dozen cities. An incipient antl-Jow ish outbreak at Odessa has been check ed by the police. A sympathetic strike baa been begun at tho Kbaikov rail road shops, which may inaugurate a general tieup of communication, but St. Petersburg, Moscow and most of the other great centers are still calm. SECRETS OF DREADNAUGHT. British Admiralty Makes Public Her Plan of Armament. London. July 24. The first official announcement regarding the battleship Dreadnaugbt ia contained in a white book on naval construction the past year, which was issuod tonight. Be sides ten 12-Inch guns announced, the Dreadnaugbt will have 27 12-pound quick Urine anti-torpedo boat guns and fivo submerged torpedo tubes. In the arrangement of the armament bIx of the big guns are mounted In pairs on the center line of the ship, and tbe re maining four are mounted in pairs as broadsides. In view of the modern potentialities of torpedo boats, and considering es pecially tbe chances of a torpedo attack toward the end of tbe battle, tbe anti- torpedo boat guns are widely separated so that the whole of them cannot be disabled by one shell. Tbe speed is designed to be 27 knots. T'jo bunker capacity is 2,700 tons, with which the Dreadnaugbt can steam 6,800 sea milen at economical speed and 3,600 miles at 18 knots. The estimated cost of the Dread naught, including guns, Ib $8,087,485. MANY BURIED ALIVE. Building In Massachusetts Town Col lapses on Workmen. South Framingham, Mass., July 24. At lenat eight and perhapa twice that number of raanona, plumbers and Ital ian laborers wore crushed to death to day in the sudden collapse of a build ing in process of erection on Concord street, while ten others were dragged or dug out of the wreck, some seriously injured. At a late hour tonight ton men were missing and a large force of laborers was at work-on the ruins, searching for the dead. Firemen and membors of the Ninth regiment of infantry of the state mili tia, in camp here, succeeded in digging out half a dozen injured, and later found others. Panic Among Odessa Jews. Odessa, July 24. The Jews bore are in a state of panic, fearing an anti Jewish outbreak as tbe result of tho killing of a diunkon Cossack who re cently wandered through the Jewieh quarter brandishing his saber and ehoutinu: "Death to the Jews." Gov ernor Generul Kaulbars, addressing a delegation of Jews today, said: "I vouch for my soldiers, but I am unable to say what the Coasacke or Christian civilians might do." The slightest Incident might start trouble. Cossacks this morning looted three Jewish shops. Bloodshed by Railroads. Wnnltlnatnn. Julv 24.

Not all men are fitted for all things. The fact that nn Individual shines In ono profession Is no proof that he may adopt nny career with equal micccm. Hob, whoso adventures are recorded ln Mr. Whltmarsh's "Tho World's Rough Hand," was a good fellow, and doubt less played his part ln tho world with credit to himself, but he was not born to be a diver, as his experiences allow. Ono of tho greatest dangers In diving Is that of panic. The quality a diver needs more than any other Is presence of tnlnd. A young Scotchman, six feet tall, by tho name of Hob, applied to mo for a position as diver. Ho had a sweetheart at home, and, tempted by the high wages, was anxious to leant tho business. One time, when work was slack, I let him go down. I told him minutely how to manage, screwed on bin face glass and sent him under. I felt him land on the bottom and signal that all was right Then he walked away from tho boat, paying out most of the line. After a little he stopped. I Imagined him resting, and thought ho was doing remarkably well. All at onco I noticed a dark, bladder like object floating nt some distance from the boat At first I thought it wuh a turtle. Something made me look nt It more carefully, and then I began to haul the line In. The "turtle" was Itob. As he drew nearer we could hear him screaming his loudest Inside the swollen dress. I got him alongside, un screwed the escape valve, and hauled him on deck. All the time he was cry ing, "Let mo out!' When Itob cumo to his senses, wo learned tliat ho had become frightened lest his dress should burst, anil had screwed tho escape valve the' wrong way, keeping In the air Instead of let ting It escape. He lost his presence of mind altogether, nnd fell down. Tho confined air accumulated In tho bulk lest part of the dress and floated him The second attempt Hob uiude as a diver nearly cost him his life. He made the very same mistake with tbe vale. Then, crazed by fear, he began to un screw his face glass. Fortunately for his sweetheart ho lost consciousness before ho got It off. He was delirious for some hours after we had hauled him up. We decided be was not fit for a diver, and that his road to Tor tune lay ln some other direction. HOU8E KEPT ON PROBATION. After h WeeU Trial Wtdor and Wltlorrar Are Dulr Married. Lamar County furnishes a case of marrlago after probation that Is unique and suggestive. A widower farmer desiring a wife was Introduced by a mutual friend to ti widow with children temporarily abld; inc In a charity institution. Both were favorably Impressed, at first acquaintance, but the woman sug Bested that she keep house for tho farm er for a week, and at tho end of that time each could more intelligently de termine tho grave question of a union for life. Accordingly she went with her children and was duly Installed as housekeeper. Tho experiment was eminently satis factory to both parties and at the end of the week they were married. Perhaps It will shock the sentimental and the romantic, but the Incident con tains the wise suggestion that folk de slrlmr to become husband and wife should bo sure of knowing each other In their common clothes and under workaday conditions. Parlor manners on tho part of tho woman and picnic gallantry on. tho part of the man are not conclusive Indexes of character, nor Is tho yumyum ecstasy of Infatuation sulllclent evidence of compatibility. Keenlnc comnany nowadays runs too much to bonbons and embossed station ery. Of course, there Is abundant op portunity to get ucqualntea after tuo engagement, but It Is before tho avowal that the pair ought to put each other through the practical paces. It would savo many a heartache, though It may play the dickens with the business of tho divorce lawyers. Fort Worth Record. T CHINED LOOSE ON THE WORLD ' . - -dU .

The longest railway In the Philip pines will be the government line lead ing through the wonderfully fertile In terior of Luzon from Manila to Apar rl, the northermost port of the Island. It will be, as It were, the great trans continental system In the iHlands. The survey calls for a line 330 miles In length. With the exception of one dlfflcult" grade, the road will be com paratively level, and trains should make the trip In ten hours. Recent ly the writer traveled oyer the line of this survey on horseback. In all the trip tfiere was only Fcen one hillside of about three acres which was barren land, and hero It was being worked for a lime quarry.

It will cross these mountains over the South Caraballo pass, elevation 3,750 feet Tbe sum mlts are covered with Immense hard wood trees. Tho railroad will climb for thlrty flvo or forty miles through these moun tains. Tno country reminds one of the Cumberland mountains if Tennessee. There are occasional littlo settlements ln the val leys where tho Indians Igorrotes from Renguet Province grow coffee. Every little farm Is protected with n bam boo fence to keep out tho deer nnd wild bonr. There are no native Tag alogs dwelling ln the mountains. Thcso Indians are stronger and more Indus trious than the Filipino of tho plains. About twenty-five miles above Bam bang In Neuvn Vlzcaya Province the survey strikes a tributary of the Magat Hlver at nn altitude of a little moro than 2,500 feet. From this point until near Apnrrl there Is an almost Im perceptible decline ln the grade. Rambang Is the prettiest little town ln tho Phlllppluo Islands. The people aro "paclflcos" nnd took no pnrt In the Insurrection. Only ono company of American troops tins' ever been In Bam bang.

From Rambang tho railroad will run almost directly cast down the Magat Vnlloy to tho Cngnyan Valley, llfty nlno miles by tho mil, then dowu the Cngnyan Valley almost duo north to Aparrl. . In all this traveling one Is Impress ed by the fact that the Philippine Islands still possess vast stretches of immensely fertile but unsettled country. CARELESSNESS! N AMERICA. Larger Percentage ef Aeeldeate haa la Other Landa. Our national careleesnees Is the ex planation given by the Literary Digest fer our dreadful record of accidents, Bays Auerlcaa Medicine. Ia revlewlac nn nrtlcle by G. B. Walsh upon accident-preventing devices In America (Casslcr's magazine), It Is shown tliat we stand first in the world In the acci dent record and that the rule seems to npply to nil trades nnd professions. Tho proportion of miners killed, for instance, Is nearly treble that in France, and about double that ln other Euro lean countries. For every five men killed by accident In the United States there nre only three ln nil flatlons of Europe combined. Our railroads alone kill twenty-one people every day. The remarkable fact Is brought out that we lead the world In the invention of accident-preventing devices, and adopt fewer of them than any other country. Indeed, mnny of the Inventions travel to Europe for recognition and adoption. It Is claimed that our workmen will not use the safety devices, as something childish, "but prefer to run the risk Ilka men. This Is true, but It Is also true of European workmen. Indeed, the old story of the safety lamp ln mines shows that accustomed dangers are forgotten or minimized. Permanent "museums of security," such as that In Amsterdam, Walsh says, should be established. In these there are on constant exhibition every conceivable device for lessening risk to life from accident. They will educate" the public, and the workmen will grad ually be brought to the point of de manding protection. It Is suggested that employers be held to a stricter accountability and be compelled by iaw to safeguard employes, as ln Europe', but it can be replied that American workmen will not submit to restrictions eaBily Imposed In Europe. They are free agents, with a right to kill thern selves, If they please, or Injure others. No man Is his brother's keeper here, nnd this Is probably tbe real basis for our national disregard of the rights of others. It Is more than carelessness. The surgeons of the country see nil these accidents, and carefully Investi gate each case. It seems reasonable to suggest unit mey suouiu De nuie to see the causes and suggest remedies. Knowing more of the matter than nny other body of men, can they not take some concerted nctlon which would mnke life safer ln America? American dlsregurd for human life Is the fact which seems to Impress Euro pean visitors more profoundly than nny other chnrncterlstlc. Since we claim to be the most democratic people on enrth, It seems remarkable thnt with more power In our hnnds thnn nny oth er nntlon, we are unnble to safeguard ourselves to anything like the extent accomplished by monarchic nations of tho enlightened parts of Europe. Her Idea of Gentle Polk. The following anecdote recently brought to Richmond by a Georgia woman is a true story: A Boston couple were recreating near Augusta and met an old negro woman to whom they took n fnncy. They In vited her to pay them n visit and tha black woman accepted, especially na her expenses were paid. In duo time shu arrived in Boston nnd wns Installed In tho house of the whlfe folks. She oc cupied ono of the best rooms and nte at tho same table with - her host and hostess. At one of the meals the host ess said: "Mrs. Jones, you wero a slave, weren't you?" "Yes, mnrm," replied Mrs, Jones, "I b'louged to Mar's Robert Howell." "I suppose ho never Invited you to eat nt his table," remarked tho Boston woman. "No, honey, dat ho ain't," replied Mrs, Jones. "My master wns n gentleman. Ho nln't never lot no nigger set nt ds table long cr him." And In making this speech she meant no disrespect to her hostess. Sho meant merely to point out n natural distinc tion." Baltimore Sun. Stopped WalklHar. "I suppose your husband hasn't dons much walking slnco he bought bis new auto?" "No, Indeed.
