Washington, Jaly 24.— Tbe two moot noteworthy featoreo of tbe commercial ntorna of the Philippine islands for 1006 are a balance in faror of the is lands for the first calendar year period in the history of the American occupa tion, and the adrance of American goods to the first rank in the import trade. The favorable trade balance ia doe to increased export values, which aggregated $33,464,744, or more than 14.000,000 in excess of the exports for 1904. An increase of $600,000 in American trade in 1606 with tbe is lands, combined with a decline in rice imports, gives to the United States tbe lead, and in view of tbe anticipated farther decline in the demand for for eign rice in the islands, the United States ia expected to continue to in crease its lead. The increase of $3,000,000 in tbe imports from the United States in the last five years is largely made op 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 Britain gained most in the iron and steel trade with tbe islands, but the United States takes tbe 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- $ 100.000.

Mr. Shaw and other officials of the Treasury de partment expressed themselves as high ly pleased and entirely satisfied with the figures obtained. The total number and amounts of bids made w ill not be ascertained until today, but it la apparent that the whole issue has been subscribed for several times over. The largest and best sin gle offer was that of Fisk & Robinson, of New York, who made six bida of $6,000,000, each at an average of 103.86. Smaller bids at higher prices, however, w ill probably reduce tbe amount which w ill likely be awarded to i&em to about $16,000,000.

Several telegraph ic bids were received too late to be con sidered, but the prices named were too small to be successful. The secretary having stated that the bonds would be numbered serially be ginning with the highest bid, one offer was made at 126 for $1.000, thus secur ing to the bidder bond No. 1.

St. Petersburg, July 23 — Russia’ first experiment in parliamentary g eminent came to an ignominious en< Saturday night with the promulgation of two imperial nkases, the first dis solving the present parliament and pro viding for the convocation of its suc cessor on March 6, 1907, more than six months hence, and tbe seooud pro claiming the capital of Russia and the surrounding province to be in a state of extraordinary security, which is only infinitessimally different from full mar tial law. This measure of safety is to provide for the outburst 'which un' doubtedly w ill be provoked by this daring measure. I t is now but a step to dictatorship. There is little doubt that the order for the convocation of the new assem bly w ill still further postpone the time, an less the new parliament promises to be more amenable than the present. Tbe delay in fixing the time for the new elections seems to indicate a de cision to change tne present basis of suffrage to perhaps a basis of universe suffrage with which the advisers o f the emperor hope to swamp the educated liberals, the Socialists and the work men with the vast mass of peasantry. Tbe only uncertainty is the coming storm— when and where it w ill break The advocates of the ’ ’ mailed fist” be lieve that, by dissolving parliament and provoking a collision now, they will find tbe revolutionary leaders not prepared for an uprising at Moscow whereas further delay would nearly give tbe revolutionists tbe time neat to organize and to continue the corrup tion e iJ h e army. Tbere are no precedents in Russian history for the execution of an order of prorogation, but today probably w ill find the palace in possession of tbe mi lltia and the surrounding streets d eliv ered to the emperor’ s guards.

E l Paso, Tax., July 19.— Earthquake shocks numbering between 50 end 60 have practically made a rain of the town of Socorro, 160 miles north of this piece. Tbe oonrtbonse is a mass of rains, and practically all the booses in town ere damaged. According to re ports received, tbere is no loos of life Tbe damage hes been wrought by continuation of slight quakes, which have canted tbe walls of structures al ready cracked to tumble to tbe earth Tbe first shocks were felt on Sunday, bat tbe rani damage baa been confined to tbe last two days. E. M. Fink, a cattle buyer who came from Socorro today, declares be * sitting at dinner at tbe Winckler hotel on Monday, when tbe entire aide wall o l tbe dining room fell in, and tbe guests and all tbs waiters scattered' every direction. Tb e people are in panic and all whnnan do M a r e leaving town. Tbere ia a crater of what is thought to be an extinct volcano not more than eight miles from Socorro, and the in habitants think that perhaps tbe vol cano has something to do with tbe markable ear lee of shocka. The tom perature of tbe water in Hut Springs at Socorro has increased over ten degrees and it ia thought that this furnishes new evidence of internal upheaval of a local nature, end that tbe earth is dis turbed at great depths in the immediate vicinity of tbe town. The National railroad ia sending box cars into the town to take tbe people away so great is their desire to leave tbe town. Huge boulders bave been jarred down on tbe track from tbe mountain sidee, and trains bave been delayed thereby Tbe bridge abutments have been affect' ed to such an extent that orders have been issned to Santa Fa trainmen to proceed with great caution over bridges within a radios of 80 miles of Socorro Washington, July 23.— In acordance with a supplemental proclamation is sued by tbe president, tue register and receiver of tbe land office for Lander, Wyo., district, shall receive entries for lands in tbe ceded portion of tbe Sho shone reservation at Sboshona, W yo., from Angnet 16 to October 3, 1906, in stead of at Lander, as provided in tbe proclamation of Jane 2. This action was based on tbe fact that the railroad now building into tbe reservation w ill not be constructed from Shoshone to Lander until after August 15, and the change is made to accommodate pros pective entry men. A ll persons wbo draw numbers at tbe drawing, which begina at Lander, Wyo., on Angnet 4, 1906, which num ber« entitle them to moke entry be tween the dates of Aognta 15 and Oc- tooer 3, inclusive, must proceed to Sho shone, W yo., and make their entries instead of going 1o Lander, as provided in tbe first proclamation.

Other coal landa are said to have been filed on ae each by dummies wbo later traneferred them to the corpora tions. More than 100 entries of this character are said to have been ran down. . * W hile these reports cannot be abso lutely verified, a Federal official in this city today admitted that salts are in preparation, making the additional statement that tbe Federal officials in trusted with tbe matter had received positive inetractions from Washington not to talk, bat to prepare for action. I t ia stated also that a Federal grand jury may be called to sift tbe evidence that bas been gathered in preparation for tbe proeecntion of tbe civil cases. Reciprocity Treaty With Spain.

San Francisco, Cal., July 21.— I t now looks as if the insurance risks in the burned district, of. San Francisco w ill foot up considerably more than $260,000,000, and the total may go up to nearly $300,000,000. Tbe esti mates of insurance managers have been crawling upward all tbe time, and tbe figures given in reports filed by the companies with the New York Ioeu r ance department indicate that even the highest estimate which they have made is too low. Several weeks after the conflagration detailed estimate of tbe amount of each company’ s risks fixed the total insurance in the burned district at $262,363,000. Thirty-three companies which have made sworn returns to tbe New York Insurance department, ad mit a liability of $162^199,000. Tbe estimate of their liability was $96,063,- 000. Taking the same percentage of difference for all tbe 108 companies which were included in the list, tbe total of their liabilities would be placed at $269,271,000. An addition must be made for Lloyds, for tbe “ undegrround” con cerns, and for the companies which bad some ricks bere but were not named with tbe 108. This addition may be estimated at $10,000 000, which brings the total up to about $280,000 000. From this calculation tbe German, of Freeport, and the German National are omitted, as their returns to tbe New York Insurance department have a pe culiar look. On the basis of tbe re turns of tbe thirty-three companies above referred to, the German, of Free port, and the German National, wonld be involved to the extent of $6,213,000 in tbe disaster, hut they admit a loss of only $2,817,000.
