Exports Have Decreased $125,000,000 While Imports Have Increased 7 0,000,000.. The figures of the foreign commerce of the United States for the year 1908 show a decrease of about $125,000,000 on exports, and an increase of $70,000,- 000 in imports, compared with 1901. While the figures for December, of course, are not yet available, those of the 11 months which have been re. ceived indicate that the total exports of the year will be $1,340,000,000, and the imports about $950,000,000. This important figure is larger than in any Preceding year, while the exports will also exceed any preceding year, ex- cept 1900 and 1901, The reduction in exports is due to the shortage in the corn crop, and the fact that last year, with which com- parison is now being made, the wheat exports were abnormally large, and that the unusually large home demand and home consumption have reduced the surplus of breadstuffs, provisions and manufactures, especially those of iron and steel, and to that extent re@uced exportations, With the largest iron and steel pro- duction at home ever known the de- mands have been such as to cause an increase during the year of 100 per cent, in the value of importation of iron and steel manufactures, and asa consequence of this phenomenal home demand the exports of iron and steel manufactures during the year are $20,- 000,000 below those of 1900, The shortage of the corn crop last year, due to the drought, has reduced the exportations of corn n irly 100. 000,000 bushels, or about $50,000,000, Wheat exports also show a reduction compared with last year of $30,000,000, due mostly to the fact that last year exports were unusually large, FOR NAVAL INCREASE. Rear Admiral Walker, Retired, De+ elded in His Views aw to Na- tlon's Defenses, Rear Admiral John G. Walker, re- tired, now chairman of the Isthmian ‘anal commission, is outspoken in be- half of a very material increase in both the material and the personnel of the navy. He said: “I see that the house committee has practically decided upon the schedule of action in behalf of a naval increase, The two battleships and two armored cruisers are certainly as few as it should think of providing under present exigencies. But were I in- fluential in drafting that bill I should certainly urge no fewer than four battleships, retaining, of course the two armored cruisers now contem- plated. I think the modern tendency is to continue along the line of in- crease of size, and I am not so sure that the promise is one -of corre sponding increase in military ele ments, “The temptation to run to excessive speed should be checked, not because speed is not essential in some par- ticular types of ships, but I think we have reached a reasonable maximum of that element in our armored ships, We have lived within reasonable lime its in the battleship Connecticut and also in the armored cruiser Tennes- see type.’” RICHES TO HIRED MAN. An Eccentric Farmer of Missoart Wills His Estate ¢o a Former Faithful Employe. Edward Follensby, an eccentric farmer, who owned much land in the region surrounding Hartville, Mo., ind died recently, left practically all his estate to his former hired man, Henry Roseman, who served him faithfully for eight years for less than $375 a year. Roseman’s newly acquired wealth is estimated at from $125,000 to $200,000. A small part of the estate was left to Follensby’s aephew in Minnesota. Follensby was a bachelor. In ad- jition to his own property he had in- aerited the lands and money from his ifelong friend, Jack Cherry, who ‘ame to him to- Missouri eight years igo from California, where both men were once street peddlers and fakirs n San Francisco. Roseman is 32 years old. He has a@ wife and four children, TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL. (natitution for the Cure of Consumpe tion to Be Established Near New Haven, Conn.

The hospital will be run main- y on the fresh air theory. Until now Connecticut tuberculosis patients have had to go to the New York uplands or west for treatment, out Connecticut physicians have be- ieved for some time that the hills of this state offer just as high and iry a climate as the resorts at Sar- anac and in Colorado.
