From figures just published bj r the bureau of statistics of the United States treasury department it ap peurs that trade between tlie United States and its newly-acquired posses sions has had growth that is fairly phenomenal, says the Albany Jour nal. In 1807, the year before that in which the Philippines passed into the possession of the United States, our exports to the archipelago amounted to only $94,597. In lsii!), our total exports to the Philippines were val ued at $404,195; in 1900, at $2,640,449; in 1901, at $4,027.0i54, and when the figures for the fiscal year 1902 are made up, it will be shown that fully f0.000.0U0 worth of American prod ucts were sent to the Philippine arch ipelago. To Porto Rico this country in 1897 sent SL9sS,BSB worth of articles, in the fiscal year 1901 the exports to that island from the United States aggregated $9,051,000, and a conserva tive estimate for the fiscal year just closed is that tlie total value of our exports to Porto Rico will lie shown to lie well above $10,000,000. To Hawaii, which in IV.iT received American products worth $1,090,075, American exporters are now sending about $20,000,000 worth of goods an nually. Within the same five years, imports from the three insular possessions have likewise increased greatly, but not by such percentage as the ex- THE GREAT DEMOCRATIC ANIMAL RACE FOR THE PRESIDENT IAL NOMINATION IN 1904. ports to Ihem.

Mill and other gold democrats over the democratic organizations in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Mas sachusetts and other easterii states, \V. J. Bryan's friends are going' to drop silver, declare the money ques tion is settled and found a new party out of the patches of several old. or ganizations, says a New York report. Announcement to this effect was made by former Senator R. F. I'ettigrew, of South Dakota, after a long conference at Manhattan Beach, in which F. K. Dubois, United States senator from Idaho; Prof. Garret Droppers, of North Dakota; George 1. Shiblc'y, of Washington, 1). C'., and other western democrats took part. lirvan's recent letter to the Tilden club denouncing Cleveland was the first blast of the bugle. During his forthcoming tour of the eastern states he will continue his attacks at every opportunity and endeavor to hold as many of the state organiza tions as possible. I'ettigrew, Dubois nnd Shibley are the advance heralds of the new move ment. Their meeting to-day was said to lie mainly for the purpose of pro viding some literature which is to be scattered along I!rynil's path. After the meeting Mr. I'ettigrew said: "The silver question is dead. What we demanded in 1892 and 1596 was more money. We claimed that better times would result from an increase in the quantity <>f the circulating me | diuip. Alaska and South Africa poured | 1 their great stores of gold into our | I treasuries, and the result was what i .j we predicted. I'rices rose and times : grew better.

Shenandoah, I'a., July 31. —A reign of terror, compared with which the scenes enacted during the riots of 1900 seem insignificant, holds Shenan doah in its grasp. Last evening Cen tre street, one of the principal streets of the town, was in the hands of a mob. The trouble started about 0 o'clock when Deputy Sheriff Thomas IJeddall attempted to escort two non-union workers through the strikers' line of pickets. The workmen were dressed in their street clothes, but one of them carried a bundle under his arm and this aroused the suspicion of the | strikers. The bundle was torn from j him and wiien it was found to contain a blouse and overalls the man was taken from the deputy and beat al most to death. In the meantime IJeddall opened fire on the mob which had gathered by this time, and emptied his revol ver. Two shots took effect, one man being shot in the leg and the otner In the foot. The deputy and the other strike breaker were now compelled to fly for their lives and took refuge in the Philadelphia & Heading de pot. The depot was soon surround ! cd by an angry mob of 5,000, which was becoming more threatening every moment. Joseph lieddall, a hardware merchant and brother of the deputy sheriff, was seen making his way through the crowd in an ef fort to reach his brother, and the j mob, divining that he was carrying ! ammunition to those inside the de ! pot, seized him and beat him with I clubs and billies into insensibility. Shortly after this the entire bor ough police force arrived on the scene and escorted the deputy sheriff and his man to an engine which had been backed into the depot for that purpose. When the mob realized that their prey was about to escape they ! surrounded the engine and the en gineer was afraid to move. In a few moments however, the police fired a volley, dispersing the crowd for a brief period, and the engineer got away with his men. Stones were now thrown thick and fast about the heads of the police, whereupon Chief John Fry gave the order to fire. At the first volley the mob fell back and several fell. It is estimated that upwards of IXOO shots were tired and the won der is that more fatalities did not re sult. More than 20 strikers, all of whom were foreigners, were shot, and at least two of them will die. Many of the merchants and politicians refused to sign the call for troops, fearing that the miners will boycott them after the trouble is over. The doctors of the town dressed the wounds of near 40 strikers. Four out of six policemen were shot, one fatally. Ilarrisburg, l'a., July 31.—The Eighth and Twelfth regiments and governor's troop have been ordered to Shenandoah. Shenandoah. Pa., Aug. I.—Twelve hundred state troops are encamped 011 a hill overlooking Shenandoah. Down in the town where strikers and policemen fought a bloody battle Wednesday all is quiet and the indica tions are that so long as the militia remains the peace of the community, will not again be broken. The riot, which caused the soldiers to be sent here, came like a flash and was over almost as quickly as it had started and since then there has not been a single case of violence reported. The thousands of idle men and boys in t!il- vicinity who had been gathering in large numbers and marching from place to place, did not repeat their demonstrations yesterday and the au thorities consequently had little or iioi hitig to do. The mine workers are greatly In censed over the calling out of the ' troops. They assert that this action was entirely unwarranted and is an unjustifiable expense on the state. The strikers, through their officials, | are making an effort to have the sold iers withdrawn. The lirst step in this direction was taken when the follow- | ing telegram was sent from here to ; Gov. Stones "We the officials of the Miners' union, believe that the request made to you to send troops here was based upon exaggerations, and we respect fully request you to send a personal repp dilative into this town to in vestigate the conditions. We believe von will liud that the presence of the troops in this place is unnecessary.'' The miners" advisory board of thi vicinity, which includes the officers of the several local unions in this region, held a meeting yestcnlav at which plans were devised to prevent any breaks in the ranks of the strikers. One of the things decided upon was to hold frequent meetings of strik ers and have them addressed by the | varioii- di-trlct leaders. I'here was.l large inas meeting of foreigner held re iu the afternoon. Half a ilovteu speeches were made.
