Heavy Trade with South America Records for the Past Twelve Months Show That This Year Will Be a Banner OneSome Statistics.

WasMngton, Dec. 20. Trade be

tween South America and the United States in 1909 will exceed all previous records, with a total of nearly 260 million dollars, against 233 millions in 1907 and 129 millions in 1S99. Of this total of 260 millions, 175 millions is the estimated total of imports from,

and S3 millions that of exports to

South America. Imports from South America in the calendar year 1909 show an Increase of nearly 40 percent over those of last year, and the full year's record will probably exceed by 25 million dollars, that of 1906, until now the banner year in our imports from South America. In the 10 months for which detailed information has reached the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor, imports from South America aggregated 143 million dollars, compared with 101 millions in a like period of 1908, 126 millions in 1907 and 111 millions in 1906. The South American countries participating most largely in the import trade of the United States, stated in the order of Importations in 10 months of the present year, are: Brazil, Argentine, Chile, Venezuela, Columbia, Peru, Uruguay, Ecuador, Dutch Guiana, .British Guiana, French Guiana, Paraguay and Bolivia. From Bolivia our nominal imports are practically nil by reason of its inland location. In the 10 months ending with October of the years named, imports from Brazil Increased from 58 million dollars in 1908 to 82 millions in 1909; Argentina, from 10 1-3 millions to 22 millions; Chile, from 10 millions to 13 millions; Venezuela, from 6 millions to 7 millions; Uruguay, from 1 millions to 4 millions; and those from Ecuador, from 1 millions to 2 millions, while imports from Peru for both periods aggregated about 5 millions. Coffee Is the largest Item of Importation from South America, the value imported in the 10 months of 1909 having been 54 million dollars, against 45 millions in the same

months of the preceding year; while the articles next in importance are: India rubber, 32 million dollars in 1909, against 17 millions in a like period of 1908; hides of cattle, 13 million dollars, compared with 6 millions last year; wool, 8 million dollars, compared with 3 millions last year; goat skins, 4 million dollars, against less than 3 millions last year; cacao and cocoa, crude, 3 2-3 million dollars, practically the same value as that for the 10 months of the preceding year; copper pigs, bars, etc., 3 million dollars, a decrease of about $200,000 compared with last year, and copper ore and matte, 2 million dollars, compared with 1 million last year; while other articles showing each a total of less than 1 million dollars of importations in the 10 month period of 1909 include raw cotton, 733 thousand dollars; sugar, 625 thousand and bananas 329 thousand dollars. South America furnishes about eight-ninths of the coffee supply of the United States, the total imports of coffee into the country during the 10 months of 1909 having been 845 million pounds, valued at 64 million dollars, of which 745 million pounds, valued at 54 million dollars came from South America, Brazil's share alone being 649 million nounds. Brazil is

the largest single source of supply for rubber imported into the United States, furnishing nearly one-half of the 73 million pounds Imported in the

10 months of 1909 under review, the

remainder chiefly from Mexico, Africa

and the East Indies. Of the 98 million pounds of goat skins imported into the United States in 10 months of

1909, 3 2-3 millions were from Brazil

and 6 1-3 from other South America; while of the total imports of cattle hides, aggregating 208 million pounds in the period under discussion, Brazil's share was but 2 2-3 million pounds out of a total importation of 89 millions from al South America. Of the 271 million pounds of wool imported during the 10 months of 1909,

34 millions was clothintr wool from

Argentina, 4 1-3 millions clothing wool

from other South America, and 7 mil

lions carpet wool from that continent.

Exports to South America in 1909

will approximate if not actually equal

the high record total of 86 millions made in the calendar year 1907. For the 10 months under review the total is 67 millions, against 71 millions in 1907. Comparing 10 months' exnorts

in 1909 with those of a like period of

1908 exports to Brazil increased from

14 million dollars to 16 millions; those

to Argentina, from 28 millions to 29 millions; to Chile, from 4 millions to 5 millions; Uruguay, from 2 millions to 3 millions and those to Venezuela, from nearly 2 millions to a little over 2 millions.

Manufactures supply by far the larg

est proportion of the exports to South America, while raw materials and foodstuffs supply most of the imDorts

from that continent Exports of illum

inating oil to South America showed in the 10 months of 1909 a total of

6 million dollars; boards, etc.. 5

millions; agricultural implements, 5

millions; cotton cloth, scientific instruments, rails, wire and hardware, each about 2 millions: and naval

stores, twine, sewing machines, up

Indianapolis, Dec. 20. Senator Beveridge is at home for the holiday vacation of congress, and he is a busy man, too. He is putting in most of his time at his home, working on a

bill for the government of Alaska. He is chairman of the senate committee on territories, and it will be up to him to offer the bill to the senate. Before he left Washington he had a long conference with President Taft on this subject, and he found that his ideas and the ideas of the president were identical. Therefore, when the bill goes in it will reflect

the views of the president. Senator Beveridge is fully impressed with the necessity for giving attention to governmental affairs In Alaska. He realizes that Alaska comprises a vast territory and that it is rich in resources. He is also convinced that it would not be practicable to create a legislature and other forms of territorial government in Alaska. Ideas of President. The idea of President Taft is to have a bill which will empower the president to appoint a governor and an executive council for Alaska, the members of the executive council to live in Alaska during their terms of office. He believes this council should have legislative powers sufficient to enable it to give to the territory local laws adapted to its present growth. He does not favor legislation looking to the election of a territorial legislature for Alaska. He believes that on account of the lack of permanent residence of a large part of the population and the smaller number of people who live in the territory as compared with the expanse and variety

of interests would make the election of a legislative body the wrong course.

Senator Beveridge will be a very

busy man while he is in Indianapolis, as he will work the proposed bill

out very carefully. He is also doing

some literary work.

In regard to appointments which

he is to make in the near future, Senator Beveridge said: "These mat

ters are being taken up and threshed out very carefully. The entire office

force and myself are at work and we

are going slowly and are making an

independent investigation in each

case. As soon as we have satisfied

ourselves In any investigation and it

has been tested out, action will be

taken, but we are doing it very carefully."

Eggs Worth Millions. Two poached eggs on toast cnc formed the foundation of the great New York stock market. If the eggs were eaten securities advanced in 5rice; if left untouched Wall street shivered and quotations crumbled. One morning the eggs proved worth a thousand times their weight in gold, ior the news that they had been eaten with relish added 2 per cent to active stocks. Even 1 per cent on the f 10,000,000.000 securities listed on the New York exchange would be equivalent to $100,000,000. By such trifles is tVall street swayed when seized by hysteria, when hypnotized by a personality, when lost to the sound reason that usually governs its actions. Bert C.

Newark, N. J., Dec. 20. Two aged maiden sisters. Prances and Isabel Ritchie, were found dead in their horn? here. They had lived alone in the same house for the past 30 years. Their source of income was as mysterious &3 their secluded life, but they kept their house in order and paid their bills regularly. Frances, the elder, was found lying on the floor, while the body of the sister dangled from a piece of clothesline made fast above a door. The first indications were that Frances had did from natural causes and that Isabel hanged herself in a paroxysm of grief. This theory was dispelled when a small book was found in the dining room, on the cover of which had been written the words "Frances hung herself at 2:30 Sat. Me, too." This led to the belief that the two old women had carried out a suicide pact. Frances hanging herself first and the body being cut down by the sister, but further investigation brought to . light more grewsome details. Underneath her clothing and sticking in the breast of Frances was a hatpin buried in the flesh to its black head. The pin had been driven close to the heart to a depth of about foninches. Similar wounds, but of not such a serious natuie, were found on the other body, which leads to the blief that the sisters may have quarreled and fought. Whether Frances deliberately hanged her sister, then killed herself with the hatpin, or whether the sister found hanging stabbed the other and then

ended her own life, will perhaps never be known. The hands of the body on the floor were carefully crossed and the head rested on a sofa cushion. There is a possibility that both were murdered, but the house shows no trace of having been entered by strangers. The women had lived alone since the death of their mother, more than 13 years ago, with a large dog as their sole companion. Recently the dog died, and since that time the women had been despondent. The owner of the bouse which they occupied, having been unable to gain admittance since Tuesday last, notified a policeman, who forced entrance yesterday. The women were last seen alive on Saturday.
