Agricultural ExportsTho calendar ear la closing ith
every Indication that tho remarkableolume ot export3 will remain at the
flood A bulletin from tho bureau otstatistics nt Washington la testimonyto this effect Xhe bulletin deals with
the exports of domestic breadstuffsmeat and dairy products food animals
cotton and mlnoral oils for November
and for tho 11 months ot tho presentyear ended wj th November Tho totalof theso exports for November was
105311000 against 993ll 0001n 1905
and for the 11 months J78S257000compared with 703509000 last year
ho December returns are not likely
to show any relatfvo decrease and tho
entire year Is fairly certain to show a
largo advance over last Several
features oflho bulfetln sho wlng com-
mand special Interest Though theiewas something of a falling toft In thisclass of exports for he month our
Bbjpments abroad of meat and dalry-
productsand of food cattle were 208
979000 In 190S or more than 20000
000 In excess ot these ot the sanio 11
months of 1905 Legislator by con
Kress andJtho steps taken by the ad-
ministration In accordance therewithaiming at safeguarding tho purity tlthe output have Increased foreign con-
fidence Tho figures are of value as
proving that while we sell abroad less
barley oats and corn we are disposing
In largo quantity of what may be
called the finished products from such
raw material Tho Americans arefeeding more of tho grain to llvo stocjt
and selling more cattlo and meat to-
tho old world This Is really aneconomic advantage as finding a mar-
ket for tho higher valued product al-
ways Is The bulletin accentuates thepredominance ot this country as a
source of food supply whilo the com-
plete returns aro pretty certain toprove that It has been a big1 yoar for
exports of manufactures also

the city Tuesday to deliver a lectureIn an Interview too expressed greatconcernover the probability of warwith Japah and predicted that the yel-
Jow men would precipitate a conflictwith the1 United States In less thanfive years He thinks they havo everyeliovv ot success to drlv e us frpm theOrient
Capt Hobson said I think that thoJapanese fivant to brlrig oH AaV with
the United States at the earliest posfttbto moment without flying fn tlieface of public opinion They will cre¬
ate a pretext If necessary They cani
cosily capture the Philippines and Ha-
wailan Islands and exclude us from
the Orient Our navy Is at present to-
tally¬
inadequate to cope with the situ-
ation
¬
and Japan knows It Tho Japan-
ese
¬
realize theat thero will eventuallybe a war for supremacy between thewhlto and the yellow races and for
that reason desrea to entrench her-
self as the sole power In the tirlentShe realizes that it a war with thethe United States met with successit must be precipitated within the nextfive years before we have had timeto properly strengthen our naVy Jap-
an¬
will find sOmo pietext to bringabout war The California trouble isonly one step in that direction Whileas proud of the Nations naval historyas any American I do not think weare prepared to cope with Japan on-
tho Pacific The quicker the UnitedStates takes stops to prepare for lhsWar tho better it will ba for the Na-
