NEW FACES TO
BE SEEN IN THE
COINS SENATE
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—When
the senate of the sixty-fifth congress
meets in special session next month to
confirm, the cabinet and other presi
dential appointees, there will be lfi
new fares in the senate chamber. In
the meantime the sergeant-at arms
will set in place one new desk on the
republican side of the chamber and
will remove another from the demo
cratic side, thus giving the majority
administration party 54 senators
while the minority will have 42. The
present senate has 55 democrats and
41 republicans.
The first popular election of United
States senators, held last November,
resulted in displacing lfi members of
the present senate, not all of whom,
however, were candidates for re-elec
tion. The terms of 22 senators ex
pire' March 3, just half of whom have
been returned by their constituencies
to serve another six-year term. Eight
democrats and a like number of re
publicans go out, and they will be
replaced by seven democrats and nine
republicans, which will not materially
affect democratic control.
In point of service, Senator Clar
ence I). Clark, republican, of Wyom
ing, ranks highest among the retir
ing members. He is to be succeeded
by John If. Kendrick, democrat, pres
ent governor of his state, a thirty-sec
ond degree Mason and reputed to be
one of the largest ranch owners in the
west.
Philander C. Knox, secretary of
state in the Taft cabinet, and an oth
erwise prominent figure in republi
can national politics, succeeds George
T. Oliver, who retires voluntarily as
senator from Pennsylvania. Senator
elect Knox was attorney-general in
the McKinley and Roosevelt cabinets,
serving in the senate from 1304 to
1909, when he resigned to become sec
retary of state. Roth the retiring
senator and the incumbent-elect are
stanch republicans.
After serving one term, John I).
Works, the senior senator from Cali
fornia, retires of his own accord, and
his seat will be taken by Hiram W.

as governor of his state. Senator-elect
Johnson, while one of the founders of
the progressive party in 1912 and a
candidate for vice-president on the
I regressive ticket, has never been in
congress before.
Senator Moses E. Clapp, republican,
of Minnesota, whose service in the
senate dates from 1901, will be dis
placed by Frank B. Kellogg, a repub
lican political figure of his state and
prominent railroad attorney.
The republicans will lose Senator
George Sutherland, of Utah, who fin
ishes his second term in March to
give way to William H. King, bis
democratic opponent last fall. Sena
tor-elect King has served in the house
of representatives.
The democratic floor leader, Senator
John W. Kern, of Indiana, will leave
the senate, and his place will he
taken by Harry S. New, the chairman
of the republican national committee
in 1007.
The Rhode Island electorate has
sent to the senate for the next term
Peter G. Gerry, who was a member of
the house of representatives in the
sixty-third congress. Senator-elect
Gerry is a democrat and succeeds
Henry F. Lippitt, republican, who is
one of two New England senators to
leave the senate this year.
Charles F. Johnson, of Maine, is
the other retiring New Englander.

Hale, takes oath of office, Maine will
have two republicans in the senate, j

ocratic rival, Senator Johnson, last
fall.

a republican, William M. Calder, who
has served in the national house sev
eral terms and who was building com-1
missioner of Brooklyn a dozen years ;
ago. The retiring senator is a demo
crat, James A. O’Gorman, who did
not run for re-election.

(Seattle I’.-1.)
Commerce between the United
States and its nnn-contiguou.- territor
ios of Alaska, Hawaii. Porto Kico and
Samoa for the calendar year 1916
amounted to $391,397,000, as compared
with $295,535,000 in the previous 12
months. This represented an advance
of $96,000,000 for the year, or approx- ,
imately one-third. That the tendency
toward a greater trade .-till continues
is indicated in the figures for the
month of December atone, which show
an increase from $18,200,000 to $25,
571,000, a gain of $7,300,000, or con
siderably more than one-third.
An analysis of these figures ,-hou
that in 1916 the United States s.-nt
merchandise valued at $132,785,000 to
the non-contiguous territories, while
shipments made from these localities
to this country reached the total of
$238,407,000. This demonstrates the
importance of the territories in fur
nishing raw materials to American
industries in return for finished prod
ucts and capital invested in the terri
tories.
One significant feature of the statis
tics is the fact that Alaska now is
sending about $20,000,000 a year in
gold and silver alone to the United
States, nearly three times the $7,500,
000 that this country paid to Uussia j
for the territory. Total trade with
Alaska last year reached the imposing
sum of $94,098,000 in merchandise, ex
clusive of gold and silver. Of the
total, $30,834,000 consisted of ship
ments to Alaska and $63,264,000 ship
ments from Alaska to the United
States.
Commerce with Hawaii aggregated
more than $108,000,000 in 1916 as com
pared with slightly more than $91,
000,000 in the previous year. This!
marked an advance of $17,000,000 or
more than one-sixth. Of the total,
$35,000,000 was composed of ship-i
ments from the United States to the
island, and $72,000,000 merchandise!
sent here. The gain in favor of the
United States for the year amounted
to nearly $7,000,000 while the ship
ments from Hawaii advanced nearly
$10,000,000.
Similar tendencies are noted in the
I
flow of trade with Porto Rico. The
total commerce for the year amounted
to ¥111,000,000, making the largest
aggregate between the United States
and any of its non contiguous territor
ies. Shipments to this country reach
ed $68,000,000, while the reverse move
ment was $43,000,000.
In the case of the Philippine islands
trade amounted to $56,000,000, as com
pared with $40,000,000 in the preced
ing year. This increase was due i-n
tirely to an advance in shipments to
the United States, a gain of nearly
$12,000, while merchandise sent from
the United States to the Philippines
for the P2 months dropped from $26,
000,000 to $22,000,000.
