Interment at Our Exports Show a Marked In crease in the Fiscal Year Just Ended. RELATIONS GROWING CLOSER Plans for a Pan American Eailroad, American. Capital in Control cf Transcontinental System. Eagle Bureau, 60S Fourteenth Street, Washington, D. July 22 Exports from the United States to all American countries and islands south ot her boundaries show a marked increase in the fiscal year just ended and exceed those of any other year in the history of our commerce.

This statement, just announced by the Treasury Bureau of. Statistics, is especially interesting In view the various efforts being made lor closer business, commercial, and transportation re lations between the United States and her neighbors at tho south. New lines of steam ers have recently been put on between the Pacific coast of the United States and the western coast ot Mexico, Central and South America; a recently published statement in dicates that great financial interests of the United States have obtained control of the nearly completed transcontinental line con necting Argentine with Chili; the establishment of additional direct steamship lines between the eastern coast of the United States and South American ports is under discussion, and the opening of an Isthmian canal would give a straight line of water communication from the eastern coast of the United States to the western coast of South America All of these movements in the direction of closer relations between the United States and her neighbors at the south add Interest to the announcement that our exports to those countries In 1901 are larger than those of any preceding year, and to some figures just presented by the Bureau of Statistics showing the imports of each of the South American countries at the latest date and the exports from the United States to each of those countries in 1901. The growth of exports from the United States to Central and South America has not kept pace In the past with the growth In other directions. The total exports to South America in 1900, for Instance, were no more than those of 1890, being in each of those years, round numbers.

thirty elKht million dollars, while the same statement holds good wltn reference to Central America, the total exports from the United States to the Cen tral American states being in 1890 and 1900 in each case in round numbers five million dollars. It Is to Mexico and the West Indies that our exports In the decade 1890 1900 show the greatest increase, being: To to the West Indies, in 1890, thirty three millions, and in 1900, forty seven millions; and to Mexico in 1890, thirteen millions, and in 1900 thirty four millions. Tho fiscal years 1900 and 1901 show a much greater Increase in our sales to our neighbors at the south than In any preceding years. The totnl exports to Mexico, Central and South Amririca and the West Indies In 1899 were In 1900, $127,000,000, and in 1901, $138,000,000 in round numbers. Thus the figures of 1901 are thirty five millions greater than those of 1899, while the 1S99 figures are only one million greater than those of 1893.

The importance of satisfactory transporta tion facilities is illustrated by a study of the growtn or our export trade with the countries at the South. Prior to the construction of railway lines connecting Mexico with tho United States our exports to Mexico sel dom reached by 1896 they were by 1899, in 1900, $34, 000,000, and in 1901, $37,000,000, In round numbers. To the West Indies the transportation system is much more satisfactory than tne south American countries, and to islands our exports have grown from $34, 000,000 in 1891 to $49,000,000 in 1901. To Central and South America, with which steamship communication has not been satisfactory, the growth has been less, the figures, as already indicated, being in 1900 practically the same as in 1890, while the figures for 1900 and 1901 show in each case a considerable Increase. This increase is especially notable in the exports to the countries on the western coast of South America reached by the recently established lines connecting tho western coast of the United States with that of South and Central America, and which were put Into operation about the beginning of the present calendar year.

The figures of our exports to South America show an Increase of nearly 100 per cent, to Peru in eleven months ending with May, 1901, as compared with the same period of the fiscal year 1900, and nearly 100 per cent, to Chill in the same time. Of the increase of $6,000,000 in exports to South America in 1901, as compared with 1900, more than two thirds Is to the countries on the western! coast.

The announcement that American capital has taken control of and will complete the unfinished section of the Transcontinental Railway System of South America, connecting Chili and Argentine suggests that there may follow a practical revival of Interest in the great project for a Pan American railway line to connect the North and South Amorlcan railway systems, advocated for many years by Hinton Rowan Holper, and lends Interest to tho figures of the report the Intercontinental Railway Commission on the proposed through railway lino from New York to Buenos Ayres.

These figures, which were issued in lSSS, sbo the entire distance, by the proposed route, from Xew York to Buenos Ayres to be 10,228 miles, of which 4,772 miles were then constructed, and 5,466 yet to be constructed, at an estimated cost of $176,000,000, The following table shows tho number of mllos of railway suitable for a through Pan American line existing in each country In 1898, and the number of miles necessary to be constructed to complete the throuEli line: Cons To be eon ICstimnted sii ucica, structed. cost of Countries.

TBIP ON NEW TUGBOAT; About 40 prominent South Brooklynltes en Joyed a trip to Newburg up the Hudson yesterday as tho guests of Captain Henry Hoffman of Flatbush. The handsome new tug fcoat. Admiral Dewey, one of the finest, fastest and moat thoroughly equipped tugs in Now York harbor started from the foot of JPortjr second street with the party STATEN ISLAND NOTES. Tho SouthSeld Beach Railroad, first trol jloy lino built In Richmond Borough since the completion of tho Staten Island electric and Midland systems, was formally opened yesterday and carried several thousand people between South Boach aad Midland Beach, which it connects. The road Is about a mile nd a half long, but is an important link In the transit facilities on the borough's east shore.

It has beon in courso of construction for three and Its builders havo met obstructions from all sides. The first flBht was with the Midland Railroad, which controls Midland Boach, over the right to enter that resort, and tho last was with the city departments of highways and building, Orating and supplies. Tho highways department was beaten by an injunction from Supreme Court Justice Wilmot M. Smith and last week the same judge granted a writ of mandamus to coinpel tho Department of BuildingB, Lighting and Supplies to issue a permit for the stringing of a feod wire from Livingston to South Beach all that was needed to put the road In operation. It is aald to be the intention of the builders of this railroad, the New York and Btaten Island Electric Company, to keep right on down the south shore of tho island and ultimately reach Giffords, Richmond Boach bad possibly Tottsnville.

The land near the ocean l3 all level, requiring little grading, Vrhlle the consents of the owners of property over which It runs can easily be obtained, thus obviating the necossity of asking the Municipal Assembly for any franchises over public roads. The annual report of the borough school board shows that there has been a large increase of scholars during the last year in the public schools of the borough, and that new school houses are imperative in some sections and that work on the new high school at St. George cannot be long delayed. At the close of 1900 the register was 9,268, while lor 1901 it was 9.59G an increase of 328. The average attondance for 1900 was 7,332 and for 1201 was 7,877, an Increase of 545.

Tho school board has bought a site for a new choot bensa on the corner of Fingerboard road and Grant avenue. Fort Wadsworth, but as there li no money there Is no likelihood that a building will be erected very shortly. A certificate of merger of the New Ycrk and Richmond Gas Company and tho Richmond County.

VALUABLE RELICS SECURED. Extensive Deposit of Mastodon Remains Discovered Near St. Louis Bones Perfectly Preserved. Los Angeles, July 22 A prehistoric city of Immense proportions is said to have been unearthed on the Navajo Indian reservation between Durango, and Farming ton, N. M.

The particulars of the find have been reported to the Land Department of the Santa Fe system in this city. A palace has been found containing, it is said, about 1,000 separate apartments, some of them In an excellent state of preserva tion. Another stone castle contained 100 separate apartments. In some of the rooms were found the finest of wood and other relics of a valuable character, specimens of whieb have been gathered and sent to the Smithsonian In stitution. Deposit of Mastodon Remains Near St.

Louis. St, Louis, July 22 Members of the World's Fair Committees: Oil History and Ethnology and Anthropology, with Secretary Walter B. Stevens of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, have visited an extensive deposit of mastodon remains near Kimmswick, on the Mississippi River, twenty miles below here. The deposit is said to be the most im portant ever unearthed, because of the great number of almost perfectly preserved bones found. Whole heads, with the upper and lower jaws and the craniums and femurs five feet in length, have been found in an excellent state of preservation.

President Professor Beeler believes he has enough bones tn build up several skeletons of the mastodons. It was the purpose of Secretary Stevens and Chairmen Lehman and Chouteau to ascertain If a suitable ex hibit of these remains could be made at the world's fair. Dr. Lucas and his confreres believe that in the vicinity of Kimmslck, the edge of the famous "Ozark Uplift," was tho favorite feeding grounds of the extinct animals, which lived and died thereabout in large numbers. BODIES OF SIX MINERS FOUND.

Belief That They Perished Prom Ex posure and Exhaustion While Prospecting. Nome, July 10, via Seattle, July 22 A tragic story comes from St. Michael. A party of men, en route to Nome, recently found the bodies of six men at a point near Cape Romanoff. It is presumed they all froze to death during one of the blizzards that prevailed last winter.

The bodies were scattered five of them about a quarter of a mile apart. They were outstretched upon the tundra and each was fcund wrapped In blankets. Each had some camp equipment near him, but no food. One of the dead men had evidently either been injured or sick, as lie lay on a litter constructed of a pair of oars and canvas sheet. It would seem that the storm must have overcome the party.

Genera! Randall was notified and has ordered out a party of soldiers to bring in the bodies, and every effort will be made to identify them.

To the Editor ot the Brooklyn Eagle: I was please to notice in your paper of Saturday a statement that the people of Grecnpolnt havo come to realize the undesirable condition of a place which I have long been accustomed to call the "Meserolo wilderness," and that the ministers of that locality are proposing to circulate a petition that ball playing and gambling on Sunday be put a stop to on these lots.

I have a suggestion for these men. A vacant lot in a crowded city is usually a nuisance, and the larser In size the more objectionable. Vacant lots are In most cases destitute of proper sidewalks, and their owners are universally encouraged by an unlawful undervaluation of assessment for taxation. The lots are increased in valuo by every public Improvement in their vicinity; yet they pay less than half of what thoy ought in taxes. If a petition is to be circulated to stop hall playing on those grounds, let there be drawn, also, a petition to the Board of Assessors, and let all signers alsn both.

Let the assessors bo reminded ot their lawful duly, wnicn tney now neglect, to assess each and every property at Its full and true value, and proceed to place on these unimproved properties and ethers like thorn an asnrssment at the same rate according to value that they have placed on the dwellings and other buildings adjoining thorn. The law la plain, and its enforcement would harm no one. If the assessment can tie raised to I where It lawfully belongs it will do more to abate this nuisance than all the police lations that can possibly be devised, because the owners, of their own accord and for their own interest, will then put the land to better use.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: If the citizens of the borough knew how few ambulances ere In service they would be alarmpd.

I am told that owing to lack of funds nearly nil the hospital ambulances have been withdrawn. This means imperfect service of patrol wagons, grocers' wagons or any conveyance that can be had to convey patients to hospitals. Many will die en route for lacs: of proper attention. If your friends are stricken, unexpectedly and suddenly In the streets of tho city their lives are In danger. How many policemen can care for a sufferer? How many know how to step a hemorrhage? How many know the difference between apoplexy, paralysis or drunk? How many could treat a simple fracture? Very few, and yet that is the service we arc practically under now.

Yesterday was a remarkable day at thj beaches in several respects. Not only werSj the crowds as large as at any time this season, not barring holidays and the hot spelt a fortnight ago, but the people who went' surf bathing broke all records, so numerous were they.

At Manhattan and Brighton, an further along at the Parkway baths, eo greaj were the crowds who wanted to get into tho ocean that many had to stand on line for a hour or more, waiting for other people t4 come out of the water. At Manhattan over 5,700 people bathed during the dny, the larg est crowd tblB year. The same record break lng rush Is reported from Brighton also. The water was of a temperature to be exhilarating and the cool southwest breeze that blew nearly all day made It comfortable for those who did not go into the water. Two three exhausted bathers were taken out ot the water at Manhattan, none of them very, much the worse for their experiences, but nrettv well scared.

A woman on the raft at Manhattan yesterday lost two rings overboard, one a diamond solitaire and the other a small gold ring.

At the West End thousands of people were compelled to wait for bathhouses while earlier and more fortunate patrons were enjoying themselves in the water. The crowds in the evening did not Beem to abate. The double attraction of a vaudeville performance and a free band concert nt Brighton Berved to hold an immense crowd at that hotel. The restaurant war, severely taxed to Keep pace with the business, bo great was Its volume. Trolley cars kept bringing more people up to a late hour and when the crowd decided to go home the railroad company had Its hands full.

At Manhattan Sousa was the great attraction, and his evening concert was listened to by several thousand people. The hotel was as busy as on any day this season. There were many visitors at the Oriental also. The prosperity of this eummer at the nca slde resorts la becoming a matter of much comment.
