Barney Barnato'S Body.
The Kaffir Kings Remains Ar
rive i'm His Native Land.

SOUTHAMPTON, June 1S.-On the
arrival of the British steamship Scot
today with the body of the late Barney
Barnato. the coroner's officers went
aboard to ascertain as to the neces-
sity Of holding an inquest. The in
quest was held and the jury returned
a verdict of death from drowning
while temporarily insane The ar
rival of the steamship confirms the de-
tails already cabled of the circum-
stances under which Barney Barnato
met his death. He was feeling very
poorly when the vessel left Cape Town
and often talked quite irrationally.
The passengers subscribed a hundred
pounds as reward for Mr.. Clifford,
the officer who tried to rescue him.
Sol. Joel, Barnato's nephew, says:
my uncle showed no sign Of suicidal
tendency until that fatal day I de-
c!ded at o'clock in the morning not
to leave him for a moment The
Daily Mail asserts that Sir Gordon
Sprigg, premier of Cape Colony, who
was passenger by the steamship
Scot, says that when Mr.. Barnato first
came into the saloon for his meals he
was quiet and social, but his moods
varied to such an extent that ultimate

Spalding Not Guilty.
Jury Unable to Satisfy Itsel
as to Criminal Intent.

CHICAGO, June 1S.-Charles w.
Globe Savings bank, and ex-treasurer
of the state university, was today ac-
quilted of the charge of embezzlement
The verdict was a general surprise, as
the instructions of the court to the
jury left scarcely any chance for an
acquittal. The first words uttered by
Spalding after the verdict had been
read in court were: We'll, this is a
surprise" The specific charge against
him was the converting of $1,000 worth
Of the bonds of Pittsfield school dis
trict, Pike county, Illinois. These bonds
were hypothecated with the Metropol-
itan banks to secure a loan Of $6,750.
Spalding owes his acquittal to a sin
gle word in the statute, that word be-
ing intent The jurors could not be-
come reconciled to the proposition that
the eX-treasurer Of the University of
Illinois Intentionally embezzled the
funds. Six ballots were taken by the
jury, the first and second being four
for conviction and eight for acquittal.
Three voted for conviction on the third
ballot, two on the fourth and fifth, and
all for acquittal on the sixth. After
bein taken back to Jail Spalding
said: Il must admit that it did sur
prise me some at first. After all, the
jury took the view of it urged by my
counsel, and as the prosecution showed
no criminal intent, the jury was bound
to acQuit me-" There are still twenty
seven indictments hanging over him,
and he will be tried again.

noon, as he put his name down on the
petition asking the judges of the dis
trict court to name a commission of
fifteen freeholders TO frame a new
charter for the city Of ST. Paul.
Mr. Hawthorne, like scores of other
citizens, thinks the council has been
delaying the matter longer than is nee
essary, and is now anxious to see the
other course, which is open, pursued for
starting the commission. So far as
pushing it along is concerned, the peo =
pie are doing that. Voters are signing
the petition wherever they have an
opportunity for doing so. They figure
that no harm can come Of it, and a
great deal of good may result. If a
commission is appointed and charter
framed, the city need not accept it un-

Cuban Trade Wiped Out by War.
Decrease of Over Fifty Per Cent.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-A signifi-
cant report on trade with Cuba from
1887 to 1897, prepared by Chief Hitch
cock, Of the foreign markets section Ct
the agricultural department, has been
promulgated by Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wilson. The statistics show very
clearly the effect of hostilities in CRba
upon the commercial intercourse Of the
United States and that island. During
the fiscal year 1896 the total value Of
our Cuban trade amounted to only S47,-
54S,610 as compared with $102, 1864, ,204 in
1893, the year preceding the breaking
out Of the war. This was a falling Off
of more than SO per cent in three years.
Returns already available for the cur
rent fiscal year indicate still further
decline, the records for the nine months
ending March 81, 1897, placing the to-
tai value Of the trade for that period
as low as $14,926,S17 At this rate the
figures for the fiscal year 1897 will
hardly reach $20,000,000, or less than
one-fifth the value recorded for 1893.
During the early years Of the present
decade our Cuban trade had received
a material impetus, the years 1887 to
1893, inclusive, showing uninterrupted
gains, and, but for the opening Of the
war, a still greater expansion, 1t is pre-
dicted, probably would have followed.
AS it is, however, commercial inter-
change between the United States and
Cuba has been very largely abridged.
Continuing, the report says:
Our imports from Cuba have gen.
orally been much in excess Of our eX-
ports to that island, the balance of
trade being decidedly against the Unit
ed States. During the ten years, 1887
| 1885, the value of the merchandise i'm
ported averaged $59, ,16S, ,656 per annum,
| and that of the merchandise exported
| only $14,017 ,572 per annum. In 1896 the
imports fell to $40,017, $780, exports to
! 81 $50 $50. The remarkable decline in
our trade with Cuba from July 1, 1896,
| to March 81 1897, occurred chiefly in
| the case of the imports, the total value
| of the merchandise imported during the
| nine months amounting to only $751;
| S31, or little more than the value of the
exports for the same period, the latter
! being returned at $6,0S4 986. OF the
merchandise imported into the United
! States from Cuba fully 80 per cent Is
agricultural. Sugar, the most impor-
tant of the products imported from
! Cuba amounted in value to more than
| rs per cent Of the entire imports for
| the decade
The report contains numerous tables
showing in detail the extent to which
the importations of all kinds have
steadily declined since the outbreak of

the view that the South wanted any

the home of chivalry and honor, and

they had set the example by giving to
the country in 1894 a disreputable pro

Mr.. Stewart made a general argu-
ment In support of the policy of
duty on raw material. He asserted
that any other course was contrary to
the last Democratic platform. Mr.
Stewart said the money question was
the real question. Mr.. Jones (Ark.)

goods, and relieve the burdens on the

value more than half Of the non-agri-
cultural imports for the decade. The
returns for them last year were $2,07S,2 5
against $3,967, ,955 in 1890. AS to exports
from this country to Cuba, the relative
Importance of the agricultural articles
has increased during the last few years
The shipment of lard to Cuba during
the ten years aggregated $25,O00,O00 In
value forming nearly one-half Of the
total agricultural exports. For the
last fiscal year there was an extra
ordinary fall in this class Of exports,
amounting to only $1,551, ,185. Bacon
and hams attained their highest figure
in 1898, since which they have steadily
declined. Breadstuffs steadily decreas-
ed in the last three years, last years
total shipments being only $774,792, or
a little more than fifth of the value
returned for 1893. Wheat flour and
Indian corn suffered a marked decline,
as did other articles Of food.

the splendor Of oriental costumes worn
by the Eastern potentates made a
brilliant scene. The guest snumbered
hundreds, and represented every
branch of national and colonial life
Among those present were the MARQUIS

they would receive the familiar toast
with more acclamation even than
was usually the case. This was fol-
lowed by prolonged cheering, waving
of handkerchiefS and cries Of God

for another cheer, which was given,
followed by another, and that by a
third.

left Of the prince. The latter showed
his keen interest by waiting to the
end Of the speech making, which was
close upon midnight. In responding
to the toast Colonial Premiers'' Mr..

Canada is nation. Canada is free;
and freedom is it's nationality. Though
Canada acknowledges the suZerainty
or the sovereign l am here to say that
independence would give the Canadians
no more rights than they already have.
If England should ever be in danger.
her colonies would do their utmost to
help her. l have often been asked
whether the French Canadians are alb
solutely loyal and I have been remind
ed that old feuds die hard. But to that
l may reply that 1t is the proud privi-
lege Of the present generation to re-
call the spectacle of the banners Of
France and England VIGOROUSLY en-
twined in the Crimea. His royal high
ness (the Prince of Wales) has just
reminded US Of his early visit to Can
ada and has observed that many
changes have taken place since then.
But I can assure his royal highness
that there has been no change in the
loyalty Of the French Canadians or
Of the people of Canada to Great
Britain and to the British crown"
