The statement consists of tables
showing the population and commerce

that commerce for a series of years,

The fact that the countries in easy

Some of the Humorous Phases of the

Some of the Humorous Phases of the
Present War.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Grim visaged war has it's humorous
as well as it's terrible side, and Capt.
Gen. Blanco is not the only humorist in
the present conflict The cablegram to
Madrid from that redoubtable command
er about the mule that was killed at
MatanZas set two continents a-laughing
and thousands of rhymers to writing
verses. And it is a dull day when he
does not, in dispatch to the Spanish
government, destroy several American
men Of-War.
But as a ilumorist the captain at Ma
Mia who requested a cessation Of hos
tilities while he went ashore for more
ammunition Is entitled to the cake.
The Petrol, of Dewey's fleet, chased a
gunboat up the Pasig river. Seeing he
was cornered, the captain of the Span
ish gunboat went to the Petrol in a
small boat under a flag of truce to
make terms. The American captain
told him he must surrender or fight.
I'VE are willing to fight" replied the
Spaniards. please allow us to send
for ammunition, because our store is
exhausted
There was decidedly no humor, how
ever, In the misuse Of the flag of truce
by the Spanish Capt Sasta at the Ca
vite arsenal. He hoisted a white flag
when he was sore pressed, and when
the Americans, believing he had sur
rendered, came to take possession they
found the Spanish still under arms.
The withdrawal of the trt2ps with their
arms pending negotiations for surren-
der was an instance of treachery and
bad faith.
The GOODNESS with which Commodore
Dewey interrupted the battle for
breakfast Is decidedly humorous. The
crews of the warships were shut up
below decks. with hot boilers within
and tropical sun without, and the
intense heat would possibly have done
more damage than the Spanish guns.
So breakfast time came most oppor-
timely. But 1t is not likely that
great battle was ever deliberately in
terrupted before upon the sound of the
breakfast bell.
An accident took place at the battle

Special to The St. Paul Globe
WASHINGTON, May 29.-Two news
items OF unusual interest have attract
ed only passing interest in the war ex-
cltelnent, yet they are of Importance
as showing the commanding position
the United States has attained in the
matter of building modern engines Of
naval warfare.
only sixteen years ago the keel Of
the first steel warship built in the
United States was laid, and it was
four years later before an attempt was
made to build an armored ship in this
country. Today, America is building
war ships for Japan, Russia and other
nations; the head of the institution
which constructed the Or gon has been
ca'lS d to st. Petersburg to consult with
the officers of the car, and now it is
reported that the Camps have ben
invited by Russia to construct a plant
at Port Arthur. 1t is not impr obable
that when the contest comes for pos
sessions in the Orient, Russia will de-
pend largely upon American material
and American brains for supremacy.
With regard to the Port Arthur ru-
Nor, dire ctor of the Cramp company
who is in this city, when asked about
the subject admitted that the matter
had been discussed, but what sta us the
negotiations have assumed he was I'M
willing to say.
Charles H. Cramp, it wi be recall d

weeks ago, a. d retu, ne with cont acts

From what could be LEARNED the sub
Ject is in crude state, but it is report
ed that the negotiations have assumed
stage that leads TO the bei.f that
the plan will be adopted. The idea is
to have the Cramps fit out complies
works to be operated by the Russian
government urder temporary supervi-
sion of engineers frcm TITS country.
The Russian battleship which the
Cramps are to build is to be of 1880
tons displacement, or larger than any
ever built in this country; the armorad
cruiser is to be of 6 600 TONS The for
MGR vessel is to steam an average of
eighteen knots, which is two knots
ahead Of any contract requirement for
American first-class battleships: the
armored cruiser is 10 have a regular
sea speed of twenty-three krots, which
is far ahead of that achieved, even I'M
der favorable trial conditions. by the
New York and Brooklyn.
The battleship's main battery is not
remarkable, having four twelve-inch
and four rapid fire six-inch guns In
bunker capacity it will far surpass
American battleships, since it is to be
able to go from ST. Petersburg to Port
Arthur without recoaling. The battle
ship is to be built in thirty months and
the armored cruiser in twenty.
The rapidity with which English
ships are completed has long excited
comment here, and now the United
States will see a gain in that respect
In its own shipbuilding. What an
American yard can do for foreign YES
sells it can also do for those ordered
by its own government.

3ol HENNEPIN A


Of Mobile bay when a breakfast was
kept waiting for the close of hostili-
ties. Rear Admiral James E. Jouett,
Of Montgomery county, Maryland, then
a lieutenant commander, was in COM
nland of a vessel. A lieutenant named
Murphy, who had resigned from the
United States navy, had command Of
one of the small Confederate boats in
the bay. Jouett and Murphy had been
warm friends before the war at the
Naval academy. So Jouett had de-
lightful breakfast prepared and then
set himself to capture Murphy's boat.
This he succeeded in doing after some
delay, and Murphy came aboard with
his arm In a sling to surrender his
sword in the most formal manner. In
stead Of taking the sword Jouett re-
preached Murphy for keeping break
fast waiting. Upon seeing the feast
Murphy who was very hungry, said:
"Jouett, if you had only sent me word
about this breakfast I would have sur
rendered an hour ago."

How wallace saved the Day.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The fate of the battle hung in the balance.
The commanders of the invading corps looked
anxious. The obstinate Spaniards refused to
be dislodged.
At that moment Gen. Lew. Wallace spurred
to the front and saluted.
Has the time come, general?" he hoarsely
shouted, for the dernier resort?''
The commander hesitated. Then he shud-
dered, and nodded assent and turned away.
Ten minutes later the Wallace Annihiators,
400 strong, swept on to the field.
The Spanish gunners looked in amazement
at this intrepid band. So might the Russian
gunners at Balkalava have looked at the
Light Brigade.
The Annihilators halted and coolly dressed
their lines.
"One-two-three-al together
And then as one man those 400 elocutionists
began to briskly recite the Chariot Race"
from 'sBen Her.
The Spaniards never stopped running until
they reached the extreme end OF the, island,
and then most of them plunged in and struck
out Justify for Porto Rico.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
House Not Likely to Take 1t Up This
Week.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The house
adjourned to Tuesday because of Me-
mortal Day.
The consideration Of the Hawaiian
annexation resolutions by the house
this week is possible, but not assured.
Speaker Reed stands ready to give the
resolutions full right of way in the
house if they pass the senate but is
opposed to sending them first through
the house and forcing them upon the
senate because, he contends, it would
precipitate a fight there that would
prolong Indefinitely the session, and
end, most likely, in the whole matter
finally going over to next winter. Espe-
cially is he opposed to forcing the Ha-
waiian issue to the front until the rev.
enue bill is through the senate.
1t is stated upon high authority that
the other Republican members of the
committee on rules are in accord with
the speakers position, notwithstanding
they favor, as he does not, annexation
of Hawaii. Accordingly considera-
ton of the resolutions early in the week
is not to be expected, and considering
late in the week is improbable. There
is still talk of a Republican caucus to
consider the question, and one may be
held.
The general deficiency bill may be
reported during the week, but, owing
to the development of new demands
upon the war and navy departments,
notably the former, incident to the war,
the bill may be withheld until nearer
the close of the session. The bill, so
far as it relates to ordinary deficien-
cies, has been ready six weeks.
Conference reports upon the sundry
civil, postotfice, Indian and District Of
Columbia appropriations bills may be
expected at most any day, though the
sundry civil bill is likely to be delayed
until after the revenue bill passes the
senate, owing to the demands there
upon by Senator Allison, of the finance
committee.
An effort to pass the anti-scalping
bill will be made during the week Bills
of minor Importance will be pushed
meantime by members generally

Measure May Be Reached Within
a. Week.

WASHINGTON, May 29-Having de-
cded at the last moment, Saturday, to
observe Memorial day, the senate Will
net be in session again until Tuesday.
The finance committee will, however,
meet on Monday in an endeavor to
perfect the revenue bill in minor de-
tails.
There is still no certainty as to when
the vote may be taken on the revenue
bill. 1t looks as if the entire week
would be spent upon it, and none Of
the members of the committee under
takes TO predict the exact date of the
Seaate's conclusion of its work. There
are still a number of speeches to be
made on the bill and upon amendms nts.
1t is probable that there will be more
CT less debate upon the Lodge amend
ment for the annexation of Hawaii and
the Morgan amendment, relating gen.
orally to the government of the annex
ed territory. Both Senators Lodge and
Morgan announce their intention TO
make Sp1 e. h S on the subjects involved,
and senator's ospous ng the opposite
view declare their purpose to reply IL
the subject is opened. Republicans
generally predict that Senator Lodge
will refrain from pressing his amend
ment, and it is the general opinion
that he will at least not go to the eX-
tent of asking a vote upon it, and thus
subjecting the measure to motion to
lay upon the table.
Whenever the final vote is reached on
the revenue bill, there is no longer
much doubt as to the shape in which
it will be passed by the senate. The
decisive vote of Saturday on the cor
poration tax amendment renders it
quite certain that all the Democratic
amendments will be eliminated from
the bill. and that the Republican sug-
gestion for the issuance Of $500, 900
in bonds and 500, 900 in time GER
tificates, will be substituted for the
house bond and certificate provision.
The general impression about the
senate is that the house will accept
the majority of the senate amendments,
and that consequently the bill will not
be long in conference.
, With the revenue bill disposed of
there may be an effort to secure an in
dependent expression on Hawaiian an
ncXation, but this will depend upon flu
ture developments. The conference re-
ports on appropriation bills will also
be in order. There will be several of
these, the sundry civil being the most
important.

The man with the mail-God bless himi-
Comes in all sorts of weather:
Letters and papers, books and cards,
All in his bag together
He will come and go in the rain and snow,
On his beat you will ever find him,
Leaving his missives of veal and woe
In the varied homes behind him.
Tender epistles Of youthful love,
Uttered in softest breath,
And tear-stafned tales of the passing away
OF the loving and loved in death;
Letters Of friendship from far away,
And greetings from neighbors near;
Some that beguile the hour with a SMILE
And some that educe a tear.
Sad, sad news. and glad, glad news,
In the sunshine and the snow,
The faithful mailman brings to me-
And yet he does not know;

To nobler, truer part
Or tender woman may read and give

Var Talk Results In General Contrac-

The war talk is having a serious ef-
feet upon general business conditions. 1t
is causing an indisposition to enter into
new contracts and branch out into fresh
enterprises, and tendency to curtail
enterprises already entered into. Bust
ness men are disposed, pending definite
knowledge as to future political condi-

An example of the situation was af-
forded by the following trade report of
