EIGHT HUNDRED MILLION


Washington, June l3.-The farmers Of
the country are drawing upon other parts
of the world for more money in the fiscal
year which ends with this month than in
any preceding year in the history of the
country. Even the high water mark Of
1872, when our exports of agricultural
products amounted to $790,32S .232. will
be surpassed by the record of the wear
which closes with this month The pre-.
liminary reports of May expectations
which have reached the bureau of sta.
tistics make it quite apparent that the
agricultural exports of the year will b.
considerably in excess of $500 600 900, the
total for the year being likely to reach
1895 ,OOO,OOO. Never before have the ex,
ports of agricultural products reached the
$500 100000 line and never but twice
have they been as much as S70O,0OO,0OO
the two occasions being in 1881 and 1892
Compared with the last fiscal year the
increase in exports of agricultural pro-
ducts will be fully $l50,OOO. 900, and com.
pared with the preceding year the in
crease will be over $25O,0OO,OOO, while
the total will be fully 80 per cent in ex-
cess of that of the fiscal year Of 1895.

lnIke tne herman Emperor, queen
Victoria does not have fresh scrap
book filled with newspaper clippings
to read every morning over her coffee.
The newspapers are, however, read for
her benefit, and she has means of know
ing whenever anything unpleasant is
said about any member Of the royal
family. This Is the one subject on
which she Is sensitive. She never has
cause to resent anything that is said
about herself. She commands the re-
spect. affection and loyal devotion of all
her subjects. Nothing unkind or disre
spectful Is ever seen In print about the
Queen. Sometimes a critical remark
Is hazarded in Parliament about u royal
duke connected with the army. The
Queen at once hears of it and calls the
attention Of the prime minister to it.
asking him to ascertain on what author
ity the statement has been made. The
prime minister forwards the letter to
the war Office. The Secretary for War
sends n letter to the offending member
of Parliament, asking for information
for the benefit Of the sovereign. The
member is called to account. and makes
such explanation as he considers neces-
sary. His letter goes from the war Of
flee to the prime minister and the Queen
receives in due time what Is virtually
an expression Of regret for an indis-
Greet comment upon the conduct Of a
member Of her family. No public man
likes to be called to account in this way.
He may know that no action will be
taken upon his explanation, and that he
| will never hear of the matter again; but
he finds himself in an unpleasant posi-
ton, and is not likely to repeat his in
discretion. His wife and daughter are
also personally interested. for their
names may be dropped from the lists OF
guests for court functions. 1t Is n gen.
tie. restraining influence which Is ex.
erted by the Queen upon Parliamentary
debate and public discussion. but 1t Is
none the less real and effective. 1t pro.
tects the court and members Of the
royal family from thOughtless and ca
PRECIOUS criticism. and to this extent up
holds the dignity Of the monarchy. The
Queen, being a wise ruler. does not in
terfere openly with the privilege Of free
speech. which is the Briton's birthright
She does not expose critics Of the royal
house to veXatious annoyance, but in a
quiet way reminds them that she and
her family are entitled to consideration
and respect. and ought not to be spoken
Of lightly and uncharitably. The Tu.
doris. Stuarts and Georges had more ar.
bitrary methods Of enforcing respect
for the crown. They imprisoned or ex
posed to prosecution those whose 10y.
atty was suspected. sometimes cutting
of their heads or taking away their ii.
ties or estates, or heavily filming them

KEY WEST, Florida. June 1, 1885,
The American squadron augmented
by the Porter and New Orleans ap-
preached the harhor of Santiago at
1890 yesterday, the Iowa leading.
Inside the entrance was seen Span
ish warship. AS the American fleet
drew near the New Orleans was de-
tached and steamed forward ahead of
the Iowa, Texas and Massachusetts.
One of the forts opened fire on her
and she replied. The other ships di-
rected their fire at the battery of
Punta Gorda, within the harbor and
westward of the position occupied by
the Spanish warship. The latter re-
piled fiercely and Immediately be.
came the target for all the American
ships engaged She retired behind
the protecting headland and was not
again seen during the battle.
The fleet now resumed the bonn
bardment of Socopa, Punta Gordo
and Moro and kept up terrific fire
for two hours. doing tremendous
damage to the defenses OF the har-
Dor. The masonry of MORO and So
copa was battered almost into dust,
and artiller! men could be plainly
seen flying to the bills for safety
The Spanish warships from be-
hind the projecting headlands con-
tinued to fire projectiles without
range or direction.
The New Orleans is believed to be
seriously damaged.
The Spanish loss of life must have
been enormous, as time and again
the American proiectiles hit the forts
squarely and amid the flying masonry
the forms Of men were seen. The
damage to the American fleet cannot
be learned. 1t is thought no Ameri-
cans we're killed.
