few feet of the camps.
When Camp Alger was first located ana
the District Regiment erected their tents
IL was noticed that the ground was traV-
ersed by several small streams from
which many of the soldiers were compe!i-
ed to drink until other water supply was
procured.
The main stream running through the
manor grounds was within few yards
of the tents of the District Regiment
For several days this afforded the only
drinking water for the soldiers while on
ly a few yards further away was stili
smaller branch on the banks OF which
were located the camp sinks 1t was
here that the pollution commenced. The
excreta drained through the soil and pol
luted these streams what were used by
other soldiers arriving in the camp.
A physician speaking on the subject
stated to a Times representative that the
typhoid epidemic could only have been
prevented by the removal of the patients
for many miles away. So long as the
patients remained in the vicinity the
earth and water would be daily polluted
and the spread of the disease would fol-

VICTORIES FOR AMERICAN PRO
DUCERs.

Chicago Times-Herald:
The record OF exports for the first nine
months Of the year furnishes striking
proof Of our growing aseendency in the
markets Of the world Along with our
CONQUEST Of new territory. as an incl
dent in the liberation Of an oppressed
people. has come a commercial conquest
that promises to make our products su-
preme in markets that have been con-
trolled for centuries by European ma
tons
While we were winning the victories
al Santiago and Manila the products Of
American farms and factories were in
vading Europe, Asia and Africa and win
ming the victories that have always
crowned American skill and workman
ship wherever foreign embargoes have
not erected barriers against them. Ac-
cordlng to the bureau Of statistics the
exports for September indicate that the
year 1898 will show the largest export
record in the history Of the government
For the nine months ending September
% the exports were ss6s.l5,sss. against
.242 for the corresponding period
in 1897. and the imports fell from s5ss IA
Ss in 1897 to s75,l72.777 in 1895. The ex-
ports for September were s9O,4S5,s5S. while
the average September export for the
last sixteen years has been t68,OOO.OOO
The most significant feature OF the ex-
port record was the heavy sale Of bread
stuffs. which were 30 per cent greater
than in 1896 and double those Of 1895. TO
measure the full meaning Of this great
increase in foreign sales it is necessary
TO note the remarkable decline in ex-
ports. We are selling more goods TO
Europe and Asia than ever before, and
are buying less from them. Inc imports
for the first nine months of 1898 are more
than slOO.OOOOOO below the average for
the corresponding periods during the last
decade.
II must be borne in mind that the bulk
OF this trade was carried in foreign bot
toms. In spite of the fact that our man
ufacturers and exporters were compelled
to ship their goods in British bottoms to
countries where we enter into direct
competition with British producers. our
sales show steady increase and have
now reached such figure that Euro
peans are alarmed at the prospect of our
becoming the great trading nation of the
globe.
When we have adjusted the territorial
of the war and congress has
aiken measures for the development of
IN American merchant marine we may
confidently look forward to the day when
american commerce will be dominant
