THE OBSTRUCTIONISTS.
They Arc Doing Their Best to Pre-
 vent a Vote in inc Senate.

Washington, July 1.-Realizing the utter hopelessness of a contest Tn which a large majority of the senate IS ranged against a scattering and lead erless minority, the opponents of an nexation are still clinging to the hope of forcing the senate by fair means or foul to agree to proposition to post pone the vote on the Newlands resolu- tion to a fixed day in December or January next That proposition, which has been talked about beneath their breath by annexation opponents on both sides of the chamber for some time, was today submitted by those Ill charge of the present debate and promptly and forcibly rejected The democratic obstructionists have now seized upon it as saving straw ana are industriously at work endeavorlng to secure pledges to its support Thls is the favorite plan of Jones and White and Pettigrew now, but they have not vel reached a point where even they are willing to say that it will succeed Those in charge of the Newlands reso- lutions say that no proposition can be successful now except of taking vote after legitimate speech making is end ed. The lack of cohesiveness and ap- parent demoralization of the opposi- tion led some of the more enthusiastic Advocates of annexation to predict to- day that by the middle of next week a vote will be taken and the house res olutions adopted by large majority. There is no reason to believe, however. that conditions in the senate are such that final vote cannot be reached un- til after the Fourth of July.

900, ,000 in round numbers. Our totM exports to all Asia last year amounted to about $45, 1000, being a gain of 10 per cent over the preceding year, more than double what they were in l83o, four times what they were in 1880, and more than ten times what they were in 1870. Of this total of $45,000, ,0o0 about one-third goes to China Gin part by way of Hong Kong), one-third to Japan, and the bulk of the remaining third to India and the East Indies.
 In this calculation of distribution it Is assumed that the bulk of the im- ports into Hong Kong. which are al- ways heavy, are for China, the States mans Year Book saying of the busi- ness of that port, that it is virtually a part of the commerce of China"

INCREASE OF COMMERCE.
Larger Quantities of AmericaR Goods
 Going 10 Asia.

Washington, July 1.-The rapid growth of our commerce with China, subject just now attracting especial attention, is shown somewhat in detail by series of tables in the latest num- Der of the Summary of Finance and Commerce issued by the bureau of sta tistics. These tables show that our exports to China in the year just end ing will be about four times as much as in the fiscal year 1890 and more than three times as much as in 1895.
 The exports from the United States to China in 1895 were $3,603, $40 and in the fiscal year which ended with last month promise to be in round num- bers $11, 100000. But for the fact that there has been a reduction during the past year in the values of many ar ticles exported the figures for the past year would be considerably greater than the sum named. The exports of mineral oils, for instance. increased last year more than 100000 gallons over the previous year, but by reason of the decrease in price, the total cash value falls considerably below that of the former year.
 In nearly all of the articles exported from this country to China there has been an increase in quantity in the fiscal year 1898 compared with 1897 or any preceding year. In bicycles, for instance, the exports to China for ten months of the past fiscal year amount ot $24,606 against S11, 444 in the cores bonding months of the preceding year. In telegraph, telephone and other in struments of this class the exports of the ten months are s22,374 against s. $40 in the same time in 1897. Car riages and cars increased from $1 632 in the first ten months of the fiscal year of 1897 to S2S,6 ,603 in the cores bonding months of last year; fruits and nuts from S13,004 the preceding year to S2S,591 last year; canned beef, from 90,9S4 pounds in ten months ot 1897 to 156,71S pounds in the same time of the fiscal year of 1898; bacon from 1S,002 pounds to 30.975 pounds; hams from 46,033 pounds to 5S,S59 pounds; butter from 16,311 pounds to 20,0S5 pounds, and other articles in like proportion. In cotton cloth there is reduction of about 12 per cent com pared with the former year, though the total number of yards last year will be nearly double that of 1896 and more than three times as much as in 1895.
 Our sales to China last year will show an increase of more than 800 per cent over those of 1889, while our i'm ports from that country show an in- crease of but 5 per cent in the same time. Our exports of merchandise to China in the last fiscal year are ten fold those of the fiscal year 1880, the total for that year being s1,1O1,3S3 while that of 1898 is likely to be $11,

THE COLUMBIA COLLISION.
Technically to Blame, But From aI
 Official Standpoint Blameless

Washington, July 1.-Secre.ary Long has approved the claim, s21S.- SS9.3S in amount, presented by the owners of the British steamship Eos colia and will recommend the apprOp- riation of that amount to be utilized in the event of decree in favor of the claim by the United States district court of the southern district of Kew York The U. S. s. Columbia on the night of May 2S collided with the British merchant steamer Foscol1a twelve miles southerly and easterly from Fire island light ship. Secretary Long in his indorsement of the find ings of the court of inquiry says: Up on careful consideration of the facts reported by the naval court of inquiry the department is satisfied that there is at least reasonable ground for, the contention advanced by the owners of the Foscolia that the collision migni have been avoided had the Columbia shown the lights and given the fog sig nals. A collision with one of our warships having occurred under such circumstances, when for public req sons deemed sufficient to justify such action, our vessel was disregarding the rults of the road at sea-
 The report of the court of inquiry is as follows:
 The court is of the opinion that when the two vessels sighted each other the distance between them was so small and their relative positions were such that a collision was unavoid- able If the lights of the Columbia had been displayed it is impossible to

EIGHT LARGE TRANSPORTS.
A Recent Important Purchase by the War Department.

Washington, July 1.-The war de- partment has purchased eight large merchant ships for transport and freight purposes. Seven of them be- I long to the Atlantic transport line and cost approximately s4,OOO,OOO. They are the Massachusetts, Manitoba, Mo hawk, Mobile. Minnewasha. Michigan and Mississippi. Owing to their large capacity for carrying passengers and supplies, they constitute a formidable addition to the fleet of forty-one sh ps already under charter by the govern ment for transport uses on the At lantic coast. This acquisition is pre- sumed to be a decidedly forward sten in the arrangements for the Porto Rican expedition. Added to the dozen ships already available for this expe- dition, the eight vessels make up a
 fleet that will transport an army full two-thirds and probably as large as that which General Shafter took with him.
 The other vessel purchased was the Obdam of the Netherlands American Steam Navigation company. She is used for passenger and freight busi- ness, is 3,656 tons burden and is built of steel. The vessel has capacity for 1000 passengers, and can carry regi- ment of troops, together with their equipments and supplies.
 Heretofore the practice of the war department has been to charter all the vessels which it has used, and the announcement today of the acquisi- tion of the ships by purchase is dis tinctly a new departure in the policy of the government, due, it is believed, to the fact that the owners and agents of the various companies heretofore have asked such high prices. It was authoritatively stated today that im- pressment of ships on the Atlantic coast would not be resorted to, but such as were desired would be ob- tained in some other way.

state positively whether they would have been visible to the 1oOkouts of the Foscolia before the Columbia's hull was in sight, but the court is of the opinion that the hull would have been first discovered. The opinion of the court is, therefore, that the absence of the Columbia's lights is not an ele- ment in the causes which produced the collision. Notwithstanding that the fog whistle of the Foscolia was not heard on board the Columbia, the court is of the opinion that the Colum heard on board the Foscolia had it been sounded. The court cannot, how ever, express positive opinion on the subject, owing to we'll known instances of sound being diverted under certain atmospheric conditions. The court having taken into consideration the instructions in the case of the loss or grounding of a ship of the navy, as di- rected by the precept, did not consider it necessary to call all the officers and crew before it ,hecause of the fact that there had bee1 - loss or grounding of a naval vessel. Captain James H. Sands of the Columbia had received positive orders from his superior otti- cer in command of the northern patrol fleet to cruise without lights. The ob- ject of this order was to conceal the presence of his ship from vessels of a nation with which the United States is at war. (See article 445 of the United States naval regulations). Captain Sands directed the fog signals to be suspended for the same purpose. The court is of the opinion that he was justified in so doing. The court is of the opinion that the collision between the Columbia and the Foscolia was. under the circumstances of war, in no ! respect due to the fault or negligence of any of the officers or members of the crew if the U. s. s. Columbia, and. therefore, it is of the opinion that no further proceedings should be had in the matter

The purpose is doubtless first, to prevent endorsements com ing into Santiago from Manzanillo on the west, and second, to prevent a re- treat in that direction of the Spanish garrison of the town.
