A PossaE

A little seYen-year-old Eir1 OF the

n country house IN Wiltshire. England,
last summer, was walking down Mas
sachusetts avenue the other day. She
carried n tiny red whip in her neatly
gioyed little hand A little roly-poly
fox terrier pup waddled along after
the child. The little girl stood at the
street corner to wait for n carriage
to pass and the fox terrier pup caught
up with her. The pup, full OF foolish
affection for the child, reared up on its
weak little hind legs and olawed at
her skirts. She turned upon the pup
with her tiny whip appraised and a
look of infantlne command in her eyes.
"Down, hounds! she exclaimed.
"Down, hounds"
The pup looked at the child visit

inquire, do look like n whole pack
of big 'uns?" and then resumed the
waddllng on in the rear.

For the calendar year the record
disclosed by figures is a remark
able one. The total exports amounted
to 81 ,254, 925, 1863, which represents an
increase of over $l55, 900, 900 as COM
pared with those for 1897 and of over
$3.50, 900, 900 as compared with those
for 1895. The imports were valued
at 1888, 664, 634, which represented
decrease of over $108, 900, 900 as COM
pared with those for 1897, and of over
SAT, 900, 900 as compared with those
for 1896. The value of the exports
for the year was not far from double
that of the imports. The excess for
the year amounted to 1921, 260, 535,
which was greater by 1864, lac, GIL
than that for the preceding year,
while as compared with 1895 it showed
a still greater gain. What the figures
mean in perspective may be gathered
from the statement that the exports
were the largest in the history of the
country, while we have to go back for
a period of thirteen years to find a to-
tai of imports so low as that recorded
for 1898. Not the least noteworthy
feature disclosed by the figures is the
large excess of imports over exports
of gold, which amounted to S141, 81,
29S, whereas in 1897 the imports and
exports of this metal almost balanced,
the exports showing triaing excess,
Taken altogether, the exhibit is The
most striking in the statistical annals
of tue co1ntry's foreign trade.

ATLANTA's NEW DEPOT
Il Nearer = Retaliation. OWNS 20 ActlOs
Of City Council.

81 Aitg COUNCIL
The Atlanta, Ga, city council,
Thursday afternoon, agreed 10 accede
to the conditions named by the rail-
roads as necessary 10 be settled before
any move could be made toward build
ing q new depot.
The city has designated its willing
ness 30 cooperate in the erection Of q
passenger station on the present site,
with elevated tracks and lowered street
crossings. There is still a slight diff
ference between the roads and the
city, however, relative to the clear
ance under the raised tracks at the
central crossings, but this is a mere
detail.
In the resolution passed by the
council it is especially required that
the clearance at Whitehall, Pryor and
Lloyd streets shall be twelve feet. The
railroad companies had calculated on
only an eleven foot clearance at White
hall street, which would give a l per
cent grade for the tracks, and FIVE
foot excavation for the street
The city agrees to the excavation,
but requires another foot Of C. earance.
In order to make the twelve feet un-
der the tracks it will be necessary to
raise the Broad street bridge and to
begin the raised tracks at a point six
ty or 100 feet west of the point il
would have been necessary to start
with an eleven-foot clearance and ]
per cent grade.
The main object for inserting the
twelve-foot clearance clause was to LET
the street cars pass under the tracks,
The property owners along Whitehall
and Pryor streets are said to be heart
lily in favor of allowing the cars to pass
on these thoroughfares. It would be
impossible for an electric car of the
present type to pass through an eleven
foot clearance. 1t can, however, pass
through twelve-foot clearance.
In case the roads agree to build tn,
depot with twelve feet under the track
at the central crossings, the Consoli
dated street railway will in all proba
bility run its cross-town cars under
the tracks at Pryor, Whitehall ant
perhaps Lloyd streets, instead of hay
ing to go three or four blocks out 0
the way over the Broad street bridg
as at present.
The action of the council is consid
cred most favorable for q magnifcen
new station. The city has agreed t.
make certain sacrifices in order to Sc
cure the depot, and the success of tn
venture now rests with the railroads.

WORK OF FlFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS
Enrolling Clerk Plat Shows Humber OF
Bills Passed by Both Houses.

Bills Passed by Both Houses.
B. S. Platt, enrolling clerk of the
senate, has prepared a statement Civ
ing in figures the results of the work
of the last congress.
The statement shows that 1,457
bills and joint resolutions became laws
out of total of 18, 463 introduced in
both houses. OF the measures intro
duced 12,608 were presented in the
house and $3.50 in the senate. Of
those which became laws, 942 originated
in the house and 515 in the senate.
There were only two direct yetoes
during the congress, one Of these APP
plying to senate bill and the other
to a house measure. There were in
addition to these, four bills which
failed to become laws because they
were not approved by the president.
The record shows that the senate
passed l ,173 of its own bills and that
the house acted favorably upon only
SIT, or fewer than half of them, while
the ,0S1 house bills passed by the
house the senate acted fayorably upor
GAG.
A larger number of bills were in

RACE TROUBLES ARKANSAS
SEVEN NEGROES LYNCHED UP TO
LATEST REPORTS.
VERITABLE REIGN OF TERROR.
Assassination OF Well Known Planter
Starts the Bloody Work Mob Hangs
Three In Mississippi.

A special from Texarkana, Ark,
says; ga race war is on in Little Riv
er county, and during the past forty
eight hours an indefinite number of
negroes have met their death at the
hands of an Infatuated white popula-
ton.
Seven are known to have been
lynched, shot to death or slain in some
manner, and the work is not yet done.
The bodies cf the victims of the
mob's vengence arc hanging to the
limbs Of trees in various parts of the
county, strung upwherever overtaken,
while that of another who was shot to
death while trying to escape was
thrown into a creek and left there.
The country is in a state Of the
most intense excitement. White men
are collecting in mobs heavily armed
and determined; negroes are fleeing
for their lives and the community is
in an uproar. The exact number of
negroes who have been summarily
dealt with, or those who may yet fall
into the hands of the mob before order
is restored, may never be known.
Seven bodies have been found dead
and other victims are being hunted
and will meet a similar fate when run
to earth.
The known dead so far are: General
Duckett, Edwin Goodwin, Adam King,
Joseph Jones, Benjamin Jones, Moses
Jones and one unknown.
Joe King and John johnson were
also taken into hand by mobs and
whipped. They were afterwards turn
ed loose and have disappeared.
Little River county is in the ex-
treme southwest corner of the state,
bordered on the west by the Indian
Territory and on the south by Texas.
The negro population is large and
has for a long time proved trouble
some to the whites.
Frequent murders have occurred
and thefts have become common af-
fairs. One or two negroes have pre-
viously been severely dealt with when
the people found it necessary to take
the law into their own hands, but il
was not until last Tuesday that the
trouble took on a very serious aspect
1t then developed that carefully la,d
plans had been made by number Of
negroes to precipitate a race war and
that many white men had been marked
for victims.
1t is learned that twenty-three ne
groes were implicated in this plot an(
tho whites are now bent on melting GU
summary punishment to the entire co
terie of conspirators. Seven hav
been killed and the work of wipinl
out the entire list continues withou
relaxation of determination. All i'm
plicated in the plot are known an(
small parties of white men varying il
number from twenty-five to fifty ar
securing the country for them.
