A BANNER YEAR.
United States Exports the Largest Ever
Recorded.


Washington. April 23-The fiscal
year Of 1898 was the banner year of the
foreign trade of the United States, our
exports being the largest ever record
ed for a like period and our imports
exceptionally small
According to a comprehensive report
just prepared by Frank II. Hitchcock,
chief of the section of foreign mar
kets of the agricultural department, the
total value of our domestic exports
reached the enormous sum of S1,21O-
~ ,9l3, exceeding the record breaking
figures of the preceding year by SITS
2S4,31O. On the other hand. the i'm
ports during 1898 were the smallest
since 1885. their value being $616049
6o4, decline of 14S,6S5,56S, of the fig
ures of 1897.
Broadly stated, for every dollars
worth of foreign merchandise brought
into the United States 50 worth of our
products found market abroad.
Our domestic exports as compared
with our imports showed an excess of
S594,242,25S, or more than twice the ex-
cess for 1897 which was the largest
previously reported.
An interesting fact developed by the
report of Mr.. Hitchcock is in the in
crease in the exports of agricultural
products being 1898 per cent. Of the
total or sS5S,507,942 a gain of nearly IS
per cent. over 1897. Exports of this
class also show a greater gain proper
tlonately than agricultural ex-
ports.
Our purchases of foreign agricul
tural products in 1898 amounted to only
1914, 29l 1856, as compared with $40O, S71,-
46S in 1897, a decrease Of $S6,579,672, or
about % per cent.
The value of the American farm
products sent abroad during 1898 was
much more than double that of our
agricultural imports, the excess of the
former over the latter amounting to
s544 ,2l6,146 In 1897 the excess on the
side of agricultural exports was only
$2SS.SS3, 725, and in the years immedi-
ately preceding, still smaller.

MISSED AN OPPORTUNITY.
Even Intelligent Negroes Are Blinded by
Race Prejudice.

race Prejudlce.
Atlanta, Ca, n. April Ex-Governor
Gambler tonight gave the associated
press the following statement on the
burning of Sam Hos;
The whole thing is deplorable and
Hoses crime, the horrid details of
which have not been published as
too horrible for publication, is the most
diabolical in the annals of crime. The
negroes of that community lost the
best opportunity they will ever have
to elevate themselves IN the estima-
ton of their white neighbors. The dia-
bolical nature of the double crime
was well known to every one
of them; they knew the perpe?
traitor and they owed it to their
race to exhaust every means of bring
ing Hose to justice. This course would
have done more to elevate them in the
estimation of good people and to pro-
tect their race against the mob than
all the remarks and proclamations of
the governors of the next SO years, but
they lost the opportunity, and it is
deplorable fact that while scores of in
telllgent negroes, leaders of their race,
nave talked to me about the Palmetto
lynchlng. not one of them has ever in
the remotest way alluded to either the
burning OF Palmetto. which provoked
the lynching, nor to the diabolical
crime of Hose. do not believe these
men sympsthized with Hose or the Pal
metto incendiaries. but they are
blinded by race prejudice and cannot
see but one side of the question.
Il want to protect them in every le-
gal right and against mob violence and
l stand ready to employ every resource
OF the state in doing SO, but they must
realize that in order to merit and re-
ce1Ve the protection of the community
they must show a willingness to lead
in protecting the community against
the lawless element of their race. To
secure protection against lawless whites
they must show a Willingness to pro-
tect the white people against the law
less blacks"

ANOTHER VICTIM.
The Negro Preacher Taken to the Woods
to Be Tried


Palmetto Ga.,si April 23.-Elijah
Strickland, the negro preacher, was
captured by mob of people from this
city three miles out of town tonight.
He was brought to Palmetto and at
midnight was placed on trial for his life
by court composed of those who had
arrested him.
Speeches for and against his charac-
ter were made. The trial took place in
an open square in the center of the
city. There was no judge or jury, the
people acting in those capacities. Many
witnesses were heard and several
speeches were made.
At l o'clock no decision had been ar
rived at, but it was decided to adjourn
the court to the woods, one mile out of
town. The sober element is making an
effort to save the negro. A number of
strangers are here from Atlanta and
other towns and they are trying to force
lynching. Strickland denied COM
plicity in the crime. He is 60 years old.

BUFFETED BY. THE SEA
Fourteen Men From the General Whit

Vessel Foundered-At The
Mercy of Giant Waves.

St Augustine. Fla, April 23.-Consid-
ly this afternoon by a small boat out
at sea giving signals of distress. Cap
tain Allen Immediately went to the as
sistance in the yacht Baldwin. Upon
nearing the boat he found it to be the
missing lifeboat of the steamer General
Whitney, which foundered north of
Cape Canaveral during Friday night
captain Allen transferred the sailors
to his yacht and brought them to Cor
betts Rock, where large crowd await
ed them. Hot coffee and food were
furnished them at once on the boat and
the poor fellows fairly banqueted.
The story of the disaster as told by
Mate Mattson and his men was thrill
ing one. One of the bulkheads sprang
a leak from the heavy seas which were
prevailing during the early part of Fri
day night All hands were ordered to
the pumps and worked hard, but the
holds began to fill in spite of the ef-
forts. The men realizing the steamer
was settling fast and sure to founder
took to the two lifeboats. Captain j.
W. Hawthorne and Is men went in the
hrst boat and were never again seen
by the remaining men,
Shortly afterward Mate Mattson and
the balance of the crew. IA men, took
to the second boat. That was about
midnight. They had a compass and be-
gan to row for shore. A strong wind
was prevailing, creating a heavy SEA,
and the men at the oars could make no
Roadway.
All day Saturday the men tried to ap-
proach shore, but could not even get a
glimpse of it, and almost despaired
when they found they had plenty of
provisions but no water. They spent all
of Sunday night at the mercy of the
seas, which dashed over their frail boat
frequently.
Early this morning they sighted land,
and with redoubled energies, made
strong from desperation, they took their
turns at the oars. When near enough
to land they improvised a flag with can
vas tackled to an oar, and it was then
that Captain Allen went to their res
cue. g-. ...
The men, when they landed, were
drenched to the skin and almost fam
ished, but warm food soon revived
them and they cheerfully narrated their

the Spaniards transferred the gunboats to
the agents OF Senior Reyes and the feet
left ZambOanga unescOrted. They soon
returned and reported having been board
ed by rebels, who removed the gum
boats ornaments. II the instructions
OF the American naval commander mad

ish gunboats which were 10 become tho
property of the United states. They
say that General Otis has withheld pay
ment for any OF these boats until they

regretted that the insurgents should pos
sess the guns. but II Is said they
will not be able 90 secure and keep on
hand a supply Of ammunition for them.
The United states forces have so far
had no trouble with the insurgents on
the Island OF M.ndanaO, and I'm view OF
the suspicious circumstances attending the
capture Of these guns, II Is apprcnended
that some persons, possibly Spanish ym-
