should endeavor to elevate, has been
corrupted until the number for sale is
truly appalling. The whole political

did not; prominent citizens excuse po-

OUR COLONIAL TRADE.


When the War Department, which
seeks TO justify the administration in
its policy Of expansion. gives facts and
figures concerning the trade between
the United States and her colonies un-
der military control. the fact that such
presentation is made in its most favor
able light must not be lost sight Of. A
statement just issued says that the ex-
ports from the United States to Cuba
for the seven months were s14,116, ,993
in 1899. against s4,4S5,sS7 in 1898 The
imports into the United States from
Cuba for the same period were s19,-
sT6.s56 in 1899. against Si2.474.77O in
1898.
The exports from the United States
to Porto Rico for the seven months
were s2.2ss ,221 in 1899. against $500
10 in 1895 Imports into the United
States from Porto Rico during the same
time we're sS.37s.944 in 1899. against
s2.253.SOO in 1898.
The exports from the United States
to the Philippine Islands from January
to July 81 we're sSS6.109 in 1899
against S657S6 in 1898. The imports
into the United States from the Phil
ippine Islands for the same period were
ss.274l37 in 1899. against s2.2S3,775 in
1888.
The trade Of the United States with
the various islands when stated by
months shows a marvellous growth OF
our commerce.
The growth of exports by months
has been very gratifying in all the is
lands. and especially so in the Philip
pine Islands.
The only fiscal years since 1877
showing for the entire twelve month,
a larger value OF merchandise exported
from the United States to Cuba than IL
shewn by the first seven months O
1899 were the years 1892, 1893 and 1894
II the same ratio is maintained unit
the end Of the year. the imports int
Cuba from the United States viii b
larger than the exports from the Unite'
States to the island in any fiscal yea
in the entire history OF the trade be
tween this country and Cuba.
The imports into the United State
from Cuba from January 1 to July 81
1899. were greater than the CORE
spending imports for either OF the Ell
tire fiscal years 1897 and 1898. II tn
same ratio is maintained for the r'
nainder Of this year the imports int
this country from Cuba will exco5
ss2 900 900. and be more than douM

have been exceeded only by three

ACCIDENTAL.
In regards to this accident, which |
occurred at Elkton, Md, on September
?, in which Constable William p
shot and killed Ali Terror,
tramp, Detective William T. Jones
said:
"On that day Mr.. windish and
l were engaged in hunting for four
colored men, who had been stoning a
train, while It was passing
through the West Yard, Having gotten
on their trail, which led to New Cas-
tie the officers proceeded further.
When they had nearly reached New
Castle, they espied the men whom they
were after, a short distance ahead. The
negroes saw them at about the same
time, and Immediately took to their
heels, with us in hot pursuit. Mr..
Windish asked me for the use Of one
.of my revolvers, having left his own
at home. l lent him the weapon,
which was a 32-calibre, and had all of
the chambers loaded. 1t was claimed
that Mr. Windish shot at the men, but
this l deny. as he returned the gun
on the way home in exactly the same
condition in which l loaned it to him,
with each chamber intact. 1 shot sew
eral times in order to scare the men,
but can take oath that Mr.. Windish
did not fire a single shot, as can sew
eral others. Having lost track of the
men, we went to Perryyille, where we
hoped to locate them. On arriving at
that place found a dispatch from the
superintendent awaiting me, which
said to keep watch on the freight
rains, as four men were liable to come
that way, who had stoned train No. 6.
and fired seven shots at one of the
brakemen. We then went to Wood
burn tower, which is about a mile
labove Perryville. While there a
freight approached, which we saw four
men board. l ordered the train to
stop, to enable me to make a search
which was done. We searched the
rain, and found a number of tramps
among whom were the four referred
to, hidden in one Of the box cars Both
of us stood at the car door, and or
ldered them to come out, which some
did, but others, instead of complying
rushed to the other side of the car, anC
Throwing back the door, jumped to the
/, ground and made OFF. Mr.. Wind
2 ish called to them to halt, but they
did not heed his command, and KEEP
on running.
After every one had vacated the car
Mr.. Windish, who had hold Of pris
oner with his left hand, walked up t
the side of the car, drawing his revol
yer at the same time. He leaned hii
arm on the floor of the car, and point
ing his revolver at the opposite ca
door, pulled the trigger. AS the repor
of the weapon rang out, man rushe'
, by the car door, through which thu
I. bullet passed, and the ball entered hi
