Manufactures are now forming more
than one-third of this country's total do
mestic exports. During the last month
they constituted 1917 per cent of the total
domestic exports, during the three
months ending with May they weic $3.50
per cent. and during the fiscal year just
ending they will form larger percentage
Of Americas total domestic exports than
in any preceding year. and exceed by
many millions the total exports of manu-
factures in any preceding year. The fiscal
year 1898 showed the largest exports of
manufactures in the country's history,
1920, ,697. 1854, and in the eleven months Of
the fiscal year 1899 the increase over the
corresponding months of the preceding
year has been $45. 164. 600, SO that 1t is now
apparent that the exports Of manufactures
in the fiscal year now ending will be about
$685., ,000, ,000 as against the high water
water mark. $500. .637, 1854 in the fiscal year
1S98
Iron and steel continue to form the most
important, or. at least. by far the largest
item of value in the exports of manufac-
lures. In the month Of May, 1899, the ex-
ports of iron and steel and manufactures
thereof amounted to $S.601 ia, making the
total for the eleven months $S4, S73, S42,
against $63, ,235. .029 in the corresponding
months Of last year, gain in the eleven
months of over $21 900, 900 The recent ad-
vances in prices of iron and steel caused
the belief that a reduction in the exports Of
iron and steel would follow. but certainly
this has not been realized up to the pres
ent time. since the expectations of iron and
steel in the month of May are 20 per cent
in excess of those of May Of last year.
while those of April are nearly so per cent
in excess of April, 1898.
The increase which the years exports Of
manufactures will show over earlier years
lends especial interest to a table prepared
by the Treasury Bureau OF Statistics.
showing the expectation OF manufactures
by great classes in each year from 1889 to
1898. This table will appear in the next
Monthly Summary of Commerce and FL

RILEY GRANNAN'S RIVAL.
"Chappfe" Levy's RePufed Winning.

New York. June 30.-"Chappie' Levy
risks money either for the sake of losing
it all on a gamble or winning a pile. He
is as well known on the race tracks here
abouts and at the Saratoga course as he is
in the Tenderloin, and everybody In the
Tenderloin knows him. He always plays
the limit, whether il be at the races or
faro. and in the language of his friends,
he is a .fiend'' at both. 1t is because OF
his nerve that "Chappie' has a large and
juicy bank roll. which was started with
$50 bill and has increased to nearly SIS
900 since Saturday last.
"Chappie" played the race horse Tinge
to win at Sheepshead Bay on Saturday.
The game was made with 500 bill, which
"Chappie" had borrowed from friend.
The horse was first. and being to l in
the betting. "Chappie' gathered in $50 for
his $40. Then he paid back the borrowed
$40 and played on velvet. He backed

registered. Five Senators were put out at the
plate on hairbreadth decisions-a performance that
has never been equaled within the memory of the
oldest player. II is almost beyond comprehension
how the Senators could have lost the game that

error is charged to any player of the team 1t
is matter of surprise and comment that Irwins
men did not get at least two out of the five close
decisions at the plate, which would have given

correctness of the umpires. it is nevertheless.
strange that all the close decisions went against

MRS. RAMSEY SOUGHT DEATH

1hrOat Attempts Suicide.

D
New York, June 3O.-Mrs. Grace Edith
Ramsey was freed from responsibility yes
| terday for the death of her husband. Har-
vey j. Ramsey, whose throat she cut with
razor week ago Before Coroner Bausch
yesterday jury rendered a verdict that
MIR. Ramsey came to his death from an in
cised wound Of the throat, caused by a
razor in the hands of his wife while she
was temporarily insane.
AS she was crossing the Bridge of Signs
! on her way back to the Tombs after the
verdict of the coroner's jury had been rem
dered, Mrs Ramsey drew from her blue
chip straw hat a plain steel hatpin and
struck four times at her throat with it be-
lore Policeman O'Rourke and Mrs Sarah
Bird, Tombs missionary, who were with
her. could interfere. She inflicted only
slight scratches, but when Mrs. Bird and
the policeman took the hatpin from her
she sank to the floor.
She did not faint, for as she lay there
she murmured:
Il don't want to go back to the Tombs.
want to die and go to my husband"
As they raised her to her feet Warden
Hagan, with two keepers, advanced. The
warden. after few words of sympathy
had the woman removed at once to her &c. i
and before she was locked up had her
searched lest some other sharp instrument
might be concealed about her. She will be
kept in the Tombs pending an application
for her discharge on the plea of insanity,
which will be made at once by Edward Nc
Kinley, her lawyer.
Mrs. Ramsey's demeanor before the cor
oner left little doubt in the minds of those
who saw her that she was insane AS she
was taken into the room she said to po-
liceman O'Rourke:
You are taking me to be electrocuted.
am too young to die
During the hearing she did not once
change the pitch of her voice from a low.
sad tone. but she seemed to follow closely
all that went on. There was a crowd in
the room. attracted by curiosity to see the
woman.
J. W. Ramsey, father OF the victim. was
the first witness. He told of the first init
nation he had received of the woman's
mental condition, and added:
Il told my son that he must make I'D his
mind to part with Oracle. You must put
her away, my dear boy / said" Mr.,
Ramsey identified as his property the razor
with which his son was killed. He had
used it last two days before the tragedy,
but had not seen it again until after his
son had been killed DR.. Jackson Camp
bell, Tombs physician, and DIR. Reginald
H. Sayre, of No. 2S5 Fifth Avenue, both
testified to their conviction that the woman
was not responsible for killing her hus-
band. They said she had danced in the
prison and at present. seemed imbued with
a suicidal mania.
Mr.. Ramsey was a ticket taker at the
Madison Square Garden. Mrs. Ramsey first
said she cut his throat because he snored,
and then that she wanted to see the color
of his blood.

Levy comes of good English family and
is in receipt of a small income. Before 60
ing to the track on Saturday he expected
to receive his usual allowance. If it had
come, he says. he would have started off
his lucky betting streak with wager Of
500 on Tinge. with consequent larger
wagers on the other winners which he Sc
lected.
At Saratoga three years ago Levy had a
similar experience. when he ran shoe
string into a bank roll,' as he terms it.
Then he not only beat" the horses, but
faro as we'll, and he came away with a
hatful of money.
When in town Levy lives at the Grand
Hotel He is credited with possessing
good knowledge Of horses, and his friends
know that when his judgment tells him
that horse has a chance to win Chap
