Ex-COMPTRoLLER ECKELS.
His Opinion Of Senatorial Deadlock
and Other Matters.

LOS ANGELES, April 23.-Hon
James H. Eckels, ex-Comptroller of the
Currency, in an interview printed in
the Times of this city, says that all
most a crisis has been reached in the
failure Of four States to elect a United
States Senator, at a time when the
Senate is confronted with as grave
problems as have ever come before it,
The result of this situation will even
tually be, he thinks, a Constitutional
amendment whereby Senators will be
chosen by direct vote of the people.
Matthew Quay of Pennsylvania, has
little prospect of ultimately retaining
his seat in the United States Senate, >
says Mr.. Eckels.
'The action of Governor Stone will
not be upheld by the Senate. I think
the Senate will consider it the same as
in the case Of Oregon's Senator when
the Governor attempted to appoint Cor
bett to succeed Mitchell.
IF the Democratic party in the cam
paign of 1900 stands upon the Chicago
platform it is sure of defeat said Mr.
EcEels. 'sThe silverites can no longer
depend upon the support Of the West
ern States, in case they lose in the
East
When asked for his opinion of the
Morehouse signature law OF California,
Mr.. Eckels said:
1.-THE law is absolutely ridiculous and
an infringement on the rights Of the
press

FOUR THOUSAND PEOPLE.
Went to Newman to Visit the Scene
of the Burning.

ATLANTA, April 23.-One special and
two regular trains carried nearly 1000
people to Newman to winess the burn
ing of Sam Hose, or to visit the scene
Of the affair. The excursionists return
ing tonight were loaded with CHASTITY
reminders of the affair in the shape Of
bones. pieces of flesh, etc.
One of the trains as it passed through
Fort Mcpherson, was stoned-presum
ably by negroes. A number of windows
were broken and two passengers were
painfully injured.
Governor Gambler stated tonight that
he had been advised that a. mob of citi
zens from Fayetteville and Woolsey
were coming to Atlanta to take George
W. Kerlin from the Jail here and lynch
him. He murdered Miss Pearl Knott,
near Woolsey, several days ago and
threw her body in the river. The Gov
ernor Immediately ordered eight compa-
nies of the Fifth Infantry (State militia)
to be in readiness to march to the Jail
upon quick order. 1t is believed that
the troops are held in readiness to be
sent to Palmetto in case of an uprising
of negroes there.

LOST AN OPPORTUNITY.
Negroes Should Have Aided to
Bring Hose to Justice.

ATLANTA, April % = Governor
Gambler. tonight gave the Associated
Press the following statement of the
burning of Sam Hose:
THE whole thing is deplorable, and
Hoses crime, the horrdd details of
which have not been published and are
too horrible for publication, is the most
diabohcal in the annals of crime The
negroes of that community lost the best
opportunity they will ever have to eIe-
vate themselves in the estimation of
their white neighbors
THE diabolical nature of the crime
was we'll known to everyone of them;
the perpetrator was well known, and
they owed it to their race to exhaust
every means of bringing Hose to JUS
tice. This course would have done
more to elevate them in the estimation
of good people and to protect their race
against the mob than all the rewards
and proclamations of the Governors for
the next fifty years. But they lost the
opportunity, and it is a deplorable fact
that while scores of intelligent negroes,
leaders of their race have talked to me
about the Palmetto lynching, not one
of them has ever in the remotest way
alluded to either the burning of Pal
metto, which provoked the lynching,
nor to the diabolical crime of Hose.
Il do not believe these men sympa-
thized with Hose or the Palmetto in
cendiaries, but they are blinded by race
prejudice, and can see but one side of
the question. 1 want to protect them
in every legal right and against mob
violence, and 1 stand ready to employ
every resource of the State in doing so,
but they must realize that in order to
merit and receive the protection Of the
community they must show willing
ness to at least aid in protecting the
community against the iawless element
of their own race. To secure protection
against lawless whites they must show
a. disposition to protect the white peo-
pie against the lawless blacks

HAVANA, April 23.-Every now and
again some prominent Spaniard calls
upon Major General Brooke and en-
deayors to learn in more or less dip
lornatic way how long the United States
Government intends to occupy Cuba.
The Spaniards are apparently appre-
hensive as to the future and passage to
Europe by the French and Spanish
liners is being booked three or four
months ahead. Last month GAGS per-
sons left Cuba for the United States,
many of whom We're Spaniards bound
ultimately for Spain.
Charges of dishonesty brought against
certain American civilian purchasing
agents for the engineering department
of Havana are now under inquiry.
One of the local papers asserts that
several former Spanish officers now re-
siding here intend to offer to the Unit
ed States, through Governor General
Brooke, their services in the campaign
against the Fflipinos. Senior Perez, a
dealer in secondhand books, is quoted
as having said that he and his friends
are confident of being able to enlist a
regiment in Cuba.
The official returns show that during
the first quarter of the year S5, ,341 600
was imported and $1,000, 259 exported

was unable to rise, and was carried by
Townsend and Remillard to the rear of

of their efforts. The officers and men,
realizing that the steamer was settling
fast and sure to founder, took to the
two life boats.
Captain J. w. Hawthorne and fifteen
men went in the first boat and were
never again seen by the remaining men,

the balance of the crew, fourteen men,
took to the second boat That was about
midnight They secured a compass and
began to row for shore. A strong wind

night at the mercy of the seas. 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 which they
tackled to an oar, and it was then that
Captain Allen went to their rescue.
The men when they landed were
drenched to the skin and almost fam
shed, little warm food being divided
between them and they narrated their
experience.
They await instructions from New

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
Exports From the u. S. Last Year
Were Double the Imports.

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 re-
corded for a like period, and our i'm
ports exceptionally small According
to a comprehensive report just pre-
pared by Frank NJ. Hitchcock. Chief
of the Section of Foreign Markets Of
the Agricultural Department, the total
value of our domestic exports reached
the enormous sum of S1,210, ,291 ,913,
exceeding the record breaking figures of
the preceding year by SITS, 2S4, 80. On
the other hand, the imports during 1898
were the smallest since 1885, their
value being S616, ,049 654, a decline OF
S14S, ,6S5,1 16S of the figures of 1897.
Broadly stated, for every dollars worth
of foreign merchandise brought into
the United States, two dollars worth of
our products found a market abroad.
Our domestic exports as compared with
our imports, showed an excess of S594,-
242, ,259, or more than twice the excess
for 1887, which was the largest pre-
viously reported.
An interesting fact developed by the
report of Mr.. Hitchcock is the increase
in the exports of agricultural products,
being 1898 per cent of the total, or
Ss5S, ,942, a gain of nearly 70 per
cent over 1897. Exports of this class
also show greater gain proportion
ately than agricultural exports.
Our purchases of foreign agricultural
products in 1898 amounted to only
S314. POI ,796. as compared with S400,
81 ,46S in 1897, a decrease of $50, 6,579,-
672. or about % per cent. The value
of the American farm products sent
abroad during 1893 was much more
than double that of our agricultural
imports, the excess of the former over
the latter amounting 10 S544. .216, 146.
In 1897 the excess of the side of the
agricultural exports was only S2SS,
SS3, ,725, and in the years Immediately
preceding, still smaller

fore 10 o'clock the streets were crowded
with people anxious to view the elab-
orate decorations and welcome the Ma
tive Sons of the Golden West
On the arrival of the first train from
the south the depot grounds were
crowded with people who welcomed the
delegates. They were escorted to their
headquarters by delegations from the
local parlor and the city band. This
was but the beginning, for when a train
of seven cars arrived from the north,
moving space was at a premium for
many hundreds of feet around the de-
pot. The delegates and visitors were
enthusiastically received and a process
sion was formed to escort them to where
they were to be informally received. The
order of the procession was:
Salinas City Band; Troop c, National
Guard of California, dismountd in full
dress uniform: Santa Lucia Parlor, N.

sued. The delegates We're then escorted
to Native Sons Hall, where they were
assigned to their quarters. Though
there are over 1900 strangers here to-
night, so excellent has been the work
of the Accommodation Committee that
all have been housed. About 1000 are
expected here tomorrow from neigh
boring towns, which number will be

Native Sons, but for all who went from
this State and it is receiving enthusi-
astic support. 1t is reported that a
