IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.
For the Year the Latter Showed n
Slight Falling on.

A monthly statement of the imports and
exports of the United States shows that
during June the imports of merchandise
into the United States amounted to SOL =
CSC POS, of which S25, Ss1 ,S31 was free OF
duty. This is an increase for the month Of
S10,G0,O00
For the year the total imports of mer-
chandise amounted to $697 OF .3SS, of which
over $500, 900 600 was free of duty. The ex-
ports of domestic merchandise during June
aggregated se4 .s2s. 732. which is a gain of
about S2,000,00o. For the year the exports
amounted tc 81 .227 ,433 425, which is a de-
crease from last year Of 81 OBS 905
The gold imports during June amounted
to $S,6t5 ,6S6. which is a decrease OF about
$225 900 compared with June. 1898. The
gold exports amounted to $40 .90S. 327 as
against 1915, 500 for June, 1898. For the
year the imports of gold amounted to SSs.
954 COB, and the exports to S37 500 .0s6.
The silver imports during June amounted
to 81 915215 and the exports to So ,s43 .Ga3.
The chief reduction in the value of eN-
ports during the year is in grain. of which
the supply abroad in 1895 was unusual.
causing high prices, as well as a greater
demand for the products of the grain fields
of the United States, the average price per
bushel of wheat exported in the fiscal year
1898 being $3.50 cents against an average
of 14.d1 cents in the fiscal year just ended.
The reduction in expectations of grain is
chiefly in price, the quantity of wheat eX-
ported being but about 100000 bushels
less than that of last year. Indeed. the re-
duction in wheat exports is more than off,
set by the increased exports of flour, Of
which the exports of 1889 are about 3 0Cse 100
barrels in excess of those of last year this
increase more than equaliEg The reduction
in the quantity of wheat exported. Corn
shows a considerable reduction in GUAM
tity of exports, the number of bushels for
1853 being about 34,O00000 below that of
1SsS when our corn exports were abnor-
mally large because of the shortage in other
breadstuffs abroad.
There has also been a reduction of about
S20Oo0ooO in value of the exports OF cot
ton, also due largely to the reduction in
price, the average price per pound of cot
ton exported in 1898 being SOS cents and
in 1899 5.55 cents. The decrease i'm value
of exports of breadstuffs and cotton is thus
nearly made up by the increased exports
of manufactures, which seem likely 70
amount to s335,ooG.ec0 in the fiscal year
1892 as against $3.50 e97 1854 in 1895 an in
crease of about S45.00o.0o0.

FELL FROM A TRAIN
A Four Year-0ld Boy Fatally Injured Near
Baltimore.
The Little Victim Was Arthur Bowen
Son of John p. Bowen of
Memphis, Tenn.

Mrs. John P Bowen of Memphis, Tenn,
was 4 passenger a Pennsylvania rail-
road train that reached here last night
from New York. She was almost frantic
and she had the sympathy of all the pas
sengers. but none of them were able to
comfort her. Her son Arthur, four years
old, had fallen from the train some dis
lance beyond Baltimore and at that time
he had not been found. 1t was naturally
supposed that the child had been instant
ly killed, but such was not the case, al
though the injuries proved fatal this morn
ing. The sad accident happened near Per-
rymans station. Mrs. Bowen and her three
children one infant. were on their way
from the dining car to the sleeper. She
had the infant in her arms, and the other
children were intruSted to the care of the
porter.
Details of the Accident.
When the platform was reached the lit
tie boy let go the porter's hand and fell
from the rapidly moving tram. The porter
turned to the mother and impaired to her
the sad intelligence. Soon afterward the
train was stopped and search was made
for the missing passenger, but the little one
was not found. The train then pulled
ahead with the mother and her two chill
dren. and the railroad people at Perry
mans were told to continue the search.
HGchard Simpson, a track walker. found
the fatally injured child and took him to
the office of DIR. Stier. The child was IN
conscious, and the doctor advised his i'm
mediate removal to a hospital. He was
taken to Baltimore on an engine and was
soon under treatment in Johns Hopkins
Hospital. The doctors found that the lit
tie ones skull was fractured and he had
sustained numerous cuts and bruises and
internal injuries. Mrs. Bowen reached the
hospital soon after her child was admitted
there. A telegram was sent to Mr.. Bowen
at Memphis. telling him of the sad affair.
He was formerly a resident of Newark,
n. j., and Mrs. Bowen was at one time a
resident of Raltirranre

AMERICAN PATRIOTIC LEAGUE.
What Mr.. Gayer, President of the Ger
man Branch, Snys.

man Branch, Says.
Mr. Gustav A Gayer of New York presi-
dent of the American Patriotic Leagues
German branch, is stopping at the Metro
politan Hotel. His object here is to obtain
an audience with President Mckinley in
order to convey to him in person the
leagues unqualified Endorsement of his I'M
equaled administration, etc.
The advisory board of the league is head
ed by such names as Theodore Roosevelt,
Benjamin Harrison, Abraham 8. Hewitt and
many other prominent statesmen, journal
lists and clergymen. Admiral Dewey heads
the list of its honorary members.
The main object of this society is to bring
about thorough amalgamation of our citi-
zens Of German birth and the American
people. In order to do this it endeavors
above all things to foster among them a
genuine love for their adopted country, and
as a requisite to naturalization a high
standard of unselfish citizenship and the
art of acting concertedly in securing good
government in national, state and municipal
affairs: to instruct them in the language,
principles. laws. customs, history and prog
ress of the republic.
From the moment of my arrival in this
country, twenty years ago." said Mr.. Gayer
II have breathed in the American spirit
with every breath Of my life. After being
adopted by the United States l considered
myself much of an American as did
Daniel Webster when he exclaimed:
Thank God, II too-am an American
From that time on 1t became my sole am
bition to help others of my countrymen
here to become sons and daughters of the
grandest country in the world.
IF it were in my power l would, next to
Gods Word, introduce the Constitution Of
the United States and the Declaration of
Independence into every country on the face
of the earth; l would plant American lib
erty upon every inch Of the globe, and In
still the glorious principles of our common
citizenship into the heart of every man,
woman and child in the world.
LAS the president of the Patriotic
Leagues German branch, | am endeavoring
in what manner l am able to teach the true
principles of American citizenship to my
German countrymen, in language so plain
and form SO simple that they shall not only
feel toward America as Agrippa felt toward
Christianity, when he said to the immortal
Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be-
come a Christian but that they shall
pledge their patriotism, loyalty service and,
If needs be, as many of them have done,
their lives for the defense of this coun-
try

Overhead Wires Along Rock Creek.

The District Commissioners today granted
permission to the United States Electric
Lighting Company to rebuild it's pole line
along the east side of Rock creek from
the M street to the p street bridge, and
to replace existing wires with ones of larger
capacity.
This pole line has been in existence for
some ten years, and now carries two wires
connected with the company's alternating
current system, and are used for furnishing
current to the market at 22d and P streets.
There are also two other wires on the same
line, which formerly were connected with
the companys arc light system. 1t is the
intention of the company to replace these
four wires with larger ones and connect
them with the company's cables underneath
the NJ street bridge, beneath which the pole
line passes. This, it is stated, will give the
company a connection between the power
house of the Metropolitan Railroad Com
pany on street and that of the Potomac
Electric Power Company in Georgetown.

Christ Church Boys on Their Vacation

The Episcopal Church of Aide, Loudoun
county, Va, was the scene of a beautiful
service last Monday. The choir boys of
Christ Church, Georgetown, are spending a
ten-days' vacation at Middleburg and as
sisted at the Sunday morning service at
Aldie, which is three miles distant from the
M:ddleburg Inn. 1t is the first time a
vested choir has been seen or heard in that
vicinity, and was most thoroughly enjoyed
by the very large congregation present. On
Friday night a concert was given by the
choir to aid the congregation of the Middle
burg Church in putting up a porch and
bell.
The boys are having a fine time, and be-
having in a most gentlemanly manner
They ardently express most heartfelt
thanks to Mrs. Falconer Grant and family
of The HILL who turned over her beauti-
full grounds to the boys for their enjoy

THE MT. PLEASANT LOOP.
Conn issfoners Believe the Question
Should BE Left to Congress.

Conn fssiOners Believe the Question
Should BE Left to Congress-.
Although the matter was, as stated in
The Star, virtually disposed of several
weeks ago, the District Commissioners have
just written MIR. George T. Dunlop, presi-
dent of the Capital Traction Company, that,
in their opinion, the company should not
proceed further in it's purpose to construct
a loop at the Mt. Pleasant terminus of its
14th street line.
Railway and street extension matters"
wrote the Commissioners, ARE in such
state in this sec tion that it would seem to
be advisable to let the question remain as
at present until the next session of Con-
gress. 1t is believed that the company will
find that by 50 doing they will be able to
adopt better terminal system, and with
much more economy"
AS has been heretofore explained in The
Star, the railway company, having secured
a thirtyfoot strip of land in the square
bounded by 18th and 18th streets and Ken
yon street and Whitney avenue, asked per-
mission of the Commissioners to erect
thereon a passenger station, and to run its
tracks along Kenyon street to the land
secured; thence to Whitney avenue, and
thence to its main tracks on 18th street.
The residents and property owners in the
immediate vicinity vigorously objected, al
though the then attorney for the district,
Mr.. S. T. Thomas, advised the Commission
ers that they We're authorized to grant the
permits desired by the company.
1t is known that the matter was brought
to the attention OF Senator Mcmillan. chair
man of the Senate District committee. who
is believed to have suggested to both the
Commissioners and the railway company
that it would be advisable to do nothing In
the matter until Congress had an oppor
tunity to consider the case 1t is under
stood that the railway company has deter
mined to do nothing further in the matter,
and 1t is said that the COMPANY hopes to be
able to extend its 14th street line to Spring
road during the next few months. This ex-
tension would, 1t is stated, remove the al
legged necessity for the proposed loop.

Best Year for Mining Conner.

The report on the production of copper in
1888 has just been submitted to the United
States geological survey by Special Agent
Kirchhoff. The production of the United
States in that year was 526,375,591 pounds,
which is by far the largest product ever
reported. This report shows that 1898 was
one of general prosperity for the copper
mining industry, the full product being
marketed at prices slightly better than
those Of 1887. The actual scarcity Of cop
per, with it's accompanying upward rush
stock speculation, did not in>reality develop
until the end of the year. 1t did not tell
upon the returns for the year 1898. As was
expected, the increase in the production of
copper was largest in Arizona, while the
lake district also recorded an advance.
