GENERAL LANTON KILLED.
A TACTICIAN OF ADMIT
BED SKILL.
The American General Shot Through
The Breast-Wss Always In The
Thick of The Fight.

Major. General Lawton, engaged in
driving insurgents from San Mateo sec
tion OF the country northeast OF Manila,
was killed at o.3o o'clock Yesterday
morning. His death is a great loss to
his country.
He was standing in front OF his troops.
was shot in the breast and died almost
instantly. A fight was in progress and
General Lawton was walking along the
tirlng line in driving rain. He was
within 900 yards of a small sharpshoot-
ers trench. The General was conspic-
uous in the big white helmet he always
wore in Luzon, and light yellow rain
coat. He was also easily dis,inguishable
because OF his commanding statue, being
8 feet inches tall.
The sharpshooters directed several
close shots which clipped the grass near
by. Staff officers called General Law
tons attention to his danger. but he only
laughed with his usual contempt for bul.
lets. Suddenly he exclaimed Il am
shot, clinching his hand in desperate
effort to stand erect, and then fell into
the arms of staff officer. Orderlies
rushed across the field for surgeons, who
dashed up quickly. but their efforts were
useless. The body was taken to a clump
OF bushes and laid upon litter. the
familiar white helmet covering the face
OF the dead general.
Major-General Henry w. Lawton was
one OF the officers of the present genera
ton who form the ideal OF the American
soldier. A tactician OF admitted skill. he
was besides every inch a soldier in the
physical sense Ia -agladiator. Tall. straight
as an arrow. muscular as an athlete. he
was tiTeless on the march. more than
reckless in exposing himself to danger,
loving battle for battles sake. always
anxious to do do and dare where other
men might hesitate. He. like Wheeler.
could hardly be still when a fight was on.
He wanted to get in the thick OF it. to
feel the thrill of combat. the exultation of
victory. General Lawton's wife is now
at Manila. He has four children.

BID FOR CHINA'S TRADE

New York, Nov. ia Suns special
from Washington says: American pro-
ducts seem to be gaining more rapidly
in China than those of any other ma
ton. The annual report of the Inspec-
tor General of Customs of China. COW
ering the year 1898, just received by
the Treasury Bureau of Statistics,
shows an increase of nearly 40 per
cent in. exports to China from the
United States, while the increase of
total imports is less than per cent
Imports into China from the United
States in 1898 were 17,163,312 haikwan
taels, against 12,44O,302 taels in 1897,
an increase of 4,723,01O teals, while
those from Great Britain, our most ac-
tive rival in Oriental trade. fell from
40,015,5S7 taels in 1892 to 34,662. 474
taels in 1898, and from the continent
of Europe in 1898 imports also show a
slight reduction, being 1882. 73S taels.
against 11,S00.974 taels. Imports into
China from Hongkong are largely of
European origin and amounted In 1898
to 97214,Ol7 taels, against 90,125,S
taels in 1897.
Even assuming that all OF the i'm
ports into China from Hongkong and
Macao are of European origin, and
combining them with those from Great
Britain and the continent of Europe,
they make grand total of European
products imported into China in 1898 OF
147,376,946 haikwan teas I'm value,
against las ,457.326 taels for 1897, thus
showing gain in European products
into China in 1898 of less than 1 per
cent, while those from the United
States show gain of nearly 40 per
cent The principal imports into
China from the United States are cot
ton goods, kerosene oil, flour, provi-
sions, railway engines and materials,
manufactures of iron and steel, manu-
features Of wood and manufactured to-
bacco.

1t is practically agreed that it was

sEWELL,s POINT RAILWAY. {
SUSPENSION OF WORK CAUSED
BY LABOR TROUBLES.

p.
Work on the sewalrs Point
Electric Railway has been prac-
tically suspended for the past
month because of trouble between
the Tennis Construction Company, sub
contractors under Sanford, Brooks &
Co.. and the laborerS whom they EN-
ployed on the road. Mr.. ID. Loweuberg,
President of the Atlantic Terminal
Company, said yesterday that he knew
little about the trouble, but supposed
the cause of it was that the Tennis
Construction Company had run short
of money.
ESQ laborers, mostly cclorcd, and the
road was practically completed, with
the execution of the poles, trolley and
power house, when the trouble arose.
The company, it seems, got behind with
the wages of most or their employees,
and nearly all of them quit work
Then, it is said, there was some trouble
between the Tennis Construction COM
pany and Sanford, Brooks & Co., the
former claiming extra money because
of an engineering mistake made, which
the company claimed it was not re-
sponsiblc for. This made 1t necessary
to re-grade and rebuild a portion Of
the road. There was also some personal
trouble between certain officials of the
has anything to do with the present
trouble, by which the completion of the
road Is delayed. said Mr.. Lowenberg
yesterday.
In addition to the labor trouble, sew
eral mechanics liens have been filed
against the Tennis Construction Com
pany in the Corporation Court here
Mr. Conwell, the company's chief engi-
neer and representative here. went to
Baltimore nearly q month ago to secure
money for the adjustment of matters
here, and though the other men of his
company In Norfolk have looked for
his return almost every day for two
weeks 1t is now said he has gone to
Philadelphia, the headquarters of the
company. and will not return until
some time next week. 1t Is not known
whether or not he will come prepared
to pay off the claims against the COM
Dany at once.
BY the terms of their contract, the
company was to have had the road
completed by September 1st. Asked yes
terday If tho Atlantic Terminal Com
pany would hold the contractors finan-
cially responsible for the failure to full
fill their contract as to the time of
completion, Mr.. Lowenberg said that
this would be the natural course to pur-
sue, but he would not give definite
answer. When the road was started.
II was expected 10 nave cars running
over 1t by now, whereas the track has
not been laid the entire distance, only
the foundation of the powcr-housc is
down, and many of the trolley poles
and the trolleys are yet to be put UP.
Some of the employees of the company
have taken steps. it is said. to bring
suit against it. but have been per-
suaded to walt q while longer. 1t is
hoped to have tho trouble adjusted
soon.

a HEAVY Foe.
TRAFFIC MUCH DELAYED AND
SOME ACCIDENTS HAPPEN.

SOME ACCIDENTS HAPPEN.
The fog yesterday morning was the
most palpable wet-blanket this section
has seen for many a day. No one could
fail to see the fog, for no one could see
to any distance through 1t, and after a
few futile attempts by tugs and ferry
steamers the fog reigned king Of the
port, and all pretenders abdicated. AS
one captain put the matter: the only
place one could see out was overhead,
and unless the boiler burst there was
no chance of going that way, and he
wasn't anxious to try that trip.
Sc from $3.50 to 10 A. M. no ferry
trips were successfully made. The ferry
steamer Superior on one attempt was in
collision with the tug Volunteer, and
the formers guurd-rail was cut
through. but no other da mage was
done. The City of Portsmouth came
near colliding with the Superior, and
landed in the Old Dominion dock, and
on the same trip she rammed the Sea-
board Air Line dock, damaging 1t
somewhat. Other amusing contret emps
occurred. which might easily have been
serious, but luckily no one was in
jured
Outgoing and incoming steamers were
greatly delayed. but the most provok-
Ing thing to the citizens was the de-
layed ferry traffic. and much grum-
bling was INDUCED In. The only way OF
preventing recurrence of such delays is
apparently bridge over Berkeley from
Norfolk to Portsmouth, and this may
not be far off 1t was said to be the
tbickest fog In twelve years.
