continued his recital of the history of

governor of Essequibo had stated in
1894 that MCreica was the western
boundary Of the Dutch dominions.
Dealing with the plantations, the
speaker demolished Sir Richard Web

After luncheon Professor Martens,
the president of the court, addressed

aspects of the case at the same time.

THE FOREIGN TRADE
Favorable Comparison With
Former Years.
a Statement Comprising All Rrfi-

TO Million Dollars OF More.
Jewelry and Diamonds.

Washington, Aug. T.-(Special)-
of imports and exports has enabled the
treasury bureau of statistics TO pre-
sent a statement of imports of all ar
! tfcles whose value in the fiscal year
1899 exceeded $1,OOO,00O. comparing
the same with the imports of 1898 and
1S9. This statement. which comprises
about 95 per cent of the total imports,
gives a satisfactory picture of the
years business and the articles in
which there has been an increase or
decrease in importations, so far as
can be Shown by the statements of
values. In certain cases. however, the
apparent increase or reduction is, by
reason of the change in values, great
er than really exists In coffee, for
instance, the 1897 figures show impor-
tations valued at $S1,544,3S4 those of
1898, $50, ,O67, ,631. and 1899. $55.274.6 GAG.
The 1899 figures as to values are thus
81 per cent below those of1S91,while
in fact the impOrtations of 1899 are
nearly 1O0.0GO,O00 pounds greater than
those of 1897, the reduced figures OF
the statement in dollars being due to
idhe reduction in price In sugar the
conditions are reversed, prices abroad
in 1899 being higher than in 1897, so
that 1880, $50 pounds of sugar I'M
ported in 1899 cost nearly as much as
4,91S,905 1873 pounds imported in 1897,
the statement of values in each case
being based upon the value in the
country of production.
In jewelry and diamonds the large
increase is believed to be due to. the
fact shat a larger proportions of the
