fewer than 1850 mon. Upon receiving this
statement compromise was fixed by
splitting the difference between the Senate
and House provisions ana placing the
total at 17JUU0 1t is believed that with
this force the department will not be com
PEELED to make any extensive discharges
at the Brooklyn and other navy yards.
At 2'lj a. IN. when the Senate went into
executive session the naval nominations
were taken up and the discussion was
upon the cases of Admirals Schlcy and
Sampson. 1t was urged that the list sent
in yesterday would place the men in the
order they ought to be and the first nomi-
nations in which Sampson was given the
preference should be dropped.
The Senate decided to take the naval
nominations sent in and they were con-
lirmcd without opposition. These are the
promotions resulting from the naval per-
sonnet bill. 1t settles the Schlcy- Sampson
controversy by making each a rear adj
miral. with Schloy two numbers in adj
VanC of Sampson.
Dun ing the closing session of the SEN

He asserted that since the annexation of
the islands ten thousand AsiatiCs had
been imported into the islands This la
hcr was slave labor and the conditions
were such as to demand an immediate

Mr. Perkins also urged action ut the

For the eleven months of the present
fiscal year ending June 1st, the United
States exported products to the value of
81, $50, 900, 900 and imported goods worth
$685., 900, 900, and it is thought the bust
ness of this month will bring the total
export for the year up to within few
millions of the record that was made
last year. For the eleven months our
exports were $4,000, 900 less than they
were for the same period last year Our
imports this year will be about s75 000,-
600 more. This, however, will give us
balance of trade in our favor of over
$500, 100000, which is very comfort
able margin.

CITY'S GUESTS.
Old Soldiers Out for a Good
Time.
Excursion Train From Red Wing Brings
in More Than Two Hundred
People With Band.

The excursion train from Red Wing
over the Great Western road pulled in
to the depot at 1915 this afternoon
bringing something over 200 people, be-
sides the famous boys band of the Red
Wing training school There were 70
old soldiers in the party, and the re-
maiuder were women and children.
They came amply supplied with bas-
kets filled with good things,
There was an unfortunate misunder-
standing as to the time Of the arrival of
the train. II had been announced that
it would arrive at 100 p. m, and this
was the time given on the printer
posters. At the same time, Agent
Barr's information was that it
would arrive at II AS a. N. The great
er part of the people who have carriages
planned to meet the train at l p. m,
and in consequence only part of the
carriages were on hand when the train
of seven coaches came in at 1915 p. m,
half an hour late according to its actual
schedule.
1t happened that there were plenty OF
conveyances for the ladies aud children.
and the veterans were escorted up town
by members of Wilkin Post. The band
had wagonette and dispensed some
excellent music along the street. 1t is
one Of the finest bands in the state and
throughout the day favored the people
with choice selections.
The happy picnicers proceeded di-
rectly to Sibley park, where dinner
was brought forth from the baskets
The members of the WOman's Relief
Corps were on hand to serve hot coffee
to the visitors and this was greatly ap-
preciated by all The strangers roamed
over the park aod admired it's beauties
and many were given a drive around
the city All were enthusiastic over
their trip and over what they saw of
the city.
Among those in the party were Elk
Mayor A. P. Pierce, County Treasurer
Hiram Howe, Register of Deeds j. H.
Webster, and Clerk of Court G. FL.
Booth, all of Red Wing
The train left at 5 p. m. on the re-
turn trip to Red Wing.
The training school band gave concert
at the park at $3.50 p m that was great
ly enjoyed by all who heard It,
The band serenaded several places in
the afternoon, and the Free Press is IN
der obligations for call The band
numbers thirty pieces, under competent
leadership, and is ''all right.
The day turned out to be an ideal one
for an outing. In the morning it
threatened rain, but the sky cleared and
the sun came out.
At the park this afternoon, the G. A.
r. band played selection. w. N.
Plymat made some welcoming remarks
and introduced Mr.. and Mrs Baird, of
Faribault, who sang selection or two
Mrs Clara Gish Ewing gave several
recitations. The program was much
enjoyed.
The fire department gave run short
ly after four o'clock.
