the opposite view and thinks he should

Judge Benson on Thursday, and the
prisoner was bound over to appear be-
fore the grand jury in the sum of $780,
which was promptly given. The testi-
mony of witnesses, as is usually the

the matter to the district court. SAYS

A Bisbee citizen named Sundstrum

Wanders about at all hours and makes
frequent attempts to force an entrance
into houses, day or night, looking for
his wili-o wisp. He is harmless
but is in constant danger of being mis-
taken for burglar during some of his
midnight searches and by being taken
in custody is thus put out of danger

reading and adopted, carried. Only

Russell, Perry, Pusch and Woods voted
for it's adoption and the mayor gave
it his formal approval. thus passing it.

brought in the courts to determine the
legality of the sale. thus settling that
veXing question forever before any
more lots are sold.

What the London Chronicle Says OF

1t is interesting to ask whom and what

but generally devoid Of the elementary
qualities of seIf-government.
Their leaders, like the members of the
Filipino cabinet are an Insignificant minor
ity, possessed Of western knowledge, but
knowledge SO recently acquired as to have
brought few features of western character
with 1t. There is little doubt that Aguin-
aldo, for example, has in the past taken
Spanish money to cease his attacks. His
sudden disappearance from the scene Of ac-
ton was also curicusly synchronous with
the voting OF consdera BILE sum to be used
by President Mckinley as secret service
money.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Employe of Government Printing Of
fee in Snow Drift,

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
HIATTSVILLE, Md, February II, 1899
Mr.. Charles Moystin, who is employed in
the government printing office, narrowly
escaped death in the snow last evening.
Mr.. Moystin came from Washington on a
train at 7:30 pm. and started for his home
about one mile distant. In passing through
a strip of woods he lost the path in the
snow, and after floundering about in the
drifts for an hour he struck a mill race
that runs within quarter of a mile of his
home. He started along the race on the
ice, when suddenly 1t gave way, precinitat-
ing him into the water up to his waist
With considerable difficulty he managed to
get clear of the water and started for his
home, which could be seen in the distance,
and which he reached in an exhausted con-
dition, his clothes in the meantime having
frozen stiff.
A number of residents are complaining of
the scarcity of coal. 1t is impossible for
dealers to deliver on account of the drifted
snow.

Railway Magnates Confer on Rate.

A conference was held here yesterday be-
tween the interstate commerce commission
and the presidents or other principal off,
Gals of most of the great railway trunk
lines over the rate situation. The commits
sion after the conference, made the follow
ing statement:
1.-THE object of the meeting, among other
things was to ascertain the rate conditions
which now prevail in what is know as
trunk line territory, and the difficulties
which have arisen or may arise in the
future to interfere with the maintenance
of rates The primary purpose of the COM
mission in holding these conferences is to
promote the observance of the law by the
maintenance of tariffs and thereby to pre-
vent the Determinations which result from
secret rate-cutting and similar practices.
It was the unanimous statement of the
gentlemen present that the law is better
observed at the present time than has been
known before in many years. The subjects
of relative rates on export grain ard fo,ir
minimum car load weights, ard storage and
terminal charges were among those cor
sidered."

Noble Charity Work Done by students

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
The recent spell of severe weather has
been the means of showing in many ways
the sympathy for suffering humanity which
lies in the hearts of those who have never
known what it is to suffer for want of SUI
ficient food or clothing On my return from
visit to North Carolina my train became
snow-bound at Charlottesville, Va, where
I spent Wednesday of this week. There are
many aged. destitute colored people around
and in Charlottesville, as we'll as in other
effects of the cold and insufficient food 1
was Informed by reliable colored persons of
that place that the students of the Univer-
sity of Virginia formed themselves into a
relief party and went out to find and re-
lieVe cases of restitution and want among
these poor colored people, carrying food and
fuel on their backs and trudging through
snow knee-deep. In many instances they
found inmates of dwellings huddled in their
miserable beds, trying to keep warm with
scant covering, because there was nothing
in their mean abode with which to start a
fire. Those kind-hearted gentlemen would
not only leave fuel and food, but would kim
die fire and try to give comfort as well as
relief to those poor unfortunates
When / heard this story it struck me SO
forciby that l felt such acts of Christian
charity should not be passed by in silence.
and l desire to thank those university stu
dents, through your columns, for their
benevolent aid to those helpless people Of
my race in time of dire distress. Such
thoughtful and disnterested kindness is
proof of true nobility of character.

Great Increase in Exports and Inn
ports During the Past Decade.

A good deal Of unnecessary anxiety seems
to be exhibited both in Germany and in the
United States about the trade relations be-
tween the two countries. Some figures just
prepared by the treasury bureau of statis-
tics show that the superstition that Amer-
can trade in Germany or German trade in
America is being disturbed or depressed by
existing conditions seems to be unfounded.
Certainly the United States is giving to
Germany larger percentage of her i'm
port trade than ever before and is selling to
Germany larger percentage of her eX-
ports than ever before.s
American exports to Germany increased
over IL per cent in the past six months
compared with the - corresponding six
months of the preceding year, which of
themselves We're phenemenally large and
the imports from9Germany into the United
States in the past six months were nearly
% per cent greater than those of the cor
responding six months of last year
The share of our import trade given to
Germany has steadily increased during the
past decade, as has also the share which
per cent of our imports was taken from
Germany while now Is per cent comes
iiom that country; decade ago per cent
OF our exports went to Germany, now over
IL per cent goes to that country, and in the
last half of the calendar year 1897 our ex-
ports TO Germany were So ,G32 10 and in
the last half of the calendar wear 1898
were S4O,G15,l10, an increase of nearly %
per cent.
Our exports to Germany in the last half
or the heavy export year 1897 were ST.
~ O3', and in the last half of 1898 were
$50 90, 100.
Even in meats and provisions the exports
to Germany in 1898 show marked gain IN
nearly al classes. In sailed or picked beef
the expectations increased more than %
per cent in 1898 over 1897. Exports of
bacon increased % per cent or nearly 10 :
100000 pounds; those of hams increased
from less than 100000 pounds to nearly
l2,0oo,O00 pounds; those of pork fresh and
salted, from less than 5000 900 pounds TO
nearly 13,0oO,O 600 pounds; those of lard
from 2OJ0O0,00O pounds to 23S, 900 600
pounds, while in fruits and nuts the ex-
ports of 1898 were nearly 80 per cent in ex-
cess Of those of 1896 and but slightly be-
low those of 1897.

RESTORED TO LIBERTY.
John Jacobs Had Killed the Man Who
Abused His HOsnltalify.

Presideit Mckinley exercised executive
clemency in several cases Immediately be-
fore his departure for Boston, and the pa
pers- have been returned to Pardon Clerk
Campbell of the Department of Justice
for preparation of the formal warrants.
One case is particularly interesting and
in its disposition the Attorney General and
President have restored to active life a
young man who will probably give good
account of himself in future The story is
that of John B. Jacobs, Choctaw Indian,
who Is now serving life sentence of inn
prlsonment in the Detroit House of Cor
rection.
In 1883. Jacobs, who was then twelve
years old, was living in hut in the Choc-
taw nation, and one night he gave shelter
to homeless wayfarer, sharing his hum
Bile abode with the stranger According to
the custom in that country, the boy gave
his guest blanket, took his own, and to-
gether they lay down in front of the fire.
When Jacobs awoke in the morning he
found the stranger gone, and with him all
mis- portable property, including his own
boots and blanket. Jacobs followed and
overlook the man and killed him. He was
tried before Judge Parker at Fort Smith
ARK, ana In the trial it developed that the
man ne mad Entertained, whose name was
Lee Morialno and who had so basely re-
turned ms kindness, was convict who had
Just finished term of imprisonment at
Detroit Jacobs was convicted of murder

hanged, but President Arthur committed his
sentence to life imprisonment and he was
sent to the Detroit House of Correction.
Here he became educated and learned a
trade, and made himself a model prisoner
by his uniform excellent conduct
Jacobs has always claimed that when he
overlook Moriallio he arrested the latter
and that he killed the man while resisting
him.
In his approval of the application for
pardon Attorney General Griggs Endorsed
1t as follows: The facts of the case as
stated by the district attorney would have
JUSTIFIED verdict of murder in the second
degree, but the practice of the United
states courts did not permit any discrimi-
nation by the jury as to grades of murder
degree is twenty years Imprisonment.
Prisoner having served a period which,
with allowances for good behavior amounts
to a sentence of that extent / advise that

On the back of the application is: Grant

The President also pardoned Ignacio E.
Gallego, a Mexican who was convicted in
the hrst district of Arizona last October
for smuggling a small amount of the Sc
ductive mescale across the border He
pleaded guilty and sentenced to six
months Imprisonment and 500 fine with
While in the Jail in Pima county Ariz., he
learned of a plan by other prisoners to
break Jail and informed the authorities.
Hence his pardon. The piotters were d
gang of border outlaws, including several
of the most desperate characters in that
section, and they had planned TO kill the
1ailer and guards and release all prisoners.

Advantages of Triple Screws.

eroih the engineering Magazine.
The results at Santiago showed that three
screws have tactical advantage of COM
bining economy and great power where two
sets of engines are placed on each shaft.
The New York and Brooklyn are each fit
ted in this way, and on the day of the bat
tie each was cruising with her forward
engines uncoupled., There was not time to
stop for coupling up the forward engines
which, moreover, were not warmed up and
ready for use, and. as a result. the vessels
could work only at half power. Had they
been fitted with triple Screws, the engines
not in use could have been started as soon
as they We're wainnedn up, and thus full
power would have been ATTAINED in a Short
time, even had all the engines not been in
readiness a the memeat of the sortie.
Triple screws would shave MANY aavan-

vantage possessed by twin screws in the

Max Vogel, a stage carpenter at the La

convicted by Judge Scott in the Police
Court of technical assault, and was fined
SO, which he paid.
One of the women attaches of the theater
informed the court that Wednesday after
noon last during the matinee at the thea

and attempted to push her into a dressing
room. She also stated that Vogel had on
several previous occasions addressed her
improperly.
Vogel denied the charge in toto The
court, however, held that a technical case
had been made out, and imposed the pen
