College Park, Md. Jan. l9-The black
peach aphis has done great damage to the
peach orchards of the State the past two
seasons. Great injury has been done to
the unfolding buds in nurseries and to
In one instance the pest was found in
single block of trees in which over a mil
lion seedlings were budded last season.
At another place block of 500, 900 trees
was seriously damaged Trees badly at
tackled by this insect are conspicuous even
al distance. The leaves are yellowish
more or less clustered. many of them being
curled and spotted. The result is that The
tree is dwarfed and stunted. and in the
case of young buds in the nursery they
are killed outright in very few DAYS
The insect is sometimes called the black
peach louise.
OF the remedial measures suggested and
tried by the Maryland Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station. spraying with kerosene
emulsion was found 10 be most effective

FOREIGN COMMERCE.
OF THE PAST Year
Largest Exports in the History
of America.
A Decrease of More Than 500,
600, 900 in Imports.
The Record of 1898 as Compared
With That of 1S97-Tables Show
ing Comparisons.

The story of the foreign commerce OF
largest in our history its imports the
smallest since 1885, although the consum-
ing population is now SO per cent greater
than at that time. And as il to empha-
size the great work of this greatest year
the month of December made for itself the
highest record of exports ever made by
any month in our history.
The total exports of December were
sl37. Pa, ,44S and of the full calendar year
81, ,254, 1926 169. Only two earlier calendar
years crossed the billion dollar line, that
of 1897. having been 81 ,099, 709, ,045 and 1896,
s1,005, ,S57, ,241.
The largest record of any month prior TO
that just ended was that of November,
1898. which was 1929, 7S0.014, while only
sixteen months in our history ever crossed
the one hundred million dollar line in ex-
ports.
Three months of the calendar year 1891
and three months of the calendar year,
1896. showed exports in excess Of $l0O,O00
600. four months in 1897 while six OF the
twelve months of 1898 showed exports OF
more than $100, 900, 600 each, and the full
year averaged more than one hundred mil
lion dollars for it's entire twelve months.
The imports of the year are as notable as
the exports but for reverse reasons, being
the smallest since 1885, although the con-
suming population is as above indicated,
80 per cent greater than at that time. They
amount to only $633. .664 ,634 against s742,-
623. 1893 in 1897. Thus the year shows an
increase of more than Sl50,OO0,000 in ex-
ports and decrease of more than $leO O,OOO,-
600 in imports, giving by far the largest
excess of exports ever known in our COM
merce.
The total excess Of exports of merchan-
disc is s621 ,260, ,535. against 1857 ,0S0,sli n
1897, which was. the highest record prior
TO 1898.
The largest exports in our history
coupled with the unusually small imports
were naturally accompanied by the arg
est net importations of gold.
The total gold importations for the year
were Sl5S, ,036 252, and the total god eX-
portations s16.194 954, making the excess
of imports of gold for the year S1i1,oi1,-
29S The largest gold Importation of any
preceding year that of 1896, when II
amounted to but s1G4 731, ,259, and when
the excess of imports over exports was
only 46474 1863 while only two years in
the decade, 1886 and 1898 show any excess
of imports of gold The total imports CT
silver most of which comes in with lead
ore, were during the year s29029.l2 a
sum larger than that OF any earlier ysars
save 1896 and 1897. while the exports.
stated in bullion value (except coins Of
the United States exported. were $j3,-
79I, ,104 sum larger than that of any
preceding year except 1895, 1896 and 1897.
The following table shows the imports
and exports of merchandise in the calen-
dar years from 1883 TO 1898. the excess Ct

NOTABLE WAR CAREER OF
MAJOR JED" H0TCHkISS
NOTED CONFEDERATE SOLDIER
Many of StonewaIl Jnckson's Clever
Coups Made Possible by His En-
Eineering Skill.

Staunton, Va, Jan. 19.-Major Jed
Hotchkiss who died Tuesday night at his
home The Oaks in the suburbs of this
city, had been in declining
health for several years, and only a short
time ago returned from hospital in
Richmond, where he had an operation
performed in the hope that his heath
would be restored. To a certain extent
he was considerably relieved and enjoyed
fairly good health for some time there
after, but ten days ago he was again
taken i'll. At first, however, his Illness
was not regarded as at all serious, and
only in the last day or two was his life
despaired of.
Major Hotchkiss was the son of Stiles
and Lydia Beecher HOtchkiss. He was
born in Windsor y Y, on November 30,
1928, and was, therefore. seventy years o.
age at the time of his demise. He came
TO Virginia in iS47 and for number of
years devoted himself to teaching school.
He was the founder OF several academies,
among the number being Messy Creek
Academy and the Lcch Willow School at
Churchville. Being intensely Southern in
his sympathies, when the war broke oJt
he enlisted with the Confederate army
and went with Lee 10 West Virginia,
where he performed able service in the
battles that were fought. He was Stone
wall Jackson's chief engineer until Jack
sons death and also served on the stats
of Generals Ewel1 and Early. who sue
ceeded Jackson -.-
1t may be fairly said that Major Hotch-
kiss was both eye and arm TO Jackson. and
many OF Jacksons clever coups were made
possible by his splendid engineering sAill
I.a riR md ri1- iaf in
the two Nirginias, and not only could he
plan routes for Jackson's army. but he
built the roads and bridges for Stonewall 5
brigades.
After the war he set to work TO repair
his broken fortunes and met with hand
some measure of success though the
search for scientific truths concerned him
rather than the search for wealth He
was an indefatigable worker and 10 him
in large degree was due the credit OF dis
covering the mineral wealth of Virginia
and West Virginia. He travelled North and
West and even went abroad TO tell The
story of The mineral magnificence Of his
adopted State. and his labors were re-
warded by the sight OF millions of outside
money invested in Virginia and West Nir-
ginia properties. Few men in the State
equaled him in range Of information. He
seemed TO take all truth for his province,
and he literally brOwsed over the hills OF
scientific literature. botany. social science
and theology.
Major Hotchkiss was a member of the
Presbyterian Church, having conneeAd
himself with that denomination while liv-
ing at Messy Creek.
He leaves wife. who before marriage
was Miss Sara Comfort, of Pennsylvania
and two daughters Mrs. :. T Mccullough
and Mrs. Allen NJ. Howison, both of this
city.

PROPOSED RAILROAD
Would Give the Southern n Through
Line Into Norfolk.

Norfolk, Va Jan. IA private letter
received here says that it is reported that
the proposed railroad from Snow Hill TO
Pante Go, " c.. is being backed by the
Southern Railway. 1t is said that the
Southern owns majority of the stock in
the Norfolk and Southern road, which
terminates at Pante Go. and that il is
their purpose to extend this proposed 70 nd
TO some point on their system. probably
TO Goldsborc', making through line OF
its own. with deep-water terminus at
Norfolk. At present the Southern is pay
ing the Atlantic Coast Line large sum
fer the privilege of using the track of tbs
latter from Selma 10 Norfolk so that il is
reasonable to believe that the Southern is
backing this proposed road. for a line OF
its own from Goldsboro TO Norfo k would
be a great saving and OF much advantage

the recent free and uneredited use the
Hon. William J. Bryan has made OF the mi

This report was prepared by Mr. Hay. IL
opposes the proposed increase OF the size
OF the military establishment. Recently
Mr.. Bryan was in Washington and sent
for Mr.. Hay to visit him, but pressing en-
gagements prevented him from doing so.

leader copy OF his report. Mr.. Hay was
much surprised when he saw this quoted
from freely in one of Mr.. Bryan's recent
speeches without credit. This, however,
the Congressman did not care for. but he
did object to the facts in the report being
given out before it was submitted TO the
House.
