OUR IRON AND STEEL
Constitute Big PART of fhe
Increased Exports.
They Have Doubled In Three Years
and Wiihin fiIe Same Time I'M
ports of These Materials Have
PrOporiiORsfeiy Fallen Off.

Washington, Aug. p (Spacil.)-
/ Of the remarkable growth III our sX-
portations of manufactures during the
fiscal year just ended, that of the man
ufactumes of iron and steel is the most
striking The to'sal increase in our
exports CT manufactures during the
year. as shown by the figures of the
treasury bureau of statistics. is in
round numbers $48, ,OO0, 600, and of this
increase, $33, 100000 IS in manufac-
rures of non and stsel. The total eX
ports of iron and steel and manufac-
tunes thereof in the fiscal year 1899
were $93715,9 ,951, against $40, ,406, ,8S5
in 1898, $57, ,497,S72 in 1897, $41.1G0,S ,S77
in 1896, $50, ,O00,989 IN 1895, and $29,-
900, ,264 in 1894. It will thus be sasn
that the exports of manufactures of
iron and steel in 1899 were more than
double those Of 1896 and more than
thn:ie times as much as those Of 1894
On the Other hand, The imports of
manufactures Of iron and steel con-
tinue to fall, having been during the
year but $12,098,239, against S25,-
33S, 103 in 1896 and $53,544,3 ,372 in 1881.
Thus, while the exports OF iron and
steel have besn steadily growing, the
impcE'ts have fallen, SO that they are
now less than one-half what they were
in 1896 and about one-ffth what they
weI'a IN 1891.
All the CLASSES of manufactures of
iron and steel have shared in the
growth of popularity abroad, but this
is especially marked il the higher
grades of manufactures, such as steel
rails, railway engines. builders hard
ware, machinery of all SORTS, and es-
peually thosei used in manufacturing
The number of railway engines ex-
pon5ed during the year was SIT,
against 468 in 1898, 33S in 1897, 261 in
1896, 252 in 1895, and 142 in 1894, while
the value Of the exports of locomotives
in 1899 was $4,72S,74S, against 1925
236 IN 1894.
Of the 517 railway locomotives ex-
p0I,ed during the year 69 weEt to
Rrsa.af1, SO went to Japan, 81
to China, 50 to MI=xico, so to Can
ada, SO to British East Indies. 25 to
England, % 70 Sweden and Norway,
20 to Brazil, Il to the West Indies and
IL to Africa. One interesting feature
of this large sxportatIon of Iocomo-
dives in 1899 is that 211 Of 'the 517 ex-
ported went to Asiatic countries.

HOPE FOR MRS. BOTktN
California Supreme Court Is ReveT, =

San Francisco, Aug. 2-The officials
of the Judiciary and of the police de-
partment are considerably alarmed
over the decision of the supreme court
in granting a new trial to Albert Hoff,
the murderer of Mrs. Clute. 1t Is
feared the suprsme court may take the

shortly will be heard on appeal.
The court appears to have reversed it
self in the Hoff case and peculiar in

The champion ng-distance horse
back rider of the world resides near
Allensville. Ky. He is a prominent
farmer living three and one-half miles
from that place, and owns another
farm one mile and three-quarters
from where he resides. Every morn
ing bright and early he rides to the
back of the farm where he resides,
a distance of one mile, and returns,
making two miles. Then he goes to
his other farm. distance of one mile
and three-quarters. and returns, max
ing three and one-half miles.
Then he comes to Allensville. q dis
tance of three and one-half miles. and
returns, making seven miles. That
makes twelve and one-half miles he
rides every morning. In the after
noon he makes the same trips. After
srpper he goes to Allensville and re-
turns home, making in all thirty miles
a day. He does this every day in the
year, making 11,6S0 miles a year. He
travels at least I20 miles year fish,
ing and hurting, making a grand
total of 12.400 miles a year. He has
done this steadily for twenty years,
making in all 24S,000 miles He
travels every two years a distance
equal to the circumference of the
earth, so if he had kept straight
course for the past twenty years he
would have been around the world
ten times. He is likely to keep this
up for twenty years longer.

man who claims to have at his COM

'maryels of romance as the story of
Aladdin and his wonderful lamp,
Colonel Mulberry Sellers and his for

is THISTLE will place two poles in

full current and then sit with big
mOuthed pouch or a tank at the mega
tive end and wait for the good yel-
low metal TO make its appearance
from the positive pole and drop con-
yeniently into his receptacle.
Such paltry detail as the too, too
solid rock. which ordinarily requires
a persistent and heroic drilling TO inn

current will catch up the nuggets in

But Barnato grew jealous. This was
after Telfair had put in four epilep-

getting out gold very rapidly on
plates. These plates he sent to Lon
don. and the "clean up showed the

Mr.. Telfair is Georgian and the

the modest capitalization of $100,O00,-

ton of the electrolySis idea. He is
at presen- a resluent of the county
Jail because. as e explains it, he re-
fused to pay a bill for S15 worth of
shoes a second time after he had once

The magnitude of his recent Brook.
lyn street railway transactions is sun
a matter of public interest and won
derment.
III was q historic event in railroad
finance when the Whitney Flower syn
dicate closed the colossal deal with
Tom Johnson for the seventeen street
railroads of Brooklyn.
The hours of the afternoon had
passed away. Evening had come. and
the representatives Of the allied mill
ions In traction sat with certified
checks in their hands, waiting for
Tom johnson, the Napoleon of the
situation, to come down a little in his
price.
So great was the interest at stake
that the national Sanks and trust com
panies had not closed, although il
was long after nine O'Clock in the
evening.
At last, when il was seen that Tom
Johnson would not yield, his terms
were accepted. certified checks repre-
senting millions were passed over,
treasurers and secretaries rushed
away to the banks and trust compan-
les as the lawyers added the closing
Inducements to the papers that had
been signed and sealed.
When only lad Tom Johnson was
living with his parents in Louisville,
where he received a common school

At the age of fifteen be was errand
boy. clerk. and later an assistant in

He continually heard Of the great
need of certain devices for switches
and car machinery. He was healthy
vigorous chap. with a bucketful OF
brains in his big head which he
stirred up TO advantage.
He invented new nickel-in-the-

Next he invented an automatic
