FIELD TRIALS.
Splendid Sport Enjoyed at West Point
 Yesterday.

West Point, Miss, January 2O.-Joe Cum nains and Dots Roy were the first brace in
 the second series of the United States field trials today. Joe started out by making two flushes. The judges thought he should have pointed. Soon a couple of bevies one point ed by each dog, lit on hillside in plain
 view of many spectators When the work was commenced it was point. point, by first one dog and then the other. The faster the bird work, the better Dots Roy got. Soon Joe Cummns became hacked and com menced barking at Dots Roy. The latter then ran up score along with his great nea. yesterday with the crack Pin Money that Joe Cummins could not wipe out. The heat will be long remembered by those who sa V it--one of the best ever seen. Roland, who made such a good score with Joe Cum mins Tn the first series of the neat, went to pieces and did nothing today. Pin Money ran in improved form today and did better on game, doing all the point work when she

He is Willing to Reconstruct the Lib-
 eral Party.

London, January 21.-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Standard says:
 General Weyler has made an important declaration. He says he is willing to &C., cept the war office portfolio and a liberal cabinet on two conditions-first, that the liberal party be reconstructed with his as sstance and that of his military and po- litical friends and allies. Senors Romero Robledo and Jose Canalejas, and second, that the liberal policy be aimed chiefly with prompt reorganization of the army and navy give satisfaction to legitimate aspira- tions of both business being inspired by such democratic principles as would win the support of moderate republicans.
 ''He approves Senor Sagasta decision 10 invite the cortes to discuss the peace treaty and the conduct of the war, but he is deter mined to join Sagasta after the deba' es when a new liberal party and cabinet are formed. He regards the present cabinet as utterly incapable of undertaking the regeneration of the country and its defenses and considers that the present ministry cannot survive the beginning of the coming session.
 hfhe real conservative party died, Gen eral Weyler contends, with Senor Canovas and he declares that he prefers the Carlisis to the modern conservative party, whch is bound to disappear from Spanish politics. His dictatotjal pretenslons are daily at. tracting more attention and they remind Spaniards of the era which the resto .ation was supposed to have closed in 1S75.'

ran with Roland. Don and Lena B. had work, three bevies and some single birds. Don was satisfied in showing speed, range and flushing. Pearl R. and Pickle had run over ground where many birds have been found. The birds have been disturbed so much in the last three days that they were not at home today. Pearl could only find two bevies, Pickle none.
 Jingo and Sport McAllister were the last brace in the second series to run. Both dogs went to work like veterans. Jingo soon had bevy. Sport searched all the space in view and found one bevy some of them getting up wild. The dogs covered lot of ground where game has been found in abundance, but the quail were not found today. The winer of the first heat Dots Roy, setter, is owed by Avant, Thayer and Duryea kennels of Tennessee. The winner of the second, Joe Cumrnns, setter, and may times a winner, is owned by w. w. Titus, of West Point, Miss. The third, Pin Money, setter and many times winner is owned by Edward Dexter, of Boston, Mass, The pointers did not go into the money in this stake, though some good ones com peted. The champion stakes will be com menced Monday. The weather was favora- ble today.
 The annual meeting of the United States club was held today. H. B. Duryea was elected president; N. L. Harris and E. Dex- ter vice presidents; w. B. Stafford, secre- tafy and treasurer. The club will hold next year at West Point separate derbys, mixed and aged stakes.

just powers from the consent of the gov- erned were true only in limited extent. majority of our people, he said, were with out direct representations Women, minors and imbeciles were without representation in our government and had to bear their share of taxation. They had, in other words, to undergo the burdens of our gov- ernment without any voice in it's control.
 In his discussion of the situation in the Philippines when Admiral Dewey arrived at Manila on the memorable first of May, Mr Nelson pointed out that the islanders were in a state of practical slavery under the dominion of Spain. Aguinaldo had abandoned them, he said, on the payment to him by Spain of a paltry thirty pieces of silver" which in this case was to be $S00,- 000, half of which amount the insurgent leader had already received. He maintained further that today the Philippines were rightly in the control of the chief executive of this country-as completely and legally in his control as any territory ever was Our duty is to protect the Filipinos from the anarchy and despotism that threaten them. Our duty is to breath into them the life and spirit which will enable them to enjoy and appreciate the government and privileges that are to be given to them.
 Slandered the Government
 In response to question put to him by MT Mason, Mir Nelson replied: Are we bound by any utterances or any action of ours to enslave the Filipinos? Is there single word in the utterances of the chief executive of this country or in the utter ances of any senator on this floor that leads the senator from Illinois to believe that we expect to enslave them?"
 Tn making even an intimation of such purpose the senator is slanderng this gov ernment We are to give them just, free and good government and to keep them out of the clutches of the great powers of the earth. It is our duty to thus protect them and it would be the highest cruelty for us

STOCKHOLDERS
 CONFIRM THE DEAL Addyston Company Will Build
 Its Plant LOCATED NEAR BESSEMER The Capital Stock Increased to Do the Work-Seat of Pipe Making h. dustry Being Transferred to

LOCATED NEAR BESSEMER

Cincinnati, O., January 20.-The Addyston Pipe and Steel company at the annunal meeting of stockholders voted to increase it's capital stock from it's present $,5OO, OOo to $1, 800. 900. The original s1,5OO,OOO is to be common stock, the $3OO, ,OOO increase Is to be preferred. This increase of $3OO,0OO is to be applied to perfecting the company's pipe plant near Bessemer, Ala, which will have a capacity of 25O tons per day.
 The above dispatch of the Associated Press confirms the exclusive news of The Age Herald that the Addyston Pipe and Steel company would build pipe foundry near Bessemer.
 President Daniel McLauren has spent some time in Birmingham during the past few months and closed a deal for the pur- chase of land near Bessemer. He was of- fered a site free near Pratt City, but re- fused, saying that his company desired to buy land.
 When he left the city after completing To- cal arrangements, he announced through The Age-Herad that work would begin soon after the meeting of the stockholders. He said then that there was no doubt as to their action.
 He expressed the hope that the plant would be ready for pipe making early in June. It will be one of the largest plants of its kind in the United States, turning out $50 tons per day.
 By well informed men it is considered that this is another step in the way of the trans ferring of the seat of the pipe making to the Birmingham district

Paris, January 20.-According to the Soir the court of cassation intends to conclude the inquiry by confronting Captain LeBron- Renault, who was in charge of Dreyfus at the time of his degradation with Dreyfus himself. The necessity for this confronta- tion is advanced as a pretext to justify the return of Dreyfus to Paris.
 The court also proposes, according to the Soir, to have the borderau dictated suc- cessively to Dreyfus and to Esterhazy, whose handwriting will then be compared with the original document.

A DARING ATTEMPT
To Rob the Ohio River Ticket Office
at Moundsville, Yesterday Morn
ing.

Yesterday morning about 6 o'clock a
daring attempt was made to rob the
Ohio River ticket Office at M~oundsville.
1t was probably the twenty-fifth time
but on this occasion the thieves did not
accomplish their purpose. At the above
hour the night operator was lying on
the table in the large room, where the
telegraph instruments are. and was
asleep. The men, there being two of
them, looked in through the window
and seeing the condition of things de-
liberately opened the window and one
of them was half way in when the ope-
rator was awakened by the noise. He
hastily got himself together, When the
would-be thief and his partner made
their escape, running down the railroad
and out of the city. Both men were
rather tall and middle aged. They wore
dark clothes and were rather rough
looking. Word was sent to the other
towns along the line. but no clue could
be obtained. They no doubt intended
overpowering the operator had they
gained an entrance. and would have
looted the station. The depot has been
robbed a great many times in its his
tory, but only On one or two occasions
did they get anything, The attempt
to enter it in brosS daylight was very
bold and the robbers are lucky to make
their escape so easily.

AMERICAN EXPORTS.
Prospects That the Year 1899 VIII be
Phenomenal All the World Wants


Prospects That the Year 1899 VIII be
Phenomenal = All h World Wants
American Goods.
WASHINGTON, July IA study of
the details of exports from the United
States during the fiscal year just end
ed, the bureau of statistics says shows
that every part of the world has
evinced an increased desire for Ameri-
can products. Europe is the only part
of the world which has failed to in
crease the amount Of money paid to US
for u products, and this, the bureau
says, is due solely to the plentiful sup
ply of breadstuffs in that part of the
world in 1899 as compared with 1898,
and the consequent decrease in the
price paid per bushel. To Asia, to
Africa, to South America, to Mexico,
to Canada and to the Hawaiian is
lands and Oceanica Jul sales have in
creased in quantity and value as COM
pared with the phenomenal year 1898.
To British North America the ex-
ports in the fiscal year 1899 will be in
round numbers $50, ZOO, 900, against
$4,000, 900 last year; to Mexico about
S25, 000, 900, against S21, 205, 900 last
year; to Cuba, about SIS, 900 900,
against $500, 900 last year; to Porto
Rico, $4,000, 900, against 81, 100000 in
1898; and to the entire West Indies
group $35, 000, 900 in round numbers,
against S26, 43S, 900 last year. South
America, to which our sales in the
past have not shown so rapid an in
crease as those to other parts of the
world, shows a slight gain in 1899 and
will reach a total of over S35, 900, 900,
against $33, 1921, 900 last year. To Asia
the exports of the year will be about
SAT, 900, 900, against S44, S44, 900 last
year, China showing an increase of
over SO per cent, and Hong Kong
about an equal increase, while Japan,
which purchased enormous quantities
of raw cotton and various manufactur-
ed goods from us last year, has some
what decreased her purchases in those
lines, so that the total to Japan during
the year will show a reduction of over
{, 1000, 600 compared with 1898, but an
increase of $4,000, 900 compared with
1897. Oceanica shows remarkable
gains, the total for the year being
likely to exceed $1,000 600, against
$21, 991, 600 last year, and to Africa the
exports Of the year are in excess OF
those of any preceding year.
The value of exports to the United
Kingdom for the year will be more
than $25, 900, 900 below that of last
year, while the reduction in the value
of our exports t o France will be
than $40, 000, 900, to Belgium about ST.
coo, 900, and to Spain about $4,000, 900.
This reduction occurs almost entirely
in food products, and especially bread
stuffs. The reduction in value of
wheat sent to Europe in eleven months
of 1899, compared with the correspond
ing months of 1898, is in round num-
bers SIS, 600, 900. The United Kingdom
has also reduced her purchases of live
cattle about 81, 900, 900 in the eleven
months of 1899 compared with the cor
responding months of 1898, due, it is
believed, largely to 81 increase in
price demanded by the dealers of the
United States.

ALMOST A DEADLOCK.
The Alaskan boundary Question Has Pro-
duced n Grave situation.


LONDON, July THE officials of the
foreign Office we've shown to-day the dis
patch of the Associated Press from Wash
ington, on Thursday, saying there was al
most a deadlock over the modus vivendi
fixing the Alaskan boundary, neither side
being willing to accept the provisional line
proposed by the other. The officials con-
firm the contents of the dispatch, acknowl-
edging the situation is grave and say the
present outlook is more unsatisfactory
thar at any time since February. This is
keenly regretted at the foreign office, as it
had been thought the negotiations were in
a very satisfactory state.
1t has been learned by a representative
of the Associated Press that United States
Ambassador Choate received this morning
important dispatches from Washington re-
garding the negotiations.
