TRADE WITH THE COLONIES.
A Statement Given ont by the War De-
partment.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-The war de-
paitment made public to-day state
ment of the trade between the United
states and all of her colonies under mil
itary control and with Cuba as well, for
the seven months of 1899 ending July
81, making comparisons With the year
1885, The exports from the United States
to Cuba for the seven months were $14,-
116. .993 in 1899 against $4,4S5,937 in 1895.
The imports into the United States
srom Cuba for the same period were
$40, 976, 956 in 1899 against $12,474,770 in
1898. The exports from the United
States to Porto Rico for the seven
months We're $2,299.221 against $569,llO
in 1895 Imports into the United States
from Porto Rico were $3,379,944 in 1899
against $2,253,S 800 in 1898 during the
same time.
The exports from the United states 10
the Philippine Islands from January l
to July 81 were: $685. ,109 in 1899 against
S65. 1856 in 1898. The imports into the
United States from the Philippines for
the same period were $3,374,1 134 in 1899
against $2,283, 775 in 1898. The trade of
the United States at the various islands
was stated by months shows q marvel
Gus growth of our commerce The
growth of exports by months has been
very gratifying in all the Islands and
especially so in the Philippine Islands.
The only fiscal years since 1877 show
ing for the entire twelve months Il
larger value of merchandise exported
from the United States to Cuba than IS
shown by the first seven months OF
1899, were the years 1892. 1898 and 1894
If the same ratio is maintained until the
end of the year the imports into cuba
from the United States Will be larger
than the exports from the United States
to that island in any fiscal year IN the
entire history of the trade between this
country and Cuba. The imports into
the United States from Cuba from
January / to July 81 1899, We're greater
than the corresponding imports for
either Of the entire fiscal years 1897 and
1898. If the same ratio is maintained
for he remainder of this year the i'm
ports into this country from Cuba will
exceed thirty-two millions of dollars
and more than double those of the fis-
cal year ending June 80, 1898
The imports from Porto Rico into the
United States for the first seven months
of 1899 were larger than those of any
of the proceeding entire fiscal years
since 1890, excepting 1898, while the eX-
ports to Porto Rico for, the first seven
months of 1899 have been exceeded only
by three of the fiscal years since 1887
As far as the exports from the United
States to the Philippines are concerned
for the first seven months of this year,
under American occupation, they are
larger than those of any previous year
In our history. Not merely this but
they are double those OF any year ex-
cepting the years 1912, 1854, 1860, 1870
and 1872.

Knob Department. of Lock Shop De-
strnyfd.

Branford, Conn, Sept. 1O.-The knob
department of the Branford lock works,
a branch of the Yale & Towne Manu-
featuring company, with headquarters
at Stamford was destroyed by lire
shortly after o'clock this morning
causing a loss of sevral thousand dol
lars; insured. F'ifty-two hands are
thrown out of employment and it is
doubtful if the burned plant will be re-
built The main factory of the branch
is located across the street and was not
at .all damaged. The knob shop was a
wooden building which had been erected
some thirty years previously. In 1t
We're six kilns for baking the knobs and
it is thought the fire started from one
of them becoming overheated. The ex-
plosiou of an oil stove in the residence of
Mrs. Hannah Bradley, South Main
street, at 10:45 this morning caused con-
siderable excitement but 5000 will cover
the damage.

the pride of boxing America, When
ever McGovern steps into the ring it is
q case of fight from the beginning of

Middletown, Conn, Sept. 10.-Two cars
of the Middletown Street Railway COM

collision opposite Pamaecha park about
5 o'clock this afternoon but none of the
passengers We're seriously injured, al
though there was much excitement one
car was crowded with passengers re-
turning from Lakeview, while the other
car was carrying number to the park

as usual and while descending short
steep grade at a rapid rate the collision
occurred. The motorman on the in
bound car stuck to his brakes and prob
ably prevented much more serious ac-
cident. The officials of the road refuse

SOUTH AFRICAN VAR CLOUD.
Despite Peaceful Outlook military
Preparations Continue.

London, Sept. lit is understood
that General Sir Redvers Butler will
start for Cape Town next Saturday. The
Indian authorities are chartering steam
ers to transport troops to South Africa
as rapidly as possible. Although the
aspect of affairs is more peaceful, spe-a
cial dispatches from Johannesburg re-
port the greatest anxiety there. Fifteen
hundred people left town on Saturday
and it is proposed to transfer the busi-
ness of the stock exchange to Cape
Town. The Johannesburg town coun-,
ell is appealing to the government for
power to start relief works, to meet the
exceptional distress. A dispatch from
Bloemfontein reports the distribution of
arms and considerable exodus to
Cape Colony. According to this corre-
spondent the Beers are massing on the
frontiers and there Is no abatement OF
war preparations in the Transvaal.

TO MAKE SMOKELESS POWDER
THE NAVY DEPA ARTMENT EXPECTS
no BEGIN SHORTLY.
Works at Indian Head VIII Have a
Daily Output of TWO Thousand
Pounds One Shot of One of the Thtr-
teen-Inch Gums Takes Ono Thousand
Pounds.

Washington, Sept. 10.-The navy de-
partment expects to begin the manu-
facture of smokeless powder at it's pow
der mills near Indian Head within the
next two or three months The work
on the mills has been pushed energeti-
cally and at present about twelve hun
dred mon are employed. Admiral O'Neil,
chief of the bureau of ordnance, accom-
panied by Lieutenant Seymour Of the
bureau, inspected the works last week
and was pleased with what he saw.
There are ten or twelve buildings well
along toward completion. Altogether
the group Of buildings will number
twenty-four or twenty-five, with ca
pacity Of two thousand pounds Of
smokeless powder daily. Tbs daily
output seems large at first thought, but
one of the big thirteen-inch guns of the
Indiana used one thousand pounds Of
powder at a single shot.
The various buildings of the powder
plant cover wide area about four miles
back from the liver. The general pur-
pose has beer to keep the buildings as
far apart as the requirements OF manu-
facture would permit in order to avoid
the dangers of explosion. For that
reason there is no large central build
ing, but many small ones, each hav-
ing distinct branch Of the powder
making. They are arranged also with,
view to prevailing winds, so that the
risk of having the fumes of acids borne
by the winds is reduced to minimum.
One building is used exclusively for the
picking process, another for the mixing,
another for the acids. In this way each
stage of manufacture is detached from
all the others, not only reducing the
chance of accident, but also giving
some security against widespread
damage in case of explosion in any
one stage of the process. Another pre-
cautionary measure has been the build
ing of light paper" walls at the ends
Of the building. These readily give to
the pressure of an explosion leaving
the main walls of the structure stand
ing, and materially reducing the loss
which occurs when an explosion is close
ly confined.
In order to connect the many build
ings and permit the powder process to be
carried on expeditiously complete troll
ley car service is to be in operation.

HITTER FEELING IN GERMANY.
Verdict Called One of the Greatest
Grimes of Any Age.

Berlin, Sept. 10--The Dreyfus verdict
caused feeling almost of stupefaction
in Berlin. 1t had been hoped that the
statement of the Reichsanzeiger, as en-
anating directly from Emperor William,
would have rendered impossible the rep
etition of what is described as 'one of
the greatest judicial and political crimes
of any age" 1t is agreed that the sec
ond verdict is grave political blunder,
violation of the laws of civilization
and an act of moral CoWardiCe which
the world will find it difficult to par
don, The German press attacks the
verdict as cowardly and impolitic, not
to say criminal. The Cologne Gazette
SAYS: ''It is a cowardly verdict. By
this crime the judges have imposed a
line of demarkation between France and
the rest of the world, which although
If will not prevent diplomatic inter-
course or stay the common exchange of
products. will according to all the no
tions of right justice, honor, tolerance
and ethics which the civilized world
hears with it in the twentieth century,
form q barrier only to be removed by
fine and laborous effort" The other
leading journals comment upon the ver-
diet in similar strains.
