demanding money and other consider
atoms to keep Mrs. Rathom out of the
case as the perpetrator of the crime.
a paper saying that she had deserted
Rathom. This was wanted so that
Rathom could secure divorce. He
also demanded that Mrs. Rathom leave
the State. He asserted that he knew
where Mrs. Rathom had purchased the
arsenic and the candy. Rathom is of
the opinion that in some manner an
envelope was secured addressed by
Mrs. Rathom to Miss Campbell in
their friendly days, then used the en-
velope to connect Mrs. Rathom with
the crime, by pasting it on the box Of
poisoned candy.
John r. Rathom tonight stated that
he had not talked with reporter of
the Evening Post" and positively de-
MED that he had made the statements
attributed to him regarding Mr..
Scheib. He says he does not accuse
Scheib of being implicated in the mat
ter.
Chief of Police Lees is skeptical re-
garding the case, and is inclined to
believe that the candy contained no
poison when it passed into the hands
Of Miss Campbell and Mrs. Scheib He
has intimated that both women may
have taken emetics of mustard and
warm water, and possibly simulated
symptoms of poisoning after having
partaken of a little harmless confec-
tionery. The Chief does not doubt
that arsenic was found in the candy
submitted to Prof. Thomas Price for
analysis, but he does not ignore the
theory that it may have been placed in
the box after it had been taken from
the Scheib residence. He admits that
there is evidence of plot against
some one chosen to be the victim, but
as yet is not willing to make his de-
auctions public.

the probability of any one being placed

completely exonerated John r.

EXPORTS FROM UNITED STATES.
INTERESTING REPORT OF BU-
REAU OF STATISTICS.
In Every Part Of the World Il Evil
denced an Increased Desire
for American Products.

WASHINGTON, July IA study of
the details of the exports from the
United States during the fiscal year
just ended by the Bureau of Statistics
shows that every part. of the world
has evidenced an increased desire for
American products. Europe is the only
part of the world which has failed to
increase the amount of money paid
to US for our products, and this, the
bureau says, is due solely to the plenti-
full supply of breadstuffs in that part
Of the world in 1899. as compared with
1898, and the consequent decrease in
price paid per bushel To Asia, to
Africa, to South America, to Mexico,
to Canada, and to the Hawaiian Islands
and Oceanica our sales have increased
in quantity and value as compared
with the phenomenal year 1898.
To British North America the exports
in the fiscal year 1899 will be in round
numbers $9O,000,0OO, against SS5,000,
600 last year; to Mexico about $685.
100000, against $21, 205,000 last year;
to Cuba about $1S,000,OOO, against
SS260,000 last year; to Porto Rico
So, 100000, against 81, 500,O 900 last year,
and to the entire West Indian group
$35. 900, 900 in round numbers, against
$26, ABS, 900 last year. South America,
to which our sales in the past have
shown as rapid an increase as to those
to other parts of the world shows a
slight gain in 1899, and will reach a
total of over $50, 000, 900, against $33,
S21, 900 last year.
To Asia the exports of the year will
be about SAT 100000, against $44 ,S44,-
600 last year, China showing an in
crease of over 33 per cent, Hongkong
showing an equal increase, while ia
pan, which has purchased enormous
quantities the last year of raw cotton
and various manufactured goods from
us, has somewhat decreased her pur-
chases in those lines, SO that the total
to Japan during the year will show
reduction of over $3.OO0,00O compared
with 1898, but an increase of $3,000,000
compared with 1897.
Oceanica shows remarkable gains, the
total for the year being likely to ex-
coed $3O,OOO,OOO, against 21,OOO,OO0
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,OOO.00O below that of last
year, while the reduction in the value
of our exports to France will be more
than $20.000,000, to Belgium about
81 0OO,0 900, and to Spain about $1,000
0OO This reduction occurs almost en-
tirely in food products, and especially
breadstuffs.
The reduction in value of wheat sont
to Europe in eleven months of 1899
compared with the corresponding
months of 1898 is In round numbers
SIS 100000. The United Kingdom has
also reduced her purchases of live cat
tie about $7.OO0OO0 in the eleven
months of 1892 compared with the
corresponding months of 1898. due, 1t
Is believed, largely to an increase In
price demanded by the dealers of the
United States
