ADVERTISING RArEs.
METeoRs NOT DUE.
An Error Has Been Made and the Loo
nids VIII BE Here Next Year.

Washington, Nov. 20.-"The shower
Of Leonids will not occur this season.
The brilliant spectacle has been an
nounced one year too soon." This an
uouncement has just been made by DR..
L. J. See, one OF the most advanced as
tronomers in the government service.
Astronomical calculations have not
erred as to the periodicity OF the
Leonids," said DR.. See, "but the gen.
orally accepted conclusion as TO the
time it takes the Leonids to pass the
earth's orbit has been wrong. After
the most careful observations made
| with the best instruments In the SER
vice of the government, and after the
most unerring calculations in strict
conformity to astronomical laws, am
thoroughly convinced that the period Of
passage Is two years, instead Of one, as
heretofore believed.
| 1.-THE Leonids have been within the
earth's orbit for year now, and will
remain with us for another IL months.
The meteoric shower has not been as
heavy this time as there was good
scientific reason for believing 1t would
be. That is because we have not yet
struck the thick part Of the trail. By
my calculations, this collision will oc-
cur in the middle OF November, 1900.
Then the resultant display of burning
meteors will be as brilliant as the one
observed by Humboldt in Venezuela in
1899.
''The present visitation is counter.
part Of that in 1868. At that time
there were displays In two years, that
OF 1862 being about as feeble as the
present has been, and that Of the sue
ceeding year being nearly as striking
as that recorded by Humboldt"

Chief Engineer's Approval.

Washington, Nov. 2l.-The report
of the engineers in favor of an improve
ment at the mouth of the Columbia
river to secure 40 feet of water over the
bar, will be sent to congress with the
approval of the chief OF engineers. The
opinion of the engineers is that the pro-
posed improvement is one OF the mott
important to be presented to congress.
1t is expected that favorable action by
congress looking to the 40-foot channel
will be followed Immediately with
another proposition for channel of 30
feet from the mouth of the Columbia
to Portland. Those who are familiar
with the commerce Of the river and
conditions now existing say both these
improvements should be made with the
least possible delay.

held in 81 800 bail for trial on the

here on similar charge.
On that occasion, it was testified

this city from Washington by Lieuten-
ant Rodgers. Two of these, George
Kirkland and w. H. Cook, imperson-
ated election officers In the thirteenth
division of the second ward and assisted
in the alleged falsifying of the returns
and the stufing Of the ballots, while
the others, 1t was testified, were en-
ployed as repeaters.
Kirkland testified against his COM
panions, saying that he came here at

OVER TWO BILLIONS
Foreign Commerce of 1899
Breaks Ali Records.
A REDUCTION IN BREADsTUFFs
But This Loss Is More Than Onset by
Our Astonishing Sales of
Merchandise.

Washington, Nov. 21.-The foreign
commerce OF the United States seems
likely to make it's highest record Of the
century in the closing year of that Pc
riod. The October exports are larger
than those Of any preceding October,
the total for the 10 months ending with
October is greater than the total for the
corresponding period in any preceding
year, and it is apparent that for the
first time in our history the foreign
commerce OF the year will exceed ST.
900, 900, 900. For the 10 months end.
ing with October, 1899, the figures of
the treasury bureau OF statistics show
the total exports to be 81, ,029, 242, 900,
while in the corresponding months of
last year they were 1887 ,879, 900.
This remarkable increase in exporta-
tions is the more surprising because Of
tbs absence of the excessive demand
abroad for onr breadstuffs, which char.
acterized the year 1898. In that year
the short crops abroad and plentiful
supplies OF breadstuffs of all kinds in
the United States resulted in an abnor
mally large expectation of breadstuffs,
SO that the expectation of agricultural
products in the present year naturally
falls about $50, 900, 900 below that Of
the corresponding period of last year.
Yet the total expectations for the 10
months are, as already indicated, more
than $40, 900, 900 in excess OF those oI
last year.
1t is easy, however, to find the cause
of this remarkable growth in our total
expectations, which occurs in the face
of the reduction of our expectation oil
breadstuffs. An examination of the
detailed figures OF the nine months OF
the year already accessible shows that
the exports of manufactures in that
period were $50, ,000,0 in excess OF
those of the corresponding months oi
the preceding year, and $65, 900, 900
greater than those of the same months
of 1897, while the products of the
mine were $4,000, 900 greater thar
those of the corresponding months o.
last year, and those of the forest &c..
000. 900 In excess of the corresponding
months of the preceding year. Thus the
years expectation of agricultural pro
ductions will be quite up to the nor
NAL, while those of manufacture, min
ing and forestry will exceed those o
last year, and indeed, of any year in
our history.
Imports have increased moro thar
exports, for they were unusually low il
1898. while exports were unusually
high in that year. The total importa
tion in the 10 months ending with DC
tober, 1899, is $65S, SIS, 900, agains
1927 .7S4, 900 in the corresponding
months of last year.

New York, Nov. 1S.--A special to

Judge Chambers, of Alabama, chief
justice OF Samoa, disSussing the Sa-
moan position and the islands acquired
by the United States, said:
''The United States will have no
difficulty about the government of her
Samoan possessions. The natives are
of an amicable disposition, and educa-
ton is general among them. They
have a strong love for the United
States and ask nothing better than to
be governed by Americans. A naval
governor will probably be sent to the
islands, as in the case of Guam, and
the natives should, as they doubtless
will, be permitted to preserve as far as
possible their own methods Of govern
ment and their most cherished Gus
toms.
'The man whom the Samoans would
most like to have appointed governor is
Captain Leary. who is now governor OF

ApuLTERATloN OF FOOD.
More Evidence Is Collected by Senator
Mason.


Mason.
New York, Nov. 20.-The United
States senate committee, represented by
Senator Mason, of Illinois, today re-
sumed its investigation into the adul-
teration OF food prepared for market.
DIR. Edward II. Jenkins, an agricul-
tural chemist, and vice-director of the
Connecticut agricultural experiment
station, declared that the general adul-
teration OF food products had increased
with business competition and the de-
mand for cheap wares. In his five
years. experience, DIR. Jenkins said he
had found only one adulterant that was
poisonous, and that was q coloring
matter in temperance drink. Coco
shells, prune stones and like. he testi-
fed, sold as spices. None of these
adulterants, except the one color. was
hurtful to health, but all were frauds
on the consumer. More than half the
iellies examined were made of glucose
and starch paste, colored with artific-
ial coloring, favored with artificial
favoring, and preserved with salycilic
acid. The cheaper grades OF coffee
were found to contain large proper
ton of Canada peas, pea pellets, wheat
middlings and chicory.
