NEW YORK,
The American Metropolis Now the
Greatest Shipping Port in the
World Some Remarkable
Figures.

After three centuries of undlsturbed
supremacy, London has at last been
forced to yield her proud position as
the foremost commercial city of the
world. Like many another trophy of
old-world power and influence, this
distinction has at last crossed the At
lantic to America, and now rests with
the city of New York. Although Lon
don had large population and a wide
commerce when the first settlers built
their log houses on Manhattan Island,
1t has taken the new world city little
more than a century to catch up with
her venerable rival. New York scarce
ly began to have commercial import
ance until after the close of the revolu-
ton, and even at the beginning of the
nineteenth century her trade was only
one-tenth that of the British metro
polls Not even the most sapguine OF
Americans dared to prophesy fifty
years ago that before the close of the
nineteenth century New York would
replace London as the most important
seaport in the world. Even so recent
ly as ten years ago the struggle be-
tween New York and Hamburg for
second place was much more close
than the race between the American
city and the British metropolis. But
in the year 1893, which Is likely to be
remembered as a momentous one in
the history of the United States, the
port which Hendrix Hudson discover
ed 2S9 years ago, not only drew safely
away from the busy town at the mouth
OF the Elbe, but surpassed the lordly
city of the Thames as we'll.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Vanderlip is authority for the state
ment that New York is now In a posi-
ton of supremacy among the CONNER
cial cities of the world. Mr.. Wander
lip says:
II am glad to be able to announce
that the forthcoming annual report OF
the commissioner of navigation con-
tains the statement that New York is
or at least is about to become, the first
seaport in the world. The figures on
which this statement is based are
those giving the tonnage OF vessels re-
ported as entering and clearing from
the port of New York in the foreign
trade only, since no record OF coast
wise trade is kept in American ports
The tonnage figures for the last fiscal
year for the port OF London are mol
available as yet, but in the preceding
year London gained 215,000 tons to
New York's increase of 1, ,131 ,727. The
monthly reports for the present year
thus far indicate that New York has
maintained her advance, while Lon
don has certainly not increased hers
This puts New York into the first
place, SO far as ocean commerce IL
concerned. ~"

York gained $137 $3.50, 1888 while London

ceding year, while London showed an
other slight gain. But 1898 has prov
ed to- oe banner year. Exports of
merchandise have advanced fully $3.50, :
100000, greater gain than has been
shown by any preceding twelvemonth.
Imports of merchandise have not ad-
yanced, but there have been heavy i'm
ports of gold to put the figures UP. Al
together New York's foreign trade for
1898 will not be less than 81 300, 600, 900
while that of London is computed
at $1,2O2. .2O7,S47.
Although New York is thus raised
to honor and renown, the achievement
is lnino sense local one. 1t Is a vic
Iory for the whole United States, a
peaceful conquest In the domain of
commerce in which every section OF
the country can jus .ly claim a share.
The steel and iron industries OF Penn
sylvania the cotton OF the south, the
food products of Chicago. the copper
OF Michigan, the wheat OF the north
west and the cattle from the states be-
yond the mississippi and the Missouri
have all contributed to swell the vol
ume OF exports to point never attain
ed before, while the whole country has
used the manufactured goods brought
from Europe through New York. The
metropolis has served merely as the
gateway OF the country.
A brief examination OF the figures
shows this fact very plainly. N the
most prosperous years-between 1890
and 1S97-Our exports exceeded i'm
ports by about 5000, 100000. In 1898
the excess reached the astounding flg-
nre Of over $615.OOO.OOO OF wheat and
wneat products twice as much was
shippea as in the preceding year. OF
corn ls.OOO.O0O more bushels were sent
aJroad. Meat and live stock showed a
similar gain. and for all of these pre-
yailing prices were good.

The trust has recognized the cana

reason this branch of the wire business
has risen with the demand for wire
goods themselves. Instead of contem

people, there is already large increase

Gen. Miles then left the witness chair
and Lieut.. Col. Van Horne of the Thr-
teenth infantry was sworn. He said he
was at the outbreak of the war major
OF the Twenty second infantry and was
through the entire Cuban campaign.
Witness said he mad used all kinds,
canned, corned, refrigerated and canned
roast beef. The criticisms of canned
roast beef began early and were made
often. 1t was objected 10 on the score
of its lack of nutriment, It's taste and
its appearance. After the men got
cooking utensils tney stewed their
canned beef. Before that, they ate it
from the can. Either way OF serving it
was bad enough, and though none of
1t that witness remembered was actual
~ spoiled; it was unpaiat6ble and the
ground of constant complaint. Witness
did not recollect that the large sick list
of his regiment in Cuba had been laid
at the time to the canned meat. The
men were very debilitated, but he could
not say whether the meat ought to be
blamed or not.
When the refrigerator beef arrived a
large part of it was spoiled, and the
men continued to use the canned meat.
The spoiled refrigerator beef was laid
out ON the Hill for the buzzaTds Sew
eral issues were lost in this way.
Witness had eaten some refrigerator
beef which arrived in camp untainted,
and found it good. The men ate it with
out complaint, and he had no reason to
balleVe it was any different from beef
ne mad gotten at army posts in the
states. Lieut.. Col. Charles W Miner
OF the Sixth infantry. was the next
witness. His regiment reached Cuba
and disembarked on June %. Canned
roast beef was issued as a travel ration
When II left Tampa, and until the end
or the siege. 1t was replaced with re-
frgerated beef after the SURRENDER
Meantime, he said, absolutely no fresh
meat could have been furnished during
the siege. Complaints against the cam
ned beef became general about July 9
He said he was using it, and when
opened it was apparently fresh bnt
stringy and absolutely without nollr-
LSnment, and when cut, it fell to pieces.
/ Inc men could not and did not eat it,
Il believe then, and believe now" he
SAID, that the beef had been used for
making beef extract, and the nutri
ment taken out. 1t appeared to have
! been boiled to pieces"
Col. Miner said he knew nothing of the
method of canned beef preparation. His
regiment was in good condition until
ABOUT July 3, after which it deteriorat-
- suuueIhS ana generally. When they
became weak and sick, the men did not
want meat. Asked if during the siege
ne had made an effort to get other meat
ne said he had not that there was not
| a piece OF paper in the command. and
they merely waited for what was
brought up from behind, distance of
II miles.

the matter Of rations. Examined as
to refrigerated beef, he declared it was
excellent and satisfactory. and no com
| plants about it We're heard Only one
quarter was spoiled. He was unable

| tween the refrigerated beef issued in
cuba and that which had been issued
