ARKANSAS WANTS PARTOFIT

Washington, March b,-one OF the

tive Little, of Arkansas, II Is under
stood that Mr., Littles opposition Is
based tipon special reasons growing

that he will propose II formally TO the

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Increase Of Exports Over Imports
Still Continues,
WHEAT SUPPLIES HOLD OUT,

New York, March 5,-Thc rise OF cot
ton to "a cents, the highest point
since January, 1893, has done much TO
stimulate business, drawing from
southern plantations and country
towns more than double tho quantity
marketed last year, distributing mil
lions to producers whose purchases OF
supplies are thus increased and swell
ling beyond all expectation, the pur-
chase OF export. But the markets both
for goods and for cotton have been
affected all over the world, and the
country will reap some benefit in n
larger excess Of merchandise exports
over imports, The market for goods
has been pushed to greater activity
though they have risen only three per
cent since the year began, while the
material has risen over 25 per cent,
The small rise in wheat last week,
although the price 10 quite low, suflced
to call from the farms such receipts, A.
OJ,OOl bushels against >, 100, d37 bushels
last year, as to indicate that supplies
are not nearly exhausted, Though ex.
ports run behind last years, which
were almost unequalled, they have al
ready exceeded in eight months those
of most full years, and the exports of
corn in four weeks, l,77I,Oi5 bushels,
against l2,05l 1853 bushels last year, eX-
plain much OF the difficulty, corn rising
thrce'quartcrs of cent during the
week, while wheat declined ~ cents.

London, March 3.-Lord Lansdowna
chose the psychological moment to an
nounce estimates exceeding Gl,000, 900
pounds and rather startled the public
py unfolding the program of the war
office to send out, in addition to the
10000 troops now aAoat, $4,000 fresh
soldiers. Lord Roberts will ultimately
have a force Of quarter of n million.
1t will be remembered that heavy
orders for guns have increased the
number OF worlSmen ut the arsenals by
by about $4,000.
These decisions to send out more
troops and to increase the home arma
ment meet with universal approval,

President Mckinley Attends its
Annual Banquet,
EXTRACTS FROM HIS ADDRESS,

New York, March O,--The Ohio clul
bt this city was present In full force al
Ia annual banquet, Among the guests
was President william Mckinley, He
spoke at some length and here are
Tome Of the things which he said
"We are neither in alliance nor an
tagonism nor ENHANCEMENT with any
foreign power, but on terms of amity
and cordiality with all. We buy from
NIL OF them and sell TO all OF them, and
BUR sales exceeded our purchases in the
past two years by over two billion dol
lars. Markets have been increased and
mortgages have been reduced Inter
est rates have fallen and wages have
advanced. The public debt is dccreas-
Ing. Tho country Is well-to'do. It's
people, for the most part, are happy
and contented They have good times
md arc on good terms with the ma
lions Of the world. There are unfor-
tunatcly those among us, few In
humber, am sure, who seem TO thrive
best under bad times and who when
rood times ovcrtalSe them in the Uni
ted States feel constrained to put us
on bad terms with the rest Of mankind.
With them have do sympathy. /
would rather give expression TO what |
believe to be the nobler and almost
universal sentiment Of my countrymen
In the wish not only for our peace and
prosperity, but for tho peace and pros
ocrity of all the nations and peoples Of
tho earth.
There can be no Imperialism, Those
who fear are against IT, Those who
have faith in the republic are against
s. So that there Is universal abhor-
renee for IL and unanimous opposition
TO II, Our only difference Is that those
who do not agree with us have no con-
Ndcnce in the virtue or capacity Of
high purposes or good faith Of this
free people as civilizing agency. No
political cutlery can abrogatc our treaty
Of peace with Spain or absolve us from
its solemn engagements 1t is the
peoples question and will be until its
determination is written out in their
enlightened verdict. We must choose
between manly doing and base descr-
ton,
ut is not possible that seventy.fve
millions of American freeman are UNI
able to establish liberty and justice
and good government in our new
possessions, The burden Is our OPP.
portunity, The opportunity is greater
than the burden, May God give us
strength to bear the one and wisdom
TO embrace the other as to carry to our
distant acquisitions the guarantees of
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness ~
