NEW YORK, June "a Sun special
from Washington says: Exports from
the United States to Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Hawaiian, Philippine and Sa-
moan islands will reach s45, 900 600 in
the fiscal year which ends with the
present month, and will be more than
three times as much as in 1896 and
more than twice as much as in any wear
of our commerce with those islands ex-
cept in the years 1892, 1898 and 1894 when
reciprocity greatly increased our ex-
ports to Cuba and Porto Rico
To Cuba the total for the fiscal year
seems likely to be fully S25. 900 600.
against s7,530,000 in the fiscal year 1896,
and S24,157, 900 in the great reciprocity
year 1898, when exports to that island
were more than double those of five
years earlier.
To Porto Rico the exports of the year
will be in round terms 81, 800, 900, against
an average of $3.50. 900 in reciprocity
years 1892, 1893 and 1894, when exports
to that island were double those of
earlier years.
To the Hawaiian islands the total for
the year Will be about ST., 1000 900, or
five times as much as in 1898, and near
ly four times as much as in 1896
To the Philippines the total for 1900
will be about $2,500,00O or more than in
the entire fifteen years since 1885 To
the Samoan islands the exports of the
year will be about s125, 900, or nearly as
much as in all the years since 1896.
The imports into the United States
from Cuba for the full year will show
total of s31. 900 900, against SIS, 600, 900
in 1888 and $4,000, 900 in 1897, though
they still are less than the average for
the reciprocity years.
From the Hawaiian islands the i'm
ports for the full fiscal year will be
S21 100000, or double the average an
nual importation for the period prior
to 1895, and $20,0O0,00 higher than in
any preceding year, while from the
Philippines, war conditions which re-

Great Fleet in Alaska,

One hundred and twenty-six vessels
have sailed from San Francisco for
Alaska since the beginning Of the sea-
son in March. OF these, thirty-nine
have Nome as their destination, the
first to sail being the brig Pitcairn, on
March 18th. She was the only vessel
leaving for Nome in March. There
were thirteen sailings for Nome in
April. three being steamers, the
Thrasher, Jeanne and Dora. Twenty
three left in May, including ten steam
ers, and thus far this month two YES
sells have sailed for Nome, the steamers
Humboldt and San Jose. Eighty-seven
other vessels have sailed since early in
March for other Alaskan points. most
of them being destined for the can
neries, codfishing banks or whaling
grounds. None of the Nome steamers
is expected back before a month.

Ar. The. Job. "sor, sn.n..n

The mares nest factory, known as the
Essex junction syndicate, devoted its
weekly unreeling of Nov. 10 to the sala-
ries of the secretary of state and state
treasurer and published tables showing that
the former bad drawn S7073 in less than
two veaIs, and the latter $77l7 in little
over year and four months. The legisla-
ture was flooded with free copies, telling
how these two officials were fattenng
their own pockets.
The st. Albans Messenger explains what
followed: "The amounts we're so large
that they were calculated 10 produce a
sensation and they did-until somebody
took them down to the state auditor, who
on comparing thnm with his vouchers,
found that of the amounts charged up to
the state treasurer $1,000 wss a payment on
account to the contractors who built the
addition to the state house last year and
5000 more was for vault for records at
the state house, put in during the past two
years. A similar examination of the
amounts charged to Mr.. Rowland shows
that they were for practically three years,
Dec. l, 1897, TO Nov. /, 1900, instead of
for less than two years as charged. In
both cases the fees received as insurance
commissioners paid in March cover the
year ending Dec. following, according to
the statements of the two officials on whom
the attack was made"
The Essex Record probably stopped
over in discussing this subject, as has been
its custom, but there is a suspicion in other
quarters that the offices of secretary of
state and state treasurer are sinecures,
through their regular official salaries and
the fees which come to them in their ca
paciiy as insurance commissioners. The
Vermont taxpayers have right to know
exactly what their elected servants receive,
and there ought to be no objection to max.
ing plain, direct statement to the legisla-
ture regarding the total amount of COM
pensation which Mr.. Rowland and Mr..
Bacon receive and the time which they de-
vote to their official duties. The inquiry is
not personal to these officials. It applies
equally to any PERSONS who hold these Off

We venture to suggest TO the Vermont legis-
la,ure that In passing resolution calling on Con
gress to give some special mark Of gratitude and
reward TO Capt Clark, who brought the Oregon
her famous trip to Santiago, 1t il, according to
Hnbson, affiictiDg terrible thrust at Admiral
Sampson. and doing much to emhtter the last of
his life and bring his gray hair In sorrow to the
grave. His adm rers have TAX en- the ground that
any praise for his subordinates is detraction ard
contumely for him. Possibly the Vermont egis-
lators are not aware Of the fact, but they ought
to be very careful how they continue in their pre-
sent reprehensibe course towards Sampson
Boston Record.
The reprehensible course in this matter
is the above editorial comment of a paper
which makes pretensions of enterprise,
honesty and fairness. Capt. Clark brought
the Oregon at raclHg speed 1900 miles,
and when the long journey was over the
big battleship was ready for duty. The
official records award the chief honor of
the naval battle which resulted in the
destruction of Cervera's feet to the Oregon.
Starting from poor position, she distanc-
ed all of the American vessels except the
feet cruiser Brooklyn, and actually ex-
celled her own trial record speed. Capt.
Clark had kept himself and men on short
rations of water that the boilers might be
filed with fresh instead of salt water, and
picked coal had also been placed at hand
for just such an emergency as arose. The
Oregon was an important factor in destroy
ing four of the Spanish cruisers, and but
for the eonsummate skill with which she
was handled the Viscaya and Colon would
have had good chance to escape.
Sampson, Schley, the late lamentet
Philip, and Higginson, the Massachusetts
man who was 90 miles away from the
scene Of the great battle, we're made real
admirals, and Wainwright of the little
Gloucester was honored. But Clark, with
all of his conspicuous service, actuall!
ranks lower, through the promotion o
others, than he did before the Spanish
American war. Is it "reprehensible" a
least to ask that he be honored as highll

Booker T. wsshl . E,on.

If we we're asked to point out TO the
young people of this generation an object
lesson in the possibilities of American
manhood, we should unhesitatingly refer
the boys and girls to the career of Booker
I. Washington, the head of the Tuskegee
Normal Institute. No more striking in
stance has ever been seen of a man begin
ming In the humblest possible circum-
stances and rising by the force of his own
native strength and determination to a
rare height of manly power and influence.
Mr.. Washington was born slave and was
barely old enough when freedom came to
remember the reading of the emancipation
proclamation to the negroes when they
were called up to the "big house" for that
purpose. He knew the worst pirch of
distress in the South that followed the war
for blacks and whites alike. When a mere
lad he was compelled to work in the inky
blackness of coal mine with his surround
ings perpetual terror. He was not even
allowed by his step.father to attend the
rudimentary schools then provided for the
blacks.
By chance he overheard conversation
which let him know that there was such a
place as the Hampton Normal Institute,
established by the late General Armstrong.
1t then became the one burning desire of
his heart to reach that school, get an edu-
cation and become helper to his race.
With less than half enough money to
pay his fare he finally started for Hampton
and by walking, begging and working at
length accomplished the journey. On his
arrival his plight was such that it was with
difficulty that he secured entrance to the
school. But he was finally admitted and
he literally worked his way through, sub
mitting cheerfully to every necessary dep
rivation to accomplish this result. His
autobiography now running in the pages
Of The Outlook reads like an absorbing
romance. What the man has since accom-
plished and what he now is Is we'll known
to every intelligent American. There is
not in the United States today better
type Of genuine American manhood than
Booker T. Washington. He never had
any help toward his attainments except
the help Of his own ability and consecrat
ed determination, and the rightness of
his cause. He is easily the most COM
manding platform orator now before the
public. He commands his audiences by
virtue of what he is and what he says and
not by any of the arts of the orator so.
called.
The Auditorium ought to be crowded on
his reappearance here in the Young Mems
Christian Association course next week
Tuesday evening, and the audience ought
TO be made up in large part, not only of
the school boys and girls, but of the
younger men and women of the town.

1S.S BIN .iS8 Evolves 1t. own headers.
7'& The leadership or the labor movement
is a source of difficulty. In America.
unlike the continent Of Europe, the
labor movement evolves its own lead
ers, says Father Kerby. Men of really
fine intelligence and splendid power of
organization come to the front rapidly
enough, but dishonest and Selfish men
rise as we'll. Some become extremists,
impractical; they lose influence with
the outside world and disappear.
Others who show talent and energy
in Industrial pursuits, as we'll as in
teaching fellow workmen, are advanced
in position until they are out Of the
ranks of labor entirely. Others leave
the movement to accept political pre-
ferment, sometimes driven out by the
laboring men themselves. Some re-
main, however, and become the solid,
conservative guides and chief hope Of
the movement. Unfortunately, much
Of their energy must be expended in
fighting down the radical projects con-
stantly emanating from those to whom
conservatism is foreign. Smaller lead
ers at times betray their trust and cast
suspicion on all leadership. Hence,
mistake conservatism for betrayal and
attempt to remove or injure those very
men in whom chiefly hope reposes.
