Effect on American
Trade of War
with China
Statement of Member of Nc
Kinley's Cabinet.

"War with China would certainly
be detrimental to American trade
with that Empire.n
This statement was made to-day
by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson.
He continued
"For the time being American
thade would be destroyed because
the merchant would not be able to
reach the interior of the Celestial
Empire with his goods. OF course
there would be special demand for
wheat, oats, bIeadstuffs horses and
mules, and the United States qoould
have to meet the demand of the al
lied armies, consequently the expor-
tation of cereals and animals would
be increased many fold. On th5
other hand, there would ne a mark
ed falling off in general trade, espe-
cially in such exports as cotton ma
nufactures, kerosene oil, iron and
steel manufactures. tobacco, lumber,
manufactures Of wood, parts of clocks,
books, maps, engravings, perfume
ry and cosmetics, scientific instru-
ments, patents medicines, paper,
carriages, &C., and leather.
"The total value of these articles
OF export in 1898 was $9,296,521.
The value of wheat exported to Chi.
ma has averaged barely 100000 a
year for several years, On the other
hand, the value of wheat -four ex.
ported in 1898 to Hong Kong, much
Of which undoubtedly went into Chi.
ma, amounted to $3,S35,727. The
total value of our agricultural ex-
ports direct to Chinese ports in 1898
amounted to 1906, ,549, the principal
items being raw cotton, wheat -four,
ginseng, malt l'quors, canned beef,
milk, canned fruits and leaf tobacco.
"TO show how remarkable has
been the growth OF our trade with
China it is only necessary to give a
few statistics as to commercial rela
tions for ten years. From 1899 to
1899 there was a gain of S13, ,293,
168. The increase was almost enti-
rely in exports. which advanced in
value from $2,791.12S in 1899 to
$14, ,493, ,44O in 1899. Our import s
for 1899, amounting to e1S,619,26S,
were only slightly larger thant in
1899, when a value of @l7,02S,412
was reported.
"Taking these figures as a basis,
it is easy to see that war would, for
the time Seing, increase agricultural
exports beyond the average of five
per cent for the past ten years, but
would practically stop the exporta.
tiOn to China of other American
products that in ten years has aver
aged ninety-fiye per cent. War
would also interfere materially with
our import trade from China, which
for the years from 1894 to 1898, in.
elusive, averaged annually $2O,OS6..
832. The principal commodities
were tea, $7,O62, ,725; raw silk, S..
O62, ,S25, and wool, raw 81, ,4OO,S55

The Cuban Teachers
at Harvard.

Reports from Boston indicate that
net only have the Cuban teachers
enjoyed their trip so far, and have
been delighted lcith the reception
they have received and the arrange.
mentS made for their pleasure and
comfort, but that the people of BOs-
ton and Cambridge are greatly plea.
sed with their visitors.
Indeed, it may be said thai they
are agreeabIy surprised. The Anne
ricans have been much struck with
the appearance, intelligence and good
breeding of the Cubans, and are
doing all in their power to make the
visit of the latter an agreeable one.
AS for the teachers, they are enthus.
iastic over the new scenes presented
to them. The women, especially,
have found almost inexhaustible
sources OF delight In the great dep
artment stores of Boston.
The men and women are both
bright and eager to learn. At the
Collage the lessons have recently
begun, but before that they had
started to PICK up the language.
Some who knew nothing of it before
have already made progress by per
sistent effort, and those who have
read but not spoken the lang uage
have amazed some of the Harvard
students with their knowledge Of
good English.
1t was not expected that the stu
dies would be the principal object of
the expedition, although English is
made an important branch by appear
ing on the programme every day
with instruction to small sections.
The othe, courses are mostly by lec-
lures in Spanish before the whole

from the physical standpoint or
physiogeography. as President Eliot
called it, the history of the Spanish
colonies, and the history of the Uni

lecture to the alternate, occupy the

visit, is, however, to afford an insight
into the nature of our republican
civilization, and for the women it
was especially intended that t.ey
should get idea of American home
life. For that reason they were all
placed in private houses of Cambri

The ship Iroquois, Captain Thompson,
arrived this morning, 2S days from
Seattle, making the best time Of any
among the list of vessels delayed by
the bad weather. The most interesting
part of her cargo is the balance of the
rails and machinery for the Rapid
Transit Company.
Pain has gone to the coast to look
after stuff for his company, being GER
tain that he will get a franchise and
go ahead and build when the legisla-
ture meets, and the Rapid Transit
Company is so sure that it will be al
lowed to built that it actually has the
stuff here. The Iroquois has about
$3.50 tons of material for the Transit
company, practically completing the
shipment of everything needed for the
company.
There are 1882 rails on board and all
the heavy machinery for the power
house, motors, etc. On the ship John
Currier, which is expected here any
day now, are POI poles, which will finish
the shipments. Meanwhile the building
of the road is not going on very fast,
but the people of Honolulu have the
abiding satisfaction of knowing that
everything needed for the road is here.
Beer by the ton also came on the
Iroquois. The thirstiest man in town
can drink all he wants now without
feeling that he is being selfish and pos
sibly depriving others of chance, for
it will be some time before local stocks
of the amber fluid run low again.
There are 5000 barrels of bottled beer
and large shipment of cask beer on
the big windjammer, which brought a
cargo amounting altogether to 300
tons, one Of the largest received here
for some time.
Two heavy steam rollers for the street
department. are another reason for Ho-
nolulu giving hearty welcome to Cap
tain Thompson. They weigh about 49,
600 pounds each, and will be a great
aid to Road Superintendent Campbell.
The Iroquois had a slow trip down,
but not so slow as the other recent
arrivals. Had she arrived a few days
ago she would have found the harbor
empty. AS it is she is anchored in the
stream, waiting for a wharf, every
berth being occupied where the water
is deep enough for her. On Monday
she will go to the Mail wharf and dis
charge there till she is light enough tc
be taken to the upper end of the har-
Dor.

CAN SHIP GAME AS BAGGAGE.
Judge Kelly So Rules in the Nc
y GrcROr. Case.

Judge Kelly So Rules in the Nc
GrcgOr, Case.
st. Paul. Mimi. Sept. 81. - Judge
Kelly yesterday granted the ap-
Rlication of Charles McGregor for a writ
OF habeas corpus and ordered his release
from the county Jail. where he had been
committed to await the action of the
grand jury on a charge of having in his
possession game unlawfully shipped to
the city. The game consisted Of sixteen
prairie chickens. supposed to have been
shipped by the young mans father. who
was said to be out hunting. When ar
rested the boy had just received from the
baggage department at the union depot
the valise in which the game was packed.
He refused to give any information as to
who had sent in the game.
In the absence Of proof to the contrary,
Judge Kelly holds that the fact that the
boy had the baggage check for the valise
is prima facie evidence that he either
shipped the game himself and came in
on the same train. or represented some
person who did, and simply went to the
depot to get the piece of baggage. Hav-
Ing game shipped as baggage, the court
thinks, is not unlawful shipment when
the shipper accompanies it on the same
train. To say that it is, the court says,
would reduce the meaning of the law to
absur1ity, for 1t would be tantamount to
restricting the hunter to the consumption
Of his game ON the spot where he killed
it, Eas it would be equally unlawful to
have 1t hauled to a station by any ex-
cept his own conveyance.

Report OF the, state Dairy and Food
COmmission ON Minnesota Cheese

y
Report Of the. state Dairy ana Food
Factories. @ 81 ~, !,
st. Paul. Mimi. Sept. e., - A spe-
cial report on the cheese industry
In. Minnesota, issued yesterday by the
dairy and food commission states that
Minnesota can never be a great cheese
producing state so long as the price OF
beef remains at the present figure. The
Increase in the number of cheese factories
In the state commented on as being in.
adequate to meet the growing consump-
ton of the product at home.
\ A. j. Glover, the commissions cheese
expert. bases his conclusions upon re-
cent investigation during which he visited
each of the fifty factories in the state.
He finds that cows bring better prices
for beef than for dairy stock. Where
creameries are numerous they take all
the available milk product in the terri
tory tributary to them. In some cases
even the creameries are pushed to obtain
enough milk. These conditions limit the
field of cheese factories. The opinion is
advanced that there is still opportunity
to extend the cheese business by operat-
Ing factories in localities where the milk
supply Is insufficient for a creamery.
The report calls attention to the un.
equal competition which Minnesota fac.
tories are forced to meet in the ship.

and records Of performances. BY indi-
tviduals and BY groups. shows decided
advantage for cows Of q distinct dairy
type. According to the observations
MADE upon this herd It would appear
that. In the absence Of actual records:
which are the final test Of merit in
every COW. the type Of a COW Is q
much better index Of her ability for
economical production than Is her
pedigree alone.
Every dairyman should have water
running directly into his barn. and
have the faucets SO arranged that it
will require but little work when the
time comes for watering the cows. On
good many farms the farm well is
still the only source of water, and all
water for the stock has to be taken
from this we'll. This means a great
deal Of hard work, and, too often, the
stinting of the cows. We have known
farmers that held to this system for
lifetime. They were not financially
crippled. but seemed to never think
that any other system of watering
stock was possible. Even where the
old we'll is to be used. it costs but lit
tie to run pipe from it to the barn.
with good pump at the end.
