ator Clark hat the matter shall go
over until Monday; that no effort shall
be made to get action On the committee
resolution tomorrow, n that if Mr..
Clark's credentials arrive previous to
that time they shall not be presented
before Monday. This is due to the
fact that there are already a number
Of special orders for tomorrow in the

preceded by a discussion of the va
rious points involved in the ccntro-
versy. including the proper course to be
pursued with reference to Mr.. Clark's

NEW LAW WANTED
To Cover Gases of People Like De-
faulter Nicely.

Washington. May 1S.-The Post says:
Congress must come to the aid of the
administration in bringing c. F. w.
Nicely, the Cuban ~defauIter, to justice.
A new law must be enacted, and en-
acted at once, which will tighten the
governments hold on him. Every loop
hole of escape must be closed.
Attorney General Griggs has already
made his appeal to congress. Yester-
day afternoon he forwarded to Senator

AREcoRD BREAKING P R

The fiscal year 1900 continues to break
all records in the matter Of exporta-
lions. April is an example Of this fact.
The total exports in April, as just an
bounced by the treasury bureau of sta
tistics, are Sis, 926. 507. which is $20,O0O,-
600 more than in any preceding year,
$780, 900, 900 more than April of last year
and double that of April, 1898. Never
before has April, which is usually a
light export month, reached the $780,
900. 900 mark in it's exports.
Every branch of industry END its aid
to this increase. The total figures for
the month of April have not yet been
sufficiently Analysed to show the exact
increase in each case, but an analysis
of these for the month of March shows
that agricultural exports in that month
were SIS, 900, 900 greater than in the cor
responding month Of last year, that
manufacturers were $4,000, 900 in excess
of the corresponding month of the pre-
ceding year; that products of the mine
We're nearly so per cent in excess of
those of the corresponding month of
1899, while products of the forests, the
fisheries, and those grouped as miscel-
laneOus all showed an increase. The
advance in prices of cotton, corn, oats,
wheat and provisions accounts in part
for the increase in the value of agricul-
tural exports. while there is also an in
crease in quantity exported, especially
in cotton. and the advance in values
also accounts in part for the great in
crease in exports Of manufactures.
It is now apparent that in all the
great classes Of our exports the record
Of the year 1900 will exceed that of any
earlier year. In the nine months ending
with March exports of agricultural pro
ducts were SIS. 600. 900 greater than those
of the corresponding months Of 1899
manufactures We're $40. 200, 900 greater
than those of the same months in the
preceding fiscal year. products of thJ
mine exceeded those of the correspond.
ing months OF 1899 by 80 per cent, those
of the forest showed a like increase, and
fisheries and miscellaneous also showed
a gain over the corresponding month,
of the preceding fiscal year, and will
the phenomenal increase Of $50, O0O, OO
in April, 1900, as compared with April
1899, it is quite apparent that the rec
ord Of the yea which ends less than 6
days hence will exceed that Of any ear
