IRON AND STEEL EXPORTS.
Marvellous Increase in the SHIPMENTS
Abroad,

No feature Of the marvellous growth of
our foreign commerce is more striking than
that relating to exports Of iron and steel
The total foreign commerce of the United
States in the year just ended has for the
first time crossed the two billion dollar line
and the total exports of manufactures of
iron and steel have for the first time
crossed the one hundred million dollar line.
In the calendar year 1880 the total exports
of iron and steel amounted to 7,OOO, 600,
and in 1899 they were $1O5, 0s9. 645. Mean
time the importations Of manufactures CT
iron and steel have decreased with nearly
equal rapidity. the importations Of 1880
being s44,544,14o. and those of 1899. 49,
799, 2O6.
One especially striking feature of this
rapid growth in our expectations of manu-
features Of iron and steel Is the fact that
European countries are taking largely from
US in these lines. In builders hardware
for instance, the united kingdom took
year just ended, Germany more than one
million dollars in value, France $685., S57
ard other European countries, $3.50 0;'0. OF
sewing machines the s exports to the united
$50. 654 last year; to Germany, $S4G,O34,
against $SO6, 401 in the preceding year: to
France, 500. 900 against $50. lit in the pre-
ceding year. and to other European coun-
tries. $235, 462, against s164, 229 in 1878.
For new and ingenious machinery the
world seems now to be looking to the
United States: Exports Of electrical ma

consul VAN sTITTART's DENIAL.
Sent to Foreign Rela.
lions Committee.

The Secretary of State has sent to the
Senate committee on foreign relations an
assurance from the British ambassador that
the interview attributed to Consul Van Stit-
tart at New Orleans rejecting upon publnc
officials Of the United States was not au-
thentic. The correspondence consists Of two
letters. both from the Secretary of State.
The first was dated January 80, and in this
the Secretary says that the alleged inter-
view was first brought to his attention
about the middle Of last week; that he i'm
mediately brought the matter to the atten-
ton Of the British ambassador. and that
in addition to promising to investigate the
ambassador had then assured him that the
interview had never occurred.
The second letter from Secretary Hay was
dated January 81. and is as follows:
Il have today received a visit from the
British ambassador, who has communicated
to me letter from Mr.. Van Stittart, saying
that he has given no interview to any re-
porter, nor has he at any time used the
language imputed to him. He says the in
terview is a pure fabrication"

The governments OF the United States
and Italy have entered into an arrangement
under the reciprocity sections OF the Ding
ley tariff act. The arrangement does not
require submission to the Senate and is
generally like the one recently entered into
with Portugal and that made with France
more than a year ago as a PRELIMINARY to
the pending reciprocity treaty. 1t is also
within contemplation that this italian ar
rangement at some date in the future shall
be followed by a full-dedged reciprocity
treaty. Under the terms Of the tariff act
the concessions in the matter of reductions
Of duty that may be granted to Italy are
limited to still and sparkling wines, bran
engravinss and other works Of art

Miss Anthony's Retirement.

The chief interest of the convention this
year centers in the retirement of Miss An
thony from the presidency. She will be
eighty years old February Is, and she feels
that younger women should now direct at
fairs. Miss Anthony will direct all her en-
ergies now to the securing of a large en-
dowment fund for the national organiZa-
ton. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, it is
thought, will be the choice for president.
The meetings will be held in the Church
of Our Father, corner of 18th and L streets
beginning February and lasting till the
14th. They will be public, as usual.

The Battle of Bunker Hill.

A dispatch from Martinsburg to the
Baltimore Sun of Monday last said
An old family feud, which has been
existing for some time, broke out afresh
on Friday night, when G. Milton La
mon attacked his nephew, ]. Milton
Lamon, a son of his brother, John La
mon, of Bunker Hill, Berkeley coun-
tv. The father and son have not been
on speaking terms with G. Milton La
mon for years. Recently the nephew
erected signs on his farm warning per-
sons not to trespass. This act seems to
have enraged his uncle, who passed
over the land frequently, so on Friday
night he waited for his nephew, a
young man of about twenty, whom he
had seen go to Bunker Hill before
dark. When the boy passed on his
way home bis uncle emerged from a
fence corner, struck him in the face
with his fist, then picked up a large
stone, beating him over the head and
face with it. The young man was not
physically strong enough to meet the
attack of his uncle. lie was consld-
erably battered up. He had a war
rant sworn out, charging his uncle
with attempt to kill. The uncle was
arrested Saturday and taken to Mar
tinsburg.

THE Hampshire Reuiea0 suggests
Admiral Winfield Scott Schley as a
candidate for Vice President on the
ticket with Mr.. Bryan. We believe
the nomination would be a good one.
OF all the figures brought into prom
inence by the Spanish-American war,
Schley is unquestionably the most pop
ular of the lot-largely because there
is a widespread belief that the admin
istion has dealt most unfairly with
him. Schley won the battle at San
tiago, fight more creditable to the
American Navy than the affair at
Manila Bay, and during all the con-
troversy that followed he kept level
head. He is Democrat.
The REGISTER is not hero wor-
shipper, but hero worshipping is pop
ular with the American people and
Schley holds his own long after Dewey
has tumbled from his pedestal and
Hobson has been kissed into oblivion.
Schley suits us and would be a good
offset to Teddy Roosevelt.

EDITOR REGIsTER-Dear Sir-Today
being a day of rest ] thought | would
try and let the people of Shepherdstown
know what | was doing over here at this
season of the year.
1t is so hot here in the day time that
YOU cannot get anyone TO go out in the
sun from II until 2 o'clock, unless com
PEELED to go, and at night we have to
wrap up in blankets it is so cold. The
town where we are at the present time
is about 400 miles south Of Manila on
the Isle of Fancy. The name of it is
San Jose pronounced San Ohsay). When
we came into it there WASH person IN
the town, now there are about l,5OO
Spaniards, natives and Cinnamon.
The second battalion of the 10Th are
the ONLY ones that are here at the pres
ent time and we are having it very hard
doing patrol duty in the surrounding
country for eight and ten miles every
other day.
We have been into seven or eight fights
since we have been here. | have had
the pleasure of being in only four OF
them, for was in the hospital when the
first fighting was done in the lloilo prov
ince and | was glad of it, for there were
no more than fifteen or twenty tit Tor
duty in company. acted as a nurse
in the hospital for thirty-three days un-
til Joined my company. The boys are
all tired until word is received to get
ready for battle, and then they can be
heard cheering for q mile or two, and
when they 90 into battle they 60 with a
veil and a rush, sweeping everything
before them, into blind trenches and
out again, stopping to give wounded
comrade water and rushing on again TO
fight and on to victory, for the American
troops have never been defeated on this
island
The first battle was ever in was the
one at a place called Antique. The
scouts had gone on ahead and we were
crossing the river close to the town. The
major had just reached the opposite
bank and | was about the middle of the
stream q being the majors musician
that day) when four shots were fired by
the enemy on our right on small hill.
As soon as the battalion crossed the
stream it formed in a skirmish line and
the command, Forward, march, " was
given, and he said, Boys, there are
some cannon on that hill (the insurgents
were firing on us at the time) and all |
want you to do is to capture them" All
the answer he received was a yell and
on they rushed, and in four hours we
could not see a niger and we had cap
i 4 Epn
guns, and we had one man wounded and
we could never find out how many in
surgents were killed or wounded And
there | stood, wondering how | got
through it all without getting hurt.
Well will have TO stop writing for
this time Tell all of the boys to stay
at home and don't come to the Philip
pines. JOHN IL. SIsLER.

The Primary Election.

Allwho value good government should
unite to stop corrupt voting. Citizens
in all parts of the county would quick
~ rebel did they know how rapidly this
evil is increasing.
There will be ,, 500 votes at the pri-
mary 1000 have too much Self-respect
10 sell themselves; the other 500 expect
money. If candidate receives large
majority of the honest vote, he will be
defeated unless he buys the floating
vote.
If nominations are to 60 to the Candi-
date offering the largest pay for the
floating vote. then what is the use of
any primary Why not let the EXecu-
tive Committee put each Office up to
the highest bidder. The difference is
only between a public and a private
auction.
Let all good citizens consider this
matter. Unless buying and selling votes
is stopped, the trusts to plumber the
people will surely furnish money to de-
feat every man who is fit for office.
Public Office is not a public trust,
if it is purchased. Think of it. Dem
ocratS of jefferson What will be our
condition when no man fit for office
will consent to be a candidate
Let good men unite to stop this grow
ing evil. 1t is worse in Jefferson than
in any other county. 1t can be easily
stopped. Let Democrats sign paper
instructing the Executive Committee,
now about to meet, as follows:
lSt. The primary shall be held under
the law.
ID. No one shall be recognized as a
candidate who does not publish a writ
ten pledge that neither he nor his friends
will violate the law.
Sd. During the week following the pri-
mary, the committee shall hear charges
against any candidate, and if is proved
that he or his friends violated the law,
then the nomination shall be given to
the man receiving the next highest vote,
against whom no charges are proven.
If the Executive Committee is so in
structed, it must obey. If paper to
this effect is circulated, it will be signed
by every man who is fit to vote.
The election law is briefly this:
Any candidate forfeitS his office if he
offers any intoxicating drink TO a voter
on election day. Code, chapter SO, Sec
tion 10.
Whoever shall use or receive any mon
ey or other thing of value TO influence a
vote, whoever shall cast any vote after
receiving money or other thing of value,
shall be fined not more than 800 or i'm
prisoned in jail not more than months,
or both. Code, page 1857.
