be required or permitted to take such
money responsibility without proper vault
accommodation and protection.
The accumulation of official bonds up1u
which the government may at any time de-

stored in fireproof vaults, now requires an
additional vault, as there are more than
Interior departments entirely unprotected

of such a nature that should they be de-

would be caused by their loss, and 1t would
be obviously impossible to make duplicates
of them which would be of any value. 1t
is therefore absolutely necessary, in order
that the files and records connected with

may be safely preserved, that additional

Remark Attributed to Clark by a Salt
Lake Newspaper Wan.

ChaS. W. Jackson, i Salt Lake newspaper
man and member of the Utah legislature,
was witness before the Senate committee
invest igating the Clark case after The
Stars report closed Saturday.
He testified that he had met Mr. Clark
at the knutsford Hotel, in Salt Lake City,
during the senatorial deadlock in that
state, last February, and that Mr.. Clark
had tried to influence him TO vote for Nc
Cune for United States senator from Utah.
intimaIing to him that in case he should do
So he would be paid for the act. Relating
the conversation, Mr.. Jackson said that Mr.
Clark had said that Mcclure was a liberal
man who never forgot his friends, and said
IF / should see my way clear to'roting for
him he had no doubt he would do some
thing handsome for me-" Mr.. Jackson said
he had declined, and that Mr.. Clark had
then proceeded TO argue the point, saying
that all scandals of that character soon
died out; that il was the custom of men of
wealth to spend money to secure election
to the Senate. Jackson said Mr.. Clark
cited the case of Senator Hanna of Ohio as
in point Continuing, he said that Mr.
Clark stated that in his own case he had
used money to secure his own election,
which had then but recently occurred. His
election had caused some talk, and one of
the members had foolishly exhibited some
doubt that the talk would soon die out and
that he would hear little more of 1t. The
witness said that Mr.. Clark had asked him
to regard the conversation as confidential.
When Mr. Jackson concluded his testi-
mony it was announced that no more wit
nesses would be examined before Wednes-
day next, and, after an executive session.
the committee adjourned.

The analysis of movement of export By
ports shows tina in the exports of corn sew
eral of the great ports on the Atlantic and
gulf are gaining upon New York, and that
the movement from the grain fields toward
the seaboard is apparently being more gem
orally distributed than formerly. The ex-
ports of corn, for instance, from the port Of
New York increased from $4,000 900 to 40
100000 bushels between 1893 and 1899, an
increase of 200 per cent. while those from
Boston Increased from 5000. 900 to il. 900, =
900; those from Philadelphia. from 1000 900
to 2o,W0,0GO; Baltimore, from 7.:p0.O00 to
46WM.Hn; New Orleans, from $3.50 600 to
22.ooo,0oo. while Newport News and Cal
weston, for which the record begins with
1895, show for Newport News an increase
from 100000 in 1895 to 14.OOO,O0O in 1899,
and Galveston from .2i000 in 1895 to
7,oo0,0o0 in 1899. Thus Philadelphia. Balti-
more, Newport News. New Orleans and
Galveston show "a much larger percentage
of growth In their exports of corn than
does New York Boston.
Export of Wheat.
In wheat expectations Boston has made
greater gains than any other Atlantic port
the total having grown from $685. 12J bush
els in 1898 to 1l.5G7,S47 in 1899, while at
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
New Orleans the figures for 1899 are in
each case actually less than in 1893, the
figures for New York being Sc 49,, 499 BUSH

and ?,549,210 in 1899, and New Orleans r.

1899.
Galveston. however, shows marked
gain, the figures for 1896 being :i,43s. 1863
bushels and those of 1899, 10 713.4OO. Prior
to 1896 the wheat expectations from Cal
weston were small, seldom reaching 900 kD
bushels. but in 1896 they amounted TO
; 43s, 800 bushels and have steadily grown
until. as already indicate they We're in
1899, 15,Il3 400 bushels, in spite of the fact
that the total exports of wheat from the
United States in 1S9o We're materially below
those of the preceding year.
Export of Flour.
In flour also the drift appears to be away
from New York whose exports of flour in
$50; We're 644s,a31 barrels, and in 1899
4,741 ,o35, while Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Newport News, Norfolk, New Orleans and

First Lieut.. John w. Lynch of the marine
corps was recently convicted by court-mar-
tial at Cavite, p. l., of violation of the
regulations, and sentenced to be dismissed
the service. 1t appears from the evidence
in the case that in July last, while under
the influence of strong drink. he attempt
ed to break into private house in Manila
occupied by a woman and two daughters.
They became frightened at his efforts to
gain access to the house and raised an
alarm, with the result that Lieut.. Lynch
was placed under arrest. He was very
much Inundated over the occurrence and
handed in his resignation, but it was not
accepted. The court-martial found him
guilty and sentenced him to be dismissed
but on account of his youth aud short eN-
perience in the service recommended him
to the mercy of the reviewing authority.
Rear Admiral Watson has committed the
sentence to the loss of ten numbers in his
grade.

THE COLOMBIAN REVOLUTION.

Advices received at Kingston, Jamaica,
from Colombia reiterate the statement that
the main body of the Colombian revolution
isis, after occupying Bucaramanga on JAM
uary and securing large quantities of
stores, proceeded toward Socorro, to which
other bodies We're converging, with view
of forming a junction and delivering
concerted attack upon Bogota. In this at

Colombians expected the assistance of a
considerable body of NeneZuelans. under
stood to be advancing from the frontier by
way of Cuyuta.
On the other hand, the government dis
patches reafiirm the reports of a complete
rout of the main body Of the insurgents
in two heavy battles near Bucuramanga
and cerrta, entirely frustrating the insur-
gents plans.
AS against this. advices from yet another
quarter declare that the government is
completely disorganiZed, and that the gov
eminent troops are retreating toward b.
gotta, avoiding conflicts. III this connection
it is pointed out that the drafting of Antio-
quian troops into the capital is a significant
indication of the governments position.

First Duty in Civil War.
His first duty during the civil war was as
commanding officer of the gunboat Neosho,
engaged in patrol service on the lower Mis-
sissipp: The prevention of blockade rum
ming was assigned to him and in carrying
out the orders of his government he had
many thrilling experiences. Following this
duly he was transferred to the Amanda as
acting master, and designated TO patrol the
Atlantic coast south of Norfolk HIS vessel
reached Norfolk in time to witness the de-
strlIction OF the frigates Congress and Cum
berlaad by the seemingly invincible confed-
crate ironclad Merrimac. 1t was at this
time that the strange little Ericsson craft,
the Monitor. appeared upon the scenes.
She was looked upon with as much trepida-
ton as is the submarine boat of today and
many doubted her ayaila bility for service
against 50 powerful a fighting machine as
the steel-inclosed Merrimac-
Volunteered rs Pilot.
Upon examining the boat Lieut.. Howard
took a great fancy to her and volunteered
to pilot her through the Roads. Capt Wor-
Gen was in command. Much of the success
of the Monitor was due to the efficient wotk
of Lieut.. Howard at the wheel.
When the civil war was ended Lieut.
Howard resigned from the navy and ac-
ceptcd a commission lieutenant in the
revenue marine service, being stationed for
a long time at New Orleans and other large
southern ports Strangely enough. while
serving in the revenue marine, Lieut.. How

had opposed him IN the great battle, and
who had also entered the revenue service.
The TWO became fast friends. Lieut.. How

was excitement. Dr. c. w. Johnston, a
young practicing physician of that town.
perintendent of the Enterprise Lumber
Company. Accounts differed somewhat as
10 how the shooting occurred, but the facts
in the main are about as follows: Both
parties were in the commissary of the
Enterprise Lumber Company, when Mr..
Domer proceeded TO thrash the doctor for
some remarks he had heard that the lat
ter had made about his family. The fight
had just begun when the doctor, who was
a much smaller man, pulled a pistol ana
fired upon his antagonist. the bullet en-
terlng the right chest. passing through
the lungs, stopping just back of the
shoulder. Mr. Domer, after being shot,
threw DR.. Johnston upon the floor. and
with his fist, bruised him up considerably.
All the parties who witnessed the shoot
ing directed their attention TO getting doc
tors and aiding the man who was shot TO
his house. while the young man who did
che shooting left the crowd. went to his
Office got his shotgun and left the place
on foot. A few minutes later a telephone
message to Dakota secured the blood
hounds of Greer Bros, and in thirty min
utes were on the track OF the fugitive,
who was caught about eight miles away.
He was landed In Worth jail. At last ac-
counts Mr.. Domer was resting well.

Bear After the Negroes.

The colored population of Lincoln City,
a suburb of Starke, are in a terrible state
Of excitement over the fact that large
black bear is running rampant through
that neighborhood. The bear has made
several attacks on people lately. Last
Saturday night as Andrew Ebert, colored,
was going home he came across the bear
in a dense swamp near his place. The
animal chased him to his door and came
very near catching him just as he jump
ed through the door He ran into his
house and secured his revolver, but by
the time he had returned the bear had
departed. Sunday night the bear came
into another colored mans yard and
chased his children in the house. killing
a large dog that was in abe yard. Several
other parties have seen the animal and
describe it as being the largest bear that
was ever seen here. The colord people
are afraid to step outside of their doors
a night, and Won't think of coming to
town through the swamp.
