Paymaster General Bates Reports De-
creased Payments.

Paymaster General Bates Reports De-
creased Payments.
Paymaster General Bates reports to the
Secretary of War that during the year end
ing June 80, 1900, he paid to the army, reg
ular and volunteers, $36, $50, 600; on the
emergency fund Ito disband the Cuban
army" s1,642.65O. Several minor recon-
mendations concerning the pay of the army
are contained in this report.
A comparison of the expenditures of the
last fiscal year with those of the fiscal year
of 1899 shows a net decrease of 1913 ,3S2, lat.
The mileage provisions under the act of
May last have been applied satisfactorily to
the army, with the single exception of what
are known as agreement road deductions.
The expense, time and labor involved in the
multiplicity of time and distance tables re-
Quired under the ever changing conditions
of the railroads making these deductions Is
found to offset completely any saving to the
government through their use in the trans
+ portation of troops and supplies. Gen.
Bates therefore recommends that this
clause be stricken out Of the mileage pro-
visions.
The paymaster general calls particular at
ton to the 10 and 20 per cent extra pay
allowance provided by Congress for the
troops serving in the island possessions and
Alaska, which unfortunately deprives the
troops serving in China from a share of
that bonus, the disturbances in the Chinese
empire not having assumed a threatening
aspect when this law was passed in the lat
ter part of May. He recommends that this
extra allowance be extended to officers and
men serving in all countries. beyond the
limits of the United States proper, and that
the time of this foreign service be COM
puted from May 26. 1900, the day the act
became a law.
The number of deposits received from and
repaid to soldiers on discharge from July /,
1872, to June 80, 1900, was 3OS, 979, repre-
senting the sum of s11 ,O62, 765, of which
amount there is s4,12S,O59 on hand to the
credit of the depositors. The paymaster
general says that the number and
amount Of the deposits varied compare
lively little from the beginning of the
system until the fiscal year 1897 and the
breaking out of the Spanish war. Although
the greater amount of the increase in de-
posits must have come from the volunteers,
still 1t is evident that the soldiers in the
field take advantage of this privilege to a
greater extent than soldiers in garrison
Proposed Civil Pension List.
Gen. Bates repeats a former suggestion
that civil service rules be applied to clerks
in the paymaster generals office, and earn
estly recommends legislation authorizing
the retirement of clerks on half pay after
seventy years of age and thirty years SER
vice in his department.

TRADE WITH PORTO RICO.
Great Growth Since the Enactment OF
the Tariff.

Imports into the United States from Porto
Rico have trebled and exports to that
island from the United States have quad
rupled in the five months since the enact
ment of the new Porto Rican tariff act as
compared with those of the corresponding
months of 1896 and 1897. when Porto Rico
was under the Spanish flag.
The Porto Rican tariff act went into eff
feet May /, 1900. The imports from the
island in the five months whose record the
treasury bureau of statistics has Just COM
pleted amount to s3,3l6,33i against 81 1872
1913 in the corresponding months OF 1891 or
practically three times as much in the five
months of 1890 as in the corresponding five
months of 1897. The exports to the island
in the five months of 1900 are s2,So79os,
against $717.744 in the corresponding months
of 1896, and $76SSo2 in the corresponding
months of 1897, or practically four times as
much in 1900 as in 1896 or 1897.
These figures are especially interesting
because Of the fact that it was supposed
when the act went into effect that the com
merce of the first year would be very small
by reason of the hurricane of last year.
which proved damaging to the chief in
dustries that it was thought the island
would in the present year have little to sell.
and consequently little with which to buy.
Yet the figures given show that it has sent
to the United States in the five months
from May L. 1900, to October 1, 1900,
twice as much in value as in the cor
responding months Of 1899, and three
times as much as in the same months
of 1897, and that 1t has bought from the
United States more than twice as much as
in the corresponding months Of 1899, and
practically four times as much as In the
corresponding months Of 1896 or 1897.
The table which follows shows our i'm
ports from Porto Rico and exports to the
island during May, June, July, August and
September Of 1885, 1897, 1899 and 1900. re-
spectively, and the total for each period,
and thus enables comparison by months
and by the entire period both with 1899.
when the island was under the American
flag, but subject to the general customs
laws of the United States, and with 1896
and 1897, when it was Spanish territory. 1t
will be seen that every month since the en-
actment of the new law shows a marked
increase over 1899, and a still greater in
crease as compared with 1897 and 1895;
while the total imports from the island in
the five months Of 1900 show an increase of
81 per cent over 1899 and 172 per cent over
1897, and the exports to the island show an
increase of 1O4 per cent over 1899 and 265
per cent over 1897.

Carroll Institute has had crowded alleys
lately and the team has been SO greatly
strengthened that it seems to be cut out
for the championship. This is broad as
sertion, 1t is true, but 1t would seem that
to strengthen last years team would be al
most equivalent to building champion or
ganization. And the team is said to be
unquestionably stronger than 1t was last
year. In Brosnan the team has secured

From the New 1OrK Herald
Within the present month two clergymen
have dropped dead from heart disease while
speaking to their audiences. Both had said
that they preferred to die in harness, and in
each instance their wish was gratified.
The influence of mental excitement on
heart action is a matter of daily observa-
tion but Is particularly marked when dis
ease of the organ is present. What may be
a mere extra palpitation in healthy in
dividual means dangerous strain to crippled
machinery.
The end is precipitated by overdistention
of the cardiac cavities, which is followed by
almost instantaneous paralysis of the heart
muscle. Death often strikes the victim at
the time when a supreme effort is made.
The Rev. DR.. Craig, who died SO quickly
yesterday while addressing a ministerial
conference in Newport News, Is said to
have made a singularly powerful appeal to
his hearers. His end was swanlike, fading
in music" So 1t was with Secretary Win
dom when reaching the climax of his
notable speech at the board Of trade ban
puet; also with Customary, who expired
with the last note of his song, and with
Remenyi. who dropped with bow in hand.
1t was meeting the enemy face front but
not suspecting his nearness. The stricken
minister, buoyed with the excitement of
the moment, appeared more than equal to
the occasion He had no reason, apparent
ly, to think his work was so nearly done.
There was quicker journey for him than
that to be taken in his waiting carriage.
