as follows:
''Mr. Simmons, the duty of accept

of Kenosha county this beautiful tes-
timonial of your gratitude to the men
of Kenosha county who defended the

gratitude. AS one who took an humble
part in that victorious defense of the
Union it occurs to me that this mem

minds and hearts that true spirit of
patriotism which shall cause us to
be ever ready to defend our homes

yet been largely developed. In reapers
and mowers, clocks and watches. sew
ing machines, bicycles, and the various
manufactures of iron and steel, and
many other articles of the higher
grades of manufacture, the European
countries in which manufacturing
plants and machinery and skilled work
men abound, furnish a market for a
large share Of our exports, thus falling
to justify the expressed fear that a de-
velopmept of manufactures in countries
where we are now seeking a foothold
for our commerce would destroy their
value as a permanent market.
As already indicated, the largest
growth in our export of manufactures
is in those of metals. The largest class
Of manufactures of metals exported is
that of iron and steel In 1880 the ex-
port Of manufactures of iron and steel
was S14.716,5 24, and in 1900 will exceed
500 600 900, or more than seven times
that of 1880.
In no feature of our export trade has
there been a more remarkable growth
during the decade than in rails for rail-
ways, especially those Of steel The
total expectation of iron rails in 1859
was but seven tons, and in 1898, 2,769
tons, the value rising from $240 in 1883
to $37, $50 in 1898. In steel rails, how
ever. the growth was even more re-
markable, the number of tons exported
in 1889 being 1898. and in 1898, 229, 1888,
while the value increased from $685. 1877
in 1889 to S4,613,376 in 1898, and in the
fiscal year 1900 seems likely to reach
$sO0O,OOO. This increase has been es-
pecially marked during the past three
years, the exports of steel rails in the
fiscal year 1896 being $40. 797, those of
1897 81, 4S2, EOS, and those of 1898 $4,61s.-
376, those of 1899 s5,29S, 125, while the
first ten months of the present fiscal
year show gain of about s2,OOO,OOO over
the corresponding months of last year
While this rapid increase is due to a
generally increased demand, the coun-
tries showing the most marked growth
in their purchases of steel rails from the
United States are Russia, Canada and
Japan.

DREYFUS AMNESTY BILL
Reported for Discussion in the French
Senate.

Paris, May 29.-The senate reassembled
today and NJ. Eugene Guerin presented
his report on the amnesty bill. the pro-
visions of which prevent further criminal
proceedings arising out of determinations
in the Dreyfus case and in accordance
with the wishes of the government, he
asked for discussion of the measure next
Friday, to which the senate agreed. The
report says that the former Captain AL
fred Dreyfus is excluded from the am
nesty, owing to serious double objection
that amnesty, in effacing all trace of the
condemnation and crime Itself, would
have as a consequence, the instatement
of Dreyfus in all his rights, while on the
other hand it would deprive him of the
rights to seek a revision of his case. The
bill will have the effect of removing var
ious suits from the criminal courts to civil
jurisdiction and the most complete light
the Dreyfus affair may thus be thrown
but without noise and without scandal

JAPANESE SHUT OUT.
Government Board Orders De-
pOrtatiOn of a Large Number.

Tacoma, Wash, May ga spe-
cial board of inquiry composed of Col
leetor W. A. Fairweather, chairman
DEPUTY Collectors w. De Lacey and
Robert Watchorn, special supervising
Immigration inspector, who is in Ia
coma from Washington for the express
purpose Of inQuiring into the sudden
immigration of Japanese to this coast.
worked from Z o'clock last night until
midnight passing on II japanese who
had been rejected by immigration In
spector Walker on the steamship Glen
ogle. Out of this number the board
rejected fifty Of them outright. This
is by far the largest number ever re-
jected out of a single shipment to the
Sound. Nineteen of the remaining q
came dangerously near being rejected
also. They were allowed to land only
upon the Japanese consul giving his
guarantee that they would obtain en-
pioyment within the next so days.
Some of the so japanese were rejected
because they had infectious diseases.
One had consumption. Others were re
jected because it appeared that they
were contract laborers. Only two out
of the entire II passed the examination
successfully. The Glenogle brought 358
Japanese to Tacoma on this trip, and
the percentage of reflections was IN
usually large.
The Japanese missionary at Tacoma,
who makes it his business to find employ
ment for the japanese emigrants. admit
ted to the examining board that there are
now 300 japanese in Tacoma, out of en-
ployment. Inspector Snyder, of Seattle,
says there are 400 japanese out of work
in that city.
Another thing brought out in the inves-
tigation is that more than three times as
many Japanese are landed in Victoria as
are brought to the sound ports
When the news reaches JaDan that 80
Japanese out of a single shipment have
been rejected in Tacoma, the next ship
that comes will likely unload the entire
lot in Victoria, and let them take chances
of crossing the lines in small bodies. If
they are caught they can not be sent back
any farther than Victoria, whereas, if
they are rejected in Tacoma, they must
go back to Japan. The Glenogle is due
to sail on Wednesday, SO the Japanese
will have but little time in which to ap-
peal their cases to Washington, should
they so desire.

PROTECT OUR CITIZENS
Q. s. Minister Appeals to Gov
eminent for Protection.

Washington, May 29-Such advices as
have reached here indicate that the sit
uation in China has assumed very
critical phase and one calculated to tax
the entire resources of the Chinese gov
eminent. The state department has
been in close communication with Mr..
Conger our minister at Pelxin and the
navy department is doing it's share,
having placed the flagship Newark as
far up the Pei Ho river as the TakU
forts, which is the nearest point to Pc
kin that the ship can reach. The opera
tons of the boxers are increasing in
magnitude. Their demonstrations are
no longer local and they appear to be
governed IN their movements by some
Well settled design. They have muir
dered nine Methodist missionaries in
one province. at the town Pachow, and
nave closed in on Pekin. Meanwhile the
chinese army is suspected of diSloyalty,
this belief being strengthened by WHOLE
sale assertions of the soldiers to the
boxers
Minister Conger has appealed to the
state department for the protection of
a marine guard for his legation. The
department has promptly cabled him an
authorization to call upon the nearest
United States naval vessels for assist
ance- 1t is not known yet whether he
mas awaited himself of the permission
The ship he would naturally look to
would be the Newark and it is assumed
that he has already communicated with
Admiral kempff on board that flagship
The embarrassing feature of the situa-
ton IS the cutting of the cOmmunica-
ton by rail between Taku and Tien

there are probably only two courses
open to the marines who wish to reach

or a tedious voyage up the swift and
shallow Pei Ho in shore boats in tow
of steam launches.

Baptist Missionary Union Decides to

Detroit, May 29.-British India mis-
sions were discussed at length by mis-
sionaries employed in that field in to-
days sessions of the Baptist missionary
union. The attendance and interest in
creased rather than abated in the clos
ing day of the nine days session of the
missionary anniversaries. Toward the
close of the morning session a PROPOSE
ton to call for an increase of gifts to
foreign missions this year by 25 per
cent over those of last year, prevailed
by unanimous vote. A resolution was
offered by D. D. McLaurin, D. D., of
Detroit changing the system of repre-
sentation in the annual meetings from
the present basis as to elect practically
one delegate for every 400 Baptists At
present the making of a contribution is
prerequisite for representation of a

the construction the resolution was laid
over for a year.

Washington, May 29.-The senate

today through it's chairman, Senator
Chandler, made an adverse report upon
the house joint resolution providing for
the election of United States senators

relating to the election of senators so
as to permit election by a plurality of
members of the legislature in cases
where a majority can not be secured by

Secretary Root Appoints Men to Office
Over the Senator's Protest.


Over the Senator's Protest.
New York May 2s.-The Herald to-
morrow will say:
There has been much surprise among
New York Republicans at the action Of
Secretary Root of the war department,
in nominating George W. Lyon, former
secretary of the Union League club, to
a place in the Philippines and in offer
ing a high judicial position in Porto
Rico to Charles T. Saxton, now judge of
the court Of claims. It has become
known that Secretary Root did not
think it worth while to consult Senator
Platt about these appointments.
Mr. Lyon was formerly surveyor of
the port of New York. He was corpora
ton attorney under Mayor Strong and
is not an organization Republican.
Judge Saxton stood up in the Saratoga
convention which nominated Governor
Roosevelt and after withdrawing his
own name from consideration for gov
ernor. threw the vote of Wayne county
to Governor Black. who made him a
judge of the court of claims a year be-
fore the expiration of the term of the
judge whose place he was to fill. Senator
Platt bitterly opposed the suggestion
that Mr.. SaXton succeed Louis z. Payn
as superintendent of insurance.

A FORTUNE FOR LOVE.
Illinois Man Forfeits an Estate by
Marrying the Girl of His Choice.


Springfield, Ill, May 29.-Gustav Jorns
of this city has proved his love for his
sweetheart by FORGETTING all interest in
his fathers estate. The bulk of the es-
tate was left to him, but there was a
provision in the will that, should he
marry Gertrude CAIRNS. he would for
felt his interest. 1t was learned today
that Jorns and Miss CAIRNS were mar
ried May 16 at Evansville Ind
The wedding was kept a secret until
today and was then made public by
young Jorns, who told his former guar
dian, Attorney John S. Schnepp. The
CAIRNS family knew of their daughters
wedding to Jorns, but said nothing
about it. Jorns and his bride returned
home a few days ago. They are now
living with Henry CAIRNS, the brides
father.
The elder Jorns, before his death, had
learned that his son and Miss CAIRNS
were betrothed and he bitterly objected
to their wedding. Just why he opposed
the match is not known, but it was sup
posed that it was because his son was
not of age. The hostility expressed
toward the young woman by the terms
of the will would, however, indicate that
he had some special aversion to her.
