SENATOR HOAR ACCUSED.
1t Was His Speech That Was Placed in
Hands of Filipin0s.

Chicago Jan. 14.4--John Barrett, ex-
United States minister to Siam, for the
first time publicly named Senator Hoar
last night at Lake Forest university as
the United States senator whose anti
expansion speech was cabled to Hong
Kong and subsequently put in the
hands of the Filipino soldiers, causing,
as Mr.. Barrett believed, the open insur-
rection. Frequently this speech and it's
presumed effect have been mentioned,
and the reading public has connected
the name of Senator Hoar with it and
it is probable that Mr. Barrett would
not have used the lawmakers name on
this occasion had he not bean facing an
audience known to be largely hostile
to the administration policy in the
Oriental islands. 1t appeared further
from the ex-minister's speech that the
government has discovered privately
the stages by which the anti-expansion
address reached Luzon.

FELL FROM HIS TRAIN.


Philip F. Heery brakeman on the
Consolidated road, who lived at 153 Wa
ter street. was killed by falling from
his train at the East Haven tunnel yes
terday afternoon. Heery was on an ex-
ira freight train outward bound and af-
ter it had passed through the tunnel
the tunnel watchman found him lying
beside the track at the south end of
the tunnel The watchman did what he
could fo rthe injured man, but there
are no houses near by from which he
could summon assistance. About twen-
ty minutes after he found Heery
another freight train outward bound
came along The watchman tagged
this train and the injured man was car
ried into the caboose and taken on the
train to the East Haven depot. He
died within few minutes after reach
ing the depot, and before medical as
sistance arrived. DR.. Gustavus Eliot of
this city, medical examiner for East
Haven was notified and after an inves-
tigation concluded that death was due
to injuries received in a fall from the
train. Heery was about twenty-eight
years of age and was a single man.

FIG URES ON AMERICAN EXPORTS,
Some Interesting Data Furnished by
the Agricultural Department.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Frank H.
Hitchcock, chief Of the foreign markets
division of the agricultural department.
has prepared an interesting collation. of
figures showing for the first time the
respective amounts of our agricultural
exports which go to the several coun-
tries Of Europe and for other countries
The period covered is 1894 to 1898. The
statement shows that the agricultural
products exported from the United
States during the FIVE years had an av-
erage annual value of 1868, ,536, ,201. OF
these enormous exports about 60 per
cent. found a market in the United
Kingdom and Its various dependencies.
The sum paid by the British people for
the American farm produce purchased
during the period mentioned reached as
high as $403, 953, 1854 year. Great Brit
ain alone took more than one-half of
all our agricultural exports
Germany, which ranks next to the
United Kingdom as market for the
products of American agriculture, re-
ceived about 1S per cent. of the exports
for 1S94-lSyS, the average yearly value
amounting to $50, 500, 2T4.
France, with purchases that averaged
S43, ,9SS, $50 a year. or about 6.36 per cent.
of the total, was the third country in
These three countries
the United Kingdom, Germany and
France-received together nearly rs per
cent of the total agricultural exports
After the three countries just men
toned the Netherlands, Belgium, Can
ada, Italy and Spain afforded the most
important market. The Netherlands
bought S.5 per cent. Italy, 90 per cent;
and Spain, is per cent. The average
annual value of the exports to these
countries were: Netherlands, $2S, S03, 1856:
Belgium, $23, T31 669; Canada, S23, ,020, 1857;
Italy, $14O53, 800; Spain, $9,761,S7o; Bra

TREASON CASES At CAPE TOWN.
Proceedings Being Pressed Against
Colonial Dutch Prisoners.

Cape Town, Wednesday, Jan. 10.-The
proceedings for treason instituted
against the Dutch colonials who were
taken in arms at Sunnyside are being
pressed. Witnesses have been interro-
gated to-day; the preliminary examina-
ton before the magistrate will be held
later and the trial will probably be con-
Quoted by the supreme court.
The colonial Dutch point out that
those prosecutions will serve to make
more rebels, as they consider the treat
ment of the prisoners designed to ter
rify them Some Britons regard the
prosecutions as impolitic in view of the
fact that the Beers are able to retaliate
upon the one hundred British officers
and the $500 privates in their hands,
and might do so unless all who fight in
the Boer ranks are treated as prisoners
of war.
The Beers keep up continuous snip
ing near Dordrecht. Five colonial
scouts were captured on Monday. Yes
terday the American residents gave a
dinner to Webster Davis, United States
assistant secretary of the interior. Lord
Roberts and Lord Kitchener We're fer
vidly received on their arrival at Cape
Town.

SERIOUS COLLEGE, TROUBLE.
President and Faculty OF University of
Cincinnati at Loggcrhcnds.


Cincinnati at Loggcrhcnds.
Cincinnati, Jan. 14,--This has been a
day of anxiety among those connected,
either directly or indirectly, with the
University of Cincinnati. Following the
declaration of President Ayers that the
members of the faculty should all re-
sign and that he would then accept such
designations az he might elect comes a
movement on the part of the professors
to stand together and not only refuse 10
resign, but for all to quit Of the trustees
at special meeting tomorrow sustain
the decree of President Ayers. The trus-
tees last year before electing President
Ayers adopted resolution giving the
president power, to appoint members OF
the faculty and declare vacancies. One
of the professors said to-day: Every
bridge has been burned. Even if the
trustees should refuse to sanction what
has been done we would decline to be
longer associated with Mr.. Ayers. One
or the other must CO." The students,
alumni and others have been industri-
ously comforting to-day with the trus
tees regarding the crisis.

LONDON STILL IN SUSPENSE.
Roberts Announcement Does Nothing
Toward Allaying the Anxiety.

London, Jan. Is, 4:30 a. m.-Lord
"No change in the situation" does
nothing to allay public anxiety or ex-
plain the mystery surrounding General
Buffers movements on the Tugela, and,
although there is a disposition to re-
gard the despatch as disposing of Sat-
urdays adverse rumors, the week has
opened in a state of suspense almost
equal to that of last week, because it
is recognized that failure in General
Buffers present attempt would seal the
fate of Ladysmith. Presumably mo
change in the situation refers to pre-
vious dispatches sent to the war Of
fice which have not yet been revealed
to the public Except the announce
ment of the seizure Of Potgieter's Drift
and Of the advance of General War
rem, there has been no news from the
Tugela for a week. A ray of hope is
found in the fact that the same silence
prevails on the Boer side Thus it may,
perhaps, be fairly inferred that Cen
eral Butler has not yet met a serious
check.
ufnGTAA w NrTems NDVen1FhN
If the announcement of General War
rens movement be correct, it is evident
that General Buffers forces are spread
over very wide front, perhaps twenty
five miles, and in the event of a sudden
fall of the river his operations might be
full of danger. 1t is believed that Cen
eral Butler has no good survey maps of
the district. This will add to his diff
culties Sir Charles Warren's advance
probably means an attempt to- seize
Hlangwane Hill, the main post of the
Beers south of the Tugela. Upon the
success or failure of these operations
depends the whole future of the cam
paign. Until the result is known Lord
Roberts will be unable to decide how to
dispose of the two divisions and the re-
Endorsements now arriving.
A sortie from Kimberley.
The. news from other points is of no
great Importance. Boer accounts tell
of another sortie from Kimberley on
January 8 in the direction of Kamfers
Dam, with brisk exchange of firing,
but no result A heavy detonation was
heard on January within Kimberley.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Modder river, dated January 10, gives a,
rumor that Kimberley was being bonn
barded. Bustard's Mex, mentioned in
Lord Roberts dispatch as the locality
Of reconnaissance, is northwest of
Colesberg.

| Mexico, 1885, ,4S6; British Africa, $4,-
| 1873, 920, and European Russia, $4,060, ,236
The average yearly exports to Hong

to Japan at SO, ,407, 800. For Portugal the
average annual record was $2,709,6 694;
for Sweden and Norway, $2.635, $40; for

The other countries to which the Unit
ed States sent agricultural products
during 1S94-189S having an average
yearly value in excess of $1,O00,000 were
Austria Hungary, Venezuela, British
Guinana, Porto Rico the Hawaiian Is
lands and the French West Indies
These figures show that with very
few exceptions the leading foreign coun-
tries materially increased their pur-
chases of American agricultural prod
ucts during 1S94-1S9S. In the total agri-
cultural exports there was an advance
from $685. 633, TAT in 1894 to $S58, ,5O7, ,942 in
1898, making gain of 1921, ,S74, ,1195. The
countries of destination that contribut-
ed most to this incease were the United
Kingdom, Germany, France, Belgium,
Canada, the Netherlands, Japan, Italy,
Denmark and British Africa
Our exports of farm products to the
United Kingdom increased SS2,5SS, ,S54
during the five years, to Germany $46,-
441,33S, and to France $3S, 41520S.
The summary brings out the fact that
about So per cent. of all the farm pro-
duce shipped from the United States
during the five years mentioned was
marketed in Europe, the annual aver
age being $3.50, 95S, ,907 In 1898 it reached
as high as $761, $40, 7S2, showing in in
crease of $195, ,5SS, 931 over the value for
1894
OF the remaining 12 per cent the chief
part went to Canada and the other
North American countries averaging
annually s4S, 724 PSF, or slightly more
than per cent. of the total The rec
ord for the five years shows only q
slight gain. South America took only
LIZ per cent. of the total, the average
yearly value being $11l3S9,761, and were
less than in 1898 than in 1884, To Asia
there was a marked increase during the
five years, the value advancing from
$3,SOl, ,099 in 1894 to $4A67,249 in 1898.
They formed 1.16 per cent. of the total
for the five years
