German Expression.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Berlin, Dec. 4.-The German Foreign
Office and sections of the press will re-
serve final expression upon President
McKinley's message to Congress until
the full text is at hand. A foreign Of
fetal said this evening that the cabled
abstract of the message is too meagre
to justify an expression as to the
whole, but we can only receive salts
faction from the emphasis which
President Mckinley lays upon the good
relations between the United States
and Germany. We are ready to meet
the Americans half way. Many pap
ers think they detect a cooler tone TO-
ward Germany than toward England
and France.

CITY's DEFENDERS
Enjoyed a BOuntlous Banquet at The Palm
Last Night.

Forgetting their own and other peo-
Piles troubles for a space of several
hours Tuesday night, the members of
Marletta's police force, the City Marsh
al, tie Mayor and the Fire Chief look
ed long upon the heaped up board last
n.shs
Caterer Mumford prepared an ex-
cellent feast at the Palm Cafe, and the
man, the place and the banquet so
pleased the city's defenders from
thieves, fire and law breakers that it
was very late before the officials could
be induced to depart for their respec-
tive homes.
Mayor Sykes acted as toastmaster
ard to his calls the jolly police and
fireman responded with alacrity.
Some of the speeches were sparkling
gems of oratory and should certainly
be preserved. officer Putnam's speech
especially is highly spoken of and is
said to have met with much applause.

SHOW BIG INCREASE.
Exports for Ten Months of 1901
Break All Records.
For First Time in History of Our Com
merce Our Exports Have EN-
ceeded $1OO,OOO,OOO in Value
Each Month of Year.

The ten months of 1900, ending with
October, broke the records of exports
for the corresponding period of pre-
ceding years and give assurance that
the calendar year 1900 will show the
largest exports in the history of our
foreign commerce. The total for the
ten months is $1,194, ,775, ,2O5, or prac-
tically double that of the ten months
ending with October, 1894. Exports
exceeded imports during the ten
months ending with October by prao-
tically $500,0O0,0O0, while in the cor
responding ten months of 1894 i'm
ports exceeded exports by $96,662. 1863.
The year 1900 will for the first time
in the history of our commerce show
an export of more than 1OO,OO0,00O
value in every' month of the year,
while for the first time a single month
October, 19OO-passes the $15O,OO0,-
OO0 line, being $163,O93,597, against
the highest preceding record of 1884,
1925, which was made in March,
1900.
Agriculture, mining and manufac-
lures have jointly contributed to this
enormous increase in our export bust
ness. The details of the tenth month
of the year, October, have not yet
been completed, but those for the
nine months ending with September
show that agricultural exports are
S50,00O,000 greater in 1900 than in
1899; manufactures, $50, 100000 great
er; products of the mine. $1,000, 900 in
excess of the corresponding months
of the preceding year; and products
of the forest $5,OOO,0OO greater than
in the nine months of 1899.
1t is especially in raw cotton and
manufactured iron and steel, how
ever, that the greatest growth is
shown. Exports of cotton in the sin
gle month of October amounted to
over $50,00o,000, against $2s,00O,000 in
October, 1899; 100000 in October,
1898, and $32, 100000 in October, 1897.
Manufactures of iron and steel show
for the nine months ending with Sep
tember October details not yet be-
ing available) $97,313,O6O, against &c.,
569,205 in the corresponding months
of 1899, $599o0,665 in the correspond
ing months of 1898, and $45, 500, 1884 in
the corresponding months of 1897,
having thus more than doubled in
three years. time.

Says Mr.. Stowe.

By Associated Press.
London, Dec. 4.-James G. Stowe,
United States Consul General at Cape
town, landed at Southampton today.
He is taking leave of absence and
will sail for the United States in few
days.
He said that the present plan of the
British campaign in South Africa is
bound to bring the war to and end in
four months. Mr.. Stowe says that
Adelbert S. Hay, United States Consul
at Pretoria, has won the golden opin-
ions of both sides, although for a time
some unpleasantness existed in his re-
latfons with the Beers, owing to the
assertion that he was a British spy He
expressed himself unable to under
stand the attitude of Webster Davis,
former Assistant Secretary of the In
terror, considering the fact that Mr..
Davis made pro-British speeches while
being entertained in Cape Colony.

CUBAN CONVENTION
Has Before It Three Constitutions to be
Considered.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Havana, Dec. 4.-The Cuban Consti-
tutional Convention was sitting today.
Three complete constitutions were sub
mtted by General Rivera, Senior Ques
ada and the colored General Norma, re-
speotively. Delegates will discuss them
later.
General Rivera proposed constitu-
Senate and House OF Representatives.
governor for each of the six prov
inces, legislative body for each prov
ince and one member of the House of
Representatives for every 10000 in
habitants, with the election by popular
vote. His scheme also GALES for three
electors in each municipal district,
whose duty it shall be to elect legis-
lative body of eleven for the province
in which they reside. This legislative
body shall elect governor and four
members of the Senate. Finally the
six legislators shall meet and choose
President, who must be a native Gu
ban.
General Rivera's idea is to have all
power vested in the central govern
ment, and the convention virtually
pledged itself to one state government
at the yesterday session.
DeQuesda's proposal would central
ize the government in the President,
Senate and a House of Representatives
elected by the people, suffrage being
restricted to educational qualifications.
General Morua offered for the ap-
proval of the convention the constitu-
ton of the United States, with the ex-
ception that any one who has fought in
war might be chosen President.
