now predicting as to the date Lori
Roberts will enter Pretoria. Some
put it as early.ss this Saturday, some
four weeks distant. June 20
is the favorise date, as this is
Ascension day and Bobs has weak
ness for doing big deeds to coincide
with public dates.
The latest dash forward, which last
night brought the British army within
q days march of johannesburg, fur
nishes fresh evidence of the non-re-
sistauce OF the Beers. With the ex-
front to the left. not a shot was fired
apparently in the ad vance. This run
ming retreat looks very much like
Decentralization. Dispatches from Pre-
toria are conflicting. Some say that
the Beers are preparing to fee at the
first sight of Roberts; others are posi-
tive that everybody is working over
time at the capitals defenses.
The British concentrating at Mafek-
ing are active. Tney have occupied
Il ,erust, northeast OF Mafeking, aud
are also reported to be marching on
Lychtenberg, on the road ID Johsn-
nesburg.
An attack on Pretoria from the
direction OF Mafeking is probably not
regarded as an impossibility by the
Trauvaalers, which may account for
their rapid retreat toward their cap
ttsl.
The time is now short for the Beers
to put into execution their threat of
destroying the Johannesburg mines.

Legis1atiOn.

LegislatiOn.
American vessels during the past three
years have carried about Q per cent of our
exports and imports. Foreign ships should
carry the least, not the greatest, part Of
American trade. The remarkable growth
OF our steel industries, the progress OF
shipbuilding for the domestic trade. and
our steadily maintained expenditures for
the Navy have created an opportunity to
place the United States in the first rank
of commercial maritime powers.
Besides realizing proper national aspir-
alton this will mean the establishment and
healthy growth along all our coasts OF
distinctive national industry. expanding
the field for the profitable employment OF
labor and capital. 1t will increase the
transportation facilities and reduce freight
charges on the vast volume Of products
brought from the interior to the seaboard
for export, and will strengthen an arm
OF the national defence upon which the
founders of the Government and their sue
oessOrs have relied. In again urging I'M
mediate action by the Congress on meas
ures to promote American shipping and
foreign trade, l direct attention to the
recommendations on the subject in prev
ious messages, and particularly to the
opinion expressed in the message Of 1893:

favors the policy of aid to merchant marine.

THE POSTAL SERVICE.
Extension of Rural Free Delivery Of
Great Importance.

Great Importance.
The continued and rapid growth of the
postal service is sure index of the great
and increasing business activity of the
country. Its most striking new Develop
ment is the extension of rural free deliv-
cry. This has come almost wholly within
the last year. At the beginning of the
fiscal year 1S99-1900 the number of routes
in operation vas only 391, and most OF
these had been running less than twelve
months. On the 18th Of November. 1900,
the number had increased to 2.614. reach
ing into forty-four States and Territories,
and serving population of 1901 .524. The
number of applications now pending and
awaiting action nearly equals all those
granted up to the present time. and by
the close Of the current fiscal year about
1000 routes will have been established.
providing for the daily delivery OF malls
at the scattered homes of about three and
half millions of rural population.
This service ameli0rates the isolation
of farm life. conduces to good roads, and
quickens and extends the dissemination Of
general information. Experience thus far
has tended to allay the apprehension that
it would be so expensive as to forbid it1
general adoption or make 1t a serious bur-
den. Its actual application has shown
that it increases postal receipts. and can
be accompanied by reductions in other
branches OF the service, so that the aug
mented revenues and tho accomplished
savings together materially reduce the
net cost. The evidences which point to
these conclusions are presented in detail
in the annual report Of the Postmaster
General which with its recommendations
is commended to tho consideration of tho
Congress. The full development of this

Such Combinations as Are Injurious
Should He Restrnined.
In my last annual message to the Con-
gress / called attention to the necessity
for early action to remedy such evils as
might be found to exist in connection with
combinations of capital organized into
trusts, and again invite attention to my
discussion of the subject at that time,
which concluded with these words:
1t is apparent that uniformity of legislation
upon this subject in the several States is much
to be desired. 1t is to be hoped that such uni
fornity founded in wise and just discrinna-
ton between what is injurious and what is use
full and necessary in business operations, may be
obtained and that means may be found for the
Congress- within the limitations Of its consti-
tutional power, so to supplement- an effective
code Of State legislation as to make com.
plete system of laws throughout the United
States adequate to compel a general observance
of the sautary rules to which | have referred.

reaching that l am sure no part OF it Will be

as to the necessity for cable communities

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
Statistics of the Years Imports and
Exports.

Our foreign trade shows remarkable
record of commercial and Industrial pro-
gress. The total of imports and exports
for the first time in the history of the
cotsatry exec ded 81 DOC, 900. 900. The exports
are greater than they have ever been be-
fore, the total for the fiscal year 1900

greater than 1896 by s5l1, S76, IA.
The growth of manufactures in the
United States is evidenced by the fact that
exports of manufactured products largely
exceed those of any previous year, their
value for 1900 being $433, 1851, 1855, against
1899 5s2, JAG in 1899 an increase of rs per
cent.
Agricultural products were also export
ed during 1900 liz greater volume than in

The imports for the year amounted to
ssi3 ,1Si. an increase over 1899 of $751;
I92,595. This Increase Is largely in ma
teriaIs for manufacture, and is in response
to the rapid development of
manufacturing in the United States.
While there was imported for use
in manufactures in 1900 material to the
value of 9.76s,972 in excess of 1899 II is
reassuring to observe that there is a ten
dency toward decrease in the Importation
Of articles manufactured ready for con-

the Both Of June next the present volun-

In 1888 board of officers convened by
President Cleveland adopted a comprehen-
sivc scheme Of coast defence Notifications.
which involved the outlay of something
over s1O0.0O0.000. This plan received the
approval Of the Congress, and since then
regular appropriations have been made
and the work of fertilization has steadily
progressed.
More than $50 900, 900 have been invested
in great number of forts and guns, with
all the complicated and scientific ma
chinery and electrical appliances neces-
sary for their use. The proper care OF
this defensive machinery requires men
trained in its use. The number Of men
necessary to perform this duty alone il

minimum allowance, to be Il. APO.
There are fifty-eight or more military
posts in the United States other than the
coast defence Qualifications.
The number Of these posts is being con-
stantly increased by the Congress. More
than So, 600, 000 have been expended In
building and equipment, and they can
only be cared for by the Regular Army.
The posts now in existence and others to
be built provide for accommodations for,

troops. Many OF these posts are along

We have in Cuba between 5 600 and 200
troops. For the present our troops in
that island cannot be withdrawn or ma
terially diminished, and certainly not
until the conclusion of the labors of the
constitutional convention now in session
and a government provided by the new
constitution shall have been established
and its stability assured.
In Porto Rico we have reduced the gar
risons to 1886. which includes s79 native
troops. There is no room for further re-
duction here.
We will be required to keep a consider
able force in the Philippine Islands for
some time to come. From the best infor-
