court yesterday the jury returned verdict
ner of Ardmore; Bonner was charged

Exports to New Possessions.

The fiscal year which closes In a little
more than two weeks will show very
gratifying increase in our exports TO our
new possessions and TO Cuba, which has
been on terms OF close relationship since
the termination of the Spanish war. The
total exports for the year to the Hawa-
liam Islands will be about $4,000 600, or
five times as much as in 1898. nearly
four times as much as in 1896 and more
than double the total for 1898 The eX-
ports TO Puerto Rico will aggregate
about 81. 500 900 against an average of
81. $50, 600 in the reciprocity years of
1892. 1898, 1894. when exports TO the is
land were double those of earlier years.
The exports to the Philippines for the
year. il is estimated. will be about
81. 500. 900. or more than during the entire
period since 1885, the date when the
first record of our exports to the Phil
ippines was made by the treasury bu
resu of statistics. To the Samoan is
lands the exports during the year will
be about sl25,0 or nearly as much as
during the period since 1896, at which
time the first record was made of trade
with these islands of the South sea.
To Cuba the total of exports seems
likely to be $25 900, 900 against $3.50. 900
in the fiscal year 1896 and s24, 157 900 in
the great reciprocity year 1898. when ex
ports to the island were more than
double those of five years earlier. Cuba
is also beginning to export again. The
total imports from Cuba into the United
States for the year will probably be
s31, 900 900 as against S15.000.0 600 in 1898,
and SIS, 500. 900 in 1897, although they are
less than half the average for the reci-
procity years 1893, 1894. 1895. when our
imports from the island averaged over
5000 600 per annum.
The exports for the year TO all
these islands with which we have come
into closer relations will reach s45 O00,-
900. which is more than three times as
much as in 1896 and more than twice
as much as in any other year in the
past except during the reciprocity
period.

to all. As such it will have a no less
powerful effect on public opinion than
the Fifth ward meeting and the organ
ization of the county committee. The
Republicans of King county have pass
ed beyond the reach of personal dicta-
tion. and each succeeding event demon
strates its futility. They give hearty
praise 10 the members of the King
county club for their effort to pro-
mote harmony and unity of action,
and will be still further enlightened
by what these efforts have brought to
the light.
