By Gen. Grant in bis first administra

Custom House at Richmond, Va. This
position he held with honor and credit
from June 1870 until August 1885, serv

higheF and more noble work in Dlfe, the
work of the gospel ministry. He en-
tered the Richmond Theological In

licensed to preach in 1874 and ordained

life has beeh a busy one. With bis
parents he moved to Richmond when
twelve years Of tge and was put in such
schools as was given 10 colored people
at thst time. Al tender age he joined
the church, but his early career was
devoted to politics. Gifted and brilliant
by nature he added to these charms by
a dilligeIb course of reading. At an
early age he was noted for his brilliancy
and for his eloquence. An active young
republican he occupied every position

The friends and members of Shiloh
Baptist church were in gracious mood
last Tuesday evening. The church was
decorated in gala day attire and looked
as beautiful as bright June morning
Its capacity was tested by represen-
tative gathering of citizens within and
from without the city. The occasion
was in honor OF the degree Of Doctor Of
Divinity conferred by Guadalupe Col
lege, Seguin, Texas, on Rev. j. Auder-
son Taylor. the pastor Of the church.
The exercises began al o'clock and
were interesting from beginning to
end. Rev. William J. Howard pastor
of Zion Baptist church, acted as master
Of ceremonies and filled the position TO
the satisfaction Of all. A musical pro-
gram was arranged by che good choir
inter. persed with short and apprOppri-
ate addresses by many distinguished
divines. Among those who spoke were
Revs. Walter II. Brooks, w, J. Howard
George w. Lee, W. B. Johnson, Francis
J. Grimke and A. P. Miller. One of
the features OF the evening was the elo
quent acknowledgement OF the honers
conferred On him by DR.. Taylor. In
this brief speech he rehearsed the his
tory of the church in it's early struggles
and told the story of his own tribula'
tion in bringing it to its present high
plain Of work and Of excellence. DR..
Psylor is Virginian by birth and spent
the early years of his life IN Richmond.
During his long and useful career in
this oity and as pastor of Shiloh Bap-
tist church he has made friends by the
scose He has brought Shiloh baptist

fee that 10 is today, and the member

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.
The Foreign Trade of the Countr,
for December.

The preliminary figures on the exports
and imports Of the country for the month
of December and the year 1899, issued yes
terday by the Bureau of Statistics, shows
the total exports for the year TO be 81 ,275,-
1856 54l. and total imports, s799, S3s $40, the
excess Of exports over imports for the year
being $415. e52.02l.
The figures of imports for the year are
chiefly interesting on account of their great
increase over previous years. The imports
in 1898 were 1864, 964, AS, the gain for the
year being $l5j, 00O, 600. The total OF i'm
ports has been greater in only one previous
year in the country's history, 1895, when
they reached Ss0l ,669,347. The exports for
the year are the largest in history, but they
show relatively smaller increase over last
year than the imports. The exports in 1888
were 81, 255, 546, 2e6 the gain for the year
thus being only s?oO0O.0Oo The exports in

RAILWAYS IN AUSTRALIA.
Nr. singIston's Description of Trans
pOrtntiOn at the Antipodes,

Robert Singleton. of Melbourne, Aus
tralia. was a caller at the White House
yesterday. He came in company with Mr.
Morgan. Of Baltimore, who introduced him
TO the President.
Mr.. Singleton Is a railway baron in
his own country, and he has come to the
United States for the double purpose of
visiting his native land and Of studying
railroads and methods OF transportation in
this country. In the course of conversa-
ton with a reporter for The Times yes
terday Mr.. Singleton gave an interesting
account OF railway building and develop
ment in Australia
According 10 his account there are prae-
ticslly three railway systems in that
coul try. having connections at their
cxtremities. Mr.. Singleton is at the head
of the Victoria railway system, having its
centre in Melbourne. 1t traverses the prov
ince and connects with the line running
to Sydney. The system, Mr.. Singleton
declares. is in a flourishing condition, and
compares favorably with any OF equal
mileage In England or the United States.
Railway development in Australia has
been a matter of about forty years. In
1860 there was not mile of railroad in
operation In Australia. though at that time
three roads were projected, and the right
OF way had been secured for two OF them.
Now there are 1900 miles OF steam and
electric railways in Australia, and the set
tied parts of the island are well supplied
with cheap and effective transportation.
There Mr.. Singleton remarked. ''as in
your Western States, wheat has been the
product seeking transportation. and which
has made the enormous multiplication of
railroads possible. OF course we carry
cattle, ore. coal. and many other things,
but IL is the wheat which has been the
great incentive to railway building
The railways Of Australia were orig
inally built. according TO Mr.. Singleton.
on English models, but some years ago
American methods were introduced TO
some degree, and the tendency is, he
thinks, TO work toward the American sys-
TEN rather than the British.
Mr.. Singleton is a firm believer in the
future greatness Of Australia. He be-
lieves the proposed federation will be an
accomplished fact within a few years. and
that the country then will have consist
ent and rapid national development. much
like that enjoyed by the United States.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat, Corn. and Provisions Show n
Loss for the Day.


CHICAGO. Jan. 16.-Wheat ruled fairly
steady until the noon hour, when ii weak
ened upon Bradstreet's report of an in
crease of 100000 bushels in the worlds
visible. which started liquidation by COM
mission houses. Prices sold off 1-2c from
last nights close. without any sign OF raj
lying. Shorts were about the only buyers.
Liverpool was S-sd lower. Cash sales here
were smaller 10000 bushels. The sea-
board reported IS loads taken.
Corn showed a steadiness even after the
severe wheat break. tonight's prices being
a trife better than Monday. But at one
time they showed Lee advance over Mon
day. Washington today announces that the
much heralded Government report, feared
by the longs and anticipated by the bears,
is not to be out this month. People who
have been putting out short corn lines on
the strength took them back in a hurry
and people who have been letting go long
lines reinstated them. Naturally toward
the close the coarse grain, in a measure,
felt the wheat depression and lost most
OF its rally. There has been better ship
ping demand in the last forty eight hours.
Liverpool was unchanged.
The only development in oats mas been
the increase of their discount under corn.
This discount should increase with any
activity in corn. Oats receipts were 3i6
cars with l25 for tomorrow. In the past
two days cash oats sales have aggregated
about 100000 bushels.
Provisions closed easy at a sharp decline
Influenced by lower hog and grain markets.
There was heavy realizing. particularly
by local grain traders. The offerings were
taken largely by packers and leading To-
cal operator. The buying on outside or
ders was liberal. The cash trade con-
tinues good. with a marked Improvement
in export demand for lard

Manager Hnnlon Intimates That Bat
tim0re VIII Leave the Icnuue

BALTIMORE. Jan. 1e.-Manager Hanlon
denied emphatically last night. before
leaving for Pittsburg, that he has been
outside OF the city for several weeks. lie
says he has not seen any of the other
members OF the syndicate. and though he
is in correspondence with Mr.. Ebbetts he
knows nothing Of the baseball situation
except what he reads in the papers. OF
one thing he seems assured, that some
move will be made within the next few
days. Ii seems evident from Mr.. Ha. =
Ions manner that Baltimore will be drop
ped from the National League. He gives
one the impression that the circuit COM
mittee is going to give the syndicate its
price for the franchise.
Meanwhile plans for the American AS
sociati0u's entrance here are maturing.
Manager McGraw is getting thoroughly
acquainted with the situation before he
makes any statement of his course but
when he Dies this, the way will already
have been paved for rapid development.
President Hanlon had talk with his last
seasons manager yesterday. and while no
intimatlon Of what passed could be gained,
IL is believed that inducements were Of
