OUR ISLAND MARKETS.
French Journal Shows Their Value to
the United States.

The prospective value of Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Hawaiian. Philippine and
Samoan Islands as markets for the
products of the farm and factory in the
United States, is illustrated by a recent
publication in the Moniteur 0tficiel du
Commerce, an official publication of the
French Government, which discusses at
considerable length the consuming
powers of those islands and their con
Sequent economic value 10 the United
States, and the prospective increase in
their consuming powers through en-
larGed production under Am arican cap
ltal The statement is as follows:
The consumption OF foreign products
by these islands is made up almost
equally of articles of manufacture and
of agriculture of the temperate zone.
out of $50, l25.321 worth of products
exported from the United States to
Cuba in 1894 the value Of S9A409 l3
was in products of agriculture Out of
SlS,6l6.3T1 worth of exports for the
year 1899, $9,799,513 worth belonged to
the United States to the Pearl of the
Antilles are made up principally of ce-
reals, live animals. salt meat. cotton
goods, machinery. footwear, instru-
ments, etc.
Spain, under normal conditions. sold
annually to Cuba. Porto Rico and the
Philippines, about S40000,OOO worth of
goods, principally manufactured arti-
cles, besides wines. oils. flour meats
and vegetables. Out of 1875 100000 pc
setaS' worth of merchandise shipped
from Spain TO Cuba In 1896, about 80,
100000 represented the value of prod
ucts of agriculture. The proportion was
nearly the same in the case of Porto
Rico and the Philippine Islands
Speaking generally, we may assume
that under normal condiu ms the sur
plus production of Cuba and the Philip
pines before the war amounted TO about
Sl2o.OOO,000 annually, and their con
sumption to Sl00,000,000 but that their
productive power is capable of great in

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.
Effect of United States, as Great
Power, ut Hague Conference.


Power, at Hague Conference.
Following immedi. tely after the
brilliant naval and military achieve
mants of the Spanish-American war,
the Peace Conference at The Hague
afforded the Government of the United
States an opportunity of expressing
the pacific disposition and the love of
justice which animate the American
people by proposing, through its dele
gates, a plln for international arbitra-
ton. which, Reinforced by other sim
liar propositions. resulted in a conven-
ton for the pacific settlement of inter
national disputes signed by the pleni.
potentiaries of twenty-,wo sovereign
states, Including all the great powers
| of Europe.
The United States, in signing this
great compact, AT the same time in
sisted on reatirming. in the document
itself, our adherence TO the Monroe doc
trine, and thus gained for that vital
principle of our policy the recognition
of the world.
Without cherishing Illusions with re-
gard to the practicability of universal
peace, 1t is yet possible TO believe that
the existence of a permanent interna-
t!onal tribunal before which differ
euces may be adjudicated in their in
cipiency and before their accumula-
ton becomes serious, will exercise IA
profound influence toward a better and
more rational solution of disputes be
tween nations. The numerous arrange
ments for the arbitration of special
questions. which the Department of
State has recently been able 10 effect,
give evidence of growing disposition
to apply the principles of peaceful
adjudication TO the solution Of contro-
vrrses wherever practicable.

p. m. in the formally expressed opinion
that Jester is innocent.
This famous trial. which has now been
brought to a close, is perhaps without a
parallel. Alexander Jester was charged
with the murder of boy companion, Gu
bert Gates, near Paris, Mo, in 1871.

the allegations upon which the State de-

WILL SAVE MANY LIVES.
Law Compelling Automatic Car Coup
Iers Now Effective.

IerS NOW EncCtlNe.
\ national statute that will result in a
great saving of human life became effec-
tive on the morning of Aug. /. Ii is the
law providing hat all railway cars en-
gagged in interstate traffic shall be fitted
with automatic couplers and air brakes.
Hereafter any railway company that
uses a car not thus fitted will be liable to
a fine of 800 for each offense
For years the labor people have fought
70" this law. The number of accidents
on the different lines, due to the lack of
the coupler, were becoming appalling. In
Its annual reports the interstate com
merce commission advocated its passage.
An average of 30 employees were killed
annually while coupling cars. while those
injured in the performance of that duty
averaged $500 yearly.
Outside of the accidents to employees
the coupler and brake also affected the
general travelling public, for had they
been in use it is believed that many dis
asters would have been avcrted. When
it is shown that in the last ten years the
railway accidents in the United States
have injured from 10000 to 10000 an
nually and that the deaths which result
ed numbered from COCO to 5000 year
it can easily be seen what effect the brake
and coupler might have had in preventing
the horrors and preserving life.
The first bill for the automatic coup
Ter and brake was passed March ,. 1898
This, however was several times amend
ed. in accord with the views of the labor
organizations, and now the act has be-
come operative.
Since the passage of the law the inter
state commerce commission has given the
railroads two extensions OF time in which
to comply with its provisions The first
extension was for one year, and the last,
granted last December, was for six
months

in its possession. believes that the i'm

Tuan. the father Of the heir apparent,
has direcs,d the hostile demonstrations.
Whatever the purpose of these attacks,
they were hostile to this Government.
