COMMERCE WITH THE ISLANDS.
Some Facts About Trade with Cuba.
Porto Rico and Hawaii.

Porto Rico and Hawaii.
Washington, Jan. S.-Commerce with Gu
ba, Porto Rico, and the Hawaiian, Philip
pine and Samoan Islands during the eleven
months ending with November, fully justi-
fies the belief that the new relations which
those islands sustain to the United States
will result in great increase in our com
merce with them, and especially in an in
crease of our exports TO them
The total exports from the United States
to the four islands or groups of islands
will amount in the calendar year 1899 to
considerably more than 100000, the total
for the eleven months, ending with No
vember being $S7 ,S54 40, as compared with
less than $20000,0O0 last year. When it is
considered that neither Cuba nor Porto
Rico has yet returned to anything like
normal conditions and that there has been
a condition of actual warfare in the Phil
ippines during the year, the fact that the
total exports to the islands in the year
exceed those of the palmiest days of reci-
procity, shows that when normal condi-
tons return our exports to the islands will
greatly increase over those of earlier
years. Our total exports to Cuba, Porto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippine Islands in
the years of their greatest prosperity I'M
der the reciprocity relations of 1898 and
1894 amounted to but about 1913, 900 900,
while, as already indicated those of 1899
will be considerably in excess of $4,000, 001
the total for the month of November hav-
ing been over 81, 600.
This increase is found in the case of
each of the islands, the exports to Cuba
being, in eleven months of 1899, $22 742, 141,
against $S7i1 77229 in the corresponding
months of 1898; to Porto Rico, So 365, 292
against 81, 90 0l4 in 1898; to the Hawaiian

JACKSONVILLE TERMINAL CASE.
Supreme Court Reversed the Recent
Action of Judge Call.

Supreme Court Reversed the Recent
Action of Judge Call.
Tallahassee, Fla, Jan. Sin the Su-
preme Court to-day in the case of the
Atlantic, Valdosta and Western Railroad
VS.. the Jacksonville Terminal Company,
Justice Carter filed an opinion reversing
the order of Judge Call quashing the al
Tentative writ directed to the terminal
company to obey the order of the Rail-
road Commissioners by admitting the rail-
road company TO the privileges of the ter
minal companys union station.
Early in 1899 the Atlantic. Valdosta and
Western Railroad a new road, applied for
admission with equal privileges to the ter
ninaA station. The Railroad Commission
decided In favor of the petitioners, but
the terminal company would not assent.
On mandamus proceedings the Circuit
Court sustained the terminal company, and
the Railroad Commission then look the
matter up to the Supreme Court, with the
result that Judge Calls judgment was re-
versed.
The court after disposing of all the
grounds of the motion to quash and of
every contention made by the defendant
in error under the grounds, says:
1--WE are of the opinion that the aNerna-
tive writ states a prima facie case and
ought not to have been quashed. 1t may
he that the clause in the regulation which
undertakes to relieve the defendant in
error from liability for negligence, is out
side of the powers granted to the COM
missioners, but if so, 1t could not affect
the result and as the parties have not
argued the question we do not decide. 1t
is certain that in other respects the regu-
lation is prima face valid and capable
of being enforced by mandamus. The
judgment Of the Circuit Court is reversed,
with directions to overrule the motion to
auash and for further proceedings &C
cording 20 law"

Among the group of Jackson's great
men, the able and polished gentle
man, the Rev. c. H. Philips, A. NJ, NJ.
d., d. D., editor of the Christian In
deX, the official organ of the C. NJ. E.
Church, stands forth the most con-
spicuous as a writer, preacher and
leader. DR.. Philips is one of the most
prominent and able leaders of the
race. Excepting the. bishops, he ranks
as the leader of his church and the
leading representative OIL colored
Methodism in this country. He per-
tains to type of man so rare that
we can enumerate only few other
examples in the galaxy of great men
to which he belongs. With an imagi-
nation rich and sublime, an intellect
deeply cast in the literary and orato-
rical mould, wonderfully united by
the combination Of the imaginative,
the profound, and the practical, a ge-
MUS of the gifted few, he is truly the
leader of his church, and is recognized
leader of his race. His sobriety of
mind, unselfshness of spirit and devo-
tion of loyalty and love for his
church, give him the power of seeing
what in all circumstances was best to
be done for his church. This is his
second term of four years as editor of
the official organs An honor con-
ferred upon no other former editor of
the Christian Index. As an author his
works take their places in high, valu-
able and enduring literature. His
History of the C. NJ. E. Church is the
gem of negro productions, and shows
himself equally at home in the depths
as on the heights. AS a preacher, his
bueyant enthusiasm and herculean
powers distinguish him as one of the
most magnetic and powerful pulpit
orators of America.

DEAN AND PRINCIPAL.

The election of the dean and prin-

in Hebrew, Latin and Greek, was prac-
tically in the hands of the Tennessee
bishop and the conferences board of
trustees. The rapid progress and
crowning success of the college, both
in tone and numbers, snow their great
wisdom in the election of the young
and brilliant Rev. c. A. Leftwich, A.
B., A. NJ, B. D., D. D., who recently
united with the C. M. E. conference
of Georgia. He was elected in Sep
tember, 1898. He came to his work
well equipped and full of enthusiasm
and energy. He received the degree
of B. A. and M. A. from his alma
mater, Howard University, and the
degree B. D. from his alma mater,
Cannon Theological Seminary, and
in 1897 the honorary degree D. D.
from Payne University. He was
professor in Morgan College, Lynch
burg, Va, and Goodman Institute,
Jacksonville, Fla. There was also a
providential fitness in his election, be-
cause the personality of young DR..
Leftwich is impressive, his polished,
polite and happy manner is popular;
his art of teaching is mastery; his
gifted oratorical ability is both pow
erful and persuasive. DR.. Leftwlch
has many warm friends and strong
