WHEN It is considered that neither
Cuba nor Puerto Rico has yet returned
to anything ike normal conditions and
that there has been a condition OF act
ual warfare in the Philippines during
the year. the fact that the total exports
10 the islands i'm the year exceed those
of the palmiest days OF reciprocity
shows that when normal conditions re-
turn our exports to the islands will
greatly increase over those OF earlier
years. Our total exports TO cuba. Puer-
10 Rico, Hawaii. and the Philippine
Islands n the years OF their greatest
prosperity under the reciprocity rela-
tions OF 1899 and 1894 amounted to but
about thirVv-three million dollars. while
as already indicated, those OF 1899 will
be considerably in excess of forty mil
zion dollars, the total for the month
Of November having been over four
million dollars. This increase is found

the Minneapolis Times. The paper
is mammoth affair, comprising forty
two pages, and the commercial inter
ests of the Northwest, and also those
of our newly acquired possessions in

that the magnitude of the subjects
warrant. The Times is conducted
by a company at the head of which
is w. L. Haskell, whose first news

THE war i'm South Africa, which

THE war in South Africa, which
some people considered as practically
over, has this week assumed new
phase. The victorious career of
Lord Roberts is at least checked, and
the Boer success in ambuscading
Col. Broadwood's convoy and cap
turing six or seven guns and some
three hundred prisoners, is likely to
revive the spirts OF the Dutch COM
batants. In fact, all advices from the
seat of war denote an aggressiveness
among the Beers which show that
they are recovering in degree from
the effects OF their late disasters.
Though Gen. Joubert is dead, and
Gen. Cronje prisoner on his way
to St. Helena, still there seems to
be good leaders left and lots of fight
still manifest among the subjects of
Kruger and Steyn. In short, the
war is far from being over.

RURAL postal delivery has been
discussed for some time in Congress,
and its feasibility considered in all
its bearings by the postoflice depart
ment. The necessity Of daily
house to house delivery in sparsely
settled sections will be questioned by
many people, but on the other hand,
that the department should do every
thing that is feasible and expedient
towards the quick collection and
delivery of mail in the country dis
tricts is conceded. Rural box de-
livery, which can be called cross
between the present system and a
house to house delivery in the rural
districts, is being tried in some parts
of the country, and is likely to be put
in force in sections of Rhode
Island at an early date. Congress
man Capron has interested himself
in the matter and indications point
to the adoption of the plan in vari-
Gus parts Of his district. 1t is under
stood that Pocasset on the Hartford
Pike is likely to be made box deliv-
cry station, also Lazy Hollow, on
the Thornton line Of cars. That
such scheme can be carried out at
trifling cost and be great accom-
mediation to many people cannot be
doubted.

it is hoped that he will be able to resume
business soon. Mr.. Deschenes has been
very sick for several weeks, but is now

Friday morning about 4 o'clock fire
broke out in Guinan & Edwards livery
barn, and ina few minutes had made
such Roadway that the fire department
could not get the flames under control.
The building was almost completely
ruined, and three horse were burned to
death, together with all the harnesses in
the barn. Eight other horses and the
carriages were removed by hard work.
The main building was owned by VIM.
Livingston and wing on the east side
was the property Of Guinan & Edwards,
who carried 81, 800 on that portion of the
barn and their livery equipment. The
hostler was asleep in the Office and was
awakened by the smoke, but not before
it was too late to save three of the horses,
which were in separate part of the
building. The fire is supposed to have
started from a defective stovepipe.
