occasional clatter of horses hoofs as the
Hussars and Lancers trotted into view, or
the rattle of the heavy gun carriages as
they numbered by. Then there was break

Statistics Showing Increase of Philip
pine Commerce.
An interesting statement comparing the
commerce of the Philippines for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1900 with the trade
Of the islands under Spanish administration
has been made public by the division of in
sular affairs. War Department. Even with
the extremely unsettled conditions prevail
ing in the Philippines, 1T Is stated an
analysis Of the trade statistics shows that
the import trade for the last fiscal year
was the largest of any year since 1880. The
total value of all imports into the islands
for the year is set down at s23 ,039, JS7. The
approximate value OF imports during 1898,
1896 and 1897 gives figure not larger than
$1O,OOO,OOO in any one of them. From 1880
to 1894 the average annual imports are
reckoned at about s17,OOO.0OO.
The average annual imports from the
United States alone from 1887 to 1891 are
set down at $t30 6a2 and from 1892 to 1896
at $13J,22S For the last fiscal year the
value of imports direct from the United
States was 81 ,6'l6 469 over ten times great
er than the annual average from 80 to

countries shows the Increase In the case of
France. 135 per cent: Germany, 81 per

The principal articles Of import were cot

drugs and dyes. breadstuffs. paper, meat
and dairy products, malt liquors and cider,
books and printed matter, glassware iron,
steel, leather and wines and cordials.
AS to the exports from the Philippines.
the statement sets forth an increase in
the value last year, G21, 1866 400, or 6 per
cent over the annual average from 1880 to
1894, $50, .96l) of per cent While the
value Of exports from the islands has been
maintained, 1t is stated, the quantities have
ma terially decreased. This is said to be
particularly true in the case of manila
hemp. For example, the total expectation
Of this commodity last year amounted to
over 5000 tons, valued at $11 1898, 943. while
the quantity exported during 1894 was over
$4,000 tons, but only valued at 81, 245, $40.
In this regard the collector Of customs for
the islands in his report to the United
States military governor stated:
1.-The decline Is partly accounted for by
the disturbed condition Of the country,
which has interrupted and prevented agri-
cultural and productive development and
partly by hemp, the principal article Of ex-
port heretofore. being held up in the Is
lands. 1t Is believed. by interested parties
until 1t suits their financial convenience to
export it."

LAD DROWNED IN POND.
Was Skating ON the Ice and Broke
Through.

Harold Rciss, fifteen years old, was
drowned in pond near the Soldiers Home
about 4:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon I'M
der peculiarly sad circumstances. The de-
ceased was a son of William ReisS Of No.
1412 Kenesaw avenue. He went on the
rond with several little friends and was
engaged in a game of hockey when his
cousin, VIM. Holmead of 1851 18th street
northwest, suddenly broke through the ice
and disappeared Young Reiss went to his
rescue and he, too, broke through the ice.
Carl Widmayer of 1921 Brightwood avenue
threw a tree branch to the boys. and by
means Of this pulled Holmead from the
water.
In few minutes quite crowd of peo-
pie gathered about the pond and there
was Intense excitement. Young Re:ss
had gone through the ice some distance
from the edge of the pond. and in the con-

The police reserve from the eighth pre-

were summoned to be there when the body
was recovered. In the hope that there would
be spark OF life remaining The Rev.

SUBSIDY BILL FIGHT,
NicaraEuan Canal and Other PROPOSE
tons OMered as Amendments.

The ship subsidy bill was before the Sem
ate yesterday afternoon from 1 until .
o'clock, and in order to advance 1t mo-
ton was agreed to for a session beginning
at IL o'clock this morning. Most Of the
time OF the Senate was occupied yesterday
afternoon by speeches OF Senator Rawlins
of Utah and Berry OF Arkansas. Mr.. Clay
of Georgia, toward the close of the day.
offered an amendment proposing to link the
Nicaragua canal bill with the shipping bin
and a spirited debate followed this sugges-
ton. Mr.. Frye and Mr.. Chandler opposed
this proposition as one calculated to embar-
rass and delay the shipping bill. Mr. Frye
appealed to senators to permit the mu-
5ority, after fair debate, to assume its re-
sponsibllities as a majority of passing the
shipping bill Messrs. Jones of Arkansas
and Teller of Colorado insisted that there
should be no limitation of debate. Mr.
Morgan of Alabama. In charge of the Mica
ragua canal bill, disapproved the plan for
linking the canal and the shipping bills
Its.
Mr.. Berry said the bill was drawn by
committee composed OF ship owners, who
would be benefited by 1t.
Mr.. Frye said expert knowledge was nee
essary in drawing such bill which could
not be intrusted to democratic senators OPP
posed to it and whose speeches showed pro-
found ignorance of the subject.
Mr.. Berry said he would have intrusted
the framing of the bill to a committee rep
resenting agriculture and all other classes
rather than to one composed OF ship build
ing experts personally interested in its ben
effts.
Mr.. Tilman Is. c., proposed an amend
ment which proved to be extremely long,
reiat ting to common carriers. After ten
pages had been read, the amendment was
temporarily laid aside to permit Mr.. Stew
art to make a speech in favor of the bill.
The tremendous advantage Great Bril-
tain held in ocean commerce, Mr..
Stewart said, could not be- overcome by in
dividual effort. Private capital could not
compete with governmental encourage

domination Of the seas by Europe was for
the United States government to give its
shipping the same advantages as those en-
joyed by foreign shipping interests. II
there was to be monopoly of the seas, Mr..
Stewart wanted 1t to be an American
monopoly.
On motion of Mr.. Hoar It was agreed
that the Senate assemble at GAS am ON

part in the ceremonies in memory OF Chief
Justice Marshall.
Mr.. Pettgrew Is. d. offered an amend-
ment to the shipping bill. restricting com.

Mr.. Clay Ga.) then offered the amendment
providing for the acquisition from Costa

precipitated continued until adjournment.

PRIVATE JOHN ALLEYS LATEST.
He Pleads Successfully for . Fish
Hatchery at TupelO.

Tupelo, Miss, will in all probability have
a fish hatchery added to its already numer-
Gus attractions, If a bill which has re-
ceived the unanimously favorable report Of
the House committee on merchant marine
and fisheries becomes law. Representa-
tive John Allen Of Tupelo secured this re-
suit. He appeared before the committee
yesterday morning and made a plea that
would have melted the heart of the most
rigid economist in Congress. He referred
to the years he had spent in the House
wrestling with the cares attendant on the
transaction of the public business, the de-
lightful associations, the many tender rec
objections and the pleasant "reminiscences.
He referred to his own generosity in al
ways being willing to grant every member
all he asked for his district. By this time
there were suspicious of tears in the eyes
of the more susceptible members OF the
committee.
And, Mr. Chairman concluded Mr.. AL
len, II am about to retire from the scenes
Of my labors, of my trials and triumphs
and leave the burden of conducting the at
fairs of the nation to be laid upon younger
shoulders. But in my old age. when 1 am
far away from the scene Of public strife
and hear no longer the clash of wit and
wisdom in forensic debate; when / long
for some reminder of old times and once
familiar faces what them Mr.. Chairman?
All, that is the time when / shall wander
through the rooms of the fish hatchery|if
you pass this bill-which will then grace
the beautiful city of Tupelo, and watch the
little fishes hatch, and marvel at the Won
ders of nature. And. Mr.. Chairman, shall
see exemplified the truth of the adage that
"a sucker is born every minute.
Mr.. Aliens appeal was most successful
and as Representative Grosvenor wiped the
tears from mis- eyes he remarked that the
committee had occasion to thank Mr.. Allen
for being so moderate in his request, for
after such a plea he could have had any
thing he desired at the hands of the COM
mittee.

who has given much thought to our insular

matter presents a question for Congress to
deal with.

porter, was fixed by Congress- and the
decision as to the fulfilment of the re-
quirements of the legislative provision

That a husband Is not bound to support a
wife who smokes cigarettes Is the effect of
a decision made by Judge Finletter in the
desertion court in Philadelphia.
Herbert Stanlan was before the court
charged with non-support of his comedy
young wife, Marie, to whom he has been
married only six months. The woman
stated that her lord had failed to pro-
vide either home or funds for her.
The judge was about to make the usual
order for Herbert to pay his wife so much

the wife if it were true that she smoked
cigarettes
Il smoke them" was the snappy reply.
Then the lawyer asked her to show the
Judge her fingers that he might see the
nicotine stains on them.

he tried to get glimpse of the fingers
