WASHINGTON, D. O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY, 1901
OUR AGRICULTURE.
Growth Of United States Trade with FOrslgu
COuntrles..AIl Records Broken.

Washington Especially Mr.. Frank
II. Hitchcock, chief of the section Of
foreign markets Of the Agricultural
Department, has Just issued his an
nual review of the trade Of the United
States in agricultural products. His re-
port says In part
The fiscal year 1900 brought to a
close century of marvellous develop
ment in the history of United States
commerce. In 1900 century ago, the
total value Of the merchandise inn
ported and exported in our trade with
foreign countries was considerably less
Ohan a quarter Of a billion dollars. The
value Of the goods exchanged during
the past fiscal year reached nearly two
and a quarter billions, far exceeding
all previous records.
1t was chiefly in the export trade
that the enormous growth of the CEN
tury occurred Our domestic exports
during 1900, with a recorded value OF
31O,763,571, were over 40 times as
large as in 1900. The total imports
for 1900, on the other hand, amounting
to So49, ,1S4, were less than 10 times
as large as in 1900
Compared with the value Of our inn
ports for 1900, that Of our domestic eX-
ports showed an excess of $500, ,S22,-
S87"
OF the merchandise imported from
foreign countries during the fiscal
year 1900 about 49 per cent. consisted
OF agricultural products. These pro-
ducts had an aggregate value of $42O,-
l36,3S1, exceeding almost by $65, 100000
the record of the year before Hides,
SILK and wool we're the leading factors
In the growth, although vegetable
iibers, sugar and tobacco also showed
important gains. The six items men
toned contributed nearly 100000, 900 to
the increase in value.
Products Of United States agricul-
ture were marketed abroad in the As
cal year 1900 to the value of $844,616,-
$50, forming but 62 per cent. of the
total domestic exports. With the single

An Old Man Hangs Himself

Philadelphia, Pa. Especially Ed
ward d. Cornell, retired hat manu-
facturer, committed suicide by hang
ing Heavy losses in the stock mar
ket are said to have prompted the act.
Mr. Cornell was 78 years old. He was
born in New York. and started in the
hat manufacturing business at Orange,
N. j., with John B. Stetson as a part
ner. Withdrawing from that firm, he
came to this city and established a
business. He retired and went to
South Norwalk, Ct, where he resided
for a number of years. He returned to
this city about year ago. For many
years Mr.. Cornell was president Of
the Hatters' Union.

PULLMANs MAY SELL OUT.
Big Syndicate Said to Be Planning Purchase
Of Company.

Chicago (SpeclaD 1T is now rumor-
ed that the Hartman -Morgan-Vander-
pit railroad syndicate is planning to
buy out the Pullman Car Company and
absorb so far as possible, all the pri-
Vate car companies.
For some time, it is said, the syndl-
cate has been negotiating for the pur-
chase of a controlling interest in the
Pullman Company. Just how far the
negotiations for the absorption of the
sleeping car concern have progressed
cannot be learned, but 1T is the pre-
vailing opinion that the deal is on.
The Pullman Company controls the
sleeping-car privileges of every rail-
road in the United States except the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul and
the New York, New Haven and Hart
FORD. In the general plan of cOnsOlida-
tion the two companions doing busi-
ness on these roads will also be pur-
chased with those of the Pullman.

Havana (Special) The Cuban Con-
stitutional Convention Is progressing
rapidly with It's discussion Of the
draft constitution submitted by the
central committee.
Several articles relating to provin-
cial government and the method Of
electing officials have been tabled until
after the adoption Of the electoral law.
Two important articles for considera-
tion will deal with universal suffrage
and the powers Of provincial govern
ments. When once these have been
disposed of the work of drafting the
tnal project will be a question of only
a few days.
In the discussion several interesting
arguments were made on the liability
OF the President of the republic for
crimes committed. against the State
and on the method Of trying the Presi-
dent for such offenses. General Rivera
favored holding the President liable
for any infraction of the law. SenOr
Nunez and Senor Rafael Portuondo
cOntended that he should be liable only
for reasonable acts. The latter view
was favored by a majority of the dele
gates and the article referring to the
liability was slightly amended, the
Senate retaining authority to try the
President for reasonable acts, and the
only penalty being removal from Of
fee. This, however, does not revoke
the right of the courts to hold the
President amenable.
The fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh,
eighth and ninth sections and ten ar
tlcles in the tenth section were adopt
ed with only minor changes from the
original draft A further article was
added to the fourth section, giving the
right to expel any foreigner who might
be regarded as "perniciOus to the Gov
ernment."
The long-standing controversy be-
tween Michael j. Dady, contractor, and
the military and municipal govern
ments regarding the sewering and
paving contract has been settled by the
payment to Mr.. Dady of $3.50, 900. Mr.
Dady gave a bond Of similar amount
that he was authorized on behalf of
the Dady Company to make the set
tlement and to release all claims.
