Trade With south America.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Of the total
imports of all South America, 81 per
cent. is taken by the countries border
ing upon the two oceans, and but 13
per cent. by those upon the Caribbean.
On the eastern coast of South America
we find Brazil importing in 1899 goods
to the value of over $105,000,000, of
which the United States supplied about
10 per cent; Uruguay and Paraguay,
SIG, 900 600, of which our share was less
than per cent, and Argentine, $112,-
OOO, 900, of which about 10 per cent.
was from the United States, while a
tour of the Pacific coast shows imports
into Chile of SIS, 5000, 900, Peru $780,
600, Bolivia $11,6OO0,000 and Ecuador,
$7,00O,000; the proportion from the
United States averaging about 10 per
cent Thus the northern coast of
South America, fronting on the Carrib-
bean Sea, imports goods to the value
of SIG, 900, 900, of which we supply an
average of % per cent; the eastern
coast, fronting upon the Atlantic,
s275. 600, 900; and the Pacific coast
$50, 900 900; of which our proportion is
in each case about 10 per cent.

Noted Methodist Divine Passes Away-End

Jackson, Tenn Oct. 13.-Rev. DR..
w. T. Harris died at S:55 o'clock this
morning. Since ali early hour yester-
day morning his death has been
momentarily expected.
Or. Harris was, perhaps, the Oldest
and best known minister in the Mem
phis conference, and was a man of
great learning. Only short time ago
DR.. Harris presided at mass meeting
of citizens of Jackson, at which resO-
Iutions deploring the assassination of
the president were drafted. He was in
tensely Democratic, but not in the
partisan spirit, and upon this occasion
expressed thanks that he had been
permitted to live to see a reunited
country. In war, as in peace, he was
notable figure. He followed the star
of Gen. Forrest, and when war was
over returned to his ministerial duties,
which he closely followed all the years
of his long life.
The funeral services will be held at
the First Methodist church in this
city at o'clock Monday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. Drs. Hammer and
A. B. Jones. The remains will lie in
state in the church until the early
train Tuesday morning, when they will
be removed to Martin, Tenn, for in

SPANISH GRANTS UPHELD.
Important Decision Involving Water
Rights Rendered in Mexico.

kmportant DeSls1On Involving Water
Rights Rendered in Mexico.
Mexico City, Oct. IAN important
decision involving water rights has
been rendered by the Federal govern
ment and will probably affect New
York capitalists. A year and a half
ago the town government of Almo-
loya, in the State of Mexico, granted
a right to one-third of the water from
the sources of the Leerma river to
William Mckenzie. This aroused the
farmers and towns along the river
which flows through several important
States and they petitioned the Federal
government, asking that the conces-
sion be declared null and void. The
case has been carefully studied and
decision just rendered declaring that
the concession is contrary to public
policy and private rights, most of the
landowners along the river holding
their grants from the crown of Spain.
The decision affirms the right Of the
Federal government to control the
sources of the river.

WORLDS WHEAT CROP.
Three Estimates Place 1t in Excess Of the
Yield of Preceding Two Years.

Three Estimates Place 1t in Excess of the
Yield of Preceding Two Years.
Washington, Oct. 13.-The Depart
ment of Agriculture announces that
the three most important estimates of
the worlds wheat crop of 1901, so far
made, agree that the crop is larger
than that of either of the two preced-
ing years.
The estimates follow: Hungarian
ministry of agriculture, 2,671, 330, 900
bushels Of sixty pounds; Beerbohm's
Corn List of London, 2,711, 100000
bushels of sixty pounds, and Bulletin
Des Halles of Paris, 2,79O, 100000 Win
chester bushels. Our department with
helds its opinion as to the degree in
which the worlds crop has been APP
proximated in any of these estimates
until considerably larger number Of
official returns is available.
The official Hungarian estimate
says the crop exceeds last years by
209, 1871 900 bushels of sixty pounds, or
by 212, 100000 Winchester bushels. Ac-
cording to Beerbohm, the excess over
last years crop is zoo, 100000 bushels
of sixty pounds, and according to the
Bulletin Des Halles, the excess is 1885,
,777 900 Winchester bushels.
The principal increase is credited to
the United States, Canada and India,
though various other countries are
credited with larger crops than they
had in 1900

Investigating Wilt Disease.

Montgomery, Oct. 12.-W. A. Arton,
assistant pathologist in the bureau of
planting industry of the United States
department of agriculture at Washing
ton, is here to investigate the wilt
disease of cotton, which has been the
cause Of much injury in some Sec
lions of Alabama, as we'll as in other
States. He hopes to obtain a variety
of cotton resistants to wilt. The dis
ease may be recognized, Mr.. Arton
says, by the blackening of the inside of
the stem of the diseased plants. 1t is
curiously in scattered patches in the
fields, which increase in size from
year to year until they involve the
whole field. Land once diseased al
ways remains so, and it is this feature
which makes the disease much to be
dreaded.

roads are holding out against dispos-

the dissenting companies will, in due
