OUR PHILIPPINES TRADE.
1t II Growing, Claims to the Con.
trary Notwithstanding.
TO BE CONTINUED.

1t IL Growing, Claims to the Con-
trary Notwithstanding.
Importations of merchandise into the
Philippine islands for the first three
quarters of 1900 showed an increase OF
s65S, ,321, or - per cent. over the amount
for the same period of 1899, according to
a statement made public by the diVis-
ion of insular affairs of the war depart
ment last Thursday. During the period
stated of 1900 merchandise to the value
of s1,571, 1872 came into the Philippines
from the United States, while in 1899
the figures were s913,651.
The total value of merchandise i'm
ported from all countries from Janua-
ry to October, 1900, were S1I,lSI,99l, as
against S14,163,242 during the same per-
iod of the preceding year. This shows
an increase of 5000, 149, or q per cent;
Europe and Asiatic countries combined
sent over S15,O00,0O0 worth of the total
importation in 1900. An import trade
worth S3,O03 from Africa in 1900, as
against an entire absence of this trade
the preceding year. The above figures
relative to the imports Of the United
States represent the shipments only
and do not include the merchandise
from the United States inVolced to
Hong Kong and then reshipped to Ma
Mia.
The comparative figures as to eX-
ports to the rest of the world snow an
increase double that noted in the i'm
port trade. The merchandise export
ed from the Philippines to other
countries in 1900 was valued at $lI,-
SS3. 200. From 1899 it was valued at
Sl1. 500, OIL, thus showing an increase
of $3.50. 1S9 or 40 per cent. The eX-
ports to the United States, however,
showed a decrease of S126,94J in 1900. as
compared with the same period or
1898, valued, on the other hand. the eN-
portations TO European. Asiatic, Afri-
can and South American countries
showed material increases in each
case, the exports to Europe increasing
from $4.437.SS7 in 1899, to $9,55OlOS in
1900.
Merchandise to the value of Sl,467
was exported to South America in
1900, as against no trade of this sort
in 1899. The expectation of hemp from
the Philippines during the first three
quarters OF 1900 were valued at Sl0.-
243, 742. against $6,4OS9SO during the
same period of 1892

THE CATAWBA FRESHET.
4 Government Expert Tells Of the
Nature and Extent Of the Damage.

4 Government Expert Tells of the
Nature and Extent of the Damage.
The u. S. Geological survey has for
wears been making measurements and
studying the Catawba river.
Mr.. Myers, the surveyor, says he mas
followed the Catawba from its source
in the Swannanoa Gap to Rock Hill,
S. c., and had talked with the resi-
dents who live along the river for this
distance. He approXimates the damage
done by the flood at $500,00O. The dam
age along the river side has been gen.
eral and in proportion to the acreage
of bottom land. In practically all the
wheat fields close to the river the land
has been sanded over for two or three
feet deep, and the cornfields have been
completely washed away-down to an
unproductive subsoil. The injury to
farming land was greatest in Burke
and Mcdowell counties, said MI.
MYERS, because in these counties there
is more bottom land. In Mcdowell the
damage is aDOul SiVV,VVo, e'iie 80 ~
it is between S25O,OOO and $3OO,OOO. The
broad bottom lands in the latter county
are simply ruined for a distance of two
or three hundred yards on either side of
the Catawba.
The velocity of the water, said Mr..
Myers, was greater than ever before.
At Rock Hill the current ran about ten
miles an hour, which is a terrific and
hurtful pace for the Catawba. And II
is universally admitted that during the
recent flood the river was much higher
than ever before.
The hurtful effects Of the velocity of
the water was not due to the amount
fo rain that fell, for the weather bureau

McLAURIN's COURSE.
Patriotism Az Distinguished From
Partisanry-Non-P cues

Patriotism Az distinguished From
Partisanry-Non-Po cues
tfOns.
Should Senator McLaurin fail in his
campaign for reelection, his failure
will be one Of the incomprehensible
features of modern politics. South
Carolina Is a state in which the white
man dominates. The intelligent white
sentiment decides elections there, and
Senator McLaurns appeals are address,
ed to that class only. His arguments are
unanswerable, and unless the political
lation is hopelessly perverted his
course must be heartily approved.
Two classes OF questions are to come
before the United States senate. One
the outset question may belong to the
former class, only. to pass by regular
processes into the latter. Such one
was the currency question, political at
first, non-political when it was demon
strated that the gold standard was
most promotive of our national inter-
ests. The tariff question has for years
been undergoing a somewhat similar
transition. The expediency of a war
with Spain was originally a political
question, the grant of the emergency
war fund, the appropriations for the
increased army and navy expenses, the
ratification of the Paris treaty have
developed into non-political. Great
hurt has been inflicted upon the coun-
try because these non-political matters
were opposed on partisan grounds by
the minority in congress, and the state
which has man in the senate with the
courage to refuse to disguise duty in
the mask of partisanship should honor
him.
This is what Senator McLaurin did.
He saw his duty as an American and
he did it fearlessly. Contrasted with
his record, that of his foremost antag-
onist, Senator Tillman, is the record
of unparalleled demagoguery. While
Senator McLaurin was voting to pro-
mote the development of the south,
Senator Tillman was voting against
everything which the Southerners
should hold dear, simply because it was
advocated by Republicans. There is no
comparison between these men. Nc
Laurin is the friend Of South Carolina;
Tillman is her enemy. If the state un-
derstands it's interests, it will turn a
deaf ear to Tillmans -McLaurin
pleas and return McLaurin to the sem
ate. By so doing it will start the new
era of Southern development Alright,
and it is no disgrace to honor a man
who has the courage to do right, even
if occa sionally he has to vote with the
opposition marty to do it.-Baltimore

ed, with his teeth now set and the
dark veins upon his brow starting
more plainly out. "You have come
upon my premises, and you have
sought your purpose. You now
have your answer, and for your own
sake, for my sake, l beg you to
leave me-"
"Not until your name is upon
this paper" cried Damonoff, shak-
ing the missive furiously and crum-
pling it in his hand.
care you mad, sir count? Do
you think me fool?"
""Aye, a consummate one."
"Then," returned Ruric, with q
curl of utter contempt upon his
finely chiscled lip, "you need have
no further dealings with me. There
is my door, sir"
For some moments Conrad Da-
monoff seemed unable to speak from
very anger. He had surely some
deep, anxious purpose in obtaining
Ruric's name to that paper, and to
be thus thwarted by a common arti-
san was maddening to one who
based all his force of charcter upon
his title.
"Sign" he Kissed.
"Foolw uttered Ruric, unable
longer to contain himself in view of
such stupid persistence. "Do you
seek quarrel with me?"
"Seek? seek what will have.
Will you sign?"
"Once more-no!
"Then, by heavens, you shall
know what it is to thwart such as
me! How's that?'
As these words passed from the
counts lips in a low, Kissing whis-
per he aimed blow with his fist
at Ruric's head. The gunmaker
had not dreamed of such bastard
act, and he was not prepared for
it, yet he lodged it sufficiently to es-
cape the mark upon his face, receiv-
ing the blow lightly upon the side
of his head. But he stopped not to
consider now. As the count drew
back Ruric dealt him a blow upon
the brow that felled him to the floor
like a dead OK.
Beware, Stephen Urzen!" he
whispered to the counts companion
as that individual made a movement
as though he would come forward.
81 am not myself now, and you are
safest where you are"
The man thus addressed viewed
the gunmaker few moments, and
he seemed to conclude that he had
better avoid a personal encounter,
for his fists relaxed and he moved
to the side of his fallen friend and
assisted him to his feet.
Conrad Damonoff gazed into his
antagonists face few moments in
silence. His face was ashen pale,
and his whole frame quivered. Up
on his forehead there was livid
spot where he had been struck, but
the skin was not broken.
"Ruric Newell" he said in hiss
ing, maddening tone, "you will hear
from me! The mad spirit Of a
vengeance such as mine cannot be
trifed with"
And with this he turned away.
"Paul," said the gunmaker, turn
ing to his boy after the men had
gone away, "not a word of this to
my mother. Be sure"

"Belknap was of a sympathetic nature.
Tears sprang to his eyes and he grasped my
hand and held it firmly for more than
minute as we, cpnversed. FINALLY he said
to me: -"
sRodenbers, I'm going to the Philip

CLUE TO MURDER MYSTERY.
Police at Evansvflle, Ind, Are Shad-
owing n Suspect.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, November 14.-It is
now announced that the only clue so far
found in connection with the murder 1nys-
terry here that gives ground for any hope
of clearing up the affair tends to bring
under suspicion man who for several
years has kept company with Mrs. Railey
Friends Of the woman told the police that
this man had shown jealous disposti on
and had gone so far as to send her letters
threatening her with death If she received
the attentions of any other man. Interest
In this line Of investigation is increased
by the fact that some time Monday right
stranger went to the Railey house in
Clark street during the absence of the wo-
man and destroyed all the letters in her
possession
All the livery stables have been visited
by officers, and it developed that the buggy
In which the Railey woman went riding
with her companion was not hired at any
or them, but was the property of q friend
OF the man suspected. The suspect has not
yet been placed under arrest. The internal
organs of Miss Lena Renner, the other
woman found murdered on the outskirts of
the city. have been examined by the coro-
ner and physicians. Traces of morphine
We're discovered, although not in quantity
sufficient to cause death. This leads the
police to believe that the woman was drug
ged by the murderer, and that after the
victim became unconscious he choked her
to death. At the funeral of Mrs. RaiIev
hundreds of people crowded the cemetery.
