Mrs. Ida Bonne has been indicted in
Washington for the murder of James Sey-
mour Ayres, the young medical student.
The Indictment was something of sur
prise. The police have been unable to
break the confession of Mrs. Bonine, in
which she declared she killed Ayres in
her own defense. and it was generally
believed she would never be tried on the
charge of first degree murder There is
practically nothing against her except
her own story, and it is not believed that
that will convict her. Ayres was killed
at the Kenmore Hotel, in his room \
woman was seen TO leave his room by the
fire escape, and enter another room in
the building. Mrs. Bonine says she was
called by Ayres, who said he was sick,
and as soon as she entered the room he
locked the door and attacked her. He
was killed with his own pistol. Above
are shown two pictures of Mrs. Bonine,
one taken when she took first prize in n
beauty contest in Columbus, Ohio, the
other taken since she has been in Jail
in Washington.

FARM EXPORTS OF 1900.
Agricultural Department Issues Some
Interesting Figures.

AutcFCstiuS II riSuTess
The foreign market section of the Asri-
cultural Department has compiled statis-
ties showing the distribution of the agri-
cultural exports of the United States for
the years from 1895 TO 1900. The re-
port shows that there We're a dozen coun-
tries in 1900 to each of which the United
States exported over S10.000.000 worth
of domestic farm produce. The United
Kingdom purchased S40S 100000 and
Germany S134. 100000 worth. The agr-
cultural exports to the United Kingdom
were the largest on record excepting
those of the extraordinary year of 1888.
when value of S439, ,0000 was attain
ed. In trade with Germany the exports
for 1900 were decidedly in excess of any
previously reported, and show an in-
crease of nearly 100 per cent in the five
years period.
Next in order to the above named
countries in 1900 were the following:
The Netherlands. S52000.O00, these fig
ures being exceeded only in 1899 10y less
than S1.000.000; France, S45,O000OO:
Belgium, S33,00O,O0O. as against $751;
100000 in 1896 to France and S1S,000,-
900 to Belgium during the same year;
Italy, $24.000.O00; Canada, $21. .0G0, GOO;
Japan. over $15,000.0 COO; Denmark. near
ly S15,OOO,OG0; Cuba, $14,000,00O. as
against S4.O00,000 in 1895; Spain, $10.-
100000. as against trihe less than
S10OOO.OOO in 1896; British Africa, S1O,-
100000.
Exports ranging in value from So
$4,000 down went TO more than 4 dozen
other different countries.
The total exports of domestic farm
produce to Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii.
and the Philippine Islands in 1900 had
an aggregate value of over S20.O00.00O,
as compared with only $6,200.O0O in
1896.
South America was the only contingent
to which United States agricultural ex
ports for the last FIVE years show n de
cline-from $11, ,236.G coo in 1895 to So
452, 900 in 1900. The most striking gain
was in our exports to Asia. rising from
50, 49,. 900 in 1896 to nearly S23O00,CO0
in 1900.
With the exception of the phenomenal
year 1898, when they reached S162 O00,-
900. these figures are the largest on rec
ord. In 1896 they were 500. 100000.
To tn various North American countries
the exports in 1900 were S55.000.000 in
1899 SOS. .O00.O00 and in 1896 S44 100000.
The ten principal items in our agricul-
tural export trade for 1900 Were:
