Heavy Imbortatloms of Ra7v MateysaI

Washington, November 15.-(Special.)- J. The activity of American manufacturers shows no sign of abatement, whatever the conditions in other countries. At least this appears to be true, measuring the activity of manufacturers by their demand for raw material from other parts of the world which enter into their great industries. The recent figures of the treas ury bureau of statistics show that the importation of manufactured materials during nine months ending with Septem- Der. 1901, were not only larger than those of last year, but larger than those of any year in the history of our commerce and industries. The following table shows the importation of articles in a crude condition which enter into the various processes of domestic industry during the nine months ending with September of each year since 1890.

PHILIPPINES HELD AS
 DOMESTIC TERRITORY

Washington, November 15.-The com missioner of internal revenue today rem dered decision in which be holds that beer, whisky and other articles of do- nestle manufacture subject to internal revenue tax when consumed in the Uni ted States are subject to this tax when shipped to the Philippine Islands. In this sense the Philippines are held to be do- nestle territory.
 Under existing laws articles subject to internal revenue taxation at home are relieved from taxation when exported to a foreign country the exporter giving bond when the goods are withdrawn, which is cancelled when satisfactory proof is furnished that they actually have been landed in foreign territory
 Under a ruling made some weeks ago by the commissioner the Philippines have been regarded for purposes of internal revenue taxation as foreign territory, and therefore the whisky, beer, cigars, etc, which have been shipped to the islands have been exempted from taxation. Un- der the present ruling the tax in all cases will be exacted before shipment. It is expected that exporters will pay the tax under protest, having in mind the fourteen diamond rings case.' now pending in the United States Supreme Court in which a decision Is expected at an early date. This case involves the same question which has arisen in the consideration of the internal revenue tax cases and If the court should hold that the Philippines are foreign territory for customs and internal revenue tax pur- poses, exporters will be entitled to re- fund of the amount of the tax paid.

O~tssae Ne7OSpabevs OF
 Adoptsom of Consultation

From the Washington Evening Star.
 The following interesting news comes from Birmingham, Ala:
 ''The new constitution has been rati- fled by a large majority. It will probably reach 3000O, and will not fall below 25,000. The anti-ratihcationists charge fraud in a number of counties, notably Jefferson, Dallas and Pickens. This county gave 25OO majority for the new constitution. General Shelley, chairman of the anti ratihcationists, claims that he has won the fight but rather indicates that he does not expect to have 1t so recorded. He states, however, hat he will push the fight to the bitter end'
 Here again Is raised the old cry of fraud. Votes. it is charged, have been cast one way and counted another. The popular will has been defeated. The new chart of the State itself, by which the peoples course for many years to come will be regulated, has been smirched in the house of it's friends.
 If this charge came from the Alabama Republicans 1t would be sneered at or laughed at. What jokes would be crack ed at their expensel What sniveling duffers they would be pictured! Would they never learn to take their medicine? :? Had they no other cry in their throats after election but that of false count of the returns? Did they not know that the country had no sympathy with such walters? Had they no desire ever to achieve the reputation of dead game sports?'
 But the cry comes from a Democrat and very distinguished one. General Shelley, who coiducted the fight against the new constitution, has served in Con gress, and has aspired to the governor ship of Alabama. As chairman of the Democratic committee he has directed several State campaign for his party, and they were all successful He knows the State and its people. and he ought to be familiar with the local election methods. When, therefore, he raises the cry of fraud is he not entitled to attention? Is 1t the cry merely of a defeated man? May it be assumed that this old battle scared veteran has none of the sturdy qualities of a dead game sport = Doc tor of politics that he Is. who has held the spoon of bitterness to the lips of many patient in his day, is it to be supposed that he would take dose of his own medicine without making a wry face and uttering a complaint?
 It is announced that General Shelley will show up the transaction in its true light Let us hope that he may. Not that there is he slightest chance of changing the result, for what is writ is writ" and es- pec1ally in the matter of election returns in the South. But 1t will make such in- teresting reading to have the true in wardness of one of these victories" at the polls laid bare in all the details of the shuffiing of ballots and the lightning calculation of totals.
 A playful remark was ascribed to an Alabamian last summer on this subject. Predicting that the new constitution would be ratified he said: "One more

MoveabIe rostoffices in Jefferson.

Twenty-nine new rural free delivery routes were established yesterday, making with two established a year ago, thirty-one in all As each car rier's route is on the average twenty miles long, it follows that rural free delivery has been extended outside the cities to the extent of about 500 miles. These carriers will traverse in all weekdays 600 miles of the country roads of Jefferson County, thus afford ing the county rural postoffice 600 miles long on which the service will be daily. Each carrier goes over his route twice each weekday. He goes out in the morning from his basic office in town, returning in the afternoon. Strictly local mail is thus delivered and gathered up twice a day, and all other mail once {. day. As the carrier sells stamps, stamped envelopes, money orders and the like, a veritable postofice on wheels is brought to every mans door along the 600 miles of routes that were covered for the first time yesterday.
 When the people of this county be- come accustomed to the new service and begin to use u freely, as they soon Till do, then tho full extent of the b1cfit will dawn upon them, and then h'ill appear to them the true full na- tue of the rural free delivery that The Age-Herald originated, and that Congressman Underwood secured and carried to full fruition, although al- most every other progressive county in the country was at the same time clamoring for share in the new ex- tension of the postal system. But great as the pressure was Mir. Under wood succeeded in practically covering a large county with rural free deliy- cry routes, this being the only county in the cotton states so favored. In very short time the people of the fa vored coun.y will fully appreciate MT. Jnderwood's efforts in their behalf. They will soon wonder how they got along so long without the rural free delivery system.

touching the ballot, which is the dear est and most important privilege of freemen. When the electorate is to be revolutionized all white men should stand together. To set up a cry of fraud that is as empty as the wind at such a time is the very reverse of patriotism, and all men who love Ala bama should turn a deaf ear to it.
 The registration of a permanent electorate will be the next important political act in the state since the act of secession, and The Age-Herald ap- peals to white men of whatever party to stand together until it is fully ac- complished. It must be begun within sixty days, ant it must be completed by August 1 next. The first general election in the State will occur in No vember next, when Legislature will Se chosen, as well as a Governor and other State officers.
 It has been widely and wildly charged that the negroes will be reg istered in the Black Belt without re- gard to character or intelligence. This charge is simply preposterous. The Black Belt secured representation based upon population in express terms of the New constitution. This Legislative representation implies, of course, corresponding repre- sentation in party conventions. Greater representation than this the Black Belt could not secure, and clearly would not attempt to secure, and all know that the Black Belt counties de- sire relief from the pressure of negro majorities. Every county in the Black Belt will apply the character-intelli- gence test to its negro population. There is no occasion for doubt as to this. The campaign is ended, and cam paign froth is out of place now. The time for telling the plain truth has come, and the campaigners should cease to spread abroad campaign talk, for it is not accepted at home and it works harm to us outside the State.

Charues oi Fraud in General.

Theoretical charges of fraud in re- lation to ratification, even when set forth in perfervid rhetoric, are alike useless and unpatriotic. They serve but to sway some weak minds into lawlessness, for the State can have but one constitution and that is the New one.
 If such charges show anything they show that a change is needed in Ala bama A condition of affairs that per mits any such frauds even on paper is a condition that should be ended, and that is just what the New consti- tuition will do if it can command the united support of all unprejudiced Ala bamians.
 The Age-Herald commends to all to anti-ratifiers as we'll as ratiiers- this bit of advice clipped from the Greenville Living Truth, a Populist paper that opposed ratification. It says: "The New constitution has been ratified, and, without going into de- tails, it now belongs to the people. It is the law they have chosen and they must abide by it. Time alone will tell whether the results aimed at have been achieved or whether the new law was shown to the people in too highly colored a light. Will the new law stop the frauds in the Black Belt and leave the result of elections entirely to white voters, or will things go on in the same old way? Right here is where many people differ, and old Father Time will be called on for an answer. Anyway, the constitution stands ratified, and it is hoped that every good point claimed for the new organic law will materialize. It is with us now, and every good citizen, whether formerly opposed to it or not, should give his best efforts toward maintaining and upholding it?"

THE GLACIERS ARE GOING.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
 According to Professor Forel, who has made special study of the Alpine pIac- iers during the past twenty-five years. the day of the glacier is gone. They are deteriorating slowly. but with steady persistence. and diminution becomes more marked from year to year. There is only one exception to this rule-that of Bowler. In the Valley of Entremont, which since 1892 has shown continuous growth. The famous glaciers of the Rhone have shrunk 755 meters since 1874, or an ay- craze of 20 meters year. Many have SC changed during the past few years that old touris ts after a few seasons of ab- sence nave failed tc recognize them. Some hotels once standing in the immed- fate proximity of glaciers are now at a considerable distance from them-to the serious loss of the proprietors.

The above table shows the steady growth since 1890 in the importation of raw material for use of manufacturing
 gest in the importation of these materials in the entire history of our import trade and manufacturing industry.
 A detailed examination of imports of manufacturers material in the first nine months shows an even larger increase in 1901 than is indicated by the figures above quoted. While the total imports of manufacturers material in the nine months ending with September. 1901, ex- ceed in value by four million dollars those of the corresponding nine months of 1900, the actual increase in quantity is probably considerably greater than that indicated by the stat ement of values sim ply This is due to the fact that there has been during the past year a marked de- crease in the prices of the principal arti- cles imported for use in manufacturing and therefore, while the figures of value show a material increase, those of quan- tity show an even greater increase.
 The importations of manufacturers ma terial are largely made up of six great articles: India rubber, silk fibers, hides and skins, tin for use in manufacturing tin plate and chemicals for use in the manufacturing industries. In nearly all of these the prices per unit of quantity in 1901 are less than those of 1900. In raw silk, for instance, the value of the impor- tations of the nine months ending with September, 1901, is $26,3776s9. against s2S,- 256,O77 in the corresponding months of last year. the increase in value being very slight; but the number of pounds imported in the nine months ending with September, 1901, is S,4o4s24, against 6.5el. SS0 in the corresponding months of last year, an increase of about 30 per cent in the quantity imported. In fbers the hg- ures of value show slight decrease. while the quantity shows an increase, the value being in the nine months ending with September 1901, s19.259. 9Os, against $2l,s5l,S42 in the corresponding months of last year, slight decrease; while the quantity in 1901 is Iss.ss2 tons. against

TO KEEP sEAeoARD AIR LINE.
seaboard Company Formed in New
 Jersey to Continue to Control.

Baltimore, November 15.-The object if the Seaboard Company, which has been incorporated at Trenton N. J., is to ac- quire control of the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company and thus prevent any outside interest buying it in the open market.
 Over 250,000 of the 4S0,000 shares of com mon and preferred now outstanding are closely held by President John Skelton Williams, J. Middendorf, the Continental Trust Company. William A. Marburg, Baltimore; c. Sydney Shepard New Ha- ven; William F. Corchran, Yonkers; Pemberton, McAdoo X Co. and Laden burg, Thalmann & Go. These firms will transfer their holdings to the Seaboard Company of New Jersey, receiving in ex- change class A debenture bonds for pre- ferred and class B debentures for com mon stock. The basis is not yet ar ranged
 The paid in capital stock of the Sea- board Company will probably be S250,0O0 This plan will centralize control in pres ent hands and enable the firms to use for other purposes money now tied up in securities. Vice President Middendorf re- fused to discuss the project.

APPROACHING CAPE TOWN.
6oers Nearing the English Post to
 Raid Barges.

New York, November 15.-The corres- pendent of the London Times and the New York Times, wiring from Middle burg, Cape Colony, says that within the last two days the Boers have approached still nearer to Cape Town. Sixty men of the commando last seen at Hopefield have penetrated south of Darling, forty-eight miles north of Cape Town, but the raid must not be taken too seriously as the British columns are already in a position to cope with it.
 The Boers have made the dash either to obtain fresh horses or to revenge the Dutch farmers who have not supported them as they were expected to do.
 In the northeast district Commandant Fouche and six men leaving the main body, made raid last Saturday to Mar burg siding. They blew up a few yards of track and shot in cold blood a Cape policeman, who had surrendered. Fouche has since returned to the neighborhood of Jamestown. A patrol of district mount ed troops was worsted on Monday by an insurgent force of the enemy.

REACH AN AGREEMENT,
England and Turkey to Define Spheres
 of Influence.

New York, November 15.-rhe Vienna Poiticshe correspondence quoted in dispatch to the London Times and the New York Times from the Austrian capi- tai, announces that an agreement has been concluded between Great Britain and Turkey with a view to an delimina- tion of their respective spheres of in- fiuences and frontiers between Yemen and Alden. According to this source of inform ation a Turkish commission has already been appointed and now awaits instructions to proceed to the place select ed for the opening negotiations.
 The correspondent adds that the set clement of the complicated situation in that region has not been anticipated. The British government at Alden is re- ported as having said that the exist ing protectorate and sphere of influence which extend from beyond the Turkish frontier into the Ottoman territory of Yemen, will not be abandoned The Turks hope to secure some improvement .of existing conditions.

YE MARINERS OF ENGLAND.

By Thomas Campbell.
 Ye mariners of England
 That guard our native seas.
 whose flag has braved, a thousand years The battle and the breeze,
 Your glorious standard launch again To match another foe!
 And sweep through the deep.
 While the stormy winds do blow.
 Whiie the battle rages loud and Ion~. Ard the stormy winds do blow The meteor flag Of England
 Shall yet terrific burn;
 Till dangers troubled night denart And the star of peace return.
 Iheh' men, ye ocean warriors, our song and feast shall flow
 TO the fame of your name,
 when the storm has ceased to blow. when the fiery fight is heard no more. Ano the storm has ceased to blow. The spirits of your fathers snail stsrt from every wave! For the deck it was their field of fame And ocean was their grave; Where Blake and mighty Nelson fell, Your manly hearts shall glow, As ye sweep through the deep n While the st ormy winds do blow, While the battle rages loud and lonR. Ard the stormy winds do blow. Britannia needs no bulwarks, No towers al ong the steep: Her march Is OCT the mountains waves. Her home is or the deep. With thunders from her ne tive oak, She que,ls the flood telow. As they roar or the shore, When the stormy winds do hlow, When the battle ragcs loud and long, And the stormy winds do blow.
