OUR TRADE WITH AFRICA.
Substance of Reports From Consul. nj
important Places

MI Frederic Emory, chief of the bureau
OF foreign commerce of the State Depart
ment, has made public the second chapter
OF commercial Relations OF the United
states, dealing with the trade of this
country with Africa. The chapter is made
up OF testimony from four United States
cohsuls stationed at favorable points of
observation at all points of the compass
on the continent. Consul kidder of AIsfers
says:
am convinced that a more certain
market for American products adapted to
tn" wants of the country does not exist ON
tnis Sloe OF the Atlantic than is offered by
Algeria. The commerce is controlled by
European houses, and the most improved
farming implements are in increasing de-
mand. The best tools at the fairest prices
can be sold here regardless of where they
come from. American food products are
sold to some extent through branch houses
IN France and are popular wherever used
grocery dealing exclusively in our food
products, with some one to demonstrate
methods OF cooking, would be a great sue
cess. In short. there is hardly an article
OF American growth or manufacture which
would not be appreciated here, if present ed
in the proper way. The greatest rawback
TO trade is the lack of a direct steamship
line
Consul Gibbs of Tamatave saws:
American trade in Madagascar is in
creaSlng. canned meats, corn, petroleum.
etc, are arriving in large quantities Twen-
ty truck wagons from Wisconsin recently
reached here. consigned TO one of the con-
tractors engaged the government
roads
Consul Williams of Sierra Leone says that
place is destined TO be the distributing CEN
ter for European and American imports
and the gateway to the interior of the con-
tlnent Imports from the United States
are gaining: an agency for our goods has
been established in the CITY.
Consult General Stowe of Cape Town re-
marks that wire for fencing is being in
tToduced from the United States in much
larger quantities. There is a good market
ne adds, for galvanized corrugated sheet
iron. Our wagons for farm work and city
naullng also should supply the demand.
American rubber goods stand the climate
of South Africa better than those of any
other country.

RANAGES OF THE TREASURY BUG.
4 RapnciOus Insect Making Havoc of
RoHks and DOcuments.

Unless Congress hurries up with that hall
of records for the storage of government
archives there viii be no need for such a
building as far as the Treasury Department
is concerned. rapacious and voracious
insect has appeared among the treasury
files and is eating up books, stacks Of doc
uments and the miscellaneous papers piled
away in the basement for safekeeping
The treasury bug, the insect is called,
has the appearance of a large ant. AS he
works in the dark and feeds on white paper
he is white In color. His size is altogether
out of proportion to the a,l.ount Of paper
he can consume, and a hydraulic pressure
paper-cutting machine isn't in it with him
when it comes to trimming a gap into a
bundle of paper half foot thick.
Some of the specimens of the ravages of
the little pest very interesting. Com
mencing at the bottom of book, the low
est under a stack piled high as the ceiling
and weighing 500 pounds, this little color
less, audcmic-fooking ant begins to bore
upward and in little while has transform
ed that solid book into a series of caverns,
chambers and passages.
Between every chamber and passage he
leaves a pillar of solid paper, to act as a
supporting column, just as coalmfner
leaves column of coal to support the
roof OF the chamber In which he is work
ing. The "bugologists'' of the Department
or Agriculture have been invited to look at
the devastation Of the insect to classify it
with view to exterminatfng 1t If possible.

BOYD WALLACE'S LIFE SAVED
DEATH COMMITTED BY THE PREsT-
DENT TO IMPRISONMENT.
Action Taken on the Recommendation
of the Attorney
General.

The Attorney General received telegram
from the President today announcing that
in accordance with the Recommendation
Of the Attorney General he had commut ed
to life Imprisonment the sentence of Boyd
Wallace of this city, who was to have been
hanged for murder next Monday.
The Attorney General then issued the
necessary papers for the commitment Of
the prisoner to the Moundsville, w. Va
penitentiary, where he will be taken in
few days to begin his life sentence.
Attorney General Knox's recommended
ton in the case, which was wired to the
President last night, is as follows:
THE petitioner Boyd Wallace, a negro
was convicted of murder of one Robert
Stafford. his half-brother in the District
of Columbia, and is under sentence to be
hanged on May q. 1t appears from the
evidence that the killing was the result
of a fight in which the condemned cut the
deceased with a large knife, inf1cting a
wound in the abdomen, which resulted in
the death of deceased in about six hours
The quarrel and fight which terminated in
the killing were occasioned by jealousy and
rivalry between the deceased and the con-
demned concerning one Harriet Jackson
who lived with the condemned as his wife
for five or six years and until short time
before the killing. The evidence shows
that the deceased followed the condemned
and said Harriet Jackson from the house,
whore all three resided, into q shed in the
rear of the yard and probably provoked
the quarrel and fight.
Under all the circumstances, as shown
by the testimony, l concur with the dis
trict attorney and trial judge in believing
that this is a case where the jury might
reasonably have qualified the verdict by
reporting guilty without capital punish
ment,' and l recommend that the sentence
of death be commuted to Imprisonment for
life
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty
as indicted" upon which the appellant was
sentenced to be hanged the 18th of April,
1901.
From this sentence Wallace appealed to
the Court of Appeals, and the execution
was postponed by the trial court to- Mon
day, May I. The Court of Appeals Thurs
day last affirmed the judgment of the trial
court. and counsel for the condemned man
thereupon appealed for executive clemency.
The United States attorney recommended
such action.

THE ISTHNIAN CANAL.
commission Expects to Complete Its
Report This Summer

News has reached here that another one
OF the engineering parties sent down by
the fsthmtan canal commission has Just
returned to New York. There remains but
one party In the field, made up of six men,
who are making some final borngs at Ca
chuja Dam, on the east flank of the noun
tain, and they will finish their work In a
very few days. Thus the commission expects
to be able to complete it's report during the
present summer. 1t is learned that the
report will confirm the estimates as to the
probable cause of the various canal
projects considered as set out In the pre-
i1minary report submitted during the last
Congress. 1t will also adhere to the de-
c1sion then announced as to the eligibility
OF the routes 1t win lay special stress on
the TACT that what remains to be adjusted
