TRADE OF THE PHILIPPINES.
some tnterestiaE Figure. Made rub-
lie In statement h the
War Department


Washington, July IA marked in
crease IN the trade of the Philippine
islands during the calendar yer Of
1900 over the commerce Of The nreyi-
Gus year. Is set out in a statement
made public yesterday by the division

department. statement. was the
greatest importation fer any Single
year in the history OF the archipelago.
| In 1saa ihe imports amounted to s20,-
a4o.n74 IN Valne thus showing an in
crease of nearly thtriy.six per cent. in
favor of inoo.
Accordinpto an estimate based upon
data collected by The british consul
NJ Manila. the approximate value Of
imports INTO the Philippine islands
for 1895 was S7,oi6.eoo, for 1906. So
29a 800. and for 1897. 50. 10000
During the five years 1ss7=isai the
average annual value of imports from
the United states amounted 10 $780,
6oa. during the five years is92-is90
the average annual imports amounted
to si36,22s; in 1899 the imports were
81 i.957.s9l. and in 1900 se,f51.ios.
The total imports from China and
Hong Kong for 1900 amounted to So

II has been shown as regards the
statistics of imports into the islands
from the United States. TINT they do
not include large amount of mer-
chandise that Is imported indirectly
including such staples as wheat hour'

portion of this trade Is recorded ms
Imports from Hong Kong, which are
undoubtedly re-cxported from that
port To the islands
The imports from the United states
direct for 1000 show an increase OF
| Ss0l ,31a over those of 1900. while the
Imports from Hong Kong in 300 show
material decrease from the estimat-
ed figures of 1899.
This would indicate that, as the
shipping facilities in Manila harbor
are being improved direct shipments
TO Manila are increasing. and that
there Is a corresponding decrease in
the re-exportation of merchandise
from Hong Kong To the Philippines.
The imports into the Philippines
from the United States direct in 1900

THE CUBAN ELECTORAL LAW.
VIII he Discussed by the donstit"-
tionnI Convention During the
Present week.

Havana. July i.-Dnring the com
ing week the Constitutional conyen-
ton will discuss the electoral law.
The project submitted by the commits
sion provides only for the election of
congressman, governors, state repre-
sentatiyes, mayors and conncilmen.
No agreement has been reached as TO
whether or not to elect the president
and senators by direct popular vote.
The discussion of the electoral law
will undoubtedly open up an argu-
ment by the conservatives against a
federal republic with many provincial
officers as entailing heavy expendi-
lures. The conservatives viii oppose
granting absolute autonomy 10 the
provinces and municipalities. An ef-
fort will be made 10 change the con
stitntion, and 20 invest the central
government with appointiye and veto
power.
Universal suffrage seems 10 be n
popular movement, but the general
opinion Is that II will be impossible
10 pet the convention TO change % e
form of voting.

GOOD CHANCES
For Traction Line The Richmond
Street Railway Line Under An
option The Prospects.

The more that is heard of IL the
more does it appear that the grant
ing OF the franchise to John Chapman
1t Cambridge City the other night
Tor a traction line through that city
means practical progress along that
line for Richmond.
Mr.. Chapman was here for a few
hours that night but could not b.
seen, so what can be had here is sec
md hand; but a prominent citizen
Who knows him and his financial
connections we'll says that he
a business man aud a promoter
Who does not throw away his
line chasing rainbows. He asG
says that Mr.. Chapman and his
associates have control of the trac-
tiOn line from Indianapolis to Green
ield, which is one of the very sue
,essful lines of the state, and that he
backed by good PEOPLE and ample
apital.
The same gentleman says and
Snows what be says to be true-that
Mr.. Chapman has an option on the
Richmond Traction company's lines
in this city and has had it for three
months, with money to buy it.
Thus we have a good line in opera
tion for a third of the distance from
here to indianapolis on direct line

A MYTH.
THAT is THE SIZE OF THE
"HOUSE ESTATE"
United States District AttOr.
ney of Maryland Says No
Such Estate Exists.

The publication yesterday OF the
House estate matter has called con
siderable attention TO this myth
which is beyond question myth. II
seems to be a peculiarity of the human
makeup to want something for moth
ing, and that is what makes the
thing dangerous. The parties who
are pushing it are no doubt sincere
in it, and believe they have a claim
that has a foundation, but the trouble
is they do not investigate thoroughly
and those who z to them f r advice
take it for granted that they have
done SO and do not do it themselves
The loss IN money way is not large
to individuals, but is large in the ag
gregate. The thing has the bad effect
of raising anticipations which Gao
never be realized. The Townley Law
renee estate myth cost this county
thousands of dollars and virtually
broke one man up in business SOM
years ago and was pushed until the
English government issued a formal
declaration that there was no such
estate. There have been many Others
of the same ilk. Once in whlt
there are estates which are ali right
and realized upon, but they are neyeI
surrounded in such mystery and un
reliable legend Us these cases. The
Lamb estate was recovered here
many years ago. There are concerns
in New York who make a business OF
looking up doubtful estates, and they
Systematically milk their dupes,
while keeping within the pale of tn,
la fhAGa nnlK
to reliable parties they could sool
find out that such immense estates a.
these would be known to the govern
ment, who would give any informa
tion as to their existence on request
The heirs of the House estate
have recently been tiocking here by
scores and the receipts of mail by
Mrs. Adams, the alleged secretary
and others have attracted the atten
tion of the government. The Unitec
States district attorney OF the stat,
of Maryland was requested
some time ago by th
United States postal authorities al
Washington to inves tigate the mat
ter of this estate and report to th,
department This has been done |
and the report was that there is ~
such estate and never has been. |
Mrs Adams, to whom we referred |
yesterday, was notified by the
authorities not to use the malt |
for money in this connection under |
pains of prosecution. This is The |
straight of the matter.
a gentleman was in the PALLA
niUN Office today, who stated tina |
he had been sent as representa-
tive of about forty heirs in Ken
tucky TO investigate the matter. II,
is but one of many. This section OF
:he state has been worked hard ano
so has the section Of Ohio which i
adjacent. Preble county has paio
well for her experience.
