FOR G. A. R. ENcAMPMENT.
Two illustrated Lectures to Be Given
Tomorrow.

The officials of the citizens committee on
the G.. A. X. encampment are extremely
gratified at the wide interest displayed in
the two lectures to be delivered under the
committees auspices at the Columbia The
alter tomorrow afternoon. Secretary Root,
Secretary Shaw, Secretary Long and Cen
eral Miles have all promised to attend and
have accepted the committees offer of a
box for each OF the four guests. Many
prominent subordinates in the War and
Navy departments are to be present also.
Every indication at headquarters this
morning is that the audience will be large
and that the encampment fund will be ma
terally increased as result
Those veteransDof the war of the rebel
lion who are interested to compare war
methods Of 1860; with those Of today will
lecture on The Sea Campaign in the Phil
ippines'' by Mr.. Stckney. The lecturer,
who served as aid to Admiral Dewey on
the bridge of the Olympia during the opera
lions in Manila bay, will present not only
vivid word picture of the five hours fight
ing -en May 1,-1s9S,-but brief review of
the conditions of combat and the prepara
tons therefor which enabled Admiral
Dewey to annihilate strong naval force
under the protection of powerful batteries
of modern guns, mines and torpedoes, the
whole illustrated by Photographic views
taken by Mr.. Stckney before, during and
after the battle in the bay.
The description of the passage into the
lay at midnight the mine channel,
past heavy guns On Mariveles Point, Cor
regiGor Island, Caballos Island and the
Lore rock of Ell Fralle, is followed by the
account of the sudden coming of the trop-
zeal day, the bonn of the Krupp guns of
the Luneta battery, the swift swoop of our
fleet upon the Spanish ships off Cavite, the
towering pyramids of mud and water where
the mines exploded, the incessant singing
Of the Spanish shells from ships and shore
batteries at Sangley Point and Canaceo, and
finally the roar Of the American guns and
TIE battle cry" Remember the Mainev'-
that rose from the seamens lips as our feet
joined in battle, with the stars and stripes
,hylng from every masthead.
MIR. James F. ]. Archibald, the second
lecturer, is to treat of the struggle in South
Africa, which he terms THE Boer-British
War" For several months he served with
the Beers, passing over to the British lines
with the fall of Pretoria. His point Of view
is rigidly impartial and his purpose is not
to present the merit of either side in the
conflict, but to portray the war as 1t seemed
to him and to indicate the methods and
conditions which prevailed at the front dur

bald is distinguished war correspondent

though the art gallery today was not open
ed until IL o'clock, there were a number of
visitors who gained Ambulance by card.
When the gentlemen composing the COM
mission and the advisory committee arrived
the visitors were asked to retire, that the
work of selection might not be influenced
in any way and that the members might
discuss the merits or dement's of the sew
eral designs submitted with perfect free
dom.
The Advisory Committee.
Messrs. Augustus Saint Gaudens, Daniel
Chester French and Charles F. McKim
spent several hours yesterday among the
collection. The names of the competitors
were hidden from view, so that the men,
bers of the committee were enabled to view
them without biased judgment The same
members of the advisory committee held
another long conference at the gallery this
forenoon before they were joined by their
-confreres
Gen Merritt visited the collection on Sat

Gen. Schofield, who came from his winter
home in Florida, had seen the designs
They were both wonderfully pleased with
number of the models, particularly those
which depict Grant in characteristic poses.
Both generals served under Grant, and
their judgment will likely go a long way in
determining the result of the competition.

asked this afternoon by an Evening Star
reporter when the result would be an

DEBATING EXCLUSION.
Senators Discussing Restriction of
Chinese Immigration.

In the Senate Saturday afternoon an in
teresting debate followed Mr. Fairbanks
speech on the Chinese exclusion bill. Mr.
Gallinger feared the bill violated treaty OBJ
legations.
Both Mr.. Penrose and Mr.. Mitchell as
sured Mr.. Gallinger that there was no vio-
lation Of treaty obligations, the former say
ing that the provisions regarding the ex-
empted classes were based entirely upon
existing law and regulations, and were as
liberal as they could be made safely.
Mr.. Lodge said he would be entirely I'M
willing to vote for any measure which vio-
lated any treaty obligations. The existing
treaty with China had been made in 1894
two years after the enactment of the exist
Ing exclusion law. 1t was a clear recogni-
ton by the Chinese empire Of the right of
the United States to exclude Chinese la
borers. That treaty was made and condi-
toned upon law then existing, and it was a
recognition by China of the policy of this
government and Of the means of enforcing
that policy. constant and increasing eff
fort was being made to bring into this
and 1t was the purpose of this bill to pre-
vent that fraud.
Mr.. Fairbanks read from testimony given
by Mr.. Dunn before the immigration COM
mittee to show that immense numbers of
of Chinese were brought into this country
bearing fraudulent certificates Of admission
many or them being in collision with the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company.
Mr. Dillingham; inquired who Mr.. Dunn's
informant was. He said he had been called
from the chamber by the vice president of
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, who
had denounced the statement made by Mr.
Dunn as false.
Mr. Fairbanks said he did not know who
Mr.. Dunn'S informant was, but there was
no manner of doubt that immense frauds
were being perpetrated upon this govern
ment in the traffic in Chinese laborers
Mr. Platt Comm insisted that the United
states could not afford to disregard its
treaties with any nation, particularly with
nation which was unable to defend itself
he desired to know whether the definitions
In the bill of the excepted classes were
satisfactory to China and whether they were
within. the scope of our treaty with China
He said these definitions were fixed in this
bill entirely arbitrarily; and he thought
China might have right to complain sert-
ously of the spirit of the United States in
constituting the treaty.
concerning the importation of Chinese
women into this country for immoral pur-
poses, to which reference had been made.
Mr.. Gallinger suggested that conditions
among other. peoples than Chinese were
very deplorable In San Francisco. Similar
conditions existed, according to AUTHORITIES
in Boston and New York, and II was not
nece ssary. he said, TO go far from the dome
of the Capitol here in Washington to find
gross immortality.
Without any action on The bill the Senate
then, at 4:35 pm, went into executive ses-
sion, and at 4:45 pm. adjourned.

COTTON TAKES THE LEAD.
Exceeds in Value Exports of Our
Breadstuffs.

The Department of Agriculture has is
sued statement of the foreign trade of
the United States in agricultural products
1t shows that during the fiscal year 1901
foreign countries purchased American farm
products to the value Of $685., 900 600, rep
resenting the largest agricultural exports
In our history. Compared with the record
for 1900 they show an increase of over
500, 900, eco
our agricultural imports, on the other
hand, disclose considerable falling off
when contrasted with the year preceding
me various products Of agriculture receiV-
ed from foreign sources during 1901 had an
aggregate value of only 1892 600 900 or sos =
100000 less than in 1900.
IN COMPARISON with the value of our agri-
cultural imports our agricultural exports
show the exceptionally large excess of
$500, 600 600 -; fltE
1t is further shown, that owing to the
tact that our import and export trade with
Hawaii and Porto Rico was not Included
as previously, in the foreign commerce re-
turns of the United States for 1901 a com
par1son of the statistics for that year and
sne year preceding is not altogether salts

parson of our total agricultural imports
and exports for 1901 and the year before
the figures for 1901 should be increased to
the extent of our trade with Hawaii and
Porto Rico. but, complete statistics as to
the value of the products of agriculture ex-
changed In that Frade during 1901 were not
to be had In slaOO our AGRICULTURAL i'm
ports from Hawaii and Porto Rico were
valued at about 900 and our agri-
cultural expOrts'tu those islands at about
s5,o0O.O00. The 4eadfng items among our
agricultural imnorts for 1901 were sugar,
conee, hides and SKINS silk, vegetable
nbers, fruits and nuts tobacco, wool, tea
wines, cocoa, vegetable oils, distilled spirits
seeds, vegetables and Spices the combined
value of those items amounting to about
1855, OO0,OOO
During 1901 for the first time in several
years, our exports of cotton exceeded in
value our exports of breadstuffs. After
cotton and breadStuffs, which held the first
and second places in our agricultural ex-
port trade, meat products formed the larg-
est item. Additional exports of leading i'm
portanee named in the order OF their value,
We're live animals, tobacco, vegetable oils,
oil cake and oil cake meal, fruits and nuts
dairy products and seeds. These ten items
comprised in value nearly 81 per cent of
our total shipments of farm produce for
1901.

RICHMOND, Va, April THE new
constitution will be proclaimed beyond

many of the delegates from the promise
TO submit 1t to the people for ratification
The argument is to be advanced that If the
new constitution is submitted it will mean
its defeat.
The members Of the convention and the
people who go on the stump to represent
the democracy do not relish the idea of
having to discuss the abolition of the
county courts of the state, which has for
years been one Of the time-honored insti-
tutions of the state. When the farmer

say.
Whether decision will be reached to-
day or in a week l cannot say" he said.
The members of the commission and of
the advisory committee will unite upon
which they, or the majority, consider the
best design"
1t is understood that the members who
visited the collection on Saturday, after
going over the models carefully devoted
the greater part of their attention to seven
designs.
Mr.. Kitson's Design.
One of the most interesting designs SUBJ
mitted is that of Mr.. Henry Hudson Kitson
of Boston. the architectural work of which
Is by Mr.. Hull Of New York. The archi-
tectural feature of the design is a peri
style on the walls Of which are has reliefs
picturing, a number of epochs In the life
of Grant.
These reliefs represent the surrender OF
Vicksburg, Chattanooga, the Wilderness,
Appomattox. Grant receiving his commits
sion as head of the armies from Lincoln at
the White House. his taking the oath of
once as President of the United States
and one showing him writing his memoirs
in the closing days of his life at Mt Nc
Gregor.
1ne has reliefs, with the exception of Ap-
pomattox, which is central, are intended to
De ~ feet 3 inches by 0 feet The central
relief is intended to be 10 feet by 10 feet 6
inches. Grant is the important feature of
each model.
The real feature Of the design is the
group by Mr.. kitson, representing Grant
dismounted and standing on an eminence
watching the operations of the army. The
pose is characteristic. BY his side is a
horse. The calmness of the great soldier
and the restessness of his steed make a
conception that Is new and unique.
