ONE DAYS IMPRISONMENT.

Was the Sentence Col. ST. Remy Re-
ceived From Court-MartaI.
Nantes, France. Sept. 5-A court
martial to-day sentenced Lieut.. Col.
st. Reny, who, on Aug. Z, refused to
assist in closing the unauthorized
schools, to one days Imprisonment.
The colonel was tried on two charges:
first, refusing to obey an order given
by the commanding general second,
refusing to direct the troops of his
command to act on the requisition of
the civil authorities.
Only two witnesses were heard, and
their evidence was rather favorable to
hte accused. The court spent forty
five minutes in elaboration.
Col St. Remy did not controvert the
charge of disobedience of orders. He
said it was a choice between military
duty and his conscience. He was quite
aware that he would be court-mar-
tailed for disobedience, but he also
realized that if he obeyed his military
commanders he would have to answer
before the throne of God.
The Colonel's remarks were cheered
bv the women in court. The court
martial unanimously acquitted the
Colonel of the charge of disobeying
military orders, but by a vote of 6
to l, found him guilty of refusing TO
obey a civil reQuisition, and sentenced
him to days Imprisonment and costs.
The verdict was greeted with ap-
pIause, as it was regarded as prac-
tically an acquttal.

American Manufacturers
Increase Their Activity
Manufactured Exports Show Increase of Nearly
$tO,OOO,OOO IN Seven Months

Washington, Sept 5.-The increasing
activity of the manufacturers of the
United States is illustrated on both
the export and import side of the
latest figures of the Treasury Bureau
of Statistics. During the seven
months ending with July, 1902, the ex-
portation of manufactures was nearly
$l0,000,0Oo greater than in the CORE
spending months of the preceding year.
and the importation of manufacturers
materials was 10000, 900. greater than
in the corresponding months of the
preceding year.
The expectation of manufactures
during the seven months of the pres
ent year has averaged $35, 10S, 900 per

annum, while the importation of man.
ufacturers' materials have averaged
$S6,0O0,000 per month, or at the rate
of 1882, 900, 900 per annum. Nearly all
of the principal manufactured articles
exported. except iron and steel, show
an increase in quantity and in most
cases in value, though in a few i'm
portant articles the reduction in price
per unit of quantity has brought the
value below last years figures, while
the quantity shows an increase. This
is true of mineral oils, for example. the
aspects of which during the seven
months show an increase of over 1000
900 gallons, while the figures of value
show a decrease of about $1.O00,000.
Among the articles which show a
marked increase in exports are cotton
goods, the exports of which amount to
nearly $21,000,000 in the seven months
ending with July, 1902. against a little
less than $4,000, 900 in the correspond
ing months of 1901. This increase is
almost exclusively in cotton goods, of
which the expectations in the seven
months ending with July, 1902, were

steel, the total exports during the
seven months of this year being $751;

spending months of last year.
On the import side nearly all the
principal classes of manufacturers ma

raw cotton increased from 22.976,4S6
pounds in seven months of 1901 to ST.

the quantity having thus nearly
doubled. OF fibers the importations In
the seven months ending with July,
1901, amounted to SIS, $50, 1856, and in the
corresponding months of 1902, $22, 45T,-
1893. OF hides and skins the figures OF
imports for the seven months of 1901
were S32. 141 ,436, and for the correspond
ing months of 1902, $33, 795, esq.

in importations. the total having fallen
! from 34S99.4 46 pounds in Z months of
1901 to 30.303, 134 pounds in the same
months of 1902, though the figures OF

THE STATE FAIR.
Promises to BE Made n Great Sue
cess at Valdosta.


cess at Valdosta.
Valdosta, Ca, Sept 5-The mana
gers of the State Fair are highly
elated over the outlook for that great
show. They are confident of having
county exhibits from fifteen counties,
While there will be a score or more of
excellent individual exhibits. Ten of
the county exhibits have been closed.
and there are five or six more which
will probably be closed up next week.
The agricultural building has been
completed, and If it is full of exhibits,
the show will be a great one in every
respect. The agricultural building is
over 400 feet long and so feet wide.
The managers are signing many spe-
cial attractions for out-of-doors,
among the features being one of the
best circuses on the road. The circus
will give two exhibitions daily during
the ten days of the fair.
The machinery display this year will
be large and attractive. The man
ayers have closed a contract for a
display for all kinds of farm machin-
cry and these will be operated on the
grounds. The display will consist of
everything used on the farm, from or
binary plows to the most powerful
stump-pullers. This feature of the fair
promises to be unusually attractive,
as there has never been a display of
machinery at a fair here.
The reports from every section of the
state indicate that there will be unus-
ually large crowds in attendance, and
committees will go to work in a
short time to make arrangements fol-
accommodating the crowds.

CASE AN IMPOSITION.
steel Corporations Attorney De-
c1ares 1t to BE BIackmaiI.


Newark. Sept. 5.-vice Chancellor
Emery gave a hearing to-day in the
suit brought by ]. Aspinwall Hodge
and others for an injunction to re-
strain the United States Steel Corpora
ton from carrying out its plan to re-
tire $200,000,000 of preferred stock and
to issue $250,000.000 or per cent. bonds.
r. V. Lindabury, of counsel for the
defendant, moved for an order direct
ing the compliments to come into
court to be cross examined as to what
prompted them to bring the suit, as to
who was back of it, and as to the mo-
tive of the suit, and to be cross-ex-
ahmed on questions touching their
stockholdings.
Mr.. Lindabury also moved for an
order to have the case stricken from
the records of the court as an impo-
sltion. He declared that he and his
associate counsel. William D. Guthrie
and Charles H. Corbin, were prepared
to show by their own affidavits that
the suit was matchmaking scheme
and conspiracy, with David H. La
mar as chief conspirator.
Mr.. Lindabury then presented an af-
f1davit of Joseph E. Corrigan, a clerk
Henderson, reporting a conversation
ne had with James H. Lancaster, who
had made an affidavit when the suit
was brought in regard to the valua-
ton of the steel plants Lam
caster, Corr1gan averred, told him that
he had received $1O0 for the affidavit,
not knowing it was to be used in the
suit against the steel corporation
Corrigan said Lancaster claimed that
Lamar told him that he would pay him
$3.50 per week to keep quiet, and &c.
700 when the suit should be settled,
not later than Nov. /, 1902.
II: H. McCarter, in replying to Mr.
Lindabury, characterized the structures
regarding the good faith of the COM
plalnants as unwarranted and uncall-
ed for. He then read an affidavit by
James II. Lancaster, filed Aug. 20, in
which denial was made of the allega-
lions in the Corrigan affidavit.
Vice Chancellor Emery withheld de-
eision until next Tuesday.
