 On the other hand Great Britains ex- ports to this country amounted to only $165,7 ,74s,560 or a little more in comparison than the total amount of hog products furnished her by the United States The principal items making that amount dur ing the same year included ores. manu- factured cloths, hides, rubber, tin plate and jewelry. The amount of agricultural products shipped to the United States was insignificant.
 The latest British figures available show that during the year 1902 the Uni- ted States far out-did any of the king dom's colonies in importing foodstuffs, into the British sales. The figures as far as of interest are as follows, and are fur nished from the British governments compilation"
 Figures Quoted.
 Wheat. British East Indies, s1l5se. $40; Australia, $7.112,9S0; New Zealand $28s,- zoo; Canada, sl5,ses 745; United States, s72.- 375, S05.

 Live sheep-Canada, s4s2, ,5Os; United States, $,s06, 6s0. No figures for Australia.

 Fresh beef-Australia, s579, 5s0; New Zealand, $2,0s5. 995; United States, $26,O2s,- 2S5.
 These figures are regarded by officials of the agricultural department as abso- lute conviction that England must de- pend upon us for the bulk of her food products. All her colonies are at present upon an equal tariff basis with the United States It Is pointed out therefore, that If the colonies were capable of producing more they would surely do so and in- crease their markets in England, to the detriment of the American farmers How ever, 1t Is conceded that should the CO., lonial farmers be given preferential rates an incentive for an increase in agricul- tural production would be furnished, and the loss of United States products might be affected to some extent in that way.
 Officials of the department however, talk in way that Is reassurlng to the farming element and apparently have no immediate fear of the adoption of MT. Cnamperlain s proposition. W. s.

CAPTAIN FITCH PROMOTED.

"Capt. Graham D. Fitch, corps of engineers, is relieved from his pres ent duties, and will proceed to West Point for duty at the academy"
 The foregoing order from the war department at Washington was issued Thursday, and was read with interest in Little Rock Saturday, as Captain Fitch is in charge of the United States engineers office, on Ninth and Center streets, in Little Rock, and has charge of the work on the Arkansas river and in this vicinity.
 Captain Fitch came to Little Rock two years ago, succeeding Capt. Rob- ert MeGregor, who died last week in the Philippines, as United States en- gineer, in Little Rock He came from Memphis, where for a year he had been in charge of the Mississippi river work. Prior to that he was in Cuba in command of an engineering corps, and was engaged in the Santi- ago campaign in 1898.
 He is the ranking captain of the en- gineer corps, and is next in line fol promotion to the rank of major.
 Though the order received does not mention change in rank, the transfer to the academy at West Point is z promotion, as none but the best off cers in the service are selected for the duties of instructor to the troops there.

BUSINESS HOUSES BURN.
Fire Originating in Rear of Post Office Burns Four Store Buildings Sew
 eral Severe Losses Sustained.

Shortly after three o'clock Monday morning, Joe Washington, porter for the Hazel Hotel, thinking that he de- tected the odor of burning tar, made an inspection tour around the hotel building, but seeing neither smoke nor fire, concluded that his fears were not well grounded. An hour later however, he noticed smoke issuing from the front brick wall of the post office. Upon breaking open the door, the smoke burst forth, removing all doubts as to the reality and scene of the fire.
 The alarm was turned in at 4:10 a.. m. followed by quick response upon the part of the company, but the flames had gained such headway that owing to the peculiar construction of the building, the work of trying to confine the flames to one building proved futile. The first adjacent building on the south and the two on the north are are all owned by H. l.. Remmel and owing to defective roof l ing, the fire walls of each were torn away few years ago and a second roof had been put down over the first. Patching had continued until there were four roofs upon these buildings and the fire after once getting in 1 between these layers of roofing, baf- fled the work of the company.
 Though the weather was the coldest of the winter, the fire laddies worked faithfully throughout the morning, though their clothing was stiff with ice. The contents of Bracy's restau- rant and confectionery were partially saved, but the mail and postoffice fix lures are almost a total loss. The totalloss probably aggregates between S12, ,O00 and $15, 1000 which is partially covered by $10, ,500 insurance.
 INDIVIDUAL LOSSES.
 The four single story brick store buildings are valued at 1000 to $8,000 and insured for the former amount by the owner, H. l.. Remmel of Little Rock. E. D. Bracy & Go. estimate their loss at $4, 1000 to 1000, which is par tially covered by the following insur- ance: Fixtures, $1,000; contents, $500; soda fountain, $500.
 w. B. Empie, with $400 insurance on post office fixtures, claims loss oi S1 1000. To reporter for the INDIE PENDENT he stated that the post office would be reopened for service as soon as possible, probably in Col. L. Minors office.
 Wm. Knoles carried insurance on his stock to the sum of $1, 100.

CONTEST FOR LICENSE.
Battle Begins Between Attorneys for And Against License Before Coun- ty Judge, Dr. J. M. Jones Prohis Introduce Techni-
 calities.

The contest in the courts, which had been promised by the preparations Of prohis and the advocates of saloons opened Monday morning before Dr.. J. M. Jones, sitting as county judge. Petitions had been filed from the adults of the Newport and Jackson port three mile districts, asking the revocation of the court order of two years ago and the reinstatement of saloons.
 The attorneys for the prohis de- murred to the jurisdiction of Judge Jones' court and asked the striking off of 67 names found upon the petition of the "wets'' from the Jacksonport district, alleging the same to be un- qualified.
 Court took recess until afternoon, when Judge Stuckey for the license advocates asked of the court the re- vocation of the order of 1901, refusing license. At this point, s. D. Campbell for the prohis, objected to the con- sideration of this petition, first upon the ground that the license petition was addressed to Dr. J. M. Jones, judge, as distinguished from the county judge and thus no petition could be prayed of the court.
 Secondly, objection was made on the technicality that court had ad- journed on January 5, without speci- flying an adjourned session and conse- quently the January term had lapsed. In support of this second objection, Clerk B. L. Boyce and Sheriff R. w. Randy were called as witnesses and testified that to their knowledge court had not adjourned to any speci- fled date.
 | Argument upon this motion was be- ing heard at press hour and the peti- tion may be granted and saloons li- censed during the afternoon session. Such is the hope of the saloon forces.
 Their attorneys are Stuckey & Stuckey, Stayton & Stayton and Gus tave Jones, while Phillips and Camp bell, G. A. Hillhouse and J. M Bell represent the opponents of license.
 HEARING SET FOR FRIDAY.
 Later-At 3:3O p. m., in response to request of attorneys for prohis, the court adjourned to Friday morning, when the petition for revocation ot the old court order will be heard and decision rendered.

MOORE CLEARLY LEADING.
Phillips County Candidate Looks Like A Winner for House Speaker ship Senator Short Successful
 Tn Senate.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 11.De- velopments in the contests for presi- dent of the senate and speaker of the house followed thick and fast yester- day. Shortly afternoon Senator Thomas w. Hardy of Camden am nounced his withdrawal from the presidency contest, which was follow ed one hour later by statement from Representative R. w. Chrisp of Scar cy, that he had withdrawn from the speakership race. Tonight, shortly after supper Senator Creed Caldwell of Pine Bluff, called a conference of his friends, and after it's close Senator M. P. Huddleston, one of his sup porters called at the headquarters of Senator Joe l.. Short and announced the withdrawal of Senator Caldwell. This left clear field for Senator Short and at Mondays senatorial caucus he will be selected to preside over the senate.
 The speakership contest continues to be the interesting feature of the organization contests. The Moore forces and Toney adherents again held caucuses and conferences during the day. It is learned upon the best au- thority that fifty-seven represent- atives were present and disclosed their intentions of voting for Moore, while six others were represented by trusted agents, who made the same statement. It is now generally con ceded outside of the Toney head quarters that Judge Moore has won the fight.
