ALMOST A FATAL SHOT.
Morris Dunlevy in Hospital and His
Assailant in Jail.

The Southern railroad station at Midland,
Fauquier county, Va, was the scene of a,
shooting affray Saturday night about 8
o'clock. which came near ending the life
of Morris Dunlevy. He was wounded in
the abdomen. and the men in the railroad
station became enraged that they threat
ened violence to William Crozes. who did
the shooting. Dunlevy was brought to this
city reaching here about . o'clock yester
day morning. He is under treatment at
the Emergency Hospital. Crozes was taken
to the county Jail at Warrenton and held
to answer a charge of alleged murderous
assault
Morris Dunlevy is about thirty-three
years old He came to this city from
Scranton, Pa. more than five years ago
and has worked as foreman on several big
contracts. He was employed on the Tiber
creek sewer under Mr.. Andrew Gleason and
Jones & Co. Later he accepted a position
in Virginia on the work that is being done
in connection with the improvement of the
Southern Railroad Companys property.
Saturday was pay day and the men in
the camp became restless when the pay
master failed to appear on time Most of
them went to the railroad station to await
his arrival and many theories were ad-
vanced concerning his delay. William
Crozes. the timekeeper. is from Knoxville,
Tenn. and he is alleged to have taken Of
Tense at a remark made by DunleVy.
The lie was passed and one shot was
fired. the victim of the bullet being rem
dered almost Immediately unconscious. He
recovered from the shock in a short time,
and although his sufferings were intense
he had to remain there all night before he
could be placed aboard a train and brought
here for hospital treatment. He says that
after recovering from the shock he was
told that the men had made threats against
hlIt ia tn
hold him for the county authorities and let
the law take its course. At o'clock in
the morning the case was heard by a mag
istrate. and the man who did the shooting
was committed to jail without bail.
The wounded man is doing well and the
doctors believe he will recover.

Expectation Of Manufactures for the
Month of April.

Month OF April.
Exportation of manufactures in April was
larger than in any preceding month In the
history of our export trade, excepting the
months of March and May, 1900. The total
value of manufactures exported in April,
1903, was, in round terms, $4O,OOO,0OO
against s26, 600 900 in April, 1898; 1,O0O,OOO
in April 1896; $16,OOOOGO in April, 1895, and
$4,000, 600 in April, 1893. Thus, comparing
April, 1908. with April 1893, the total is
nearly three times as great. On only two
occasions in the entire history of our ex-
port trade have the exports of manufac-
lures during a SINCE month reached as high
a figure as that of April, 1903. The two
months which show a larger total than
April of this year are March and May, 1900.
In March, 1900, the total exports of manu-
features were $44 767 .139; in May, 1900.
$40 AGO, 1867; while in April of this year the
total was s39,S45 $50 An examination Of
the details of the exports of these two
months. which exceeded April of this year,
shows that the higher figures of these two
months are due almost exclusively to the
fact tat iron and steel exports on those
occasions were much larger than at pres
ent. The total value of iron and steel ex-
ported in March, 1900, was 81 ,S5S, 3S7. and
in May of that year $13 .O26, 6S1; while in
April of the present year the total exports
of iron and steel were IS, 500. 233
The total exports of manufac tures in the
ten months ending with April 1903, are
$5,OOO,OO0 in excess of the total for the cor
responding ten months of last year, and
practically the same as the total for the
probable that the total exports of manufac-
lures in the fiscal year which ends with
this month will about equal those of any
fiscal year except 1900.

DUTIES OF THE MILITARY.
Cooperation With the Civil Authori
ties in Department of the Visayas.

Brig. Gen. Whit. commanding the Depart
ment of the Visayas, has issued the fol-
lowing circular in regard to the conditions
under which. United States troops may be
used in aid Of the civil authorities for the
maintenance of law and order, as defined
in the general order of March 80 last by
the commanding general, Division of the
Philippines:
THE attention of all officers, and partic-
ularly commanding officers in this depart
ment, Is directed to the fact that these
orders in no way restrict the securing Of
such information concerning local condl-
lions as may be of present or future mill
tary value, and will not excuse officers for
any neglect of this important duty On the
contrary, every officer should exhaust all
proper means in order to keep in touch with
the conditions prevailing in his section. and
commanding officers should see that all i'm
pOrtant information is at once transmitted
by wire or letter to these headquarters for
such action as may be necessary or for
file. All reports of outrages by ladrones
or others, when based on reasonably re-
liable information, as well as all other mat
ters of military interest. should be prompt
ly reported giving names of leaders, num-
bers concerned. place and brief details of
the affair. Such data may be frequently
obtained through the courtesy of constab-
ulary or other civil officers though these,
of course. will not be called upon officially
for reports. The securing of this informa-
ton may properly be made part of the duty
of the intelligence officer at each station,
but reports when made to these headquaI-
tiers should be by or through the station
commander.
Furthermore, it should hardly be neces-
sary to remind this command that no men,
Der of the military establishment is ex-
empt from the obligation which rests upon
every citizen, either of the Philippines or of
the United States, to prevent. or resist to
the best of his power, the commission OF
any crime act of unlawful violence COM
ing directly within his knowledge, and con-
corning which there is not time to warn the
constituted authorities or which they are
pOWerleSS to prevent"
