Sailing Ships.

There is also number of American sail
ing ships running between Manila and both
the Atlantic and Pacific ports. Several
bring lumber from Oregon and take back
hemp, but they cannot possibly make more
than two voyages a year to any of the At
lantic ports under the most favorable cir
cumstances, and not more than three to the
nearest Pacific ports. 1t takes thirty days
for transport to come from San Fran
cisco to Manila, and the fastest passenger
steamer requires three months for round
trip via the Japanese and Chinese ports.
The usual route is from San Francisco or
Tacoma to Yokohama, Kobe, Nagasald,
Shanghai, Hong Kong and Manila, and then
back by the same ports. The Pacific Mail
ers stop at Honolulu coming and going.
The other steamers take the northern
course from Yokohama to Puget Sound.

States are chiefly flour, cotton and manu-

The fact that the new fleet will be COM

trade for some years to come Will not con-
sole the cordage manufacturers upon the
Atlantic coast, who consume 20 per cent of
the hemp which is the principal export
from the Philippines to the United States.
Last year the exports from the Philippines
to the United States were valued at s13.-
500 O59, Of which 81 .0S9 $50 was hemp. and
only sos, 800 Of the entire amount was car

Boston Steamship Company.

The Boston Steamship Company, which
operates with the Northern Pacific Railway
Company, has five new splendid steamers
engaged in carrying cargoes between Ia
coma and Manila and the ports of China
and Japan. They have all been built since
1900 and are up to date in every respect,
although they are intended for freight
rather than the passenger traffic. The
Shawmut and fremont are sister ships Of
9,616 tons register with carrying capacity
of 1902 tons and a speed of fifteen knots
an hour. They are 5O6 feet long, 50 feet
beam and 40 feet deep. They were built by
the Maryland Steel Company at Sparrows
IBERIA and Korea came out were the largest
steamers on the Pacific ocean. They have
recently been fitted up for sixty passengers
each, the cabins, dining salon. sitting room
and smoking room all being upon the hur-
ricane deck and as comfortable as steam
ship accommodations can be made.
The same company has also the Hyades
and Pleiades, sister ships, built of steel, at
Sparrows Point in 1900, 49, feet long. Al feet
beam and % feet deep, with a gross ton
mage of 3, I43 and carrying capacity or
$3.50 tons. They are for cargo exclusively,
and make from ten to twelve knots an
hour. The Lyra, from the same shipyard,
has a gross tonnage of 4,417 and can carry
5000 tons Of cargo. She is 331 feet long, Al
feet beam and SO feet deep.
The steamers described represent the
American fleet upon the Pacific, and, as l
have already said, there is no better in the
world Every American ought to be proud
of them Here is the list it will stand
when the new ships of the Great Northern
railway are ready for service.

Effect on Irvine and Cordage.

The hemp cordage and Irvine manufactur-
ers Of New England and the eastern states
made an earnest protest against the pass
ge of the bill limiting trade with the phil
ippines to American ships. because they
claim, it will materially advance the cost
of binding Irvine to the farmers OF the
United States, and of all kinds OF rope TO
American consumers, owing to the increas-
ed freights that must be paid upon hemp
shipped by way of the Pacific ports and
railroad haul of $500 miles across the
United States. They represent that the
greater part of the hemp imported into the
Atlantic states is brought in British and
Norwegian tramp steamers. which can az
ford to charge very low rates, much lower
than any American ships can possibly Offer
The new law will exclude all of these YES
sells from the trade after July /, 1906. and
there are no American ships to take their
place except on the Pacific coast, where no
hemp is needed, because no Irvine or rope Is
manufactured west Of the Mississippi. The
hemp people say that when the new law
goes into effect they will be compelled to
buy their hemp in London or Liverpool and
thus deprive New York and Boston of not
less than $13,0O0.000 worth of business
year. BY such an arrangement the new

The United States for many years has
been the largest consumer of Philippine
products. 1t was long before the war, and
there has been decided increase since We
took possession of the islands. For out of
the 3967432S exports during the year 1903
we took s13,S63 O59. England was the sec
ond best customer, buying sS930,772 worth
of hemp and other products, and France
was third, buying s.. S25,218 worth of copra,
or cocoanut meat which is manufactured
into Oil, butter and other articles at Mar
seille.
These figures do not include the military
and naval supplies sent out to Manila from
the United States.

Corn leads all crops in acreage
and value, of course, The num-
Der of acres in corn in Nebraska
was estimated at 6,629,982, and
is exceeded only by Iowa, Kansas
and Illinois. Three states also
exceed Nebraska in the total
yield of corn, but in this list
Missouri takes the place of Kan
sas, the latter state yielding a
smaller aggregate yield than Me-
braska although having a greater
acreage, and Missouri yielding
more bushels than Nebraska with
fewer acres. Seventeen states
excel Nebraska in the Weld per
acre, and this suggests a field
for improvement among the corn
growers of the state. The small
er yields of the western counties
have great deal to do with
keeping Nebraska's average down
but larger yields in the eastern
part would have great deal to
do with raising it again.
'Twenty-six bushels per acre is
not making money very fast with
corn at twenty-five or thirty
cents, and Indiana's average of
thirty-three bushels would look a
great deal better in the Nebraska
column. State Journal.

The issue of the Outlook of
January 2, gives an able review
of the Senate's investigation
against Gen. Wood. The article
shows that all the charges against
him were without foundations
and that jealsies could only have
prompted them. The in
vestigation shows General Wood
to have had seventeen years eX-
perience in military affairs and
that his promotions have been
made upon the recommendation
of his superior officers for gallen-
try and ability and without his
knowledge or soil citation. The
Outlook anticipates the report of
the Senate's investigating COM
mittee and if it is as strong as
the Outlook puts it Gen. Wood
will be greatly benefited by the
investigation and his promotion
to NJ ajor-General will have the
hearty approval of the American
people.

charge of profting from a con-

for the defense filed a demurr
holding that it was not charged
in the indictment that the Sena-

he became a member Of Congress.
He produced authority back as
far as 1903, holding that con-
tract made with the government

his subsequent election and
that it was not illegal to continue
the terms of the contract. The

too roughly.
Hicklin stood his ground
through all the clatter and men,
aces of his audience and during
his discourse he said he had been
informed that Rev. William Hunt
had been in the habit of catching
up runaway nigroes and sending
them back to their masters with
out due process of law, and charg-
ed him of being the seed of the
pro-slavery mobocrats of that
neighborhood.
When Hunt heard of this ac-
cusation he sought to have con-
ference with his brother Metho-
dist which ended after some
pretty plain talk in an agreement
for a public debate.
Hunt wished the meeting to be
held in or near Huntsville, but
Hicklin objected on account of
the demonstrations of the even
ing before. Economy was then
agreed upon as place where
both parties would be assured of
fair play and where there was no
danger of mob.
