COLLIER ON THE STAND.
Tells Origin of Editorial Alleged to Be
lbeIous

New York, Jan. 26.-In the Town
Topics libel case against Norman
Hapgood, editor of Golfers Weekly,
Robert j. Collier, manager and pub
Usher of Golfers Weekly, was the
first witness. Mr. Collier said:
''In October, 1904, copy of Town
Topics was delivered at my house and
1 saw in it an article referring to
Miss Alice Roosevelt, only by her first
name. When l went down to the
Office l called Hapgood's attention to
that article and told him I thought it
was the vilest article ever printed in
any newspaper and suggested that he
write something about it. He did so,
an editorial headed, The Most De-
graded Paper in the United States.
Hapgood, in his article, however, did
not name the paper, but when l read
the proof wrote in the name Town
Topics telling Hapgood at the same
time that my action would doubtless
involve us in personal abuses"
After the arrest of Charles Able, the
solicitor, Mr. Collier said, Mr.. Hap
good wrote another editorial and while
he was doing so Mr.. Collier told him
to say in it that it was disgrace for
any Judge to be connected with Town

NEAR THREE
BILLION POINT
Foreign Commerce of United States
For 1905 Reaches Very
High Figure.
DECEMBER EXPORTS BREAK RECORD

Washington, JAM 26.-The foreign
preached surprisingly near the three
billion dollar point in the calendar year
1905, according to report issued by
the bureau of, statistics of the depart
ment of commerce and labor.
"The total imports and exports of
merchandise" the report says, ''is
$2,806,000,O 700, against $2,307, 100000 in
1900, an average increase of $100,00Q,-
900 "a year in the five-year period. If
to the $2,SO6,OO0,OOO of foreign com
merce in 1905 were added the figures
of trade with Hawaii and Porto Rico,
formerly foreign territory and included
in our statements of foreign trade
prior to 1901 the total would ap-
proach $2,900,0 100000, or about $780,
100000 more than five years ago and
$1,000, 100000 more than ten years
ago. Another notable characteristic Of
the years foreign trade is the fact
that the exports in the month of De-
cember were practically $200,O00000,
the largest months expectation in any
year prior to December, 1905, being
that of December, 1904, when the total
was $194.819, $685."
The report adds:
"The import record for 1905 is also
in excess of that Of any preceding
year, being, for the twelve months
ending with December, $1,179,358,S4
against S1,035, 5,909190 in 1904 The
growth of imports, while not rapid,
has been steady and continues to be
so, keeping pace, approximately, with
the growth of population"

LIFE HANGING BY THREAD.
Little Hope for Recovery of General
Joe Wheeler.

New York, Jan 26.-The condition
OF General Joseph Wheeler, U. S. A.,
retired, who is i'll of pneumonia at the
home of his sister in Brooklyn, is de-
cldedly critical and little hope of his
recovery is entertained.
DR.. McCorkle called DR.. John A.
Longmore into consultation in General
Wheelers case during the night and
the two physicians remained with the
patient all night. When DR.. Long
more left the sick mans chamber he
said General Wheeler's life was then
hanging by thread. The general was
only half conscious at that time and it
was believed that death might ensue
ct any moment. Oxygen was admin
istered to the patient during the morn
Ing Sor the first time. DR.. McCorkle
said shortly before 10 o'clock:
General Wheeler has one chance in
twenty of recovery. His condition is
very low and his strength is being
kept up on stimulants, but neverthe-
less he has a fighting chance"
At 2 p. m. General Wheeler was
very low and sinking rapidly.

TRIAL OF BEEF BARoNs.
Lawyers Seeking to Agree Upon Facts
in the Case.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-The efforts of the
lawyers in the packers case to reach
an agreement upon the facts in the
case were fruitless up to noon, but
the conference was still in progress.
The packers base their claim for i'm
munity from prosecution on the fact
that they were compelled by Commits
sioner Garfield to testify against them
selves. They have claimed through
their attorneys that they were prom
ised immunity by the commissioner.
The attorneys for the packers offered
to agree that no promise of immunity
had ever been made to them by Com
missioner Garfield and that such a
promise, if made, would not have had
any bearing on the case. This offer
was declined by the government law
yers.
District Attorney Morrison declared
to the attorneys for the packers that
he was willing to agree that the evi.
dence secured by Commissioner Car
field was used by him during the in
vestigation by the federal grand jury
which resulted in the Indictment of
the packers.
II used the report of Commissioner
Garfield" he declared, merely to
verify the statements Of witnesses.
could see no harm in that when the
very report that used was a state
ment OF the beef industry made by the
packers themselves and used by them
as advertising matters"
The packers, through their lawyers,
were willing to agree to statement
of fact that none Of the defendants
was served with a formal subpoena Or
ever produced testimony under oath
before the commissioner. They de-
clare that the commissioner said that
le purposely withheld the oath in or
der to administer it if he so desired
after he had procured the evidence.
The government refused to admit the
last allegation.
