HOW TRADE GROWS
Our Exports for This Year Beat
All Records.
THE BEST APRIL IN OUR HISTORY
Partly Dae to Hlsher Price for
ProdHCt,vPartIy to Increased
Volume of Output.
WASHINGTON. May- 20. The fiscal
year 1500 continues to break all records
In the matter of exportatlons. April Is
an example of this fact- The total ex
ports in April, as just announced by the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics, are $113,
826,507, which is $20,000,000 more than In
any preceding April, $30,000,000 more than
April of last year, and double that of
April, 1893. Ne er before has April, which
is urually a light export month, reached
the .$100,000,000 mark In Its exports.
Every branch of industry lends Its aid
to this increase. The total figures for the
month of April have not jet been suffi
ciently analyzed to show the exact In
crease In each class, but analysis of
those for the month of March shows that
agricultural exports in that month were
$18,000,000 greater than in the correspond
ing month of last year, that manufactures
were $8,000,000 in excess of the correspond
ing month of the preceding year, that
products of the mine were nearly 50 per
cent in excess of those of the correspond
ing month of 1899, while products of the
forest, the fisheries and those grouped
es miscellaneous all showed an increase.
The advance In prices" of cotton, corn,
oats, wheat and provisions accounts In
part for the increase in the value of ag
ricultural exports, while there is also an
increase In quantity exported, especially
in cotton, and the advance in values also
accounts In part for the great Increase
in exports of manufactures.
It is now apparent that in all the great
classes of our exports the record of the
year 1SO0 will exceed that of any earlier
year. In the nine months ending with
March, exports of agricultural products
were $18,000,000 greater than those of the
corresponding months of 1899, manufac
tures were $70,000,000 greater than those
of the same months In the preceding fiscal
year, products of the mine exceeded those
of the corresponding months of 1899 by
23 per cent, those of the forest showed a
like Increase, and fisheries and miscel
laneous also showed a gain over the cor
responding months of the preceding fiscal
year, and with the phenomenal Increase
of $30,000,000 In April. 1900. as compared
with April, 1839, it is quite apparent that
the record of the year, which ends less
than GO days hence, will exceed that of
any earlier year In our history.

the exports in April of each year from
1890 to 1900:

OUR TRADE WITH GERMANY.
Protective Tariff Aialnnt American
GoodH "Will Soou Come.
VASHINGTON, May 20. Under cover
of an annual report on the trade relations
of Germany, Consul-General Maeon, at
Berlin, has published in the volume of
commercial relations, Issued from the
bureau of foreign commerce. State Depart
ment, some exceedingly Important state
ments relative to the present conditions
goernlng trade bet een Germany and the
- United Statoa. Still more Important are
the predictions made by Mr Mason as
to the' treatment Germany ha In store
for United States trade at competitive
points hereafter, and his warnings to
Americans of the German purpose to de
mand far higher duties on imports, espe
cially against the United States pro
ducts. Mr. Mason says that Germany haa
been paralyzed at the enormous upward
bound of foreign trade of the United
States, and as German merchants have
come to the conclusion that this pros
perity Is attributable entirely to the United
States tariff laws and argue that a sim
ilar policy could not fall to benefit Ger
many, they propose a revision of their
tariff on the line of a general and heavy
increase of duties, especially upon lm
. ports from the United States.
Mr. Mason has much to say about the
steadily growing Irritation exhibited by
tho German press against the United
States, and the criticisms of the trade
papers of our customs officers, who are
charged with practicing chicanery in their
efforts to prevent undervaluation of Ger
an exports to the United States. Com
plaints are made against Germans acting
as agents for the sale of American or
English gooda, and conditions are belns
imposed to discourage the taking of for
eign pupils in German technical schools.
He treats also of the great growth in the
German trade in tho East, resulting in the
new policy of the Government and Its de
termination to obtain a share of what the
far-sighted statesmen recognize as the
chief commercial prize of the 20th cen
turythe trade of China. German trade
with China has Increased 70 per cent In
the last four years, and German capital la
heing invested with an audacity which
should stand as an example to Americans
seeking foreign trade.
In conclusion and recurring to the sub
ject of relations between the United
States and Germany in the future, Mr.
Mason has this to say:
"There Is therefore every possibility
that tho new tariff and such amended
Special treaties as Germany may consent
to enact will modify the commercial rela
tions of the Empire with other nations
particularly with the United States. It Is
not to be denied or overlooked that while
tho attltudo of the Imperial Government
toward our country has been uniformly
correct, there Is In certain business circles
here a feeling of enmity and resentment
which did not exist prior to 189S. The
heavj balance of trade which the Un'ted
States now holds against the fatherland,
the decline In textile exports and the
sharpened customs regulations against
undervaluations, the concessions recently
.granted to France, and, above all, the
enormous growth of American manufac
tured exports, the aggressive competition
of American metal and other products lu
South American and Eastern markets
all these weigh heavily on tho hearts of
the people here and will be hard fought
when the new tariff and treaties come to
open debate In the Reichstag. "What most
enlightened thinkers expect, or at least
hope for. is that out of all these muta
tions will come a broad, liberal, comprehensively-framed
treaty or series of treat
ies between the United States and Ger
many, In which all the vexed and irritat
ing questions relating to naturalized cit
izenship, countervailing duties and port
charges on vessels shall be regulated and
liberal Justice to Imports of food products
secured by reciprocal concessions and em
bodied in permanent conventions between
the two countries.
"RUals and competitors in foreign fields
South America. Africa and Asia the
United States and the German Empire will
always be but this Is no reason why the
two nations Fhould not be In their direct
relations with each other harmonious
and mutuallj considerate, and this result
can in no way so effectively be promoted
as by an Intell'gcnt revision of obsolete
treaties and their adjustment to modern
requirements and conditions."
CMchko Drnnk Plague Coffee.
NEW YORK. May 20. The Herald to
morrow will say:
In an interview yesterday, Michael C.
Murphy, president of the Board of Health,
made the sensational statement that the
cargo of coffee brought from tho bubonic
plague-Infected port of Santos, Braz'l, by
the steamship Taylor last Autumn, and
which the authorities would not permit
to be landed in this city, was loaded in
cars at Wechawken, N. J., and secretly
sent to Chicago. "The people of Chicago,'
he said, with a smile, "drank that bubonic-Infected
coffee. They did not know
It, hut they .drank it-"
CLARK CASE AGAIN.
Xillcely to Occupy Mncn Time of Sen
ate This Wcek.-
WASHINGTON, May 20. Senator
Chandler has given notice that he will
ask the Senate to take up the resolution
concerning the election of Senator Clark,
of Montana, at 1 o'clock Monday, but It
now appears probable that the resolution
may go over again. There Is no under
standing that the consideration of this
resolution shall be controlled by the
.course of Senator Clark with reference
to the presentation of bis credentials as
a Senator under his appointment by the
Governor of Montana, but so far a dis
position has been manifested to allow
them to travel together, and It Is now
the understanding In the Senate that
Clark will not present these credentials.
It is therefore probable that the entire
Clack matter may be Indefinitely post
poned for lack of prosecution, and that
no more may be heard of It during the
session. If, however, Clark should change
his mind and present his credentials, Sen
ator Chandler would move to refer them
to the committee on privileges and elec
tions, and If this motion should prevail,
an Immediate effort would be made to
have the resolution bearing upon Clark's
original election considered. Chandler,
indeed, may call up the resolution inde
pendently of the credentials, and make
a statement presenting the entire situa
tion. If the case comes up at all, it is
sure to develop an interesting debate.
The postofflce appropriation bill will
continue to receive attention Monday if
the Clark case does not displace It. Sen
ator Spooner has given notice of a speech
on the Philippine question on Monday at
2 o'clock. Senator Morgan stated Satur
day that he would znpve Tuesday to have
the Nicaragua Canal bill made the un
finished business, thus displacing the bill
In regard to the government of the Phil
ippines. The motion will be resisted, but
the Indications are that if a vote is reach
ed the motion will prevail. Whether the
bill shall pass, however, will depend upon
the length of the debate; at this. late day
In the session prolonged debate would be
fatal to almost any measure.
There will be several conference reports
on appropriation bills to be considered
during the week, and possibly some, If not
all of the three appropriation measures,
which havo not yet been received from
committee will be brought In. These
bills are the sundry civil, the general de
ficiency and the military academy bills.
These are the last of the appropriation
bills, and there is no reason why all of
them should not be reported within the
next week. With these "bills finally dis
posed of and the pending conference re
ports adopted, the Senate will be prepar
ed to meet the House In a movement to
adjourn. There does not now appear any
necessity for the postponement of this
event beyond the 11th of June.
In the House.
The Alaskan code bill and the District
of Columbia code bill will be used as
stop-gaps in the House for "the remainder
of the session to keep out the flood of leg
islation that always presses at the end
of the session. They will give way at all
times to conference reports and such
other matters as the leaders are willing
to allow to ro through. Tomorrow Is
District of Columbia day. and later In the
week tho anti-trust bill and resolution
reported by the Judiciary committee may
be considered. The St. -Ixiuls fair bill
"may also be considered. The bill to meet
the case of Neely, which the Attorney
General Is anxious should pass at once,
doubtless will be acted upon during tha
week.

QUICK ROBBERY OF HOTEL
BOX TAKEN CONTAINING VALUA
BLES TO EXTENT OP $1550.
Many People "Were Auout the Place
at the Time, hat Had No
Chance to Interfere.
KANSAS CITT. Mo., May 20. A lone
hlghwajman entered the corridor,, of
Cote's Hotel at 1150 o'clock tonight, and,
forcing th'e strong box of the cigar stand,
escaped. The box contained diamonds
valued at $1200, $250 In money, and checks
to the amount of $100. He held the night
olerk and another employe of the hotel
off at the point of a revoHer and escaped
on a horse that he had tied to the curb
ing.
At the time of the hold-up, which was
one of the most daring ever perpetrated
In Kansas City, a Times reporter, James
Sullivan, and Colonel Fred Fleming, of
the Missouri National Guard, were seated
on one end of the lobby; Night Clerk
William Gossett stood behind the register
ing desk. Night Watchman Charles L.
Mokes was pacing to and fro In the cen
ter of the floor, and J. W. Garvey, a
guest, and Key Clerk Kelleher were near
by. Sherman Clark, clerk of the stand, a
short distance away, was waiting on a
customer, who was probably the robber's
confederate. Kelleher was the first to no
tice the robber, as he entered the lobby.
"D n you," exclaimed the visitor as
Kelleher faced him, "act as it you were
going to do something."
The rohber, as he spoke, thrust the muz
zle, of a revolver In Kelleher's face, ffTEh
stepped behind the counter, picked up the
strong box and turned to go. Clerk
Clark saw him at this moment.
"Hold on," he cried, "what do you
want?"
"You , don't you move,"
commanded the "man behind the gun," as
he pointed his weapon at Clark's head, "if
you do, I'll get ou."
He backed out of the door with his
face turned to the lobby, and, with re
volver, leveled, disappeared. So daring
was the robbery committed, it was a min
ute almost before Kelleher or tClark could
make an outcry. The night watchman
awoke from his reverie to see the confed
erate disappear through another entrance.
Just before the robbery occurred, Kel
leher had placed 12 pieces of diamond
Jewelry, consisting of rings, studs and
pins, valued In the aggregate at $1200,
about $250 In money and some checks la
the box, preparatory to taking It to .the
hotel safe.
Night Clerk Gossett claims that the
robber's name Is Fishbask, and that he
knows him well. The robber is described
as being 35 years old, about six feet in
height, and well dressed. According to
Clerk GossetC'the man had lived at the
hotel for a week. He had on one occa
sion taken the clerk for a drive and had
generally been considered a "good fel
low." DAGGER IN HER BREAST.

The Wily Turkish Admiral Professes
to Expect HI Instructions
Through the Embassy.
NEW YORK. Mav "n TOo.tr-Arimfral
Ahmed Pasha, who arrived at this" port
jnnay nignt, sam. last nignt that hifl
mission to this country had no connection
with any work of diplomacy. In speaking
of the report that he had any proposals
to make to this country concerning the
indemnity claimed by the United States
from Turkey because of injuries suffered
by missionaries during, the . Armenian
troubles, he said to a Tribune reporter;
"My "business Is that of an engineer,
not of a diplomat. Of diplomatic rela
tions, therefore, I have no right to speak.
That fall3 to the duty of our Turkish
Minister at Washington. As yet I am
waiting instructions from the Sublime
Porte. They are to come to me from the
Minister, but Inasmuch as I arrived only
last night I am not surprised that I have
not heard from him.
"From what I could- learn of the desires
of the Sultan in conversation with him
he Is anxious to Increase the prowess of
his navy. I will "not give "the reasons. I
will not say whether we fear Russia,
England or any other country, but, at
any rate, we see that our navy must he
put on a basis with Western countries.
From what we have seen and learned ot
the American Navy It seemed that there
could be no better place to learn modern
methods of construction than In America.
Again, It Is a neutral country, one which
would not view such a visit with suspicion.
I was selected for the mission because I
am the englneer-ln-chlef of the Turkish
Navy.
"I shall doubtless visit the different
naval stations of this country; perhaps
go as far as San Francisco, but will give
special attention to the navy yards at
Brooklyn and Newport News. When I
have reported to tho Sublime Porte the
result of my study, then I may make some
purchases."
When the Admiral -was asked to speak
of the situation between Russia and Tur
key, he said:
"As a cosmopolitan, rather than an en
voy of the Sultan, I would say that Rus
sia's greatest danger Is from herself.
She Is composed of a strange conglomer
ation of peoples, many of whom have no
sympathy for each other. It also happens
that SOme Of the suhlucratprt Tipen1o: tnnt
have come under the sway of the Czar
are hiirher In thu eitarulnrr? nt 1nt1Tirt-
morals and physical strength than the
race oi tne ruling Romanoffs. There Is
the Caucasian, for Instance, who Is far
superior In prowess of war; there Is the
Pole, who Is higher in the scale of In
tellectual endowments, and the Finn, who
Is more moral In his habits of life. And
yet, RusHla is still spreading out. still
grasping for more, still taking under her
peoples who are wholly antagonistic to
her In point of all racial qualities."
"Le me tell you," he began again, "If
Russia suffered one great, overwhelming
battle she would go to pieces because of
her own decentralizing forces; force?
which are kept within bounds only by
fear and the dread at punishment" an6
exile."
May Still Seek Delay.
NEW YORK. May 2L According to a
special to the Herald from Washington,
All Ferrouh Bey, the Turkish Minister,
Is expected to present Ahmed Pasha, Rear
Admiral of the Turkish Navy, sent to the
United States to place a contract for a
Turkh cruiser and to settle the Ameri
can missionary claims, to the Secretary
of State this week. Ahmed Pasha is ex
pected to present himself today at the
Turkish Legation. His statement that he
would get Instructions through the Min
ister is not understood in Turkish diplo
matic circles here. The understanding ot
the authorities has been that tho Admiral
would bring Instructions for the settle
ment of the dispute. If the Admiral's
trip Is only one of Inspection, then it Is
said the authorities will be certain that
the Sublime Porte Is only seeking delay,
and they will more vigorously exert pres
sure to force It to pay 'the Indemnity.
BERLIN MARKET EASIER.
Industrial Condition Gives Fresh
Conlldence to Speculators.
BERLIN, May 20. Last week began
with a rise in the money rate, Ijut this
was followed by a corresponding decline
and the market Is now easier than It has
been for several weeks. This condition is
explained by the fact that the banks have
compelled their over-speculating custom
ers to close out, and have thus liberated
much money. The Relchsbank statement
also had a favorable effect upon the mar
ket. The reduced speculation causes a
light demand for money.
The reaction in coal and iron shares
has been checked. During the first of
the week violent declines continued, the
Bourse remaining under the influence of
unfavorable American reports; but in
fluential leaders of the German iron In
dustry exoressed the opinion that Amer
ican competition need not he feared, and
excellent reports from numerous indus
trial concerns came in, with the result
that fresh confidence was given to specu
lators. Ever since the recovery of the
market has been rapid, particularly at
the end of the week, and yesterday wit
nessed heavy advances In Irons and coal
ers. The market for Americans continues
firm. Northern Pacific common being es
pecially In demand.
Measures for relieving tho coal scarc
ity are still under discussion. The As
sociatlen of Dresden Manufacturers has
resolved to inquire Into the possibility of
Importing American coal, so as to ren
der themselves Independent of Bohemia.
The recently organized printing paper
syndicata having raised prices, the crown
paper publishers have decided, in carry
ing out their scheme to supply them
selves, to construct co-operative factor
ies. Germany's exports of printing paper
have fallen off 23 per cent, since 1S97, ow
ing' chiefly to American competition in
England and Holland.
LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
Improvement Cemented by the Xews
From. Mafeklng.
LONDON, May 20. The improvement
which characterized the stock exchange
hst week has been firmly cemented by
the news of the relief of Mafeklng. The
indications are that business is likely to
be more active soon. The settlement did
did not disclose difficulties In any of the
markets, and the outlook all around la
promising. Consols rose one point on the
week, and the war loan 1 3-8.
Americans showed a euhstantlal recov
ery, closing strong In spite of the fact
that the stock exchange almost entirely
neglected business yesterday In order to

Baltimore & Ohio rose 1 points; Chica

Western. 1; L. & N 1; Southern Paci

to Lord Roberts and the advance of Gen
eral Buller in Natal sent mining shares
upwards; but as yet there has been little
activity In buying. Rands showed a gain
of 1 point on the week.
The easy money situation was further
accentuated by the war news, by the re
ceipt of 1,000,000 in Russian gold, and by
heavy governmeunt disbursements.

and for a week 2&. Three months' bills

HOOSIERS BOOM FAIRBANKS
Think They Can Make Him President
Four Years Hence.
INDIANAPOLIS, "May 20. Indiana Re
publican leaders and delegates to the Na
tional convention will go to Philadelphia
with the intension of starting a boom for
Senator Fairbanks for President In 1304.
They have talked the matter over among
themselves and have come to the conclu
sion that the time Is ripe to begin. Since
Congressman Landls, In his speech before
the state convention, announced that In
diana would propose the name of Sena
tor Fairbanks for President in 1904, It has
"been regarded as almost a certainty that
Senator Fairbanks will be a candidate for
-nomination.
Republican leaders In the state say there
Is a growing sentiment for him everj-
where. and unless something unexpected
happens the prominent men of a number
of states will rally to his support when
the time comes for him to make an an
nouncement. It Is generally understood
that the course of Senator Fairbanks has
been pleasing to the President, Senator
Hanna and others, they say, and the
leaders in this state say that It will rot
be difficult to impress the crowds at
Philadelphia that Senator Fairbanks Is
the right man for the party to nominate
for President next. It is probable thai
Senator Fairbanks will be made chairman
of the Indiana delegation at Philadelphia.
There will be probably 1000 Indlanans .it
the convention.
Conference of Gold Democrats.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 20. Leaders of

what the Gold Democrats will do in the
coming campaign. The call was Issued
by John R. Wilson, as member of the
National committee and Si Perkins, as
state chairman. They say the Go.d Dem
ocrats will determine whether they will
put a National ticket in the field.
Nothing final will be done till after the
National Democratic Convention in July.

reaffirms the Chicago platform, the In
diana Gold Democrats will do all In their
power, to put a National ticket In the
field.
