Washington. April 1 -An injerostlng
ptalemont showing the th* agri
cultural imports of the United Stat' ■*
during the five fiscal years. 1N94-IS9B li ‘s
been prepared by Frank H. Hitchcock,
chief of the foreign markets’ sc tion of
the agricultural department Some of the
more important statements it contains,
are ns follows:
During the five fiscal years. 1894-1898,
the agricultural imports of the 1 niu 1
States had an average annual value of
$368,748,457. Sugar, coffee, hides and skins,
wool, silk, vegetable fibers, fruits and
tea were the articles imported most ex
tensively. Measured in value, these < ight
items formed over four-tfifths of our total
import trade in agricultural products for
the period mentioned, their combined value
averaging $300,000,000 a year.
Of this sum more than one-half was
paid for two commodities —sugar and cof
fee. The average yearly value of the su
gar imports for 1894-1898 amounted to
$90,418,685 and coffee $83,570,106.
Brazil, which furnishes about two-thirds
of the coffee imports, heads the list. The
agricultural imports from Brazil during
the five years had an average annual
value of $59,617,524. Cuba, the principal
source of the sugar purchased by the
United States, ranked next to Brazil in
importance. The average yearly valu<‘ for
1894-1898 of our agricultural Imports from
the island amounted to $37,403,232, or 10 per
cent, of the total. After sugar, the most
important items were tobacco and fruits.
Under normal conditions, our imports of
agricultural produce from Cuba are mu .h
larger than is indicated by the average
for 1894-98. During the period mentioned
there was a remarkable falling off. the
important value for 1898 amounting to only
$13,158,036, as compared with $72,451,355 for
3894. In 1894 Cuba stood foremost among
the sources of our agricultural imports,
the products received from the island dur
ing that year exceeding in value those
from Brazil.
From Englanil nii<l Germany.
The agricultural imports from the Unit
ed Kingdom averaged annually $33,084,065,
ft large part being produce of British de
pendencies re-exported by the mother
country. Wool and hides were the leading
articles. From Germany the average an
nual imports were $23,004,787, beet sugar
forming the principal item, from China,
3n7.278.849, tea and silk being the principal
items. Of all the tea imported more than
one-half came from China. From Japan
the imports were $16,892,735. silk being the
most important item, about one-half of
the total silk importations coming from
that country. Japan also furnished over a
third of the tea imported. From France
the average yearly imports w r ere $16,606.-
£37, wines, hides, wools, silk, fruit and
nuts and vegetable oils being the leading
items. Imports from other countries were:
Italy $14,057,238; Mexico, $13,094,462; vegeta
ble fibres being*the leading item; Dutch
Kasi Indies $12,600,172; a large part of the
sum being paid for cane sugar; Ha
waiian Islands, $12,073,440, sugar forming
the principal part and after that rice,
coffee, bananas and hides; British West
Indies, $9,901,839, sugar being the chief im
port; Canada, $9,883,491, largely farm prod
ucts; Netherlands. $8,961,119; Sumatra to
bacco comprising about half; British East
Indies, $8,910,011; Venezuela, $7,893,938,
largely coffee, Venezuela ranking next to
Brazil as a source of coffee
supply; Argentina, $7,361,282; Egypt,
$5,020,765, Egyptian cotton being
the leading article. The above
mentioned countries include all whose im
ports exceed $5,000,000. The agricultural
imports from the Philippine Islands, con
sisting chiefly of Manila hemp and sugar,
averaged $4,925,669.
Increase From Some Sources.
A1 thought the total value of the agricul
tural imports amounted to only $314,291,796
in 1898, as compared With $364,433,627 in
1894, a considerable increase was record
ed from several of the leading sources of
supply. Japan, China and the Hawaiian
Islands afforded the most striking in
stances of a growing trade. The value of
the agricultural products imported fr< m
Japan rose from $14,035,637 in TOI, to JO,-
965,384 in 1898, China from $14,282,829 to $lB,-
346,474, and the Hawaiian Islands from
$10,020,943 to $17,142,508.
Of the sources from which produ s of
agriculture were received in diminished
quantities during the five years, Cuba
was the most conspicuous. Asa result
of the disturbed conditions that preva lcd
on the island, our agricultural import *
from Cuba declined in value from $72.451.:,55
in 1894 to only $13,158,036 in 1898. a falling
off of nearly $60,000,000.
Next to the Cuban trade, the most im
portant decline occurred in the case of
Brazil, our agricultural imports from that
country showing a loss of more than $20.-
000,000. The value for 1898 was only $46,-
460,192, as against $68,100,195 for 1894.
Over one-half of tlje agricultural imports
for the five years came from countries
lying wholly or in chief part within the
tropics and consisted largely of products
that cannot .#e supplied from our own
soil.

SIPPEHEI) FOR HIS BROTHER.
Charley Went to Penitentiary
for Another's Crime.
Columbia, S. C., April I.—Charley and |
Eugene Mills are twins. They lived in j
Spartanburg county up to two years ago,
when Charley, convicted of highway rob- j
bery, was sent to the penitentiary under
a six-years’ sentence. The brothers re- j
sembled each other so closely that only j
those who had known them from infancy
could tell one from the other. Eugene
was the "black sheep," and, as boys,
Charley frequently guttered pumsnment'on
his account.
Gov. MrSwceney has Ju?d decided to
grant a full pardon to Charley Mills, in
disputable evidence being presented that
for two years the young man has been
Wearing convict stripes for a crime of
which he was innocent, but which was ;
committed by bis brother.
While the present assistant attorney
general was a magistrate in Spartanburg 1
a man named J. A. Phillips was held up
on the highway at the point of u pistol
and robbed of his watch and some money.
The victim had Eugene Mills arrested,
and at the hearing before Magistrate
Gunter the man admitted his guilt and
was sentenced to serve thirty days on
the chain-gang. When the sentence had
been served Phillips, wishing to further
prosecute the case in the Sessions Court,
pointed out Charley Mills to law officers
as the highwayman who had robbed him.
At - the trial the defendant pleaded not
guilty, but when Phillips positively iden
tified him as the man who had relieved
him of his watch, he made no mention
of his brother being the guilty one. So
he was convicted anil sentenced to six
years at hard labor.
The miscarriage of justice has but re
cently come to the attention of Assist
ant Attorney General Gunter and his for
mer constable. They make Affidavits cov
ering tlie whole ease, showing that Eu
gene Mills Was the man brought before
the magistrate; that he admitted his guilt
and the extreme sentence permitted a
magistrate to give was Imposed; that
Charley and Eugene resembled each other
so closely that one who did not know
them well and observe them closely would
be liable to take one for the other.
The judge anil solicitor ask *- t a full
pardon be granted Charley Mills, who
could never have been convicted if such
evidence In his behalf had been offered at
the trial. When he was charged with the
crime and it was declared he had been
convicted by the magistrate, Charley Mills
made no denial. Had he done so the
books of the magistrate would have been
produced and ii would have been shown
that Eugene, bjs brother, was the man
sentenced by the lower court, and the
one who had there confessed to the rob
bery.

MR. HULL OF IOWA, HIS WORK.
UK \K\ Kit TRIE* TO FOltt K \
ME %SI HE.
He In Ho ili a Worker and a Diplo
matist— Not tlie liigrNl Man in Ihe
Delegation From Ilia Slate But He
Average* I p Well ia a Crowd C’oni
po*ed of Good Sized Men—An Ex
ample of III* Persistence.
Washington, March 31.—Representative
Hull of lowa enjoys legislative work.
He is a good parliamentarian and ran
preside over the House without embar
rassment. “On the floor” he is different
from most members. He never tries to
force a measure—he carries it through. A
colleague has said that Hull can get bills
through the House with less friction than
any other man on the floor. When ob
jection is made, ho explains, and when
some other man might smart under a
taunt and show resentment, Hull will
good TTaturedly seek to satisfy the objec
tor with argument rather than fight him
down. He mak* s a good speech, hut di
plomacy, not oratory, is his long suit.
His methods*have made him popular with
his fellow members and a good many of
them know him as “John.” Those who
do not know him so well salute him as
“Captain.” This title dates hark to his
Civil War service. His admirers from
lowa call him “Governor,” because of his
two terms as Lieutenant Governor of the
state.
Hull is best known as chairman of the
I9bu.se Committee on Military Affairs. Be
fore the war with Spain this chairman
ship might have been called ti “genteel”
position, just as the chairmanship of ap
proplations was “powerful,” the chair
ship of pensions “laborious,” the chair
manship of judiciary “dignified,” and
so on. But nowadays the military chair
manship is one of great importance, and
Chairman Hull had iower, labor and dig
nify showered upon him because of m s
following the battleship Maine’s misfor
tune. He has been chairman of the com
mittee since the Fifty-fourth Congress.
When Spenker Reed made up his com
mittees at the opening of that Congress
more chairmanships were given to lowa
than any other stale in the Union in
proportion to the size of her delegation.
Henderson was chairman of the Judiciary
and first man next to the Speaker on
Rules; Hull headed Military Affairs, Hep
burn Interstate and Foreign Commerce,
Lacey Public Lands and there were two
other lowa chairmen. Six of lowa’s
eleven members received chairmanships
and the others were well taken care of.
This has nothing to do with Hull, except
to show that an lowa member has n hard
time to be specially conspicuous. Hull is
not the biggest man of the delegation,
even excepting the Speaker, but he is
one of a collection of big fellows.
As nn expert on military affairs, Hull
is now pointed out in the same way that
payne is as a “tariff expert," or as “Un
cle Joe” Cannon is referred to as an “au
thority on appropriations.” .During the
war legislation of 1898 Hull was one of the
best friends the administration had in the
cnpitol building. His mission was to co
operate with the war department anl
he did so without causing excitement or
friction. He was cool, deliberate and
wise. He had helpful suggestions to moke
to the war department officials. When
plans were formed he put them into ex
ecution in the house. He worked hard
on the hill for the army, and it was a
hitter disappointment to him that the in
crease was not for. a hundred thousand
regulars instead of sixty-five thousand
regulars and thirty-five thousand volun
teers.
Hull Is good looking. He appears to
advantage in a dress suit. Tn Fifth
avenue in New York or on Connecticut
avenue in Washington, he might be call
ed n “dandy.” The expression of his face
is full of business, yet it is by no means
lacking in Intellectuality. Tn his auto
biography published in the Congressional
Directory, he says he is “engaged in
farming nnd banking.’’ This is partic
ularly true as to the farming. In sum
mer he spends part of his time looking
after his favorite farm, and enjoys the
life as much os he does any horny
handed member of his constituency. If
he should lose his job as congressman he
would lx* as likely lo take up with farm
ing as he would be to take the manage
ment of one of the brinks in Des Moines
in which he is interested.
Asa representative. Hull is tireless. He
is always at it; in fact, he wastes labor
occasionally because some of it does not
show and brings no fruit or reward ex
cept satisfaction to him. He has both de
termination and A Con
gress or two back he had a bill granting
a pension of $72 a month to a Des Moines
veteran of the Civil War. After he had
argued for it before the committee, it
was reported favorably, but jvith the
amount cut down to SSO. It c :me up in Its
turn at one of the Friday, night sessions
devoted to pensions. He was on hand, as
was his lowa colleague, Lacey, who had
written the report. Hull made a long
statement explaining the merits of the
bill. Lacey also spoke in favor of it. S me
one calU and for the reading of tlie report.
This took time and indicated that all
would not be smooth sailing. Hull made
another statement in his graceful' man
ner. Then the reading of the m nority re
port was demanded. This was another
bad omen. A speech was made against the
hill and then Hull had to make another
appeal. He seemed to satisfy the objec
tors and the vote was next in order.
As the roll call proceeded it could be
observed that two were voting for the bill
to every one against it. All was happiness
for Hull. “Thirty-two ayes to fourteen
noes,” announced the chairman and he
was about to add, “And the bill is laid
aside with a favorable recommendation,”
when out rang the words, “No quorum.”
A quorum could not be mustered and the
next thing the House did was to adjourn.
This would have discouraged a go and many
men but Hull biought that bill up on an
other occasion and it was passed. Still
the opposition was not satisfied and still
later Hull succeeded in having the House
reconsider its action and recall the bill
from the Senate. Then, in spite of the
House having reversed Itself. Hull got
the bill up again and secured its passage.
It want through the Senate*, received the
I‘resident’s signature, and the Des Moines
veteran drew his pension. There had been
n lot of opposition to that bill, hut there
was no opposition to Hull.
Hull's devotion to details and his love
of work give value to his service ns a
representative. He does lots of work in
committee and would rather dictate let
ters than eat. L#ess than fifty-nine years
of age and enjoying fine health, he is
good for some years yet. And, with much
army legislation to come, no matter what
develops in the present war. he ought to
grow.
