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. m;ws %t m m.iv An Attempted \ **f mI nu t i on— Commissioner to He Fleeted.

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.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. APRIL 2. 1900. 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.
