Sketch of Colonel Samford.
Opelika, Ala.. April M.—(Special.)—Hon.
W. J. Samford. who was nominated for
■ governor of A abatna yestenlay. Is a citi
zen of Opelfk t and one of whom the en-
I tire state Is proud.
Colonel Samf rd was born within the
confines of the territory now a port of
Lee county, but then In Macon, and Is
closely identified with the affalis of the
state, having always taken an active in
terest In public matters. He Is ab >ut llf
ty-Ove years of age; was a member <*f
the constitutional convention of 1575, and
is the author of the clause limiting the
rate of taxation, lie took an active part
in shaping the constitution submitted by

congress from the third Alabama district,
and. made an enviab e record in that
body. He was not a candidate for re
nonilnakon. and »»• succeeded by the
j Hon. W. C. Oates. He was s -on after- |
1 ward elected to the state senate from the
| .district composed of lx*e and Russell
counties, and so ably did he represent hl*
people und the state that at the second
session he was made president of that
body. He was a must pleasing and ef
ficient prvskling oflh er, ano his record iix
that position has been surpassed by
none.
In IsfC he was again ch sen to the
senate fr-*m the same district and again
i Impressed himself very forcibly upon the

■
ttng the senate in 1SI»5, he retired from

that he has a c ntrol and sift of language

AMERICAN FLOUR ABROAD.
LARGE AMOUNT HAS BEEN SENT
OVER THE PACIFIC.
Our Trade in Breadstuffs with the
Orient Is Growing Very
Rapidly. 1
Washington, April 21.—(Special.)—The
announcement of a large wheat shipment
to Japan, sent from a Pacific port, lends
Interest to some figures which the treas
ury bureau of statistics has prepared re
garding tlie growing demand for American
foodstuffs and manufacturers In the
orient. Nearly s6,ot’>,<joo worth of our flour
went to the orient last year, against
about $4,000,000 worth in the preceding
year and nearly all of It to China. Ja
pan and Asiatic Russia, the large propor
tion of tlmt which reached China passing
through Hong Kong, to which is was ac
credited in our export statements. Ship
ments of bread-stuffs in tlie form of wheat
to the orient, however, have been In the
past rare, and the large shipment of
wheat iust announce d shows the growing
demand for our breadstuffs in lhat section
of the world which buys annually sl.ww.-
t.nO.rtH) worth of goods, and which has been
In tho past taking less that 6 per cent
of its purchases from the United States.
Growth in the Orient.
That our sales to the orient are rapidly
growing, however, is shown by tlie latest
export statistics. They show that while
there has been a continued growth in our
exports during tho past fiscal year, by
far the largest percentage of growth has
been tn our trade wit it the orient. To
Europe out* exports during the eight
months ending with February increased
5.4 per cent as compared with tlie corn -
spondlng months of tlie preceding fiscal
year; to South America 8 per cent; to
North America, 13.3 per cent; to Asia. 38
per cent; to Oceania, 51 per cent, or to
Asia und Oceania combined, 44 per cent,
while to Africa there was a slight reduc
tion owing to the disarrangement of com
mercial conditions there by reason of hos
tilities. Taking our exports us a who!*.,
it is found that the increase during the
eight months luts been 9 per cent, while,
as already indicated, the increase to As.a
and Oceania lias been 44 pur cent.
This increase In our sales to tho orient
occurs iu every country classified under
th.* head of Asia and Oceania, to China
the increase being from $9,247,738 Ixt the
eight months ending with February, 1899,
to $10.3.'*.->,485 in the eight months ending
with Fcbruar.', 1!""'; to tlie British East
Indies, from $2*15,19''. to $3,124,169; to Hong
Kong, from H.732.<C2 to $5.136,162; to Brit
ish Australia, from $12,325,36.> to $17.999.9'3;
to the Hawaiian Islands, from ss,Wi'*,m»>
to $*.'46.8.\9, and to Japan, from sl<',s'-.>>.'4
In the eight months ending with Febru
ary, 1899. to $1 *.344.179 in the eight months
ending with February. 1900.
Conditions in Japan.
This phenomenal increase In our ex
portations to the orient and especially to
Japan, is the more surprising because
of recent information from Japan which
shows that the general importations of
that country have been decreased under
its new tariff, which is mildly protective.
The total imports of Japan in the year
181*9 were 220.267,622 yen against 277,502,157
yen in the preceding year, the value of the
yen being 49.8 cents. Tims it Is seen that
while Japan is decreasing her general
Imports, she continues to rapidly increase
her imports from the United States.
The remarkable growth of our exports
to the orient, however, only becomes fully
apparent when the figures of the present
exports are compared witlt those of a few
years ago. For instance, our exports to
Japan in the fiscal year 1*93 were but
$3,195,491 and in I*.*!' they were $17,2»>4,ti.88
and -s.'. in likely to be s26,.<w,out> in tlie
fiscal year I>K'. To China, our exports of
1*93 were $3,960,457 and in the present fis
cal year will be in round terms $15,0u0,0«v
To Hong Kong our exports during the pe
riod have doubled, being $1,216.602 in 1893
und promise to be over s.*,oot>.' V.i in the pres
ent fiscal year. To Australasia the ex
ports of 1893 were $7,921,228 and promise
to be fully $21,600.0'0 in tlie present fiscal
year. To Asiatic Russia the exjwjrts of
1893 were less titan $250,000. but will reach
fully $2.00O.0Ol» in the fiscal year about to
end. Even more remarkable, however, is
tlie growth in our exports to tlie Hawaiian
and Philippine islands. To the Hawaiian
islands tlie ex;x>rts of 1*93 were $2.827,1‘>t>3;
in 1899 $9,365,470 and in the fiscal year 1900
promise to be fully $12.0**0.000. while our
exports to the Philippines which in 1893
were but $154,378 will in the present year
exceed $2,000,06.). Considering our ex|M>rts
to Asia and Oceania combined the total
for tin* fiscal .year 1893 Is $27,421,831 for
1899. $78,285,176. and for the fiscal year
about to end will exceed $160,000,000.

Fast Mail Stays in Appropriation.
Washington. April 26.—(Special.)—By a
vote of 90 to 41 th,* house ..f representa
tives decided today to retain in the post
office bill the appropriation for a fast mail
service from Boston and New York to the
south. Tills result was reached after tlie
usual tight, which was led in this in
stance by Mr. L'ttle. of Arkansas; Mr.
Williams, of Mississippi, and Mr. Brom

-CUSSED COLONIAL POLICY.
mprisonment for Debt in Hawaiian
Islands Done Away With.
Washington, April 25.—After a brief de
bate today the senate agreed to the con
ference report on the Hawaiian civil gov
ernment bill, the provisions relating to
the right of franchise and imprisonment
for debt having been amended to con
form to the Ideas of the senate.
The agricultural appropriation bill was
passed carrying a little over $3,000,100. It
aroused no discussion of consequence, al
though the committee amendments re
ducing the amounts appropriated for
farmers’ bulletins and for the distribution
of seeds were disagreed to. The resolution
declaring Nathan B. Scott to be entitled
to his seat as a senator from West Vir
ginia, was discussed by Mr. McComas, ot
Maryland, but its consideration w'as not
concluded. The Alaskan civil govern
ment bill was under consideration for an
hour but no progress was made.
At the conclusion of routine business |
Mr. Cullom presented the conference re- 1
port on the Hawaiian bill. He explained
that the principal changes were the elim
ination of the provisions requiring the
payment of taxes before registration to
vote and imprisonment for debt or for
non-payment of taxes.
"As 1 understand it,” said Mr. Bacon,
"all residents of the United States and
Hawaii are entitled to the right of fran
chise without restriction as to the pay
ment of taxes."
"That is right," said Mr. Cullom. He
added that offices were to be filled by
citizens of Hawaii.
Mr. Tillman thought the same provls on
ought to have been Inserted in the Porto
Rican bill, so that "carpet-baggers ’
should not bo "inflicted upon those peo
ple.”
Mr. Foraker pointed cut that by the
provisions of the Porto Rican bill the
president. If ho saw fit, could appoint all ,
the officers of Porto Rico from citizens ot |
the island. . I
The conference report was then agreed .
to without division. .
The Scott resolutions were then taken ,
McComas, who is a member of the
committee on privileges and elections, re
viewed at some* length the case as tna
committee had found it upon invest ga
llon. Mr. Pettus, of Alabama who, pre
