Weekly Review of Trnile ly Dun St Co. anil Ilrndstreet I'.mtk Clear ins Still InrrraahiK Special to th Ir.dlanarolis Journal. WASHINGTON. June 21. Exports from the United States In the fiscal year 1001, now about to end. will probably reach J1.500.000.OjO. the highest point ever re Corded for a single year in the history of our export trade: For the eleven months ending with May, i:01, the total exports were J1.3S".012."5. bing double those of the corresponding period of lsSD and $100, CCO.00O In excess of the total for the eleven months of last year, which broke all previous record?. Taking the commerce of the eleven months ending with May of various years as the basi3 of comparison the figures of the treasury Bureau of Sta tistics ?how that during, the period under review our exports in 1S amounted to 4&-l.l'X.$e4. In 1&4 to $S34.CJS,nSTi. in lSirj to 51.130.20,0T3, In 19C0 to I.i3..21.12j and In th present year, as already stated, J1.3S..012. LX, while for the full fiscal year our total exports give promise of exceeding one and a half billion dollars, as the eleven months' , figures only fall $115.000,000 short of that ''amount, . and tho monthly exportation of merchandise from the United States hai exceeded J120.000.000 since March 1 of this year. Tho distribution of our exports during the year among the grand divisions, bas ing tho estimate upon the percentages for ten months already available, will be in about the following proportions: To Eu rope. $1.135,000,000, as against $1,010,000,000 last year: to North America. J103.OuO.000. as egainst JlS7.3oO.UiO last year; to South .America, J4l.OnO.000. as compared with $38, ;!OU.0O0 in If): to Asia. JW.Ouu.OnO. as against nearly JG3.0eo.0u) in 1000; to Oceanlca. J3G. OUO.0OU. as against $43,400,000 last year, and ,to Africa. a? against JiD.500.000 In the preceding year. It will be observed 'that the only decreases will be In our ex ports to Asia, where unsettled conditions in China have seriously affected trade, and to Oceanlca. from which Hawaii has been omitted as a foreign country since its or ganization as a Territory of the United States. To products of agriculture Is due the credit for the greater portion of the in crease In our exports durinp the present year. In. the ten months for which de tailed figures are available, products of agriculture were valued at 5S11.5D1.P53. and formed C5.53 per-cent, of the total domes tic exports; last year they amounted to 5717,272.74. and formed but C2.21 per cent, of the total domestic exports. For the same period of this year manufactures aggre gated J330.C10.61I. and formed 27.40 per rent. oC the. domestic exports, while last year they were J3Ö2.671.2, and formed 30.60 per cent of the value of domestic exports. The exports of -agricultural products for the lull fiscal year will be about $363.000.000, as against J.S35,s.jS,i23 last year, while those of manufactures will be about J4uS.0o0.0O0. as compared with Jl33.S51.735 last year. Thl3 decrease- In the exportation of manufac tures Is due chieffy to the following causes: 1. The war In China, to which country our exports consisted largely of manufactured articles and to which market alone our pales In ten months decreased from $13. 474.703 In 1Sh to J7.70iUS8 In the present year. 2. The transfer of Hawaii from the list of foreign countries to classification as a cus toms district of the United States, neces sitating the omission from our exports of all goods passing between that island and the United States and thus decreasing by approximately $13.000.000 our exports for the year. 5. The omission for similar rea sons of merchandise passing between the United States and Torto Rico, to which Island we pent in the ten months of the present year merchandise valued at Jl.Ml. &S3. of which sum manufactures formed an Important rart, cotton goods alone repre senting over a million dollars.

Cotton Goods, Hides, Leather and Other Commodities Higher. NEW YORK. June 21. Bradstrcet's to morrow will say: The situation Is one of sustained strength In some lines and of further Improvement in others. The crop situation, of courseremains the main sub ject of Interest, and this on the whole is a good one, although too much rain in the south Atlantic States and too little in Texas, with the lack of warm weather lor corn. In tho Northwest, have consti tuted exceptions to otherwise favorable ad vices. Perhaps the most significant feature noted for some time past Is that presented thl3 week In regard to the prices of a num ber of leading commodities. Cotton goods, notably print cloths, bleached goods and a number of standard products, have been advanced this week, and an Increase in the price of. the raw material Is as much due to tho better trade advices at home and abroad as to crop damage reports from the South. Hides and leather, long threat ening an advance, have at last succeeded In this respect, and in addition corn and oats among the cereals, lard among hog products, cheese among dairy products and coffee and tin are all higher on the week, the- only important reduction being In wheat, due mainly to liquidation of the July option as much as to continued good crop advices.' European advices favor the Idea that th continent of Europe will be a heavy buyer the coming cereal year. Iron and steel lose nothing in strength as the. turn of the year approaches. Re ports of a heavy increase In Iron and Pitts burg advices are of sales of fully 73.u0 tons of bessemer pig and of considerable Juantitles of other qualities. New demand or finished material in noted, and as a wholo mill products likewise show a rea sonable Shrinkage and manufacturers are still eight weeks behind In their orders. Chicago reports some good orders for stevl rail In the market with J.V demand where iilnes has actually been consummated. li advance of $2 ca the week. Plates, Ars and structural material are also firm er at that market. Building hardware Is ,n enormous demand the country over and 1ro and nalla arc specially scarce. 'There Is even a better feeling In the Southern pig Iron market. Woolen goods trade advices are quite eheerful and clothing manufacturers and dealers are reported quite, confident as to the outlook for business. No particular change -is noted Jn wool price.-, but there Is a g-.od volume of business doing at tho East ar.il leading inferior markets. Shoo Shipment continue ti'se to the maximum, GCaln exceeding PV.-u) cases fur the week, end for the season they are 13.00) cases larger than a year ago." Hides are firmer St the Wut and higher at the East. At Chicago leather Is active and trong in sympathy with hides, and stocks of upper leather -art reported licht. There is a frrowing demand for fancy grades of black eathers. An advance of v cent on a wux caif is reported at Ronton, where export luiness In leather Is uImi better.

Dun & Cos Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: Increasing distribution of merchan dise, particularly In the territory beyond the Ohio river, including the far North west, Is a feature of the general business situation and tells of widespread prosperity and confidence. The railroads are carrying more goods that may be classed as luxuries than ever before, and. In spite of Wall street's slightly higher money market, there Is no fear on this score In any line of legitimate trade. Crop news continues good; there is less trouble from disagree ments with labor and the long laggard cot ton goods market has recovered slightly with the reduction of unsold stocks of print cloths. Less Interruption through labor contro versies at machine shops makes the Iron and steel Industry more fully employed than In recent weeks, and for another week there Is assurance of vigorous activity at mills and furnaces. In many instances promised deliveries cannot be made before July 1 and urgent business that is now offered cannot be undertaken. It is also noticed that much foreign business Is avail able, but manufacturers refuse to make bids. On the other hand, it is stated that quiet conditions will soon bo the rule and tires will go out for the customary summer overhauling. This may bo the case at a few plants, although the requirements of railroads and other known needs are such as to render any general suspension very Important. Large sales of bessemer pig re ported last week have since been denied and foundry Iron is now the favorite, espe cially at Southern points. No alteration Is recorded In prices, aside from a moderate reduction In gray forge. A year ago trade was beginning to realize the extent of Injury by drought In spring wheat States, and in a few days about s cents was added to the price. This year a decline of similar proportions has occurred, unaided by any startling disclosures. As the season advances crop conditions stead ily Improve and in some States the winter wheat is being harvested. No severe drop in quotations is anticipated, however, to the crop Is by no means beyond langer in the Northwest, and even a yield equal to the largest estimate may be required If the most gloomy foreign fears are realized. In stead of raising sutficient for its own needs, France has come forward as an anxioua purchaser, and other foreign countries are dependent on imports to an unusual extent. In three weeks exports from Atlantic ports have been 10.tl0.31i' bu. against 8,ftf'..3.$ hu last year , and -f;..04.2M2 bu In ISM. For the last week the movement from the Eastern seaboard does not show the usual gain over last year, but Pacific shipments were 95o.yi'j bu. against 64;.433.bu in läoo. Failures for the. week numbered 13 in the United States, against 17J last year, and fourteen in Canada, against fifteen last year. n.VMv CLKAHINC;S. Gain of ü'.i.Ti . Per Cent.

President's Instructions an to Changes Made Known Through the Secretnry of War. SATISFACTION AT MANILA .YEWS OF TUE AD-MI.MSTHATIOVS AC TION FAVORABLY RECEIVED. Adjutnnt General Corhin to Attend to EnllNtment of Natives la the Army of Occupation. WASHINGTON, June 21.-Secrct.iry Root to-day issued the order of the President es tablishing civil government In the Philip pines. The order follows: On and after the fourth day of July, 1301, until it shall be otherwise ordered, the President of the Philippine commission will exercise the executive authority in all civil affairs in the government of the Philippine islands heretofore exercised In such affairs by the Military Governor of the Philip pines and to that end the Hon. William H. Taft, president of the said commission, is hereby appointed civil Governor of the Philippine Islands. Such executive author ity will be exercised under anNl in con formity to the instructions to the Philip pine commissioners, dated April 7. 19uo, and subject to the approval and control of the secretary of war of the United States. The municipal and provincial civil governments, which have been, or shall hereafter be es tablished. In sr. Id islands, and all persons performing duties appertaining to the of fices of civil government in said islands, will. In respect of such duties, report to the said civil Governor. "The power to appoint civil officers, here tofore vested in the Philippine commission, or In the military Governor will be exer cised by the civil Governor, with the advice and consent of the commission. "The military Governor of the Philippines is hereby relieved from the performance, on .and after the said fourth day of July, of the civil duties hereinbefore1 described, but his authority will continue to be exercised as heretofore in those districts, in which in surrection against the authority of the United States continues to exist, or In which public order is not sufficiently re stored to enable provincial civil govern ments to be established under- the instruc tions to the commission dated April 7, 13u0. "By the President: "EIJHU ROOT. Secretary of War." ONE OF CORBI.VS DUTIES. He AVI II Attend to the Enlistment of Filipino in the Army. WASHINGTON. J,une 21. One of the Im portant duties to which General Corbin will attend in the Philippines will be the enlist ment of natives as a part of tho army in the Philippines. The army law authorizes the President to organize a force of not more than 12) Filipinos as scouts, to bo officered by Americans. At present 5.C0O Filipinos are acting as scouts. They are organized into about forty companies and are serving in almost as many different portions of the islands. They do not be long to any one tribe. It is .quite probable such natives of the present scouting force as desire to enlist in the regular force will be accepted. Lieutenants of the army are to be selected as captains of the companies and noncommissioned officers of the regular army will act as first and second lieuten ants and battalion and squadron staff offi cers. CHICAGO. June 21. Henry O. Corbin. ad jutant general United States army, passed through Chicago to-day on his way to the Philippines, where he is to investigate ex isting conditions for the secretary of war. General Corbin says he does not believe there will be any necessity for increasing the military force now in the Philippines, or even for keeping It up to its present strength. The Fourteenth. Sixteenth and Twenty-third Regular Infantry and Fourth Cavalry have already been ordered home. SATISFACTION AT MANILA. E.ttnblinhment of Civil Government Deemed a Wine Move. MANILA. June 21. The announcement made by the government at Washington yesterday and cabled here, that civil gov ernment will be established in the Philip pine Islands July 4; that Judge William II. Taft will be designated civil governor; that he will remain head of the Philippine com mission, and that the commission will con tinue, meaning the establishment of a com bination of civil and military government, is satisfactory to the members of the Phil ippine commission. Under the circum stances they believe it is politically wise to fulfill the expectations and aspirations of the natives on the day proposed, providing this is done without causing liability or a sacrifice of the customs revenues. ' Casualties in the Philippines. WASHINGTON. June 21. Acting Adju tant General Ward received a cable mes sage to-day from General Mac.Arthur an nouncing some recent casutlaies among the troops In the Philippines as a result of the recent engagement at Lipa, Luzon.

Agonclllo has been Inoper ative in Paris fbr a month past. He was seen recently, and admitted that he now received little news from the Philippines.

Auihnssndnr Cassini Repents What Consul General Ifollowny Said. WASHINGTON. Juno 21.-Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, takes exceptions to an article entitled "The Russian Situa tion from the Inside," which appeared in this week's number of the New York In dependent. He said: "I never before heard of the author of this article. The disturbances among the university stu dents last March, of which this man pro fesscs to . write authoritatively, wero no worse than they usually are. Russian stu dents arc like the students of America and every other country. They are merely boys full of vitality, which sometimes expresses Itself in reckless and lawless form. The most exaggerated accounts of the dis turbances were cabled to the newspapers of the United States and L'ngland. and I am glad of the opportunity to deny these reiorts and set my government right in thih part of the world. Two distinguished Americans Consul General Hollovvay, at St. Petersburg, and General Williams, who represents tha Cramn sliiobuilillnic firm la Russia who witnessed the disturbances, have stated more than once that there was nothing ominous or dangerous in them. 1 suppose that when the schoolboys In this country become unruly and riotous the police are calkcl on to suppress them. That Is all thnt was done by my govern ment during the students' riots last March. The government Which I represent was never more secure and stable, nor were the Czars subjects throughout his vast empire ever more loyal, prosperous and contented. They are progressing In all the arts of peace, and In common with their imperial master they have nothing but good will toward all the peoples of the earth." CENSUS OF CONSUMPTIVES. Scheme of Dr. Lewis, New Y ork State's CommlIoner of Health. NEW YORK, June 21. A census of the consumptives In this State is to be begun in about a week by Dr. Daniel Lewis, Com missioner of the State Board of Health. It will be the first census for the purpose of learning the number of consumptives in the State as far as possible and the revealing ot other facts relating to the disease. It is expected this enumeration will throw light on the question of what the State should do for the care of those within Its borders, who are atfiicted with consumption and who cannot afford to pay for treatment at I the private sanitariums, ur. Lewis saia in an interview: "I first thought ot asking the various beards of health throughout the State to ascertain the number of tuber culosis persons In their respective districts and to summit a report to me. but I have decided that I could better obtain the in formation that I desire by sending a cir cular to every physician In this State. Of course, I do not expect to get answers from them all. but I am firmly of the opinion that the majority of them will do all in their power to help me In this work and to n.ake the statistics to be recorded as relia ble as possible." Says He Cure Tuberculosis. BERLIN, June 21 Prof. Robert Koch publishes in the German Medical Weekly a declaration that Dr. Goetch. of the Slawentzitz Hospital, has used for ten years past tuberculin against pure tuberculosis with unvarying success. FAVORS A SOUTHERN MAN JOHN WESLEY GAINES TRYING TO STAUT A PRESIDENTIAL HOOM. He Would Have Democrat Nominate Morgan, Cockrell, Cnrmnck, llail cy or Harlan in 11)04. NEW Y'ORK. June 21. A special to the Tribune from Washington says: Congress man John Wesley Gaines, of Tennessee, In an Interview, favors the nomination of a Southern man for 'President In 1904. He says: "My proposition for the nomination of a Southern man for President in 1904 is taking like wildfire. Since I made It, a week ago, I have received stacks of letters from all parts of the country commending me. For more than fifty years this country was ruled by the South, and I am satis tied we can regain control if we go about It In the right way. The first step In this direction should be the nomination of a straight, old-fashioned Southern Democrat for President in 1904. The man who says that the South does not now possess an abundance of presidential material is a fool. I can name a dozen men or more, any one of whom would make us a winning candidate." ; Then Mr. Gaines mentioned these names: Senator Morgan, of Alabama; Senator Cockrell, of Missouri; Senator Carmack and ex-Senator Turley, of Tennessee; Sen ators Culberson and Bailey, of Texas; Sen ator Bacon and Clark IJowell. of Georgia; Associate Justice White, of ; Louisiana. "And," said Mr. Gaines, "you might add to this list the name of .John Marshall Harlan, of Kentucky, who, though ap pointed to the United States Supreme Court as a Republican, has enunciated fine old Democratic doctrines from the bench more than once. "The war is over and the South Is an Integral part of the Union, and not an in sular possession or a Porto Rico, and, be sides, haven't numerous ex-Confederates served on the bench of the Supreme Court and in other positions of the federal judi ciary by appointment of both Democratic and Republican Presidents? Also, haven't several ex-Confederates served in the Cabi nets of both Republican and Democratic Presidents? Congress has been full of ex Confederates for thirty years. Surely, If ex-Confederates can be trusted to make and interpret laws they can be trusted to execute them. Therefore my voice from this time on shall be for a Southern man for President." Not All Favor Disfranchisement. RICHMOND. Va., June 21. The commit tees of the constitutional convention wero appointed to-day. Interest centered in the suffrage committee, of which United States Senator Daniel was made chairman. Its make-up was with the view of giving as surance that all factions had been recog nized. Senator Daniel said he would call the committee together next week. The disposition is to take up and dispose of the question of franchise at the earliest day possible, so as to clear the track for othe questions of importance. For the present the franchise question is absorbing the at tention of all. There is a conservative ele ment opposed to a very radical action against the negro vote, some members bas ing their opposition on the ground that an extreme position will hurt the State. Alnhama's Coimtltntion. MONTGOMERY, Ala., June 21.-In the constitutional convention to-day an ordi nance was introduced creating a board of arbitration. The report of the committeo on preamble and declaration of rights rec ommends the following features new to the Alabama Constitution: No law shall be passed to curtail or restrain the liberty of speech and the liberty of the press; a de fendant to have the right to testify in his own behalf; the General Assembly to be prohibited from giving any exclusive or irrevocable special . privileges or Immuni ties; all franchises, privileges and Immuni ties to be subject, to revocation, altera tion and amendment; to strike out the prohibition against educational or prop erty qualification for suffrage. MAY JOIN THE MILITIA. Printing Pressmen Not Forbidden to Become Citizen Soldiers. WASHINGTON, June 21.-The printing pressmen in their international convention here to-day finally decided against the reso lution requesting members of the union to refrain from Joining military organizations.

RR AGAIN DENIED GEN. BOTHA, ROER COMMANDER, HAS NOT SURRENDERED. Lloyds Held to He Responsible for a Large Sum of Gold Command eered l- the Burghers. MANY CHILDREN CARED FOR THIRTY-FOUR THOUSAND LITTLE BOERS IN BRITISH CAMPS. Report of Capt. Slocum, Who Wa with British in South Africa "Tommy Atkins" Too Ilrave. LONDON, June 21.-The Sun this after noon again prints the sensational announce ment which it made June 18, that General Botha, the Boer commanded after the re ceipt of President Kruger's decision not to concede anything, decided to ignore the for mer president of the Transvaal and surren der. The paper also says it Is believed at the British Foreign Office that the formal act of surrender lias already occurred. The secretary of Mr. Joseph Chamber lain, the colonial secretary, to-night de clared that the rumors of the surrender of General Botha are unfounded. Considerable interest has been aroused by the success of the Dreifontein case in the Appeal Court in which Lloyds is held for the 500,000 which the Transvaal govern ment commandeered from a train. Lloyds' published a report Oct 3, 1SW, to the effect that gold valued at 5X),000 and in transit had been commandeered or seized by the Transvaal authorities. This was before the South Africa war had broken out, for the Boers did not enter Natal until Oct. 11, 1S:)0, though the Orange Free State, Oct. 6, of the same year, had seized eight hundred tons of coal, in transit, belonging to the govern ment of Cape Colony. The report of the seizure of 500.000 in gold was reiterated Oct. 4, 1SW, and it was further said that the amount was cammandeered while on its way from Johannesburg to Cape Town, be ing the week's shipment of gold, insured at Lloyds', from the Rand. The gold was sub sequently taken to Pretoria. The war secretary, Mr. Brodcrick. in formed a questioner in the House of Com mons to-day that out of 6.1.000 persons in the concentration camps of South Africa 31,000 were children. CAPTAIN SLOCU3PS REPORT. British Too Brave to Win Victories Over the Boers. WASHINGTON, June 21. Capt. S. L. H. Slocum, Eighth Cavalry, who was military attache with the British army during tho early part of the Boer war, has made his report to the War Department. At the time of the British defeat at Colenso, Dec. 25, 1SW, Captain Slocum said he considered the situation of the British the most crit ical. They had been defeated all along the line, and had the Boers assumed offensive operations the English army, with long and thinly guarded lines, would have been placed in great jeopardy. Captain Slocum also was with Lord Roberts, and describes in detail the movement toward Kimberley. He says that Roberts was confronted with a crisis which would have staggered and been the undoing of many commanders in consequence. His advance to Kimberley and beyond was successfully carried out. and the surrender of General Cronje changed the situation and relieved the critical position of the British army. Speak ing of the Boers, Captain Slocum says they were splendid on the defensive, but did not consider offensive movements a3 part of their proper tactics. He speaks of the British people as a nation as exemplifying the phrase, "brave to a fault," and adds: "If they were less brave there would have been many less faults and more victories in this war. Caution they have not, but just bunt ahead and take the consequences. Lord Roberts is a shining and graring ex ception to this rule. All In all, I consider him to be a remarkable man and general." Captain Slocum says the English artillery had tremendous preponderance over that of the Boers, who rarely ever used their artillery. Captain Slocum says smokeless powder enables an army to conceal Itself, although artillery may be located by the flash. Balloons and powerful telescopes must be used to locate an enemy. Speaking of the march of the British army from Bloemfonteln to Pretoria, he dwells on the indifference of the officers to enforce orders for safety, and the reluc tance of the soldiers to intrench them selves. The Infantry never rush in their attack, but march calmly forward. Captain Slocum says mounted men wait ing for orders to advance sit erect, making a perfect target for the rifle at short range. He adds: "They have not the Individuality and resources of our men. but for indom itable courage, uncomplaining fortitude and implicit obedience they are beyond criti cism." WORLD'S OUTPUT OF GOLD. Onlr 9235,92f,G5i in 11)00, Against 3jt311,5.53,917 in 1S99. NEW YORK, June 21. The Engineering and Mining Journal will to-morrow publish complete estimates of the gold output in the United States and in the world at large last year. The figures, JUS, 133.562 for the United States, and $255.024,054 for the world at large, comparing with $33,51S,712 and $311, 505,917 in 10, do not differ materially from the estimates of several months ago. Regarding the reduced world's output the Engineering and Mining Journal observes: "The unfavorable result was due to the small contribution made by the Transvaal mines, a few only of which were operated during the early months of the year. De ducting the Transvaal output from the grand totals for 18W and W0u, the statistics show an increase in the other gold-producing countries of $10.171.000. The largest gains were made by the United States, Canada, India, Rhodesia and Brazil, while in Australia and China there were Impor tant decreases. In one respect the gold situation in 1900 was unprecedented. It has never been suddenly cut entirely off, or almost entirely. The Transvaal, which produced I7S.07O.7C1 in gold in 1S98, was ex pected to yield over JKö.eoo.OOO in 1S09 and $110.000,000 in 19o0. The war broke out in October, 1SW, and the total for that year was $72.1C1.501: while In 1) the only produc tion was from the few mines which were operated by the government In the opening months of the year, and this work was stopped when the British armies reached Johannesburg. Instead of $110,000.000 the Transvaal appears In our table for only $7.20S.8C9. "The United States, which, in 1S99. ranked third among the great gold producers. In lfioo showed a substantial Increase which, with the limitation of the Transvaal, put P. in the first place in 1. Australasia dropped from first place to second place, while Canada took the third rank, though at a long interval, and Russia took the fourth place. These four countries pro duced together 79.2 per cent, of the total." Cortex Not Yet Found. LAREDO. Tex..
