C. , May 31.-Speclal. ( ) -A representative of the Department of Agriculture , James L. Wntklns , who has charge of nil the statistical work of thu department relating to cuton , Is now on the Pacific coast Investigating a subject In which the secretary of agriculture nnd his assistants nre much Interested nnd which undoubtedly is very Important to American cotton growers. Exports from .the . Pacific COBEI nro a comparatively new factor In our cotton trade. Not only have they In creased notably In volume In the last three years , but recently they have been. In part , from now points of shipment. Mr. Watklns' rrcacnt mission Is to Investigate that now movement , Its rcnl motive causes , the premises of Its Biowth nnd Its whole effect on our aggregate export trade , both In cot- 4on nnd In cotton goodc. These Pacific exports go chiefly to Jnpan , Uuropcnn dealers nnd distributors at Hong Kong and to strictly Chinese ports , In raw cotton our entire Asiatic traffic has grown tip In very recent years. To China , Indeed , our first considerable shipments wore made luring Uie fiscal year which ended June 30 last. In bales , our exports to the markers In question for the last five fiscal years were ns follows : 1SOI. 1S03. 1SOO. 1807. 1S03 Japan . . . . 5,770 21,031 37,510 00,500 212,512 China. 8 250 10,310 JJong K'K lSuo The whole numbers of baits exported from our Pacific coast ports these five years are as follows ' 1S9I. 1895. 1S 0. 1897.

Willamette , It will bo observed , practically entered the field of cotton exportation last year. A now shipping point this year Is San Diego. The first shipment from .that jiort was raado In Kebruary lost. Its shlp- iccntR from that tlmo to April 30 foot up 3C.C21 bales. They afford nn especially In- 4crostlng field for Investigation by the sta tisticians of the Department of Agriculture. A now route by which cotton has been going this year to the Puget sound ports tfor experts Is the Great Northern railroad. The management of that line Is very am- bltlous In the matter of export trade and Bay they have demonstrated 'to ' their entire satisfaction that even cotton , which first reaches them nt Minneapolis , can bo nd- vantagoously shipped by their road to the coast and exported thence to the Orient. The especial Importance of this fact Is In the decision to which It has helped to bring Iho Qreat Northern people to establish a line of steamers between Scattfo and Japan , China nnd 'tho ' Philippines. President "Jim" Hill has publicly announced recently that lie already has thls , project In hand and he speaks In the most confident way of our enormous commerce of the near future with the Oriental countries nnd of the stimulus that will bo given to It by his steamers ami other expected competitors In the carrying trade. Most of our people no doubt value our now eastern possessions as much for the vantage -ground" they will1 give' us lit trade vvlth Japan and China aa for their own prospective commerce. The plans and public expressions of President Hill Illustrate the ideas of our "captains of commerce" gen erally regarding our future trade with the cast , IiicronnliiK IXiiortN. In this connection It Is worth while to review the totals , as heretofore made pub lic toy the bureau of statistics , of our ex ports to Japan , China nnd Hong Kong fn few leading commodities eomo recent years of a modities , In most of which the south or weet , or both , are deeply Interested : Bacon , pounds : 1S3I. isr. . 1897. 1898. .Tapan 3,413 3.791 6,962 21.451 " China 11,707 16 , SIX ) 20.372 33,63" lIonprKonpr. 5.313 10,565 13,915 31,773 JIams , pounds : Japan 10.8S2 27,575 23.409 BS.7S China SC.STjO W.fllS 49.2.13 68,150 HongKonp. .

SURRENDERS NO POSSESSION United States Will Not Give UH Terri tory AlwnyH Held in AliixUn. WASHINGTON , May 31. The officials hero are unwilling to bo drawn publicly Into a controversy over the Canadian boundary question , oven though the matter has been made tlio subject of n. statement In the house at Ottawa by Sir Wilfrid Laurlor , which In the ordinary course would relieve the department from the obligation to maintain silence. They take the view , however , that the pendency of the negotia tions with Great Britain on this subject make It Inadvisable at this tlmo to make public the official record of the proceedings of tbo joint commission , It can bo stated , .however , on authority that there Is no disposition to question the accuracy of the statement made by Sir Wilfrid yesterday as to the position of the Canadians respecting arbi tration , nut this Is subject to the Import ant qualification that the statement refer red to a state of affairs existing when the commission was In session and at Its termination and not later. Since then there have been negotiations directly be tween the Drltlsh government and the government of the United States , conducted of late through Mr. Choato nnd Lord Salisbury In London and of what has taken mlace there. Sir Wilfrid Laurlor's statement takes no account. It Is Reiterated In the most earnest manner by the officials here that In these negotiations Canada stood In the way of nn agreement which the Drltlsh authorities after mature considera tion had accepted as eminently fair and just. Respecting the Canadian demand for the possession of Pyramid harbor on the Lynn canal , pending the decision of nn arbitration or some other competent authority that 1U title IB good , It can bo stated that the posi tion of our government remains unchanged. It dors not recognize nny parallel between the Canadian claim to Pyramid harbor and our own claim to Tnlya and Skagway. Of the latter wo have been In undisputed pos session for many years , In fact our tltlo has never before been questioned. Canada , on the other hand , never asserted nny claim to Pyramid harbor until lately nnd has never been In oven temporary possession , BO that the legal aspects of the claims are re garded as entirely different. The proposition from the DrltUd sldo to declare a neutral strip of the country leadIng - Ing from the head of the Lynn canal back across tbo mountains to the Canadian line has not commended Itself to the Stnto de partment , which falls to see why the United States should voluntarily surrender absolute tltlo to territory belonging to the United -States. S "vor Hlrctrli-ul Storm , KANSAS CITY. May 31 , Kansas City and vicinity was visited by a severe electrical storm after midnight that lasted for an hour and did more or less minor damage. In this city electric light plants were temporarily disabled by lightning running in on the wires , Telegraph companies dependent upon thorn for power to run their dynamo batter ies were Interrupted nnd electric lights in all parts of the city went out , This appar ently was the extent of the damage here , No reports of serious damage In tbo country have so far been received.

F Ipnrpp it/\11\ i p/iviMMipv/'p JllJGtS HOLD A COM'hRkMh Effort Made to Try Hartley's Oass During Present Term , ATTORNEY GENERAL MAKES THE REQUEST SIIJH | | In Important Hint Tlili Mutter IIIni | > < in Ml or nt mi Kurlj ln ) > , UN Ioiiiliurti Are Trnii-ifer- IIIK 'Ilielr l'roicrl ) , A meeting of the seven Judges of the dis trict bench \\ao called jesterday afternoon In Jiulgo Vou oil's private oince to consider the request of Attorney General Smjtu for action rescinding the order of last Janu ary by which the Hartley bond case was Placed on Judge Powell's dockol. This waster tor the purpose of making some disposition of the cnso by which It can bo tried dur ing the present term of court as Judge Powell will bo occupied during the remain der of the term by the county attorney con test case. The suggestion of the attorney general In regard to n conference of nil the Judges was approved by Judge Powell this morn- Ing. Mr. Smyth had previously asked In formally whether the court would consider n motion to transfer the case to some other docket , and yesterday Judge Powell announced that hn would certainly consider such n mo tion but ho declined to Indicate what his action would bo further than to call attention to the fact that this case was not situated like others on the docket , Inas much na It had been placed thcro by ex plicit order of the entire bench. The attorney general then sprung hlJ proposition for a conference of the Judges. Ho explained that this was not because ho wanted to take the case away from Judge Powell , but solely because It Is Important that It should bo disposed of at this tcr.n. HP eald that some of the bondsmen are transferring their property , nnd every day of delay lessens the security of the stale. Ho aHo stated that the suit against the first-term bondsmen Is now pending In Lan caster county nnd cannot bo decided until the Douglas county case IB disposed of. Judge Powell replied that the meeting of Judges naked for by the attorney general would be entirely satisfactory to him , and It was held In the afternoon. The Judges decided not to tnko any action In the matter , but leave the bond case on Judge Powell's docket to bo disposed of llko any other case on his call. It was tnig- gestcd that there Is a rehearing pending on the application for nn injunction to restrain the state from pushing the case In Douglas county , and that General Cowln , who Is the principal counsel for the defense , will not bo back from Now York before Juno 10. Under theeo circumstances It was decided that the prospects for securing an Immediate trial are not sufficient to warrant taking the case from the docket on which It was placed last January. Slow I'roKrcNM \Vliitcr-SIiIclilN disc Judging by the progress so far accom plished , the Winter-Shields contest will oc cupy Judge Powell's attention during the remainder of the summer. While the count of the ballots was begun two days ago , noth ing material has been accomplished In that direction on account of the difficulty of formulating rules of procedure that may be satisfactory to both parties. On account of the numerous scratched ballots It Is difficult to make n record that will show the exact facts In regard to each ballot , but It Is thought that this has now been accom plished nnd that the count will now proceed more rapidly. During yesterday afternoon the first real progress was made and about half of the vote for county attorney In the First ward of Omaha has been canvassed. The ballots so far examined Indicate that Shields received about CO per cent of his total vote from democrats. The figures show no material change from these announced by the can vassing board. N -l > rniUlt City AVIiiH Out. In the case of Nebraska City precinct against the Missouri Pacific Railroad com pany , tried at a former session of United States court , Judge Munger has found for the plaintiff. This was a case wherein a number of years ago the Nebraska City precinct voted bonds In aid of the Missouri Pacific , conditioned that the depot should be located at a certain point. The bonds aggregated $10,000. Later the depot , so the plaintiff contended , was located at an other point , and then suit was brought to annul the contract and have the bonds de clared void. In passing upon the case , Judge Munger has held 'that the conditions not having been complied with by the rail road company , the collection of the princi pal nnd Interest cannot bo enforced. Heavy Dninnuro Suit. In United States court the cnso of Pat rick Malloy against the Armour Packing company of South Omaha Is on trial , the plaintiff alleging1 damages In the sum of $25,000. The plaintiff was In the employ of the packing company and last December ho was engaged In feeding a hasher , a machine used for converting lard Into pulp. In some manner Malloy's left hand got caught In the machinery , and was drawn In among the knives , cutting and crushing It to such an extent that It "was found neces sary to amputate the arm close to the elbow. Ho alleges a defective machine , while the defendant alleges contributory negligence upon the part of the plaintiff. Iliiiuly Miikrn n Itcport. Special Master K. S.

DUTY OF YOUNG AMERICANS HcloiiKH < o The in to Km > Alive ( lie Kliunc of Civil Mln-rly mill I'lltrlotlMU. NEW YORK , May 31. A dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser from Paris says : Archbishop Ireland , speaking nt the Deco ration day banquet of the American Uni versity club , said : "Tho future belongs to the youth. Therefore It Is T > lens > .xnt to re call to the youth of America their dutlrn nnd rceponslbllltlos. The future of America U so grcnt that T sometimes wonder If these young men of America rcnlly know what America means. It stands for liberty with civil order , and civil order with lib erty. To fulfill this mission Is the duty of western youth In their Intelligence and virtue. Intelligence rules the world nnd It will do so more r.mi more. But without virtue Intelligence becomes morn theory. "Youth must have patriotism. This h sometimes wanting in the upper classes , but In the recent war our country showed that the rich have thU heritage in common with the poor. Theodore Roosevelt and many another young man of wealth and high family left their homes to enter the ranks with the commonest workmen , nnd proved anew the glory of American citizenship. "It Is this same class of men who are helping by their votes to make their civic labors In peace ns great as their bravery In war. They whew that wealth means more than Idle youth , which fulls In Its human mission and excites hatred. Europe was brought to revolution by Its Idle rich. America has not yet developed such a class , but Is In danger of doing so and should guar against It. There should bo In America no such separation of classes as Is seen too much In Europe. I dcprccato anything llko class pride for cither money or education. When nn American young man comes to Europe ho flmls much to learn. Wo should use nil that comes to infer for tbo good of our own nation and o make America Rrent In Its citizenship.
