The bureau of statistics of the Treasury | Department in {ts October summary of the finance and commerce of the United States appends a table of the imports and. exports of this country from 1885 to 1897. These figures are full of interest, as show- ing that the United States is becoming, year by year, one of the great exporting countries of the world; that Uncle Sam’s people are selling more than they are buy- ing. The alarm felt by England and expressed in her newspapers over the exports of manufactures of iron and steel from this country to that is growing. For the forty-one years prior to 1876 there were only nine years in which the exports of this country were in excess of imports. The excess for those nine years was small. For the other thirty-two years since 1835 and up to 1872 we imported mil- ons of dollars’ worth more goods than we sent away. Since 1876 there have been only three years in which the imports exceeded the exports. These years were 1887, 188% and 1893, and the balance in favor of imports Was so small as to hardly count. Since 1894 our exports have largely ex- ceeded imports. For the year ending June 30, 1897, the excess of exports over imports Was $287,613,186. The year to end next June promi: to break that record. Up to this time our exports have gone far ahead of the same period last year. The im- mense shipments of grain to Europe will help swelt the balance in favor of this country. TRIBUTE TO GENIUS Remarkable Exercises at the Funer al of Henry George. REMAINS VIEWED BY A MULTITUDE His Character Eulogized by Clergy- men of Many Creeds. BURIAL WILL BE TODAY The George rvices at the bier of the late Henry in New York yesterday were in many respects the most remarkable ever vorded a private citizen of this country. rgymen representing almost every popu- ereed stood together and vied with each other im eulogies of the departed philoso- pher. The tribute paid by the people who admired the man and his teachings to be only limited to the time allott public to pass by the bier. It was es ed that 30,000 people took a last look at the remains and as many more stood without anxious though unable to take advantage of the privilege. The Baltimere Sun gives the following details of the funeral ceremonies: From 9 o'clock in the morning until 3 in the afternoon a steady stream of men, wo- men and children poured into the Grand ntral Palace, where the body lay in The throng was composed of repre- entatives of all classes, of all religious piniors. On hundreds of the faces were s ef grief and pain. ildren, of whom there were hundreds, 1 aloft by ushers and held while gazed at the features of Mr. George. In the early dawn the body was moved from the Union Square Hotel to the Grand Central Palace, attended by a guard of honor and four policemen. Grief of His Daughter. Anna George, the youngest daughter of the dead leader, insisted upon accompany- ing the bedy. No persuasion could sway her from her purpose. Weeping bitterly, she stocd at the head of the stairs at the hotel and begged to be permitted to go. ! She wished to arrange the flowers about the coitin in which her father's body re- posed. Pleadings proved vain, and she ally refused to permit the body to be taken away unless she accompanied it The other members of the grief emphasized by guish, d to the ing hands, she arran; flowers as she would have them, and per- mitted no one to lend the slightest aid. Passing the Body in Battalions. At 9 o'e! ck the deors were opened, and ‘sons who had been with is. They saw at the head of he hall, in an immense bower of floral tributes, a plain hea Black cloth-covered coffin resting on a dais. Through the glass saw the dead reposing calmly, his tures unruffied, as if in sleep. The left arm rested lightly on the breast, the other by the side. The bedy was ciad in black dcloth, a turn-down collar and a plain black tie. ‘or the first half hour the throng filing ugh the hail in twos passed at the rate “an hour, but soon the numbers ed and grew until at one time eighty passed each minute. At 3 o'clock the Mine was stopped, and those who could not get into the building were compelled to turn back. A careful mate of the number who could not find entrance places it at 30,000. This Is equal to the number of those who passed the bod: During the last hour the body lay in state an orchestra. played Chopin's funeral march, Handel's “Largo” and “The Lost Chord. The floral decorations were profuse and beautiful. Family and Pallbearers. Mrs. George was heavily veiled when she entered, but during the speaking she rais- ed her veil and followed the remarks of each speaker attentively. While showing plainly the strain through which she had passed, she maintained her composure with stern fortitude. To her right were seated the other members of the family and relatives The reserved seats to the left were oc- cupied by the pallbearers and the ushers. ‘The pallbearers were: Active—Tom L. Johnson, August Lewis, Andrew McLean, Thomas G. Shearman, Arthur McEwen, Louis F. Post, Jerome O'Neill and Charles Frederick Adams. Honorary—Mayor William L. Strong of New York, Mayor Frederick W.

Mayor Strong sat in the center of the platform, and was surrounded by a num- ber of the more distinguished persons pres- ent. Behind the mayor sat Seth Low, with Col. George E. Waring by his side. Among others present were John Jeroloman, presi- dent of the board of aldermen; Mayor Pat- rick J. Gleason of Long Island City; E. M. Grout, Nathan Straus, Joseph Larocque, Sheriff Tamsen and Oscar Straus. Reading the Burial Service. After the crowd which had been looking at the body of Mr. George filed out of the Grand Ceniral Palace there was a brief interval, end then the doors were opened again for the funeral service. The exercises began at 3:25 o'clock with the singing of the hyman, “Lead, Kindly Light,” by a quartet. Rev. Dr. R. Heber Newton, who was Mr. George’s warm, per- soral friend, as well as his pastor, then read the burial service. ‘ewton did not wear his ecclesias- tical robes and used no reading desk. The service was, therefore, in a way, informal, there being also no responses. It was, how- ever, the regular burial service of the Prot- estart Episcopal Charch. At the conclusion of the burial service Rev. br. Lyman Abbott spoke briefly upon the character and public services of Mr. George. Rabbi Gottheil spoke next. Both paid high tributes to Mr. George. Applause for Dr. McGlynn. After another kymn by the choir, Rev. Dr. Edward McGlynn, who was once sus- pended frem his priestly functions because of his advecacy of Mr. George's theories, spoke. Prior to his address the vast as- semblage had preserved a church-like quiet, but the ringing words of Dr. McGlynn soon ¢voked cutbursts of applause which could not he repressed. He said: “The place where we meet is not one dedicated to religion, or to the service of God, but has general!y been used for pur- peses ef recreation, of amusement or of art. It has today been made sacred. We meet upon holy ground and stand ashamed in the presence of a message directed to us from the throne of God. “It is no ordinary message that the mes- senser brirgs us. The messenger of death nas brought to our hearts that which has immeasurably shocked us. “We stand upon ground made sacred by the body of a man who was raised from among us by our Father in heaven to spreaé the messages of truth and right- cousness and justice and peace to all. He d‘ed in a struggle for the cause of human- ity, especially that of New York, but it wus altogether too small for hig broad mind and indomitable energy. The strug- gle in which he bas always been engaged was for the rights of man and for justice to all. “A Man Sent From God.” “He was simply a seer, a Prophet, a fore- runner sent by God, and we can say in all reverence an in the words of the Scriptures, that ‘There was a man sent from God, Whose name was John. He was sent to bear witness of the light.’ I believe I am not guilty of any profanation of the sacred Scriptures when I say there was a man sent from Ged end his nume was Henry George." Dr. McGlynn was here interrupted by ap- plause throughout the hall and seemed ly affected. Henry George's gentle heart,” the doc- tor continued, “was ready to break because he saw nothirg came from the professors of the schools of political economy, -which could improve the condition of the people, because the limits of the knowledge of those economists were hardly to be consid- red within the bounds of science at all. Truly, it was designed by Providence to raise up such a man before the world to expose the fallacy and the injustice of their reasoning. “His Teachings Live.” “Wherever word has gone that Henry George is dead, his teachings live, and his voice is heard though he lies stilf in death. His works have been read throughout the world, ard in every language known in the universe George speaks to all humanity to- day. a “Why is this vast gathering assembled here today? Why is it that vast multi- tudes have come here from: early morn— from almost before the rising of the sun— to gaze mournfully and lovingly on his face and to contemplate the noble character of the man? It is because there was sent from God that man, Henry George. We should receive the message sent us by the great messenger of death and maintain the teachings of which he was the indomitable and intrepid advocate. “It would, indeed, be a pity that such a man should be elected mayor cf New York, be compelled to bear the petty crosses, the unending strife and the unceasing troubles of such a position. He has died as such a man should have died. Has Made Lasting Fame. Rg Han ft te a LARGEST ACCOUNTING OFFICE. Report of Sixth Auditor Castle to the Treasury. Sixth Auditor Castle, in his annual re- Port to the Secretary of the Treasury, says that his office is regarded as the largest accounting office in the world. “Its em- ployes,” he says, “nearly 500 in number, are engaged in the important work of ad- Justing the accounts of the entire postal service, with its $176,416,750.59 of receipts and expenditures. A separate ledger ac- count is kept with each of the 70,000 post offices in the country. It audits the pay of each of the postmasters, railway mail clerks, post office clerks, letter carriers, mail contractors and department employes, constituting the 150,000 persons on the pay rolls of the postal system. It receives, checks, assorts and files each of the 26,000,- 000 money orders issued annually in the United States, aggregating in amount $%64,- 112,010.93, The report shows thet the postal reve- nues for the year ended June 30. were 665,462.73, and the expenditures $03,781.- 287.86, the excess of expenditures over re- ceipts being $11,115,825.13. The total reve- nue from the money order business was $967,151.06. Auditor Castle says in the course of his report: “In the files of this office there is a quan- tity of letters, accounts, memorandums, éte., which have long since served their usefulness and are no longer required. The estimated weight is fifty tons. The further preservation of these m:scellaneous papers seems to be needless, and I recommend that authority be obtained from Congress to destroy them. A detailed statement thereof has been prepared and will be sub- mitted when required. Their destructiori at this time will save the expense of mov- ing them from their present location to the new building, and will afford this of- fice valuable floor space. Congress has al- ready authorized the Secretary of the Treasury and the Postmaster General to destroy all money order statements ren- dered by postmasters and all paid moncy crders and paid postal notes accompany- ing the same after seven years shall have elapsed from the expiration of the period covered by such statements.” Sg “LONG LIVE BLANCO.” Havana Extends Cordial Greeting to New Captain General. A dispatch from Havana yesterday says: The Spanish cruiser Alfonso XIII, with Marshal Blanco, the new governor genera) of Cuba, on board, was sighted off Havana this morning at 5:30 o'clock. At 7 o'clock the Alfonso XIII entered the harbor, and Lieutenant General Weyler, the Marquis Ahumada, Admiral Navarro and other high military and naval officers went in a spe- cial steamer to meet Captain General Blanco. After a long and cordial confer- ence, Lieutenant General Weyler yielded up his command to his successor. At i Marshal Blanco landed. Ac- cording to the official account he was greet- ed enthusiastically by the populace, who shouted “Long live Blanco.” The vessels in the harbor and the streets were deco- rated gaily. The wharves were crowded with people, and -troops and volunteers lined the thoroughfares from the landing stage to the palace. When Marshal Blanco arrived at the palace he was met by the civil and mili- tary authorities and by deputatéons repre- senting the various political parties, and then proceeded to the Hall of Conferences, where, in accordance with the ritual and ceremony customary on such occasions, he took the oath of fidelity to Spain. He then appeared upon the balcony and reviewed the troops. Among the officers who accompanied Mar- shal Blanco on the Alfonso XIII are Gen- eral Gonzales, General Parrado, General Pando, General Pin, General Aguirre, Gen- eral Ceballos, General Salcedo and General Balderama. ———_—_+oe-____ MRS.

C.-True, director jof the office’ of ex- perimental stations of‘the Department of Agriculture, has. submitted his report to Seeretary “Wiison. The report is based on three sourees of imformation—financial statements of the stations, rendered on the schedules ‘preseribed by the department; printed repcrts and bulletins of the sta- tions and the reports of officers of the de- partment, made under personal examina- tion of the stations. The report states that altogether a year of prosperity was en- Joyed on all-sides. The @emands for infor- mation furnished by the stations are stead- fly increasing among tle farmers. Agricultural stations ‘were started under the act of March 2, 1887. They are in all states and territories, Alaska being the only section having none. In each of the states of Alabama, Connecticut, New Jer- sey and New York a:separate station is maintained wholly orjin part by a state fund. In Louisiana a station for sugar ex- periments is maintainpd by the planters. The separate station maintained for many years in the state of; Massachusetts has been combined with the Hatch experiment- al station in that state. There are excel- lent branch stations in several.states, the total number in the United States of all the stations being fiftyfour. Of these. fif- ty-two receive appropriations provided for by Congress. - Support of the Stations. The total income of s.ations during 1896 was nearly $1,200,000, of which the sum of $720,000 was from the national government. The remainder came from a number of sources, of which $268,000 was from ‘state governments. The sum of $51,884 was re- ceived for analyzing fertilizers; about $70,- 00 was received from seles of farm pro- ducts. In addition the office of experi- mental stations had an appropriation of about $30,000 during the past fiscal year. The value of additions to equipments for the stations in 1896 wag nearly $149,000. The stations employ 58# persons in the work of administration and inquiry. At 266 stations officers do more*or less teaching in the colleges with which the stations are connected. The press. bulletin lists aggre- gate about 1,000,000 cepies. The report states that a great weakness was found last year in the fact that the administration comes under a shifting man- agement, the cause being that the gover- nors of the states appoint the boards, which, of course, are not permanent. The Necessities in Alaska. In regard to establishing an experimental station in Alaska the repert says that the $5,000 appropriated by the last Congress was used to inspect the eountry from its southern boundary as farmorth as Unalas- ka. The report of Dr. W: H. Evans, who was one of the inspectors,has not yet been submitted~ Dr. Sheldon Jackson was’ de- tafled to examine into the capabilities of the Yukon valley. ‘The sum of $15,000 addi- tional is asked for, for investigating the agricultural -resources and capabilities of the country. It is believed that the Hatch act has requirements which cannot be met under the present Alaskan conditions. On account of the unsettled condition of the Population it would make it exceedingly aifficult for local authorities to maintain an experimental station, and the work must first Ke done by the general government. The immediate supervision of the Secretary of Agriculture is needed, it is stated. During the year thirty-nine documents, aggregating nearly 3,000 pages, were issued. The eighth volume of the experimental sta- tion record was compiled. It contains 1210 Fages, being abstracts of 340 bulletins and sixty-two annual reports of fifty-three ex- perimental: stations in the United States, ninety-two publications of the Department of Agriculture and 702 reports of fureign investigations. Distribution of Sugar Beet Seed. This office took part in the distribution of sugar beet seed made iast spring. This was done ‘by ‘arranging with the esperi- mental stations in different parts of the the seeds ‘sent from the department, to analyze samples of beets, and to report the results for publication. Close relations are sustained between the office and the agri- cultural colleges which ure coanected with the experimental stations. The director of institutions In Germany, France, Switzer- land, Belgium, Holland, England und Can- ada, and also attended. the Association of It is thought by the director that a ood showing should be ‘made by the office at the Paris exposition, in 1900. At the recent convention of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Sta- tions, held {i Minnesota,.a committee was appointed to confer with the - department with instructions to further the prepara- tion of the co-operative station at the Paris exposition, if sultable arrangements could be.made to insure the success of the enterprise. The Nutrition Investigation. The agricultural experimental stations co-operated in the, nutrition” investigation. The cooking of cereals and ather food ma- terials and thelr. effect upon digestion were noted. The data are meager from the fact that there is need for numerous other ex- periments. for Congress having provided for the continu- ance of the nutrition investigation during the present year, arrangements have been made foe. -it on in accordance with hitherto followed.

Chief Justice Bingham, however, would not so agree, for the reasons above stated, but he stated that if the woman would consent to leave the United States for England he would release her when sat- isfled that she has secured her passage and will sail immediately after her release. The court took occasion to say that the woman was properly convicted, and that she was very fortunate in that the v. of the watch stolen reduced the penalty from a term in the penitentiary to one in jail. The woman's attorneys stated that she will leave the country at once upon her release, and the court remanded her to jail, there to remain until her passage across the Atlantic is secured.

Story at Variance With the Court’s Memory of ‘Things. Good clothes and a bath, perhaps, would have done wonders, so far as uppearances are concerned, for George Davis, who stood at the rail of the Police Court dock accused of vagrancy. Davis is a man per- haps sixty years of-age, with snow white hair and a military goatee. “He was begging last night on 9th street,” stated Policeman Gover. “In my presence he accosted two pedestrians.” In the most emphatic terms Davis denied the accusation. He hi just bought a lunch, he said, and pai@-for it. Therefore he had no reason to beg. He would not tell an untruth, he declared, for anything. “Did you ever tell a Ne to me?” asked the court. Davis was confused. He hesitated, and finally stammered that perhaps he might have sald in the past some things that were not exactly correct. “Yes,” the court remarked, “you have stood in that very dock and denied begging when you had asked money from me the previous evening on Pennsylvania avenue.” ‘The prisoner was silent. “When were you ever known to work?” the court next inquired. worked last Thursday.” ‘It must have been under very strange ini ment itedly said Davis. * back, coat ek, Gare dee, bale about that appeal. Right through that HARVEY WHITTON’S ARREST Former Washington Boy Apprehended for Marder in a Nevada Town. Alleged to Have Been in Part Re- sponsible forthe Death of a Deputy Sherif. Information has been received here of the arrest near Eiko, Nev., several days ago of a young man nemed Harvey Whitton, who formerly lived in this city. He is ac- cused of compticity in the killing of Deputy Sheriff Allen cf Bozeman, Mon., about eight 2.0nths ago, as published in The Star at the ‘tim Whitton, who is now about twenty years old, went west about four years ago, and found employment near Bozeman, Mont. He also made the acquaintance of a Colo- rado man named Morgan, and they became clese friendz. In January of this year Mor- gan was wanted by the authorities on charges of having been a principal in “hold- f Franshaw were cndeavoring to ™make the arrest that the former was killed. When Morgan first learned that the au- thorities were after him he fied to the home oy 4 man named Carpenter, and there, it is alleged, he was joined by Whitton.” The latter rode zhead of the officers to notify his friend of their coming, when he learned that they had kim located. The Fatal Shot Fired. Arriving at Carpenter's Franshaw stepped toward the house, while Allen remained to hitch the horses. Carpenter opened the dcor. Then a man standing at the side decor with Carpenter's shotgun loaded with buckshot pulled up and covered Allen, about fifty feet away. Allen cocked his shotgun, and probably detecting an effort to kill him, attempied to fire, when the gun snapped. The man fired ‘and Alien fell. The sheriff ran to the side of the cabin, but was there confronted with the muzzles of two guns. He retreated in a zigzag course to a clump of bushes. Severa! shots were fired at him, but none took effect. Morgan and Whitton, for such the men proved to be, then rode off. Franshaw had reached a canyon some distance away, when he saw Morgan com- irg towerd him, looking about and moving his revolver from right to left. Franshaw took careful aim and was about to fire at Morgan when Whitton came up from the rear, and, drawing a bead on him, exclaimed: “You shoot and I'll shoot.” He pressed his gun to Franshaw’s back and said to Morgan hall I kill him?’ “No,” said Morea armed man. He ought tend the man we shot.’ Both men hurriglly left the ranch, and Franshaw hastened to the cabin and looked after Allen. Sheriff in Pursuit. Sheriff Haines of the adjoining county and several posses started in pursuit across the country after the fugitives. Morgan and Whitton had about four hours’ start. The trackers had a light fall of snow to aid them in their pursuit of the men, who flcd toward the mountains, but they never caucht sight of them. Whitton went from there to Elko and seemed to be under the impression that the officers had abandoned the search for him. It is stated that he will be tried at the pr ent term of the court.

Agitation Follows the Denth of Player Von Gammon, A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga., says: Gammon, one of the players on the Int- versity of Georgia foot ball team, is deal from the effects of injuries received in a game between that team and the team from the University of Virginia, played in Atlanta Friday afternoon. Gammon was unconscious after a scrimmage at the be ginning of tne second half, and never re- gained his senses after that time. H> was an admirable athlete and one of the star players of the team. His death has stirred prejudice against the game, and the members of the sza!2 legislature, which is now in session, ave opposed to any further games by the mem- bers of the university. A number of leg! lators expressed themselves today as bit- terly opposed to the game, and it is prob. able that a bill will be passed in a few days making it a misdemeanor to engage in a game of foot ball in this state. The faculty of the university has decti that the team shall play no more gam, this year, and will prohibit it in the fu- ture. pe CARRIED VALUABLE BAGGAGE. Two Men Take $4,000,000 in Bonds » Across the Continent. In order to facilitate the settlement of the estate of the late James G. Fair, the executors recently obtained an order of ccurt permitting the transfer of $4,000,000 in bonds from New York to San Francisc>.

A special to the New York Journal from Scranton, Pa. yesterday says: When the burning caverns of the Von Storch mine had ben cooled by floods of water @ rescue party entered the slope, fought its way through the suffocating fumes and clambered over the smoldering coal to the spot where its members expect- ed to find the dead bodies of seven men entombed in the subterranean furnace. The leader of the courageous band went shouting through the darkness, listening to hear what he feared he would not—the voice of a living man. Down, down the rescuers went, taking their lives in their hands from falling ledges at every step; down 2,500 feet from the mouth of the slope. The leader paused and commanded every man to stand still and be silent. As they halted they thought they heard the slow buzzing of a hand fan. The leader shouted “Hello!” and as his voice echoed through the black corridors out of the darkness staggered a solitary man, black, emaciated, hollow-eyed, exhausted. He cragged himself to the feet qf his rescuers and sank down. jt was Joseph Yomkaskl, & Pole, the only survivor of the fearful disaster. A Through fifteen mortal Kours this man been grinding the handle of a mine hand fan, with the broken pipe of the ma- chine in his mouth, while the roar of the fires above and around him came to his ears. Yomkaski had fought his way through the black damp to this spot. He had shouted to his six companions to follow him. He had heard their cries as they sank down to die; he had paused to re- ceive the dying message of a comrade to his wife and children, and then he had crawled wildly to the machine which he knew would prolong his life. He had felt the black damp creeping around him, and had left his work for a moment to drag @ miner's box to the machine. He pushed j this box up to the fan, covered himself and the machine with it, and pumped the oxygen into his clogged lungs, and worked and waited for fifteen hours —soo TEMPERANCE sv NDAY. Plan for Co-Operation in Securin Its Universal Observance. Christian temperance pecple have sought to establish an annual temperance Sunday to be universally observed. The movement criginated in the London Sunday School Union, and has been taken up by leading Sunday school workers of America. It has the Indorsement of bishops and clergymen of nearly every denomination. The international lesson committee has placed the fourth quarterly temperance lesson on the date of Universal Temperance Sunday, November 28. In order that Sun- day school workers may profitably observe the day, th» district superintendent of tem- perance in the Sunday schools, under the Jurisdiction of the Woman's Christian Tem- perance Union, desires the co-operation of Sunday school superintendents, and asks that ikey at once appoint a temperance secretary in each school, and that these will meet and confer upon measures to arouse the ycuth to the need of their co- operation in this war against the liquor Uaffic and inform them of its dargers. By this united effort to interest the chil- dren in temperance work it is believed many homes will be reached, which other- wise might not be. Temperance secretaries appointed by Sunday school superinten- dents are invited to send their addresses to P. M. Mitchell, district superintendent, No. 20 M street northwest, at once. a GUNNING SEASON OPEN. Maryland Counties Offer Good Ficlds for Game. The gunning season in Prince George's and Montgomery counties, Md., opened to- day. Owing to the strict law in Prince George's, requiring non-resident hunters to take out a license at a cost of $25, but few, if any, sportsmen from this city were in the county, so far as known, but quite a number took the early trains for Mont- somery county, where there is no law re- stricting non-residents, Partridges are said to be in abundance in Prince George's county within a radius of five miles from Hyattsville. The Hyatts- ville Fish and Game Association put out some fourteen dozen birds last year, and these are said to have increased largely in number. The members of the association are out in full force today. They are hunting not only for birds, but for non-resident sports- men, and if any are caught the full limit of the law will be given them.
