Importations Into the Colo- nies Treble in’' Ten ¢ Years e g ) Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Nov.-15.—The grow- ing importance of South 'Africa-as a market for products of the United States is illustrated by some figures just received by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics. They show that the importations into Cape Colony, Natal, Delagoa .Bay and Beira amounted last year to more: than $150,000,000, or nearly treble the total for a decade earlier. ¢ These figures are published by.the Brit- ish South African Export Gazette. They show that the imports of Cape Colony in 1901 were $104,220,000; those of Natal, $46,- 500,000; Delagoa Bay, $993,374, and Beira, $2,037,088; making a total of - $153,760,462. This is a marked increase over the im- ports of the preceding year. and is two and a half times as much as the total for 1892, a decade earlier, the figures being: For 1892, $61,653,000; 1895, $82,648,000; 1800, $115,336,000, and 1901, as already Indicated, $163,750,462. Of this total importation into :South Africa, $98,916000 was from .the United Kingdom, $23,037,000 from British colonies $12,848,000 from the United States, $5,441,000 from - Germany. Comparing 1901 with 1900 the total increase has been very large, the figures for 1900 being $115,536,000, against $153,750,462 for 1901. Of this increase of $38,000,000, $27,- 000,000 was in the imports from the United Kingdom, $,465,000 from British posses- sions and protectorates, §1,962,000 from Germany, and $1,601,000 from the United States, showing that Germany made a larger gain in its exports to South Africa during the year than did the United States. The United States, it will be observed, occupies second rank in tne list of coun- tries supplying South Africa, the largest figure being the United Kingdom, $98,916,~ 000; the next largest, the United States, $12,848,000; Victoria, $5,444,000; and Ger- many, $5,441,000. An aralysis of the imports into South Africa by countries shows that the growth has been very rapid, and espe- clally so in imports from the United States, the figures, stated in pounds ster- iing, being: From the United States, £418,126 in 1892 and £2,640,193 in 1891; from Germany, £231,172 in 1882 and £1,118,010 in 1901; from the United Kingdom, £10,118,- 837 in 1892 and £20,326,006 m 1901 The rapid growth in imports into South Africa from the United States and the extremely rapid growth in the consuming power of Africa adds interest to the latest statistics of trade of the United States with Africa. These figures show that for the eight months ending with August, 1902, our total exports to Africa as a whole were $22,469,572, against $17,707,186 in the correspondihg months of 1901 and $14,- 597,337 in the corresponding months of 1900.

President Mitchell Regrets -Miners Did Not Ask for More. SCRANTON, Pa., Nov. 15—The coal strike commission resumed its session to- day. After a few preliminaries President Mitchell, who was on the stand all day yesterday, again’ went into the witness box, and his cross-examination by David ‘Willcox, general counsel of the Delaware and Hudson Company, was continued. Some of the attorneys connected with the case are of the opinion that some ar- rangement will have'to be agreed upon to expedite the proceedings. Each side is anxious for a speedy.ending of the hear- ing; but this will be impossible if the present plans of .the contending parties dre carried out. The miners have a large number of witnesses to be heard, and the attorneys for each of the local com- panies are anxious . to .cross-examine them. After the miners have closed their case the companles will also present a Icng line of persons to testify, and it is the intention of the lawyers on the min- ers’ side to cross-examine the witnesses for the companies. . Immediately after the opening of the morning session 'Chairman Gray for the commission addresse@ John T. Lenahan; one of the attorneys for the non-union men. At yesterday’'s, sesslon Lenahan said he represented theé non-union men who worked during the strike, and he wanted to know what their status would be before the commission. Judge Gray said the commission could not give a de- cision until after it had carefully consid- ered the matter, and promised Sore sort of an answer to-day. This morning the chairman said: NON-UNIONISTS’' CASE. “The commission has considered the matter of your application and has de- cided that it will ask you to submit to them a stutement showing whom you rep- resent, by what authority, what points other than those already at issue between the formal partles to this controversy you wish to inject into this hearing and a concise statement of what you claim or what your position is in regard to the general propositions between the formal and logical parties to this commission, and also state that you guarantee sub- mission to the award of this commission.” After Judge Gray's announcement to the attorney for the non-union men, Wil- cox resumed his cross-examination of Mitchell. Answering a question by Wil- cox, Mitchell said that the local unions or mass meetings may direct the opera- tions of districts. Wilcox then read from a statement made by President Gompers of the Federation of Labor at the Chi- cago trust conference in September, 1899, in which Gompers is alleged to have said that any trust legislatdon which did not specially exempt organized labor from its operations would meet the unquestioned opposition of all the labor forces, and ask- ed the witness if that expressed his views, Mitchell replied that organized labor would not look with favor upon any law that would legislate them out of business. Mitcheéll, answering further questions, said he regarded ‘s living wages for a miner not Tess than $600 per annum, which would cover all his a¢tual necessities and permit him to edtcate his children. Will- cox examined Mitchell at some length re- garding the various demands of the min- ers. “Do you knew the wages that are paid are about $60,000,000?"" Willcox asked. “I have read that statement,” the wit- ness answered. “Don’t you or your committees know it?” inquired Willcox. MINERS WANTED MORE. “No, sir; we don’t,” responded Mitchell, In reply to another question, Mitchell said that if the miners had known at the outset that the differences ‘would go to a board of arbitration they would have ask- ed for more, so that while the arbitrators were settling the question they would set- tle it right. Mitchell denied that Lis organization restricted the quantity of work a man should perform, but said it did believe in regulating the hours of work. Judge Gray asked: “If I blast and throw down enough coal to employ three labdrers to load and you only throw down enough to employ two, am I not to be allowed to employ the third laborer?” Mitchell replied: “You would not be, because your laborers could not all work in the samé place. You should have to work at two different breasts to do that and as you weuld have to comply with the law of Pennsylvania in looking after the safety of your laborers, you can only do_that by being with them and working with them.” Commissioner Watkins followed by ask- ing Mitchell if the union permitted a min- er to employ three laborers. “The organization is opposed,” said Mitchell, “to miners employing more than one laborer. It is not the execution of any well defined policy. It is simply a regulation that the miners of the anthracite field find necessary to protect themselves against favoritism and against one man going out and hiring a lot of laborers and bringing them in and having them work for him.” METHODS OF PAYMENT. In reply to a question as to whether he Delieved that all miners should be paid by the day rather than by the car or ton, Mitchell said he did not know whether it would be practical. Here followed a long line of questions on the paying of wages by the ton. The miners’ leader said that every miner should be paid for every pound of merchantable coal produced by him. Mitchell dented any knowledge of the organjzation having begun a strike becanse of the employment of non-union men, but he had heard that local unions had suspended work on this account. He had no personal views to offer on the sub- ject of members of the union joining the National Guard, but he felt that they should exercise the same rights and privi- leges that every oné else does in that re- spect. pwhen ‘Willeox concluded his ecross-ex- amination the witness was questioned by ‘Wayne MacVeagh, representing the Penn- sylvania Coal Company and the Hillside Coal and Iron Company. MacVeagh said ‘to Mitchell that he did not wish to have him suppose that he (MacVeagh) was op- posed to the proper organization of labor. He thought that where there are large corporations as employers it may be to the interests of the employer that they ' should be organized. MacVeagh added that the gentlemen represented knew they were not infallible, and that in the man- agement of their property they might have made mistakes. MacVeagh held Mitchell down to an exact statement of the grievances which the miners had against the companies represented by him. ‘Mitchell stated these to be that the com- panies have failed to pay wages suffi- clently, high; that they have failed to es- tablish conditions of employment that were fair; that they have a wrong sys- tem of measuring the earnings of the miners and that their opposition to the treatment of the men as organized men had not been for the best. MacVeagh repeated the demand for a 20 per cent increase over the wages paid NO ENCROACHING, Y SURVEYORS Geodetic Officials Deny Story Sent From ; Victoria. ‘British Government Well Un- derstands the Boun- dary Case, P07 L R S ‘WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—The officials of the Coast. and Geodetic Survey, the Government bureau having béen in charge of the surveys made by the United States in Alaska, pronounced as fncorrect the report attributed to a Victoria, B. C., newspaper that encroachments have been made by an American surveyor on British territory in the neighborhood of Portland canal. They say that none of their surveyors have recently been engaged in a survey of the country; that when the American engineers were engaged there they were accompanied by and incorporated with engineer representatives of the British Government, and that whatever monu- ments were erected were erected for the purpose of making trigonometrical points located in connection with their triangu- i lation work, it being the universal cus- tom of surveyors to leave such marks wherever they operate. They also call attention to the fact that their surveyors could do nothing toward asserting the sovereignty of the United States, and also to the fact that they were in that country for the purpose of running lines, and not for the purpose of fixing boundaries, that branch of the work being necessarily left to diplomatic officials. They attribute this report and others like it to a spirit of retaliation on the part of the Canadians for statements of a similar character made on the other side of the controversy by Americans. Speaking of the story of monuments re- ported to have beea found along the line of Portiand canal recently by Americans, they say that the piles of stone spoken of were placed there years ago by a naval or military surveying party sent out under an act of Congress. They were originally small stone houses used mostly as ware- houses, and their existence has been known from the first to the English au- thorities, who already have made repre- sentations to this Government concerning them. The Geodetic Survey authorities also state that, so far as their knowledge goes, no boundary monuments were in- herited by us from the Russians. It is suggested at the State Department that the inconclusive quest of Lieutenant Emmons last summer after mythical Rus- slan boundary stones may be the founda- tion of the report from Victoria, for it is stated positively here that nothing in the nature of an international boundary line has been drawn in that section, and in fact no attempt has been made to do this in recent years. As far back as 1878 Secretary Evarts drew up a modus vivend! with the Brit- ish Government to temporarily regulate the administration of justice and custom collections in this section of the bound- ary. A line was drawn between the two highest peaks on a range about fifteen miles above the mouth of the Stickeen River, which it was agreed should con- stitute a conditional boundary line be- tween the two countries. That line has jremained as a boundary up to the pres- ent moment and in fact the conditions there are precisely the same as expressed in tHe White Pass, the Chilkat Pass and in the Klanha Valley, where the limits of Alaskan and of British Columbia jurls- diction stand defined until some perm- anent arrangement is made. @ il bl @ before the strike and asked Mitchell if he really knew what thuse wages were. Mitchell answered that he did in a gen- eral way, but that he would have to ex- amine the scale from the mine and this he did not have in front of him. “But you are not now prepared to ask for an increase of those -wages,” said MacVeagh, ““because you don’t know what the present wages are.” Mitchell's reply was that he was pre- pared to ask for the increase, even ;ll';uugh he did not have the tables before m. At the afternoon session MacVeagh con- tinued to cross-examine Mitchell, confin- ing his querles to the conditions prevailing at the collieries of the two companies MacVeagh represented. President Mitch- ell could not give the average wages paid to workmen generally throughout the United States and MacVeagh added: “Then you are not competent to tell the commission on what you base a fair estimate of the standard of living except in a sentimental way?” “I think I am,” replied Mitchell, MacVeagh asked numerous questions re- garding the wages earned by other work- men, such as farm laborers. Turning to the question of who were to carry the burden of the increase of coal if an advance was granted, Mitchell, in reply to MacVeagh, said he had nothing to do with that. “Who Is to- stand for this increased cost? Don't you think the poor would be the real sufferers?” MacVeagh asked, “I suppose the operators will make the poor stand for it. We are not responsible for that.” . The commission adjourned until Mon- day, with Mitchell still on the stand. ADVERTISEMENTS. AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE Has it ever been your unhappy lot to be told by your physician’that you must go to a hospital and submit to an opera- tion? If so, you remember with what dread and ‘shrinking you awai the day when you must endure the knife. The present day surgeon appears to :be. pos- sessed of a mania for operating, -especial- ly in cases of hemorrhoids or piles, and ‘while the greater number of the profession do not recommend this “last resort” un- less they honestly believe it necessary, the fact remains that much needless ope- rating is done and the patient put to much expense and suffering for what? To obtain a possible temporary relief; these words are used advisedly, because in nine cases out of ten the affliction returns and the patient is just where he started from. Oftentimes he could be cured much more simply and easily by the use of such a remedy as the Pyramid Pile Cure; this has come to be recognized as the best remedy on the market for the painful dis- ease named and the druggists now sell more of it than all other pile remedies combined. The writer personally knows people who were afficted with the worst form of bleeding and protruding piles and ‘who were permanently cured by the use of Pyramid Pile Cure. In every one of these cases the attending physician had assured the sufferer that only by an ope- ration could he rid himself of the dis- ease; so much for the infallibility of the doctors. This remedy, which is sold by all druggists at the low price of 30 cents, is in suppository form, ‘is applied directly to the affected and performs its work quietly and painlessly. The Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich., will mail free to any address a book telling all about plles or hemorrhoids, their cause and cure.

Beyond the general statement that the conference related to Cuban reciprocity and the other matters included in the Platt amendment it was impossible to extract any information as to what took place. It is known that no conclusive step has been taken within the last few days. ‘Reports from Cuba are to the effect that the Cubans are divided upon the ques- tion of reciprocity, especially as regards the concessions demanded and offered. The Cuban Senate is, reported to be fa- vorable to the treaty as offered with a few minor changes, and theré is no doubt expressed that the Senate will accept the treaty when it is amended by General Bliss, who has gone to Havana to assist in preparing a treaty. There is trouble in the Cuban House, which seems in- clined to act independently of the United States. General Bliss will present definite prop-. ositions from this Government. He will. state the extreme concession which the United States will grant, which is 20 per cent on Cuban products, and also will give the Cubans the lowest possible rates of concessions which this country will de- mand of Cuba. It is expected that Gen- eral Bliss will endeavor to close up the negotiations speedily and that after his propositions are made but a very short time will be allowed the Cubans to reply before the negotiations will terminate.
