the discharge of their duties adds greatly to their efficiency. It Is gratifying to be able to state that the Improvement In the tervice following closely upon the steady process In expediting the publication of reports has enabled the Department of State this year to submit the annual reports a' month In advance of the usual time and to make them as nearly as possible a contemporaneous picture of the trade cf the worU." The President concurs in the secretary's recommendation for the printing of additional copies of the publication. Secretary Hay's tetter follows; "Mr. Iresldent In accordance with Section 2iX of the Revised Statutes. I have the honor to transmit the commercial relations of the United States with foreign countries during the year laou, beln? the annual and other reports of a comprehensive character from the consular officers, together with similar reports from come of the diplomatic officers on the industries . and commerce of foreign countries. These reports were prepared under special Instructions from this department with the object of laying before Congress, with the least delay, a. practically contemporaneous statement of trade, not only of the United States with the rest of the world, but of the various countries with each other. This object, I am happy to be able to say, has been accomplished, the f.ate of transmission to Congress this year having been advanced over the usual time by a month and realizing the utmost conditions of promptitude compatible with a proper analysis of the latest returns for the year lyju. So gratifying a result indicates continued improvement In the activity and zeal of our consular officers, as well as In the system of publishing and distributing their reports. - "It may be said. Indeed, that, while a variety of propositions have been under discussion for the improvement of the consular service, the service has to a very considerable extent Improved itself, and is winning frequent expressions of commendation from butiness Interests which have received substantial aid. not only from the published reports, but also from tue Individual efforts of consular, officers to meet the growing requirements of American Industry and enterprise. The practical character of the commercial information obtained by our consuls and the celerity with which it is given to the public continues to excite the emulation of foreign governments, and during the past year steps have been taken by both Great Britain and Germany to engraft these features of our consular work upon their consular systems. The general conclusion to be drawn Irorn a survey of the conditions in foreign countries, as described In the reports herewith presented, is that the United States Is aproaching, even more swiftly than was expected, a position of eminence in tho world's markets, due to superior quality and greater cheapness of many lines of its manufactures, which must work great economic changes and may result in shifting the center, not only of industrial but of commercial activity and the money power of the world to our marts. The trade indications of American supremacy during the past year have been so marked that many foreign Industries, according to the reports of our consuls in Europe, are introducing American machinery and laborsaving appliances and remodeling their factory methods, and we may expect, in the near future, a more strenuous competition, for which it is important we should prepare ourselves. As an aid to Euch equipment the study of the great mass of Information as to foreign industries and trade conditions which is to be found in the two volumes of 'Commercial Relations will obviously prove roost useful to cur manufacturers and exporters, and I therefore recommend that Congress be required to authorize, as was done last year, the printing of a special edition of 10,000 copies of. the 'Review of the World's Commerce and 5.000 of 'Commecial Relations." "
Comments of the London Times, LONDON, Jan.' 2D. -The Times, in an editorial dealing with an "important and perplexing question of true significance." the excess In value regularly exhibited by England's imports over her exports, especially looking to the fact that during the last three and a half years the United States have exported over JJOO.OuO.OOO more merchandise, gold and silver than they Imported says: "It Is not easy, yet it is a matter of the utmost moment, to ascertain whether as a nation we are still saving and living within our incomes or whether we are beginning to live on the accumulated savings of former times. If the latter Is correct, the outlook Is distinctly disquieting for the country's commercial future. Considering that some three-fourths of the American excess exports have come to this country It Is very desirable to get accurate and definite statistics as to our invisible exports Mr. Gage has thrown out this Idea of ascertaining the movements of, securities between the two countries. It Is all the more Important for England, and the suggestions of a financier of Mr. Gage's experience should not be lightly set aside as impracticable." IS BEHALF OF IXDIAMAXS.

Congress Slnst Ennct Philippine Laws and Consider Cuban Confutation. WASHINGTON. Jan. 2U.-At Ihe Cabinet meeting to-day such Information a.i was at hand bearing upon the provisions of the Cuban Constitution, was discussed at length and the opinion was expressed that the completed document would reach Washington about Feb. 15 when It will be placed before Congress. It is known that the President regards prompt action in this matter as of very great importance and would , not hesitate to call Congress together In ejttra session to consider it, should it appear necessary. The need for prompt action on the Spooner Philippine bill Is regarded as scarcely less urgent than the disposition of tne Cuban Constitution, and the statement is made on high authority that in the event of the failure of these measures to receive the consideration of Congress an extra session Is almost inevitable. A Foolish Proposition. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. Senator Hoar to-day presented the petition of the American Humanitarian and Education-il Society and the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, asking for legislation to prevent the further shipment of American horses and mules from American ports to the British army in South Africa.

The Senate finance committee yesterday considered an amendment to the revenue reduction act, to provide for the removal of the tax upon transactions upon exchanges where transfers actually occur. This is done at the request of the Produce Exchange dealing largely in farm p;r, ducts. I is said the amendment will be reported to-day. The House committee on military affairs has acted favorably on bills providing that the time of an officer's leave of absence shall date from arrival in the United States end not from the time the leave is granted, and authorizing a monument commemorating the Indian battle of Massacre Hilt. -In Wyoming, in which several hundred troops lost their lives. The Navy Department has decided to omit certain articles of equipment and supplies from the specifications for the new battleships, contracts for which hav not yet been awarded. It was decided yesterday to make the same omissions in tho specifications for the protected cruisers, bids for which are to be opened on Feb. I. This will make a slight reduction in the cost '.of all the vessels In question. The special House committee on the St. I.culs exposition has postponed final action on the bill to appropriate 13.0O0.0u0 for the exposition until Friday, by which time It Is expected that .the secretary of tho treasury will have been able to certify officially to tne fact that the citizens of St. Louis have raised the HO.uuO.O which was to be a condition precedent to the appropilatlort of the $5,0oo,0i by Confess. It iS stated at the quartermaster general's office that out of a total cf sixty remains of soldiers and citizens recently received at San Francisco from China on transports, forty bodies have been claimed by relatives and will be sent to their homes for private Interment at government expenye.

The subject matter of this dispatch was handled from New York. The Associated Press Is Informed by Mllo B. Stevens &. Co. that the papers destroyed were private records and included no applications, affidavits or other evidence sent them by their clients. The interruption to their business was very slight. By a vote of 10 to 5 the House committee on Judiciary yesterday adopted a resolution that Representative Richardson, of Alabama, should draw salary from Aug. C, IDyO, the date of his election to succeed Gen. Joe Wheeler. The case has excited some controversy as the authorities have bten divided as to whether Mr. Richardson's pay should date back to the time of General Wheeler's . . resignation or from March 4, when Congress convened, or from the day of his election. The decision will serve as a precedent. LIKED BY THE CHINESE
AMERICANS ARE APPRECIATED BY THE YELLOW BAIlBAItrAXS. Consul General Good now Says They ItcKnrd President McKinley ns the Greatest Man In the World. MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., Jan. 29.-Consul General Goodnow at a complimentary banquet tendered him by 2Ö0 representative citizens at the West Hotel, this evening, made a brief address upon China and the Chinese. He dwelt largely on the idea that there was a destiny which shaped, the way of the American Republic and that this country's tremendous mission for the advancement of Christianity and civilization was all the easier of accomplishment by reason of the wholly unexpected acquisition of the Philippines. Mr. Goodnow said the American people could hardly appreciate what great military prestige resulted from the battle of Manila. "We stand in a better position toward, and In happier relations With the Chinese people to-day than does any other nation," said Mr. Goodnow. The Chinese people realize, that America wants no territory, wants nothing excepting the open door in commerce, and fair and Just treatment to foreigners alike. The Chinese people are an Intelligent and discerning people and fully appreciate the great benefits resulting In maintenance of American missions and of American mission hospitals. They care nothing for our Chinese exclusion act, and they regard President McKinley as the greatest man in the world so far as disposition and ability to shape the affairs of China are concerned." An Informer Behended. SEATTLE. Wash., Jan. 29. Advices from the Orient brought by tho United States transport AraD give a remarkable story of vengeance meted out to a Chinese who informed the foreign troops of hidden treasure of $17,000 In a small town twenty miles from Peking.

DIED VERY SUDDENLY
THE RCV. HIGH It. HAWKIS, A AOTED ENGLISH PREACHER. He routjlit vrltli Garibaldi and Wns a Famous Lecturer Death of Count Gonrko. Defender of Shtnka. LONDON. Jan. 29. Rev. Hugh Reginald Haweis died suddenly this afternoon. He preached twice on the subject of Queen Victoria on Sunday, was stricken with illness on Monday, became unconscious and remained so throughout the day. Hugh Reginald Haweis was born at Egham, Surrey, the son of the Rev. J. O. W. Haweis, in 1SCS. lie married Mary Eliza, daughter of T. M. Joy, the artist, anc. she like her husband attained considerable celebrity as an author and also is well known as a portrait painter. Mr. Haweis was educated at Cambridge, from wh.ch he received his Master of Arts degree. He traveled in Italy and participated in Garibaldi's campaign. A writer In London Truth many years ago said of him: "Mr. Haweis displayed all the enthusiasm of iwenty-two for the cause of Italian unity, and had the honor of taking part in the memorable campaign which insured Its triumph. At the siege of Capua he exposed himself so carelessly that we were several time on the point of losing a good priest. Of course he entertains the warmest admiration for the hero of Marsala, who has the kingly prerogative of enlisting the love and devotion of all who come in contact with him." rveturning from Italy, he was odalned, serving first as curate of St. Peter's, Bethnal Green, and after filling many . other charges, going to St. James, Marylebone, where he remained all the later years of his life. He visited the United States in 18S5, and was prominent In the World's Parliament of Religions at Chicago in 1893. He published many volumes of sermons, several of which ran through enormous and numerous editions. He was widely known as a lecturer and for several years was editor of Cassel Magazine. To quote again from the writer in London Truth: Mr. Haweis was chaplain of the Twentieth Middlesex Rirtes. it is a pity they did not make him their colonel as well. His amusing resignation of his chaplaincy will be fresh in the minds of some of our readers. On one occasion an afternoon parade service, had been arranged for the troops at St. James's, Marylebone. The choir and full staff were in readiness, and Mr. Haweis was in his robes. The streets were lined with people to watch the arrival of the regiment in due military pomp, when an adjutant alone came upon the scene to say that, the weather being showery, the officer in command had decided that the men should not turn out. The church soon filled to repletion with an excited public, and Mr. Haweis. ascending the pulpit, briefly read out the order, and then and there publicly resigned his chaplaincy, saying that he considered it no honor to belong to a regiment which could not march without umbrellas! Whereupon he dismissed the astonished assembly, xie Is in favor of cremation, women's rights and the Sunday opening of museums; also, if I remember rightly, of marriage with a deceased wife's sister; he dislikes vivisection and flogging. In short, he has all tho marks of the genuine Liberal." Funeral of Judge W. J. Allen. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Jan. 29.-The funeral of Judge William J. Allen, which took place this afternoon from St. Faul's Episcopal Procathedral, was one of the most largely attended funerals in the history of Springfield. Services were conducted by Right Rev.

Lieutenant Governor Northcott and other State officers attended in a body. Prominent lawyers from Illinois and federal Judges from various .States were also present. The procession of carriages to Oak Ridge Cemetery was over a mile long. Field 3Iarshal Count Gonrko. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 2D.

He served with distinction in the war with Turkey, 1S77, and was made field marshal for his defense of Shipka pass.
