Prince Sesseri, a nephew of the king of Siam, has been serving for some time ns a private pupil in the engineering works of the northwest ern railroad company at (lateshead, England, in order that he may leurn »II about locomotive building. It is stated on good authority that the orange-orchard area at Riverside, California, covers thirty square miles, or 19,200 acres, on which are growing 1,000 orange trees. The money value of the crop approximates $0,000,- 000 annually, or about SO7O for each man, woman and child in the district. The tablet in memory of the sol diers of 1812, which Secretary Root and Col. Mills have allowed the Kin pire State society of the daughters of 1812 to place in the West Point chapel, is of black marble with gilt lettering and will be the second of i's kind to be placed in the chapel Ly a patriotic society. According to the state labor Com missioner. the canning industry of Maine is more important and valuable than the slate, granite, and ice indus tries combined, the value of the out put of the 175 canneries in t lie state lieing $5,000,000 annually. In ordi nary years, $.'!50,000 is paid to farm ers for sweet corn alone. An extraordinary ease is presented in that of .John A. Kasson, of lowa, "the special reciprocity commissioner of tlic United States, who has de clined to accept any future compen sation for the duties performed by him, because none of the treaties negotiated became effective. This is one of the few cases of this kind on record. A collection of blotting papers in the possession of an Amercan citi zen is estimated to be of great value. Each sheet contains the blotted im ,pression of the handwriting of a presi dent. and all the chiefs of the repub lic since 1841 are represented. One it-lieet is that on which President Lin coln blotted a letter on the day of Lis murder. The world's population of Moham medans numbers very nearly 200,000.- •000. Of these, 18,000,000 are under the .rule of the Turkish government. 000,000 arc ruled by other Mussul man sovereigns, 30,500,000 are subject (to African princes, 20,000,000 live in •China anil 99,000,000 are under Chris tian rulers. Of these last, about sfc,- 'OOO,OOO are under British rule. The supreme court of California, in 'the case of Knos vs. Snyder, iias de tcided, in si contest between next of •Jcin, on the one hand, and claimants under a will on the other hand, for 'the possession of a corpse that a .man can not by will dispose of that (which, after his death, will be his jeorpse. The custody of the corpse and the right of burial belong to the of kin in preference to the ad- Jminist rat or. Whpn wounded in battle horses are attended to as soon as possible. A veterinary officer with an assistant (follows close on the fighting line, and •those animals with only slight inju .ries are collected together and sent .to the veterinary hospitals estab lished at the fixed camps. Those very 'badly wounded are shot. Horses jiulled in battle are either buried or •burned, according to the climate, in iSouth Africa they are left to rot. * There are 7.400 members of the iNew York police force for all the "boroughs—7,3Cß to be exact. The number of arrests made by the New York police last year was 1M5,875, or sin average of between eighteen and twenty for each policeman. The city of New York includes 2,508 miles of streets, of which more than 700 are .in the borough of Queens and require (little patroling, and 28. No man could, a generation ngo, h:i\e foreseen the extraordinary tri umphs to-day achieved by America in the world of commerce. We stand now first among the nations in the value of exports. Twenty-five years ago, in the output of domestic prod ucts, fireat Britain stood first, with $1,087,000,000, followed by France, with $747,000,000; Germany, with $007,000,000, and the united States, with $497,000,000. The standing of these nations, in 1900, is as follows: The United States, $1,453,000,000; (ireat Britatin and Ire land, $1,418,000,000; Germany, $1,050,- 000,000; France, $787,000,000. It is thus seen that the United States, which, a generation ago, was fourth, is now first among exporting coun tries, Great Britain becomes second; France, from second place, falls to the fourth, and Germany remains third. The gains of the four nations are 192 per cent, for the United States, :i4 per cent, for Great Britain and Ireland, 73 per cent, lor Germany and 7 per cent, for France. No other nation comes anywhere near France as an exporter. In 25 years we have tripled the value of our animal exportations. This splendid transformation is due to republican policy and statesman ship, which even under temporary de feat has ever remained faithful to American principles and purposes. In its tariff and monetary measures, republican statesmanship lias consult ed the best interests of our people. It has given us sound money and built up every industry in the land. We have to-day the best financial system on earth, the highest measure of prosperity, the soundest credit and brightest future before any coun try in the world.—Cincinnati Commer cial Tribune. (r?Tt appears that the statement that the Cuban constitutional con vention declared against the Piatt proposition is not true, subsequent action indicating a purpose to consult the president in regard to the mat ter. This action indicates that the majority of tlv; convention is more discreet than som > of the American patriots who would cause the Cubans to believe that greater independence than any state in the United States enjoys is not good enough for Cuba. The residents of Cuba who have busi ness or industrial interests are arx ious for such close relations with the United States as will insure quiet and security.- Indianapolis Journal. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 9. 1901. FREE TRADERS TAKE NOTICE. I ndcr Protection Thin Conntr*- la Fast llpcoiuiiiit' tlic Ciinnnrrcial Mnslcr of tlie World, The agitation in favor of the adop • tion of a revenue tariff with several strong- protective features is a means of providing: 'lie money needed to pay ! (treat Britain's lioer war debt con tinues, and the protectionists are now i strengthened by the support of the. i London Times, the most powerful newspaper in England, and the Daily Mail, which is influential because of its large circulation. These two news papers are opposing l a further in i crease in the income taxes as a means of meeting the present financial cri ■ sis. There is something in this for free traders to think about seriously. ' England is now in practically the • same situation the United States oc cupied when it was trying to get 1 nfßney witli which to prosecute the , war against rebellion, and later when it was confronted by a war debt of practically $3,000,000,000. The repub lican protective policy was adopted I at the beginning of the civil war and it was maintained during all the ■ subsequent years up to 1594, when ■ the enormous war debt was being re duced. Not only did protection serve , to provide the revenues needed to • meet the burden imposed by the . prosecution of the civil war, but it j encouraged and built up Ihe indus- I tries that have given this country . first place in the fight for the mar i i kefs of the world. - j During- all the years that the I'nit • j ed States was reaping the benefits ; |of protection Ihe manufacturers of i j England, aided by a strong minority i of the American people, were doing • their utmost to break down the pro tective wall and open our markets , to an invasion by foreign-made goods. Xow the conditions are practically . reversed. This country is fast be- I coming - the commercial master of the world, and England, confronted by . an enormous war debt, finds her for . eign trade dwindling and is begin . ning to feel the effects of domestii ■ industrial depression. I here was never a bette/ oppor tunity for the protectionists to make i headway in England, and they are : likely to take full advantage of the i opportunity. Whether or not the » prospective change in the fiscal pol i icy of the British government will be injurious to the T'nited Slates re . mains to be seen.—Cleveland Leader. BUSINESS AND POLITICS.
