Prior to the year 1891 the ship ments of American corn to foreign _ , ~ countries were IncronNliiK ( orn nniin p or t a nt, Kxports. .. .... amounting 111 that year to only 30,000,000 bushels, of the value of $17,000,000, in total exports of 3900,000,000. Since the great increase in the foreign commerce of the Unit ted States, say.s an official report, there lias been au extensive and almost phenomenal increase in the foreign market, for American corn. The fig ures for the three fiscal years are: 3899, 174,089,488 bushels; 1900, 209,- 348,284 bushels; 1901 (to date), 177,- M7,9<>5 bushels. The value of the ex ports of American corn to foreign countries was $82,000,000 last year, and the shipments were 80,000,000 bushels to Great Britain, 37,000,000 bushels to Germany, 4.500,000 bushels to France, 41,000,000 bushels to other European countries, 10,650,000 bush els to Canada, and to British North American provinces; 1,500,000 bushels to Mexico, 1,500,000 bushels to Cuba (the exports of American corn to Cuba have almost tripled in three years), 825,000 bushels to Africa. 785,- 000 bushels to the West Indian islands (exclusive of Cuba and Porto Rico), and the balance to Central American and South American states and to Asia. There is practically little ex portation of American corn to either South America or Australia, but oth er countries are steadily increasing their demand for this important American cereal, which is as distinct ively an agricultural product of Ihe United States as is cotton. Various reasons have been assigned from time to time by persons claiming famil iarity with the subject to explain why "American corn is not popular abroad," but the prosaic fact is that it is not only very popular, but is in creasing in amount each year, the number of countries which furnish markets for American corn being larger each year. In the month of June, 1901, the shipments of American corn footed up nearly 10,000,000 bush els, of which 3,000,000 went to Ger many. Some conclusions as to the law of genius are derived for the Popular , Science Monthly by The Trnita of J Mr. llavelock Kllis (■eniiis. from the study of 859 men and 43 women of note in Britain. They may be thus summar ized: "The upper and middle classes are rich in geniuses. The country and small towns produce genius more often than cities, and the clergy fa ther the most distinguished children. Geniuses tend to come of large fam ilies, to be the children of elderly parents, to be precocious, feeble in health in early life, but fairly long lived. They have usually excellent education; a large proportion travel extensively in early years. There is among- geniuses a tendency to re main unmarried, to marry late in life or to contract sterile marriages. Per sons of unusual intellect arc often subject to gout, asthma or angina pectoris (nervous diseases), to stam mering, melancholy or insanity." Mr. Kllis finds that men of one gift, are so frequently lacking in all other gifts that they are more nearly allied to the idiotic than to the insane. In sanity, observes the New York World, is not so much a condition of genius as its frequent penalty. An inher itance favorable to genius is cited in the case of William Morris, who re ceived from his mother a strong con jstitution, from his father a nervous, gouty strain. "The mistake usually made," says Mr. Kllis, "is to exag gerate the insane character of such a fermentative element, and at the same time to ignore the element of sane and robust vigor which is equal ly essential to any high degree of genius." People who are dainty are some times said to have only the appetite of a canary bird. Hut a scientific skeptic recently resolved to find out just what the appetite of a canary bird is. He weighed a canary and found it weighed 247 grains, or some thing over half an ounce. He a~»-o ■weighed all the food, and found that the bird eats 32 limes his weight every month, or actually more than his weight every day. ROOSEVELT'S WOLICY. lie Will Advocate Iffoiproclty, Peaee, Prosperity, uud «bo isthmian l am] Project. Buffalo, Sept. 17.—President Roose velt has outlined in some detail the policy he will follow during his in cumbency of office. It will be re membered that when lie took the oath of office he stated with much definite ness: "It shall be my aim -to continue absolutely unbroken the poli'-y of President McKinley for the peace (and he emphasized that word), pros perity and honor of the country." On Sunday the president gathered to gether some friends in Buffalo and those members of the cabinet who ■were here, and pave to them such ideas as he had already formulated for the conduct of public affairs and his own policy. In no sense are they divergent from what has lw»en understood as Mr. Mc- Kinlev's policy. This policy will be for a more liberal and extensive reciprocity in the purchase and sale of commodities, so the over produc tion of this country can Vie satisfac torily disposed of by equitable ar rangements with foreign countries. The abolition entirely of commercial war with other countries and the adoption of reciprocity treaties. The abolition of such tariffs on foreign goods as are no longer needed for revenue, if such abolition can be had without harm to our industries and labor. Direct commercial lines should lie established between the eastern coast of the United States and ports in South America and the Pacific coast ports of Mexico, Central and South America. The encouraging of the merchant marine and the building of ships which shall carry the American flag and be owned by Americans. The building as soon as possible of the isthmian canal, so as to give di rect water communication with the coasts of Central America, South America and Mexico. The construc tion of a cable owneu by the govern ment connecting our mainland with our foreign possessions, notably Ha waii and the Philippines. The use of conciliatory methods of arbitration in all disputes with foreign nations, so as to avoid armed strife. A McKINLEY ARCH. Clilrajroan* Start a Movement for Hiilldlnc a .tleuiorlal Structure ID Washington. Chicago, Sept. 17.—At an informal meeting yesterday of 100 prominent citizens of Chicago a proposition to start a movement for the erection of a magnificent memorial arch for President McKinley at Washington, was made by Alexander 11. Ilevell. The suggestion was universally ap proved. Several gentlemen spoke upon the matter. The proposition was that the president of the United Sates be retpiesed to appoint a com mittee of citizens who shall take charge of the collection of a public fund for the purpose of building such nn arch at Washington. It is further proposed that in the event of favorable action by President Roosevelt, such men as the president, ex-President Cleveland and William J. Bryan become honorary presidents and Lyman .7. (iage, ex-Secretary Cornelius N. Bliss. John J. Mitchell and others become treasurers; also that the governors and mayors of the various states and cities act as local receivers of contributions from the public. THE I. O. O. F. GRAND LODGE. It Bejlnii a IVeelt l ! firanlon In tlie lie tropolls of Indiana. Indianapolis, Sept. 17. —The sover eign grand lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, began a week's con vention in this city Monday. The city is elaborately decorated in honor of the visitors and interwined with (lags and hunting are streamers of black as a token of respect to the late Pres ident McKinley. The delegates were welcomed at Tomlinson hall by Lieut. Gov. (iilbert and responses were made by high officials of the order. At the fair grounds, where the state fair is being held, the Patriarchs Militant are in camp. During the year ending December 31, 1903, there were 173,826 initiations in the order. The net increase in ni< uibership during that year was 65,522 in the subordinate lodges. 5.142 in encampments, 7.102 in ltebekah lodges (brothers) and 17,095 in Re bekah lodges (sisters). The Patri archs Militant increased 299. The total amount spent in relief was £3,- 736,692. Clianxed the Route. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 17.—At Union Pacific headquarters it is announced tnat as a result of the time made by the trains carrying the mail over the country en route from Australia to London, this mail in the future will go by the way of the United States route, instead of by the Suez canal. The mail was carried from San Fran cisco to New York over the Union Pa cific, Burlington and New York Cen tral, and the time from Sydney to London was cut down seven days. .Most la Held Tor Trial. New York, Sept. 17.—John Most was arraigned in police court yester day, charged with publishing an arti cle tending to disturb the public peace. He conducted his own defense. He argued that as the number of the Freiheit in which this article last ap peared was not distributed until Sep tember 6, it could not have inspired the assassination of President. McKin ley. The magistrate held Most in SSOO bail for trial. Were Ulreu a (loyal Welcome. Quebec, Sept. 17.—The Duke and Duchess of Corny-all yesterday made their formal entry into Canada and were given a royal welcome by the people whom they may some day rule as king and queen. Thousands of their loyal subjects assembled to greet them and they are guests in a city that is brilliant with decora tions. In all the festivity of the day, however, there was a stron.ir under current of regret at the assassination of President McKinley and deep root «d sympathy for the Dcreavement of the American peoglc. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1901. A DEADLY CRASH. Mi Persons Klllad nud 25 Injured In a Collision Near Avon, ,?las». Brorkton, Mass., Sept. 19.—A switch not properly set brought q passenger express and a heavy freight train together Wednesday af ternoon, with the resultant deaths of six passengers 011 the express train, and injuries to 25 others, on the main line of the New York, New Ha ven & Hartford railroad at Avon. The express left Boston at 1:08 p. m.and it was running 40 miles an hovtr at the time of the accident. Of the six persons who were killed, but four have been identified and these are: Kverett Joyce, of Brockton, <>f Joyce & Fletcher, shoe manufactur ers. Gustavus Hay, jr., lawyer, of Bos ton. Miss M. W. Tonkine, of Oil City, Pa., a student at Howard seminary, Bridge water. William .1. Coughlin, real estate dealer of Boston. The two unidentified bodies are those of women, one quite elderly and very large in figure. The other unidentified victim was apparently 28 years old, with light hair, evident ly a Swede. The bodies were taken immediate ly to a freight house nearby, where they were viewed by the medical ex aminer. Of the 25 injured those most seriously hurt were taken to the Brockton hospital on a special train. The accident occurred about 1,000 feet above the Avon station, between two stretches of thicket and by the side of a steep embankment. The express was one minute behind time at. Avon. A freight train of 30 ears laden with granite, coal and gravel had just been made up on a siding and was proceeding south in tiie same di rection as the express. Kngineer Sheldon, of the freight train, figured Hunt he had four minutes to spare to get onto a side track further down. One of his train crew had set the switch of a "cross over" in such a manner that wnen the freight en gine struck it it was turned onto the main track. Kngineer Sheldon did not notice this switch quickiy enough to enable him to stop his train, and. before he released it.the express dashed pa-st on the other track. The engine of the express and the baggage car succeeded in getting by before the freight engine reached the train, but the second ear, the smoker, was struck squarely in the middle and turned over, being thrown down the steep embankment, landing 011 its side in some soft, thick mud. The third car of the train, a passenger coach, was dragged over and likewise landed 011 its side in the ditch. The last car on the train stayed on the track. The collision came with such sud denness that the passengers in the •three cars were thrown with great force from their seats. As the cars were instantly thrown upon their sides, many jwissengers fell upon each other, and those underneath ■were forced through the windows into the mud beneath. The broken seats and the heavy pieces oi timber pinned them down. Many were forced through the windows by the sudden shock. The cylinder on the right side of the freight, engine was torn off anil escaping steam added to the horror. All those who were killed out right seemed to be in the third ear, while most of those who were in jured were in the first car struck by the engine. THEY CLAIM IT IS CRUSHED. Colombian Diplomats nt Washington Assert (bat ilie insurrection Is Prac tically Head. WaKhingtoon, Sept. 19.—The Co lombian legation officials last night expressed the view that the Colom bian insurrection was practically crushed. In support of this state fment they said that the insurgents d'd not hold a single village in all Colombia, although some bands of marauders were giving trouble, and that those on whom the rebel forces had counted for allies were unlikely to give further material aid. Curacoa press advices to the lega tion alleges that many of President Castro's supporters in the interior of Venezuela are protesting against his anti-Colombian aggressiveness. Ac cording to the legation, the defeat! of a Nicaraguan force recently will likely stop further hostile move ments from that quarter. Members of the legation say they understand that the Nicaraguan government has given assurance to the American minister that it would not wage war on Colombia. President Plaza, of Ecuador, who has recently assumed office, has fre quently pledged neutrality toward Colombia. The Colombian minister. Dr. Silva, says that reports he has just received say that the Colombian troops under arms numbered 05,000 last July and that the force since has been considerably augmented. .11 list tilve 820,000 Ball.

Meanwhile Miss Goldman was led oack to the police station. Setli Low la Tticlr Choice.

The Trust tialn* a Rig Victory, na a I.nrte Number oi .TIIIIs time Were I nder Amalgamated'!* Con trol Will Now be Operated uaNon-l nlou Plums New Y.'jrk, Sept. 10. —The great steel strike which began June 30 was brought to an end at a conference held here Saturday between the lead ers of the Amalgamated association and officers of the subsidiary compa nies of the United States Steel Cor poration. Pittsburg, Sept. 1". —Matters per taining to the settlement of tlie steel strike are in a very unsatisfactory state. While the telegraphic notice was sent out Saturday night by Sec retary Williams to all vice presidents declaring the strike at an end, it can not be learned definitely that the of ficial order has been issued by Presi dent Shaffer. Some of the local strik ers declare they have had no such no tice and many of them say they will not return to work, order or no or der, unless they are recognized as union men. What is considered the real condi tions of the settlement, though not officially announced, are that the set tlement was made only for the three companies in dispute—the American Tin Plate, the American Sheet Steel and the American Steel Hoop —and these companies are allowed to retain as non-union all mills started in any kind of shape since the strike order went into effect. The mills that were completely tied up by the strike are to remain union under the Amalga mated scale. Nothing was said con cerning the National Tube, the Fed eral or National Steel companies. The settlement means a big loss to the Amalgamated association, but leaves it still a strong organization. Pittsburg. Sept. 17.—Monday was a ! turbulent day for President Shaffer and the officials of the Amalgamated association. The headquarters of the organization was crowded with strik ers and representatives of lodges where the mills were still idle and workers were awaiting word from the leader regarding the settlement of the strike. The callers at the general offices were all more or less excited and many were deeply incensed. Some of the strikers declared that they would not respect the order calling the strike off until they were given full particulars of the settlement. Others were calling for the resignation of President Shaffer and another class demanded the withdrawal of their lodges from the organization. The tin workers of the Star mill held a meeting during the afternoon and the matter of the strike settle ment was taken up. After the meet ing the men said that they had de cided to remain out and keep up the strike until they heard from Presi dent Shaffer. They added that in case the terms were such as to make the Star mill non-union, they would not return to work and would fight the battle single-handed. The strik ers at the Monongahela plant of the. same company have taken similar ac tion. The American Sheet Steel Co. re ported that the strikers had returned to the idle mills in New Philadelphia, 0.. Piqna. 0.. the Aetna-Standard mills in Mingo Junction and some had asked for worK in the Canal Dover mills. In the first three, they had till started to work. In the Canal Dover works the strikers were not accepted for the present. The #>ill is running partly with non-union men. and for reasons not offered the officials de cided to hold off until Wednesday be fore accepting any of the other men who wanted work. The American Steel lloon Co. re ported the five plan's in Ohio which were idle as a result of the strike as all in operation. These plants includ ed the upper and lower mills in Youngstown and tne plants in War ren, fiirard and Greenville. These plants are all union and will remain so. At the American Sheet Steel Co. it was stated that with the starting of additional union mills on Sunday the company was turning out fully 85 per cent, of the normal tonnage. Before the strikers returned they were get ting out 05 per cent. The actual loss to the company on account of the strike was comparatively small. Pittsburg, Sept. 20. —President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated associ ation, was seen last evening and asked when his looked-for statement would be made. In reply he said it hardly would be issued before Sat urday. The great Riverside works of the National Tube t 0., at Wheeling and Benwood, W. Va., will, according to representatives of the company, re sume operations on Monday. The Riverside works employ upwards of 4,000 men. Kxperts are busy computing the cost of the strike to the steel corpor ation and to the workers. On an estimate that 50,000 men have been thrown idle for two months and a half, their loss approximates $lO,- 000,000. Gross earnings of the con stituent companies have been cut off to the extent, of nearly $15,000,000. It is estimated that the Amalga mated association carried 9,000 of its membership into the strike, and the outcome of the contest has lost recognition for 2,500 of these men. Datea Fixed for the Yacht Knees. New York, Sept. 17.—After a har monious meeting Monday at the New York Yacht club, lasting nearly two hours, between the America's cup challenge committee and the repre sentatives of the Royal Ulster Yacht club, it was decided that as a mark of respect to the memory of the late president the date of th" first race for the America's cup should be chang ed to September 2l>. The succeeding races are to follow according to the original plan, so that they will be sailed September 2r>, October 1, Octo ber 3 and October 5. BIG RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT. A unique excursion was recently arranged by the Union Pacific Railroad company. About sixty newspaper men, the leading journals of the country, were invited to take a trip on the Wyoming di vision, "The Overland Route," for the pur pose of viewing the stupendous engineering achievements recently made on that line. The train was made up of two private cars, three Pullman palace sleepers, a dining car, drawn by one of the new compound en gines, with an observation car —constructed on the same plan as a trolley car—ahead of the engine. One hundred and fifty-eight and four tenths miles of new track laid, reducing the mileage between Omaha and Ogden by 30.4/ miles, and reducing gradients which varied from 1T).4 to 97 .G8 leet to the mile to a maxi mum of 43.3 feet, and curves from 0 to 4 de crees, while a great deal of bad curvature Tuas been eliminated entirely. A mountain removed and lost into a ehasm; huge holes bored hundreds of feet through solid granite, an underground river encountered and overcome; an army of men, with all sorts of mechanical aids, engaged in the work for nearly a year; the great Union Pacific track between Omaha and Ogden made shorter, heavy grades elimi nated, and the business of the great Over land route flowing through a new channel, without the snghtert interruption. Millions of money have been spent to re duce the grades and shorten the distance. This reduction is the result of straighten ing unnecessary curves, and the construc tion <f several cutoffs between Buford and Bear river, Utah. The curvature saved is about one-half, the grading about the same, while the angles are reduced nearly two-thirds. The su periority of these changes is apparent to the practical railroad engineer. It is also ap parent to the operating department in the redaction in operating expenses, and to the traveler in the increased speed the trains can make. The new line runs due west from Buford, avoiding the high hills and eighty-foot grade from Cheyenne, and piercing through cuts and the big tunnel, crosses the Black Hills at a grade of less than one-half (43.3 feet) ov«r mountain altitudes. From a constructive standpoint the line is remarkable for the amount of material required in the construction of immense embankments and the building of large tuiinels through solid rock. The construc tion of the new line between Buford and Laiamie alone has involved the excavation of ;>OO,OOO cubic yards of material, one-third of ivliich (exclusive of the tunnel excava tion) lias been solid rock, of something over ltt(l 000 cubic yards per mile. Too much credit for this work cannot be given to Horace G. Burt, president of the Union Pacific railroad, and his assistants. The excursion was replete with many in teresting incidents, and the splendid hos pitality of the Union Pacific officials was a revelation. The newspaper men evinced their appreciation in many ways, particu larly in a resolution of thanks to the Union Pacitic officials. General Passenger Agent Lomax, and Messrs. Darlow, Park and Griffin.

The most important mail that has left Australia in years for London recently made a rec&rd-breakiug trip. The mail consisted of 347 sacks; aud contained many documents for the British parliament. At Sidney it was put on board the steamer Ventura, a •teamship sailing under the American nag and built only last year for the Oceanic Steamship company at the (.'ramps ship yard in Philadelphia. The trip across the Pacitic occupied just 21 days, the former time having been 20 days. From San Fran cisco the mail was hurried east on special fast trains on the Southern Pacitic (Ogden line), Union Pacific, and Chicago, Burling ton and Quincy railroads, but arrived in Chicago too late to connect with the fast mail train of the Lake Shore and New York Central, which is a 24-hour train from Chi cago to New York. A special train was made up and attached to one of the fastest en gines on the Lake Shore line. The regular train was overtaken at Toledo, and the hour and a half lost time was made up. At Buf falo the regular train was made into two sections by the New York Central with the mail cars, including the Australian mail, in the first section. New York was reached three minutes ahead of schedule time. At New York the mail was delivered to the Campania and that vessel left on regular time. Barring accidents or unusual delays it will be delivered in England in several days shorter time than ever before. I.lfe'a Stupendous Problem*.
