Our Workmen Sending to Foreign Shores More Than a Million Dollars Worth Daily. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington. D. November 2 The American workman Is contributing more than a million dollars a day to the export trade of the United States. The products of American workshops exported during the nine months ending with September, 1900, amount in value to $338,678,243, or considerably more than an average of one million dollars a day for each day including Sundays and holidays.

Counting only working days the contribution of American workshops and workmen to the export trade of the United States averages a million and a half dollars dally. This grand total of $338,000,000 of exports of manufactures in the nine months ending with September, 1900, is three times as great as in the corresponding months of 1890, and nearly two and a half times as great as in the same months of 1895. 1890 the exports of manufactures in the nine months ending with September amounted to in 1895 they amounted in the corresponding months to $145,793,834, and in the same months of 1900 they were $338,678,243. This shows a gain of $32,000,000 in the Ave years from 1S90 to 1895. and of $192,000,000 in the five years from 1895 to 1900.

Thus the increase In exports of manufactures in the five year period 1895 1900 is six times as great as during the period 1890 95. Every Industry contributes to this vast ag gregation of American manufactures which bring into the United States from other parts of the world more than a million dol lars daily. The various manufactures of Iron and steel exported in the nine months end ing with September last brought to the United States the refined mineral oil exported during, the same period brought copper and manufactures there of, wood and manufactures thereof, leather and manufactures of. Including boots and shoes. $19,870.

691; manufactures of cotton, agricultural Implements, chemicals, drugs and dyes, carriages, cars and other vehicles, paraffin and paraffin wax. paper and man ufactures of, $5,155,915, and manufactures of tobacco, while hundreds of other articles contribute in sums ranging from a cannon dollars downward. TRAMP NUISANCE IN SIBERIA. Years of Transportation Have Deluged the Land With Criminals. From 1807 until 1899 Siberia received from European Russia 864,549 transported persons, including their families.

That is nearly the sixth part of the actual population of Siberia. If we confine ourselves to the last dozen years, we shall see that Siberia has received in that space of time 100,582 transported persons, of whom 95,876 were men and 4,706 were women. Of the families of transported persons there were 155 husbands, 17,556 wives and 40,900 children. Siberia has thus received in the course of twelve years 159,191 individuals, one thirty sixth of the total population. If one takes Into consideration the number of the transported only without their families, we shall see that during that pe.

iod Siberia has received for each 57 inhabitants a criminal or a man recognized as more or less dangerous In the country of his origin. These figures permit us to draw certain Important conclusions. First Transportation does not contribute to the colonization of a country, owing to the great preponaerance oi unmarried persons. Second The number of vicious elements Introduced Into the country passes all reasonable proportion. Of the number of transported males, only 17,556 were married; the other 78,322, or 81 per were unmarried.

These conclusions are completely confirmed by a detailed study of the conditions of transported persons. The number of transported persons residing in Siberia In 1898 was 298,574,. or nearly 300.000 individuals of both sexes. Half of these was under the criminal code, the other half under administrative authority. But they can hardly he distinguished one from the other.

The opprobrium of their situation and the misery of their existence have reduced them to an absolutely uniform mass. The third of this mass, 100,000 men, escape all control. The place of their residence is unknown to the police. They Bteal on the high ways and in villages; they beg and extort money in every way possible. In the summer they bivouac under the stars and conceal themselves in the forests of Siberia; in the winter they move toward the cities and use every method to secure a lodgment In the local prisons.

The second 100,000 men are equally in a state of vagabondage, but they change their residence to find work. If they have not lost the habit of work, and if they preserve some spirit of honesty, they may succeed in establishing themselves again; if not, they soon augment the ranks of criminal vagabonds. Of the 100,000 who are left, about 30,000 are cultivators of the earth and furnish an element of order. It is remarkable that this number corresponds to the number of the transported married persons. The other 70.

000 are workmen. So long as they are young and In good health they gain their dally bread, but when Infirmity comes many of them take to begging and often terminate their existence in prison, which they have avoided until that time.

NUMBER OF ARRESTS MADE Sensational Developments Promised. First Prisoner to Be Held for the Grand Jury. Magistrate Brenner this morning held 'Denis Coleman, alias Denis Kenny, for the action of the Grand Jury on a charge of having illegally registered. Captain Kel ly of Superintendent McCullagh's staff was the principal complainant. The latter is in charge of the corps of McCullagh's work ers in the Tenth Ward in this borough, and he is spending all of his time verifying the registry lists.

There is a hint of much wrongdoing and it is likely that a lot of floaters will be brought to court before election. Lawyer B. H. M. Roehr has charge of the prosecutions of the persons who are charged with illegal registration and he has intimated that there may be sensational de velopments in a day or two.

Already a num ber of arrests have been made, but this is the first case where the prisoner has been held for the Grand Jury. He was represented in court by former Justice Tighe, who waived examination. The charge against Coleman or Kenny is that he registered twice on the last of the four days. The representatives of Superln tendent McCullagh's office say that he went as Denis Kenny to the polling place of the District of the Fourth Ward and had ciils name placed on the voting list as Denis Kenny, aged 37 years, of 223 Fulton street. On that same night, with an amazing hun ger for an opportunity to vote, it is claimed he had himself placed on the list in the Thirteenth District of the Tenth Ward.

There he was registered as Denis Coleman, aged 37 years, of 497 Butler street. The prosecution had in court this morning the poll clerks of both districts and it is claimed that the of ficers of the Superintendent of Elections Bureau were prepared to prove that Kenny and Coleman were the same person. The police are still working on the registry lists and have found in some of the wards that a number of people have either moved away or never lived at the addresses they gave to the poll clerks. Each of the pre clnct commanding officers has Instructed his men on post to make a very carelul examination of the lists and see to it that every man whose name is on the registry is "all right." Much work has been done by the officers, but the investigation is not complete and may not be finished until late to morrow night. There is to be particular and extensive Bcrutlny at the polls on election day and there is every reason to believe that on that day there will be a harvest of arrests, if those whose names are Improperly on the lists insist on voting.

THE DUTY OP EVERT VOTES. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Now that the registry lists have been printed by the Bureau of Elections it may be said to be up to every honest voter to see that illegally registered men, if there be any, are either dealt with according to law or prevented from voting. This can be accomplished very easily If any voter has the inclination. The registry lists are printed by wards; each ward is divided into election districts, and every voter knows in what election district he is registered. Five minutes, at the outside, will convince him as to the integrity of the household in which he lives.

Let him get a copy of the registry list, either from the Elections Bureau or from his district leader, and look over the address given by every registered "voter. If he finds another man registered from the house in which he lives, and he cannot account for that man in that house, he would appear to have a good case of Illegal registration. It Is a very simple thing to do, and would be far more effective than any other method of Inquiry into the integrity of the registry list. A VOTER. Brooklyn, November 2.

1900. ADAMS INTRODUCED THE BILL. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: My attention has been called to an error in the Eagle report of the last meeting of the Brooklyn Woman's Health Protective Association, held Thursday, October 26, in which a letter read by me from Assemblyman J. H. Adams (Democrat) of the Twenty flrst Assembly District of Kings County was credited to John H.

Morgan (Republican) of the First Assembly District. Mr. Morgan has called by attention to the error, and I desire to state that the bill referred to in the letter was one introduced in the last Legislature by Mr. J. H.

Adams, "prohibiting the operation of any car on any street surface railroad in the state during the months of December, January, February and March of any year unless equipped with a vestibule so constructed as to protect the motorman or operator from the elements." The Woman Health Protective Association Is greatly interested in this measure and believes that the public generally Is in favor of some protection to our motormen during the inclement season of the year and will support Mr. Adams if he is able to secure the enactment of some vestibule law during tho coming session of the Legislature. MARY E. CRAIGIE. Brooklyn, November 1900.

THE FILIPINO PUZZLE. The Brooklyn Eagle thinks that "the Fili pinos will be our friends when once they understand our purposes and realize that the freedom which we enjoy at borne will be fully shared by them in their own lands." What evidence has the administration given of an Intention to bestow seir eovernment on the Filipinos? Who is to blame for the fact that the Filipinos do not understand our purpose? If they look across the sea to Porto Rico, they will not find much encouragement for hope of relief from Republican policy. The colony bundle Is badly mixed and it is a pity that such journals as the Eagle do not speak out "man fashion" to their blundering party. Buffalo Times CONEY ISLAND DEMOCRATS. The Democrats of Coney Island had a big turnout last night, and Surf avenue, the Bowery and West Eighth street were ablaze with fireworks.

It was a torchlight procession, and after parading through the streets, they gathered at the Silver Dollar Pavilion, where they listened to speeches by several of the nominees of the district. The Islanders are making a great effort to get out all tho voters, and Election Day will be a busy one at the seaside. OFFICERS' WIVES GO TO MANILA.

I FOR MUNICIPAL GONTROL Association Believes That City Ought to Acquire Water, Gas and Electrical Plants. PRICE SHOULD NOT BE TOO HIGH Indorsement Continued in a Formal Xet ter to George X. Rives, Chairman of Charter Revision Committee. The Chamber of Commerce has Indorsed the plan for municipal water control, and has gone even further to favor the acquisition by the city, if it can be done on fair terms, of the gas and electrical supplies of the city.

This Indorsement is contained in a letter addressed to Chairman George L. Rives of the Charter Revision Commission by the subcommittee of the executive committee of the Chamber of Commerce that was charged with the duty of voicing that body's sentiments regarding charter changes. Other very important suggestions are also made in the letter, which is as follows: George L. Rives, Chairman of Charter Revision Commission, 32 Nassau street. New York City: Dear sir The Chamber of Commerce received in June last your letter without date asking Its opinion concerning the changes to bo suggested by your commission.

This letter was referred by the chamber to its executive committee for reply. The undersigned were appointed a committee from the executive committee to answer your communication above referred to. With the continually increasing growth of urban communities, the character and influence of the government of great cities are sure to be reflected for good or evil in the state and nation. This committee believes that the result of your labors will prove to be an Important contribution to the science of municipal government. Ash's edition of the charter contains 1,090 closely printed legal pages.

The index alone contains 160 pages, and refers to and seems to regulate between 7,000 and 8,000 subjects or divisions of subjects connected with the municipal government of New York. It assumes to regulate how wajl paper shall be put on, how kites shall be flown, the kind of birds that shall be killed, regulations as to the skinning of certain dead animals, bone burning, and numberless other provisions equally irrelevant with which to hamper the charter of a great city. All such detailed subjects should be regulated by a local assembly, whose existing powers should be enlarged, with the added responsibility of making laws affecting purely local interests, and thus avoid the necessity of going to Albany for such detailed legislation. This committee are of the opinion that your commission, instead of trying to amend this voluminous document, should wipe the Whole thing out; that you should then de clare plainly, and as concisely as possible, me iunuamentai principles which should govern a great municipality like New York. Then the charter should be accompanied by a series of bills in conformity with its provisions.

This, of course, would involve immense labor, the necessary result of which must be the codifying of all the laws relat ing to the government of Greater New York. This committee are aware that your an swer to the suggestion of a new charter in place of amending the existing one would very properly be that you are obliged by law to report in uecemDer next, ana that the suggestion referred to would he impossible to execute on account or want of time. Then, again, your committee are serving without compensation, and have not sufficient means at your disposal to provide compensation for tne codification suggested by us. This com mittee are of the opinion, further, that you should report such measures as are of immediate and pressing necessity, and that you snouia asK ror more time ana for an ap propriatlon from the Legislature to allow you to retain a sufficient number of expert lawyers, who, under your conduct and su pervision, should prepare the bills regulating the government of Greater New York In accordance with the fundamental limits and provisions which you should provide for in the charter suggested. The charter provides that all existing laws inconsistent witn the charter shall be repealed, and that such laws as are not in consistent with the charter shall remain in force.

Lawyers of high standing represent to us that this necessary provision involves almost insuperable difficulties, and would require months of investigation in order to find out what is consistent and what Is Inconsistent with the revised charter. It seems probable to this committee that the work of the Charter Revision Commission is likely to stand for a great number of years; and hence It Is of the last importance that its work should he complete and exhaustive. It is far better that we should live another year under the existing charter rather than accept a revised charter which is not completely revised. We trust no apology need be offered to the learned and eminent men who framed the charter for the suggestion that its errors are attributable to the limitation of time imposed by the Legislature. You will remember that the Charter Commission declined the urgent request of the Bar Association, the Chamber of Commerce and other civic bodies for thirty days' time to study the proposed charter, which was pasaed in undue haste at Albany, with no adequate discussion and investigation, and little or no knowledge of its contents on the part oi our legislators.

Not one in ten had even read it "The foregoing deals In general principles. It remains to consider the questions concerning which you ask the opinion of the chamber. "First, aB to the Mayor's term ot office and power of removal This committee believes the Mayor's term of office should be for four years, and that he shou.d have power during his term of office to remove the head of any department as absolutely as the president of a bank would remove a clerk whom he considered Incompetent, and that he should be Ineligible for re election. "Second, the legislative department This committee believes that there be only one local assembly, and that any resident of the City of New York should be eligible for membership In the assembly, without limitation as to residence, if district representation be provided. "Third, as to municipal ownership This committee believes that the city should own its water supply, and that it should acquire, if it can be done on fair terms, the gas and electrical supplies oi the city.

The experience of municipal governments in Great Britain abundantly, proves that suoh ownership has tended to the public welfare. "Fourth, as to the Department of Education Under the administration of Mayor Strong there was an immense improvement in this department, and if we could go back to the efficient management of the department under the late Mayor, many of the complained of could be remedied. It is evident, however, that it should be adapted to tho requirements of Greater New York, and some amendments are necessary in this regard. "Fifth, the Board of Estimate and Appor tionment It must be conceded that this boaid has for years past done good work. It Is dangerous to tamper with Its powers and organization.

Possibly, a veto power of Its appropriations should be lodged with the Mayor but not with the local assembly. "Sixth, taxes and assessments This department requires a thorough overhauling. The Inequality of taxation, which Is so apparent, is a monstrous wrong, as has been abundantly demonstrated. In some instances the taxation of real estate amounts to confiscation of all annual revenues, and should have a investigation and report by a competent committee before final action is taken. "Seventh, Police Department This committee believes that there should be but one head, and with honest administration of that department, we see no great clanger In a separate Bureau of Elections, which we understand must bo bi partisan.

"Eighth, Board of Public Improvements This committee Is Informed and believes, that this department, in its relations with the boroughs, is very complex. It requires, under the existing charter, so many references to tho various departments, before any Improvement can be undertaken, in tho smaller boroughs especially, as to render the system almost unworkable by reason of inevitable delays The, want of local responsibility and a anct Saturday, 5.25 and Saturday, Sewing: Machines, delivered free to of New York City. STREET, N. Y. POCKET AND PATRIOTISM.

In Peaceable Times They Go Together Says Senator Depew McKinley Eulogized. Wolcott, N. November 2 Senator De pew's first speech to day was at this place. It was a noisy, patriotic crowd. The Senator said: "It's nearly over.

We are on the rising tide for protection, sound money and for keeping what we have. Now, Mr. Bryan, who recently left the state left behind him a lurid streak of oratory in which he said that we are the most discontented people in the world. Tho trouble with him was that as he went up and down this great state and met our farmers and met our business men and saw our industries and mills and saw new mills going up and then said there was no prosperity, he didn't know what he was talking about, or if he did he talked in a way that Presidents of the United States are not accustomed to when they speak the truth. "In peaceable times pocket and patriotism go together.

That statesman is not fit to be a representative in Congress and that President is not fit to enjoy the presidential chair who will not promote measures that will enlarge the pockets of the people, because the pocket represents comfort, represents the home and represents happiness. The pocket represents the mortgage paid off the farm or represents the home which the workman can secure for his independence. It represents comfort, represents children at school and church, going on being well supported and the bright boys going to the colleges and the bright girls going to universities for better education, to make their careers greater than that in which their fathers and mothers are engaged. So we stand in this country for the pocket. We stand in this canvass, believing the principles which we represent have made the farmer's pocket fuller than It was three years ago.

We stand for the poek et believing that in these industries which have sprung up and these old ones which have revived, tbat the business man is working for a profit and in workiif for a profit he is giving employment to those who did not have it before, and therefore an empty pocket has been full during the last three years of McKinley's administration." Walllngton, N. November 2 The crowd which was addressed here by Senator Depew to day was composed chiefly of farmers who had driven in from the country. They listened to the Senator from their wagons and buggies. Having spoken of the prosperity for the past few years Senator Depew said: "I have known people who wanted to get rid of measles. That is natural, but Mr.

Bryan is the only man I ever saw who wanted to get rid of prosperity. Mr. Bryan is fond of telling what he would do if he were President. The President of this country Is not czar, nor is he like one of old who smote the rock from which gushed waters. Mr.

Bryan might hit that rock and make it produce gas. but it would not be merchantable gas. Mr. Bryan is also fond of calling McKinley emperor. I have seen many crown; heads and princes.

The latter grow In bunches in Europe like radishes here and I want to say McKinley is the poorest specimen of an emperor or czar or prince I ever saw. But he is the highest type of Amexi can I ever knew." AN ARTISTS' COLONY. Huntington, L. November 2 Grant Hamilton, who is the head ot the corps ot artists on the illustrated weekly. Judge, and who originated "The Full Dinner Pail" cartoon which has been so generally used during the present campaign, has purchased a tract of land at East Neck, overlooking the Sound.

and is having foundations la.id for a colonial house about 50 feet square. Mr. Hamiltpn Is to reside here the year round. His property adjoins that of A. S.

Daggy, who is also an artist whose pictures brighten the pages ot Judge. QUEENS BOROUGH. Treasurer Bacon of the Queens Nassau Agricultural Society believes that the society will realize about $6,000 from the fair held this season. Mrs. Dlsbrow and Miss Jennie DlBbrow of Brooklyn are the quests of Mr.

and Mrs. William Haft of Richmond' Hill. William Furman of Jamaica, with Frank Place of Elmhurst and Charles P. Brooks of Manhattan, Is on a fortnight's cruise up the Sound to shoot ducks. Mr.

and family of Richmond Hill will remove to Brooklyn the early part of next week. A LARGE CLASS CONFIRMED. Jamaica, L. November 2 Bishop McDonnell of Brooklyn confirmed a class of over sixty young people at St. Mary's German Catholic Church, in Jamaica, yesterday afternoon.

The church was crowded with parishioners and the Bishop was assisted by the Rev. Fathers Ernst of Woodhaven, Dotzauer of Queens, Fitzgerald, Zeller and Zlmmer of Jamaica, and Ruhle of Brooklyn. The services were of a very solemn and Impressive character. This Is the first class that has been confirmed in this church In four years. ANNUAL TARGET EXCURSION.

BRYAN INTERPRETS BRYA3T. The Brooklyn Eagle, one of the leading Democratic papers of the East, cannot see Its way clear to support Bryan. It dissects him In the following lucid manner: "Mr. Bryan is his own best interpreter. No speaker or writer In his interest has done to him the Justice which he does to himself.

Every time he turns himself Inside out he increases the marvel of why an.y party ever tnougnt ot mm ror President and the reason why this nation should give him that office. There is cause for sorrow oh behalf of the men forced or deluded to his advocacy. He toucnes nothing ialrly and smuts with the dirt of demagogy everything which he directly handles. There is such a manifest sophistry of mind and savagery of heat In what he says that the conclusion Is compelled that what he says he Is. and what he Is should never be Invested with the sober and solemn duties of the presidency of the United States.

Many' have feared the bad sort of men he would bring around him if elected. Everv hour increases the belief that the worst he could bring around him would be better than himself." Kittaning Press THE STJNELOWER TRADE. Seeds Are a Considerable Commercial Asset in Europe. The sunflower, once the symbol of the aesthetic craze. Is now a commercial asset.

It Is a valuable commodity in Russia, Hun gary and Austria, and tho tact prompts the question: Is there hope for the distressed British agriculturist In Its cultivation? Many tons of the seed are imported here, and attempts have been made to produce the home grown article. But the climate ob stinately refuses to assist In producing a sunflower crop that can bo grown and sold at a profit. The flower Itself, however, is responsible for part of the failure It takes too much out of the land, consequently only few acres under sunflower cultivation are to be found In England acres useless for anything else except thistles or weeds; and the seeds are for the benefit of the owner's pheasants. Russia sends by far the largest numoer of tons of sunflower seeds. They arc made Into food for cakes for cattle, and something very little Is done with tho oil extracted from them for medicinal purposes.

A large trade In the seeds la also done with South Africa from London. No one seems to know what thoy are wanted for there, but it la suaDected that, the natives eat them, as the poorer Russians do, and esteem them a luxury. London Express.

PORTRAITS IN CAMEO. Chicago Claims the Only Artist Now Resident in America A Swede by Birth. Chicago claims the only portrait cameo cutter In the United States. There may be other cameo cutters, but portrait cameo cut ting Is as far beyond ordinary cameo cutting as is portrait painting beyond photography. It is an art in itself.

The only portrait cameo cutter is A. Hylen, a native of Sweden, where he learned the art of engraving on metal, which is the basic art of cameo cutting. He learned cameo cutting in Vienna. Like other fine arts, cameo cut ting requires infinite patience, beside artistic sense, and It was not until Mr. Hylen had worked for something like forty years that he considered himself a competent portrait cameo cutter.

Cameo cutting Is one of the oldest fine arts. It probably originated In India, but was carried thence to Egypt, where It flour ished before the time oi Moses. It was carried from Egypt to Persia. In those early days it Is believed that the art ot cutting precious stones was a part of the literature of the times rather than a means of expressing the artist's sense of the beautiful, and it was not until the art was taken up by the Greeks that it attained that perfection which has since distinguished it. With the decline of the Roman Empire it became a lost art, but was revived in the Renaissance and became more prominent than ever.

Up to that time the art had been one of en graving on precious stones, but the artists of the later period not only discovered that it was possible to cut pictures and portraits In sheli, but they carried it to such perfec tion that shells are now universally employed for the finest work. The shells used are the large conch shells found In the Bahama Islands. Only one or two pieces of shell suitable for cameos can be cut from one conch. The pieces are ground to an oval surface and then are examined for flaws and bad coloring. II the least flaw Is discovered or a color which would destroy the value of the cameo the piece is rejected.

If the surface shows pure white the cameo cutter sketches an outline of his portrait or figure on the surface and then examines the thickness of the white part. He removes the superfluous parts ot the white surface outside of his outline, and then gradually works out his design, taking care to work uniformly so he can compare his figure with the photograph from which he works. The work is so trying on the eyes that the most powerful magnifying glasses must be used, and even then the cutter can work only ten or fifteen minutes at a time. After those short intervals of application he has to rest his eyes for an hour before taking up the work again. Considering the slowness of the process and the long time required tor the artist to become competent Tor his work.

It is easy to understand why genuine cameos are expensive. Many fraudulent cameos are made in Europe and sold in this country as genuine. Most of them are made of opaque glass, which Is cemented to a background of onyx or other stone. Ivory Is sometimes used In the making of spurious cameos, but it soon becomes yellow.

SERVANTS' PAY IN MANY LANDS. Scales of Wages Which Rule in England and Elsewhere. On all sides complaints loud and deep are heard as to the scarcity ot servants, and various remedies, more or less practical, have been suggested for the alleviation of the housewife's trouble. The Importation of Chinese servants has been suggested, but this seems an lmproba ble solution of the difficulty. Of course the trouble really arises from the extraordinary spread of education during the last few years and the preference of young women to enter a more independent sphere ot action in shops and houses of business tnan to conune themselves to the cut and dried rules of domestic service.

In England It may be taken that the average wages of ft general servant are about ilb a year, sometimes more, sometimes less, but this seoms a fair price to pay. In France a "bonno a tout faire" expects $60 a year, and a German "ruaga" a like sum. In Russia, Sweden, Denmark and Norway the average may be put down at a year, and a like amount is a fair estimate for Italy. In Switzerland, owing, perhaps, to the enormous floating hotel population, the price rises to f80, but then Switzerland Is naught else but one gigantic hotel for the convenience of travelers. In the United Statos a good general servant expects $160 a year, and in Canada about $126.

In both Instances these sums may be offered freely without obtaining any response, because the same circumstances exist in those countries as everywhere else that is to say, the desire for greater Independence and a growing dislike tc domestic service. The highest wages are paid in Uape colony, where a white woman, unless well paid, considers It beneath her dignity to accept any inferior post. In Natal the average wage is only slightly lower, $250 a year being a fair figure. Here, again, the Zulus, in domestic service outnumber the white servants by fifty to on Philadelphia North.
