on the side of the state when
this afternoon there were
addition to Attorney General Post
~nd Assistant Attorney .General
;Oaesar Roberts, R. S. Morrison and
T. M. Patterson, whose sp-
in the case was entered after
formal opening of the proceedings this
~ternoon. Representing tile petition-
railroads were Wlllard Teller,
E. Cast, C. E, Herrington, It.
Dubbs and C. W. Waterman.
'As preliminary t() the argument on
for a change of venue to Atop-
:Shoe county, Attorney General Post
filed with the court a demurrer pro-
in the first instance against as-
of jurisdiction in the case by
District Court of Pueblo and de-
to the proceedings on five sep-
arate grounds. In the first place, on
the grounds that the court has no

James B. Orman, governor
Colorado, since the governor is
a party respondent in his official
eapaeity; finally, in general
i~erms that the writ does not state suf-
~lieient cause for action.
Attorney Morrison alined the argu-
ment for the state on the motion for a
change of venue, eontending for the
e21egations set up in the motion filed
last Saturday. Judge Dixon speedily
~ade it cleat" that under the law his
~View was that the question of change
venue depended on construction of
statutes permitting the brin#ng of
mandamus proceedings in a ccunty in
Which the whole 9r a part of the cause
-of action arose. Judge Dixon then
upon counsel to enter into the
the personal attendance of the re-
spondent officers under the bill would
probably not be required.
Senator Patterson was emered as of
counsel for the state, and after paying
a tribute to Pueblo county entered up-
on discussion of the points involved.
He read the statute to show that the
alleged failure of the state officers to
act as a board of equalization was the
cause of action and that was neces-
sarily confined to Arapaho.e county.
He urged the right of the state officers
to the change asked. Attorney General
Post followed out the same line of m'-
gument and then C. W. Waterman of
counsel for the Denver & I'do Grande
railroad replied to the attorneys for
the state. His contention was that the
cause of action is in Pueblo county
since the meeting of the ~State Board
of Equalization in Denver is only pre-
liminary to the filing of assf~ssment
rolls for railroads in the various coun-
ties. Mr. Waterman entered at length
into the law, after which Willard Tel-
ler reinforced the position taken by
Mr. Waterman. Attorney General
Post made a brief closing statement
for the state and Judge Dixon an-
nounced that he would take the matter
under advisement until to-morrow
morning.
In making this iannouneement Judge
Dixon said the application for a
change of venue seemed either like a
decided reflection upon the Pueblo
court or like a great compliment to
the Arapahoe county court. He said
the case before him involves matters
of greatst moment to all the people of
the state and that an action to test the
revenue law, which is the purpose of
this proceeding, might in one way or
another be filed in any or every coun-
ty in the state.

DERFUL GROWTH OF OUR
AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS
Washington, July 9.--Frank H.
/tltcheoek, chief of the foreign market
section of the Agricultural Department,
has compiled statistics showing the
distribution of the agrieultural ex-
Ports of the United States for the years
1896-1900. He shows that there were
a dozen countries in~:[900 to each of
Which the United Sta~es exported over
$10,000,000 worth of domestic products.
The United I~ingdom purchased $408,-
000.000 and Germany $134,000,000
Worth.
Onr agricultural exports to the Unlt-
~'~d Kingdom were the largest on rec-
ord, excepting those of the extraordin.
dry year of 1898,. when a value of
$439,000,000 was attained.
In our trade with Germany, the ex-
Ports f6r 1900 were decidedly in excess
Of any previously reported, and show
an increase of nearly 100 per cent. in
the five yeats period.
Next in order to the above named
ii Countries in 1900 were the following:
The Netherlands, $52,000,000, these
" figures being exceeded only in 1899 by
1~ than $1,000,000; France, $45,000,-
000; Belgium, $33,000,000, as against
$31,000,000 in 1896:to France, and $18,-
000,000 to Belgium during the same
Italy, $24,000,000; Canada, $21,,
; Japan, over $15,000,000; Den-
~ark, nearly $15,000,000; Cuba, $14,.
~v00,000, as against $4,000,000 in 1896;
8Pain, $10,500,000, as against a trifle
less than $10,000,000 in 1806; British
Africa, $10,300,000.
Exports ranging in value from $5,,
555,000 down went to more than a
dozen other different countries.
The total exports of domestic farm
Products to Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii
and the Philippine islands in 1900 bad
an aggregate value of over $20,000,000
fie compared with 0nly $6,200,000 in
1896.
South An|erica was the only conti-
nent to which our agricultural exports
for the .past five years show a decline--
from $11,236,000 in 1896, to $9,452,000
in 1900.
The most striking gain was iu our
exports to Asia, rising front $5,735,000
in !896 to nearly $23,000,000 in 1900.
The principal part of our agricultural
exports in 1900 found a market in Eu-
rope, sales to European countries hav-
ing an aggregate value of $739,0(D,000.
With the exception of the phenomenal
year 1898, when thdy reached $762,000,-
000, these figures are the largest on
record. In 1896 they were $503,000,000.
To the vaxiou~ North American coun-
tries the exports in 1900 were $55,000,-
000; in 1899, $58,000,000, and in 1896,
$44,OOO,OOO.
The ten principal items in our agri-
cultural exports trade for 1900 were:
Breadstuffs .............. $262,744,078
Cotton ................... 242,98~978
Meat products ........... 173,751,471

' About half the trade In breadstuffs In
1900 ~ent to the United Kingdom,
with Germany next at $32,029,000. Of
the raw cotton, $90,267,000 went to the
United Kingdom, $64,395.000 to Ger-
many, and $D7,776,000 to France.

Denver, July 9.--Judge Mullins was
called upon yesterday to pass upon a
question of law defining the Jurisdie-
tlon of civil and military authority.
June 3d last iI. C. Ayres, a civilian,

turned over to the civil altthorities by
the commandant of-the post. His trial
came up in the \vest side court, and af-
ter an argument on a technical point of

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
~lk~$ l~ural Free Delivery,
tThere is a strong probability that
during the coming fiscal year the mon-
ey order system will be incorporated in
the rural free delivery service, and that
carriers on rural routes will be permit-
ted to issue money orders, the same as
postmasters at duly autilorized offices.
An attem,pt was nmde to have this ex-
tension consununated during the pres-
ent year, but the pressure for the es-
itabltshment of new routes was so
great that little time was left for con-
sideration of improvements in the ser-
vice. There has been some fear lest
this new provision might be a little
too progressive at this time, but the de-
partment is about convinced that the
change can be made safely, and to the
benefit of the people living along rural
routes. The change, if adopted, will
not be made at once, probably not be-
tore next winter, but it is sure to come.
The forthcoming report of the post-
i master general will show that the cost
of maintaining rural free delivery has
i materially lessened d nring the current
flseal year. This decrease is largely
due to two causes; the discontinuance
of a larger percentage of fourth-class
postoffices than heretofore, and the cor-
responding discontinuance of star
routes which supplied the same. In
previous years the fourth assistant
postmaster general, acting under more
or less pressure from the different
fourth-class postmasters, has been re-
~nctant about discontinuing fourth-class
offices whose patrons were served by
rural carriers. Thus the department
had to support not only the rural ser-
vice, but the postoffice as well. In like
manner, in the interest of the carriers,
the seoond assistant postmaster goner.
al did not favor the discontinuance of
~tar routes, even when supplanted by
rural free delivery.
Since that time, however, tile post-
master general has talked the whole
~ubject over with his assistants, and
from the beglnn!ng of tlTe current fiscal
Fear the two reluctant officials have
ziven in and have consented to
the prompt discontinuance of fourth-
~'lass offices and star routes, when ask-
~-I for by the rural free delivery set=
rice. There will l)e a large saving to
the department as a result of this
~hange. It seems ttmt the rural free
~lelivery is the latest innovation in pos-
~al circles, and tim older lines of ser-
vice are jealous of the universal popu-
larity which has marked the spread
9f the rural service.
Rural free delivery has come to stay.
On the 1st of July, 18,99. there were
some 1,200 routes in operation in the
United States. That was an increase
of 900 over the year previous. It is es-
timated that on July 1st next, there
will be in the neighborhood of 4.300
rural routes in operation in the Unit-
ed States. In'addition to th'Ts it ts said
that this rural serviee is much faster
approaching the state of self-suste-
nance than did the city free dell'very
when inaugurated back in the '60s. It
is not contended that It will ever be-
come self-supportlng, for it is not be-
lieved that postal service will lever sus-
tain itself, but it is a fact pointed to
with pride that there are now a num-
ber of rural free delivery routes in the
thickly settled communities that are
now being operated at a marked profit.
The service is now pretty thoroughly
established in the East. It shows a
greater proportionate gain in the West
than elsewhere, and its limitation in
those states is only because of many
sparsely settled sections which cannot
support the service.

Rear Admiral Bradford, chairman of
the boar(]~of equipment, will point out
in his annual report, says a Herald
dispatch from Washington, tile neces-
sity of equipping American men-of-
war with a system of wireless teleg-
raphy. As soon as the appropriation
ts obtained he will recommend the sys-
tem ¢o be adopted for the naval ser-
vice. Believing that Commander
Richard Clover, naval attache in Lon-
don, is deeply occupied with his cur-
rent work, the rear admiral has rec-
ommended to Secretary Long that a
wireless telegraph expert be sent to
England ¢o represent the navy in the
trials of the two new systems devel-
oped by the Lloyds agency. Having
made arrangements for the establish-
ment of coal depots on the New Eng-

cated at San Diego, California. In-

Mery at Honolulu to begin condemna-
tion proceedings at Pearl Harbor,

Postmaster General Smith-has ren.
dered a decision covering a large num-
ber of complaints that ha~,~ been made
tO the department from v" arious parts
of the country against certain mail
carriers in the rural free delivery ser-
vice who have under their general priv-
ilege of nmking purchases for patrons
along their routes been buying whis-
ky in quarts and pints and delivering
it. The postmaster general's order is
very positive in forbidding this prac-
tice, and the rural free delivery car-
rier who hereafter violates this rule
will be subject to instant dismissal
from the service. Postmaster General
Smith expresses his belief In the duty
~f tile government to provide rural
free delivery nnd to allow cert~fln car-
riers to make themselves useful and
cohvenient as possible consistent with
good morals and the proper perform-
ance of their duty as mail carriers

Glass, though proverbially brittle,
will ~tand any amount of hard usage;
but once it is broken the only thing
that remains to be done ts to throw it
away. Cementing will not do much
good. If the stem of a wine glass or
vase is broken mending is sometimes
possible by applying to the joints some
easily fusible cement, such as shellac.
through a silver tube.
Glass that has been properly an-
nealed will stand variations of tem-
perature perfectly well, but if this
hasn't been done it is likely to break
instantly and without apparent rea-
son.
Frequently globes and chimneys fly

This is due to draught or moisture

been extinguished.
Glass vases used for flowers fie-
quently become coated with an un-
pleasant deposit in the inaccessible
parts of the inside. This Is due to de-
cayed stems of flowers that are left too
long in the water. This deposit may
be removed by cleaning with a cloth
that has been dipped in pumice stone
powder. Cane, if beaten fiat with a
hammer and dipped into the powder,
makes an excellent brush and holds
the pumice stone in position between
the fibres.

2,219,847 tons of sugar, which was 141,-
779 tons more than we ate the year
before. This does not mean only that

purposes in summer houses, on the
walls of doorways,and to make cool
looking cosey corners, says the New
York Times. The Japanese carvings in
wood are used for more ehborate
summer houses as wed as for elty
apartments. These carvings are won-
derfully inexpensive, conside~ing their
beauty and the work in them. A deep
piece which will fit into the toI~ of a
small doorway costs only $9. There is
an interesting design of dragons in it
in fine workmanship.

White of six eggs. Six tablespoon-

brick of Ice cream. A thin sheet of
sponge cake. Make a meringue of the
egg whites and the sugar, cover a

sponge cake, turn the ice crd~tm on.the
cake (which should extend one-haT
inch beyond the cream), cover with
meringue and sp~'ead smoothly. Place
on the oven grate and brown quickly.
The board, paper, cake and meringue
are poor conductors of heat, and pre-
vent the cream from melting. SlID
IS LETTER WEITI~G A BORE?
"I sometimes wish," said the woman,
"that there was no such thing as let-
ter writing. Maybe it was all right
when it was still an art, but now it is
all wrong. When a woman is happy
she is usually too busy to write letters.
but when the world is all awry. then
she will sit down and relieve her mind
by pouring out her feelings In ink
and send the result to some member of
her family or some confidential friend.
It is all right, and I wouldn't begrudge
any one the comfort found in writing
the letter, but she should never send it.
Man proposes--and the glrl sen~
hlm around ~co papa to see if ~r"
.'~oses. sW I"
Usually the sorrow is of such short
duration that by the time the letter has
traveled to the other end of the route
the woman l~ in capital spirits again.
But the letter is doing its perfect
work in may, tug some one else mis-
erable, When the comforting, sym-
pathetic answer comes, the original
perpetrator has to think for a moment
before she can tell what it means."--
