ing his opponents with ease. The session was one of the shortest held In years, and it was marked by only one enthusiastic demonstration-that which greeted Governor Cummine when his name was read in resolutions before the convention. The delegates cheered for several minutes and the governor was forced to make a short speech. Governor Cummins in this speech aligned himself for the campaign with the dominant faction in the party, which has been opposed to him. He declared himself In perfect accord with the address of Congressman W.

P. Hepburn, a leading standpatter, and, as he continued in this harmonious vein, he was accorded cheer after cheer. The resolutions adopted are briel and they include nothing to give of. fense to the Iowa idea minority. They indorse the Chicago national platform, the administration of President Roosevelt and the nomination of Roosevelt and Fairbanks.

IN GBEAT DEMAID With Farm Prod.mts They Constitute a Ouarter of All Imports of the United Kingdom How We Feed the Old World-Opportunities Per still Inereasina Amerlean Business. Curious things are brought to light by an examination of the reports of last year's export trade from the greatest of American cities.

When an ocean steamer lives' New York she carries in her cargo about 400 kinds of freight. An alphabetical list of the articles in the ship's hold presents some remarkable contrasts. 'there are art works and asphalt, bones and books, clocks and cars, glassware and glue, hats and hides, paper and perfumery, soaps and spirits, tobacco and typewriters. wax a and wagons. Some of the articles after being taken from the ship must be carried a long distance before reaching their destination.

The orders sent to the Russian forces in Asia may be written on American typewriters, for the Russian market is one which has been seized by the manufacturer of the writing machine, and a portion of the Ameri, can product is equipped to transfer tc the paper the words of the Russiar I tongue without smashing the appara tus. As to Yankee watches, it is likel. that they are carried by officers or both sides in the present unpleasant ness in the east. Referring again te that conflict, should Japan destroy thi Transsiberian railway, the czar migh buy a new one in the United States American manufacturers are constant I ly sending railways abroad-that is Sthey are sending locomotives, care 3 rails and brdges-and should anybod: in the old world see tit to order a rail a road it could be supplied at short no tice. sleeDing cars and all, for the sleep ing car is another American invention which has found favor abroad.

As the typewriter, distinctly an American invention, has clicked its way to fame in old world countries, so another, the sewing machine, has found even greater favor. Its use is worldwide, and steamers sailing from New York last year carried sewing machines worth $5,000,000. In other words, perhaps 200,000 machines were packed away in the holds of the great ocean carriers. Today some are being used in suowclad Russia, while others are humming merrily away under the shade of the bamboo tree. Equal in value to the sewing machines sent abroad from New York are the electrical appliances, American engineers lead the world, and the demand is increasing all the I time.

It has been the development in the uses of electricity, especially the wonderful growth in telephone service, I which in the last quarter century has so greatly increased the demand for copper. America supplies the world, not literally, perhaps, yet so large a part does American copper play that should the exports stop for even a month the markets of the world would be upset, construction work in places on the other side of the globe would come to a standstill and new projects might be abandoned. From New York last year, with the assistance of a few ocean tramps, a line of steamers took copper ingots and bars worth just about an even $30,000,000. When anything breaks in the old world, except perhaps the balance of power, it might be repaired with AmerSlican glue, which goes abroad in pailsso many of them last year that had they been piled one upon another the topmost would have been eighty-five mriles from the surface of the earth. Boots and shoes enough were sent from New York to have covered the feet of 2,000,000 of the people of other countries, and the steamers which handle the fur trade carried furs worth $5,000,000.

But great as are the exports of manufactures, it is, after all, the fact that the old world must eat, which makes 1. it possible for the international mercantile marine to find cargoes on this side for a fleet of 136 vessels, some of them of over 20,000 tons burden and a representing all told an aggregate ol over 1,000,000 tons. Some idea of the volume of the exports of grain. fron New York is gained when it is uiat nair the entire snmpmenis ui LUu north Atlantic seaboard go from that one port. New in 1903 shipped 125,000,000 bushels.

Every one knows that hundreds of thousands of American cattle make the ocean voyage only to be slaughtered in order that they may become the roast beef of old England. Not so much is known about the exodus of the sheep. Had little Bopeep been put to the necessity of looking for her charges among the exports from New York her task would have been a difficult one, for last year the line of steamers which carries practically all this class of freight had over 77,000 bleating travelers. When it comes to canned meats and vegetables it is literally true that America feeds the world. Another American food product often derided in the United States is to the palates of the dwellers in fo0eign parts.

The sturdy yeomanry of old England, the peasanty of France and the subjects of the kaiser have no prejudice against oleomargarine and evidently spread it in liberal quantities on bread, white and black, for steamers sailing from New York last year carried nearly 109,000,000 pounds. Think of sendIng from one port over 50,000 tons of oleomargarine to tickle the palates of the old world and neighboring countries in the new! So great is the American export tradE the Atlantic gestiaboard that the and manufactures of the Unitea States constitute a of all the imports of the United Kingdom. About 6 per cent of Germa.y's foreign pur ch1les are made in the United States, abtit 1) per cent of those of France and about 13 per cent of those of Spain. Northern and western Europe know what we have to sell and evidently appreciate a good thing when they see it. But there are great seetions of the globe where trade is thriving and imports reach into the billions in which the United States cuts a very small figure.

For instance, the imports of that section of the world fronting upon the Mediterranean and the Indian ocean immediately beyond amount to more than a billion and a half of dollars annually, and the countries there take only 6 per cedt of their imports from the United States. Egypt, which buys abroad $75,000,000 worth every year, gets from the United States imports worth less than a million, or about one-seventy-fifth part of the whole. Turkey spends ever $100,000,000 annually, but of this only about $200,000 comes to the United States. The little country of Roumania, popularly regarded in America as the dwelling place of shepherds and brigands, imports over $50,000,000 worth of goods a year, including nothing from the United States. Of the imports of British India, which amount to $260,000,000 annually, less than 2 per cent is supplied by the United States.

It does not require an expert in statistics to make plain the boundiess opportunities to be found on the shores of the Mediterranean and the Indian ocean for the products of American farms and factories, and the figures just quoted give new significance to the recent establishment of a steamship line of service from American ports to the Mediterranean. If American merchants are quick to seize the opportunity thus afforded to them they may increase their trade to proportions which it is dificult now to forecast, and the great variety of the articles found in the hold of the ocean steamer may be still further increased. AUTOING UP SNOWDON. Welsh Mont 'Blane Surmounted by Harvey du Cron. Harvey du Cros, the famous automobilist, has at last conquered Snowdon, the loftiest mountain in Wales, says the special correspondent of the New York American and Journal at Chester, England.

He has driven his auto up the basalt slopes for 3,571 feet. This is the second attempt of Mr. du Otos to surmount the Welsh Mont Blanc, the first having been made last January, when his efforts were baffled by the deep snowdrifts, which absolutely prevented any further progress. He determined to wait for a better season, and the other day, favored with a clear road and better weather conditions, he steered his fifteen horsepower Ariel right to the summit. For some distance he followed the course of the cog railway, and his car proved well fitted to tackle the gradient, which is quite severe for most of the journey and in the last half mile averages one in live.

There were many exciting moments during the journey, it being necessary to lay planks of wood at eight crossings, while at times but a yard or two separated the driver from a sheer drop of many hundred feet into the pass of Llanberis. Had a single mishap to tbrake, gear or tire occurred the party would have been dashed to pieces over the precipice, for nothing could have saved them. The entire time occupied by the ascent, including stoppages to bridge over crossing points, gullies, was four hours, giving an average of seven miles an hour. University In Japan Years Ago. It will surprise most readers to learn from a recent Japanese writer that there was a university in Japan in the eighth century, with schools of ethics, mathematics and history, and that text books were employed dealing with such specialties as the diseases of women, veterinary surgery and materia medica.

Texan Captain In Japanese Army. James Gentry, who formerly lived in Austin, is fighting in the Japanese army against Russia, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. He first entered the Japanese army as a. scout and now ranks as captain.

Reports received at Austin are that he is rendering valuable service for the Japanese. The Music Cure. use of mrisic as a cure' for various nervous disorders is becoming popular in Are you ill, my hapless brother? Is your liver out of whack?
