A Sweeping Survey of Our Empire.
The islands we take number more
than 2,000-they have never been count
ed, and st ill less have they been accu
rately surveyed. But the best statis
tics available yield the following re
sults as to areas in square miles:
Cubit.40,000
Porto Rico.- - 3,550
Hawaiian group - - -. - - - 0,640
Tlie Philippines.114,000
The Stilus -'.1,000
Thc Carolines.1,000
Guam in Ladrones.500
Total.171,690
Cuba is about thc ?ize ?d' New York,
Ohio or Alabama.
Porto Rico is a little, smaller than
Connecticut.
The Hawaiian Islands are somewhat
smaller than New Jersey, thc largest
island. Hawaii, being about twice the
size of Delaware.
The Philippines cover a laud space
about as great as New York and? the
N cw England States together. Luzon,
on which Manila is situated, is not
much smaller than New York.
All the new dependencies together
are about equal in area to thc Now
England States. New York, Pennsyl
vania and New dorsey.
In annexing lauds we annex popula
tions also. These are as follows:
Cuba-1,500,000; 05 per cent white.
Porto Pico-1,000,000; GO per cent
white. .
Hawaii-00,000:25 per cent white.
Philippines-8,000,000; mostly Orien
tals.
Sui us. Carolines, and Ladrones
Mainly barbarous.
Roughly, we annex about, ten million
people, of whom 00 per cent belong to
more or less interior races.
The resources ol'our annexed terri
tory, like their area and population,
have never been calculated with accu
racy.
Cuba produces sugar, coffee, tobacco,
cocoa, cotton, indigo, rice and fruits.
She has forests rich in rare woods, and
mountains abounding in iron, coal,
copper; marble and precious stones.
Tlie forests am.1 the mines have been
scarcely at all worked.
Only 10 per cent of the arable lands
are now under full cultivation.. Seven
percent is wholly unreclaimed, and 4
per cent, of the island's area is unex
plored forest.
The imports of the island were
roughly estimated for 1894 at 850,000,
000, and the exports at .$'95,000,000.
Porto Rico's products are substanti
ally the same as those of Cuba. In
1800 the island imported 818,000,000
worth of goods and exported 810,000,
000.
Hawaiian exports consist almost
wholl}r of sugar. Its exports amount
to $15,000,000 a year; its imports to
87,000,000.
The Philippines produce sugar, hemp,
tobacco and copra. Imports about
811,000,000 a year; exports about $20,
000,000.
The Stilus produce teak and sandal
wood. No statistics . of commerce
exist.
The Carolines are inhabited by Malay
fisherman and produce nothing of
value. The Ladrones are in like con
dition.
We have also annexed new climates.
The Philippines, ns all travelers
agree, have a climate in which a man
from the temperate /one can keep alive
only with the greatest difficulty, and
can keep well only by never forgetting
for an instant to guard Ins health.
Malaria is tlie lot of all who dwell
there. Tropical fevers,5 tropical plagues
such as smallpox and leprosy, thrive
and prey upon natives and newcomers.
The air is hot as well as moist, and
only the most rigid comers from tem
perate climates arc able to resist the
universal, innate and incurable idle
ness.
U? Hawaii wo already know much-a
gorgeous beauty of sky and earth, a
paradise in which lurks leprosy.
In both these domains thc only pos
sible labor that is commercially pro
ductive is contract labor not distin
guishable from tho. harshest slavery.
This fact is due childly to the climate.
In Cuba Hu; semi-tropical climate
makes conditions tolerable only by the
acclimated 'ny inheritance. Residence
?di the year round in the Cuban cities
and plains is impossible for the while
races. Tlie heat and the diseases bar
the white laborer.
Porto Rico, called -'Hie. most health
ful of the Antilles/3 i.; ;- delightful
winter resort. But while men from
the United Slates will never live there
longer than for thc brief win ter season.
As a who! e the new climates added
to the long-established American vari
eties an; not attractive to Hie healthy,
vigorous white races. These races will
not labor in them, will not thrive in
them, will not. voluntarily live in them.
And they stain and weaken and ravage
and render indolent and savage thc
native races.
Yes, it is undoubtedly a bigger, u 1
greater United States. But i.; i;, a bet- j
1er United Slates.
With these areas in Hie Asiatic hem
isphere come 8,000,000 ni Asiatii ..--yel
low, brown and iii;:.; !;. "'.Vii h eil these j
areas near and far conn; peoples alien
in blood, alien in thought, alien in j
habits, customs, manners. A few of
them in I he. Wes! I ndies are somewhat
akin to our home negroes who const i- !
tute such a menacing race pro'.h m. !
But even that kinship is slight, te neto. j
And these new people will b : Amer- '
?cans, citizens of the United States at
once, perhaps. Are 1 hey not entitled
to the rights guaranteed to ns hy our
constitution*? Do they not conic in
under our d?clarai ion of independence,
with its sweeping assertions of univer
sal equality and of no government
without thc consent of thc governed ?
Was it wise, is it wise, to add these
problems, inseparable from thc. in
coming of these new Asiatic, .South
Sea and West Indian "Americans," to
our present problems? Are we or are
wc not enlarging our commerce to any
great extent? Is this enlargement
commensurate with the enlargement of
our difficulties?

Ordered to Cuba.
SAVANAH, GA., Dec. 2.-Thc 2d di
vision of the 7th army corps, the 2nd
division hospital and the signal corps,
Battalion F, 7th army corps, have been
ordered to move as soon as possible
from Savannah to Havana, Cuba.
Major Gen. Fitzhugh Lee issued an
order to this effect to-day. The men
will go as soon as possible. It will
take about fifteen transports to carry
them. That is more than the Govern
ment has in service at lids lime. Thc
2d division will go under command of
Gen. Edward 13. Wilhston. The regi
ments in the 2d division are the 104th
Indiana, 2d Illinois, 2i)2d New York, 4th
Virginia, 49th Iowa and 6th Missouri.
Though these ;>jv in the nature of
hurry orders, il is not thought troops
can leave herc before December 10.
Tho Black Diamond 3?ai?ro:u!"
ATLANTA, G A., Nov. 20.-A special to
the Const itution from Knoxville, Tenn.,
says: The local promoters of the Black
Diamond Kailrond scheme have receiv
ed information that Sir Thomas Tan
cred, the English engineer sent to this
country by an English financial syndi
cate, would recommend that the road
be built by lus people.
Before starting for London the engi
neer stated to Col. Albert E. Boone, of
Zanesvillc, Ohio, the chief promoter,
and other prominent men interested in
the deal, that he would approve the
survey and recommend the invest
ment. This is considered ;i consumma
tion of the financing.
Col. Boone has the contracts for
building the road, and expects to com
mence work the 1st of next Ma}-.
The road will extend from Port
Royal, S. C., to Columbus, Ohio, pene
trating all thc coal fields of East Ten
nessee and Kentucky, and passing
through this city. It will be 822 miles
long, double tracked and cost $40,000,

Lessons iu Agriculture.
"Thc industrial agent of one of our
Southern railroads has Int upon a
scheme that is rather novel, but which,
if carried out will no doubt be a good
thing for our section/'said Mr. N. T.
Briggs, ol' Georgia.
"lie wants several hundred young
Southern men to go on farms in North
ern and Eastern States to learn thc
methods employed by the wide-awake
agriculturists of those sections. Thc
chief idea is to have them learn the
most scientific methods in frail grow
ing; dairying and the poultry business.
In these three lines thc railroad official
thinks there isa magniliceut opportu
nity for money making in the South,
but there is need of trained and expe
rienced men to manage each industry.
"The plan in brief is that several
young men from each station slung the
line ol' the railroad system shall agree
to goto country places in the North,
where, they shall remain not. less than
two years, lt is understood that only
nominal wages shall be paid them, in
cluding board and clothes, in return
foi- which they shall give their labor as
regular bimi hands. For this labor
they shall be well treated, and shall bc
instructed in tho most approved nod
modern methods of horticulture, the
production of butter and cheese, caro
of line stock and raising of all kinds of
poultry, together with practical in
struction in the marketing ol'all these.
"This two years to be spent on
.Northern farms is, in the opinion ol' the
promoter, worth all the training of all
agricultural schools in America, for
the curriculum will not be theoretical,
but intensely prac ti cali Vonna' men
who av..il themselves of the chance are
expected to return to their Southern
homes to give thc benefit of the knowl
edge they have gained to others in
their locality. Their presence in the
North, too, will, it is thought, kindle
an interest among Northern people in
thc region beyond the Potomac, and
accelerate thc tide ol' desirable immi
gration toward tho Sunny South."

News and Courter.
j ^COLUMBIA, DOC. 3.-When the call
for State volunteers was issued Gov
ernor Ellcrhe had no equipment for the
men who were to come to Columbia in
response to the call for volunteers. It
took money to bring the men to Colum
bia and to buy blankets with which to
cover the soldiers, Nineteen hundred
dollars1 worth of blankets were pur
chased from a firm in Charleston, and
some were bought here. The men had
to be fed until the Government took
charge of the volunteers; tents had to
be hauled and travel had to be paid
for. In all the bills for the very ear
liest movement of the troops, and be
fore the Government took charge of
them, aggregated 87,000. These bills
were not taken up by Capt. Fuller,
representing the war department, but
were to be handled through Governor
Ellerbe. He was repeatedly assured
by telegraph and ?rders that all expen
ses incident to thc mobilization of the
troops would be paid by the Govern
ment. The bills were made "out ac
cording to the form sent from Wash
ington. They were sent back and
fixed nj) again, exactly as thc Wash
ington authorities directed. Now, as
has been stated in the News and Cou
rie.i, the comptroller refuses to pay the
claims from South Carolina, on the
ground that the State owes the Federal
Government about ?122,000, on some
back claims, incident to tin; land script
legislation.
It would appear that the only tiling
now to do is to wait until some Repre
sentative from this State has a bili
passed, directing tile payment of thc
money expended for the mobilization
ol'the troops. Senator McLaurinhas
taken the matter in hand and promises
to do whatever is possible.
It generally takes a great deal of
time to get a bill through Congress
carrying an appropriation, and it has
been suggested that the .General As
sembly of this State should immediate-'
ly upon its assembling, pass a joint
resolution directing the payment of thc
money to those who assisted in the
mobilization of tin; State troops here,
under t he first cull, unless the war de
partment gets the money for tin; State
before that time.
The Government paid, of course, a
great deal more than the amount in
volved for the support, of the ttoops
while here, and took entire charge of
the mobilization of the volunteers uu
der thc second call.
A15 AN DON I N< i AV, li EVIL LE.
The slicing up of old counties seems
to be quite thc fashion now. Governor
Ellerbe has received a petition from
citizens in a portion of Donald's and
Due West townships, of Abbeville
County, asking to go into Anderson
County. The statement is made that
if portions of Cedar Springs, Bordeaux
and Indian Hill townships succeed in
getting into Greenwood, as they have
petitioned to do, it will not interfere
with the plan of Donald's and Due
West to go into Anderson County.
Certificates are attached to t he petition]
that the territory involved is 1 ?iii square
miles, and that tin* necessary number
of voters have signed the petition.
There are, however, no certificates to
show that Abbeville will have the
requisite number of population and
wealth left, as provided tor. if I he ter
ritory involved leaves Abbeville Coun
ty?
The papers in the case have been re
ferred io thc Attorney General's office,
and the following' decision has been
tiled with reference to the incomplete
ness of the showing:
COLUMBIA, S. C., Dec. 3,1S0S.
Hon. W. li. Ellerbe, Governor of
South Carolina-Dear Sir: The petition
of M. L. Latitner and others, petitioning
foran election to beheld in Donalds
Township, Abbeville County, desiring
lobe cut ott and incorporated within
??ie limits ol' Anderson County, has
been considered.
The petition and papers therewith
connected do not show timi old Abbe
ville County would still retain the
constitutional number of inhabitants
nor the required amount ?d' taxable
property. 'Jd this extent the petition
is defective, and should be remedied
so as to comply wit ti the r.-luiroments
of the Constitution. Yours indy,
