tin: stah s of on: islands.
It is the evident theory of the
Administration that the cession of
r..rb Kico and the l'liilippine Is
land by Spain to the United, the
subsequent ratification ot the treaty
1- the Senate, the appropriation ly
Congress of the purchase money
agreed upon and its payment did
not make the islands an integral
part of the country even after, as
in the case of Porto Kico, peacea
ble possession had been established.
The i-lands are esteemed as territo
rial dependencies. They have not
been formally annexed.
It is held by learned lawyers that
when Congress shall do away with
military control and substitute
therefor a civil government such
action will he tantamount to annex
ation, and that thereafter the is
landers will stand in the same rela
tion as other territorial populations
with similar constitutional rights.
Acting on the theory that the is
lands are as yet mere dependencies,
l'roident McKinley proposes "to
abolish all customs tariffs between
the United States and Porto Kico
to give her products free access to
our markets." If Porto Kico should
be considered already annexed she
would have free trade with the
States by virtue of the constitution
al provision imposing uniformity
of tariffs and unimpeded commer
cial intercourse between all parts
of the Union.
The question of the status of our
new insular population is very im
portant. It will soon press for
judicial determination. The Pro
tectionist journals which have been
quick to denounce President Mc
Kinley for propo-ing free trade
with Porto Kico take a rather shal
low view. If it be held that ac
quirement is equivalent to annexa
tion the right of free commercial
intercourse with Porto Kico is al
ready established. If action by
Congress in establishing necessary
civil government in the islands shall
bring them into the Union in a
territorial relation, down will go
the tariff walls. Only by holding
them as dependencies and proper
ties can they be kept outside of the
benignant operation of the Consti
tution and outside of our protective
tariil barricades. In assuming that
they are outside the President is a
more consistent Protectionist than
his critics.
Incukask. of the wages of cotton
mill operatives in factory towns in
Massachusetts, Vermont, Georgia
and South Carolina present three
important points for the considera
tion of the student of industrial
utl'airs: The cotton spinning busi
ness is generally prosperous: south
ern mills have become strong com
petitors of those in the north, and
foreign competition is so little
hurtful to the domestic business
that the latter could not be in
jured by the repeal of protective
taritls.
LoNt; estrangements of nations
are occasioned by political differ
ences, hut commerce ignores them
whenever opportunity offers. The
exportation of American goods to
Spain a nation which dislikes the
United States politically has been
increasing since the close of the
Spanish-American war, and new
channels of trade with that country
;ire being opened. He was no vis
ionary who said that eventually
commerce w ould be the controlling
factor in international relations.
It was said that the women forced
the repeal of the McKinley Tariff
law. They are now credited with
paving the way for the rejection of
Mr. Brigham II. Koberts as a Con
gressman. Who knows but they
may yet succeed in procuring the
passage of uniform Divorce laws
ami of an Arbitration law that will
prevent recurrences of the strikes
and lockouts which annually cause
so much loss and misery to hundreds
of thousands of industrious Ameri
cans '.
Ihf.kk i going to be some dith-
culty in finding a suitable running
mate for McKinley next vear. A
man who would bring strength to
the ticket and money to the cam
paign fund would be desirable; but
such a man is hard to tind. Those
who have 1 trains, courage and pop
ularity do not care for the Y ice
Presidency. Those who have mere-
lv money and respectability are a
drag and a burden before election
and an inconvenience afterward.

IJusiness has continued to be of
very large volume for the season, al
though new operations iu many lines
have been on a smaller scale, as ex
pected during the closing weeks of
the year. Colder weather and the
nearness of the holidays have quick
ened trade in retail lines, and there
has been a good distribution by job
bers. The industries are very actively
employed, and a lull in demand would
be welcomed by many manufactur
ers whose order books are already
overcrowded. The general strength
of prices is still a feature of the
situation. Cotton prices show a
slight reaction from the recent ad
vance, but there has beeu a further
rise in the cost of wool, some chem
icals and dye stulTs. Values of other
raw materials are firm, while most
finished products are either strong
at current prices or tending upward.
The improved price position and the
activity of mills and factories have
induced a number of wage advances,
including a pretty general rise of
10 per cent, amoug the new England
cotton goods mills. Business fail
ures during the past week, accord
ing to II. G. Dun & Co., numbered
222 in the United States and 3.5 in
Canada, against 24S iu this country
and 33 in Canada during the corre
sponding week last year.
Cotton prices have receded J of a
cent as a result of speculative reali
zations encouraged by a moderately
increased movement of the crop and
weaker reports from Liverpool.
There is no important change in the
situation, however, from a legitimate
trade view-point. The receipts con
tinue to compare unfavorably with
those of last season; belief iu a com
paratively small crop is still general,
aud indications point toan unexam
pled consumption of American cotton
for the crop year. The cotton goods
trade is restricted by a scarcity of
supplies available for prompt deliv
ery, but there is a good inquiry, aud
prices continue upward. The
changes of the week include a rise of
1 of a cent in print cloths to the
highest point touched for a number
of years. There have been fraction
al advances on many lines of plain
and colored staple goods, the pro
duction of which is still largely sold
ahead. There is continued complaint
of a scarcity of cotton mill labor in
New England and a low water sup
ply iu some localities has begun to
embarrass the operations of some
mius.
The wheat market, having been
relieved from the pressure of liqui
dation by December option holders
the chief bearish factor prior to the
1st instant has this week advanced
21 to 2? cents per bushel. The dif
ference between the price of Decem
ber aud May deliveries in Chicago,
which was 4 cents per bushel last
week, is now only 3'. cents per bush
el. The narrowing of the cash dis
count indicates the increased confi
dence of holders of actual wheat.
This is a feature of the situation in
the interior as well as iu the specula
tive markets. The movement of
wheat to 'Western centres iscompar-
ativelv light. Lake navigation has
been closed, not by ice, but by the
expiration of the period of cheap in
surance on December 5 and by the
practically prohibitive rates charged
for business after that date. New
business for export has been com
paratively quiet, but th? week's
clearances, which include flour and
grain hurried forward toward the
close of the period of open naviga
tion, have been about 1,500,000 bush
els larger than those of the previous
week.
The facts are notable that notwith
standing there has been a little fall
ing off in exports of late, the aggre
gate for the season since July 1 has
beeu only 0,000,000 bushels less than
that of the corresponding period last
year; and the proportion contributed
by the United States to the recent
weekly imports of Europe has been
approximately three-fourths of the
total. In other words, there is no
considerable export movement of
wheat from any other country, al
though 1,500,000 to 2,000.000 bushels
have been in the aggregate shipped
during recent weeks from Argen
tina, Russia and other parts of the
world, while American exports have
averaged 4,000,000 bushels a week
since the crop year began. The ten
dency is toward a decrease in the ac
cumulations of visible stock; and
there is growing confidence in the
future of wheat values, owiug to the
evident reduction in invisible sup
plies and the apparent continued de
pendence of Europe upon this coun
try as the chief source of supply, al
though Argentina will probably re
new exports on a more liberal scale
after the new crop shall have been
harvested in Januar-.
Com prices have risen 3 to J of a
thv with the market for wheat, but
' chiefly on account of a moderate
Western movement, a good interior
demand from cattle feeders and fair
ly liberal exports.

Horror iu a Coal Mine.
Carbonado, Washington, Dec. 9.
The greatest mining accident in the
history of coal mining occurred
this morning when a terrible explo
sion occurred in Shaft Xo. 7 of the
Carbon Hill coal mines. Between
fifty and sixty lives were lost.
The origin of the accident is not
definitely known, but it is believed
the miners broke into old mine work
ings which were filled with gas. An
explosion followed as soon as the
outpouring gas came in contact
witli a miner's lamp.
The work of rescue immediately
began. Thirty of the miners suc
ceeded in working their way out of
the mine, madly stunned; but this
leaves at least fifty who were near
the scene of the explosion and must
have been killed outright.
The scenes around the shaft were
heart-rending. Women and children
gathered, bewailing the loss of hus
bands, fathers and brothers. Sev
eral dead bodies have been brought
to the surface. There is little hope
that any of those remaining in the
mine are still alive.
A Barkeeper Shot Dead.
Smithfield, N. C, December 11.
News reached Smithfield yesterday
of a shooting at Jerome, X. C, a sta
tion on the A. C. L. railroad, be
tween Selma and Kenly, which re
sulted in the death of Chas. W. Bal
lard, a barkeeper of that place. The
affray occurred in Ballard's bar
room. It seems that Alford Brown,
a notorious character of that section,
was there drunk and upon being
asked to pay an account due Ballard,
cursed the latter, whereupon Bal
lard drew a beer bottle on him and
attempted to put him out of the bar,
when Brown stabbed him in the
chest, from the effects of which he
died in about one hour.
