COTtOM JM CKmtAL axia.; ; Oar consuls ' sometimes gather tome interesting and valuable in formation in reference to our trade with other countries and tome times 'make suggestion the following of which would materiallr help in ;in- creasinf that trade. A short YhUe aro we published some suggestions bj our consul at Calcutta, . India, to help extend our; trade in that country, and by our consul at Canton, China, to help extend oar .trade in South ern China. Strange to say neither in Calcutta nor in any town in can' trasinesa honae established. -while in many of them Englishmen, Frenchmen and Germans hare nooses, and thro Ufa these Ameri cans do their selling and buying. Of coarse they hare to pay these foreign middlemen for their services and that takes away a good deal of the profit, both in selling and buy ing. That doesn't look like business in suich a presumably up-to-date people as ours, and this is the view tttntm 1st tain of it i -: While this is true oi au the mer chandise shipped to those countries, we of the South are especially inter- oat a in t ria nntfAn 4M3a Vi f wo n.. M. WUW WWI. MAW .111.. W U hare there or hope to hare, for it is in the East we hope to find a market for much cotton and for much! of the cotton goods we make, and there fore cotton shippers may be inter ested and get some valuable points from the following, taken from one of the reports of Consul Smith; at Moscow. Speaking of the cotton production of Central Asia, which u increasing rery rapidly, he sayt: "Daring the fiscal year ended April 1st, 1901, the total amouat of cotton shipped into Eoropeaa Russia via GrasnoTodak, on the Caspian sea, was 233.S5C779 pounds, from the follow -in districts: ; Turkestan 175,189,533 Traas-Caspian 9,841,531 Bokhara 2741359 Hiva 12,068,594 Persia 9,343,763 Total.... 333,556,779 "The production of cotton La Cen tral Asia is increasing erery year. The rovernaMat and the cotton consumers are assisting the planters to improve mto tiuuikuuu, so as to compete wua American cotton in Eoropeaa Russia. The planters have now almost learned to prepare the cotton by the American system, and receive very high prices. The seeds are imported from the United Sates. "The Rossisa consumers prefer to bay the Central Asia, cotton, as it is packed in small bales, the same as Egyptian. I have been' informed by some of. the largest cotton consumers in my district, which is the center of the cotton manufacture of TtnU, that in time they will all avoid buying American cotton, in consequence of its being packed in large bales (the old system), since in the transportation of the same there is always a loss of from 8 to 10 per cent in weight This is a Tory important question for the Amer ica, producers. The Russians have often made complaints, bat no notice has been taken of them. "All American cotton is shipped to Russia through brokers in Liverpool ana other ports, who are not interest ed in the proper packing and endure no losses in the transportation. ! - "American producers should take immediate steps to remedy this evil, as Rossis is one of the largest cotton-consuming countries in the world." j There are some points in this worthy of the attention of all ship pers of American cotton,' just as there was in the article we pub lished the other day about the ship ping of manufactured goods. The packing of both the ; raw material and of the. manufactured 'goods is defective and operates much to the detriment of the -trade. Both are so badly packed as to be subjected to much damage in transportation and not only to depreciation in value but cause loss of trade. Even if there were no damage to the cotton or to the goods from the method of pacjang; people hare . their notions wsw pihwv ViUUe flsllU . VUCU . A vlOl ences, and the alert business man 1.

That's business. Our traders . do it with - their, home customers, wucin bile v iisvr Tiraf.ti i i v itma ouwiae competition, ana why not with their foreign customers, where nun inn nrMAni- inmvMia in rna Trwvlnrttinn of MHrm fn An'i ft will not be many years before it vrHl pro ducerenough to meet, the home de mand, for; as we are told by Consul j s r re - . . . onutn, Dotn tne government and the manufacturers help the farmers who plant cotton.' The Government helps them because it wants to develop the country orjened tin Trrr tha n!1. roads 'it has constructed, and the manufacturers help - them because 'they think this will be the means of eyentually giring them an abun- ' dance of their own and cheaper cojfc ' ton. rTSey are thinking more about ' cheaper cotton than about the devel- OpSient OI .Jineu wivu-i5twwiiHs m- dxutry. Jf they could get cotton as 1 cheaply from this eountry and put 1 up in the style to sulf them, saving : tbar loss r they now ihcurfrom the : dsthod of packingrther would take nuch less ' interest; rperhaps, jin ttixnulatinjr: cotton-growing over there and this might put back the day when the Asiatic grower wonld .-t:csae a icmidable competitor ;of tliAcri:;3 crorer. : Tf v., ; i ot"?r cf cotton can grow ana sen it ior less than the Asiatic grower can, and ship it in a shape to make it acceptible to the manufacturers of Russia he can hold that market for some years yet, and the industry will not grow as rapidly as the indications are that it win. As s rule Americans are quick to eaten on to good points 'which they see in others and adopt them, which is one of the reasons of their, suc cess, and why shouldn't they do so in the handling and' marketing of their cotton or cotton goods, and catch on to the more acceptible methods of . their competitors ? If Egyptian or Asiatic cotton stands better in the Russian market than the American on account of the way they are packed, why can't our cotton shippers catch on and put np the same kind of bales and deprive their competitors of this advantage? This seems like a rery easy thing to do. And then why should they de pend upon English or other houses to handle their cotton for them when all they are interested in is the profit they make out of the cotton they handle? Why not establish houses in the leading cotton marts to handle our cotton, and see that it was put upon the market in such form as would not bring it into dis favor.' They ought to be men who know something about cotton, in terested in it not simply for the commissions they would get out of it, but interested in building up the trade and in helping the cotton ex porter and grower. That would look something like business, and would do much to remedy the diffi culties that Consul Smith calls at tention to. And now Bear Admiral Evans, "Fighting Bob," as he is called, is on the ragged edge, and may have a fellow feeling for Admiral Schley. Some time ago he wrote a book en titled "A Sailor's Log," in which he made some very contemptuous references to ex-Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, who was Secre tary of the Navy in 1884. Mr. Chan dler sent the extracts to which he objected to the Secretary of the Navy, with a letter complaining of the discourtesy and the injustice done him. The following is the ex tract which gave him the most of fence: "A certain fellow who had been elected a delegate to a political con vention was nominated -to be light keeper as a reward, bat was found so disreptable upon examination that I refused to pass him. I would not sub mit to dictation in my duties by a set of men quite as disreputable as the suggested keeper, and on this issue I was detached and placed on waiting orders. Report was made to the Sec retary of the Navy that I was inter fering with the political conditions in the fifth district, and, without asking a word of explanation from me, I was punished by being relieved and placed on half pay. It was, of coarse, a gross injustice, and caused no end of com ment in the newspapers, but I took it as quietly as possible, and - have al ways leit eon ten tea that l war not personally known to the man who could so far degrade the high office he held The navy had. in some ways. degenerated into a job lot, at least in the eyes of . those . who . used- it for their own purposes, and was some times let to a very low bidder. "Finding myself on the beach, be cause I would not take a hand in polk ties, rather than because I had done so. and knowing that I would not have employment again during the time of the administration then in power, I asked for a leave for a year, with per mission to leave the United oUtes. in the absence of the Secretary of the Navy the request was granted, and I was Dusy mating my preparations to enjoy it when a telegram came from the Secretary revoking my leave and again placing me on waiting orders. I was really of much more importance than I had considered myself, and I must be made to feel my punishment. However. I had felt the stine of in sects before in my life, and did not consider thlm of much importance." There were other extracts, one of which spoke of the "sense of relief the navy felt" when Secretary Chandler was succeeded by Secre tary Whitney, who made an "ideal Secretary," etc ' ' Whatever the question may be as to the right or propriety of an officer in the navy to thus reflect on a for mer Secretary, there should be no question that if there were anything reprehensible Or deserving of cen sure the Secretary of the Navy should have taken action before his attention . was called to it by. the party aggrieved. The presumption is that Admiral Evans "Log" had been read by him, or that he had been made aware of its contents, before he heard from Mr. Chandler, so that the reprimand now doesn't come with good grace as an atone ment to Mr. Chandler, especially in view of the ' fact that Secretary Long, in an interview after the re ceipt of Mr. Chandler's complaint, said he saw no necessity-lor further action than sending' the complaint to Admiral Evans, which had been done. .. " ' " rr'-' .. k. , It was probably the fear that Mr. Chandler's friends would bring the1 matter np in Congress and thus add another scandal to the Schley affair, which spurred. Secretary Long ' to make this belated reprimand, by proxy. Now it is up to "Fighting Bob," who mustTBither defend him self or submissively take his repre mand in silence. 4 t I Notwithstanding the wave' of prosperity the Pullman1 car porters hare issued a, pronunciamento,' de claring that if the people who pat ronize the Pullmans r are not more liberal with tips they will have to pull out and try to earn a living' at something else than pulling passen- 2r3. ' ... TOO LATS TO A2EIT2SAT2. The United 8tates Steel Corpora tion is either playing a big game of bluff, or it is playing a very im perious game not only with the strikers but with the public, whose interests suffer by the strike and and will suffer the more the more the strike is prolonged or expanded. A. Pittsburg dispatch published Sunday states that when a proposi tion was made to J. Pierpont Mor gan to arbitrate, he bluntly replied, "It is, too- late - to arbitrate-" It is not too late to arbitrate. 5 It is never too late to arbitrate, when conflict ing parties are disposed to do the right and the sensible thing. Some of the greatest strikes ever seen in this country, or in England, hare been settled by arbitra tion after .months of contest and the loss of millions upon millions of dollars. Men who once arrogantly declared that it was "too late to arbitrate4 discovered that it was not too late and did what they might and should have done much earliei, and saved millions by it. And so it is now. This strike must either be settled by a straight out surrender by either party to it, or by mutual concession, which will be in the nature of arbitration if not arbitration direct. The Steel Combine, made arrogant by its large resources of money and its ability to stand losses, may play the role of imperator, but it is not winning popular favor by that, nor establishing a reputation for fair play when it thus shows a disposi tion to domineer over the work men it thinks it has in its power, and shows a spirit of retaliation against the people of towns where its plants are located if they show sympathy with the strikers, as it does when it or ders the dismantling and removal of plants to other towns. It ordered the removal of one plant from Mo Keesport last week and the dis patches of Saturday announce that orders had been 'issued for the re moval of several others for the same reason. This means that the Steel Trust is fighting not only the strikers but the towns which sympathize with them. It is playing a bold and im perious game and one that will surely prove a boomerang later on. Its managers may . haughtily declare that it is "too late to arbitrate," but if this strike goes on and the strikers show a disposition to arbitrate, whieh they say they are willing to do, public sentiment will be aroused and will compel ihe steel magnates to arbitrate. The public, as well as the Steel Trust and the strikers, has interests entitled to consideration. CURRENT COMMENT. Canada's population is now- only 5,300,000, or 466,761 more than ten years ago.

French is employing savages to as sist him against the Boers. But he has a precedent for this. The same Slan was adopted by the same nation nring the American revolution. Atlanta Jturnal, Dem- Since December last three dividends $20,000,000 in March, S 12.000,000 in June and 98,000,000 for September hare been declared on the $97,500,000 capital stock of the Standard Oil Company. The December dividend is usually $10, 000,000, and if this should prove to be the rule this year the great cor poration would hate broken its own record as a dividend payer. With less than one-tenth of the capitali zation of the Steel Trust, this petro leum monopoly has fully one-half the earning capacity of the. great steel combination. Philadelphia Rseord,Dem. - ' That the Chinese who come to this country become American ized to some extent is demonstrably certain, but that they can be in duced to so far forget their nation ality as to cut off their queues is' by no means probable. They have in variably shown strong clannish ten dencies, and are, 'moreover, driven to keep their own manners and cus toms by the ostracism which they everywhere encounter. They can only adopt our customs and our cos tumes under difficulties so to speak, and to sacrifice their, pigtails to follow foreign fashions' when they would only earn ridicule for their pains is rather too much to expect even from the docile and peaceable Celestials.

Tarboro Southerner: " At the convict camp, on the EL CL road, is a bloodhound that has wonderful sagac ity as well as a keen nose. There is also a convict who had been made "trusty," and deserved his name, and one who did not. A. lew days ago. while the convicts were waiting for train which was to take them to the scene of their work, a convict who had been made a ."trusty was left to clean a p after eating. He thought he saw a chance to escape, and slipped away. Being short one guard Cap tain Bowden was not apprised of the man's absence until he had been gone two hours. He then loosed two bloodhounds whieh folr lowed the trail till they came to By num's mill branch, which was greatly swollen and the dogs refused to go in to the water. Another was ordered and pat in charge of a "trusty." She took the trail, crossed the branch whenever the convict did and took up the trail on the other side. Several times did the fleeing man cross the stream, but the dog was never bsmed. The man was soon eaueht np with and the dog kept him at bay till the real "trusty" came up. He and the dog escorted the convict back to camp. This was not such an easy Job, for the man had pro vided himself with a heavy stick and threatened the other with it But the dog and the man's drawn knife in duced him to forego any violence.
