is more in nefd of an elastic currency
than any othr section of the country

The Cuban Tariff Law
! Washington, September 22. Copies of
"the new Cuban tariff law as recently
gazetted at Madrid, have been received
here. They show jn detail the manner
5n which the trade between the United
States and Cuba will be affected and
the basis on which reciprocity can be
secured. The preamble recites:
"The government shall be able to de
cree, a special recharge of 30 per cent,
of ail duties on the products of what
ever nation that, in the application of
its" general tariff, shall prejudice Span
ish products by treating them differen
tially." r
' Under this clause the government re
tains discretion to apply an additional
duty of 30 per cent., if American duties
are construed to prejudice Spanish products-
The preamble, also suppresses
entirely "the favored nation clause"
and provides that '.'as regards commer
cial treaties, it is decreed that all trea
ties br commercial conventions which
affect the customs of- the: island may
I. SDecial." The abolition of the
"fayored nation clause" Is said to be a
rnarked departure trom 'tne 01a sysiem,
under which the United States or any
other country could claim all the ad
vantages given I by treaty to any other
country. Under the new plan; each
country can enjoy only' such tariff as
are eriven it by special treaty.
The. tariff rates are arranged jn two
columns, one giving the fiscal rate
and the other the differential, and it is
provided that ''foreign merchandisers
well i as home merchandise which does
not prove its riht to the benefits Qf the
infective tariff, will pay on its intro-
Jluctkm into Ciiba the amount of the
Uuties, differential and fiscal, shown in
each column of this tariff. The home
. merchandise which justifies its right,
it ill T- v t n duties fixed in the fiscal
roiumn."

Washington, September 22. A mes
sage from Dr. Murray, in charge of the
yellow fever work at Ocean Springs,
in a telegram to the surgeon general
from the marine hospital says that he
has just .visit Bilo'xt, and that up to
and including the 20th, there had .been
forty-two cases at that place and two
death . There were, also several unde
cided Cwises there yesterday. He also
reported one doubtful, case at Ocean
Springs and one certain case on a
schooner sent ; from' Biloxi to the gulf
quarantine. He says he will arrange
for the protection of th fleet.
JJr. Murray ! also stated tnac ine
camp 'at Ocean springs nas a great
number of hnmunes who desire to go
to New Orleans and that Dr. Wasdin,
who was attacked by the, fever a week
or ten days ago, lias recovered and
soon will be ready for duty again.
Dr. Geddings, wiring from Jackson,
Miss., says: "We today believe the
fever, in this state is confined to. Ed
wards and the gulf coast." He says
there were twelve new cases at Ed
wards yesterday, ten being among the
whiltes and two among . the colored
people. There have been sixty-eight
cases in Edwards and vicinity to date.
Dr. Kalloch- reports from Cairo that
all the cases ihere are doing well and
that the steamer Alpha, from which
the patients were taken,; is being disin
fected. 4 ' I
Mobile. Ala., September 22. There
was a slight increase in the number of
new cases of yellow fever during the
twenty-four hours ending at noon to
day, but this was offset by the an
nouncement that there were no deaths
to report, that five of the patients were
discharged and that arl patients were
doiner well. There have been no deaths
here since Saturday and the total num
ber of deaths is three. The total num
ber of cases is thirty-four. The new
cases are four in numbep. The absence
of virulent symptoms is regarded by
the physicians as most extraordinary.
Father Murray, whose illness was
announced today, came here from
Montgomery ten days ago. rHe cele
brated mass and preached at St. Vin
cent's last Sunday and took the fever
this afternoon. He is reported as doing
well. ' . ) '
New Orleans, September 22. The -official
record in. the board of health
office tonight at 6 o'clock showed a to
tal of twelve cases since 6 o'clock yes
terday evening and two . deaths. The
new cases areor the most part widely
scattered and several of them at-least
do not seem to have the ; outcome Q.f
local infection. It' is apparent that-the
microbes brought over in tiaggage from
Biloxi arid Pcean Springs are still In
cubating and that many more cases of
fever are to be looked for.
One of the deaths was Dr. Lovell.
His death had been expected for four
days. He contracted the disease while
attending a number of patients .who
were suffering with the Ocean Springs
fever. He overworked himself and
when stricken hia constitution had been
so much shattered that the chances
were against his recovery.

General Woodford represented to the duke

United States minister at the various
European courts had been instructed t

regarded. Although it was generally sup
posed at the time that this effort would
not succeed, tlierfe is now good reason to

AN Eli ASTIG CURRENCY
Greatly Needed in the Cotton Growing
Section of the Country The Advance in
Interest Rates in New York Caused by De
mauds for Money to Move the Cotton
- Crop .''.;)' ! r
Washington, September 22. Deputy
Comptroller of the Currency Coffin, in
discussing the recent advance in money
rates in New York said this morning:
"Some of the recent sharp advance in
rates-of interest on demand loans in
New York is no doubt due to specula
tive manipulation of the stock market,
but I think the impulse to this upward
turn has been given by the heavy with
drawal from New '-York of funds for.
the legitimate purpose of moving the
cotton crop now coming to market. As
a resident of South 'Carolina, familiar
witli the movement of this crop, I have
for year" bbserved its effect upon nation
al bank statements, as ..well as .on the
money market in New York, during the
month of September. As a rule, tne
rates of interest! advance" about this
time and in some years have approach
ed the danger line, and while the move
ment pf the wheat 1 and other great
crops has contributed to this effect,
still I think the movement of the cotton
crop has been the main factor fop this
reason. .-j
"The average value of the cotton yield
is about $300,000,000 and it is practically
marketed between j October 1st and
March 1st.; or-within a period of five
months, but it is-peculiar in this re
spect, that only about one ninth of the I
entire crop, which this year is a.uw.uuu
bales, remains in the section where it
is grown. Of the remaining eight
ninths" about 2,P00,00Qj bales ape shipped
north, where it is manufactured, while
about two-thirds of the entire crop are
exported from the United States. The
rapid removal of so Jarge a proportion
of this great product! within so short a
period of time, requires a large amount
of actual currency, tor mosi 01 rnij cuL
ton is paid for at interior fowjis at fhe
south with spot easily 'As the cotton
growing region is not densely populat
ed, the accumulation pf banking capital
there is not sufficient to provide th'e
enormous amount of money needed for
a few months to move the crop, and fop
this reason the southern banks have to
borrow largely from banks In other sec
tions during this crop period. This is
reflected, in national bank reports of the
past few years by. the figures, showing
the aiupunt of money borrowed by na
tional banks in' ther4istinctiyey cotton
states at dates in eacn year appmw
mating October 1st., and March 1st.
'."When the borrowings of the state
hajika-'ln these -states are added to
h those of the" national bank. 8-n( jt is
understooa tnat tne mosi-ot mis munf
is berrowed from New Yopk, it can be
seenliow potent a faetor the cotton crop
movement must be in; affecting interest
rates in New York; i '
"These figures, I think too, show how
vital an interest bankers, merchants
and farhjers jn the; cotton growing states
haW in a currency jyhieh ytll tje elas
tie. . If any plan' could he .devised unr
der Which the southern .banks could is
sue additional eurrenpy e.tual q one
fourth f their eapitai stoek during the
cotton season it would be a God send to
that section. For it would enable the
banks there to furnish the money
needed 'withOiit Q"tside aid, and free
from the cost of interest now paid on
borrowed money, and national banks in
all other sections having the same priv
ilege, the .result would be to.make
money more abundant and cheaper,
and to relieve the New Tork market of
the annual strain now put upon it.
"On October 6th,' 1896, the capital
stock ot the national banks in the eight
cotton states sa4 about $38,000,000.
ep'uld they haye issued currency to the
extent of one-fourth of this amount,
they could themselves have furnished
about $9,500,000,! of the $11,000,000 they
Were compelled under existing circum
stances " to borrow -, outsiae. in my
opinion, therefore, . the cotton growing
couth has more vital interest in de-
vising a -bank currency, which is elastic,
as well as safe,' than hny other section
of the United States," v

J. Y. Hamrick, state labor commis
sioner,, returned today from a. tour in
the extreme western counties. He says
there is' much activity at j the marble
quarries in Cherokee, where there are
fifty square miles of marble. 1$ is all
shipped , to Georgia and Tennessee.
There it is passed off as marble from
those states. Thus some ofit was used
in the new library at Washington. A.
thousand men are mining talc in Cher
okee, Swain and Macon; some in Clay.
In Jackson and Swain at least 500 men
are mining corundum. No less than
2,500 are, at work, In the mica mines.
At some of these 100 men are employed.
Mitchell and Madison are the centre of
this industry. Mr. Hamrick visited
the Ducktown copper mine where 1,000
men are. at work. It is in Tennessee,
about a mile over the line. There is a
dispute asj to the line. The vein leads
into North- Carolina. Mr. Hamrick
next goes east to get up facts relative
to the trucking industry. ;
The railway commission has rheard
the dispute between the Meherfin
Steamboat! Company,. and the Atlantic
Coast Line relative to freights from
Murfreesboro. The matter , is now Tn
course of L adjustment and a compro
mise is probable, by which the Citizens'
Line of steamers can haul freight daily
to Murfreesboro. 1 !
Constant inquiry is made as to what
steps Governor Russell will take ; re
garding the two Wilsons, railway com
missioners. Private Secretary Alexan
der says: "Only one man knows and he
will not tell." This means Governor
Russell. But Senator Butler probaTbly
knows equally as well. I I
Senator Butler's- paper intimates th.t
the state will repeal the charter of the
Southern's new line from Mocksville to
Mooresville.
The senator in his. newspaper today
jumps on Congressman Skinner, say
ing: "He has deserted his principTes
and betrayed the people by supporting
a goldbug for the .United States senate
and by enlisting in the employment of
the Southern railway to try to debauch
members of the legislature , to vote to
sustain the infamous midnight 99-year
lease of the North Carolina railway."
E. B. Barbee, a well known cotton
buyer here, says the prices are so low
that the farmers hardly care whether
they pick the crop or not. The fact is
the cotton growers in North Carolina
are now suffering the greatest blow
they have ever had. They are entirely
dispirited. Prices are put down by
people who calculate on buying cheap
and selling -high. " i ,
It is learned that in the Western dis
trict Revenue. Collector Harkins is af
ter the distillers with an iron hand.
In spite of any efforts so far made it L
appears to be impossible tp get rid 01
the families in the penitentiary. One
family has been for over two months
quartered in the hospital. The chair
man of the board is thoroughly dis
gusted at this state of affairs.
Very few of the North Carolina edi
tors went to .the Nashyille exposition
yesterday. .Fears of being quarantined
were the .cause of their staying at
home. I
The showing as to rates on cotton in
this state are shown to be reasonable.
This the manager of the North Caro-
lina Freight-Association admits.
J The hearing September 30th of the
I telephone rate matter by the railway
' commission will be the final , one.
The funeral of Beynard R. Harding,

is the best thing we've got," said he.
"There are over 250 offices connected

Chadbourn said. The latter added ht
onlv supervisors and overseers cpuhl

so and benee the authorities are not
willing for contractors to appoint the
supervisors, etc. The facts seem to be
that the republicans have got places
and simply can't make up their minds
to give them up. Chadbourn says this
is the truth.
Chairman: Doekery sadi "It was the
sentiment of the board that the repub

would be hd chance "of taking "it from

words, pur board is looking after inter

convicts, to prevent and possibility of

John H. Winder was interviewed and
said: "I am hot able to bid under the

A. Y. Sigmori, a member of the board,
said he and B. R. Cotten favored leas
ing the convicts at once and accept
ing Winder's proposal, but other mem
bers outvoted them. He says Clark, of
j Halifax, was out of the room when the
j vote was taken.
pockery says regarding Kirby Smith
that he was simply supervisor or tne
criminal insane ward under Dr. Kirby,
and that Cotton stated to the board
that he thought his conduct resulted
simply from excessive drinking.
Dr. Kirby Smith has resigned. It 1
said, but not to the board of directors.
The latter did not appoint him. ; His
father made the appointment. The
board ordered a full investigation made
by the October meeting into the terri

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION
THE TREATY RATIFIED BY THE
HAWAIIAN SENATE I
Th Sonata Meets in Extra esiion Th
Uesaag From th Paeldnt Transmits
' ins th Treaty Blfened in Washington
Jon Liit The Tot of Batlfleatlon Unan
lmous A Protest Against the Treaty
Presented and Tabled Arrival or Sena
tor Morgan and American Congressmf n
Sm FrancisQQ, September 22. Although
the steamship City of Peking, which ar
rived last night from Honolulu, brought
the news that the annexation treaty had
been ratified by the Hawaiian senate on
the th instant, no details were obtain
able until this morning, the mail having
been delayed in quarantine for twelve
hours. From advices she brought under
date of the 14th Instant, the' following
particulars are obtained.
The Hawaiian senate met in extra ses
sion on the 8th instant. When the senate I
was called to order the president's mes
sage urging the ratification of the treaty
wag read, as was also a protest on be
half of the Hawaiians who opposed the
measure.
The president's message stated that
under the authority conferred upon him
by the constitution and- with the approval
of the cabinet, he had negotiated a treaty
of "political union between the United
States of America and the republic or
Hawaii, which was signed by the pienl
potentiaries of both governments in
Washington,; June 16, 1897. He transmitted
the same to the senate ror consideration
of the ratification thereof, under its con
stitutionality, -and called attention to cer
tain signincent events wmcn oore upon
the matter. He touched upon the adop
tion of the polity of annexation by the
provisional government on June 17, 1893,
and stated that the reasons which then
necessitated that policy still existed and
that subsequent events had emphasized
their importance.
Both papers wer9 referred, with the
text of the treaty, to the foreign rela
tions committee for consideration. On the
following day that committee reported fa
vorably and upon it's recommendation, the
senate adopted tne touowing resolution
by unanimous vote: .
'Be it resolved by the senate or tne re
public of Hawaii, That the senate hereby
ratines ana advises ana consents 10 me
ratification by the president of the treaty
between the republic of Hawaii and the
United States of America on the subject
of annexation of the Hawaiian islands to
the United States of America, concluded
in Washington, June 16, 1897, which treaty
is word for word as follows; l ine text
of the treaty then followed.
In answer to the Hawaiian protest
adapted at a mass meeting held on the
6th, the committee said in part:
'The legislature of the republic has at
its last two sessions passed joint resolu
tions favoring annexation and the annex
ation of the islands to the United States
was one of the fundamental grounds for
the establishment of this government.
We recommend that the protest be laid
upon the table and in doing so, deem It
our duty to say that in our opinion the
orotestants are protesting more -on the
grounds of sentiment than that they- fully
believe annexation would riot promote the
best and most lasting prosperity to the
islands and all classes of people residing
thereon."
This report was unanimously adopted
by the senate.
Despite the action of the senate, the
opponents of annexation are continuing
their fight, and the leaders of the move
ment- express the utmost confidence in
their ability to defeat annexation.
Before the Peking left a call had been
issued for an immense mass meeting to
be held on the 18th, and the indications
were that it would be one of the largest
ever held In the islands. Some of the
annexationists hoped to be able to have
Senator Morgan address the meeting with
the object of changing the sentiment of
the natives, but there was little Hkllhood
of their plan meeting with success.
The steamship Australia, naving on
board United States Senator John T.
Morgan, of Alabama, Congressmen A.- S.
Berry, J. G. Cannon, H. G. Loudenslager
and J. A. Tawney, arrived in Honolulu
on the 14th. v They were aocoxded-a warm
welcome. Senator Morgan stood the voy
age exceedingly well and was In excellent
health. . ,
