But for the sagaclty of the gentleman at the
head of the customs division Of he Treasury
Department, says the correspondent Of the
New York Tri1lae, the people VINO gathered
at Niagara Falls yesterday to witness the
formal opening of the National Park would
have been deprived OF the pleasure of having
the Thirteenth Canadian Volunteers particI-
pate az a military body IN the ceremonies OF
that auspicious day. The collector at Suspen
sion Bridge Is a very sharp fellow, II seems.
He knows a thing or two. Hearing that Inc
volunteers were to attend in body, come
over, IN facU, In full reglmentals, armeh,
equipped and prepared to stay, he consulted
his better half.
"Dar admit them" he asked. "An armed
force, foreign foe, perhaps, on the sacred
soil OF my beloved country: No, let not me
take the responsibility"
SO this shrewd collector straightway wrote
TO Mr. Manning to inquire what he should do
in the premises. The letter arrived this morn
ing, but the Secretary had gone a-fshng."
What was to be done The communication
was shown TO Mr.. Farchid.
what have we here ~ exclaimed that
clever person. ''This is an international ques-
JiOn, a question of diplomacy. Let il be sent
/ to the State Department
Secretary BaYard was at his home in Della
ware. The young diplomats IN charge nod
ded their heads gravely.
This may involve us In a war" they said.
IF we refuse to admit the foreign foe such
acJlOn might be regarded as an Insult by tne
Queens majesty. That would never DO. If
we admit Them the perhaps the whole mat
ter better 20 to the War Department"
To the War Departmental went secretary
EndicOtt was in New York. Chief Clerk
| Tweedale looked at the letter, read it once,
read it again, rested his weary head on his
hands, kept thinking and thinking, and finally
delivered this opinion:
This Is not question Of war. No ques-
ton Of lighting the Indian is involved. 1t is
a question of peace. Let 1t go to the Treas
ury."
Back to the Treasury it went. "Send 1t to
| the Supervisor of Special Agents" i'm
patiently exclaimed Assistant Secretary Fair
child.
Up to the office of Col. Martin it was car
ried. THAT does not belong to my depart
ment," said the handsome Colonel, as he ran
his eye over the paper. This ought TO go TO
the customs division"
To the customs division it went. Chief Nc
| Gregor looked AT it. what have 7 to do with
thiss' he asked, and at once repaired to Mr..
Fairchld.
The Assistant Secretary said; "McGregor,
this Is customs question, don't you see:"
"Oh, yes, Mr.. McGregor replied suddenly,
as If bright idea had struck him, ''of course
it is. Strange I didn't see it before. OF
course it Is u question of customs. These men
come into this country. They are workmen.
They carry their tools; that's where the
tariff element comes in. Their arms are their
tools of trade, and a. such come in free OF
duty. OF course, that's 1t. How stupid IN

The Convention of Southern Cotton
Mills

Thirty Southern mills have responded
20 the circular sent ont few weeks ago
asking for meeting of Southern spInners,
and have fixed July y as the time, and
Augusta, Ga, as the place for the meet
ing. These mills say that it is use
less todisguise the fact that cotton manu-
featuring is in an exceedingly unhealthy
condition, which condition, they think, is
due TO the "cut-throat business which has
been going on for the last two years"
The manufacturers who have called the
convention have agreed upon no plan to
help them in their trouble, but suggest
that perhaps the best thing to do is to cut
down the production to about one-half of
the consumption for at least one year
The cotton mills have been waiting a
good while for an Improvement in BUSH
ness. They have been forced to the con-
clusion, evidently, that the prospect OF an
early improvement is not sufficiently en-
couraging to justify them in waiting any
longer. They have, therefore, determined
20 adopt some method TO guard against
what begins TO look like disaster
