The visible supply of cotton in this coun-
try is very small, according to the DRY
Goods Economist The stocks held in
Europe and in this country to meet the
needs of the spinners until Oct. l, are ap-
parently short of what will be
required. The Economist is of
the opinion that the operators and specu-
lators, with their co-adjutors at
Liverpool and other European markets,
will make the price during July, August
and September what they please, and the
higher it is, the same authority says, the
greater support they will receive from the
farmers alliance. The alliance has been
enabled to maintain prices on account of
its thorough organization. The result will
no doubt be a general advance in cotton
goods.

the dullness of trade which generally pre-

business is rushing, particularly in the iu-

The BUSINESS Outlook.

The report of r. G. Dun & Co.'S mercan-
tile agency on the business of the United
States for the first half of the present year
is very encouraging one indeed. Not With
standing the fact that the wealth and popu-
lation of the country was much greater
than they were during the first half of 1899,
and consequently the number of business
houses and the volume of business done
were much larger, the number of failures
and the liabilities were smaller.
In the first half of 1889 there were 5,6O3
failures, and the liabilities were S65, S2S,-
S53, and in the first half of this year the
number of failures was 1855 and the liza
bilities were S65,319, 3S4 From these figures
it will be seen that there was a decrease in
the number of failures of 21S, and in the
amount of liabilities of 500, 400.
This showing is a very encouraging one,
and justies hopeful outlook for the
future. Indeed, the prospects for continued
business prosperity in all parts of the
country are very promising. In the south,
particularly, there is every Indication of
steady progress and prosperity. AS far as
can now be seen the cotton crop that will
soon be coming to market will be an excep-
tionally good one. There are reasons for
thinking that 1T will meet expectations both
in quantity and quality.
| 1t is true that the peach crop is a failure
and there will not be more than half a crop
of pears. Only a very small section of the
south, however. is affected by the loss, or
partial loss, of these crops. The yield of
vegetables has been good and the grain
crops promise we'll.
The south certainly has no reason to COM
plain and is not complaining Her farmers
and business men have reason to be thank
full. And those who are engaged in manu-
! featuring and mining have no apprehen-
sion of the future. They are having fair
share of prosperity, ard are congratulate
ing themselves that the south's mineral re
sources are being developed so rapidly, and
that her manufacturing interests are in
such fourishing condition.

W. c. Turnbull, of Baltimore, claims to
have made highly improved telephone,
which cannot be set up in this country,
however, until the Bell patent expires, and
by that time a revolution in the telephone
system is likely to occur. Experiments show
that by means of the Turnbull tele-
phone conversation can be carried on
over an ordinary iron wire from New York
to Chicago and back. and it is believed that
with copper wire, which has seven times
the inductive power of iron, conversation
might be conducted between New York and
San Francisco or between New York and
st. Petersburg. 1t is argued that the
Bell people are rich enough to buy
out all the improved systems aud
annex them, and will do so. On the other
hand, it is claimed that the boxes and other
complexities of the Bell system will not ad-
nit of alterations, and that the concern
will BE left with only its good will, II it has
any good vii! after SO long monopoly.

 WASHINGTON, June S0.-Since the lot tery agitation in Louisiana began to at tract the Stt tention of the nation, and especially since it began to appear that the lottery was going to secure the extension of it's charter, there has been Q reflex agitation here in Washington.
 Those who would have been passixely gratihed at the certainty of the defeat of the Lottery Company are rising to active agrsssivsnsss, now that 1t seems that it will triumph, and q number of letters have boon received by various members of Congress within the last few days, urging that the Fe4eral Gov eFpmept ipterpose to prevent the con- tinuanoe of the gigantic humbuR.
 There are now three bills before e sub committee of the House Post Office Committee, one of which not only pro- hibits the carrying of letters through the mails addressed to the Lottery Company, but also interdicts the carry- ing of newspapers and other publioa- tions containing its advertisemsnts. Gsneral KstcAam is chairman o2 the sub -eommittee, but Aaiitaer he nor his Associates hKSe evidenced much inter- est in tho matter. They will be pressed, however, to take action en the bills sppp, In order that they may be either passed or defeated by the House.

A Young Woman Starving Herself After
 Several Attempts at sgieide.
 READING, Pa, June 30.-Miss Frances Potts, beautiful girl of 19, residing with her parents at the village of St. Peters, over the border in upper Chester County, has tasted neither food nor drink since June 8 last, just twenty days ago. On that day, after repeated attempts to commit suicide by other m cans, she succeeded in shooting her self In the head with 8 revolver, but without fatal effect. Since then she had declared dozen times 6 day that she wishes to die, and has doggedly refused to partake of nourishment of any kind, either liquid or solid,
 For some time preyioua to making the attempts to take her own life, 1t Was noticed that Miss Potts was de- spondent, the cause presumably being her unrequited affection for a certain young man of the village of St. Peters. An effort was made to maintain @ watch over her, without her knowledge. She contrived, however, to elude the vigil ance of her guardians and repeatedly threw herself headforemost into . pond. She was rescued each time, though much against her will, and afterward seemed to be in brighter spirits; but later she procured @ revolver and tried to end her life with 1t. The bullet wound Is serious, but her physicians believe she will recover in time. It Is to prevent such result and to mako sure sf death that she persists in her voluntary fast.

The Indian, District of Columbia and Legislative Appropriation bills will be discussed, and there is probability that the Idaho Statehood bill will como up. The Senate will probably adjourn on Thuraday over the Fourth until Monday.
 In the House tho first three days of this woek will be devoted to the oonsid- eration of the Election bill, which will be placed on its passase on Wednesday. No programme for the remainder of the wssk has been arranged, but Thursday will probably be set aside for the oon- sideration of the National Bankruptcy bill, or possibly tho Compound Lard bill, and an adjournment will probably be taken on Thursday over the Fourth until the Monday following.

THRILLING ENCOUNTER.

 Operator.

RRn Pa, June 3O.-Miss Ida WakelN the handsome young night telegraph opeEAtor 1t Swanville Station, on tho Nickel Plate Railroad, is the heroine of . terribly thrilling encounter. Before Miss Wakely took the position ot thq little out-of-the-way country station oA Saturday night she realized the danger to which she would be exposed from tIamps who follow the road from Eaet to West. So she had not only armed herself, but prActised until she became an expert with the revolver. Shortly after midnight, at an hour whom thsrS were only . few trains, the young woman heard some one at the door, and second later . villainous face ap. pesred at the window. The fellow then demanded admittapoe and was refused, whereupon he threw lump of coel through the window and then made . dash for the opening.
 Just then Miss Wakely flashed her revolver and ordered the intruder to retreat. He stopped to barley, saying young woman took deliberate aim, but the tramp drew . knife. While Mics Wakely held at bay the desperado with her revolver in one hand, she used the other hand to call the next station, where 8 train was sidetracked, and to her joy she caught the operator. whom she informed of her dilemma. The engine was detached and with tho crew aboard ran to the handsome young woman's rescue,
 While the crew were coming to the young woman's relief the burglar tried to induce her to hand over the contents of the safe and made blood curdllnR threats, but whom the engine with the crew turned a sharp curve he ran away in time to escape lynohing. The night of terror was too much for Miss Wakely and when relieved by the day operator she fainted.

Juno 30.-Only . fev changes have been made during the past week in either of the great baseball Pennant races; Some of the clubs have, however, made spurt that has added materially to the interest.

Cincinnati, which made such fight for first place, met with sudden halt when they faced the Bostons. The work of tns bean-eatsrs in PsrioPolis, and, in faot, since they entered the West, has been simply marvellous. They mads only three errors in fve games and have batted in terrific form. Their three pitchers-Clarkson,G Getzein and Niohols-are in first class condition, and Bennett, the star catcher, is work ing every day behind tho bat.

 WASHINGTON, June 30.-During tho progrsss of ysstsrday's baseball game between the Washington and Worcester Clubs at the Gentlemen's Driving Park, near Alexandria, Va, Sheriff Beach. of Alexandria County, accompanied by Justice of the Peace Drummond (colored), served warrants of arrest upon tho managers and members of the two teams for playing baseball in violation of the Sunday law.
 A trial, which developed into com plete farce, followed, during which tho spectators unmSrcifully guyed the justice and sheriff. Each participant In the game was fined g and costs, amounting to A, which was promptly paid.
 The game was then continued, and warrants were again made out against Secretary Burkett, of the Washington Club, on the charge of playing ball without Q license. Burkett. however, learned of this move and quickly drove 6 to this oity, with the sheriff in pursu uit. He will probably be arrested to-day to answer this charge.
