WASHINGTON, May 9.-The matter of

hands Of Secretary Foster and Attorney
General Miller into the hands of Secre-
tary Tracy who has instructed Rear Ad-

GOTTEN SEED OIL Mills
Over Twenty Millions Dollars Insertc
Throughout the south.

BALTIMORE, May 0-The Manufac-
turers' Record of this week publishes a
list of every cotton seed oil mill in the
south, giving the name location and
capacity of each, This report shows
that there are now 1914 mills with car i
tai of over $20000,000 against forty
mills with capital of SO. SOC, 900 in
1880. Forty of these mills have cstab.
hshed fertilizer factories in connection
with their oil business using the cotton
seed meal as basis for manufacturing
fertilizers.
Reviewing this industry, The Manu-
tacturers' Record says; 1t was but
few years ago Wen cotton seed was
an encumbrance, and when farmers had
to dump it wherever they had waste
place. 1t is true that to some little ex-
next their value as a fertilizer was
recognized, and here and there few
We're used for this purpose, but they
counted nothing in adding TO the wealth
OF the south or to the prosperity of
southern farmers,
The increase In the mills has been
greater in the size and quality than in
the number, Many of the oil mills that
We're badly constructed and fitted with
antiquated machinery have been aban-
doned and the business concentrated in
the newer and more thoroughly equipped
mills. The cotton oil trust has pursued
this policy and has ceased to operate a
number Of mills that it purchased.

BEHRING SEA.
Blaine Maintains That 1t Is
Part of the Pacific Ocean
In a Reply to Lord Salisbury's
Recent Letter.

President Harrison Desires a More Def
mite Explanation of the Case as 10 Rus
sia's Rights, and the Territory the
United states and England should
Cover in seal Fishing.
WASHINGTON, May 8. - Secretary
Blaine has sent to Sir Julian Pauncefote
communication in connection with the
Behring sea controversy with Great
Britain. Mr.. Blaine states that Lord
Sallsbury's recent suggestions in the mat
ter do not wholly meet the views of
President Harrison, who wants more
definite explanation of the case, espec-
tally as to the extent of territory the
United States and England should cover
respectively in seal fishing,
Mr.. Blaine goes into an exhaustive re-
view OF the case, embracing treaties
made as far back as 1922 He concludes
that the Pacific ocean includes the
Behling sea in the same sense that the
Atlantic ocean includes the Gulf Of Mex
leo, point on which Lord Salisbury
takes issue with Mr., Blaine. In sub
stance Mr.. Blaine claims that the
Behring Sea is United States property.

GREAT BRITAIN'S POSITION.
She Always Extended Helping Hand ia
ba TI,iIian

She Always Extended a Helping Hand to
the Chilian Insurgents.
LONDON, May 9.-It has leaked out
that considerable confusion exists in the
foreign Office over the action of the
United States in seizing vessel of the
Chilian insogents. The insurrection
from the first has been favored by Great
Britain, and the British legation at
Santiago has more than once extended a
valuable helping hand to the rebels
through the agency of the British fleet.
Under thin pretext of surrender to
superior force English merchant vessels
have kept insurgents in supplies, in re-
turn for ample compensation and the
British government has presented no
protest against such pretended and prof
liable seizures, Lord Salisbury even
going so far as to advise the payment of
duties eXacted by the insurgents at the
posts held by them, it being ON these
duties that the insurrection depends for
sustenance.
Therefore the vigorous action of the
United States to prevent the revolution
lists from using American ports, has
caused almost CONSERVATION among the
various British interests that have been
supporting the rebellion. 1t is said that
representatives of the congress party
have gained powerful influences in their
behalf in France by making promises to
entertain the Dryfus claim, which Bal
maceda rejected when presented with
the Endorsement of the French govern,
ment,

LONDON, May 9,-Replying to ques-
ton in the house of commons Thursday
in regard to the reported Boer trek
being prepared for the invasion Of Ma
shonaland, Manicaland and other South
African territory, for the purpose of
establishing the so-called Republic of

proposed Boer "trek."
The new republic will be founded on
the constitutional laws of the South
African republic, and is expected to at
tract men of high character and ability
from all parts Of South Africa. 1t will
require a very strong force of British
troops, many more than now available in
South Africa. to make any practical
stand against 20, 600 well armed fighting
Boer farmers, who are dead shots and

hardships without complaint

The Itata's Case.

But while all the vessels whose cases
have been cited as bearing ON the present
one were of American ownership. and
fitted ont with arms and ammunition in
the ports of their origin, for the alleged
purpose of making this country the base
Of military expedition against Hayti,
the Itata is a vessel OF the South Ameri-
can Steamship company, of Valparaiso,
and it is evident, therefore, that our
government would require the evidence
against her to 90 further. and what was
relied upon for this purpose was that the
schooner Robert and Minnie, an Ameri-
can vessel, owned in San Francisco, had
violated, or proposed to violate, our
neutrality laws.
To establish the fact, with completely
on the part of the ltata the Chilian gov
ernment set forth that the ltata was no
longer in the possession of her former
owners, but had been seized by armed
insurgents and pressed into their service;
and that these insurgents have control of
sun6ry ports, which the ltata can enter.
What our government had first 10 ascer-
tain therefore. was whether the Robert
and Minnie. said 10 be waiting in Mexi-
can waters. did enter into an arrange
ment for transfer OF her cargo TO the
Itata and whether this would be plan
ming violation of our neutrality laws.
The legal points involved, however,
Were postponed in summary fashion.
For when the United States marshal
went in search Of the Robert and Min
ME, she Immediately ran into Mexican
waters. near which she was lowering;
while the Itata also escaped. Apart
from any evidence in the possesson of the
authorities this conduct will leave very
little doubt of the completely of the
vessels. If. as has also been said. the

THE ITALIAN PRESS PROTESTS
Against the Failure to Prosecute the New
Orleans IynChers.


LONDON, May "a Rome dispatch
says. that while the Italian press pro
tests against the failure to prosecute the
New Orleans lynchers, the affair has
ceased to excite such public interest, in
view of the gravity of the situation in
Italy. The stoning of Mr.. jacques the
American, at Florence, it appears, was
the act of some of the worst class, and is
said to have been melted in the first
place by a beggar. to whose appeal for
aims Mr. Jacques neglected to listen.
1t is claimed that the incident had no
motive relating to the massacre at New
Orleans. and it is deeply regretted by the
Florence authorities, whose city depends
upon American patronage to great ex-
tent for income. In Rome Americans
go about entirely unmolested, and it is
believed that they are safe in any part of
Italy where other people are safe.
