PROSTATE and gasping, reminds the New
York EoeHing Post of several things,
among them that Rhode Island mills
were prospecting without protection 100
years ago. History records the fact
that Samuel Slater started his cotton
mill at Pawtuckct, Rhode Island, in
1879. There was no duty at that time
specially imposed on cotton manufac-
lures, but they came within the list of
non-enumerated articles subject to q
duty of five per cent nd valorem. What
is still more remarkable is the fact that
raw cotton was subject to a duty of
three cents per pound, and that our sup
plies were then almost wholly obtained
from the East and West Indies. Under
these apparently adverse circumstances
the cotton spinning industry of New
England took its start. 1t was prosper

The death of John s. Rowbotham
CHEAP John) recalls memories of the
popular furore he aroused in Will
mington when he first came here and
opened his little store, next door 10 the
old Naff building, in the spring of 1861
John was then at his best and his store,
his methods and his jokes took like
wildtire. Night after night his place OF
business was jammed To the doors and to
saythat he did smashing business would
be to draw it mild. Other local ventures
have possibly been equally or even
more successful since, but there has
been nothing of the kind so completely
permeated with the personality of the
man. lie became almost at once sort
of popular idol who could hardly show
himself on the street without being fol-
lowed by retinue of admiring at.
tendants. The only parallel to this
local hero-worship witnessed since those
days was the similar furore, though so
radically different in its origin, which

orator, aroused in 1875, which, it will

THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The dispatches
from Honolulu, by way of Victoria, ex-
clusively brought by tho United Press,
created an immediate sensation at the
capitol.
~ have not had word of confirma.
ton Of the story" was the reply made
by Secretary Gresham to query as to
whether he had received any news by
the Corwin touching the startling events
In Hawaii.
Despite the fact that, according to
Honolulu advices the instructions under
which Mr., Willis acted were conveyed
to him in cypher by the Corwin, and
President Dole's peremptory refusal to
accept of the request for surrender was
brought to the United States by the
same vessel, Mr., Gresham gave every
indication that the news now published
was surprise, and seemed disposed to
doubt its correctness. lie asked for and
obtained full copy of the United Press
dispatches, to lay before the cabinet
meeting.
The secretary had been in his office
only few minutes when Senator Mills
of Texas came in. The Secretary imme-
diately took him into private room
and they proceeded TO discuss the situa-
ton. About 10 o'clock in walked Com
missioner Blount. Being told that the
Secretary was within the diplomatic
room he cast his white sombrero upon a
convenient chair, entered the room and
was soon party to the consultation pro
ceeding. The conference lasted about half
an hour, and when Mr.. Blount reap
pearod, he was asked by the United
Press reporter what he thought of the
news.
BLouNT HAS NOTHING TO SAY.
The late commissioner declared that
lie had not had an opportunity TO look
at the morning papers, and folding into
his usual receptive habit, began to ask
for information. He showed much in
terest in the recital, and his face became
very grave when he was told of the
landing of the British marines. He was
particularly anxious to know how that
had been brought about, but after listen
ing TO all that the reporter had to say,
Mr.. Blount, like the Secretary, declined
to comment upon the news.
1t was very evident, that the landing
Of the British troops has added new
and troublesome factor to an already
complex and delicate situation, and one
that is viewed with grave concern by
the State Department officials.
Secretary Gresham took with him to
the Cabinet meeting this morning, full
copies OF all of the news dispatches that
had been furnished him.
