The American Wool md Cotton re.
porter publishes some interesting statis-
tics concerning new ventures in the tex.
tile industries during the first six
months of the present year. 1t appears
that the construction of 11G new mills
was undertaken in the first half of 1894.
Comparison is made with the first half
of 1893, when the number was 1877.
lnasmuch as the first months of last year
were free from the influence Of panic
depression, ii is rather surprising that
the number Of new undertakings in the
first quarter of this year CD should
have been less by only six than the
number in the corresponding months of

According to the New York Tribune,
the mosquito is unusually ubiquitous
and energetic this season, but, FORUM
ately for our people, Wilmington has
thus far been troubled as little by mos
quitoes as by Anarchists So that our
citizens can read with more entertain
ment than concern the following pro-
duction OF tho Tribunes chronological
editor: "llcporls of him from various
quarters indicate that the mosquito is
particularly abundant and virulent this
year, and that he appears to possess
more legs and stings aud a sultrier mid
night hum than usual. There is no
chronological gauge by which the pre-
else pressure Of the mosquito in given
localities can be determined, and the
matter is necessarily left to guesswork;
but there seems no doubt that the
present season is particularly favorable
to the insect, and that its operations
upon the summer boarder as upon other
unprotected classes of society arc DIS
tinguished by unusual directness and
energy, A Western professor Of con.
lecture and surmise associates the heavy
crop Of mosquitoes with the prevalence
of the plague in China, and thinks it
may follow the hum of the exasperat.
ing and multitudinous creature across
the Pacific. Remote phenomena arc
sometimes mysteriously connected with
each other, as the solar suuspots with
mundane earthquakes, but there is no
good, reason to accept the theory of the
Western seer, that because mosquitoes
are thick at Hackensack and Bradley
Beach and along the coast, as well as in
Maine and Alabama and on the Pacific
slope, they are the precursors of pesti-
lence, or anything else except the
minute and annoying phlebotomists

Chairman Wilson's speech on Satur-

Senate amendments to the Tariff bill,
says the New York Egening Post, was
quiet and dignified in tone, but indi-
Gates with unmistakahle clearness his
intention to stand firmly Tor the main
features of the House bill. What these
are he left not at all uncertain. They
are free raw materials and ad yalorem
taxes. Many of the Senate's swarm Of
amendments are, as Mr.. Wilson adj
mitted, unimportant; but those which
take raw materials off the free list and

trayal of party and surrender of prin-
ciple. Chairman Wilson was well
within the truth in saying that the bill
as it passed the House was more con.
sentative than the sentiment of the
party and the country warranted and
demanded. To give up any essential
part Of that now would be to lose, and
to deserve TO lose, what little respec. tho
party has left it. The House conferecs
cannot be too exigent and unyielding in
their demands on the Senate. They
ought to keep constantly in mind that
what they have to fight is reallya small
clique Of distrusted and discredited
Democratic Senators. The majority of
the Senate saw fit to give in to this band
of strikers, but it is to be hoped that the
House will hold higher tone with the
Gormanites, They will surrender at
discretion if met III open warfare.

The Cyphrenes had her bows driven
right into the foremast and the water
rushed In at terrible rate. The ship was
% badly damaged that she sank within
three hours after the collision. Tho cap
tain and crew Of the Cyphrenes at first
made every effort to save her, but found
that her injuries were too great and
launched the boats.

got aboard La Flandre, and the vessel
made for this port. Besides the other
damage to La Flandre there are holes In
