Gently: AN American cotton dealer
soio me a few days ago that he had

cheap In japan and we can manufacture
cotton cloth there at q comparatively
small expenditure. We find ready
market for the made product In China
ana Corea, where the bulk OF the people
are 30 poor that they are Obliged to
wear cotton cloths.
The growth of mills in japan has
been very rapid OF late, and the SUPER
iorlty OF the raw materials Of this couh.
try over that obtained from India snd
China, has created q great desire on
the part Of my countrymen to get raw
cotton from the United States by dome
route that would obviate the nece5sity
OF paying tribute to England for the
privilege. Not only have we a ready
market for cotton cloth in China land
Corea, but look to see the m ade bro
quot returned to this country and bold
at profit. The chespness of Labor In
japan will render this possible"
X. M. Levy, member of the New

cotton interests in the South, and who
has spent much time in New OrleanA
WAS seen at the Hotel Savoy and wae,
not surprised at Mr.. Hassiguichis re-
marks. MIR. Levy showed dispatch he
had recently received from New Orleans
that ran as follows: Japan is buyinR
cotton at this port" Mr.. Levy said:
This indicates tina. Japan has placed
representative at New Orleans to look
after her interests in the purchase of
raw cotton You know that all the great
european nations have agents at New
Orleans to take care of their respective
interests In the cotton crop OF the
South.
Hitherto no Oriental ma tion 81 has had
an agent at New Orleans. but there Is no
doubt that Japan with her wide,awake
tendencies, has seen the necessity Of
placing representative at the great
cotton market Of the South. Cotton has
been shipped to Japan by way OF Liver
pool for some years past, but 1t has been
done quietly and little has been said in
the newspapers regarding it. l am in
clined to think that the ambition of
japan to take rank as q great commer~
ctal nation will have very marked in
huence on the prosperity OF our cotton
growing States"

ABANDONED BY PARENTS
Baby Girl Drugged with Paregoric
and Left in a Hotel.
Man and woman, with the Infant,
Came from BaltimoretoR Rid Them
selves of Her.

A tiny blue-eyed baby girl was an un-
hidden guest at the hotel OF MessrS. Rodier
and Gallagher, on Sixth street opposite the
Pennsylvania depot, Saturday after
noon. Scarcely two months had passed
over her tiny head, when, deserted by
cruel parents, she was left to the tender
mercies of strangers.
Friday night a well-dressed couple en-
tered the hotel, about half past 10 o'clock,
and registered as j. d. Helper and Wife,
Baltimore. The woman was carrying the
baby in her arms. They were assigned to
a room and spent the night there.
About II O'Clock Saturday forenoon the
woman requested the chambermaid to
take charge of the infant while they went
out, as she said, shopping. The girl
consented TO look after the little one, and
it was turned over to her and the man and
woman sailed forth
At two O'Clock the man returned to
the hotel, and got his two valises from
the clerk. He went out aud when he
reached the corner OF Sixth and Pennsyl-
vania avenue the woman was waiting
for him.
Together they boarded a Fourteenth
street cable car, east bound, aud it is
supposed that they went direct to the
left the city.
A short time after the man left with
his two grips, the girl discovered that
the parents had left and that the child
was suffering from an overdose of pare
goric The proprieters of the hotel at
once became suspicious, aud Policeman
Elliott of the Sixth precinct was called in.
He very quickly decided that the two peo-
pie desired 10 rid themselves OF the infant,
and the matter was communicated TO police
headquarters 1t was finally decided that
the best thing to DO would be to send the
little founding to ST. AIMS Infant Asylum,
and accordingly the wagon W as sent for and
the baby took its first ride in the police
patrol.
When il reached the asylum it was given
medical attention, and was getting along
very nicely last night No trouble is antici-
pated from the overdose of drug admin

TROOPERS BACK IN TOWN
Their Only Regret, That Their
March Is Ended.
SCENES In THE LAST CAMP
Visitors from the City Treated to
Duckings in the Creek Even Lieut..
Rennie and DR.. Birdsall Were Not
Spared-Sergt. Springman's Meet
Ing with His Old Sweetheart.

Drowned by wind and sun, with dusty
uniforms but gay, and clipper and erect
in the saddles like veteran riders in tile
wars the Presidents Troop rode along
Pennsylvania avenue, Saturday after
noon, cheered and welcomed by admiring
mutitudes, as they returned from the fif-
teen days march through Virginia
The last camp was made on Friday night
was, according to Capt. Barbour's account,
the most picturesque OF all. No tents were
pitched, the men bivouackiug under the
trees or on logs. as best suited their fancy
The stay-at-homes who paid a flying
visit to the boys in camp were treated TO
surprise after supper. The white faces
or the visitors We're in striking contrast
with the sunburnt visages Of the troopers
who had performed the duty of regulars
during the march and it seemed hard that
the new recruits from the city should
enjoy the same privileges as the vet
erans"
Consequently a scheme was concocted
to initiate the raw recruits into the mys-
terles OF cavalry service. A point in the
creek near the cookhouse was selected as
the place wherein to battle aud color the
gentlemen from the Capital City and not
withstanding numerous protestations from
the visitors they Were ducked in the
water.
The hilarious troopers went further
than this, for although they had no griev-
ances against either Dr. Birdsall or
Lieut.. Rennie, they insisted upon giving
them a bath also. The plan was carefully
carried out, and as soon as each victim was
tied with a rope there We're forty willing
hands ready at the other ends TO quickly
land him into the deepest part OF the
creek.
The march willever be memorable oneto
Sergt. Springmann, for it revives within
him sweet memories of the long ago
The troop reached Georgetown at about
3 p. m, and from there made a quick
march TO the city
Ashley movcddownP pennsylvania avenue,
they had all the appearance of regulars.
They all showed plainly their exposure to
the weather, but the precision with which
they moved along in columns Of fouTs told
that instructions in cavalry tactics had not
been neglected during the march.
The march has been most sucCessful; the
route long; the men are all hearty and in
fine spirits; no complaints are made of the
treatment of either men or horses, and the
only thing the troopers regret about their
trip is that il is ended
