alton of the Venezuelan question in its en-

is admitted on all hands that such COM
mission could, if so disposed, complete its
labors within two or three months time

the failure to ratify the agreement, and
that it is opposed only by Canadian half

COTTON IN EGYPT,
Interesting Facts in a Report by
Consul General PanReId.

Consul General PanaeId.
United States Consul General Panfield at
Cairo, Egypt. has made a report to the
State Department, which will, from its i'm
portance. be made the subject of a special
publication, calling attention to the rapid
growth of Egypt as a competitor with the
United States for the cotton markets of
the world. He says that his former repre-
sentations appearing to have failed to Sc
cure the attention which the subject de-
mands. he is induced to once more strongly
urge the United States cotton producers to
make efforts to meet this competition. AT
present Egyptian cotton is sold at Alexan
dria fer two cents per bale more than the
price of American cotton, and owing to the
superiority of the Egyptian product 1t is
being purchased In quantities for export to
the United States The sales which ten
years ago amounted to but 3,S15 bales have
increased, until, from the best estimates, it
Is believed that during the year beginning
September !, 1895, no less than $1,000 bales
will be shipped to the United States, and as
these Egyptian bales are 30 per cent larger
than the American bales, the exports to
this country will really amount to 5000
bales according to our standard. Mr.. PAN
field urges that efforts be made by our
planters to grow the Egyptian long staple
cotton In this country, holding that there
must certainly be some portion adopted to
its growth. probably the Mississippi valley
or the BraZos river section in Texas.

The Secretary of War has issued eircu-

vice. in which he says that "as the army is
now closely approaching its maximum
strength, recruiting will be restricted until
further orders to the enlistment Of excep-
tionally desirable recruits and former SOL
diers with good characters who fulifl all
requirements.
The limit to which company may be
recruited is its authorized enlisted strength
less its allotment of men for the regimental
band.
Due care will be exercised by all con-
cerned that companies shall not eNceel the
limit defined in the preceding paragraph
and that regiments shall not be recruited
beyond their authorized strength. But in
cases where recruits arrive at a post IN
numbers sufficient to place companies there
above their limit, they shall not be borne
as unassigned on any returns, but, unless
otherwise specially DIRECTED, shall he at
once assigned to those companies at the
post of the regiment for which they are
intended, v here the first vacancies are to
occur, even though the assignments carry
such companies temporarily above their

American Wnrships.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 1S.-Irving
NJ Scott vice president and general man.
ager of the Union iron works, who has built
some of the best arships in the navy, ex-
presses the belief that although the present
strength of the navy Is not great, there
could be eXtemporized a sufficient fleet to
enable the United States to maintain the
prestige Of the flag. Continuing, he gave
in detail the number of vessels ready and
those which could be readily prepared for
war, saying: I'VE can count on thirty-four
Eow ready, besides six turreted monitors,
six gunboats and two battle ships now being
built, making total of forty-eisht.
Then there are thirteen of the old Erics-
son monitors that could be put in prepara-
ton by having their turret arrangement
removed and two eisht-nch appearing and
disappearing guns placed in barbette in
the old making them very formidable YES
sels in the defense of our bays and harbors."

partment that he will visit Washington in a

tions as to the movements Of the fleet. He
Is expected here tomorrow, but may not

tdon of the movements OF the fleet Will be
held in abeyance until Secretary Herbert

President on the subject The main point
involved is as to the wisdom and -advis-
ability of the exercise of our warships in
Venezuelan waters during the pending cri-
sis with Great Britain with respect to its
territorial rights in that vicinity.
In the absence Of Secretary Herbert it
is understood that Assistant Secretary Nc

With the single exception Of the Cincinnati Il
all the vessels named will be assembled in
Hampton Roads within week, fully pre-
pared to start south on the proposed cruise.
The battle ship Maine was today assigned
to the North Atlantic squadron. This ac-
ticn was based on the report of Commodore
Dewey, president of the naval inspection
board, which has Just concluded q thor

The belief that the message sent to Con-

Mr.. Cleveland, is very generally expressed,
but it is authoritatively declared that this
belief is not founded on fact. The original
