Italy,s Cotton Manufactures.

The growth of the cotton industry In
Lombardy, according to consular re-
ports. has been remarkable-that is,
the mum Der of spindles in Italy is stat
ed to be nearly 100000 also some
10000 power looms, besides very
large number of hand looms; and OF all
these about half are credited to Lom-
hardy, and, as large proportion OF
the spinning mills work day and night
the spindles may be calculated as
equivalent to 100000 in countries
where only day work prevails. All
kinds of raw cotton are used, but chiefly
Indian and American of medium quail
ity. Until recently the yarns were
almost entirely confined to the lower
counts, even the general average being
20,s to 22's, but many spinners are
turning their attention to the inner
counts, which have hitherto been I'M

GEORGE +. Packer, although considered

made survey himself to determine the

the river lands, and wanted the cooper.

the canal. He opposed both the Colusa

city, the water began to come with
force into the reservoir. 1t gushed TO,
awhile, when one Of the smaller parts
of the engine became clogged, and it
was stopped for arrangement. Just
then, as all stood still, there was a
splash and wild shout came from
those who had climbed upon the edge
of the reservoir. All rushed up and
found Mr.. Stice, of Red Bluff, who is
here buying fruit, foundering around
in the water, having lost his balance
and tumbled in. There was much mer-
riment at his expense, and it had a
healthy action on the crowd. bringing
laughter and good will all around.
Again, the engines started, and fore
ing 1900 gallons to the minute, the
great reservoir was soon overlooking,
and all pronounced it the grandest of
successes.
The success of Mr.. Packers enter
prise will show conclusively that it
will be immensely profitable to irrigate
even wheat lands that are at all favor
ably situated. Who would not give a
sack of wheat an acre for the privilege
of 10 inches of water at will? 1t would
make difference, one year with an
other, Of five to ten sacks; there need
be no summa -fallowing. A certain
crop every year. But then there comes

sugar beets.
This plant was put in for Mr.. Packer

pany informs us that this was an in
ducement and that another would come

MET WITH A HEAVY LOSS
BRITISH TROOPS DEFEATED IN AN
ATTACK ON TRIBEsMEN.
Forces of General Blood Reiterated
With Men Falling All Along
the Route.

Camp Anayat, via Pankajora, Sept. Is.
Severe fighting has taken place between
the second brigade of General Sir Bindon
Blood's division and the Mohmonds. The
British loss was 140 killed and wounded.
The brigade was moved out to attack
the Mohmonds in the valley north of the
camp, to punish them for the assault
Tuesday night upon the force of General
Jeffreys, at the foot of Pawat pass The
Bengal lancers found the enemy en-
trenched on the hills about eight miles
distant. The Thirty-fifth Sikhs was or
dered to make the attack. The regiment
was supported by four guns of a noun
tain battery and by six companies OF
the Bluffs. The Sikhs drove the enemy
into the hills, but eventually fell back
upon the Bluffs before superior numbers,
The enemy then advanced against the
left flank, drove back the cavalry and
surrounded a company of Sikhs. The
cavalry charged brilliantly and relieved
the Sikhs, and the guides, coming up,
swept the enemy back. The force halted
for some time. destroying the enemy's
towers, and then retired. A company OF
Sikhs on the hills to the right was hard
pressed and was running short of am
munition, when the general officer COM
handing moved the guides forward to
the relief, which was CALAMITY accom-
plished.
The guides carried the wounded Sikhs
back and executed the withdrawal in
good order, though the enemy pressed
them hard. Darkness ciLme on before the
force reached camp and the guides, with
General Jeffreys and his escort of Bluffs
became separated from the column, which
passed them in the gloom. General JEFF
freys remained with the guns and took
up position in the village. Meanwhile
the enemy occupied part of the village
and the force not being strong enough to
expel them, they had inflicted consider
able loss on the little party before Major
Wortlidge, with two companies, each
composed of Sikhs and guides, came up
and compelled them to retire.
A large body of cavalry and the Thir-
ty-eighth Degras left the camp and
brought in the whole detachment.
Lieutenant Hughes and Lieutenant
Crawford were killed.

home place, the largest gasoline pump
ing plant in existence, which will be
used for pumping water from the river
with which to irrigate several hundred
acres of land.
This plant consists of an 80-horse
power, horizontal single cylinder, Her
cules engine and Krogh Manufactur-
ing Com pany's 15-inch centrifugal
pump, guaranteed to raise 5000 gal
Ions of water per minute 81 feet high.
There is also smaller pump of 400 gal
Ions minute capacity driven by the
same engine. This is for tank purposes.
The engine is arranged to use either
gasoline or distillate oil, and as the lat
ter is very cheap it will no doubt be
the fuel selected for use. The 2O-lnch
suction pipe, made of No. 10 steel,
passes through the levee, on an incline,
into the river, and at its lower end is
large foot valve weighing 1900
pounds.
A 20-inch discharge pipe carries the
water from the pump to head box 20
feet square and feet high. For the
foundation of the machinery an excava-
ton was made and filled with concrete.
The first test made showed much
larger pumping capacity than the con-
tract called for, the flow of water ex-
ceeding 1900 gallons minute or 49,
900 gallons an hour, or 10, 1858, 900 gal
Ions per day of "a hours enough water

ingly small cost of the fuel, it being

PERSONNEL COMPLETED
MONETARY COMMISSION TO con-
SLIDER THE CURRENCY.
To Consider Data and Listen to Eek.
perts From All Parts of
the World.

indianapolis, Sept. lS.-Hugh Hanna,
chairman Of the monetary executive COM
mittee announces the completion of the
commission, acceptance having been re-
ceiyed from Louis A. Garrett of San
Francisco and j. L. Laughlin of Chicago
Prof. Laughlin is one of the best known
political economists of the country, and
during the past few years his writings
upon financial questions have attracted
worldwide attention. He was for many
years president of the Manufacturers In
surance Company of Philadelphia, and
there made record as a careful, conser-
vative and successful business man. He
left this position to take the chair of po-
litical economy in the Chicago university
some years ago, and has since BEEN en-
gagged in that work.
Mr.. Garnett is regarded as the most
eminent authority on the Pacific coast on
matters of finance and currency. He or
ganized the service of the San Francisco
mint, and served many years in it. At
the colse of this service he spent some
years abroad in travel and study of finan-
cial and economic questions. Returning
to San Francisco, he organized the great
reduction works known as the Selby
smelter, with which he has since been
connected. He has made valuable con-
tributions to the literature of finance, and
is much consulted by the large business
interests of the Pacific slope. Eeither he
nor Prof Laughlin are men of wealth,
and in consenting to serve upon the COM
mission, none of whose members are COM
pensated, they make a considerable per
sonal sacrifice.
The commission, as completed by these
appointments, is composed as follows: Ex-
Senator George F. Edmunds of Vermont,
Charles S. Fairchild Of New York, ex-
secretary of the treasury; @. Stewart Pat
terson of Philadelphia, who was presi-
dent of the monetary convention last
January; j. w. Fries of Salem, N. c., at
the head of the great cotton industry that
bears his name; I. G. Bush of Annistoii,
Ala, president of the Mobile & Birming-
ham railroad, and largely interested in
iron in Alabama; George E. Luston of st.
Louis, retired manufacturer; w. B. Dean
of st. Paul, wholesale hardware mer-
chant; R. F. Taylor of Fort Wayne, law
yer; Louis Garnett of San Francisco,
Prof. J. L. Laughlin of Chicago, and
Stuyvesant Fish of New York.

AN INCREASE OF BUSINESS.
Further Rising Tide of Demand for
Iron and Steel Products.

New York, Sept. Is. - Bradstreets
says:
Notwithstanding unreasonable weather
and the appearance of yellow fever in
several gulf states, checking locally the
distribution of merchandise, business
throughout the country has increased
more than anticipated. The center OF
improvement is Chicago, which furnishes
the most favorable trade review. Ad-
vices from Kansas City, Omaha, st. Paul
and st. Louis also reflect activity in de-
mand among jobbers and wholesalers.
There is a temporary stimulus to bust
ness at Savannah owing to the withdraw
al of competition from merchants at
towns cut off by the fever quarantine.
Chattanooga, Memphis, Atlanta, Angus
ia, Galveston and even st. Louis antici-
pate temporary falling off in business
owing to the interruption of traffic in the
gulf states and adjoining territory. The
principal settlement of the bituminous
coal strike, further rising tide of de-
mand for iron and steel products, the
withdrawal from the market of some
manufactures of woolens, extraordinary
large bank clearings and reports that
mercantile collections have improved, con-
stitute the features of the week.
