MANUFACTURING IN THE SOUTH
There Are Now 434 Cotton and SS
 WoOlen Mills.

New York, Sept. 22.-The growth of manufacturing interests in the south in the past few years is shown by the fact that there are now in the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis- sissippi, Alabama, Georgia, the Caro- linas and Virginia 434 cotton mills, with 3,451 ,631 spindles and 9O,16S looms, besides seventy-two knitting mills. In 1890 the total number of spindles in the states named was 1.533. .25O, so that the increase since that year has been about 120 per cent. Of the cotton mills, 249, representing about two-thirds of all the spindles and looms, are on the lime of the Southern railway. There are now 52 per cent more spindles on the line of this road than there were in the whole south in 1890, and the greater propor- tion of the increase has occurred in the last three years. The woolen mills of these seven southern states number eighty-eight and are situated as fol lows: Alabama, 2; Georgia, 5; Ken l lucky, IS; Mississippi, 1; North Caro- lima, IS; Tennessee, 25; Virginia, 24 1 About fifteen Of these mills are also cotton or knitting mills. Of the tota.
 nearly one-haf are located on the lint i of the Southern railway, and thest
 include most of the larger ones.

New York Millionaire Disappointed in
 a Storage Battery Concern.
 New York, Sept. 22.-A commercial enterprise has burst, in which were two such we'll known capitalists as John Jacob Astor ad Dr. w. s. Se- ward Webb. The concern was the Samuels Dynamic Accumulation com pany. The company manufactured a storage battery cell, invented by z. Williams. This cell was expected to solve the problem of electrical action. The first test was made on MT. As tors small yacht Progress, and the experts repor:. was so glowing that Mir. Astor at once built a seventy-two foot yacht and gave 1t the suggestive name of Utopian. Dr. Webb had buff fet car No. 66 on the Chicago limited equipped with sixty cells and also arranged to have his private car Els more and his locomotive Nehasene lighted by the same system. Then came more experiments. They were not successful. The Utopian soon went out of commission and Webb's private car. MT.

Captain Murphy Still at Work in h.
 terest of Insurgents.

Boston, Sept 22-Captafn Edward Murphy, who was the commander of the steamers Bermuda and Laurada during the period when they gained great notoriety for alleged fflibuster- ing expeditions to Cuba, has arrived here direct from Port Antonio, on the steamer Barnstable.
 Captain Murphy has ended thirty days in a Jamaica prison for non compliance with the customs regl1Ia- tions at that port while commander of the Laurada.
 In an interview Captain Murphy confirms what has already been given regarding the disposition of the Der muda by seizure and confiscation and the shipping of the crew back to the United States. He further says: My great desire at present is to see Cuba gain her liberty and cut away from the shackles binding her to Spain. It is the height of my ambition to take another party to the shores of Cuba. and if my plans mature, probably in the course of the next few weeks I shall again see the Cuban shore.''

LONDON ENGINEERS.
Compromise Proposition to Settle the
 Great Strike

New York, Sept PA London cable dispatch to the Sun says: MT. William Mather, an ex-member of the house of commons, and managing partner of the great Salford iron works, has written to the Employers Federation and the Amalgamated So- ciety of Engineers making proposals to end the great strike in the engi- neerlng trades, which has been in progress for over two months. Tn erect, Mir. Mather proposes a compro- mise, with mutual agreement that the shifts shall work overtime. The Employers Federation will have the right to decide the question of the employment of machine tools and the labor connected therewith, and Will undertake not to impair the trade unions or to exclude any engineer rom employment because he belongs to the Amalgamated Society.
 The Employers Federation will on Friday consider the proposals. The Daily News says it thinks the em- ployers will accept.
