Now n PiOus Presbyterian.
From the New York Tribune (Rep.)

The ex-King of Benin, who used to
slaughter hundreds of his captives and
subjects to make an Afric holiday, has
turned Presbyterian, and lives piously at
old Calabar, feeding upon the precepts
of the Westminster catechism and mus
ing upon the problems of fate. fore
knowledge and free will. The exercise of
the last named is denied TO him. but he
is a healthy old savage without it, and
does no end of credit to the missionaries
who converted him.

Esterhazy's confession to the forgery of
the famous "bordereau" on which Dreyfus
was convicted would seem to settle the
question of a revision of the case. A de-
cision with regard to the matter is ex-
pected to be reached to-day. According
to Esterhazy, a French soldier is expect
ed to commit any manner of crime which
may be considered necessary for the sake
of "honor."

CURRENT COMMENT.
Ash "snrnlusv Cron.
From the New Orleans Picayune Dem.).

The true policy to follow is undoubtedly
for the South to produce all the cotton
shat can be produced as a surplus crop.
Farmers should produce their supplies at
home as much as possible, and conse-
quently, devote a portion of their time
and acreage to food crops. In that way
cotton could be grown very cheaply, and
would be profitable even at the low prices
which have ruled for more than a year
past

Mr. William Waldorf Astor insists that
he is still an American, Notwithstanding
his residence in England. His name ap
peared recently in a list of English vot-
ers on account of his ownership of Give
den, and he wrote a letter of protest TO
the electoral court asserting that he was
an American, and as such his name was
enormously on the list of voters.

THE SOUTH NOT A LARGE BOR-
ROVER

The South is not large borrower now
of New York. Directly after the civil war
there was very little currency in the
South and very few banks Steadily. how
ever, the wealth of the South has grown
in volume, and the number of banks has
increased. The business of the express
companies in carrying currency from New
York at the beginning OF each cotton sea-
son has fallen off until now 1t is insig-
nifcant in comparison to what it once was.
This condition of affairs means that the
time is not far distant when the South
will have a great deal more capital than
she will need for moving crops and trans
acting her ordinary business affairs.
When that time comes the period of the
South's true development will begin For
the last quarter of century or more the
South has been depending upon the North
10 furnish the money to build her facto-
ries and railroads and to develop her
mines. When she has capital of her own
to do these things her development will
be much more rapid. Money will be
cheaper, and consequently business under
takings. which do moi appear now to be
profitable, will command attention. The
vacant lands viii be taken up, mines now
neglected, will be worked. and factories
of nearly all kinds will be built.
A thing that should be discouraged, how
ever, is the dealing in cotton futures.
Ever since the civil war cotton futures
have annually taken millions of dollars
out Of the South. For some reason or 9TH
er cotton planters and those who handle
the cotton crop at the ports and interior
points cannot resist dealing in futures,
and, a rule, they are on the wrong
side Of the market before they realize on
their holdings. If this tendency in the
South to speculate in cotton could be re-
strained, it would not be long before the
banks Of New York would make no money
out Of the South by lending her money.
Even the state, county and municipal
bonds would be owned at home.

SMOKELESS POWDER
Spanish Ships Have the Advantage
in this Respect, but by June
We Will Be Well Supplied.

Washington, May Am the different
comparisons of the fighting strength of
the American and Spanish navies one adj
vantage that Spain has over the United
States could have been Obviated had con-
greSS two years ago followed the urgent
adviceS of the secretary of the navy.
Spain has full supply of smokeless pow
der on hand, and everyone of her armored
cruisers, torpedo boat deStroyerS and tor
pedo boats has it's magazines well sup
piled with the best variety manufactured
abroad.
This government has not enough now on
hand to supply the squadrons at sea, and
but one ship with Admiral Sampson 3
command is provided with it. All the
others have the brown priSmatic powder,
a variety capable of good work, but lack
ing the velocity producing qualities of the
smokelesS brand. Brown powder also Gre
ates clouds of smoke, and in a battle,
where the smoke usually hangs low over
the water, this might place the United
States ships at some disadvantage. While
the guns of the Spanish navy are inferior
to those of similar type and calibre in our
navy, the officials seem to think the use
of smokeleSS powder will in part make
up the difference in their effectiveness.
Lack of smokeless powder has it's COM
penSationS, however. If the smoke pre-
vents our officers from sighting the Span
tards it will act equally well for US,
they maintain, by shutting our ships from
the view of the enemy. No battle has
yet been fought on the seas with smoke

SALES OF PRINT CLOTH.
There May be Curtailments at Other
Fall River Mills


Fall River. Mass, May 4.-Manufac-
turers are earnestly discussing the cur
tailment of production today, the i'm
petus being given by the news of the
four weeks curtailment to begin Mon
day at the Iron Works mills. AS one Of
the results of that action, print cloths
dropped in price today to 1 per cent less
than cents a yard. There is no active
trading to speak of. except in some lines
of odds for buntings and flags, and the
prices for these are not much above the
print cloth basis.
There is a general feeling that there
will be individual curtailment in sew
eraI of the mills, but the officers of the
will not be able to bring about any gen.
eraI agreement to curtan. The action
of the owner of the Iron Works Mills
is wholly independent of the association
although it is now known that he ex-
pressed a desire to enter any agreement
that might have been made some weeks
ago.
His mills are not wound up to manu-
facture the ordinary run of odd grades
sold to converters for hundreds of pur-
poses besides printing and he already
has a large stock Of print cloths on
hand.
The stock of goods in this market is
not evenly distributed among the mills,
some of them holding more than 100, 900
pieces, while others have less than 5000
pieces.
The mills that have been selling freely
are not disposed to curtan production,
unless it appears later that a great
many outside mills also curtail. Word
was received here from some Providence
manufacturers today to the effect that
shut down of their own accord, regard
less of the action of Fall River mills.

English Naval Experts View on
DeweY's Victory.

London, May 4.-Lieutenant Colonel
Philip Howard Colomb, retired, the in
ventor of an improved system for
signalling at sea and the author of
number of naval works, in an interview
on the subject, of the splendid victory
of the United States fleet at Manila, is
quoted as saying: 81 doubt if there
ever was such an extraordinary illus
tration of the influence of sea power.
en- Spanish fleet supported by bat
teries and as it now appears, has pass
ed their batteries and taken up an I'M
assailable position off Manila.
1.-THE holiness of the American COM
mander is beyond question. Hence
forth he must be placed in the list of
great naval commanders. Nothing can
detract from the dash and vigor of the
American exploit or dim the glory
which Dewey has shed upon the Amer
lean navy. 1t may be bad for the
world, for assuredly the American navy
will never accept a subordinate place
after this exhibition of what it can do. ="
