THE Seattle Times gives a sensa-
tional heading to an article on the
cotton spinning industry, charging
the "gold standard with being respon-
sible for the change" that is, the con-
dition now existing in New England
However, the article itself does not
corroboratc the heading; it shows that
the cheaper power aud labor of the
South and contiguity to the supply
of raw material has brought the
change-the southern mills flourish
ing while the New England concerns
are forced to reduce wages in order to
continue competition.-Ledger.

AMERICANS AND DIAMONDS.
They Buy More Than the People of
Europe.


Europe.
1t claimed that Americans buy more
diamonds than any other people, They
have always worn more, and at all
times of day, in and out of season, so
they were reproach to their English
cousins in the early days of social inter-
course. But American women's dia-
mond earrings worn early in the morn
ing, though decried by conservative
Britishers, had the power to change
the standard of dress. Ridiculed as
they were, the Americans won the day,
and soon European danes began to
wear their jewels in the street and on
all possible occasions. A craze for dia-
monds spread over society, and not
only family heirlooms but much new
Jewelry employing these once rare
stones, and bought dirt cheap, became
feature of the daily toilette. Of
course, when fashion took a hand in
the business, the diamond market
doomed and syndicates talked very
loud and big of the fields where the
sparklers bloomed perennially. The
real gem entailed the imitation, and
rhlnestones, as well as the almost-im-
possible-to-detect paste from the Rue
de la PAX and the Palais Royale have
had tremendous vogue, but, as de-
mand increases supply, the diamond
syndicates were equal to the occasion,
and real stones could be purchased
FOR a little more than the false ones.
Fiie result has been that everybody
has worn some sort of diamond. In
this country the craze has grown into
cult. Tiaras CLEAN on the brows of
the wives of millionaires. Necklaces
worth a princes ransom are bought bv
anybody who has money to pay for
them. Brooches, pins, bracelets, starred
with the gems, are SO common a woman
must plaster herself with them to be
observed. Every girl Just engaged"
exhibits diamond ring, and it has de-
veloped vein of humor, if not a new
class Of joke, that much envied gage
damour. The nice young man who
pollshes your boots for a nickel wears
q diamond in a not too fresh neck
scarf, and the gentlemanly car con-
ductor is not above ornamenting his
little finger with an off co2ored African
stone! In fact, where there is the least
excuse for jewelry, one may be certain
the preference will be given to the dia-
mond kind.

NORTON STATES HIS SIDE.
Says the Report of His Remarks
Was a Garbled One.

BOSTON (Mass). July 1S.-Professor
Charles Elliot Norton, formerly OIL
Harvard College, in reply TO senator
Hoar, who attacked the Professor IN
an address recently at the opening OF
the Clark University Summer School'
made public to-day a statement III
which he said that Senator Hoar
criticism was based on garbleC SEN
tences from an account in a western
newspaper of an interview with FRO
fessor Norton, dishonorably obtained
and incorrectly reported.
Professor Norton added: II did say
to the youth of this university that
this war with Spain was inglorious'
and as it was for the Accomplishment
of ends unnecessary to US as a natlon,
it was needless and consequently
criminal; that all Americans held their
lives at the service of their country,
but that they should carefully consider
whether the best use they could make
of themselves in her service was to
enlist in such a war. / see no reason
to change these opinions and this ad-
vice.
HOAR'S REPLY.
WORCESTER (Mass), July 1S.-Up-
on receipt of a reply from Professor
Charles Elliot Norton to his recent crit
icism of Professor Norton's utterances
before Harvard University students in
regard to the war, Senator Hoar to-day
made public letter, in which he says
to Professor Norton:
Whether they are literally presented
or not they are in general accord, l
am sorry to say, with the sentiments
l am constantly in the habit of hearing
of as coming from you, both in public
utterance and private speech, and a
style with which / used to be not un-
familiar when / occasionally met you.
All lovers of Harvard and all lovers
of the country have felt for a long
time that your relations to the uni
versity made your influence bad for the
college and bad for the youth of the
country 1t was high time that some
body should say what / have said. /
could easily from my own memory
and from the report of persons who
have met you on social occasions, point
of severe reproof as those to which I
have adverted. / am afraid that the
habit of bitter and sneering speech
about persons and public affairs has
50 grown upon you that you do not
yourself know always what you say.
1 should be sorry to do you any in
justice Indeed, it is not in anybody s
power to do you injustice but your
self"

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-A State
paper that will be historic, marking
an epoch in American history, was is
sued tonight by direction of Presi-
dent Mckinley 1t provides in general
terms for the government of the prov
ince of Santiago de Cuba, and is the
first document Of the kind ever pre-
pared by a President of the United
States. BY order of Secretary Alger,
Adjutant General Corbin tonight ca
bled the document to General Shafter,
in command of the military forces at
Santiago. The paper is not only an
authorization and instruction to Gen
eral Shafter for the government of the
captured territory, but also a procla-
nation to the people of the territory
of the intentions of the Government of
the United States regarding them and
their interests. 1t marks the formal
establishment of a new political power
in the island Of Cuba, and insures to
the people Of the territory over which
the power extends absolute security
in the exercise of their private rights
and relations as well as security to
their persons and property. The full
text of the document is as follows
Adjutant Generals Office, Washington,
July IS, 1898.
General Shafter, Santiago, Cuba: The
following is sent you for your informa-
tion and guidance. 1t will be pub
lshed in such manner in both English
and Spanish as will give it the widest
circulation in the territory under your
control:
Executive Mansion, Washington Cd
c., July 18th.
To the Secretary of War-Sir: The
capitulation of the Spanish forces in
Santiago de Cuba and in the eastern
part of the province Of Santiago, and
the occupation of the territory by the
forces of the United States, render it
necessary to instruct the military COM
mander of the United States as to the
conduct which he is to observe during
military occupation.
The first effect of the military occu-
patton Of the enemy's territory is the
severance of the former political re-
lations of the inhabitants and the es-
tablishment of a new political power.
Under this changed condition of things,
the inhabitants, so long as they per-

men who might attempt to enter the
mine The Penwell premises and roads
leading thereto were crowded with sew
eral hundred union miners and their
wives. The deputies and police tried
vainly to disperse the crowds, and a

KENNEY RESTS HIS CASE.
Government Presents Some Strong
Testimony in Rebuttal.

WILMINGTON Del), July 1S.-The
defense rested it's case to-day in the
trial of Senator Kenney, and the Gov
ernment began testimony in rebuttal.
William n. Boggs was called, and tes-
titled to discrepancies in the statement
of Senator Kenney as to Boggs' re-
sources in 1896.
j. H. Bateman, formerly cashier of
the bank, was called and asked if any
order had ever been issued by him in
reference to overdrafts by Senator Ken
ney Bateman stated that he had is
sued special orders to Boggs not to al
low overdrafts in the accounts of Ken
ney and others. When pressed for his
reason for issuing the order witness
said Kenney used to show disposition
to use the funds of the bank somewhat
too freely.
