COTTON-MILL SITUATION.
New EnRlander on Excellence of
Southern Advantages.

BOSTON, MASS, February st. JEFF
ferson Coolidge, treasurer of the Amos
keag mills of Manchester has returned
from a trip to Florida. lie says Of the
general mill situation:
ION the maintenance of the reduction
in wages depends the existence of the
New England mills, and striking against
a reduction is a mistake on the part of
the operatives, who are attempting to
kill the goose that lays the golden egg.
If the mill hands desire to be out of en-
ployment, they are taking the right
course in striking.
Nearly all of the southern mills are
prosperous. The biggest mills are earn
ing large dividends, but are rarely paying
per cent, as they are reserying their
excess profits TO increase their quick cap
ital.
"The southern mills get some adyan-
tage from cheap coal and cheaper cotton.
but the wage question is the greatest
factor in their favor. il 1t were not for
the lower wages paid in the South, our
mills could compete with them without
trouble.
Southern mills, having been built later,
are superior TO the average northern mill.
The best southern operatives turn out
lust as much work as the northern ope-
ratives, and are just as intelligent"

TREASURY CASH SHORT 1850.
A Five-Months' Count OF silver Dol
Inrs-A DarLy's Theft.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. February s.
recount of the Treasury cash, which
was completed late this afternoon. dis
closed a shortage Of 1858. The recount
was made necessary by the appointment
in June Of Mr.. Ellis Fl. Roberts as United
States Treasurer, in place OF Mr.. ID. n.
Morgan, and was begun on July 1st. Since
that time about 1851 100000 In cash has
been counted.
No errors or shortages Of Importance
were discovered until the Treasury Com
mission had begun work in Silver Vault
No. /, in which there are N0l,653,OO stand
ard dollars. A coloredt man named Mar
tin, employed as a laborer, was one day
discovered in the coal and wood base
ment under suspicious circumstances, and
a search resulted in the finding OF
number of silver dollars, which, presum-
ably. he had distracted from some Of
the bags. Martin was arrested and made
a confession, admitting that he had taken
s2S. for which he had substituted lead.
The court imposed a fine OF $50 and Mar
tin was released.
This admission cast suspicion upon the
entire contents Of the vault, and a count
by handling each individual piece was
ordered. On September 10th, twenty
eight expert counters, and a force OF
laborers and verifiers, under the direction
of Mr.. G.. c. Bance. assistant cashier,
began the work of counting the contents
of the vault. The time employed. there
fore, was nearly five months, the count
ers working eight hours each day.
The shortage of 1853 Will be made good
by Mr.. Morgan, the retiring Treasurer.
1t Is probable, however, as he has done
in similar cases, that Congress will make
an appropriation in Mr.. Morgans favor,
covering the amount.

BERLIN. February 5.-The freedom
which the. Reichstag and the Prussian
Diet conceded this week to the Agra
rians, who formulated numerous wishes
and complaints. is significant. The Minis
ter Of Agriculture, Baron Won Hammer
stein-Loxten, promised that the govern
ment would meet as many OF their de-
mands as possible.
At the moment no was making this
declaration. measures were preparing to
stop the importation OF American fruit,
and the decree in that connection had
already been issued.
The entire Liberal Press openly disap-
proves of the policy, and asserts 1t was
government trick to obtain the vote OF
the Agrarians for Emperor Williams
naval bill.
The leading commercial journals point
to the ill-will and indignation such mea-
sures are bound to produce in America,
and to tho futility of prohibiting the i'm
portation of an article Germany does not
produce with sufficiency. The newspapers
claim that the only result would be that
fruit would be imported from the south
of Europe at a higher cost than Is now
being paid for American fruit.
ONLY FORERUNNERs.
Several of the newspapers express the
opinion that the decree will not be perma-
nent. and that It was only intended as a
temporary act of retaliation for Ameri-
can treatment Of German sugar. Inquiry
made at the Foreign Office and at the
Prussian Agricultural Department how
ever, shows the steps taken TO be only
forerunners of others OF more Importance
the government having concluded that
something must be done to crafty the
Agrarian demand for retaliation on the
United States. There was an exempli-
fcation Of this view in the Reichstag on
Tuesday, when DR.. Hahn. friend OF
Prince Bismarcks, demanded the prohi-
bition of American horses. claiming that
the imports had increased in 1897 to 4,279,-
900 marks, and that something must be
done "to show those overbearing Ameri-
cans that an energetic German Govern
ment exists" The feeling Of the Cabi-
net is gaugeabe by the declaration made
yesterday by the Minister of Agriculture,
Baron Won Hammerstein-Loxte In the
Diet, who declared that American horses
developed influenza after Importation.
y PRINCE RELENTS.
1t is said Prince Macmillan, of Baden,
who has hitherto fatty refused to marry,
will shortly be betrothed to Princess Pau
line of Wurtemberg, in whose honor
Emperor Francis Joseph, gave a big court
ball a week ago.

THOSE SPANISH TORPEDO-BOATs.
Their Coming Long Contemplated
Their Mercbant-Ship Convoy.

WASHINGTON. February 6.--At the
Spanish Legation no significance is at
tached to the sending OF a merchant ship
along with the torpedo fiotilla which is
about TO cross the Atlantic. 1t is said
at the legation that the sending OF the
torpedo-boats has been contemplated for
a long time, and has been repeatedly an
nounced through the press. They are,
however, small craft 10 undertake the
hardship of an ocean voyage, and 1t rs
essential that they be accompanied by a
larger vessel to serve as a transport for
extra supplies, particularly coal, which
the tiny craft cannot carry in sufficient
quantities for q long voyage
The merchant vessel will serve merely
as transport. She belongs TO a mer-
chant company having a large number
OF ships, 50 that one Of them can be
readily spared for this service. All OF
these ships belong TO the auxiliary navy,
and are subject TO call at any time. The
one now being brought into service is a
small affair, by no means formidable. and
useful mainly for carrying supplies.

sLossoN AGAINST sCHAEFER.
The New Game of 1s-Inch BaIk-Line

NEW YORK, February 5.-Nearly every
billiard enthusiast of note I'm this city
and vicinity was at Madison Square Con-
cert Hall tonight. TO witness the contest
between George Slosson, the champion
billlard-player, and Jake Schaefer, Of
Chicago. who met there TO decide who
was the better player at the newly
formed game of 1S-inch balk-line billiards.
The intricacies of the wide baik-line
game were never made more apparent
than I'm to-night's game. Each man was
on his mettle, but the slowness OF the
scoring in the game made it evident that
the lS-inch balk-line. with its condition
of one shot in space, is one calculated to
puzzle the most expert players.
At the end of the fiftieth inning, the
score stood: Shaefer. $40; Slosson, 1924.
