mills) 2, Rhode IslaTd and New York each 1. The Icoms in these five states number 172, with 39,S40 spindles. The southern mills, therefore, show gain of $500 looms over the new northern mills and 8 gain of 216,940 in the number of spindles.
 These figures show concIusively the drift Of the cotton business to the south. The number of new cotton mills this year will probably fall be- hind the number built Ur put under way in 1897, but there will be some. The time seems to be coming when all of the cheaper grades of cotton goods will be made exclusively in the south, although there is nothing to prevent the manufacture there of the highest grades.

The Silver Belt still mainta ns that the mining interests Of Arizona were not represented at the miners con ventf0n recently held in this city. In this position the Silver Belt stands alone. Not even the Courier Or Buckley have been idiotic enough to make such claims. If the home rule joker had succeeded, the Silver Belt would now be telling what a great success the convention was. The mining in- dustry of Arizona in which that pa per profssses to feel so great an inter est is evidently a secondary considera- tiOn when compared to preaching pop uhsm and anarchy. This last small boy play enacted by the Silver Belt is more ridiculous than previous ef- forts; but then there is TO account ing for the antics of a fossil or freak. They are alone in the.r fr- responsibility and ridiculousness.

l. will be seen that the number of woolan, silk and miscellaneous mills respectively has increased, while the cotton and knitting mills have de- creased in number as compared with 1896. There was an increase of twen- ty-three in all kinds of mills ever the year 1896. If the increase in cotton and knitting plants had been, as great in proportion as the other mills the showing for 1897 would have been far better. The timidity is shown in conditions now existing in New Eng land; in fact, as the result of the con- dition that has existed there for sev- eral years.
 Of the forty-nine new cotton mills built or projected last year thirty seven were built in the southern states, making an aggregate of 5,672 looms and 256,7S0 spindles. Tn SC thirty-seven mills were distributed as follows: South Carolina Il, North Carolina 9, Georgia ', Alabama 4. Tennessee 3, Florida, Louisi ana, and Kentucky each 1.

PASSING THOUGHTS.

A good joke is told on an Arizona travelling newspaper man. He lost his ticket over the s. F. F. & P. and the company forthwith issued a bulle- tin to the conductors The newspaper man was totally unaware of the bulle- tin until he was making his way in a Pullman fact) month later, on the run from Prescott to Congress. Shorty" Rickard called for the paste board, at the same time men.io hing a bulletin. It took a little time to set things right, but the news gath erer got through safely. The ticket had been placed in the care of Billy Pentland of Prescott for delivery and that young man was responsible for the bulletin, he never having recov- cred the letter addressed to the news paper chap to this day.

GARRETsON AT PONCE.
PopuInce Fiji the Air With Cheers
on His Arrival.

Ponce, Island of Porto Rico, Aug. 2, 8
a. m, via St Thomas, d. w. l., Aug. 3
noon.-The Porto Ricans of Ponce lined
the streets by the hundreds and hled the
air with cheering on the arrival of Gen.
Garretson's brigade from Yauco.
The arrival of these troops and those on
the st. Louis makes the fighting strength
of the Americans now operating near
Ponce about 1900 men. equal to the entire
force of Spanish regular troops on the
island
Gen. Garretson's camp Is temporarily
near the Second and Third Wisconsin
regiments, on the outskirts OF the town.
The brigade marched seventeen miles
from Yauco to Ausby, where they arrlV-
ed travel-stained and mud-bespattered.
Almost the entire population saw the
troops pass through the city and gave
them cheer after cheer, particularly as
the artllerymen numbered by The Off
GERS at the front, including Hulings Penn
sylvania. and Capts. Austin, Wheeler,
Burns and Hall, commanding the four
advance companies, do not believe the
Spaniards will make an advance. They
claim the enemy win act only on the de-
fensive.
There was some firing last night be
tween Capt Austin plekeJs anu the
Spaniards in the brush, but no damage
was done.
/ All the American troops are restless,
due to false alarms of the approach of
the Spaniards, and they are anxious for
an encounter with the enemy,
1t is the general belief, however, that
there will be no forward movement of
the main body of our troops until the
transports arrive. They are expected ev-
every hour.
The troops on board the St. Louis are
reported to be in good health. She
brought twelve representatives of the
Porto Rican junta, whose business 1t is
to inform the people not 60 resist the
Americans.
The Dixie's shot at MORO Castle on
Saturday caused the utmost consterna-
ton at San Juan de Porto Rico, where II
was believed to have signihed that the
place would be bombarded within twenty
four hours.

ranged, believing that the conservatives

POSITION IN PHILIPPINES.
DUTY TO OTHER POWERS MAKE
1T DELICATE.

Pending Decision of the Peace Com
missIOners United states Would he
Morally obligated 10 Maintain the
statu quo in the IsIands-United
states Would Also BE Bound 10
Prevent Insurgents From Fight
ing,
Washington Aug S.-An interesting
question, and one of vital importance to
the administration, is the attitude to be
assumed by the United States towards
the Philippine insurgents in the event
that We reach an agreement for the sus-
pension of hosulities with Spain.
1t is stipulated in our peace terms that
the United States military forces shall
occupy and establish a military form Of
government over the city of Manila and
the bay, with the surrounding territory.
This involves an immediate surrender
of the Spanish forces not to Aguinaldo,
but to Gen. Merritt, and there is some
fear the insurgents viii resent this very
bitterly and tFet it will be necessary 20
expel them forcibly from the territory
described.
Beyond this ii is said in some quarters
that pending the decision of the peace
commissioners as to the future of the
Philippines the United States will be NOR
ally bound to maintain the stata quo in
the islands at large.
In other words, having deprived Spain
of the means of resisting the onslaughts
OF the insurgents, il is urged that the
United States would now be bound to
prevent the latter from continuing their
warfare.
There is lack Of information in
Washington on many important points
as 10 the conditions in the Philippines.
For nstance,i ,it is not known, even approx
mately, how extensive the revolutionary
movement has been throughout the vast
group of 200 islands and among the large
population, estimated to aggregate be-
tween 100000 and 100000. IL the revo-
lutionary movement is general and eX-
tends to very many of the islands the task
presented to the United States military
and naval authorities will be one of great
magnitude, in the event that 1t is decided
to be incumbent upon us not to restore
Spanish sovereignty where 1t has been
lost, but 60 prevent its overthrow An sec
tions where 1t is still supreme, and TO pre-
vent excesses and outrages at the hands
of the insurgents.

SEIZURE OF THE RODRIGUEZ.
Satisfactory Adjustment of the Mat
ter Expected.

Washington, Aug. "A call by NJ Cam
bon at the state department to-day is like
ly 10 cause speculation though Il has no
reference to the peace negotiations or to
the affairs of Spain, but Is for the purpose
Of discussing matter relating TO France
and the United States.
Some weeks ago a United States war
ship captured the French merchant steam
er Ollnde Rodriguez when she was nine
miles off San Juan.
II was claimed she was running the
blockade, and she was taken to Charles
ton, S. c., where she Is stll retained, with
a number of passengers and freight, and
with the official mail Of the French minis
ter at Port au Prince. Both the French
embassy and the French Transatlantic
Steamship Company asked for the release
OF the steamer on the ground that she
was not running the blockade
The department Of justice has been con-
sldering the subject and the prospects
are for a satisfactory adjustment and a
release OF the steamer, If no claims for
detention are made.
NJ. Cambon called at the state depart
ment on the matter to-day.
