Bark ]. G.. Pfluger Here From
Around the Horn.

AROUND the Horn.
The German bark j. c. Pfluger,
which had been hovering about Dia-
mOnd Head the previous fOrty-eight
hours, was fowed in at O'Clock yes
terday afternoon, and is at Irmgard
wharf, where she wial discharge $50
tons of general freight, from Bremen.
The J. c. Pfluger'S trip from Bremen
was uneventfM and though passing
several vessels ON the way around
Cape Horn none of them were spoken
and the only report of the bark since
leaving Bremen was from Dunkirk, by
a fishing boat, which she passed off
the north coast of England.
Head winds and Gains were exper-
fenced by the J. G.. Pfluger nearly the
whole passage, and it required a sec
Ond attempt before Cape Horn was
rounded, causing a delay of over ten
days. The J. G. Pfluger left this port
October 21st of last year, and arrived
at Portland, Oregon, in the following
month, where she loaded wheat for
Queenstown, arriving there on May LIST
last.
After discharging at Dunkirk she
was tOwed to Bremen, arriving there
in June last. After a months stay in
Bremen, during which time she was in
the drydock and cleaned, the J. C.
Pfluger sailed for this port again.
The J. c. PflaIger brought seven Ca
lician laborers, who were left behind
in Bremen when the II. F. Glade
sailed from there a month before the
J. G.. Pfluger. They consist of a man
and wife and their two children and
two single men. They will join the
party of Galicians now on Oahu plan

He Intimates That Toral Did Not do
His Duty at Santiago.

New York. Sept. 2S.-Dr Jose Con-
member of the Spanish peace commits
sion, arrived i'm this city this morning
on the Ward line City OF Washington.
He is on his way to Paris. where he
will begin his duties on the peace COM
mission. DIR. Congos.o was somewhat
reluctant TO talk for publication and
when the subject OF affairs i'm Cuba was
brought up he FASTENED TO assure the
questioner that everything was beau
tiful."
"Of course" he said. you must un-
derstand that the evacuation of Cuba
by Spain Is a matter OF time, but when
left Havana everything was progress
ing well. | do not care to enter into all
the reasons for the delay but one OF the
principal causes Is the fact that we
have over 5000 sick who must be taken
care OF and cannot be left behind.
THE problem Of tife future Of the
island is a difficult one and i have
studied IL without prejudice. and as a
result OF this study OF years / believe
that IL is a social problem and not a
political one. 1t is probable that there
will be a large immigration 10 the ISL
problem OF course difficulty will be
met in view Of the dangers of fever and
climate"
DIR. Congosto was asked as 70 the
condition of the reconcentrados.
There are no reconcentrados now"
he answered with a smile. They're
gone, God knows where"
When asked as TO the establishment
of new navy for Spain. DR.. Congosto
said: Spain is still a great country,
she ought To have great navy and
probably will. j know nothing OF the
plans to raise funds for our war ves-
sells, but believe Spain IN a few years
will have another magnificent navy"
Discussing the fall OF Santiago and
the surrender of Gen. Toral, DR.. Con-
gosto says:
There We're brave soldiers at San
tiago and IL their leader lacked cour-
age he deserves to be punished. San
tiago should not have fallen as II did.
If Toral had pushed forward instead Of
retreatirg towards the city. he certain
ly would have caused repulse. These

COTTON INDUSTRY.
Meeting of New England Manufac-
turers al Crawford H0us..


Crawford House, White Mountains,
n. H., Sept. 2s.-At the forenoon ses-
sion of the New England Cotton Man
ufacturers' Association today three in

g.: on "Mercerized Cotton" by j. X.
Montgomery of Winsor Locks, Conn.
and on Southern Cotton Mills and
Manufacturers" by Edward Il. Wilbur.
Newberry, :. &.
The topic taken up by Mr.. Whittam
was introduced by the statement that
there were possibly as many methods
as there were men engaged in the busi-
ness forgetting at the cost of produc-
tion varying from that Of arbitrarily
doubling the labor cost and assuming
that this covers all other expenses. lex
cept raw materially TO that equally sem
sible one OF following the market and
waiting until accounts are closed TO
discover the results.
The speaker then said:
In this paper a system is given for
obtaining the cost of production of sin
gle and twisted yarns, and should IL
prove of sufficient interest To the mem
bers to create a desire to have the
method carried through to the finished
cloth. 1 Will prepare continuation OF
the paper for presentation at some fu-
ture meeting"
Mr.. Whittam then described a series
Of tables illustrating the system. At
the conclusion of the paper a discus
sion ensued which was participated in
by stephen A. Knight, Providence r.
J.: +. y. Vaughan. Manchester. n. III.
w. b. Hawes. Fall River: Lewis Simp-
son. Valley Field. Can: and John Ec-
cles. Taftville. II. /.
Mr. Montgomery IN his paper gave
exhaustive quotations from John Mer-
Ger, the inventor of the process which
bears his name. and cited the results
which he sought to obtain by IL. He
then described processes in use where
by Mercer's invention has been brought
down to the present time. and gave
some of the latest methoTs of obtain
ing the silken luster in cotton yarns.
He then said:
The coming season will show Mer-
cerized yarns i'm vastly larger varie-
ty OF material and styles than last sea-
son did. Is 1t not we'll to call the atten-
tion of this association to the necessity
OF diversity in our line of cotton man
ufacturing? Staple goods have become
drug on the market because the con-
sumption does not keep pace with the
production.

Commission From the
Halkyard Company.
HIS CLAIM IS DISPUTED.
Counsel Adopt Judges Suggestion
10 Ex,m.ne the Books.
CASE IS TAKEN FROM THE JURY

The suit of Charles H. Morse against
the Halkyard Manufacturing Company
TO recover $4,000 for commission on the
sale Of hooks manufactured by the de-
PENDANTS was opened to jury i'm Judge
Bosworth's court this morning but was
not tried. For over a year the case
has been in court and a good while ago
counsel for the plaintiff wanted an au-
ditor appointed, but the counsel for the
defendants opposed on the ground that
the action should have been brought
in equity and not at law. The Judge
before whom the motion for the APP
pointment OF an auditor was made, re-
fused to appoint.
Mr.. Morse claims that he is entitled
to commissions on sales between Jan.
1st. 1891, and Oct. 2Sth, 1895, which
amount to the sum sued for He
divides his claim, first saying that he
is entitled TO a commission of s. on ev-
cry case OF 100. 900 hooks sold by him
and second, that where he obtained new
customers for the defendants he is en-
titled TO the same commission on ali
the goods purchased by them, even
though he did not personally solicit ev-
cry order.
The defendants, while denying every
important point in Mr. Morse's claim.
further assert that he stopped working
for the company in 1894.
The officers OF the defendant COM
pany did not have their books in court
this morning. and as the plaintiff relies
upon the entries of sales i'm the COM
pany's books TO prove his claim, his
counsel asked that the books be pro-
duced, and just as subpoena duces
tecum was To be asked for. Mr.. Ripley,
counsel for the defendant argued to the
court that the action was one of ac-
count between the parties and should
have been brought on the equity side
of the court.
Judge Bosworth did not agree with
Mr.. Ripley. He thought the case was
one simply for the recovery OF COM
missions and differed little from a suit
on book account. His honor, when in
formed that an auditor had been refus-
ed by another judge. suggested that
counsel examine the books and ascer-
tain the amount of hooks sold on which
Mr.. Morse claimed a commission. az
such a course would be a great deal
easier than To have the books examin-
ed before the jury The suggestion
was adopted and the jury relieved from
further consideration of the case.
George w. Barrows and +. j. McCar-
thy are attorneys for the plaintiff.
