Orient Wants Our Cotton,

There is such demand for American
cotton in both japan and China that
the steamers from San Francisco to
those countries have room for nothing g
else. They are loaded down with cot
ton, and $4,000 bales are now in San
Francisco awaiting shipment. This, it
is to be noted, is raw cotton. Japan
and China have their own mills now
and are making their own goods in con-
stantly increasing proportions.

"CLUsS" AT THE UNIVERSITY.
President Harper Has IN Innovation
in tho fraternity Linz.

in the fraternity Line.
President Harper has stirred up the
students of the University of Chicago
by new scheme. In his quarterly state
ment az the convocation exercises Jan
uary 1 he unfoided plan of establish
ing "clubs'' for undergraduates who are
not members of any fraternity or other
university house, headed by members
of the faculty. Men could become mem
bers at the outset by applying TO the
head and after the house" was once or
ganized members would be elected.
The president has just announced
that Lincoln house had been formed,
with 13 members, and that Washing
ton house would be formed at once.
That the president should take so much
interest in forming these clubs is con-
sidered on the campus as an Indication
that he has changed his idea on the fra
ternity question. The head of Chicago
university is not fraternity man ana
his attitude has always been hostile to
secret societies. When the university
was organized he refused to permi,
them to exist on the Midway, but modi-
fed his decree later. The new houses,
it is thought, will develop into fraterni-
ties before long and it is rumored that
it is because the presidents son has
been taken into fraternity that he has
changed his attitude.
The "houses" have been given club,
rooms in the Botany building. They
will be taken care of and furnished BY
the university and will be open only to
members. The head of Washington
house will be Prof. f. f. Sparks.

board. The information has been in the hands of the president since Sunday and has served the occasion of unusual activity during the present week.
 The information is to the effect that the Maine was destroyed by a govern ment submarine mine, planted in Ha- vana harbor and deliberately exploded More than this. 1t appears the Maine was purposely moored in the vicinity of the mine and that the explosion oc- cured at the moment when the ship had been opportunely carried by wind and tide directly over the mine.
 These facts have been hinted at and written about in dispatches from Ha- vana, Madrid and Washington, and among the varied statements made the actual conditions have been touched upon. but nothing authoritative has been permitted to escape from the court. That body is understood to have com pleted its work, but nothing Is likely to be officially promulgated in regard to It's findings for a week or more There is obvious reason for such action, the objects of which cannot be defeated by independent newspaper statements.
 There can be but one outcome of such report, and preparations for the inevitable result are being industrious ly and indefatigably prosecuted"

Al Hor.e That Climb. rroe..

Dan Berry, the well known horse owner of this city, has made great hit in purchasing an ordinary looking nag in the southern part of the state. It ap- pears that the owner was glad to get rid of 1t and thought he was doing a smart thing in working it off on Dan. but the latter is going to turn the deal to his own account, for the animal is won der. It is nothing more or less than a climbing horse.
 It was foaled in the woods of an un- settled part of Brown county, and for six months afterward 1t never saw a hu- man being. During that period it learn ed to climb trees with the agility of a squirrel, and when it was first discov- cred it lay sleeping in tho branches of a large oak. The horse was taken home and broken to drive, and now in every other respect it is a we'll behaved ami nal except when it takes notion to climb tree, and no matter whether hitchod up or not up the tree 1t goes. buggy and all.
 A few days after coming here the horse was hired by John Peterson and John Heeler for Q drive into the coun- try. The drivers were passing through large woods when the horse suddenly took notion to climb tree, and up 1t went with the buggy and men. The latter fell out, but the horse went on up into the tree, carrying the buggy with it. For three hours the boys tried to coax it down. but it staid up until its desire xrao G6nd Tho hfauuu xpaa hadly broken, and the boys came back with the horse, but left the fragments of the vehicle behind them. MT. Berry will sell the horse to a circus. Chicago Chronicle.

Five to Be Constructed For Aocommoda-

 Washington. March 16.-The house committee on naval affairs has decided to recommend the construction of five modern drydocks for the accommoda- ton of war vessels. They are to be lo- cated at Portsmouth, E. H.; Boston, League island. near Philadelphia; AL giers, near New Orleans. and Mare is- land, near San Francisco. These docks, all of which are to be entirely new structures, are to be of wood, except that at Algiers and at Portsmouth. The indications are that the dock at Ports mouth will be built of stone from near
 The decision of the committee was the outcome of a protracted and at times animated discussion. The final vote choosing the points named was 2 to 3. The opponents of the project first contended against their construction on general principles, and then separately opposed the sites that were selected. They argued that the docks should be located either where the approaches or depth of water was sufficient to admit the ingress and egress of the largest battleships or where steps already have been taken under government direction to put the approaches in state of preparation to receive the largest ves- sells by the development of both depth and width of channel or that the work on the channels should be undertaken contemporaneously with the drydocks.
