There are now seventy-five cotton
spinning mills in Japan, says the Pail
Mall Gazette, with an aggregate cap
ital of 94,O00,O00, half paid up, with
100000 spindles working and nearly
100000 more in course of erection or
projected, giving employment to over
$4,000 men and over $4,000 women,
the wages of the former ranging from
Sd. to Sd. day, and the wages of
the latter ranging from 21ad. to Sd.
a day. Of the $4,000 tons of raw cot
ton worked up by these mills last year
1872 per cent were Indian, l8 per cent
Chinese and II per cent American.
The amount of native-grown cotton
was under 500 tons. Down to the last
year or two the only market for the
output was found in Japan itself. With
the removal of export duties, how
ever, a foreign outlet was found in
China, where Japanese yarn is now
competing severely with tina. of India.

most interesting experiences Of the
Whole tour. After passing through the
camp the route lay through the Unit

Of the city a reviewing stand had been
erected from which the president and
his party reviewed the cavalry. Gen.

his birthplace. Gen. Shafter was
given an ovation. A unique feature of
the demonstration was company Of

ANOTHER KISSING SPREE.



Hobson Again Breaks All His Rec
Orils.
Kansas City, Dec 81. - Lieut.. Hob
son was the Central figure in an oscu-
latory carnival at the Coates house
yesterday that clearly overshadowed
any of the kissing affairs in which the
gallant Atlanta man has figured in
siuce his return from more serious
duties at Santiago. When Lieut.. Hob
son arrived from Chicago he was
cheered by several hundred persons
who had gathered at the railway sta
ton. A reception committee waited
with carriages, and along the route
from the station to his hotel the Merr1-
macs commander was recognized and
cheered. The streets in the vicinity Of
the hotel were crowded. In the corri-
doris Of the hotel, supported by the To-
cal committee, Lieut. Hobson received
and shook hands with several hundred
men. The more exciting part Of it
came few minutes later when the.
lieutenant was escorted to the parlors
on the second floor, where over 400
women, young, old, handsome and
plain, waited to greet the popular hero.
Most Of them came to be kissed, and
261 Of them, by actual count, were not
disappointed. In the evening Lieut..
HObson divided honors with Maj. Gen.

honor at the annual banquet Of the

Terre Haute, Ind, Suffers a Terrible
CalRmaty.
Terre Haute, Ind, Dec. q. - The
worst fire in the history Of this city
took place last night, causing a loss Of
q nearly So, 100000. The blaze started in
the big show windows Of the Ravens
g Geddes company, wholesale and re-
tail dealers in dry goods and notions
Ihe cause is not definitely known, but
1t is supposed that live electric wire
set flre to the cotton with which the
window was decorated and before the
blaze could be extinguished the fire
spread to the decorations Of evergreens
in the store and the building was
wrapped in flames in an incredibly
short space of time. The following
firms are the losers:
Ravens & Geddes company, $40O, 900
In stock and 100000 on buildings: in
surance about two-thirds.
Breinig & Miller, furniture, $4,000.
Pixley & Co., 100000.

"A. Albrecht & Co., retail dry goods,

There were a number of smaller con-
Germs which were
Utterly Ann1hilated
in the fall of the rear wall of the Ha-
vens & Geddes wholesale house, and
the loss in their case will bring the
total loss up to the 100000 mark.
The fire started about $50 O'Clock,
when half of the employees of the es-
adjustment were at their homes for
supper. There is a force of 300 or
more In the retail department of the
establishment, and had the entire force
been present the loss of life would
have been frightful AS it is, Kate Ma

she will probably die. Louis Kramer.
the trimmer who was in the show win
dow when the blaze started, is fright

When rescued from the burning build
ing he was insane from pain and beg

Walsh and Shay were badly injured
by the falling Of floor in the Albrecht
building and are now in the city hos

admirably and there We're many mar

of the firemen are in precariOus con-

the sitting smoke, but it is thought
that all will recover.

Importance of, improving it's consular
service. It is not to be expected that
this republic can adopt a diplomatic

st. Paul, Dec. 21. - If the reports
brought into st. Paul by people who
are familiar with the Indians on the
various Chippewa reservations are
true there is every probability that
there will be more trouble between tt. 4
Indians and the government within ..

He promised them that their wish
should be respected. They trusted
Commissioner Jones with their
