Antarctic Region.

lecture before the National

ter Wellman, leader of the Well
man expedition to the Arctic regions

would be sufficient for such an expedition,
and that in his opinion, 1t should cooper
ate with the parties which are to be sent
out from England and Germany, though
remaining under American control.
Mr.. Wellman showed maps of his discov-
cries in Franz Josef Land and declared
that not much geographical work beyond
the discovery of the north pole Itself re-
NAMED TO be done in the Arctic regions,

point of view. The only way in which
this result can be obtained is to treat the
public service industry strictly as a priv
ate industry for all purposes of municipal
bookkeeping. Every element of eXpendi-
ture, both under the revenue account and
under the capital account that a private
company must take into consideration,
should be included in making up the state
ments of the cost of service.
"A separate account should he kept for
each public service industry operated by
municipality. The expenditures for ma

ployes should be truly and accurately

TALK OF CORNER IN coTrONs.
But Mr.. Tweedy and MIR. Webb Do
Not Take stock in the story.

From the New York Journal.
Several grades OF cotton goods made a
jump in price yesterday of half a cent a
yard The market for the manufactured
product OF the looms is soaring.
Experts assert that the price will con-
tinue to rise, perhaps TO unprecedented
figures. The II. b. C1ahn Company is
said to have practically cornered the pro-
ducts of the mills, but many well inform
ed men declare that the story of a corner
Is ridiculous. Nevertheless, the mills have
sold their products far ahead and are
thought to be In sore straits for the raw
material.
The poorer classes are the greatest buy
ers Of cotton goods. Everything they wear
is either wholly Of cotton or II merely
mixed with wool Since wool is rising in
value almost as rapidly as cotton, there
will be less wool than ever before in the
poor mans clothing. II will be all cot
ton. II Is pointed out that the hard-work-
ing classes must now pay from 40 to so
per cent more for what they wear, and
that the hardship enforced is obvious.
IL is the prosperity Of the country that
has caused this big rise in cotton
The crop last year was 10.5O000 bales.
In its recent report the Agricultural De-
partment predicted that the crop this year
would be only 100000 bales. Latham,
Alexander & Co.. Of Wall street, collected
statistics on their own account. They say
the crop will be only 8,709690 bales. If
they be correct and their figures are gem
orally accepted, this years crop will be
short 1,790, 80 bales as compared with last
year.
There is a big demand for cotton goods
In England, and the English spinners,
those of Manchester especially, have re-
Gently drawn heavily upon the American
market for raw cotton. For some time
they had not been able to buy advanta-
geously, and they may be said TO have
sold the goods short depending upon the
future for better prices. Instead Of lower
prices, they are paying more and they
must have the raw cotton, as they are sold
far ahead.
The same is said to be true of the Amer
lean mills. All the New England mills
are running full time, some of them over
time. Mr.. Tweedy of Lee, Tweedy & Co.
told Journal reporter yesterday that
while on a recent trip through the manu-
featuring section he saw mills that had
been closed down for five years running
with all the hands they could secure. In
quiry in Wall street shows that many of
the great mills that have not paid di IL
dends for years are now paying their
stockholders handsomely.
The opening up Of trade with China has
had an accelerating effect upon trade for
China has been buying tremendously. Ja-
pan has also been and is now big buy

The state department has received from
Consul Hill Of Amsterdam report of the
mission sent to Sierra Leone by the Liver
pool School of Tropical Diseases for the
purpose of investigating the cause of ma
laria. 1.-THE results of the mission he
says, seem to be the discovery that local
species of anopheles, or mosquito. carry
malaria, and that these species breed in a
few stagnant puddles." The practical re-
suits adds the report, depend ON the gov
eminent and the medical profession. The
grubs can be killed in few hours with
kerosene oil, but operations must be con-
tinued Systematically and some of the
more dangerous puddles must be drained.
The physicians composing the mission con-
cluded that the truly malarial fever was
caused solely by the anopheles species, and
that most of the fever could be got rid Of
at almost no cost, except little energy
on the part of the local authorities.
