ALL ARE PROSPEROUS.
But South Still Leads in Textile
Mill Construction.

Mill Construction.
Boston. Aug. 10.-Thc American Wool
and Cotton Reporter says: The first
half of the year 1899 has slightly sur
passed the last half of 1898 in the num-
Der Of new and proposed textile enter
prises entered into in the United States.
Thus the total number Of new enter
prises launched in the first six months
of this year was l1G. against 107 in the
last half of 1898. and lj5 in the first
half of 1898. The south continues to
lead in new mill construction. and the
number of new enterprises compares
very favorably with those of any half
year for II long time. The number Of
new enterprises in the north is consider
ably greater than that of the last half
of 1898. but it is decidedly less than that
of the first half of that year. North
Carolina. as usual, leads the list of new
enterprises, with total of SO. Georgia
comes second, with a total of 26. South
Carolina and Virginia each show seven.
Texas six, Rhode Island five, New York,
Massachusetts and Tennessee four. AL
ALBANIA, Maine and Pennsylvania three.
Mississippi, New Jersey and Louisiana
two Connecticut. Missouri, Maryland,
New Hampshire and Vermont one each.
The record of "eElargements and i'm
provements' shows up very favorably
as compared with last year. The tex
tile mills of this country are today run
ming full, almost without exception. and
more new machinery has been ordered
during the past six months than for a
like period in many years. One result
is that the various machine shops are
enjoying a period Of remarkable pros
perity, several of them being overrun
with orders.

Then, referring to the growth Of the Ger

Formerly it was the strong German

Later, replying to T. p. O'Connor. Mir.
Chamberlain deprecated a resumption
of the debate N the Transvaal situation
which, he pointed out. while serious. still
remains doubtful. The colonial serre-
tary added that he sincerely hoped that
the report saying the inquiry proposal
had been rejected was untrue. While
he regretted the necessity of answering
Mr.. O'Connor, it would be Il fatal mis-
take to allow the !atter's views, that q
war was entirely needless. that the

their lives here last night at blaze on

The injured men were carried into an
adjoining building, and doctors used
every means known to revive them
Charles Hopper soon revived and, say

away. He had gone only SO feet when
he dropped dead. Otto Geiseke showed
signs of reviving but when only par

no doubt that the backbone Of the yellow
