was present when Hicks Beach, Chancel-
Tor of the Exchequer made his interesting
financial statement as to how the cost of
the war was to be betrayed, which was
simply a proposition that they should Dor
row the money and defer levying any ex-
ira taxes until the war was over, which
he thought would be very soon,
and he also introduced the sugges-
ton that they might be able to make the
Transvaal republic pay for the cost of the
war. Some of the Irish members talked
and denounced the war as cowardly and
cruel The English people generally feel
that as their sympathies were with us In
our recent trouble, ours ought to be with
them In the Transvaal war"

PRICE OF BROOMS DOUBLED.
The Man with Broom Corn Has 81
Good Thing From 1t.

Chicago, Nov. H.-The price of brooms
has been advanced more than so per cent.
This action was decided upon at a meeting
of the Natiooal Broom Manufacturers As
ISOLATION of the United States and Can
ada, held here to-day.
This advance is made necessary, the
broom manufacturers say, by the ad-
vance broom corn has made during the
present year. During the past few months
most of the available supply of broom corn
has been taken by the Union Broom Sup
ply Company of Chicago, with the result
that the price has gone from about $50 to
over $500 per ton. Broom makers have
been selling their products at prices rang
ing from $125 to So per dozen, according
10 quality The advance brings the poor
est quality to the price formerly paid for
the best, 50, and better qualities are ad-
vanced proportionately.
The broom manu- acturers claim that
they have been losing money steadily for
a number of months past. The price of
broom handles and wire has been more
than doubled, in the latter case almost
trebled, and 1t was almost Impossible for
the manufacturers of broOms TO make any

Governments Cotton Crop Estimate
Seems Wen Founded.

Seems Well Founded.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE statistieiau of
the department of agriculture in a report
sent to press to-day says that the fact that
the preliminary Official estimate of the cot
ton crops several times has turned out 20
be an under estimate, has been due in ev-
cry instance to a failure 10 keep pace with
the rapid expansion OF the productive area.
When, therefore, the very large crop Of
last year made it manifest that the acre
age had increased beyond both official and
almost all commercial estimates. it was
determined TO institute special and very
thorough investigation into the entire crop
situation this year.
The productive area last year is found to
have been g, coo 600 acres and chat for the
present year to be about %, 10000 acres,
with a probability that the final returns
VIII show the present acreage TO have
been below rather than above the amount
stated. The investigation discloses one
of the smallest average Yields per acre
in many years and in estimating the total
crop at a maximum of 9,50105 bales, a
substantial and most ample allowance for
any tendency TO take a too pesSimistic
view of the situation, the actual indica-
tons at the present moment pointing 10 a
crop of less than 100000 bales. The re-
port further says:
in his capacity as cotton expert TO the
United States commission, the statistician
has had the preparation of the United
States cotton exhibit for the Paris exhibit
ion, and his duties in that connection have
afforded him additional facilities for as
pertaining the actual condition of the crop
in every part of the country. The unim-
peachable evidence that has come to him
in that capacity is in every way contirma-
tory of the most unfavorable reports"
