(New York Journal of Commerce.
June 12)


juno 12)
Within tho first five months of
lS09 definite arrangements have been
made, aud in many cases tho execu.
tion is completed or far advanced,
for aiding 100000 spipdles and
81 I,OO0.OO0 Of capital to tho cotton
mills Of tho South that arc produce
ing yarns and piece goods. Com
prlscd in this arc fifty new mills
now in process of construction, or
tho capital for which has been raised,
which will involve an investment of
about eleven and half mi lion dol
lars, and contain about 100000
spindlcs; and thirty nine mills arc
now adding about five millions to
their capital and 100000 spintIes to
their means Of production.
From 1890 to 1893 tho increase
in tho number OF spindles in South
ern mills was loss than two million.
Tho greatest increase in ono year
was o1S,0OO spindlcs in twelve
months onding August, 1896. 1t
is evident, therefore, that oven if
changes of plans or other circum.
stances should materially curtal the
present apparent increase since the
first of january, tho increase in the
number of spindlcs in tho past five
months will bo far greater than IN
any preceding year, and will equal Il
larS" percentages Of tho increase of
oight years.
Th"s" mills represent the produce
zion OF lino as well rs coarse goods,
and some Of them arc particularly
designed to produco for export. If
tho profits Of Southern cotton mills
arc not what they woro at first,
whom perhaps tho dividends included
moneys that should have been SGT
apart for depreciation and renewal,
and if the mills around Grcenvillc,
). g., whose profits wcro rofcrrcd to
recently, ar" more prosperous than
many others, it remains evident that
tho profits Of Southern cotton mills
are tempting to capital, and that the
advantages of spinning cotton near
the field where it was picked have
not been exhausted. Most Of these
extensions Of tho cotton industry are
in tho two Cnrolinas.

RATE SITUATION,
Conference of Railway Officials and
Interstate Commerce Commission.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Another
conference of railway officials with the
interstate Commerce Commissioners
began here to-day, the subject this time
being the rate situation in the South.
About twenty-five roads were repre-
scented, covering the territory south of
the Ohio and east of the Mississippi.
The published rates in the South are
stated to be better maintained than in
most sections, but there have been
complaints Of discrimination in some
cases in favor of the larger cities and
towns
The commission will next Monday be-
gin in New York an investigation into
the. subject of the export rates by the
various transcontinental lines, the most
dlscouraging feature of the present
rate situation. Many of the roads. have
represented to the commission that
they are under no obligation to pub
llsh the export rates, holding that the
sixth section of the Interstate Com
MERGE Act regarding publication does
not apply to those rates. The commits
sion, however, purposes to contest this
and will make a thorough inquiry. with
a view to remedying the generalization
of rates in which all the transcontinen-
tai lines figure. The trouble is an old
one, and is due to the competition for
business among commission agents of
the roads. This export freight demor-
alization is general, the rates in some
cases being 80 to 100 per cent. it is
said, below domestic rates

SYRIAN INDEPENDENCE
The Manifesto Issued by the Junta
Not Taken Seriously.

WASHINGTON, May 12-The mani
festo declaring the independence of
Syria, issued yesterday in New York by
the Young Syria Junta, is not taken
seriously in official quarters here eX-
cept as an evidence of the unrest which
has prevailed among Turkish subjects
living abroad, including the Syrians,
Armenians and the Turks themselves,
who conduct revolutionary organiza-
ton known as Young Turks.
The reports from United States officers
in Syria and from nited States Minister
Straus at Constantinople have shown no
recent uprising or discomfort in Syria.
The Turkish Minister, Ali Ferroup
Bey, said to-day that the manifesto
was entirely without Importance, and
did not represent a sentiment prevailing
among the Syrians in this country or at
home Only recently the Minister was
given a handsome reception in New
New York by the resident Syrians, dur
ing which the most cordial manifesto
tons were shown him, and this is said
to be the sentiment among the serious
and responsible element of this people.
The only opposition element, the Min
lister points out, is made up of a few
interested in publishing Arabic papers
in New York and other parts Of the
country, but these, he says, in no way
voice the sentiments of the SyrianS.

AN EXECUTION IN OREGON.
Claude Branton Hanged at Eugene
for the Murder of John Linn.

EUGENE (Or.), May 12.-Claude
Branton was hanged to-day for the
murder of John Linn. Branton walked
upon the scaffold unassisted. He ask
ed the people present not to bear i'll
will against his relatives on his ac
count. Fifteen minutes after the trap
was sprung the body was cut down.
The crime for which Branton paid
the penalty of death was that of TAX
ing the life of John A. Linn, stock
man of Condor. Gillian County. In
April, 1898, Branton and CORTLAND
Green, who is now serving life sem
tence in the penitentiary for completely
in the crime, left their homes near
Wallerville, Lane County, to go to
Eastern Oregon to work. Branton had
received from Linn a proposition to
work for him herding a band Of horses.
While, working in Eastern Oregon
Branton and Green laid plans to muir
der Linn to get the horses and consid-
cradle money which they believed him
to have. They induced him to cross
the mountains with Them representing
to him that on arriving at Branton's
home at Wallerville. he Branton)
would trade him a piece of land for an
interest in the horses. Before starting
he was told that Branton and Green

AFFAIRS IN NICARAGUA.
The Reported Sale of the Govern

MANAGUA (Nicaragua), April %
Considerable preparations were made
by Government officials for the arrival
at the Puebla of Jenotepe to-day of
President Zelaya and his Cabinet, who
expect to make that town. the capital
Tor a month or so. Speeches We're made
in laudation of Zelaya and a dinner
and ball were given in his honor The
expenses of all such affairs are usually
paid by the Government in these Gen.
trail American States
The reported sale of the Government s
railroad, steamboats, and machine shops
to an English syndicate for IS, 100000
IN silver (soles) proves to have been err
roneous. 1t now appears that an Eng
llsh syndicate has obtained from the
Government an eight months option
on the properties at price about twice
that at which they had been offered to
the Maritime Canal Company of Mica
ragua
Rumors are still current that Presi-
dent Zelaya intends to resign and visit
the United States as soon as the Gov
eminent can get enough money
On April 18th the Government of
Nicaragua conceded to Herbert Savage
OF Saginaw, Mich, the right to utilize
as much of the waters of Tipitape,
river having about sixteen feet fall,
connecting Lakes Nicaragua and Ma
nagua, as may be needed for operat-
ing electric power and lights at the
locality and in the cities of Managua
and Granada, each about twenty miles
distant from the river The concession
Is subject, however. to the previous
rights granted to maritime canal pas
sengers and freight on his trolley lines
and for electric lights should they be
approved by both the Government of
Nicaragua and the municipal govern
ments of the cities named, all adjudica-
lions to be made by the judiciary Of the
Government of Nicaragua. The con-
cessionaire has the right to elevate the
water in Lake Managua about eight
feet by dam across Rio Tipitape if
he can do so, during the short rainy
season of each year, as provision
against the evaporation from the pres-
ent level of the lake of over five inches
per month
