Two Rival Syndicates Striving to Con-
soIidate Cotton Industry
Fall River, Aug. n.-offers were made
today for the stock of nearly all the 70
print cloth mills in this city by the New
York promoters of the combine of yarn
mrs which was formed some time ago.
ThS print cloth mills of FAN River are
controlled by SO corporations. The offer
was made to the various treasurers with
a view of forming great print cloth COM
bine.
It was generally believed here that as
Barrow, Wade Guthrie & Co. had Lon
don office, that the offer was in the in
teTest of an English syndicate.
No sooner had the fact of the offer by
the English syndicate to purchase the Fall
River cotton mills been announced than it
became known that another and much
larger syndicate had entered the field and
was busy through New York man in
arranging matters preparatory to making
a larger offer than that of the English
people. II is stated that the capital of
this new concern is to be $135, 900 at
least, and the aim is to consolidate all the
cotton mills in the country under one
management.

that Tom Linton. who made new hour

RAISING ANGORA GOATS.

The raising of Angora goats for the production of mohair has now grown to be quite a large industry in the sta te of Oregon. The agricultural pape=s of that state devote a considerable space to the subject, and the number of ad- VertisementS show that a large buSi- ness is being done in that. line. Fur key in Asia was the original home of the Angc-a goat, and from there they were sent to tie Cape, which TOW shares with the state of Oregon the leading production of mohair. In speaking of the rapid spread of the AngOra goat in South Africa, Mr. Schreiner, in his book entitled The AngCra Gcat, says that it is nc1 ac- counted for alone by the fact that the farmers decided to breed mohai-. There have long boen , great number of goats kept there. The census returns Of 1891 showed the number Of BOer goats to be 3,444,0l9, or about 250, 900 in excess cf Angcras. The infusion of the new blood of the ADgoras seems to have had pronounced Beneficial effect ut- on the constitution of the Beer goats All the early authorities agree that the Angora blood made the Cape goats less subject to cutaneous disease5, and more able to resist scab; also that the crossbred progeny arrived earlier at maturity and yielded 9 moro palat3ble flesh.

FOREIGN NOTES
 AND COMMENT

Queen Victoria, one would be tempt ed to believe. does not approve of mis- sionary enterprise, to which, through cut her long reign, she has not con tributed q single cent, and this fact, which is being quietly made known both officially and otherwise through out Egypt, the Soudan, and India, goes far to increase the popularity of her majesty among the Nohammedan sub jects and vassals in all parts of the world AS q further evidence Of her sentiments in the matter it is pointed out that her Indian private secretary is not Christian, but Brahmin, while her Indian servants, who are her constant attendants, are Mohamme dans, and that ny her own special in- structions every felicity and consider atiOn is shown to them in connection with the performances of their reIigi- ous devotiOns, and their prejudices with regard to food, etc.
 In thus declining to cCunter2nca mis- sionary enterprise, Queen Victoria dis plays 9 wonderful amount of tact and sagacity. For, were 1t to become known in India, for instance, that she was contributing money to the support
  object it is to upset the native faiths, she would render the English crown an object of hatred and Of hostility to all the more fanatical element of it's oriental lieges.
 While the queen has thus abstained throughout her long reign from giving 6 penny toward any missionary sO ciety, she has been a most liberal sub scriber to all the charities which are maintained on behalf of the poorer clergy, their wives, and their children, her charities in this connection being iii no wise limited to the Church of England, Of which she is the supreme head but extending to other donOmina- tiOns, including the Presbyterian church of Scotland, which is not an es- tablished or state church. In fact, she has defrayed almost the entire expense of rebuilding the Presbyterian parish | kirk at Crathie, near Balmoral, and I have likewise known her to contribute literally to the restoration of some of | the great MOhammedan places of wOr- ship in India.
 There is nc sovereign more broad | and liberal minded in matters of re- 1igion than Queen Victoria, the most sagacious and experienced of all Euro | pean sovereigns.
 
 In referring recently to the new duke of Northumberland, I omitted to mention that he is of the same family as James M. Smithson, who founded ! the ~world-famed Smithsonian institu- Tion at Washington. In the deed of gift, by means of which James Smith son legaliZed his bequest, occur these characteristic words:
 "The best blood of England flows in my veins. On my fathers side I am Northumberland, on my mCther's side l am related to kings. But that aTails not. My name shall live in the mem cry of man when the titles of the and Percys are ex- tinct and forgotten"
 No British Percy showed a greater degree of pride than this
 The Sir Hugh Smithson who mar ried the last heiress of the Percy fam fly, and who was created duke of was the father of the founder of the Smithsonian institution. James Smithson, however, was born out of Wedlock, since otherwise he would have become duke of Northum- berland, and would assuredly never
