TIE N|NSCOIT REGISTRY
CHARTERERS AND OWNERS ARE
ON THEIR GUARD.
Colonel George w. Macfar'ane Recsi, es
Some Interesting Letters on the Sub
ject from His Attorney.

While personally the most amcable
relations exist between the charterers
and the owner and the master of the
bark Willscott, the interests Ringing
on the question of registry are so
large and important that each side is
taking the utmost care to keep its
record straight" as the lawyers say.
To the notification of the charterers
that they would not load while the
question of registry was unsettled,
Captain Peabody has made formal re-
ply alleging that there is no change
in the status of the registry of the YES
sci since she was chartered; that she
had temporary Hawaiian registry at
the time she was chartered and that
she has it yet, and that he will hold
them to the terms of the charter party.
Colonel Macfarlane, the owner of
the Willscott, has received several let
tiers on the subject from his San Fran
cisco attorney, in one of which he
says:
"On the passage of the Newlands
resolution our congress provided that
shipping laws should remain unalter-
ed and they are today unaltered, and
will be until American shipping laws
apply by the bill now pending in the
senate"
In another letter the attorney says:
There is some talk that the senate
bill will be amended so as to allow all
vessels to come in up to January LIST,
but | am not so much concerned about
this as l am that no complications
should arise through your courts de-
cision being adverse. If the Hawaiian
flag can only be got, l believe then, If
the American navigation law is not
favorably passed, you can sue in the
courts here for your constitutional
rights and you would have a good case
For if a Hawaiian subject becomes an
American citizen, l cannot understand
the right to deny his property to come
in, Will, Inn

coming YEAR. there seems to be WORK

| SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS.
I Southern cotton mills have likewise
| enjoyed a more prosperous season than
| the precious one, especially since the first
| of january. They were in better con-
| dftion than Northern spinners even dur
| ing the last quarter of 1898. But since
| 1899 began their use of tine raw rnlteriai
, has appreciably increased and the MAJ
gin of profit has been wider. These
| changes are the natural result Of the
more active consumption of goods. In
very many instances Southern mills have
found it necessary to keep in operation
night as well as day to prevent \ too
rapid accumulation of orders The.a Is
as yet no sign of "a check in this develop
nent On the contrary, it is the general
orimion among Southern manufactures
with whom we have been i'm correspond
enee that the future outlook is extremely
bright.
A further material addition of spndles
has been made within the year We
have gathered during August full data
with regard to these additions and also
with regard to the operations OF Sonth-
ern m;lls. This has been olr custom, as
is well known, fer quite number ol
years, and we seek every season TO make
it more thorough. Our latest inyast';a
tons indicate, as stated, that the number
of new sIindles set upon and Put TO WORT
proves to have been large. The infer.
mmtion secured during the past month
has been from each mill, and covers not
only the number of sDindl,s and looms
added, working and idle, amid the actual
consumption of cotton in bales and
pounds in THE twelve months ending with
September /, 1899, hut also full data
with regard to new mills now buil9tn..
and contemplated additions to existing
plants.
We find in the returns decided evidence
eff the continued vitality of the
cotton mill industry in the South.
Growth during the time of bust
ness depression has been mar
vcllous, and it is still at the full tide
of development. What has been adde!
The past year will be seen from the state
memt below. We notice likewise that
there has been no interruption in the IN
tainat;on to increase The size of the mills
that is, to build larger factories and To
augment the capacity Of ell ones. The
number of spimdles per mill reaches to-
day $780, against 9,143 year aga, and
only 6,751 in 1893 "a, of an increase of
nearly 40 per cent in the average capaci-
ty in FIVE Years. The aggregates of our
detailed returns arranged " States are
as follows. 1t should lie remembered
that these figures include az mills in
operation all this year: ~ new mills
started up during the course OF the year;
and 90 also few mills when lfave been

DAMAGE TO CROPS.
Feared That Fruit and Vegetables

1t will be a marvel if this years fruit
crop in the various sections of Utah
visited by yesterdays SnowStorm does
not result in almost total failure. In
calculable damage was done TO the
tender peach, apricot and cherry buds
in many localities by last weeks frost,
but the last unreasonable storm is more
than likely to have a very depressing
effect upon horticulturists and market
gardeners. The ground needed a good
soaking, but no such wetting as the
heavy snow that fell is giving it.
Apprehension over the probable ef-
fects on the fruit industry increased as
the weight of the snow bowed down
tree branches lower and broke tender
twigs and the night came on with
clearing skies and lower temperature.
Last midnight the thermometer how
cred around freezing point. 1t was cold

provisions for American prisoners in
his hands, and asking an exchange of
prisoners and the names. of such as
he may have.
1t is reported that the insurgents
have two officers and sixteen others.
and it is supposed that among these
are Lieutenant j. c. Gilmore and
eleven men of the crew of the United

the hands of the Filipiaos last month
when the gunboat visited Baler, on the
east coast of Luzon.

Making Effort to Release His Cap

Washington, May 1.-The following
cablegram has been received from Ad-
miral Dewey:
Manila, April 30.-Secretary Navy,
Washington: From apparently reliable
information, ten of the Yorktown boat
crew, including Gilmore, are prisoners
at insurgent headquarters. Am con-
tinuing investigation. DEWEY"
1naSmuch as there were fifteen men,
bers of the Yorktown party captured
by the Filipinos at Baler, and Admiral
Dewey accounts for only ten of them, it
is feared that the other five have been
killed. They probably We're killed or
fatally wounded in the original assault
upon the landing party at Baler.
The identity of the members of the
party still unaccounted for is not
known. \ telegram was sent TO Ad
miral Dewey today, asking him TO in
form the department, if possible, of the
names of the men known to be in the
hands of the Filipinos.
1t is accepted at the department that
the reason that he has not already
furnishes these names, with the ex-
ception of that of Gilmore, in his dis
patch of yesterdays date, was because
he did not have the information. The
insurSent headquarters where Admiral
Dewey says the men are held prison
ers, is supposed to be San Fernando,
but there is no assurance on that point.
