SALVATION OF COTTON.


Senator Morgan of Alabama Sees 1t in
the Policy Of Expansion.
Chicago, Sept "A special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
Senator Morgan of Alabama prophesies
expansion will be the salvation of cot
ton, and is about to start a crusade in
the South to spread the new gospel. In
his prophetic vision he sees Manila,
instead of Liverpool. the great cotton
market of the world He predicts that
the time is coming when an American
city in the Pacific isles will handle two
thirds of the cotton in the world and
save billions of dollars to the cotton
growers of the United States.
Liverpool has been built on Ameri-
can cotton at the expense of American
growers, while Manchester has thrived
at the expense of American spinners,'
said Senator Morgan. why should the
price of the cotton growing in Ala
bama and Texas be fixed by men in
Liverpool? Manila offers the key for
escape from this commercial thraldom.
There. at the very door of Asia, is an
American city with a splendid harbor
and the day is coming when it will rob
Liverpool of much of it's cotton trade.
Cotton and cotton goods will be ship
ped west to the Pacific, carried to Ma
Mia and distributed from that port up
and down the Asiatic coast without
paying toll to Liverpool and Manches-
ter. This is not only the saving in
transportation considered. for the
handling in effect entails number of
extra charges. Remember that Asia
has two-thirds of the consuming power
of the world and you see the import
ance of this trade and the promise held
out by Manila"

GETTING CRITICAL.
A Rejection of Chamberlafn's Proposal
Is Expected.

London, Sept. ALL the special dis
patches to the London morning papers
from South Africa indicate that the
correspondents have got the impression
that the reply of the Transvaal gov
ernment to Mr.. Chamberlain will be an
impertinent rejection of the suggested
conference at Cape Town and a threat
to withdraw the five years franchise
offered.
The correspondent of the Times at
New Castle, Natal, confirms the belief
of its Johannesburg correspondent, Mr..
Moneypenny, that aggressive action is
imminent.
A special dispatch from Johannes
burg says 1t is understood that the
charges against Mr., Brakeman editor of
the Transvaal Leader, who was arrest
ed on Sturday, will be reduced from
sedition to contravention of the press
law. Mr.. Hoskin, the proprietor of the
Transvaal Leader, is chairman of the
Uitlanders' council and president of the
johannesburg chamber of commerce.

Things have reached such a pass

the impression is that the crash will

at johannesburg is most anxious. The
traders are unwilling to order large
quantities of stores through fear of be-
