PLUCKY WELLESLEY GIRLS.
They Are Working to Duplicate Mr..
RockcfeIIer's Offer.

BOSTON, April 15.-Wellesley girls have
again shown their pluck, tact, and business
ability.
They have undertaken to raise 100000
by various means to save gift of $1,000
TO the college by John d. Rockefeller.
Last February Mr.. Rockefeller offered to
give Wellesley 100000 with the usual
proviso that another 100000 should be
raised by the college before commencement
in June. Wellesley wants money, being
800 coo In debt and lacking several neces-
sary building extensions. President HaZ-
zard had not in prospect any other gift,
so she appealed to the alumnae to give
Mr. Rockefeller a chance TO make good
his offer.
Members of the Boston Wellesley Asso-
citation at once sent to Wellesley graduates
everywhere suggestions for raising the
funds. Miss Mabel Curtis. President of
the association, put the plea on personal
basis, and asked every alumna TO raise
$50 which would bring the needed sum.
Through this means $4,000 was raised by
individual subscription of Wellesley wom-
en-. How many people contributed could

flowers and candies. at 36I Boylston Street,
the fashionable shopping district OF Bos@

lively business in bonbons and bouquets.
Her stock was not contributed, but she
veutured a personal capital OF $50 with
many forebudings of failure. But the shop
became popular In an hour, and with the
patronage OF the Back Bay and the colony
OF students who frequent Boylston Street
the stock was wholly disposed of every day.

pital lies a man who belongs to band of
gypsies which passed through here, and
who was seriously wounded in duel with
a farmers son over the queen Of the band.
The gypsies brought him to the hospital.
All that is known of the story was gath

who did the shooting. The gypsy was shot
in fair fight and the same spirit of chival-

PROSPECTS FOR THE BILL.
Outlook for Porto Ricnn LegisIntion
Discussed With the President

Senator Foraker talked with the Presi-
dent yesterday for Il short time about the
Porto Rican bill He told the President
that the outlook for the bill in both the
Senate and House is reassuring. He be-
leved that it will pass the House with
out amendment and with little or no de-
bate
Conirasted with, the confidence of Sen
ator Foraker is the doubt expressed by
other Republicans who called at the White
House during the day. Representative
Curtis OF Kansas who does not approve
the principle involved in taxing the Porto
Ricans. but who voted for the Payne bill
for harmony's sake. said after an inter
view with the President that the passage
of the amended bill by the House depends
very largely on what notifications are
made in it by the Senate. Should it go
TO the House in its present form he thinks
an attempt TO pass it would occasion lively
times in that body. Present conditions
he regarded as indicative of Republican
success in his State this fall.
Representative Brown of Ohio who saw
Mr. Mckinley for a few minutes assured
a reporter that there is nothing in the re-
ported desire of House Republicans to
vote against the Porto Rican Tariff bill in
order TO square themselves with their
constituents. They have no reason for
doing 1t. he said. and the bill will be
passed as il comes from the Senate
Representative Dolliver, who called Wi b
friends. corroborated Mr. Brown.

COTTON GOODS IN CHINA.
Facts Concerning the Manufactur.
From Consul Goodnow

Senator Nelson has received a letter from
John Goodnow. United States Consul Gen
eral al Shanghai, relative to the manu-
facture Of cotton goods at Hankow. China.
The letter is called forth by one which
Senator Pettigrew wrote to the Southern
spinners in December. An abstract OF Sen
ator Pet ,igrew's letter follows
You may not realize the magnitude Of
Oriental competition. large modern COZ
ton mill. making ys rn as good as you make
at Charlotte tnot as good, perhaps as the
best you h.akeD, operated by Chinese labor
ers alone. is located at Hankow China
This mill has $4,000 spindles and 200 looms
in operation. The average wages paid all
the men-eDgineers weayers. spinners, and
carders-is Sl.75 month in our money
and they board themselves Not a single
person other than native Chinese is en-
ployed in the mill. There are eight or ten
such mills in Shanghai and more are being
built
Consul General GoodnOw says:
The facts about cotton manufactures IN
China are these:
e The mill in Hankow mentioned has
discontinued weaving cloth, as it could not
meet the competition of foreign piece
goods The looms are being taken out and
are being replaced by spindles In Shang-
hal there are now running 100 looms II is
claimed that these are now tbut only very
recently making coarse sheetine at n
profit
" But the cost OF making this sheetiBg
is fully as much as the manufacture of the
game grade of cloth costs in America In
stead of wages averaging $l.75 per month
the cheapest coolle laborer receives ST.
Mexican ts3 gold per month: carders aud
spinners receive $25 TO $50 Mexican (Sl2 to
$l5 gold per month: engineers and weav-
ers receive $50 TO $50 Mexican $50 20 $3D
gold per month. Wages have risen very
fast in the treaty ports. with the building
of mills and the establishment OF the for
eign businesses and are maintained at the
higher level.
- The labor. however, is less effective
than the American labor. The American
weavers accomplish two to three times and
American spinners at least four times the
results attained by corresponding Chinese
workmen in the same time.
e. Two of the mills in Shanghai are now
run entirely by Chinese; two have a for
eign supervising engineer, aud five have
foreigners for the managers and heads OF
departments and supervisory places
The yarn manufactured at this point
and at Hankow goes TO the province of
Szechuen and is made there into cloth on
hand looms in the villages and houses OF
the consumers. Only the coarse grades of
cotton yarn are made aud the higher price
OF raw Chinese cotton as the demand has
increased and the competition of Indian
and japanese yarn have caused these mills
TO run at a loss TO the present time
The cotton cloths dominatin the mar
kei in northern China and now challenging
for trade in central China are from
America.
We can control this market so long as
We have an equal entrance into all China.
especially as freight lines from America To
China are multiplied. and when the Mica
ragta Canal is built no other than AmeTi-
can cotton goods need apply in China.
