OUR GOODS IN CHINA.
The American Consul Says There Is
Great Market There for
Cotton.

Consul Wildman, writing from
Hong Kong, China, says: "If proper
ly placed before the Chinese, Ameri-
can cotton goods will obtain the same
foothold in southern China that they
have in northern. The present impor-
tations are not nearly sufficient to
meet the requirements. 1t must be
borne in mind that the Chinese never
wear wool-not even in the depth of
winter; that, generally speaking, the
entire population clothe themselves
IN cotton all the year round. Their
bedclothes, umbrellas, and, in a few
instances, boat sails are made of cot
ton, and the consumption is practical
ly unlimited if they are made in ac-
cordance with native requirements.
The cloths should be a strong, coarse
unbleacneu CLOTH 22 inches wide, re-
tailable at about five cents a yard, or
SO cents gold per piece of nine yards.
There is also a virgin market for
cotton cloth which, tanned or other
wise treated, would prove rainproof.
All cotton goods would have to be put
up in lengths to suit the peculiar re-
quirements of the trade for which
they are designed, and such details
could best be learned after having
made trial shipment. AS have
pointed out before, it is impossible to
do business with Chinese by CORE
respondence, and the most that con-
sui can do is to supply a hint"

Hodgson,s Escape Marvellous.

ACCRA, Gold Coast Colony, July 49,
Sir Frederic Mitchell Hodgson, gov
ernor of the colony, who recently arrived
here after having been besieged at Ku-
massi by rebellious tribesmen and who
bears signs of the hardships and priva-
tions to which he has been subjected, in
the course of an interview had with him
said he considered his escape the most
marvellous on record He attributed its
success to the secrecy maintained con-
corning the route chosen. The carriers
who accompanied him became so weak
ened by starvation that everything was
abandoned, and the party subsisted upon
plantains. They endured great hard
ships. Fortunately the rains were not
heavy. Had it been otherwise all would
probably have succumbed. Lady Hodg-
son pluckily shared all the dangers and
privations.

The President Leaves Canton.

CANTON, o., July 17-President Nc
Kinley left this city for Washington at
1850 o'clock last evening. He journeyed
in special car attached to the regular
Pennsylvania train. Only Secretary Cor
telyou accompanied the president, who
will attend to matters in connection with
the Chinese situation and in the course
of few days expects to return to Can
ton. 1t is expected that the members of
the presidents cabinet will be at the
White House this afternoon awaiting the
arrival of the president and that an i'm
portant meeting will be held soon after
his arrival. 1t can be stated with certain
ty that no extra session of congress has
yet been determined upon and that it has
not been decided to issue call for troops
for service in China. The past IS hours
brought the first tangible news from Chi
ma for some time. and it is the desire of
the president to go over these reports
with his official family. Upon this review
will depend in large measure the gov.
ernments action in the immediate future.

Deafness cannot be cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness, is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh; which is
nothing but an inhamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for auy
caue of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

SEEKING A CHANGE OF VENUE
An Application Nade for n Writ of
Nandamus.

John Fitzpatrick and Michael Fitzpatrick
today, through their Attorney W A. John
son, filed petition in the Supreme Court
of the District, asking that a writ of man
damus be issued against Emanuel NJ Hew-
lett, Justice of the peace, compelling him
TO grant change Of venue.
The petitioners on February obtained
judgment by default against J. Lorigan &
Co. for s9S.93 before Justice OF the Peace
Hewlett. Execution was issued and GER
tain personal property of ]. Lorigan was
taken into possession by Constable Stephen
B. Callahan
A few days later the petitioners counsel
was notified that one Kathryn Lorigan
claimed the property levied on The equity
of this claim WAS set for a hearing before
Justice of the Peace Hewlett, on February
%. Before the hour appointed for the in
vestigation to begin, the Fitzpatricks'
counsel filed an affidavit asking for a
change of venue to the nearest justice of
the peace, on the ground that he did not
believe his clients could get fair and
impartial trial before Justice of the Peace
Hewlett. 1t is alleged that this petition
for change of venue was denied.

STOCK MARKET ADVANCES
The Upward Tendency Generally
Maintained.
Sugar Refining and the Traction Is
sues Exceptions to the Common
Trend-Third Avenue Makes An
other sharp Break-The Industrial
shares Not Particularly Active.

NEW YORK. March 1.-The advance in
prices which set in before the close OF
business yesterday was continued in the
initial dealings in the Stock Market this
morning. although there were some excep-
tions TO the common tendency of the mar
ket The more pronounced of these were
Sugar Refining. Brooklyn Rapid Transit,
and. after the opening, Third Avenue Rail-
way 1t appears to be the case that a
large number of short contracts in Sugar
Refining were covered yesterday which re-
lieved the stock of some support, and to-
day it yielded rapidly from the opening.
Third Avenue Railroad which opened at
yesterdays final figures. also declined
rather sharply later on, and the same was
true of Metropolitan Street Railway
Aside from Sugar Refining the Industrial
quarter of the market was not particularly
active. and the changes were comparatively
limited. The railway list was generally
strong London houses were buyers Of
those stocks. and in addition much higher
range of prices was furnished from that
quarter, the strength of which was owing
TO the official announcement of the relief of
Ladysmith.
There was little other news OF general
Importance over night and speculative SEN
timent was apparently confused by reason
of the immediate monetary outlook on the
one hand and the probable workings of the

Duck Hunting in Maryland.

CHURCH CREEK. Nd, March l.
Duck hunters who brave the elements have
been getting good mallard and black duck
shooting on Blackwater marshes during
the recent snow and windstorms More
ducking weather has occurred since the 1st
of February than through all of the three
months previous. and. despite the extreme
cold, good scores have been made at most
of the shooting shores Successful shoot
ing on the Blackwater is becoming rapidly
confined to the most severe weather, and
the hardshps attached to the sport have
materially increased. Most of the best
shooting occurs during and at the break
ing up of the freeze. when the hungry
ducks frequent the ponds in search of food
at the open holes. This season few geese
have been shot. They seem to be concen-
trated around the southern coast of the
county, and as food conditions were never
better on the Blackwater. sportsmen can
not account for their evident antipathy to
the river Pintails are in evidence at the
shadows near the rivers source, but the
teal. which were very numerous early in
the season. have disappeared. Even trash
ducks are fighting shy and the mallard
and black ducks are now affording the best
cunning.

APPEALING TO CONGRESS.
Interference in Southern State EIec-
tious to BE Asked.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, March 1.-Congress,
| before it adjourns, will have a weighty
problem on its hands furnished by the
! Southern States. Yesterday the Ken
tucky Republican leaders in conference
passed resolutions, calling on the Republi-
can authorities of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee Missouri, and Vir-
ginia 10 join them in calling State conven-
tions at which joint committees would be
appointed to appeal to Congress for relief
from the infamous election laws now in
operation in those States. This morning
kilograms were received from all these
States except Virginia. agreeing to the
proposition and urging haste. The conven-
tions will be held this month.
II is not claimed that Congress can inter-
feTe in State elections. but the Republi-
cans hold that in the Congressional cleo
tions TO be held this fall they can investi-
gate and take legal action. National Com
mitteeman John W. Yerkes explained the
contention Of the Republicans as follows:
We cannot appeal TO Congress to take
charge of State elections but ii is believed
Congress has right TO lay off Congress
ional districts and having done so. II
then has the control. The Federal Con-
stitution provides that the State Legisla-
ture shall have control of the State cleo
tions to select Representatives and Sena-
tors. but Congress can under certain con-
ditions. take a hand.
The law provides that the votes in the
various Congressional districts shall be as
near equal as possible. but is it so in Ken
lucky? What did the Democrats do? In
1898 Republican county in the Eighth and
another in the Third district were thrown
out and put in the Eleventh. This was
done in open violation OF the Federal stat
utes.
IF Kentucky takes the initiative and
Joins hands with other States that are sim
ilarly harassed. We may, by a united stand
secure from Congress the relief sought
There is, know, nothing more unpopular
with the Southern people than an appeal
TO the Federal authorities, but if we are
not protected at home / think We should
appeal 1t will do no harm and we may
get relief"
