THE COTTON STATISTICS.
An Expert Special Agent VIII BE Ap.
pointed for the Work Of the
Twelfth Census

NEW YORK. April 2O.--A special TO
the Tribune from Washington says:
The present method OF ascertaining
the magnitude OF The cotton crop are
considered unsatisfactory by the mana
gers OF the twelfth census. Two esti-
mates made by equally good observers,
but based on ocular observation OF a
few cotton fields in each country re-
duced 20 an average. may be hundreds
OF thousands OF bales apart. And It
Is inevitable. where there is local con-
sumption of cotton. that considerable
part OF the crop will not be reported
under any system however thorough,
OF counting the bales as they pass over
transportation lines.
There Is u preferable method Of as
certainlng the amount Of the crop
exactly, for there is one process-that
OF ginning-to which all cotton for any
commercial or industrial use whatever
must be subjected. II one could OBJ
tain from all the cotton gins OF the
country reports OF the staple they have
turned out, the precise aggregate Of
the whole crop would be known.
II Is proposed to apply this process in
taking the twelfth census, the field
work of which Is to begin on June /.
An expert special agent has been ap-
pointed, whose sole duty will be TO
obtain returns from all the ginning and
baling establishments in the cotton
growing region.

The main dissent TO the change in

against any doubtful or compromising
phrase.

Committee the changes were effected,
said "the changes are designed to
overcome the objections which have
been raised and have reason to be-
lieye they will accomplish that end
and make the Dill generally accepta-
Bile.
The words 'fortify and defend ap-
peared TO invite a controversy and di-
plomatic complications. and in view
OF the action Of the administration In
negotiating the Hay PauncefOte treaty
II appears entirely needless to raise
any diplomatic issue with England
simply on the use of the words.

lty Is given TO police and to protect

POWER OF THE SULTAN.
II Pushed Too Hard He May Encour-
age an Uprising in the Phil
ippines.

NEW YORK, April 20. A special to
the Tribune from Washington, says:
Ii Ali Ferrouh Bey communicated
with his government today the sultan
must now be fully aware Of The gravity
with the United States regards the ex-
isting state OF affairs. 1t Is incOnceiv-
able that the minister has not warned
his sovereign Of the American atti-
tude after officially learning at the
state department today that the mat
ter had not been magniiisd by the
press, that the patience OF the presi-
dent and the people had been exhaust
ed and that the prompt redemption OF
the sultans repeated promises might
have to be peremptorily demanded.
A special 70 the World from Wash
ingtOn, says;
1t is intimated tonight by diplomats
familiar with the situation that the
sultan of Turkey does not care partic-
larly whether an ultimatum Is issued
py the United States because of the
neglect to pay the 100000 which the
United States Is now demanding after
years of promises, as he has means of
reprisal at hand. There are In the Phil
ippines more than 3,500,090 Mohamme-
dams in the Sulu Islands, whose devo-
tion to their caliph is fanatic. The sui
tan would have but to lift his finger
and these Malays and Moros would
join forces with tbs Tagales. The war
in Luzon wOulr be extended in every
direction throughout the islands and
the American forces would necessarily
have TO be greatly increased.

Democrats Prevent Purchase Of
ArmOr for Naval Vessels.
THEIR COMPLETION DELAYED
Secretary Of Navy Cannot Buy Best Amor
Plate at Price Authorized and Terms
Of Appropriation Permit the
Use Of No Other.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.--As re-
suit Of a protracted struggle in the
house today, the provision Of the naval
appropriation bill TO enable the Sec
rotary Of the navy to contract for
arnior for the battleships Maine, Ohio
and Missouri, now awaiting their ar
NOR equipment, at s545 per ton, the
price asked for Krupp armor, Is out Of
the bill, as Is also the provision to re-
peal the $500 limitation placed upon the
price Of armor by he current law.
The light came at the end Of the
consideration OF the bill. Although the
provision was obnoxious to the rule,
all the minority members Of the COM
mittee had agreed to it. but today
when the majority declined TO allow the
discussion OF an appropriation for the
establishment OF an Armor plate fac
tory, they Fetaliated by raising a point
OF order against The two provisions
above referred TO and they were ruled
out.
~ ne exact effect Of the action Of the
house today is disputed An apprO-
priatiUn OF siO00,OOO. under the head
of ''arnor and armament" remains in
the bill. as well as the language Of the
provision authorizing the secretary Of
lie navy 10 contract for armor Of the
best quality for the Maine. Ohio and
Missouri, the words stricken out be-
ing at cost not 70 exceed s545 per
ton, including royalties" II Is con-
tended by some that this empowers
the secretary TO contract for armor
plate without regard to cost. BY 9TH
ers 1t is claimed that the provision will
be Ineffective unless the senate in
serts a price.
So much bad feeling was aroused
by the wTangle over the armOr plate
provision that Underwood idem), Of
Alabama, began to filibuster after the
hill was reported to the house and
finally forced an adjournment without
nnaI action on the bill.

vision for the increase OF the navy
