Exposition Gets a Site FREQ.

CHARLESTON, S. c., September S.
The question of sito for the South
Carolina Interstate and West Indian Ex-
position has beon finally settled by tho
board of directors. Lato developments
showed that it was impossible to secure
the Rhctt farm, tho place which was first
figured on as tho site; rs the lease was
controlled by number of truck farmers
and they would not lotit go. Captain f.
w. Wagner, who is tho president of tho
exposition company, showed his generous
spirit, however,, and he has given tho
company lease of his magnificent farm
and race track, adjoining the Rhctt farm,
and ho will not accept dollar for tho
lease. The exposition will save about
$50, 200 as starter, and the grounds will
DO even more desirable than tho site first
solicited.
MIR. Charles Sutton, chiof assistant for
Architect Bradford Gilbert, of tho expo
sition, has arrived in Charleston to ac-
lively superintcnd tho exposition work.
Mr.. Sutton will got things in good shape
for the beginning of the work, and it is
expected that tho start will bo made
within the next few weeks.

The Great Scarcity OF Cotton.

MANCHESTER, ENG, September c.
The greatest interest is felt in to-mor-
rows meeting of the Lancashire spin
ncrs, convened by tho Federation of Cot
ton Spinncrs, at which proposal will bc
brought forward to discontinue buying
American spot cotton. Since the an
nounCemcnt was made that such CON
ference would be held there has been
such rush upon smaller stocks of cot
ton in the hands of Liverpool brokers
that to-day's sales advanced from 5000
to $1,000 bales, with tho result that not
more than 100000 bales are left.
Cotton has not been so scarce before
since the days of the American civil war.
The purchasers are chiefly employers
hoped that the situation may be saved
by the arrival of tho new crop from
America toward the end of the mouth.

MANCHESTER, ENG, September AT
a meeting of the cotton spinners here
to-day it was decided, practically unani-
mously, not to purchase American spot
cotton during the month of September.
Fonr-fifthS of the employers in the trade
were represented. 1t is anticipated that
tho decision will lead to the closure of
scores of mills for several weeks. Only
three manufacturers opposed tho rcsolu-

not strong enough and that it should
bind the trade TO stop the consumption
of cotton and not merely to stop pur-
chasing it. The meeting was private,
but it was ascertained that during the
discussions there was sharp criticism of
the Liverpool spectators who, it was
declared, made the crisis worse by gamb-
ling. Eventually the meeting adjourned
until September 2lst when tho situation
will be again considered.

it is freely stated that Mr. Astor was
pretty bold in making the assertion that
a man so well known in London, al
though perhaps not personally invited
by Mr.. Astor. did not come in some one
else's party.
The papers comment on Mr.. Astor's
dragging in one particular club to which
Captain Milne belonged. as if Mr.. Astor,
1t is pointed out. had grudge against it
as well as against Captain Milne. and
the general opinion is that Captain Milne
is not likely to submit to such a slur
without taking some action.
