COTTON.

New York, April 16.-There were no
cable accounts from the English cotton
market and trading here was upon a
conservative scale. Prices pursued a
somewhat variable course. The opening
call developed a steady feeling with
prices one point lower to four points
higher. There was a lack Of outside sup
port and prices ave way a little under
local pressure. Later however, the mar
ket rallied again and took a level four to
fourteen points above the final figures
Thursday; the upward movement was in
the face OF local selling and was chiefly
attributed to Wall Street, buying. and
unsatisfactory weather map. and a re-
ported scarcity of seed for replanting. At
best. however, the trading reflected
timidity on the part of all classes OF
traders pending the resumption of cable
news from Liverpool tomorrow. Through
out the session the old crop positions
maintained a very steady relation to the
rest Of the list. Towards the close OF
business the market became more active
and decidedly firmer on covering. follow
ing evidences of renewed Wall Street
support. Closed steady at a net advance
OF two to twelve points.

PolITlCAL uPHEAvAL.
Caused by tho Necessity for Stronger
Foreign Policy.

Yokohama, Oct. 22.-The resigna-
tion of the japanese cabinet and the
probable coming into power Of Marquis
Ito is the theme Of the hour. The
change came as surprise. although il
was deemed inevitable in the not dis
tant future. Ii was, doubtless, unwel
come to Marquis Ito himself, who has
by no means yet got his new party in
proper trim for harmonious and sue
cessiul work. Although the latter is
we'll organized. it is made up OF many
incongruous and warning elements,
and early trouble is predicted for it.
especially in view of distribution OF
the offices before it is brought under
any sort Of discipline.
The ostensible cause OF the sudden
upheaval in politics here is doubtless
the necessity which has risen for
more decided and strenuous foreign
policy in view OF the situation in
China. 1t is generally felt that Japan
has thus far kept herself too much in
the background in the negotiations
progressing on the neighboring conti-
nent and that the time has come for
her to assert herself, her geographical
position, her eminent services In the
recent rescue OF the legations, and.
above all. her superior knowledge OF
what can and ought to be done in
China, all emitting her word and coun-
sci to be held to be OF greater weight
than that OF any other nation. Mar
quis Ito is the only man to whom the
country can turn in this emergency,
as has been the case for many years
past whenever an important crisis had
arisen. A significant feature of the
present case is to be found in the fact
that the Marquis is now credited with
strong pro- Russian tendencies.

Census Figures show Increase Of t04
Per Cent In Ten Years.
Washington, Oct. 22.--The census
bureau today made public the returns
OF the population for the territory Of
Arizona. The population OF the terri
tory in 1900 is 1929, as compared
with $500 in 1890. This shows an
increase during the decade Of 62,592
or 1919 per cent. This large increase
Is due in part to the fact that there
were 20, 459 Indians and 154 other per-
sons, or total Of 28,828 persons on
Indian reservations. etc., In Arizona,
who we're enumerated In 1890 under
the provisions OF the census act, but
were not included in the general popu-
lation OF the territory in that census.
The population Of the territory in 1870
was 9.658, and during the 10 years
from 1870 to 1880 it increased 80, ,7s2
or 1857 per cent. giving population
in 1880 of 40. The population in
1890, as stated in the report for that
census, was 59,620, representing an in
crease during the decade Of I9, 180, or
49.4 per cent.
The population OF Arizona in 1900 is
more than IL times as large as the pop
ulation given for 1870 in the first CEN
sus taken after its organization as q
territory in 1868.

Snbig Bay IL Not Considered Suitable
Place.
Washington, Oct. 22.--Reports
which have reached the navy depart
ment are TO the effect that Subig bay,
in the Philippines, is not suitable
place for locating an extensive naval
station, coaling station or navy yard,
owing to the limited depth OF the wa
ter. Naval opinion has been divided
for some time as to the relative merits
Of Manila bay and Subig bay. The
Spanish government spent large Sums
on Subig bay and it was thought to
offer facilities superior to those OF Ma
Mia bay for permanent naval head
quarters. An inquiry as to the relative
merits OF this and several other points
was instituted some time ago and the
reports forwarded through the COM
mander of the Asiatic station are not
favorable to Subig bay, holding that it
has disadvantages similar to those urged
against Manila bay. Several other
points are suggested as Offering good
sites for stations or yards, including
Ilo lilo and Olongapo. Naval Con-
structor Hobson has taken different
view, however. and has presented .
plan sor an extensive naval establish
ment on Subig bay. In view of the
differences OF opinion it is probable
that naval board will be named to
pass upon the several points and sslsca

THE STRIKE SITUATION
President Mitchell Tells the
Strikers Side.
NOT TREATED coNsIDERATELY
Men DO Not Want the Powder conces.
sion Counted rs Part of the 10
Per Cent Advance.

Hazleton. Pa, Oct. 2S. When Pres
ident Mitchell, OF the United Miae-
workers. was asked what he had TO say
in regard 70 settlement of the miners
strike, he said:
"As there appears to be some dispo-
sition ON the part OF the public toplace
the responsibility OF the prolongation
OF the strike on the shoulders Of the
mineworkeis, speaking for them Iwant
to say that when the Scranton conven-
tion accepted the 10 per cent increase
in wages providing the operators abol-
ished the sliding scale and guaranteed
the payment OF the adaynce in wages
until April /, the miners had met the
operators more than half way. They
had shown conciliatory spirit, and |
know OF no good reason why the propo
sition should not have been accepted
by the operators. As consequence,
the responsibility for the continuance
OF the strike rests solely upon the fall
ure OF the operators TO treat the propo-
sition OF their employees considerately.
The public should understand that un-
satisfactory as is the proposition Of the
operators, vino make the reduction in
the price Of powder apart OF the adj
vance OF 10 per cent, that even this
proposition has not been offered by
very large number Of the coal-produc-
ing companies in the anthracite region.
and until all companies guarantee the
payment Of the 10 per cent advance
above the rate Of wages paid in Septem-
ber until April J. according to decis-
ion Of the Scranton convention, the
miners are powerless to act.
II want to repeat again that there
can be no partial sectional settlement
of this strike. The large companies in
the Lehigh region that have refused to
move at all since the Scranton conven.
ton was held are Coke Bros. g. Co.,
! the largest coal producers in the Lehigh
region; q. B. Markle & Co, the Lehigh
& Wilkesbaire Company, the Lehigh
I Coal and Navigation Company and a
large number of smaller companies.
/ There is also considerable number Of
coal companies in the Lackawanna and
1 Wyoming regions that have not guaran-
/ teed the pamyent of the 10 per cent
advance until April /. The only dis
4 trict that has accepted the terms OF the
/ Scranton convention in full is No. O.,
better known as the Schuylkill district.
Companies which produce about 65
per cent OF, total production Of the
anthracite coal fields have guaranteed
/ the payment OF the 10 per cent adj
vance and have abolished the sliding
scale. =
When Mr.. Mitchell was asked what
he would do If all the companies were
to post notices. he said:
"When all the companies have post
ed notices then will have something
to say"
When 1t was suggested to him that
there might be break in the ranks oi
the strikers il the contest was to CON
tinus much longer, he said that not ons
man would 90 back to the mines until
they are officially notified to return.
