TO CUT THE OUTPUT
Probable Result of Resolution
by Southern Spinners.
70 Per Cent Of the Southern Cotton Mills May
CurtaiI Pro 'uction For the Next
Two Monfhs.
Two Months.
(By the Associated Press.)

Charlotte, N. c.. Sept. An regard to
the probable result of the resolutions
adopted by the Southern Cotton Spinners
at their meeting here Monday DR.. John
H. McAden. today said to an Associated
Press representative:
while l cannot give any figures as to
the probable curtailment, I am certain
that the output will be greatly reduced.
Some mills have already shut down. The
membership of the Southern Cotton Spin
ners' Association now represents 20 per
cent of the cotton mills of the South and
l have reason to believe that all Of them
will curtail their production for the next
two months. as much as possible. The
object of the mill men will be SO to ar
range the work in their plants as to en-
Iloy as much of their labor as can be
utilized without turning out the full
amount of goods. This may be done by
operating only a part of the machinery in
each mill.
1T is probable that the action of the
committee may have temporary effect ON
the price of cotton; for of course, il we
curtail our output it will have tendency
to reduce the present demand for the
STAPLE.
THE offer to certain Northern yarn COM
mission men to accept our business on a
basis Of four per cent. commission and
guarantee, and two per cent. cash dis
count, is an important item to the South
ern cotton spinners for 1T means a saving
of 100000 annually in the sale of our pro-
ducts"
A CURTAILMENT NORTH.
Fall River, Mass, Sept, 4.-Strong oppo-
sition has developed among the manufac-
| turers against the interests which have
been working to bring about reduction
| in wages and great influence is being
brought to bear to secure the adoption of
the curtailment policy by those who favor
a cut down. 1t now appears that the cur
tailment will be extended. The directors
of the Wampanoag and Robson Mills
have voted reduction of wages as mex
pedient at this time. The officers of the
spinners union have asked that a three
or four days week curtailment plan be
adopted. m

Admiral Dewey's "bloodless victory" and

McKINLEY'S WORD BROKEN.
Referring TO his position upon the Paris
Treaty, Mr. Wellington said he had voted
fer it because he warted to bring the war
to a technical as we'll as to a real close.
He had, however, only consented to give
his vote for securing the Presidents as
surance that it was not his purpose to per-
manently acquire or to hold against the
consent CT the inhabitants, the Philippine
Islands; that it was his purpose only to
restore law and order by American arms
in the contest being waged and to pre-
vent foreign interference in the affairs Of
the archipelago. ''This was my under
standing, and upon that promise I voted
for the ratification of the treaty. Without
my vote it would not have been ratified.
The treaty was ratified, but the promise
of the President was not fulfilled. l will
do Mr.. Mckinley Justice. When he gave
the pledge he intended that it should be
kept. l believe his purpose then was that
there should be no permanent acquisition.
BET. sir. that intention faded away
against the malevolent influence that have
pursued his Administration and made
themselves felt. Gradually the President
changed front. Congress had adjourned,

DEWEY AND ROBSON AGREE

From the Phlladelphia North American,
 In the hubbub raised over the statement
 of Lieutenant Hobson about the extent of
 the damage done to the Spanish ships by
 the shell fire of Admiral Dewey's fleet some
 essential facts appear to have been lost
 sight of. Lieutenant Hobson spoke from
 personal observation about two minor gum
 boats, the Isla de Cuba and the Isla de
 Luzon, which he was charged with repair
 ing at Hong Kong. He found that they
 had been little injured by shells, and that
 below the water line they suffered prac-
 tically not at all. What he knew as a fact was that the Spanish had sunk their ships
 by pulling out the plugs and opening the valves.
 Admiral Dewey fully corroborates what Lieutenant Hobson said. Of the vessels sunk in Manila Bay, he admits that the Isla de Cuba, the Isla de Luzon and the Don Juan
 de Austria were found to be the least in- jured. At the same time, he says that the vessels were probably not much dawNged below the water line, because it is impos- sible for shell to do much execution there. So far he agrees with Lieutenant Hobson in every particular. But he begs ..s question when he adds: T never said that we sank
 the ships. I reported that we destroyed
 them " In a general way it does not Rsat- ter how the Spanish ships were sunk But as a question touching the accuracy Of the
 fire of our guns it is interesting to know | that the two vessels that came under Lieu | tenant Hobson's direct supervision were not | seriously hurt It was the Spaniards' fear l of capture and desire to rob the victor of 1 his prizes, not we'll directed shots from Dewey's guns, that caused the two gum boats to be sunk. Admiral Dewey and Lieutenant Hobson are entirely of one opinion. Lieutenant Hobson's detractors must find some author ity less competent than Admiral Dewey on which to base their hasty criticism.

Ht ONLY DAILY sEwspApER IN ALABAMA
Suburbs Should be Counted.

In all parts of the country there Is aris- ing a feeling that suburbs should not be built up at the expense of cities People cannot be restrained from living where they please, but there is sentiment that if one avails himself of the advantages of a city in the earning of his daily bread, he should share the burdens of that city. In plain words, tax lodging through the use of trolley line should be abolished. City lines in other words should be extended as far as trolley lines extend, or can carry people who come and go each day. There are some distressing cases of the abuse of city ad- vantages and privileges. The prosperous city of Macon, Georgia, actually suffers a loss of about 1000 population since 1890, when there has been good steady growth. Tn order to avoid taxation people have moved ito Vinevlle and other suburbs, leaving the city itself to stand disgraced in the census tables
 The publication of the populations of counties will rectify such statements only with the best informed. The great mass of people will see the table of city population only, and will judge a town solely by 1t. There are scores of towns that are becom- ing tired of the shuffling off of taxation. and if the evil cannot be cured by annexa- tion the population of counties containing cities should be annouced simultaneously with it's several parts. This should be done Ito avoid such injustice as the case of Macon prevents. Chattanooga is another town af- flicted with suburbs that refuse to bear proper proportion of taxation-that refuse to be counted for the general good. A way to rectify the evil should be discovered, so that the census figures for each town will represent it's true population A Greater Macon for census purposes is needed, for example, and if Macon can devise a good plan it will be readily applied in hundred other localities

not the case. It appears that the truth is concealed. This policy is dangerous to the country, and is the reverse of what is done in Glasgow. There every case Is reported as soon as 1t becomes known, and like policy should be adopted In San Francisco A contrary policy may lead to widespread infection in this country The report of merce should be carefully considered by New Orleans at least for If the disease gains a foothold in that city the losses that would follow would be very heavy, and the trade of all the Gulf states would be sadly disarranged

Rate oi Increase.

Birminghams increase of population | since 1890 is reported at 4675 per cent There is no use at present in discussing 8 situation that is at least one-half subur- ban, lying outside of contracted and fam tastic city confines. Let that go until the figures for the county are presented. At present iet Us see how many towns did better.
 Chicago gained at the rate of 54.43 per cent; Toledo's pace was S1.SS per cent Portland, Oregon, did still better, or 9i95 per cent; Hartford, Connecticut, scored 50.ol per cent; New Bedford, Massachu- setts 5S3O per cent; Summerville, suburb of Boston. 5352 per cent: Duluth, the zenith of the unsalted seas 50. .95 per cent;
 Yonkers. a suburb of New York, 49.62 per cent; Waterbury, Connecticut, COOS per cent; Brockton, Massachusetts, 46.7S per cent; Little Rock, 4S.05 per cent Johns- town, Pennsylvania, 64.S per cent; South Bend, suburb of Chicago, 64 99 per cent McKeesport, 65.02 per cent; York, Pennsyl- | oA'oc pSI Ccnls DdSOHll d SuDuID of New York. 71.92 per cent; Superior City, | a suburb Wisconsin, 159.46 per cent; East St. Louis, 95.50 per cent; Atlantic City, 11s.24 per cent; Passaie a suburb of New York, 13.A per cent; South Omaha, a sub urb, 22251 per cent and Easton, Pennsyl- vania, 74.2S per cent
 Out of 127 cities reported the growth of 24 only exceeded Birmingham in percent age, and af these are strictly suburban, bringing the total down to 16 When the 25 prosperous towns are carefully classified, it is seen that ' are suburban, namely, Summervile, Yonkers, South Bend, Ba- yonne, Superior City, East St. Louis, Pas saic and South Omaha. The factory towns in the list are Hartford, New Bedford, Brocton, Waterbury, Johnstown, Akron, MeKeesport, York, Birmingham and Eas- ton-ten in all. The commercial and rail- road towns are Chicago, Toledo, Portland and Duluth-four in number. Little Rock is State Capital as we'll as railroad cen ter; Butte is a mining town: Atlantic City is shore resort. These 25 cities are the most prosperous approximately in the country, and with the sole exception of At lantic City their growth is due to factor ies, for Chicago, Toledo, Portland and Du- luth are each and all manufacturing towns, and so to some extent are Little Rock and Butte. The sole exception is At lantic City.

It has a Mexi- can population too that plague would stay with long time if 1t should once obtain a foothold. Fl Paso is therefore nervous over the disease, and it recently sent the president of its board of health, a physl- clan, to San Francisco to ascertain the plague situation as it really is. He has returned to Fl Paso, and he says to the people of his city that bubonic plague does exist in San Francisco beyond ques- ton, and further that the quarantine is not effective.

PASSING OF THE BICYCLE

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The decadence of the bicycle is clearly shown by the reports of the Treasury De- pertinent. Four years ago, when all the world was on wheels, this country exported to the rest of the world bicycles and parts of them to be made up abroad valued at $l,S9S,O12 The next year the valuesof wheels sent abroad was S7005. .323. This was the highest point reached during the craze. In 1898 the exports fell to s6,S46,529, in 1899 to s5,75S,SS0. and In 1900 to s3,55l, ,025. The stead fly dropping figures indicate the gradual disuse of the wheel abroad as well in this country. But it will not disappear al together. The novelty of the wheel is sim ply gone, and from a fad it has become an article of use. Instead of being ridden merely as a diversion, it will be employed by those who wish to get to business in quick and economical way.

NIGHT

Percy Bysshe Shelley. Swiftly walk over the western waves,
 Spirit of Night! Out of the misty eastern cave, Where, all the long and lone daylight, Thou wovest dreams of joy and fear, Which make thee terrible and dear:
 Swift be thy flight! Wrapt thy form in mantle gray,
 Star inwrought! Blind with thine hair the eyes of Day. Kiss him until he be wearied out; Then wander OCT city and sea and land, Touching all with thine opiate wand!
 Come, long sought! When I arose and saw the dawn,
 I sighed for thee; When light rode high, and dew was gone, And noon lay heavy on flower and tree; And the weary Day turned to his rest, Lingering like an unloved guest
 I sighed for thee. Thy brother Death came, and cried,
 "Wouldst thou me?" Thy sweet child, Sleep, the filmy-eyed, Murmur'd like noon-tide bee Shall I nestle by thy side? Wouldst thou me?" And I replied
 No, not thee. Death will come when thou are dead,
 Soon, too soon! Sleep will come when thou art fled; Of neither would I ask the boon I ask of thee, beloved Night! Swift be thine approaching flight!
 Come soon, soon!

Cotton Production in All Countries.

The threats of England as to raising her own cotton in Egypt and India, or of Rus sia to do likewise in central Asia, are seen to be very empty when brought to the test. At the beginning of the last decade four countries grew 93 per cent. of the cotton of the world, namely, the United States, 625 per cent; India. 15.3 per cent China, 79 per cent, and Egypt, 713 per cent. But at the end of the decade the percentage of the United States had risen to 66 per cent, while the other countries barely held their own
 In round proportions this country spins one-third of it's crop, and exports two- thirds. India exports about half of its crop, Egypt sends off all it's crop to Eng land the continent and the United States, and China sends some to Japan. Very lit tie of the Indian cotton goes to either England or Russia. fhe larger share of il is taken by Japan, and nearly all of the remainder by Ealian and French mills. It is estimated that England does not secure more than per cent. of the crop. England gets about half of the Egyptian crop, and the rest of the world the balance.
 When it is remembered that England contains over forty million spindles, it is at once shown how great her needs are, aId what an immense proportion of the American crop she must have if her spin dles are to be kept in operation. The American crop has been doubled in twenty five years, about trebled since the civil war, and it now stands in a good crop year at about 100000 bales, and every bale of such a crop is needed. How much every bale Is needed when it falls a million bales below that total, as the crop probably will this year, can easily be seen. The world has long depended upon America for it's chief supply of cotton, and there are no indications whatever that an adequate sup ply will be furnished elsewhere. The h. dian cotton is short and thick in fibre, and more and more of 1t will be needed in home mills and in Japan. The Egyptian crop is limited to irrigation limits, and the central Asia crop is prospective only. It, too, needs irrigation, and the water is not at hand for central Asia has no Nile. America must continue to grow the cotton of the world although she may not in the long run ship any of it unspun.

NOTHING NEW IN H0Hs0N's STORY

From the New York Commentaries
 tiser.
 There is nothing new in the discovery of Hobson that Dewey's shells did not sink Montojo's fleet. The fleet was destroyed like every other that has been overcome in modern naval wars. It was smothered in gun fire, so that the ships burst into flames and the crews could not fight. They were sunk at anchor to put out the fire because they could not run away. The Chinese ships at the Yalu and Cervera' s cruisers at Santiago were not sunk by the enemy. They were set on fire by rain of shells and had to run away. The Spanish ships could not get away and had to run ashore. Shell fire did not sink them, though Sampson had heavier guns than Dewey.
