COTTON Mllls for ltort Mnrtn.

Fort Worth, Texas, July 30.-From
what can be learned there is a posi-.
bility of two cotton mills being erected
in Fort Worth, instead of one. The
proposition which has been under CON
sideration to form Il stock company
With a capital of 100000 is progress
ing nicely, and sum aycec!ing SOD,
coo has been guaranteed. This pro-
position has been under the charge of
Mr.. Evans and there is every reason
to believe that it VIII ultimately be
successful. The second proposition,
and one which theoboard of trade has
been asked to assist, comes from 4
coplei of practical cotton mill meu who
until recently have lived in Dcnlson,
and who were in Fort Worth the
greater part of last week. Their plan
is to take $4,000 or more of the stock
of MILL the balance to be subscribed
by Others. These gentlemen formerly
owned the Denison mill, which was
recently sold to eastern parties at a
very fair figure. They are anxious to
locate in Fort Worth and the encour-
agement being extended them almost
insures the second proposed mill.

REPUBLICAN BUFFERS.
Bryan Supporters Fail to Get Them to
Put Up

New York Democrats willing to back
their political opinions with their
money are beginning 20 tire Of the
chase after Republicans whose conf
dence, according to National Commit
tee press agents, is such that they will
lay enormous odds on the success Of
Mckinley. They have searched for
these liberal layers at home and abroad,
and the result las been uniformly the
same. Everywhere there appears to be
vocal willingness, but the monsy is
not forthcoming.

is as much a part Of tie work of the
Republican Committee as anything
else now. They have an enormous

TIE INDIAN FAMINE.

The F,ceyoy Of India, Lara Cursor

affected quarter CT the population Of
INDIA aod that even DOW tso mli:ioos
OF people were recei7ias relief. He ex-
pressed the hope, hoEeysr, that IN a
month these would return to their
homes. His lordship further saij thst
hsls million deaths were traceable to
the famine ard tha. the loss Of the
crops involved the loss Of fifty millions
sterling, plus some millions for the loss
o. cattle. 1t will never be known how
many were affected by the calamity
among the hill people and waade.irg
tribes, while the aims distributed were
unprecedented.
At the end Of August o54 lakhs Of
rupees (S42 500 00W had been expended
and the government further expected
to spend $50 lakhs (s7, 500 OOO) up 70
March next Besides this, 230 lakhs

amounts to about 100000. and which
represents, with interest. the result Of
a beuuest of $1,000 which was left to
the city of Boston by Benjamin Frank
lin in 1871, is to be expended. The full
vote Of the Aldermen is needed as yet,
but a plan has been broached and ac-
cepted by the subcommittee to use one
half of the sum for the erection Of q
public building which shall have hall
to be used as a public forum. The
other half of the fund is to be spent
for the extension of Mayor Quincy's
bath and gymnasium schemes.
The public building is to be known
as the Franklin Building, and it will
be built in the south end. 1t is planned
to have various meeting rooms in it,
and to carry on courses of lectures on
trade subjects. The original idea of
the fund as left by DR.. Franklin was
for the erection of trade school,
When this proposition was advanced
by the committee two years ago all
the labor bodies protested, and the AL
