Paper From Cottonseed Hulls.

A great deal Of interest has been
manifested all over the country.
but especially in the south about
the plans for the Thompson
Fiber company, recently organized
under the laws of New Jersey. If
the expectations of the organizers
are fulfilled there will be a very
material reduction in the price of
paper, and at the came time the
value of the cotton crop of the
crop of the south will be material
ly increased.
There was a time when cotton
seed was worth nothing. 1t was
looked upon as only one of the
obstacles placed by nature in the
way of the profitable cultivation
of cotton. In late years all this
has been changed, and the value
of the products of cotton seed
amounts to millions Of dollars an
nually. Mr.. Robert Thomas
thinks he has found a new use
for tha product Of cotton seed
which will materially increase the
value of this by-product Of che
southern staple.
Mr.. Thomas is the inventor of a
process by which. it is claimed, a
most excellent paper can be made
out of cotton seed hulls at very
small cost.

Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather, a large congregation
gathered at old Stevens Greek Baptist
church on last Sunday to hear the
Rev. Joseph Q. Adams preach, or rather
we should say DR.. Adams, for Slice he
last preached at his old home church
he has been madea Doctor of Divinity.
The sermon was from the text "And |,
il be lifted up, will draw all men un-
to me-" All who heard the discourse
were deeply moved, for it was sweetly
and beautifully touching-a message
of sympathy, love, and pardon-and all
who heard him were old school mates,
friends, or relatives of the speaker,
who, after the exercises, sought to see
and shake the hand OF one they had
known twenty years ago rs a bare
footed boy. DR.. Adams is at present
filing q pastorate at Reidsyille, N. c.,
and recently donated $4,000 to the
great Baptist University in Chicago.
He leaves for bis home to-day, Wsdnes-

To Remove the Maine Wreck.

HAVANA, Dec. 8.-The government
has asked bids for the removal, at last, OF
the wreck of the historic Maine. 1t is
required that the wreck aud all mate rails
for its removal must be out of the harbor
before April I, 1901. This will make
quick work Of it, as it will be not more
than three months from the time the
work of removal has been begun. The
work is an impediment to navigation, as
it creates sandbar. II is also an obstacle
to the full reconciliation of Spaniards
and Americans, as it is continuous re-
minder Of the breaking out of the war.
The Cubans may we'll have tender re-
gard for the Maine as she indirectly won
their freedom from Spain. Where the
remnants of the wreck will be put is as
yet undetermined, but wherever they are
neither Americans, Cubans nor Spaniaris
will fail to remember the Maine"

WASHINGTON. Dec. 8. - The annual re-
port Of Ethan Allen Hitchcock. secre-
tary Of the interior. was submitted to con-
gress today. 1t is voluminous. of aI8
pages, printed in pamphlet form, and
covers all the transactions Of the depart
ment for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1900.
Much space is given to the subject Of
dealing with the Indians, the following
extract being Of interest to the people Of
Washington and Idaho.
Last March Joseph visited this city
and begged to be allowed to take his
band of $50 Nez Perce Indians from their
present location on the Colville reserva-
tion. Washington, back to the Wsllowa
valley, in Idaho. An inspector was di-
rected to proceed to Idaho and invcsti-
gate the matter, and on June a3, 1900. he
reported that the valley was quite gen.
orally settled by settlers who have mos,
Of the arabic land under cultivation
that they did not desire Joseph there and
they do not wish to sell. Joseph's pres.
ent location in the Nespelim valley has o
milder climate than the Wallowa valley,
has better hunting and fishing, aud hai
plenty Of good, arabic land with timber
saw mill and flour mill. He has good
house and every advantage, but he is q
nonprogressive Indian, who retards the
progress Of his band. II has been de-
cided that no interest would be subserved
by allowing him to remove from Nespe
lim.'

SO in all-are figuring away for dear life
at the knotty problem how much it will
cost to dig the Erie canal deep enough
and broad enough, with locks long
enough, to pass the bafges that carry the
products Of the west. The Empire state
wants these freight laden barges to pass
through the her length from Lake Erie
to the Hudson, instead Of going out by
way of the st. Lawrence or being trans
ferred to freight cars. Nobody can say
as vet whether it will cost $so, 900. 100 or
$75,ooo,ooo or fIoo, 900, 900. Whatever
the amount the state of New York can
pay the bill without turning hair, but
it will make the politicians Of both par
ties nervous until they learn what the
voters think about the matter.

in executive session for more than four
hours today, the entire time being de-
voted to the discussion by Senator Nor
gan to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty for the
abrogation of the portion of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty which relates to the Mica
raugan canal.
The senator made it very plain in the
course Of his remarks that while he was
not opposed to the pending treaty in al
most any form, his principal, if not his
only concern in that connection is for the
passage of the canal bill and he allowed
it to be broadly understood that he had
engaged in the treaty discussion because
of his conviction that there were a ma
jority of the senators who would insist
upon action upon that treaty as condi-
tion precedent to the passage of the canal
bill. For this reason he said he was will
ing to discuss the treaty. He intimated
privately to other senators, however. that
he would not consent to the fixing of a time
for vote upon the treaty until there also
could be time fixed for like action upon
the Nicaraugan canal bill.
In the course Of his speech he said that
he did not in reality consider the treaty
need have any especial bearing upon the
bill, and that he believed that it was COM
petent for the United States to proceed
with the building of the canal regardless
of the treaty or Great Britain's wishes in
the matter, but to satisfy other senators
and also to meet the wishes of the secre-
tary of state, for whom he incidentally
expressed the highest esteem, he would
consent to action upon the treaty and do
all he could for it. He would vote for the
agreement whether it should be amended
OF not, although he would prefer that
there should be amendment.
He admitted, However that he had no
doubt that if the United States would
proceed with the construction of the
canal without first taking steps to secure
the neutrality of the canal Great Britain
would be grievously offended, and that
he thought it not impossible that the Of
fense would be considered sufficiently
grave to lead to hostilties between the
two countries.
"Do you mean," asked Senator Bever-
idge, "that notwithstanding the present
friendly relations between the two coun-
tries England might declare war if we
should construct the canal with our
means and in our own way'"
Senator Morgan replied that he con-
sidered that result among the probabili-
ties.
"But," he continued, should not be
deferred by that circumstance"
What England would do, he said. was,
of course. a mere matter of speculation,
and he added that he had only referred
to this possibility TO emphasize his opin-
ION that the canal should be constructed
in any contingency. The American peo-
pie. he said, had mapped out that canal
and were not going to allow any obstacle
no matter how serious to stand in the
way. He believed that the administra-
ton that would undertake to build the
canal, knowing that to do SO meant war
would be indorsed by the people at large
by bigger majority than Mckinley had
when elected over Bryan.
