The apology of Great Britain to
Germany is appalling in its COM
pleteness. 1t either means that
the folmer is conscience smitten
and knows that she is in the
wrong, or it means that she has
all that she can attend to on her
hands, and shrinks from further
complications. Itwere ungracious
to inquire whlchis the case.

SOUTHERN TExTlL E $.
In an interview with an Ass

In an interview with an AssO,
ciateG Press representative Mr.. ID.
A. Tompkins. the well-known
cotton mill expert, takes most
encouraging view of textile con-
ditlons in the South. In,reply to
the question as to the prospects
of new mill construction in 1900,
Mr.. Tompkins replied that ex-
pectations in this line will be fully
met.
"The machine manufacturers IN
the United States, said Mr.. Tom
kins, can make 100000 spindles
a year. That is the extent Of their
output. The new mills to be built
in 1900 will require 1000, 900 spin
dies for their equipment, so that
the mill construction this year will
he very nearly equal to the capa-
city of the machine plants to turn
out spindles.
Continuing, NJ. Tomkins SAID:
"New England has $4,000, 900
spindles. Of which 100000 are
located in Massachusetts. There
are now 100000 in the South.
At the end of 1900 the South will
have 100000 spindles, and New
England will still have $4,000, 900.
In Massachusetts, new spindles are
being put in on new stuff, while
the old ones are working coarse
stuff. Old England has 10000, 900
spindles, the South has 5,000,0 900;
the United States, including the
Middle States 20, 100000. At the
rate of 100000 new spindles a
year, the present rate of increase,
ten years from now the United
States number of spindles as En-
gland; Of these New England and
the Middle States would probably
have 20, 900, ,006, all on fine goods,
and the South $4,000, 900. In 9th
er words the United States in 1901
will have as many spindles as En-
gland, and the South will have
more spindles than New England
and the Middle States combined. "

Matters In South Africa have
turn out very differently from
what was expected. The civiliz-
ed world looks askance on the
British resort to dum-dum bullets
while the "ferocious" and uncivi-
lized Beers have surprised the
world by their humanity and
courtesy to their enemies. A
British officer. prisoner at Preto-
ria, writes that. eve live in a
large stone building that is cool
and comfortable. The Transvaal
government has given to each OF
US an iron bedstead, with mat
tress and pillow, apajama suit,
slippers, flannel shirt, pocket
handkerchief, towels, socks, etc.
We rise at $50 and indulge in a
cold bath. We breakfast on por-
ridge, bacon, sardines, butter,
jams, tea and coffee. We read
and smoke until l o'clock, when
we get beer, bread, butter, jam
and water. At 4:30 we have tea,
and at 7 o'clock dinner. Then we
play whist, and go to bed at
9:30." Evidently the horrors of
captivity have been exaggerated.

who were in possession OF the kopie al

Boer dispatch the officials appeared ut

though the long silence from the Upper

which case he would have no option but
to recross the river.

learned that decision had finally been
reached. and that the peace agreement

When the statement made by Gov.
Taylor to the Associated Press was

were in the capitol waiting for word
from him, the following statement was
made by one Of the most prominent
democrats in the state, who said that

WASHINGTON. Feb. s.-UpOn the
assembling of the house to-day 1t was
agreed that when the house adjourn to-
day It be to meet on Monday next.
M. Payne then moved that the house
take a recess until o'clock tonight.
This motion was opposed by those in
terested In claims. this being the day
set aside under the rules for the COM
sideration Of prlvate-hills.
Mr. Sims. (Tenn.), said 1t would be
unfair to cut out the days session for
the consideration of the private claims
and devote the evening session to the
consideration of private pension bills.
MIR. Payne. New York;, said he made
the motion because many members de-
sired to attend the funeral Of General
Lawton and the house would be with
out quorum If the regular order were
proceeded with.
A motion to adjourn was voted down
and the question then recurred upon
the motion Of Mr.. Payne, and 1t pre-
vailed.
Accordingly at 1870 p. m, the house
recessed until o'clock tonight, the
evening session to be devoted to prI-
vate pension bills.

Meanwhile, though. encouraged by the
abundance and case Of money, specu-

more significant that the decline Of
