REVIVAL OF TEXTILE TRADE.
An Interesting Letter From United
states Consul TrouyPIIe

states Consul TrOuveIIe
The Division OF Customs and Insuar Af-
fairs of the War Department made public
today a very interesting extract from a
letter written in January last by United
States Consul TrouvelIe on the revival of
the textile trade of Belfast, Ireland. with
Cuba. In the course of his remarks the
Consul uses the words of a linen manufacl-
urer to pay handsome tribute to the able
and enlightened manner with which the
United States has governed Cuba
Consul Trouveile says There IS a
pronounced Improvement in the textile
trade here, which is attributed TO the re-
opening of the Cuban market, Prior TO the
Spanish-AmeTicdn war manufacturers of
linens were severely handicapped in the
struggle 10 compete with Spanish produc-
GERS for two TeIsnuG. first. the high import
on entrance into Cuba. and. second. the cost
Of rcmitt;ug in bills Of exchange on Lon
don. which the purchasers in Cuba had to
pay in gold. while Temittances TO Spain
were made in Spanish currency. which
cost much less
The result was that Belfast linens were
driven out of the Cuban markets Some OF
tire merchants established factories in
Spain in the effort TO remedy this state Of
things. but without success. The result Of
the war, with the revised and justly exc
oUted tariff. alters the whole condition Of
affairs, and Belfast shippers are now able
TO compete successfully with Spanish CT
other foreign manufacturers. The i'm
proved condition OF credit in Cuba is graft
flying. Il is remarkable that Cuban mer-
chants have been through the year remit
ling promptly for their purchases. 80 that
delay and difficulty are disappearing. To
Use the words cf local linen merchant:
All these things are surely tribute 90

Eniicy TriumpEant.-The best in
formed opinion among Texans in Wash
ington is that the result OF the county
primaries last Saturday in their State
settles definitely the Senatorial contest
between Senator Chiffon and Mr.. Bailey.
The latter has defeated Mr. Chiffon bv
overwhelming majorties in all of the
counties that were considered pivotal. and
unless all Of the usual signs fail the
Legislature TO be elected in November
will send the bumptious Mr.. Bailey 20 the
Senate. Even some of his friends Curl
ously enough, are regretting this prospect.
They fear that Mr.. Bailey will he a failure
in the Senate, whereas they contend that
the House offered him brilliant future
The Senate is not organized exactly to the
liking OF Mr.. Bailey any more than to the
liking Of the ill-starred Mr. Beyeridge of
Indiana, and it is predicted that the young
Texan, like his prototype from Indiana
will be very unhappy when the unwritten
rules and regulations of the upper house
hy up under his Needless tread and swat
him hard in that expansive. tender spot of
his mental anatomy styled vanity on the
phrenologist's chart. Others. however. are
equally confident that Mr. Bailey will so
organize himself before coming to the
Senate as to be able to put himself in har-
mony with his new environment, and thus
reflect credit upon, his State and ,,artv.
Senator Chiffon, by the way, is reported
TO be dangerously sick at his home. in
Tyler. and his recovery is despaired of. It
is thought that had the Senator been in
robust health Mr.. Bailey would not have
had such a walk-over as is now claimed
for him, even though all of the ladies of
the Lone Star State have been enlisted in
his cause ever since he announced FOR the
Senate. 1t is the general opinion in Wash
ington that Texas will lose a valuable rep

to private life

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.
That philade!

That Philadelphia Fund.-It is an
nounced with a gleeful shout of triumph
from Philadelphia that Mayor Ashbrdge
Is now able to claim SSi 900 toward the
fund of 100000 guaranteed TO the Repub-
lican National Committee for the Conven-
ton. At this end of the line no news has
been given out of the reception of funds
since the third installment of $25 600. was
sent to Mr.. Hanna more than month ago.
1t is intimated that Mayor AShbridge does
not intend to permit Mr.. Hanna to get his
hands on whatever money is now held by
the Philadelphia committee or may here
after be collected. The Philadelphians, 1t
is said, desire to use whatever amount
they collect over $75. .000 as an entertain
ment fund.- and also TO 'defray the eX-
pense of putting the Convention Hall in
shape for the June meet. IL is expected,
however. that Mr. Hanna will have some
thing to say about this and when he emits
a roar Mayor Ashbridge will feel the
earth tremble All of the members OF the
local committees connected with the Con-
vention arrangements have wiped their
hands Of responsibility fer carrying out
Philadelphia's pledge, and Mayor ASH
bridge apparently is left ID hoid tic bag.
He is a mighty man in the Quaker city,
but it is not believed he will be equal to
the job of defying Mr.. Hanna when the fl
nal day of reckoning comes. 1t is said
that Mr.. Hanna intends to go to PhIladel-
phia in few days TO trough house the
ma .ror's office again, and thea ii the mon
ey promised is not forthcoming there Will
be trouble.

The Republican majority idea Of con-

As all important Republican legislation is

may be assumed with safety that they are
not afraid that any constitutional amend

Suffolks and the Highland Black Face
These new breeds will he particularly
interesting on account of their novelty.
The Highland Black Face Is n well
known breed in Scotland. but in Amer
lea there are comparatively few fiocks.
Wool growing is carried on in nearly
every part Of the United States, the
business being particularly adapted to
rough and mountainous districts where
the steep hillsides and mountain pas
lures can BE utilized. The exhibit Of
sheep will therefore come from nearly
every state in the Union and will in
clude about 1900 of the finest bred an
imals. The exhibits of imported sheep
will he made only by American breed
ers. the rules requiring that the stock
shall have been in the possession of ex-
hbitors at least 60 days before the date
of the entry.
The display of swine to be made in
the latter part of September will in
clude representatives of IL breeds.
Among these will be the new breeds
known as Suffolks, Victorias and Tam
worths. The Tamworth stock is bred
to some extent in Canada, but is prac-
tically unknown i'm the United States.
While swine growing on an extensive
scale has been confined largely to the
corn belt, 1t is becoming a profitable
industry among dairymen. 1t Is par
ticularly so in connection with cheese
making. the byproducts furnishing an
economic and suitable food for swine.
A special exhibit will be made Of
breeds adapted for the production Of
bacon. The secret of 'fattening hogs
lean" is the one that swine growers are
striving to learn, and this exhibit will
be judged with special reference to
their bacon producing qualities. 1t Is
expected that not less than 1900 AMI
mails will be shown in the exhibit Of
swine. MARK BENNITT.

Jacobs Case Causes Goodness ne
tween Governors.
NEW ORLEANS, July 10.-The case OF
Sanford jacob, charged with attempted
outrage in Montgomery. Ala, threatens to
produce decided coolness between the
Governors of Louisiana and Alabama. The
crime. with which Jacobl is charged was
committed in Montgomery last month,
but the accused got out OF the Jurisdiction
Of the Alabama court as soon as he could
and sought refuge in New Orleans.
The Alabama authorities have since been
trying to get hold OF jacob. but the
Louisiana authorities stand in their way.
Governor Heard refused to surrender
Jacob on the ground that he would be
lynched as soon as he reached Mont
somery, where the crime was committed
or even Mobile. as a Montgomery mob
would come down there. Governor Heard
also ordered the Attorney General OF
Louisiana to intervene in the legal pro-
ceedings taken by the legal representatives
of Alabama.
The case has been continued until July
16. and nothing can be done until then.
In the mean while Governor Heard tele-
graphed yesterday to Governor Johnston,
of Alabama, asking If there was any
danger OF Jacob being lynched In case
the requisition papers asked for were
granted The telegram has Brought a
short and indignant reply from Governor
Johnston that there is not the slightest
danger Of lynching.
'It would be shame to Alabama" he
telegraphed. ito have the Governor of a
sister State declare that she could not pre-
serve peace and force the law in her cap

In spite of this telegram Jacobi has not

MILWAUKEE. July 1O.-The sixteenth
annual convention Of the National Statistt-
cal Association will be in session until
Wednesday evening. The first session was
opened by word from President Carroll
D. Wright. Chief OF the Bureau OF Stats
tics at Washington. He said:
1T is gratifying. indeed. to report the
wonderful progress of the Twelfth Census
and to be able to say that 1t Is the largest
statistical undertaking ever seen in this
world and is progressing favorably. The
enumeration, so far as the population is
concerned Is about over. A week ago the
Commissioner OF the Census Bureau told
me that he had received the reports from
40, 900 OF the 50. 600 districts in the country,
and the rest would be in very coon. 1t
is a remarkable work. and there has been
less friction than in any preceding census
in this country for the last twenty or
thirty years at least.
The present census will open the way
to one OF the deepest OF sociological prob
lens OF the century. and within two years.
when the classification OF vital statistics.
agricultural and manufacturing statistics
are prepared. the results will be apparent.
No Genius has opened the way for this
study as the present one will.
The facts of value will be the classif-
cation of races in the production of the
country. 1t is time. so many years after
the emancipation OF the negro. to secure
some means for basis Of comparison to
their worth as citizens. The last census
went into the productiveness OF the black
and white races. but the results were
never perfected. The work OF the negro

there can be no more important questions
solved than that
