A description of the condition Of the
cotton operatives of the south, by Prof.
Gunton, who has just returned after
a personal investigation, reads very
much like the accounts of the condi-
tons which existed in England at the
time the factory system was institute
ed about century ago. There is the
same exploitation of the labor of wo-
men and children, the same disregard
of human life and happiness, for the
sake of profits. All the restraining in
fuences of society which have done so
much to carb greed and set up certain
moral standards which even the most
heartless employers are obliged to rec
ognize are utterly unknown in the
/ southern states where cotton manu-
facture has recently been introduced.

PRESIDENT DIAZ IS
 AGAIN INAUGURATED

where he received the congratulations of the diplomatic corps, foremost among whom was General Clayton, the American am- bassador. who by his rank, takes prece- dence in matters of diplomatic ceremonials.
 President Diaz then stood on the central balcony of the palace, surrounded by a brilliant tGlrong, and reviewed the great procession of populace made up of allegor- ical characters, rural guards in their pie tlIresque uniforms, representatives of the press and banks in carriages, many socie- ties and deputations from all the manu- featuring and mining industries in Mexico.
 The Two Republics, newspaper which was the oldest daily in the English lan- guage here, has suspended publication, leaving the Mexican Herald, tine only As- sociated Press paper in Mexico, the sole daily printed in the English language The Two Republics was established in 1887 by the late Major Clark of Texas, and its edi- tor for many years was James Mastela Clark now deceased.

When he entered the Cnacalser of Deputies, all arose, and he took his stand in front of the speaker of the House, who asked him if he promised to observe and comply with he preeepts of the co1- stitution. The President answered in the affirmative, and the speaker said:
 "If you shall do so, may the nation re- ward you; and if you don't, may 1t call you to account"
 This constituted the simple ceremony of afirmat ton. The President then drove with his staff and escort, accompanied by all his cabinet ministers, to the national palace,

CHINESE MINISTER TO
 GERMANY TALKS FREELY

Berlin, December 1.-The correspondent of the Associated Press today interviewed the Chinese minister here, who said:
 "There cannot be a question of the execu- ton of Prince Yuan or General Tung Fun Slang, who are still defacto, in control of the court. They both keep the Emperor and Empress virtually prisoners. The court is unable to go to Pekin even if in- clined to do so Besides, the long journey from Sian Flu to Pekin, now that the snow Is on the ground, Is almost impossible with the vehicles in use in those primitive dis tricts. Starving out the court is not feasi- ble.- The allies will be unable to carry out such measure. However, even if it was possible, the provinces would rise in body for the courts defense.
The age-herald., 1900-12-02

"The worst feature is that the court has lost confidence in Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching, who have demonstrated their impotence to deal properly with the in- vading powers. Under the circums tanceS 1t Is certain the Chinese troubles cannot be adjusted before spring or summer"
 Baron von Wangenheirs assertion in the Reichstag that Emperor William is sys3 tematically misinformed Is still discussed by the press. The Cologne Volks Zeitun& says editorially that 1t is notorious that his majesty does not read the papers rep9 resenting the various parties, but only daily extracts made by personal employee, Thus" the paper adds. depending ept tir ely upon the personal preJudieces of his entourage he sees only such clippings aa his entourage wants, and is necessarily getting wrong impressions"

THE CARS CONDITION. His Physicians Are Satisfied With His Progress-Yesterday' Bulletin.

Yalta, December 1.-The condition Of the Czar this evening is satisfactory. The de- cline in his temperature since Sunday Is explained as being the result of diet of ex- tract of beef and milk. His physicians are satisfied with the progress he has made and if no complications set in the daily bulletin of his condition will be discontin- ued shortly. A nurse and his body physi- elan are in constant attendance, but the Empress has not ceased her watchful care, and is attending personally to the wants of her husband.
 The statement that Queen Victoria had sent her private physician to report upon the illness of the CZar is without founda- tion

THE CZARINA OPPOSES
 MINISTER OF THE COURT

Constantinople, December 1.-During the last week the- bulletins referring to the Czar's healt.l were not signed by Baron Fredericks, tn, minister of the court. The law positively requires the signature of the minister of the court In such cases. The explanation, according to an excellent in- formant, Is as follows:
 "Ten days ago the Czarina went to Ba- ron Fredericks and commanded him not to telegraph to anybody single word with out first showing her the message will obey replied the baron. The following day the Czar1na received long message from the Dowager Csarina at Copenhagen. urg- ing her to spare her strength, to leave mat ters to the attendants and not to be anx-

ious lest in the delicate state Of her health an accident overtake her. The Czarina was displeased, and asked Baron Fredericks if he had telegra phed to the Dowager Czarina anything whicIh-eould cause her to send such message. The Baron answered .Yes.'
 But did I not say you must show me all messages 9 asked the Czarina.
 Baron Fredericks replied that he be- lieved himself bound to answer the Dowager CZarinas inquiry.
 You forget yourself. You cease to be minister said the Czarina.
 "The CZar sent for the chief master of ceremonies, Gudovitch, but 1t is believed Prince Kotzubo, a personal friend of the Czar, who always accompanied him on his travels, will succeed Baron Frederieks. Prince Kotzubo is now in the ministry of domains"
