all these states the increase is more or

greatest in those regions where cotton
growing has hitherto been less extensive

tons are not in all respects the most fav

In general, the increase has been re-
stricted by the scarcity of labor. the high
price of seed the enlarged area in fall
sown crops, and, in certain sections. by
exceptionally unfavcrable weather condi-
tons. Along the northern border of the
cotton belt land from which wheat has
been harvested is being hurriedly planted
in cotton, but the amount is relatively in
considerable and allowance has been
made for il in the estimate.

SALVADOR wASrs THE CANAL.

Washington, June n.-EX-Presldent Sal
divar of Salvador who recently came
here as minister of that country, in Tho
course of an interview to-day, spoke Of
the policy Of Salvador toward the 18TH
milan canal.
"Our interests in an inter-oceanic canal
are much the same as those of the United
States" said he. I'VE want the canal
because it would be Of vast benefit 10 all
Central America, giving work to thous-
ands, and ending internal troubles by
keeping everybody busy. But we want
it mainly because Salvador has no ports
on the Atlantic With a canal opened
our goods would be loaded az our Pacific
ports ard then se.t4fs through The canal.
would have the Atlantic markets before
them.
I'VE use American machinery. tools
and agricultural implements, preferring
them to all other makes, and are getting
them even now at better rates than those
offered by European manufacturing CEN
tiers. With the canal open this class Of
American goods could be delivered in Sal
vador and oil along the Pacific coast of
South and Central America, with far
greater ease, and at better rates than at
present. As between different routes, we
naturally prefer the one nearest to Us,
which is the Nicaragua route"

Col. John Hay, the United States Secre-
tary of State, 10 the effect that the Unit

There is no political question, but a po-

and inoffensive people, but Europeans,
with their miltarism, are changing all
this.
The Prince goes on to say:
The awakening of he Chinese will be
