THE YARN MARKET.

The cotton yarn market, which, a
few weeks back, was booming up to
80 cents a pound for 4O's, has been
steadily declining until it has about
reached the point of stagnation.
During the period when the price of
yarn was at the top, many mills ac-
cepted orders that guaranteed their
profitable operation for months; but
on account of the uncertainty of the
and the prospect of prices
ranging still higher, others pursued
the hand.to-month policy, refusing to
take large orders ahead. As the re-
suit of the decline, it is only those
mills which were lucky enough to take
large orders that are now running at
the same big margin of profit that ex-
listed some time back.
Though weak and uncertain, the
yarn market is not. yet as low as at
this time last summer. Notwithstand-
ing the higher price of cotton, there is
still handsome margin Of profit be.
tween raw material and manufactured
but owing to the uncertainty
of conditions, it is difficult for the mill
managers to decide just what is the
best thing for them to do.

THE COTTON SITUATION.

Messrs. Hubbard Bros, of New York,
reported the cotton situation on Mon
day as follows:
The Liverpool market was greatly
excited today, opening at a substantial
decline and advancing rapidly on the
old crop deliveries. This advance was
reported due to the better spot de.
mand and to reports regarding the
amount of cotton destroyed in the
steamship fire of Saturday afternoon
here. 1t is estimated that about 5000
baleswere destroyed, though this may
be an underestimate. Liquidation for
the buyers of last week supplied the
European buying orders, but the
market rallied slowly from the lowest
point. Europe sold the new crop after
the opening on the better weather re.
ports. Further rains were reported at
noon in Mississippi between Vicks-
burg, Jackson and Meridian, other
wise the weather is favorable. Trad
ing is on limited scale with resulting
sharp fluctuations.
The Yorkville market continues
dormant. Most of the surrounding
mills have full supplies of cotton on
hand, and there is not large enough
amount in the hands of farmers to
warrant local buyers in trying to get
it together for export.

"Now we would like to know " hose
appointment that West Point cadetship
is. Senator Tillman notified the press a
few weeks ago that he had one to give

to see about the examination which the
applicant has to pass. Now comes Sena-
tor McLaurin with telegram to The
State that he has one to give out ana
making the same appointment, yet we
are inclined to the idea that only one is

claims it and so does his colleague.
Whose appointment is it ?"-Florence
Times. The State will be glad to print
the information if the parties in interest
will supply it. And who are to be the
examiners ?-Columbia State.
In the light of the fact that every
intelligent man in this country should
know that each of the senator's has
the nomination of a cadet, people
will have to arrive at their own con.
clusions as to why editors should print
such paragraphs as the above. Here
is fellow deliberately trying to
make the impression of a conflict
when there is none; and another
spreading the error without attempt at
correction. There is not the slightest
excuse for either editor, for telegram
to Senator McLaurin or Senator Till
man would have cleared up the al
legged doubt within fifteen minutes,
and not cost more than quarter.

IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Good Reasons to Believe Great Britain

Good Reasons to Believe Great Britain
Sees Other Work Ahead.
New York Sun.
The continuous despatch of rein
forcements to the Brish army in South
Africa, Notwithstanding the statements
appearing in English papers that the
war is virtually over, is giving rise TO a
number of conjectures. One is that
the British government, in view OF a
war in which the Suez canal might be
closed to its transports, desires to have
a large force at hand in South Africa
on which it can draw for immediate
service in Asia. Another, and one
which seems to be entertained in
France, is that the British government
is preparing for a descent on NADIA
gascar at the first opportunity, and is
keeping and increasing its force in
South Africa for the purpose. What
ever ground there may be for the sus.
picion, the French government has
considerably augmented its garrison
and war material in Madagascar dur
ing the last three months, and has add
ed to the defences and armament of
Diego Suarez, the naval station at the
north end of the island. In any case
the Boer army still in the field hardly
seems to call for an increase in the
British force to the extent going on, if
the dispatches describing the surren-
der of arms, the number of Burghers
submitting, and other signs of dis.
couragement sent by Lord Roberts and
the correspondents with him, are to be
be believed. The largest force that,
according to the latest reports from the
Transvaal and Free State, Gems. Bo-
tha and De Wet can be credited with,
is $4,000 men, with nearly all the guns
with which they began the war, and it
should not be beyond the power of the
large British force now actually in the
field to complete the subjugation of
this handful of Beers, who are said to
be so demoralized that they are only
kept from surrendering by the infu-
ence of two men, Presidents Kruger
and Steyn. The total absence OF all
information from either side as to
what is going on, whether AS regards
the war or the prospect OF an early
peace, naturally gives rise to every
kind of speculation. 1t may be that
Lord Roberts has only been waiting
for the rewpunts and. new clothing
which are said to have arrived in or
der to push the campaign with vigor.

BASE BALL.

The Yorkville boys returned from
Greenwood last Saturday morning with
another story of defeat. In the game
of Friday afternoon Greenwood beat
them 6 to 2.
There was an annoying dereliction
on the part of the telegraph company
in getting the news of fridays game
through to Yorkville. Manager White
filed dispatch to THE ENQUIRER in
the Greenwood Office on Friday even
ing at $50 o'clock ; but the dispatch
was not delivered until Saturday
morning after it had ceased to be news.
Had the telegraph company been at
tending to its business, the dispatch
would have come through Friday
night.
Today, Wednesday, the Yorkville
team goes to Gastonia and will play
team there this afternoon.
The Greenwood team is expected
here tomorrow, and games are sched-
uled for tomorrow afternoon, Friday
afternoon, and Saturday afternoon.
Some of the members of the home
team are disposed to give various ex-
cuses for their defeats in Greenwood,
while others says that the reason was
because they were outplayed. All,
however, are in hopes that they will
be able to get revenge during the pres
ent week.

BRYAN.

McClure's Magazine has commenced
the publication of a series of studies of
the most conspicuous present day po-
litical figures, by William Allen White,
and the subject of the first study in
the July number, is VIM. J. Bryan,
who is very properly described as be-
ing, with the exception of a few men
in official life, the most prominent fig
ure in the United States.
Mr.. White, who is evidently not a
Bryanite, gives Mr.. Bryan credit for
being thoroughly honest. On this sub
ject he says:
:: Now the truth of the matter is that
Mr.. Bryan is not demagogue. He is
absolutely honest, while demagogue
is not. He is absolutely brave, which
a demagogue is not. He is passionate
ly sincere, which demagogue is not.

en- years ago, his town, his congression-
al district, and his state were over

United States can be maintained only
during the existence of war, and shall
be raised and organized "only after
congress has or shall have authorized
the president to raise such force, or
to call into the actual service of the
United States the military of the sew
eral states" 1t, therefore, rests with
congress, and not with the president,
to increase the volunteer force, and
while the war department cannot do
other than feel gratified at these
prompt and spontaneous evidences of
patriotism on the part of the people,
it can only reply to each and every
tender of assistance that there is no
authority of law for the acceptance of
any volunteer troops other than those
now in the service.

The government of the United States
must protect the lives and property of
its citizens in China !; but the American
people ought to sympathize with the
desire of the people of China to save
their country from partition among
the powers of Europe. If China is
divided among the powers of Europe,
the only territories on the earth, i'm

white races, will be Morocco and Ara

A RELIGIOUS VIEW OF THE REBEL

A RELIGIOUS VIEW OF THE REBEL
LIoN.-To save themselves from the
dismemberment of their country the
Chinese are assailing the foreign white
men. They do not discriminate be-
tween missionaries and converts to
Christianity on one hand and grasp
ing political powers on the other.
Within few years, and repeatedly,
the Chinese government has declared
its obligations to the missionaries OF
Christian churches and commended
them to the good will of the Chinese
people. China has been subject to re-
volts and endeavors to bring about a
revolution. There has always been a
resentment against the Manchu.Tartar
dynasty and a desire to supplant it by
a genuine Chinese dynasty. Therefore,
rebellions have occurred. At present
the Boxers represent that revolutiona-
ry disposition and the Manchu dynasty
sympathizes with the pop
ular desire to save China for the Chi.
nese.

DEATH OF JOSEPH wYLIE.

iMr. Joseph Wylie, of Chester, died
at his home in that town on last Mon
day after long illness. The follow
ing brief sketch of the important and
interesting life of this well-known
Christian gentleman, appeared in the
Columbia State of yesterday morning,
having been sent by the Chester cor
respondent of that psper'under date
of July Q: H. '>
Again Chester is called upon to
mourn the death of one of her oldest,
best and most highly respected citi.
zens. Joseph Wylie is dead. He pass
ed to his eternal reward this morning,
surrounded by his faithful servants,
his loving niece and circle of his
closest friends and business associates.
He was in the 18th year of his age,
and today closes life that was full of
hard work, industry and many noble,
patriotic and benevolent deeds.
Mr.. Wylie was born in York county,
and at the age of IL years he came to
Lewisville, Chester county, where he
first embarked in his chosen avocation,
that of merchandising. After clerk.
ing a number of years he went into
business under the firm name of Wylie
& Moffatt. Several years later the
name of the firm was changed to
Wylie & Roddey. Just after the war,
having passed through the Confedera-
cy as a private, he came to Chester
and entered business with Captain j.
L. Agurs of this city. The firm was
soon changed to Wylie & Agurs, and
in 1885 it was again changed to the
present firm of Joseph Wylie & Co.
This firm has done most prosperous
business since under the guidance of
Mr.. Wylie's wise and conservative
direction. In 1890, largely under his
influence, the Exchange bank was Or
ganized, and he was at once placed at
its head as president, which position
be held until death.
Mr.. Wylie was most successful
business man, amassing in his lifetime
a fortune amounting to over the $780,
900 mark. Of late he has been most
liberal with his worldly goods. Inc
public will remember his magnificent
gift some years ago of $4,000 to Ers'
kline Theological seminary. Shortly
after this he gave $500 to be used IN
building a dormitory at Ersklne col,
lege. This work is now completed
and stands as handsome monument
to the generous donor. ,,.,u
He has always contributed Literally
to the endowment fund of this institu.
ton as we'll as to all charitable objects
within his reach. In 1897, when the
Associate Reformed Presbyterian con.

- The shutting down of the York
Cotton mills during this week causes
more or less concern to local business.
The cotton mill is an important factor
in the industrial life of the communi-
ty, and the fact is pretty generally
realized.
e The York Cotton mills closed down
last Saturday night for week, and
anticipated the next pay day by pay
ing off yesterday. The principal object
of the shut down was to make certain
changes in the arrangement of ma
chinery, and also general cleaning
up. It is intended to resume spinning
operations on next Monday morning.

SENATOR MCLAURIN defended b

SENATOR MCLAURIN defended his
vote on the Spanish treaty principally
on the ground of the advantage the
possession of the Philippines would
give the United States in China. In a
speech in the senate, and in his letter
to the Spartanburg manufacturers, he
fcrecasted the developments of the
present moment almost as clearly as
they can be described in the light of
all existing information. Had it not
been for his deciding vote on the Span
ish treaty, the United States would
have had no army in the Philippines
when the Chinese war broke out, and
neither would we now have a naval
force in the Chinese waters or land
force on Chinese territory capable of
assisting American missionaries or 9TH
er American citizens. For their posi-.
ton in the circumstances, the people of
the United States have to thank the
broad minded craftsmanship offs South
Carolina senator, who was courageous
enough to do his duty as he saw it, re-
gardless of the dubious factional vic
tory that might have been achieved
had he doue otherwise. Up to this
time events have fully confirmed the
patriotic wisdom of Senator McLaur-
in's treaty vote, and by the end of an
other year we predict that such of his
enemies as have not relapsed into ST.
lence, will be trying to trump up other
grounds of opposition.
