COTTON.

The cotton market closed quiet and I'M
changed, with sales of 10 on the spot.
The demand continued Indifferent, and
consequently transa Jtions were on a small
scale. Only a small amount of cotton is
being offered from the interior. Holders
seem to be as undecided as spinners about
doing business, which is largely response
bic for the present inactivity. The re-

CHINESE GOVERNMENT

Further interest in the chair of
Chinese language established in Col
umbia University is caused by a Pekin
| dispatch to the New York Sun to the
effect that the Chinese government has
decided to present to Columbia a COM
pilation of Chinese literature, history,
maps, illustrations and official papers,
as token of appreciation of the work
Columbia is about to undertake.
DR., Nicholas Murray Butler, acting
president of Columbia University, SAYS
that the dispatch is IN line with a let
ter that he received recently from
Minister Conger in which it was stated
that the Chinese foreign office had in
formed Mr., Conger that the govern
ment was preparing a collection of
educational data for Columbia.
This action on China's part, and the
promptness with which it was under
taken, show that the proposition to
teach Chinese in an American Uni
versity is held TO be of great import
ance. One is reminded, too that the re-
lations between this country and China
today are by no means distant. In
spite of the barrier the United States
put up against the Chinese immigrant
China looks upon the United States as,
perhaps, the power most friendly to
her interests, particularly since the
fair stand it maintained during the re-
cent negotiations at Pekin.
The exact scope of the work in
Chinese at Columbia has not been de-
termined. DR.. Butler says that the be-
ginning probably will be a series of
free university lectures on Chinese
subjects next March. At present neces-
sary equipment for systematic study
is lacking, and the hope is that the
gift of the Chinese government will
supply it. The university has broad
out slowly and surely. DR.. Butler is
quoted as saying: 1T is the idea in
studying Chinese matters that our
diplomats and those representing this
country or American interests in any
way, shall have the opportunity to
make themselves acquainted with the
people among whom they are going
their language, their customs, their lit
erature and their point of view which
in so many ways is different from our
own. We hope to establish in Columbia
ultimately a chair that will cover
these matters and the languages and
the history of the Orient generally in

A NEW DEADLY WEAPON

At Yazoo City, Miss, a justice of the
peace. before whom a preliminary trial
for murder was being held, decided re-
Gently that a certain negro's head was
a deadly weapon that justified the de-
PENDANT in using a pistol to protect
himself. A negro was charged with the
murder of another negro who was
known as "Buttin Jim" Evidence was
introduced to show that "Buttin JIM
was coming furiously at the defendant
with lowered head when the shot was
fired He had a club in his hand but
that was not looked upon as coming
under the head q deadly weapons. 1t
was testified that "Buttin jim had
killed a man by striking him with his
head and that he had injured others in
the same way. This faculty Of making
dangerous attacks on his enemies by
lowering his head like a ram won for
him his name among the negroes who
stood in particular fear of him. After
hearing all the testimony, the magis-
trate said that it convinced him that
the defendant was being attacked with
a deadly weapon and that he had rea-
son to fear for his life. He discharged
him from custody without bond.

THE PARDON USELESS

1t seems rather strange that a pris-
oner pardoned by the President of the
United States should be Immediately
arrested again. Yet that very thing
has just happened in Washington. APP
peals were made to President Roose-
welt to pardon thief who was serving
a term in the Washington, D. c., Pen
itentiary, on the ground that the pris-
oner was almost dead from consump-
ton. The President complied, but no
sooner had the thief been set free than
he was arrested by New York police
on requisition eight months old
which was signed by Governor Odell.
The New York Police Department
somehow heard that an application for
a pardon had been made and there
fore had its agents waiting in Wash
ington for the mans release. They
brought him to New York. and took
him to Bellevue Hospital because he
was then so weak he could scarcely
walk.
Possibly the ends of justice required
that the New York police should arrest
a dying man toward whom President
Roosevelt had seen fit to extend
clemency. The duty that demands
such action must, indeed, be one diff
cult TO do.

over some hard place, and just as soon
as it gains a financial backing it hopes
to extend the usefulness of the home
to practical temperance work in the
city. The record of the first three
months is very gratifying. The house
is equipped with 20 beds, nearly all of
which were occupied just before Christ
mas. There is now an opportunity for
such young women Of good character
to apply who want at the close of their
days labor a place with a cheerful,
homelike atmosphere. Young women
in search of work are learning that this
is a good place to stop awhile. People
in search of a good meal are learning
that tickets are now on sale and that
good, wholesome food Is being served.
Friends of the young women should
give this home a call and leave with it
the word of encouragement and the sill
yer dollar. Friends of temperance
should rally around the w. c. T. U. and
give it an opportunity to show that
with workers and a financial backing
it can do grand work among the chill
dren of Worcester in whom is the only
hope of Riding our city from the curse

nese subjects. This examination he
claims can best be made by a commits
sion who will visit the localities in the
United States where Chinese most
largely congregate,, and the Hawaii
an and Philippine Islands, and by per-
sonal observation ascertain how the
exclusion law affects the Chinese and
the localities in question. The Chinese
minister says further:
II think such an investigation is due
from Congress, in view of the treaty
stipulations, of the desire of the
Imperial Chinese Government and
of the great interests involved.
If such a commission Is appoint
ed l should hope that there report
would satisfy Congress that further
exclusion of Chinese from the United
States is unnecessary. But if that
should not occur, it ought to make
plain to Congress that the present
laws are in violation of justice and hui
mainly and infiict upon the Chinese
unnecessary hardships and indignities;
that they are not in harmony with the
treaties; that they work injury to the
interests of both countries, and should
be materially modified"

MISS WILKINS WEDDING DAY

One can but hope that the latest re-
ports from Randolph, the home Of Miss
Mary E. wilkins, are true, and that
the wedding of Miss Wilkins and DIR.
Charles Freeman of Metuchen N. j.,
will take place, as stated, on New
Years day. The novelist and the doc
tor could not begin the year 1902 better
than by wedding.
The extent of the matter published
in the newspapers about Miss Wilkins
must have been the despair of act
resses eager for notoriety. OF course
Miss Wilkins has not been seeking ad-
vertising, and all the pretty stories
about the pOstponement of the we'd
ding until a book should have been
completed, and all the more recent
rumors 10 the effect that the cere-
mony had been performed quietly, were
without her sanction and were dis
tasteful. Her only means of checking
them was to marry the doctor and to
inform the people that the event had
occurred. This step Miss Wilkins ma
turally would not take until she was
good and ready. Now, unless the in
formation from Randolph is erroneous,
Miss Wilkins is ready.

MEETING BROKE UP
IN A FREE FIGHT

New York, Dec. 29.-Five hundred
members of the order Birth Abraham
met today in this city. The order,
which is a fraternal one, is said t.
number 10000 in the country, $4,000
living in this city. The meeting was

Two. factions, one led by the men
mentioned, the other by Grand Master
Samuel Dorf, claim control. In an eff
fort to elect a chairman of the meeting,
there was a fight, in which furniture
was broken and the police had to in
terfere. Finally the lights were turn
ed off and the meeting went over I'M
til next Sunday.

MINISTER wUrS LETTER

The Chinese minister, WI Ting-Fang
has sent letter TO Secretary Hay who
in turn has forwarded it to Chair
man Hit of the House Committee or
Foreign Affairs las the Secretary con-
sidered that the subject of the letter
was one to be dealt with by Congress
and not by the State Department. In
brief, Mr.. WI asks that d commission
be appointed to examine into the work
ing of the Chinese Exclusion law and
given time to study the matter be-
fore steps to re-enact the law are TAX
en-. Mr. WI claims that the law has
worked hardship on the Chinese and
bases his request for the appointment
of a commission on a provision Of the
treaty of 1880 between the United
States and China, which says:
IF the laws of Congress of the Uni
ted States to carry out the treaty are
found to work hardship upon the sub
jects of China, the Chinese Minister,
at Washington may bring the matter
10 the notice Of the Secretary of State
Of the United States, who will consider
the subject with him, 10 the end that
mutual and unqualified benefit may re-
suit
Mr.. WI says further that he be-
lieves 1t proper and incumbent on Con-
gress before acting on the question Of
new legislation to examine with care
into the hardship suffered by the Chi

ORGANIZED LABOR AND THE
SALOON

An article published recently the Wine
and Spirit Gazette, touching on the at
titude of organized labor toward the
liquor business should be of particular
interest to all who are endeavoring to
maintain or increase sentiment against
the saloon.
1t appears that when the Central
Federated Union of New York heard
that last years president of the Work
ingmen's IN. " State Federation kept
a saloon there was a great ado AT the
meeting of the union one delegate
spoke against theman' reelection. This
man" ne said is a liquor dealer and
he should not be allowed to be at the
head of the labor movement of the
state. Our delegate to the federation's
convention should be instructed to do
his utmost to prevent his reelection"
In spite of some protest the majority
decided to instruct the delegate as
suggested. The article concludes with
this paragraph
Whenever the question of liquor is
raised, an outspoken hostility of the or
ganized labor movement to the liquor
interest is manifest at once. We may
regret this hostility, but it is there.
The organized liquor trade of the coun-
try is humiliating and stultofying itself
in seeking an alliance with body of
men so outspoken in their hostility TO
the cause of personal liberty as the
labor leaders are"
So long as this "outspoken hostility
exists it is evident that there is at
hand a strong check against the power
of the saloon.

OUR POSITION HAS
BEEN CLOSELY DEFINED

Washington, Dec. 29.-There have
have been no recent developments of
importance in the matter of the pro-
posed sale of tn Danish West Indies to
this government, negotiations for which
at various times have been carried on
between the United States and Den
mark The United States has defined
it's position very clearly as to the
terms under which it will purchase the
islands, but apparently, through the in
ability of the Danish government to
