TO COMBINE COTTON MILLS.
Representatives of the Morgnns said
TO he After OptIons.

FALL. RIVER, Mass, April ga we'll
known manufacturer of this city is au-
thority for the statement that J. P. Nor
gan & Co. are negotiating for the pur-
chase of the cotton mills here. with the
intention of combining them into a gil
gantic company.
The first movement that attracted at
tention was the sending of agents through
the Southern States, whose business it
was to look over the mills Of that locality
to ascertain the value of the plants and
talk with the owners, with an idea of OBJ
tanning control of the stock. So far as
is known, no one has been directly ap-
preached in Fail River. and the policy
seems to he to secure options on as many
mills as possible outside of this city, and
then. by enlisting the services of a few
leaders here, purchase the stock OF local
corporations at valuation to be fixed
by these men
While the project has probably not
reached a stage where II can be stated
with certainty that such a combination
will finally be formed, there are a num-
Der of facts which can be given, which
show pretty concluslvely that the Nor
gan syndicate or some body of men Of
large financial means has its lines out
to secure control of the cotton business
of the country.
The Goddards, of Providence. have, it
is reliably stated. been asked to put a
valuation on their mills and other prop
erty in Rhode Island

PLANS FOR NEW WARSHIPS.
The Turret Question StiH Considered
IN Unsettled One.

The Naval Board on Construction yes
terday considered plans for two battle
ships and two armored cruisers to be sub
mitted to Congress in accordance with a
provision of the last Naval Appropria-
ton act Congress will examine the plans
and determine whether it is advisable to
authorize the construction of the vessels.
Some progress was made by the board.
1t was practically determined that the
battleships should have a displacement
of 5000 tons, and the armored cruisers a
displacement of 1000 tons. The speed of
the battleships will be nineteen knots. but
it is probable that the board will not in
sist that the armored cruisers shall have
a greater speed than twenty-five knots
the chances being in favor of twenty-one
knots. The boards idea is to give the
armored cruisers a tremendous coal car
rying capacity so that they will have an
extraordinary steamiug radius or dis
lance that may be traversed without re-
coaling.
Some members of the board are appar-
emily favorable to providing ordinary tur-
retS instead of superposed. or double
deck turrets. for the battleships, and ii
is likely that the turret question. which
was believed to have been settled when
a special board acting in conjunction with
the Board on Construction adopted the
superposed turret as type, will be
fought over again.

NO CHARGES OF HEREsY.
Prof. Iarron Likely to BE Tried for
Other Causes,

GR.NNEIL, Ic=G, April 2--Prof.
George ID. Heron will be tried by the
Iowa Congregational Association. but II
will not be on the charge of heresy, but
for conduct ''unbecoming Christian and
a gentleman"
The reports from New York that the
church would seek to expel him from
membership because of his heretical and
Socialistic teachings are declared abso-
lutely false.
The Congregationalists do not propose
that Prof. Heron shall pose as martyr
when the charge against him is solely
that of lack of moral character. The Rev.
r. II. Vittum, who has been for three
years pc stor of the Grinnell Congregation
al Church, one of the leading churches in
Iowa, and is prominent member Of the
f:Tinnell Congregational Association, said:
1T is the first intimation l have ever
had that anyone had thought of making
any such movement Heron has been in
the association and church for eight
years. and what Mr. Wentworth. Mr..
Herron's agent, pleases to call heresy was
as We'll known five years ago as is the
case now. 1t is probable that charges of
conduct unworthy a Christian and a gen.
tleman will be brought against Mr.. Her
ron. We hope the public will not accuse
us of trying man for heresy and Social
ism"

GLOOM THROUGHOUT ENGLAND.
General Depression Caused by the
War and Financial Losses.

There is hardly anything that will de
scribe the gloom that hangs over Eng
land" said w. a. Wolff, of New York and
London, at Chamberlins yesterday. Mr.
Wolff Is a lawyer. and IS an American
He succeeded to the London legal practice
of Juda p. Benjamin Mr.. Benjamin was
native of Alabama and was Secretary
of War to the Confederacy. He escaped
to England after the civil war and arrived
in London with a dirty collar and an
ulster. Within few years he was
Queens counsel and soon built up a large
practice, and at his death Mr.. Wolff sue
ceeded to his business
"A number OF things cause this Partly
the recent death of the Queen, and the en-
forced period of mourning, but chief of
all, the South African war. There is
hardly family of note in the Empire that
is not bewailing the loss of some favorite
son who met his death on the field in
the Transvaai This has. Of course. pros
trated England socially, and therefore. in
certain degree. financially. The lack of
gayeties in London has made the outlook
extremely bad for all the shopkeepers. 1
think that London will have a season I'M
paralleled for it's quietness this summer.
England has other reasons for being
gloomy from n nnanciai viewpoint. Inc
business ventures of the British have not
all turned out successfully. / should men
ton particularly the investment of British
capital which was made several years ago
in the breweries of the United States.
There was a great hullabaloo made over
British capital absorbing American in
dustries and many complaints were made
over the British Brewing Trust that in
vaded the United States. The crying
ought to be on the other side now The
money spent in consolidating the brewing
interests is not earning anything like the
dividends that it ought, and the people
who subscribed to the stock in England
feel that. in degree, they have been
bitten
There is also another financial loss that
ago many rich men of England counted
among their assets. and the most paying
ones. too, large blocks of stocks and
bonds of railroads and manufacturing
corporations in the United States. The
situation has changed now, and there are
but few United States railroads that now
have any of their securities in the hands
of English capitalists. They have all
been bought back and are held in the
United States"
Regarding the political situation of
England today Mr.. Wolff said:
THE Liberal party is on its last legs.
A firm, vigorous, yirile man might be able
to inject some life into il.
The Prince of Wales that was Is max
ing the test sort of a King. He is eX-
tremely popular and will. l think get the

represents the capitalization of extor-
| ton from the American people, to meet
the necessities of foreign competition,
and excites enmity and creates dan
gers ahead for the Republic, the only
compensating feature being the GER
tainty that the colossal fortunes of a
few of our citizens will be made more
colossal
1t has become useless TO admonish
the people of this country against the
designs of the trusts. They have ac-
cepted the new order of things with
out murmur and with apparent en-
thusiasm. II now remains for them to
reflect upon what they may have to
bear as burdens incident to the eco
ly wasing upon other industrial States.
One of these consequences will be the
necessity for huge navy, and as to
that we have no fault to find. because
1t would be necessary in any case.
What is more Immediately important
is that we may and doubtless shall
have to bear the cost of terrible war
from European aggression. Some re-
cent remarks of the London Spec
tator" are pertinent to the subject. 1t
says:
Every State on the Continent feels keenly
the dog-in-the-manger attitude of the United
States about South America
Germany would like the whole of Brazil,
in which she is already strong. Italy sends
her children by the hundred thousand to Ar
gentina. France would feel richer if she could
acquire the hintcrland Of Guiana. Even Hun
gary would rather that her children who are do
ing the handwork OF North America should find
homes under their own flag in Uruguay.
When the European alliance against America
Is transmitted from hope into fact. that fact will
be iuli grown and armed. Americans will then
ind that their only ally is their half-suspected
kinsmen.'
Such comments are not in the nature
of mere threats. They only indicate
the appreciation of a simple business
proposition, which is that if the monop-
olies of the United States are to come
in and monopolize European home
markets, as they have that of their
own country, Europe will feel COM
PEELED to develop fresh markets in the
few regions of the earth where civiliza-
ton has not yet made much progress,
and where there are fields for settle
ment and material development.
Everybody knows that the most
promising outlook for the development
of European commerce. through colon
ial expansion, is South America. The
only thing today that stands in the
way of that expansion is the American
Monroe Doctrine. How long would it
stand before a coalition of the great
transatlantic States? That is a ques-
ton which American statesmen and
diplomatists should begin to ask them
selves earnestly. And it is one which
ought to have the earliest and most
careful attention of Congress.

When first seen the craft and its occu-
pant were well out in midstream, the man
pulling at the oars in desperate effort
to make the Canadian shore before he
was carried to a point where he must lose
all hope.
Never did man pull harder. Back and
forth the oars few. Onward the current
swept in its ceaseiess rapidity. Ii was an
awful race, and as usual the mighty river
won. over reef after reef the craft
plunged. but the man held fast to the
oars until finally one wave of the rapids,
more fierce than the others, lifted the
boat high up and toppled il over
Soon the boat was seen to plunge over
the brink of the Horse Shoe Falls and the
man was seen no more.

COLUMBIA, S. C-,>April 22.-Reports

the cold rain and continued cold weather

This IS especially the case In the upper
