 point the further violent rise in for eign exchange was not reassuring. There seems to be something like a rush of cotto this week to export points, but this has not had the slight est influence in checking the advance in exchange, which would quickly reach the gold export point at the recent rate of progress. The expected movement of gold from London to Paris also set in to- day, and there were large addition al shipments to Berlin, marking the continued money disturbance at those centers. A triangular process of re- mittance from New York to Paris for the repayment of loans contracted in the Northern Pacific trouble and in preparation for the coming Paris stock exchange settlement are said to be an influence in the movement of gold from London to Paris.

SENATE CONFIRMS
 JAMES s. HARLAN To be Attorney General for Island
 of Porto Rico SOME BITTER WORDS USED Senator Hawley Says Mr. Chandler Made False Statement and Re-
 ceiVes a Similar Thrust From MT. Chander-Old Letter
SOME BITTER WORDS USED

Washington, January 21.-The Senate, in executive session, today confirmed the nomination of James S. Harlan to be att torney general of Porto Rico. The final vote was reached about two hours discussion, and stood 4S to 21 in favor of confirmation. All of the Republicans cast their votes in the affirmative and two or three Demo- crats voted with them.
 The session was characterized by spir- ited debate between Senators Chandler and Hawley, in which bitter personal language was used The controversy between them grew out of a letter written by Senator Chandler in 1877, and which was read by Senator Pettigrew, concerning the contro- Versy over the Hayes-Tilden election, in which reference was made to the part taken by Senator Hawley and Justice Har- Ian neither then occupying his present place) in the settlement of the Louisiana controversy of that time. In that letter MT. Chandler stated that commission, of which those two gentlemen were members, had been sent to Louisiana by President Hayes to destroy the Packard State gov ernment. This having been accomplished, MT. Chandler said, the President then un- dertook to recognize the members of the commission, giving General Harlan the ap- pointment of an associate justice and of fering General Hawley the place of direc- tor of the Paris Exposition, which the lat ter had declined, MT. Chandler said, be- cause of the inadequacy of the salary.
 When this point in the article was reach ed Mir Hawley interrupted in somewhat of an excited manner to denounce the state ment as false which he did in very em- phatic and plain language. MT. Chandler replied in like manner, saying that the ar tlcle had been prepared by him twenty three years ago; that il had never before been contradicted and that he still stood by it. He added that the whole subject was ancient history and announced his in- tention to vote for MT. Harlans confirma- ton. Senators Spooner, Mason and Lind say made brief speeches. MT. Mason spoke of MT. Harlan's qualifications as a lawyer and said that he did not think any the less of Justice Harlan because of his attach ment for his family. MT. Spooner said there was to be no opposition except that Of Senator Pettigrew. Referring to MT. Spooner's remarks MT. Pettigrew quoted extracts from editorials in number of newspapers in reproduction of Mr Harlan's nomination. He said he had no purpose to delay vote, and when he concluded the ballot was taken.

 Referring to your issue under date of Sunday January 20, 1901 and an article therein contained, viz. Growth of Lime Industry" I beg to say that note with in- terest the figures compiled by MT. Lagarde of the Lagarde Lime and Stone Company (Anniston district) with respect to the out put and daily productive capacity of the various lime kilns situated in the Annis- ton district, as well as of the ones situated in the Calera district. By reference to the statement MT. Lagarde made it will be seen that the Anniston district has daily capacity of 1200 barrels against 1075 in the Calera district, which is erroneous and un- just. Not being thoroughly conversant with the real and actual capacity of the kilns situated in the Anniston district, but accepting as true Mir. Lagarde's statement as to this particular, the kilns situated in the Calera district even then have a daily capacity of about 60 per cent more than MT Lagarde claims for his district.
 The daily capacity of the lime kilns sit uated in Shelby County, Ala, and included in the Calera district is as follows:
