COTTON TRADE NOTES.

The cotton trade of Savannah still ex-
press disappointment at their inability to
obtain from the Commissioner of Agri-
culture a statement of the number of
fertilizer tags sold during the present sea
son. This information is an important fac
tor in estimating the size and condition
of the growing crop in Georgia, and for
this reason the trade are eager for the
information. The figures have already
been received from the Agricultural De-
partment of most of the other cotton
growing states. AS previously stated in
the Morning News, however, Commission
er Stevens has said the tag statistics will
not be officially promulgated from his
office until Sept. ]. Whether any further
request will be made for the information
remains to be seen.
The Savannah Cotton Exchange closed
yesterday at 2 o'clock, and will continue
the early Saturday closing during the
balance of the heated season. Aside from
the rest this gives the officials and others
connected with the exchange, the MEN,
bers also get a half holiday when there
is really no trade activity, requiring their
attention at this time. 1t is a dull spell
all around, in the cotton trading, freight.
shipping and other departments.
The cultivation of cotton in China is
thought to be not so remote as in India,
at any rate there is no record of it till
about 200 years before Christ from which
period to the sixth century cloth made
from 1t was used as a tribute or offering
to emperors as something rare and prec-
ious. 1t is stated that the Emperor Quit,
in the year 502. assembled the throne in
q robe Of cotton, which was considered a
singular circumstance In the tenth CEN
fury cotton is said TO have become an
object of common culture; and not con-
fined to the garden.

states contain certain specific provis- ions regarding the neutrality of the canal. or according foreign states the most favored nation privileges.
 The treaty between the United States and Nicaragua contains a pro- vision that this government agree to extend their protection to all such routes of communication as aforesaid. and to guarantee the neutrality and innocent use of the same" The Clay ton-Bulwer treaty also provided for the recognition of the general prin- ciple of neutrality" Even If the Clay ton Bulwer treaty were abrogated, 1t is held the remaining treaties in force would require the application of the principles of neuti ality to the canal.
 Another and most important reason for inclusion of a provision declaring the canal neutral is the attitude of Nicaragua and Costa Rico. It Is un- derstood that these two governments have indicated plainly to this govern ment their unwillingness to cede the right of way across their territory un- less the principle of neutrality be ab- solutely conceded, and in this determi- nation they have the support of other Central and South American states.
 It is probable that the administra- ton does not lose sight of the fact that the United States must respect the views of the states through whose territory the canal must pass, and thls consideration with other argu- ments in favor of neutrality, may have convinced the president that no treaty should be negotiated that does not include specific provision estab- fishing neutrality.

IRONCLADS AS PESTS.
Certain Prominent Englishmen Ex-
 press Strong Disapprovnl of In- ( creasinG the Number of Them.

The Spanish-American war has plain ly revealed to us the formidable power of ironclad ships. The only limit to it, so far as the sea and the seaboard are concerned appears 10 be the necessity of coaling. If fleet of ironclads has coaling stations everywhere, .hcre is no assignable limit to its power. Seaboard cites. unless they can be fortified, at enormous expense, will henceforth be always insecure. The nation which has many of them, or to which they are of vital importance, will'lve always in fear of attack. The range of ships guns and the destructiveness of projec- tiles are such that it would seem no or dinary coast defenses, such as forts or mines, would avail. The fort is at q disadvantage because the vessel is not nt rest. The only thing. saving torpe- docs, 10 which the ironclad ship ap- pears to be vulnerable is vertical fire, striking her unarmorcd deck, to which she can very seldom be exposed. Ac- cordingly, all nations are competing with each other in multiplication of these ships.
 It was said that at the jubilee review there was line of men-of-war 90 miles long; this, besides all the ships nt the out stations. Yet, Lord Charles Rcres- ford is cryirg out q hat the nation is de- fcnseless rnd demanding the conslruc- ton of more ironclads. More iroIcads. no doubt, would be built; the other na- tions will vie in the race, and so it will go on till an indefinite amount of the products of labor is wasted in these en- zines of destruction. Between jingo- ism and ircnclads the civilized world seems in danger of relapsirg into bar barism armed by the skill of q scien- ,iilc civilization. If any man of science could invent an easy and certain meth od of destroying these pests, so as 10 rid us of the dangers from them. and the temptation to war which the pos session of them brings with it, be would be not the least among the benc- factors of mankind.-Cor.

One of those curious coincidents of the death of a man when he had been speaking of death occurred during Holy Week in the cathedral of Nantes Father Souillard, a monk, had been preaching on death and eternity He concluded his sermon by remarking that having preached Lerten sermons for the last twenty years he noticed that almost invariably within week of his preaching some one of his hearers was called to his account. This" said he, lis a terrible example of God, and no doubt a necessary les son. If the same thing should happen here. l wish that. the person called away may be ready to appear before the Lord" Having said that he went to the sacristy He had barely reached 1t when he dropped dead.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, APRIL 2s, 1901.

The bellicose attitude of little Japan, while it may not mean war with Rus
 sia is imminent. indi- JAPAN cates that the people AND of the Mikado's en- RUSSIA. pire are on the alert
 and should they find it necessary to fight they will have their coats of and their sleeves rolled up. It Is also quite apparent that Japa- nese ministers do not share in the sanguine faith which Secretary Hay has expressed as to the disinterested- ness and honesty of Russia's purpose toward Manchuria.
 The reason for Japan's warlike at titude is that Russian supremacy in Manchuria would be a greater men ace to the Japs than to any other power, while in the event of war, owing to its naval strength, the little nation stands to lose less, The general feeling with the Japanese seems to be that war with Russia is inevitable sooner or later, and that 1t would be as we'll to fight over Manchuria as to wait and be forced to fight over Korsa. Russian aggression in Man churia, from Japanese view point, is Korea Is just the place that Japan does not want its arch-enemy to get a foothold.
 As can be seen on the map. Korea projects from Manchuria out into the sea to within 100 miles of Japan. IL was to preserve its influence in Korea that Japan fought with China. Rus sian encroachments would be far more 'menacing to the interests to the island empire than were the Chinese. That is why Japan Is so anxious to keep Manchuria in Chinese hands. and thus have a broad strip of neutral territory between Russia and the peninsula.
 While Japan is mobilizing its fleet there are also indications that Russia is not idle. From St. Petersburg comes dispatch that the czar has appointed a commission to reorganize the admin istration of the island of Sagha!ln. This island is a long stretch of land. in extent about equal to Holland and Belgium. lying along the Amur prov ince, just north of Russia. In case of a war with Japan. saghalin would be- come of the utmost importance to Rus sia. Its northern portion is so close to the mainland that troops could be landed on it without difficulty. Its southern extremity Is within fifty miles of Yezzo. the most northern of the four large Japanese islands. Ii would be by far the easiest point from which to pour an army into the milk ado's country. and the appointment of acommission to reorganize affairs on this island. while harmless enough on the face. may conceal behind 1t inn portant strategic plans, Hitherto lit- tie attention has been paid to the island. and like Amur province has been settled mostly by penal colonies.

No Century Besins on sunday.

There are some curious facts about our calendar. No century can begin on Wednesday, Friday or Sunday. The same calendars can be used every 20 same day of the week as January, April or July; September as December. Feb ruary, March and November begin on the same days. May. June and August always begin on different days from ench other, and every other month in the year. The first and last days of the year are always the same. These rules do not apply to leap year, when com parison is made between days before and after February %.

The Albuquerque Citizen is making a vigorous campaign for statehood, hoping thereby to arouse the people of New Mexico to a realization of their loss in remaining in vassalage. All the remaining territories should be wiped off the slate, and all would be but for Arlzonas action at the last election. New Mexico and Oklahoma climbed into the band wagon, whilo Arizona still preferred to walk.
