Most OF the hands of the cotton mills are

hundreds Of girls could work together in
one room and not talk. 1 mentioned this
thought to the guide later on. He replied.

The factory girls impressed me as by nc

stopped one who was carrying two bundles
from one broker to another and photo
graphed him. This was on the Flags of
the exchange, where, later on, 4 saw the
brokers out in the open air buying and
selling.
1t used to be that all Of the cotton BUSH
ness of Liverpool was done out Of doors.
There is a court in the exchange known as
the Flags" and the bulk of the cotton is
bought and sold on the Flags instead of
under cover. / went through the ex-
change with it's secretary. He informed
me that Liverpool has little fear of Man
chester taking it's cotton business away
from it, and that the natural landing
place Of American cotton is and always
will be at the Liverpool docks.
The cotton business Of Liverpool is very
great. 1t is, l am told, the largest cotton
market of the world. 1 can easily believe
this from the business l saw going on at
the huge cotton warehouses, and from the
six and eight-ton loads Of cotton bales,
each hauled by two of Liverpool's famous
horses. which make a steady procession
along the Wharves and through the busiest
streets leading up from the docks.
The Biggest Exchange in the World.
Quite as interesting as the Liverpool ex-
change is that of Manchester, which IL
said to be the largest exchange building Of
the world. 1t is a magnificent structure
In the very heart Of the city, built in the
classical style out Of massive stones, nov
blackened by the smoke of the cotton mill,
of the region about. II was yesterday
that l entered the great hall with one o
the brokers and watched the 5000 mel
who gather there from the 100 cottol
own near by to buy and sell all sorts o
goods, every Tuesday and Friday.
The hall covers almost an acre and 1t 1
crowned with a dome ninety-six feet high

arms Of the United States.
In the exchange not only raw cotton, bI

goods. There are 800 resident purchasing
agents, who represent every civilized coun-
try on earth, who spend their time here
looking into the products of this region and
buy Ing them for their customers. There
are many Syrians and East Indians, men
from Australia and South America and from
the United States and all parts OF Europe.
The business with China is chiefly done
through the English firms, which have their
direct connection with Manchester. / found
the brokers, however, a little apprehensive
that our cotton might crowd them out of
the Chinese market. We are already ship
ping the most of the cotton for north China,
and with a better class of goods we might
capture the trade Of the Yangtse-Kiang and
the south.
Big English Cotton Factory.
But let me tell you something about the
cotton mill of Richard Haworth & Co. which
/ have just visited. 1t is one Of the largest
in England. 1t employs 5000 hands, pays
out 100000 in wages every year and weaves
300 miles of cloth every week. 1t has 5000
looms and 120, 900 spindles. and its floor
space is more than twelve acres. The mill
is situated in Stafford within a stones throw
Of the great docks that Manchester has built
at the end Of her mighty ship canal, so that
vessels from New Orleans and Galveston
can bring the raw cotton almost from the
plantation to the mill.
We started in at the boiler room, where
seven great furnaces eat up nearly 300 tons
Of coal per week., went by the engines work
ing away with a power equal to that Of
1000 horses and then entered the yard
where men were unloading great bales Of
Texas cotton into the mills.
We next followed the bales and saw tn,
various processes by which they are turned
into cloth. The work is lone much as II

is Chicago man and naturally favors
his own city.
A site of nearly 200 acres will be re-
quircd. The school is to afford instruc-
tion to nearly l.500 apprentices. and an
expenditure of nearly Sl.oO0,0O0 will
be entailed. To afford the necessary
instruction q number of small vessels
and gunboats will be commissioned,
though the existing treaty between
Great Britain and the United States
forbids the maintenance of large armed
vessels on the great lakes.
At present the United States navy
has only two training stations, one at
San Francisco and the other at New
port, X. |. \ training station on the
lakes has long been considered ne
cessity. About 40 per cent of the en-
listed men of the navy are from the
states between the Allegheny and the
Rocky mountains, but the boys from
this section must go to San Francisco
or Newport for the necessary prelimi-
nary training. 1t is said that the dis
tance from home induces homesick-
ness and is prime cause Of desertions
and applications for discharge. AS
Congressman Foss phrases it, when
n station Is established on the lakes
this difficulty will disappear. The
young sailor could go home wearing
his sailor suit. and he would return
filled with new enthusiasm and
beaming with patriotism.
ut Is believed that the establishment
of naval training station on the lakes
will have the effect of drawing into
our navy great many strong and
sturdy young men from the fields and
farms of the middle west who will
make excellent seamen."

Colonel r. p. Cook, general superin-

Dickey, superintendent of the Western
Union, Omaha, met with heart

In the course of their observations
they descended some distance from the

from the size of mans hand to those
weighing hundreds of pounds began
to roll down the precpice In such
close proximity to them that their
lives depended upon lodging them.
Colonel Cook who is rather small of
stature, managed to escape the fusil-
lade by lying low, but with Colonel
Dickey, he being six footer, all de-
pended upon his quick eye and ability
to dodge. After the shower of rock,
dirt and moss ceased and the party
could straighten up and look around
they beheld half dozen beautiful
specimens of wild Rocky mountain
sheep, who in their mad flight to es-
cape the gaze of man were tearing
loose the powders above them, and all
felt greatly relieved when they realized
that the siege was over. The attack
lasted twenty minutes.

the tutor of Prince Ching, the prime
minister of China. Sir Liang is wild
over, his wife having died about
year ago. 1t is not believed that he
will bring his children to this country
for the present, it being the policy Of
the higher class Chinese to have their
children well grounded in the Chinese
idea before opening to their knowledge
the broader idea of western civiliza-
ton.
Sir Liang was one of a large number
of young Cinnamon who were sent by
the Celestial government to the United
States in 1872 to study American
methods and laws. He studied at Phil
lips academy, Andover, and later en-
tered Amherst, but before graduating
was recalled to China.
At the time it was said that the boys
were getting too much Americanism.
He had absorbed many western ideas
i'll the meantime, however, and took
them back to the Celestial empire.
Sir Liang's appointments is due, 1t is
said, to his knowledge of the United
States and his education on the lines
which have made WI Ting Fang such
valuable representative of China in
the United States. He is fond of socie-
ty and, it is expected. will do a great
deal of entertaining in Washington. 1t
Is stated that he will assume his duties
about the first of the year.
Sir Liang was sent to England as the
special envoy of the emperor of China
to King Edwards coronation. --

Canadian Apples For Great Britain.

Canadian Apples For Great Britain.
A million barrels of apples is the
order which one dealer of Belleville,
Canada, received from an English
house, and he has started buyers out
to get the goods says the Boston
Transcript The significance Of this
can be seen when it is remembered
that million barrels of apples would
in most seasons in the past equal near
ly the whole of Canada's export. This
order is, therefore, far and away in
excess of any order ever received be-
fore by Canadian dealer. G. @. Creel-
man, superintendent of farmers insti-
tutes. who has been travelling through
the province lately, reports that there
will be good crop of apples In all
sections.
