Egyptian cotton is being introduced

1t is much more desirable than the |
cotton raised in the United States now,
and is even better than the sea island
cotton. The Egyptian cotton has
much longer fiber than other cottons,
and its seed can be removed so easily
that it is not necessary to cut up the
cotton in ginning it.

THE DANISH

Quite a sensation was stirred up in
Washington Thursday by the resolu-
items introduced by Representative
Richardson of Tennessee, leader of
the Democrats in the house, asking for
an investigation into the charges that
a portion of the purghase money for
the Danish islands, recently acquired
from Denmark, had been used to bride
certain newspapers and members of
congress in helping get the matter
through successfully. The matter
seems to be founded upon an alleged
report Of n Walter Christmas, who
is or was at n time connected with
the Danish embassy at Washington,
and whom, it is alleged acted as the
agent of the Danish government in
this matter. 1t is alleged that the
sum used is $500, 900. The resolutions
were passed unanimously and the
speaker promptly appointed the COM
mittee. 1t is to be hoped that the
committee will make a thorough in
vestigation spsring no on connected
with the scandal. if any there was. In
the matter which Mr.. Richardson
placed before the house, there was ar
attempt to implicate Abner Mckinley,
brother of the late president. From
what was given to the house there
does not seem to be anything in THU

Senator Hansbrough of North Dakots
has called attention to a matter in
connection with Cuba which he be-
lieves demands the attention of con-
gress at once. This is the granting of
concessions to Cuba On a reciprocal
basis. If the United States does not
do 80 at once, the senator believes that
as soon as the Cuban government is
established Germany and France will
at once seek to negotiate commercial
treaties upon most favorable basis, for
a long term of years, and as a result the
bulk of the Cuban trade will go to
those countries. More than this the
senator believes that Cuban mex
ton to the United States is only a
matter of time. 1t in two, five or ten
years, but it is bound to come he
says, and then the commercial treaties
which the Cubans might negotiate
abroad, will turn up to plague the
Americans. All this trouble he thinks
can be avoided by making concessions
now on a reciprocal basis, which will
not only give the United States the
bulk of the Cuban trade, but avoid
any possibilities of future entangel-
ments with European nations from
that source. The senator's sugges
tions are entitled to careful attention.
There is no doubt but that there are
several European nations STANDING
ready to make any sort of compact
with Cuba to keep her trade, which
in a few years will be worth many
4 millions

Commissioner of Pensions, Evans,
has handed his resignation to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. 1t is understood that
it will be accepted by the president to
take effect wnen there is a good open
ing to send Mr.. Evans abroad. 1t is
said that the president would like to
sen him as our first ambassador to
Cuba, but that Mr.. Evans does not
fancy that berth, but would prefer
the japanese mission. This is an i'm
possibility just at present but it may
be arranged to make the transfer later
on if the opportunity offers. 1t is also
said that he may be given the Next
can mission, in case it is decided best
to make a change there. Mr.. Evans
has administered the affairs of the
pension office in good shape, but ha:
never been popular with a large ele'
ment of the old veterans, who have
| desired a more liberal Interpretation
of the pension laws. His policy, how
ever, was most satisfactory to Presi
| dent Mckinley, and has been also, tt
| President Roosevelt, and it is said tina
| the president will insist upon a con
tinuation of that policy by his success
sor, whoever he may be. This will b
an endorsement, of Evans, and will
suit the country as a whole.

HANNA NOT A CANDIDATE.

Senator Hanna has written a letter
to a friend in reply to a question ask
ed, in which he declares he is not a
candidate for the presidency, does not
want it, and wishes that all talk OF
that kind be stopped. There is no
question but that the senator is sincere
in this. Notwithstanding the reports
of some of the correspondents and
certain politicians, the Ohio senator is
on excellent terms with the president,
and is often called on for advice and
there is no question but that a
thorough. understanding exists be-
tween them. There is no shrewder
politician in the country than Marcus
A. Hanna, and he is quick to detect
the feeling of the masses and governs
himself accordingly. He has noted
the strong Roosevelt sentiment
throughout the country among the
masses, and has no desire to run up
against, even though he may possess
a strong desire to occupy the white
house. Senator Hanna has grown
greatly since he entered the senate,
and today he occupies a most unique
position as regards capital and labor.
He has always enjoyed the confidence
| of capital, and he seems today to be
| winning that of labor to a like extent.
| Aside from President Roosevelt he is
doubtless today the most available
man in the Republican party for the
| presidential nomination, and were he
to receive the nomination would win
the election. But from the present
outlook his time is not in 1904, and no
one recognizes it more fully than the
| senator.

CORONER TO INVESTIGATE.
Burial Certificate of 0~steopathic Doc
tor Not Accepted.

Coroner Kennedy was called upon
this afternoon to investigate the cause
of death of Herman Meyer, the young
son of Joseph Meyer, living at 1917
North Sixth street, which occurred
Saturday. The case was brought to
his attention by-a telegram from DR..
H. M. Bracken, secretary of the state
board of health. who declined to &C.
cept the burial certificate issued by
DR.. Maltby, an osteopathic practi-
TONER, because he gis not a licensed
physician. The telegram calls upon
the coroner to hold a post mortem ex-
animation.
1t apears hat DR.. Steel had the case
first, and that DR.. Maltby was called
subsequently. DR.. Steel diagnosed
the case as meningitis. The cause of
death given on the burial certificate
issued by DR.. Maltby lis ''lung trou-
BILE, pneumonia. la grippe" When
the certificate was turned over to
Health Officer Hielscher by the under
taker, the health officer called up DR..
Bracken by telephone and stated the
case to him. DR.. Bracken stated that
burial certificates were not to be &C
copied from any but licensed physi-
clans.
County Attorney Wilson states that
osteopaths are not licensed physicians
in this state, and that certificates is
ued by them need not be accepted
by health officers.
Coroner Kennedy will try to ascer-
tain the cause of death without a post
norton, if possible, to Ia ex-
pense for the county.
Mr.. Kennedy late this afternoon
consulted with the county attorney
and was advised that DR.. Steel's certi-
fcate would be sufficient.

THE GRIP AGAIN
A Simple Suggestion as to How
to Guard Against it and
its After-EffeCtS.

Every year upon the approacho OF spring
grip seems to make its appearance. Once
every few years it spreads and assumes
alarming proportions. From all appear
ances this is one of the years in which it
will seize upon a great number of VIC
Tins, for every day new cases are re-
ported both in the east and west.
Like scarlet and typhoid fever, the
af~ter-effects of grip are often worse than
the disease itself. The sufferer is left
with a debilitated system, short of breath
upon the slightest exertion, affected by
every change of the weather and in a
physical condition to invite the attack Of
the many diseases induced by the incle-
ment weather of early spring.
A timely suggestion as to how to en-
able the system to resist the inroads Of
grip and its after-effects is given in the
experience of Miss Mary E. Chase, an
operator in a shoe factory, living at No.
2775 Washington street, Roxbury Dist,
Boston, Mass. She says:

VAN SAINT SHOCKED THEM.

Crookston Times: Some of Chica-
go's elect, with a marked leaning to-
ward royalty, tried to rush Gov. Van
SAINT when he visited the prince in
that city recently. Our governor
declined to be rushed. He had travelled
four hundred miles to bring greetings
of Germans of his state. The hour
of meeting had been fixed, and the
governor proposed to keep the appoint
ment and wished the prince to do like
wise. Gov. Van SAINT is a business
man who believes in doing things at
the drop of the hat. He waits for no
one and asks not even royalty to wait
for him. He was in Chicago to see
Prince Henry as governor of a great
state, and he didn't propose to go on
his knees in the presence of a person
of inferior station. Chicago royalty
worshipers are shocked.

The suggestion has been made that
Jacob A. Riis be made the first COVER
nor of the Danish Islands recently
acquired from Denmark. The sugges-
ton is a good one. Riis would not
only make a good governor, but as the
Minneapolis Journal points out, it
would be a peculiarly happy feature
that the first American governor of
an ancient Danish colony should be
himself a Dane by birth and rearing.

All very true. But there seems to
be no demand that the next president
shall be a Democrat. The country
seems content to continue matters as
they are. But by the way, where
could the Democrat be found who
would measure up with the require
ments of the Times. 1t certainly is
not Bryan, nor any of his immediate
associates.

more than that it was suggested that
he would be a good man to assist In
the matter, as he had ready access to
the white house and to members OF
congress, but the American people will
be very 10th to believe until strong
evidence is put forward, that he was
drawn into the net, and the honored
name of Mckinley smirched by any
such shady transaction. But be that
as it may, the committee named to
investigate, should spare no man in
high or low place, who may have been
connected with the alleged scandal.
