Japanese Cotton Manufacturing.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
 1lakura Nahasigma, large cotton mill owner of Iyo, Japan, arrived in the city yesterday evening and will spend sev- eral days here. He says he Is on his way back to Japan now after having spent several months in this country, coming here from St. Louis.
 MT. Nahasigma is gentleman of the new school of Japan. He speaks English as well as an Englishman. and Is thor oughly versed in affairs of all kinds. He came here, he says, to learn something of the local cotton market, with a view of increasing his firms importations of the staple. MT. Nahasigma and his part ner have the largest cotton mill in the orient, running 20,G60 spindles.
 'In ten years the cotton importations to Japan from America have grown sev- eral hu:<2red per cent, and are still grow ing. I expect the next ten years to show ten times the volume of business that is done now.
 ''The people of our country are becom- ing better educated all the time. We have used much Indis n cotton for many years but as the people improve in culture they

demand better goods. The Indian cotton is generally dirty and the staple is very short. The American product has no such drawbacks. Our mill at Iyo runs day and night, and even then we cannot keep pace with the orders which are constantly pill ing up on us We spin only yarn, confining our output to about size No. 20.
 We have great advantage of situa- tion which places Us easily in control of the eastern markets. We are in as easy reach of ono part of the world as another. Every cotton market is within easy reach, and we can always buy where the product is cheapest. The same is true Of most of the other raw material and we are studying the markets and learn ing to take advantage of tEem.
 That is what I came to America for 1 know l can't learn much from casual study. such as I am giving now, but can learn enough. perhaps, to know how to buy to advantage or to make connec- tions that can keep our mill supplied. don't think l shall remain long in Japan when get back. I shall give the busi- ness the advantage of what l have learn ed so far, and then come back again.
 There are about 150 mills in Japan, and all are busy. No mill has ever been idle, and more are going into business all the time. Each province of Japan has it's own peculiar weave and so we have cloth for each section of Japan, but they do not conflict.
 Japan is the England of the orient We rave the same advantage of situation and the same population in many respects The government has seen that Japans hope for the future is in manufacture and every encouragement is given to promote commerce and industry. Cotton goods are among our exports. We do not make quite enough yet for our own use, but we are exporting some of it to Corea and China, and both will be fine markets for our fu- ture trade
 MT Nahasigma said that most of the cotton has heretofore been exported from New York, either through Suez or across the continent, but now attention is being directed towards New Orleans. It is not coming all at once, he says, but gradu ally, and before many years New Orleans will be the great base of supply for the oTient

 An ambitious young actor, soliciting employment from Charles Frohman, dwelt upon his necessities:
 'I am just able to pay for my room and that is all'' said the young man. "I have a hall room on the East Side for which pay seventy-five cents per week."
 MT Frohman thoughtfully nodded his approval. You can't get nice room for much less," he said.

The thirty-sixth annual encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic be-
gan in Washington today, and, with the
meeting of the various auxiliary organi-
cations affiliated with the main body, will
continue until next Saturday. For in
digent veterans large tents have been
erected on the White House grounds
and several floors of the new government
printing office have been utilized.
Crowds of visitors have been pouring in
to the city and at the raj lway stations it
is said that the number of persons COM
ing to the encampment is perhaps greater
than ever before brought to the city on
any occasion.
The business houses and private resi-
dences along Pennsylvania avenue and
the other main throughfares of the city
have been appropriately decorated for
the encampment season but the rain OF
Yesterday considerably damaged the
decorations.
Today there was an automobile
parade, a regatta on the Potomac river,
the dedication of Camp Roosevelt on
the White Lot, at which Secretary of
State John Hay made the chief address,
and a grand campfire at Convention
Hall.
Tuesday the naval parade will take
up the morning, while the afternoon
and evening is to be DEVOTED to recep-
tons and reunions.
Wednesday will occur the parade of
the Grand Army of the republic, while
in the evening number of receptions
will be held. The announcement is
made that President Roosevelt will not
review the parade. Tile President is
not yet been able to rest his foot on the
floor.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday will
be devoted to the meetings of the ma
tional encampment and the various
auxiliary bodies and to reunions and
receptions.
A preliminary to the gatherings of
the veterans at Camp Roosevelt during
encampment week was the holding of
religious services there yesterday after
noon and night in Grant tent. The
rain interfered with the attendance.

dent Mitchell is expected later in the

devote the entire day to discussion OF

down, he will apply for the Office himself
General Allen knows the strong fight being
made against him and has declared that those

To Operate on Armour child.

Chicago. Oct. 6.-Fiye-year-old Lolita
Armour, since her birth so badly crippled
that she has never taken step, is soon
to receive treatment from two of the best
known surgeons in the world. The dis
articulated hip joints, which have defied
all the efforts of science, have been the
cause of almost uncomfortable grief to her
millionaire father, ]. Ogden Armour,
and to Mrs. Armour, who now have sent
across the Atlantic for the best specialists
that money can employ.
Dispatches from Vienna announced
that the surgeons had left for Chicago to
perform the operation in which the best
American specialists have failed of COM
plete success.
Prof. Adolf Lorenz of the medical fac
ulty of the University of Vienna, and
DR.. FREDERICK Mueller, known to medi-
cal science as among the greatest specia-
lists in bone diseases, are the surgeons
who are expected. DR.. Lorenz is the
first surgeon who ever performed the
operation necessary in this case, and he
has performed in with success many
times in Europe.
Until Lolita was year old she was
kept in rosewood incubator to
strengthen her tiny frame. On Decem.
Der 81, 1900, DIR. John Ridlon per-
formed an operation to restore the child
to health by attempting to set the hips
in place. The operation was performed
by the surgeon after he had spent
months studying the case. At that
time it was believed to be successful.
The Joints were set and there was every
hope that they would remain in proper
position, but in spite of the work of
the surgeon and the Utmost care given,
the child never gained the use of her
legs.
London. Oct. GA dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Vienna states that
Prof. Adolf Lorenz, tie Austrian physi-
clan who has start@l for Chicago to
treat J. Ogden Armolir's child, will re-
turn in February. His remuneration
and expenses will be $4,000.

BRAIN.FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscles, and
still another for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish particular part OF
the body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food may
be, its nutriment is destroyed by indi.
gestion or dyspepsia You must prepare

digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get

The Strike Situation.

Wilkesbarrc, Pa, Oct. 6.-Sixteen
men from Philadelphia arrived in this
city last evening and were at once taken
to the No. 8 washery of the Lehigh and
WiIkesbarre Coal Co., at Ashley and
operations were resumed there this morn
ing. It was feared trouble would follow
any attempt to open the washery. The
non-union men we're not interferred with:
They are all well guarded by coal and
iron police. -,
Mount Carmel, Pa, Oct. 6.-Ihis
morning crowd of strikers hurled rocks
at the Fourth regiment encampment
here. Sentries fired several vollies Ill
the direction from whence the missiles

some one of the attacking party was
wounded. Soldiers guarding Fighter
colliery last night captured strikers
armed with shot guns.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 6.--President
Mitchell has disappeared and no one
can tell where he has gone. 1t is
rumored he has left for Washington.
Tamaqua, Pa, Oct. 6.-The general
situation of the southern anthracite field
is unchanged today. This morning
guards were stationed at certain points
along the Philadelphia & Reading Rail
road to guard the tracks. The object OF
the strikers now seems to be to stop the
shipment of coal TO the markets and
make the famine so acute that the coal
companies will be forced to yield. Yes
terday a section of track was dynamited
at point near Ringgold. 1t is re-
ported that Governor Stone is making
preparations to call out the entire ma
tional guard.
Clarkesburg, w. Va, Oct. 6.-Seven-
teen coal mines opened and fully 1000
miners resumed work this morning.
The mines are all in the southern part

his power to settle the strike. He simply
will not discuss the question or permit
it to be discussed in his presence.
Shamokin, Pa, Oct. 6.-No attempt
to resume operation at any colllerles
was made this morning. So far no break
in the miners ranks has occurred.
Shenandoah, Pa, Oct. Ga renewa
of last weeks disorderly scenes occurred
at Girardyille Sunday evening with thu
appearance of coal and iron policeman
in that town. He was met by mob o
200 strikers, who pursued him to hi
home, hurting stones and epi1ets as they
ran. A report reaches this city from
Ringtown this morning of an attempt t.
blow up bridge.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 6.-The efior
to resume operations at the Sterling
washery this morning proved a failure, al
the men engaged for that purpose became
frightened when they learned of the
shooting at Kingston and ran from thu
stockade to their homes. The com
pany officials say today that the,
can secure sufficient number o
new men to start work at the washer,

the blood of their fellowman whose only
crime was desire to make his living by
the sweat of his face. The limbs of the
yelled goddess were bound with cords
labelled "politics." In the name oil
humanity, the sacred institutions of the

wives and children, are such crimes to
be continued in a country which has
ever boosted of being the asylum fer the
