Picturesque Features of the

Washington Likely to Be the
Permanent Encampment

From Tho Journal Bureau, Room, 20, Post
Building, Washtn0ton-
Washington Aug. 9.-This city will be-
come the permanent headquarters of the
G. A. R. if the plans of prominent men,
bers of the order are carried out. Fur
thermore, it is possible that all spectacu-
lar features that have heretofore marked
the gatherings will be abandoned, and
that from now on Washington will be the
regular encampment city.
For some years there has been a grow
ing feeling among veterans that owing to
their advancing years it would not be
practical to continue the great annual
gatherings that have marked the or
ganization's history, and that the G. A.
R. should be placed on business rather
than social basis.
The prime object of the grand army,
as the leaders now believe, should be to
look after the material welfare of the
members Of the organization All aid
must come from congress and it is
pointed out that with headquarters To-
| Gated in some distant city it is with the
greatest difficulty that the trainers of
legislation are effectively reached.

ments principally business gatherings and
to pay the entire expenses out of the
revenues of the association, without ap-
pealing to citizens to contribute to the

field for the cotton manufacturing indus
try, mill is to be built with eventually
100000 spindles and 10000 looms, able to
consume 100000 tons of cotton year.
During the past three months more new
mills have been begun in the southern
states, and more old ones enlarged than
ever before. In this short time sixteen
new mills have been announced, with an
aggregate of 128,500 spindles and 2,570
looms, involving an expenditure of S514,-
900. simultaneously thirty south
ern mills announce that they are increas-
ing their capacity by 1858, ,63z spindles.
Americas competition with Lancashire
can be divided into two parts, southern
and northern. The southern has in the
past been the least dangerous. Employ
ing inferior labor and child labor, it has
manufactured mostly cheap lines of poor
quality. But the south is rapidly improv-
ing, and in the end will be the foe most
to be feared. Northern capitalists with
northern methods are Transforming things
there. With cotton grown at the factory
doors, with cheap water power and cheap
living, the south is given splendid start.
The north has fought on more equal
terms with England. Its manufactures
are of a much higher class. Why has it
eaten into England's old preserve? The
principal reasons can be briefly given.
In the main, the Lancashire manufacturer
economies in material, but does not
economize in human labor. The New
England owner, on the contrary. econo-
miZes in human labor, but is Waste1ul,
according to our practice, in raw material.
The Lancashire operative cares for 1our
looms, the New England operative keeps
eight working. Even after all allowance
is made for speed in running. much more
is turned out per head In an American
for orv than in an English.

BEVERIDGE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN 1908

New York, Aug. 9.-Reports from At
lantic City say that with the number OF
government officials and well-known poll.
t1cians who have been in Atlantic during
the past week good deal of politics has
naturally been discussed. And perhaps
the most Interesting bit Of this sort of
talk is an announcement, privately made,
but which, by reason Of the speaker, might
be considered semioficial, to the effect
that the young Senator Beveridge, of In
diana, is going to make the fight of his
life for the presidential nomination in
1908.
This information came from the man
who has been the senator's political spon
sor since he first made his debut on the
stage of statecraft, and to whom Is due all
the credit for Beveridge's election to the
senate. 1t may be recalled by some that
the administration was opposed to the
election of the young Indianian, so vigor-
ously opposed that the appointment of Ad-
Olson G. Harris Of Indianapolis to the
court of Austria was made largely with a
hope Of satisfying that branch of the re-
publican party which was boosting Bever-
adge. But in the hands OF the astute and

London, Aug 9-The action of the Mas
ter Cotton Spinners' Federation of Lam
cashire in recommending universal short
time is still the topic, of conversation.
For some months it has been recog-
nized that the cotton trade was nearing
crisis, and although the action of the
American spectators has expedited mat
ters, 1t has not been the sole factor IN
causing the present distress.
Lancashire was once the cotton manu-
featuring mistress of the world. This
place is rapidly slipping from her. New
competitors have arisen, and nothing but
the extraordinary skill of masters and
men in the North could have kept trouble
back so long. The American speculator
is &. temporary nuisance-the American
manufacturer is a growingly dangerous
and ever-present competitor. He sells
his goods in England's home market and
fights her for foreign fields.
During the first half of this year Eng
lish imports of raw material for textile
manufactures declined by 364,5 500 over
the corresponding period of 1901, and ex-
ports of manufactured textiles also de-
clined by G84,699. For the month OF
June the imports of raw cotto on fell from
1889 cwt. in June, 1901, to 469,692 cwt
Imports of manufac ctured cotton rose from
93S9,256 to &423,768. These figures tell
their own tale.

time, while the American is making rapid
strides. Almost every mail from the
United States brings news of fresh mills
on a gigantic scale being erected there.
From Massac chusetts comes word that the
great iron works mills at Fall River are
adding 3OO,0 900 spindles and 10000 looms to

MORGAN'S TROUBLE AT THE CUSTOM HOUSE

New York, Aug. 81. Pierpont Morgan, 1t
is announced. will sail from England Aug.
1S, bound for New York. His home coming
is awaited with deep interest in the fnan-
cial world, as well as the United States
customs circles, where the officials are
wondering whether his arrival will be ac-
companied by such combination of cir
oumstances, amusing as we'll as embarras-
sing, as those which occurred upon his
last return to this country, year ago.
The story in detail Of MI. Morgan's ex-
perience at that time has been carefully
guarded secret in the custom house for
twelve months. 1t was told for the hrSt
time to a reporter by high customs Of
fetal who is under no pledge OF secrecy
Up to April year. ago the customs
provisions Of the Dingley law that Amer
lean travellers returning from abroad may
bring into the country free of duty wear
ing apparel to the value Of $500 only had
never been strictly enforced.
In April of last year. however, Col
lector Bidwell, under pressure from big
importers and dry. goods men OF the city.
determined to enforce the very letter of
the law Every customs inspector who
had been known to have accepted tip
was discharged from the service and dep
uty collectors were placed upon the pier
with instructions strictly to enforce the
statute.
All this occurred during Mr.. Morgan's
absence in Europe and when he arrived
at quarantine last June he signed the
formal declara ton under the impression
that it was still a mere formallty. He
failed to declare several trunks OF fine
clothing from his London tailor.
Having signed the formal declaration,
Mr.. Morgan was preparing to leave the
ship to board his yacht Corsair. which
had come down the bay to meet him,
when he was politely informed by Colonel
Storey, the boarding officer in charge Of
the revenue cutter. that under the new
rules it would be impossible to leave the
ship until it had reached the dock and

thoroughly conducted.

For several years immigrants have come
over the border in large numbers, settling

DISCUSSION OF THE CABINET CHANGES

board of education. The disappearance
of Sir j. Gorst is rather regretted and
is thought probably to be due to his al
ways outspoken criticism of the govern
ment.
Some among the new men are cons1d-
cred to be promising; but on the whole
the changes are thought to be safe rather
than brilliant.
Perhaps the most remarkable appoint
metn is that of Andrew Bonar Law as
parliamentary secretary to the board OF
trade. .Mr. Law is an iron merchant OF
Glasgow and was born in 1858. He is
son of the Rev. James Law of New Bruns-
wick. He has only sat in parliament
for two years and has only spoken about
twice since he was elected; but upon
these occasions he revealed great intel
lectual power. He is man OF good Dusl-
ness capacity, but, being only business
man and without powerful connections,
his choice for the Office allotted him by
the tory premier is considered unusual, ii
not surprising. 1t is fully expected that
further changes in the cabinet will be
made during the autumn session Of par
lament.
In response to a question put by John
G. Butcher conservative member of the
house of commons, regarding the advisa-
bility of appointing member of the royal
family to be viceroy of Ireland. with
permanent residence there, Premier Bal
| four said that such step might possibly
| be advisable, but that it would entail pro-
| longed controversies and a new act OF
