Efforts.
GREAT REVIVAL OF BUSINESS
Opening Of Gold Mines Expected to In

by English Manufacturers to Make
Superior Mining Machinery.

Consul General Evars at London has
sent TO the state Department a number
Of newspaper clippings regarding the
competition for the recovery of trade Of
South Africa
IN speaking Of the immense imports
that will be required by the country as
the gold mines get into operation again,
and especially the imports Of mining ma
chinery, one of the newspapers estimates
that they viii be $500 900 more than
they are st present. This paper says Of
American competition with Great Brit
ain in furnishing these goods
The only serious competition will
come from America Il does not neces-
sarily follow that the machinists Of
Lancashire and the Black Country
should throw up the sponge before the
first round. They can learn many les
sens from the enterprisiDg Americans
and creep into his footsteps
One reason Why the costly mine ma
chtnery has, in late years. come largely
from the United States IS tt:s The

all intents the sane as has been used in
the silver mines OF Nevada for many
years. and competitif L there evolved the

TO develop there was the plant ready for
shipment IN New York; but. IN spite
of low ocean fTeights, the American has

OF mine outfits, have started huge works
at Firth for the production of these

it that the Britise firms cannot make
headway with their drills against the
Americans?
There is not British drill at work on
the Rand; they are heavy, cumbrous,
slow The American machine is light,
compact, easily worked. OF course. dia-
mond drills have been in use so long IN
America that the type has been perfect

earthly reason why the same or a better
machine should not be turned out from

No one need be surprised TO learn that
America walks of with the lions share
of trade IN food supplies. The enor-

ming deposits OF that country send their
surplus here on terms Of cost and freight
that render British competition hope

ARMENIAN APPEALS
TO SECRETARY HAY
Asks intervention for His
Countymen in Turkey.
R0UMANIk NOTE DISCUSSED
President of Armenian National Union
Disposed to Question Motive of Sec
rotary of States Letter to the Pow
ers-Faith in the American People.

The State Department has received q
letter from Ardashes H. Keieian. of ST.
Louis. president of the Armenian Nation
al Union. composed of %, 000 Armenians
in this country, in which Secretary Hay
is requested to intervene with the Eu-
ropean powers in behalf Of the Arme-
mans in Turkey.
Referring to Secretary Hays note to
the European powers in regard to the
Roumanian Jews, Mr. Keleian says in
his letter, in part:
The appeal is really the most notable
action which you have taken for justice
on behalf of the great American Repub-
lie and people The motive of your call
is TO some extent q mystery. Il is eth
er the influence of some notable Jewish
citizens Of Europe or America. OF an IN
avoidabIe interest on the part OF your
self in shTewd diplomacy
Americans Unprotected
Mr. Keleian contends that the same
treaty that was intended to guarantees
protection to the Roumanian Jews was
also intended to protect the Armenians.
So far IS the actual protection received
by the Armenians under the Berlin
treaty is concerned, NJ. KeIeian says.
The Christian powers Of Europe in
the Berlin treaty guaranteed that under
their charge Turkey would reform Ar
menia and afford the Armepians proteC-
ton from the Kurds and other tribes.
Though the Balkan states we're freed,
IL was not through the help of the pow
ers, but through their own struggles.
But the powers looked on the condition
of things in Armenia as satisfactory 10
their own interests despite the most
dreaded reports made by their own con-
suis.
My intention is not TO denounce the
American spirit shown in 1866. the
years OF the Armenian massacres. to
ward the Armenian condition. but l can
not help asking; Was It because CT this
American material Government that
kept in silence the American Secretary
4 voice for humanity would have done
world Of good and would certainly have
saved the lives Of 100000 martyrs.
Abandoned by the Powers.
But let me remind you humbIy that
the same powers. after they had signed
the treaty. shamefully left the Ar.ne-
mans to be slaughtered by the Sultan
and left the Armenian states to destruc-
ton. They were all implicated in the
great deaT of the Sultan"
The writer concluded by saying tina.
the ArmvniaDs no longer believe il
crowned heads, but that instead they
believe in the people Of their country.
and that they also believe IN the Amer
lean people de also said that hereafter
the voice Of freedom is not to be sought
after for the sake Of Christianity, but
for the sake Of Justice.

owes a debt of gratitude to DR.. r. Fl. Lewis, Sec

owes a debt to the press of the State for putting
them before the reading public. There are doubt

We should have noted last week that the Bibli-

are now published in the same building in which
The Progressive Farmer is located. These neigh
bors of ours also came out in 16-page forms last
week, with handsome covers as additional attrac-
lions. Both papers are ably edited and deserve
the prosperity that they enjoy. The reader will
recall that the managers of the three papers have
formed a cooperative company to do their own
printing and presswork. And the Advocates trib-
ute to the men who manage our mechanical de-
partment is well merited: "Our foreman is Mr..

This press dispatch from New Orleans is of
more than ordinary interest: "The construction
of some twenty new cotton-seed mills in Missis-
sjppi for this seasons seed crop, and the fight be-
tween the independent mills and those in the
trust, have resulted in sending the price of cotton
seed up to $19 a ton, the highest price known for
years, as against a maximum of $40 a ton last sea-
son, and with prospects of a still higher price as
the competition grows warmer" Another dis
patch, which comes from Austin, Texas, says that
the great meat-packing houses, the Armours and
the Swifts, are buying up the Independent oil
mills in the Lone Star State.
