BUILDERS OF SHIPS
SEE HARD TIMES
ARE IN STORE
PERIODS OF DEPRESSION is CON-
ING TO THE PEOPLE IN ENG
LAND WHO BUILD BIG
SHIPS.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-There is no long
er doubt that a period of depression is
in store for British ship building, cables
the London correspondent of The Tribune
With the freight market in its present
wretched state there is little inducement
to build new vessels and from ship CEN
tres agree in saying that.there already is
a marked diminution in new contracts.
This growing death of new work is such
that Il is feared that the coming winter
will see a decided change for the worse
in British ship yards.
Norway has just wrested orders for two
American mail boats from British Tender
ers and Germany, not content with sup
plying growing home needs, is now cut
ting in keenly for foreign work. and
building vessels for Danish and Russian
owners who, at one time, invariably
brought their contracts to this country.
England has no longer a ship building
monopoly, and British ship builders are
warned against ignoring the signs OF the
times. The Shipping Gazette says that a
truth, which needs to be recognized, is
that in methods Of production which make
for economy England is behind America,
and in scientifically trained workmen be-
hind Germany.

ATLANTA GROWING
As A COTTON
MAKE 7
DURING YEAR WHICH HAS JUST
CLOSED THE RECEIPTS IN
BALES INCREASED BY MORE
THAN $1,000.

The cotton receipts in Atlanta for the
season just closed show an increase Of
81, 745 bales over the receipts of last year.
The year ends with August. The receipts
for the year just closed amounted to 17S,-
766. For the previous year the receipts
were 112.021.
This shows a wonderful increase in the
amount Of cotton brought into the city.
1t proves that Atlanta will some day be
one of the leading cotton markets of the
south. The market here is prepared to
handle the cotton and there Is no reason
why the amount brought here should not
continue to increase.
The development of the Atlanta cotton
market is a comparatively recent move
ment. Until the last few years no especial
effort was made to make Atlanta great
cotton market. With the forces now at
work rapid progress in this direction may
be reasonably expected.

700 PEOPLE ARE
KILLED BY LANDSLIDE

VIENNA, Sept. S.-News has been re-
ceived here from Tiflis. Trans Caucasus.
Russia, of a landslide which occurred
August II in the vicinity of Mount Kas-
ibek, and which resulted in the destruc-
ton of some twenty villages and the loss
of nearly 200 lives. Seismic disturbances
seem to have started a glacier, which
swept down a valley and destroyed every
thing in it's path.
On the northern slope of Mount Kas-
bek lies the watering place of Tmehkau.
Early in the morning of August II sub
terranean disturbances occurred at Tmen-
kau, but the hundreds of bathers in the
hot springs there secuted the idea OF a
catastrophe.
At o'clock of that evening the entire
valley resounded width a deafening noise
resembling thunder and loud underground
rumblings. The valley stream became
mighty torrent sweeping huge blocks of
rock and ice. Then the bathers tried TO
escape but Ii was too late. The entire
northern slope OF Mount Kasbek, with
the glacier above. began to move more
rapidly. Village after village was swept
away and everything in the path Of the
landslide was destroyed. Within a few
minutes the valley, which is nearly IL
miles long, had been devastated by a wall
of rock ice and earth. The valley was
completely filled up in some places TO
1epth of nearly a thousand feet by the
matter which was thrown into it. A
nerce hurricane ragged and che bodies or
people and animals were flung by the wind
to a great height and dashed against the
rocks.

WHITE REBELS ARE AT WAR;
BANDITS ROB RESIDENCES

COLON. Colombia, Sept. "a small
band of armed robbers has lately been
terrorizing the foreign and other residents
of Porto Bello, Playa Dana and other
points of that section of the coast. The
robbers have extorted money, in many
instances on the plea that it was for the
liberal cause.
The government gunboat General Pin
zon paroled the Porto Bello coast and
landed a small armed force, but the rob-
bers betook themselves to the hills upon
the arrival of the government forces, and
they have not been captured.

SIR THOMAS STILL
AF TER THAT CUP
Of D j R s
CHALLENGE EXPECTED IN A FEW
DAYs-HERREsHoFF WANTS
TO BUILD NEW YACHT FOR
AMERICA.

NEW YORK. Sept. IA third challenge
for the Americas Cup is expected in a
few DAYS from Sir Thomas Upton. A
member OF the New York Yacht club
makes the announcement. Mr.. Carmi-
chael. private secretary of Sir Thomas,
is also authority for the statement
Sir Thomas wishes 10 sail the race as
early in the season as possible so as to
avoid the fiuky weather of the fall 10
which he ascribes his defeat last year
Under the conditions governing the races
for the cup the challenger must give ten
months notice. so IL an early race is de-
sired the challenge may reach New York
at any moment.
In English yachting circles it is said
that at the request OF Sir Thomas, Mr..
George L. Watson has turned over to
Mr.. Fife all the data relating to the de-
sign Of Shamrock IL so that he may en-
body whatever elements he may choose
in the lines of Shamrock III. There is no
truth, IL Is said, In the report that the
new challenger is TO be the joint produc-
ton of the two famous Scotch naval arch
fleets.
The intentions OK the New York Yacht
club are also shrouded in a veil of mys-
terry. There Is talk Of a syndicate TO build
a new defender. but IL is certain that Au-
gustus Belmont and the yachtsmen asso-
ciated with him in the ownership of the
Constitution will take no part in a new
craft. They believe that the Constitution
with the aid Of Nat HerreshoT can be
improved so that she will be much faster
than she was last year. This. too. with
out a solitary alteration to her hull.
C. Oliver Iselin may be induced to take
charge of her. 1t is well known that his
opinion OF the boat is that she is superb
Nat Herreshoff has informed the New
York Yacht club that he can turn out
a boat faster than the Columbia or Con-
stitution. and he never yet has made a
vain or idle promise AS a matter Of fact.
he has all his plans for a new craft ready,
and If the order is given him he can turn
her out IN doube-quick time. so as to al
low her ample opportunity to get into
shane for the trial races.

NlNE-HoUR-DAY GRANT

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The report of
Carroll D. Wright. the commissioner Of
Labor, on the anthracite coal strike, was
made public today.
Commissioner Wright states there was
no confidence existing between the en-
ployes and their employers. This he be-
Heves, is one of the chief causes of the
differences between the oprators and mi
nerS.
Commissioner Wright suggests that 1t
would be reasonable and just for the OPP
orators to concede at once a nine-hour day
for a period of six months as an expert
ment.
He suggests that there should be organ
lied a joint committee on Cancellation,
composed of representatives of operators
and of a new union of anthracite employ
es, to which all grievances should be re-
ferred for investigation and that their
decision should be final and binding upon
all parties and that there should be no
interference with the union men.
