 The chief gain was in China, our leading and very desirable customer, but there were also gains in the sales to Africa, Central America, West In- dies, Brazil, East Indies, Australia, Philippines and British North Amer ica Some small losses occurred in Mexico, Cuba and Venezuela, but these losses can be readily accounted for.
 The gains in cotton exports are especially gratifying to the south, where the coarser grades of cotton are largely manufactured. The looms of this country are turning out goods far in excess of the demands of the country, and the maintenance of ex- ports is therefore the life of the in dustry. Whatever of Dingleyism linn it's our exports of cotton goods strikes at the great textile industry, espe- cially as it exists in the south. Our exports will never reach full propor- tions until the Dingley tariff is re- duced to a revenue basis, when this country can trade freely with the rest of the world. Where we sell we must buy, is a well-known maxim in the commercial world. We cannot sell cottons and expect cash in return, for no nation can stand such drain.
 A revision of the tariff is very needful in order to promote the ex- ports of cotton goods. More and more outlets for such goods will be needed, and these cannot be had when our ports are closed to goods from the countries to which we desire to send cottons. The prosperity of cotton spinning and weaving are tied up in the proposition of fair trade, or at least in a tariff planned for revenue purposes only, instead of the enrich ment of small classes or knots of manufacturers.

UNIVERSITY GRADUATES.

From the Tuscaloosa mes
 Some of the state papers are crying out against the university because It's graduates feel a bond between them on account of their common Alma Mater. Such a bond Is credtable both to the university and it's scholars. Its gradu- ates rank high in the roll of distinguished men of the state, and any young man may feel a pardonable pr-Ie in being a graduate of this great institution.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. August 14.-So far
Tom L. Johnson has kept 1t a secret as to
whom he intends to have nominated for the

candidate for governor. The anti-Johnson
democrats have been equally secretive until
today, when ]. Edwin Hurst of New Phila-

lieutenant governor on the ticket with John

forty-two in Hamilton county. which will, of
course be contested in the convention. That

1t should be stated, however. that John

since he announced himself has uniformly
been getting the best of it. The anti-John-

their antagonism to the Cleveland mayor

OHIO DEMOCRATS WILL SPLIT.
Opinion of Ex-Solicitor Caren Regard.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio. August 14.-"I predict
that there will be split IN the democratic
state convention said Caren, exsolic-
itor of Columbus, and an ardent anti-John-
son democrat today.
Il believe that Zimmerman is in the
lead now and will control the convention,
but Mayor Johnson will not submit. He
will start a row and pull out with his del
egates and hold a convention of his own.
1T is noticed that In all the strong anti
Johnson counties where he has no possible
chance to secure the delegation, he is lay
ing grounds for contest. This will shut
the counties out of the organization of the
convention and help Johnson in his ef-
forts to control 1t. w. P. Huntington, the
manager of the Zimmerman boom, tacitly
admitted the strength of the Johnson fac
ton by formal statement that Mr. Zim-
norman did not desire to name all the
candidates of the ticket and would well
come a conference with the Johnson lead
ers with a view to making a fair division

ERS TODAY.
Opposition to Early Extra Session, as
It Will Interfere With State
Campaigns.

OYSTER BAY, L. l., August 14.-Finan-
cfal legislation and other work of the pro-

were discussed today by the President with
several of his callers. The first arrivals
were Secretaries Shaw and Hitchcock, re-
spectfvely. of the Treasury and Interior

tee on finance at their conference with
the President on Wednesday night. par
ticularly with RECORD to extraordinary
session of Congress at dat eearlier than
November 8.
Considerable opposition has developed to
the idea of calling the extra session in
October. The point is made that many
senators and representatives will be en-
gagged during October in their state cam
paigns and that 1t would be politically un-
wise for them to leave their states at such
time.

conclusion regarding the date of the ex-
traordinary session has yet been reached
and that no decision would be announced
until the President shall have consulted
members of both branches of Congress and
others.
At luncheon today the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt entertained a party in

lom Of Illinois, Controller of the Currency
