Frankfort, Sept. 5.--Adjutaui
Gen. Murray today received mill
tary orders from Gen. Bates, com.
mander of the department of the
lakes, which will cause feminine
rebellion in kentucky and contigu
Gus territory. For weeks and weeks
the fair women of the state have
been planning for more than mill

blue at the encampment at West
Point. Hundreds of parties were
being made up and the little city at
the mouth of Salt river was the
Mecca towards which all eyes were
turned.
Gen. Bates order upsets all cal
culations Oh this score. 1t is in the
plainest and most positive terms,
and is to the effect that women are
not to be allowed in the camp at
any time for any purpose. The
camp includes the entire $4,000
acres and consequently the women
who had made up their mind to-
a grand time while watching their
heroes play the mimic game OF war

THE SILK INDUSTRY.
Aid and announcement BEING
Given by the Government.

BY r. NJ. Larner.
Washington, Sept. Silk growers in
this country and those who are inter
ested in promoting the silk growing
industry are receiving a great deal of
encourag cement and substantial assist
ance from the Department of Agri-
culture Every effort is being made
to stimulate the cultivation of the silk
producing cocoons. At present but
comparatively small amount of silk is
produced in this country but experts
in the Department of Agriculture are
confident that the conditions for silk
culture in various parts of the United
States are equal to those of China or
Japan.
The manufacture of the finer grades
of silk goods in this country is stead
lily increasing and the official reports
just compiled by the Department of
Commerce and Labor show that the
imports of raw silk in the fiscal year
just ended were the largest in the his
tory of the government. For the year
ending June 30, 1903, 15,271,34 pounds
of manufactured silk, valued at $50
011,S19, were imported, as compared
with 100000 pounds in 1902, and TO-
400, 900 in 1901. From this silk our man
ufacturers will make finished products
valued at over S125. 900, 000
OF the $50 000 600 worth of manufac-
tured silk imported practically one
half comes from Japan, the raw SILK
from that country the fiscal year just
ended being valued at S24600 90 Italy
furnished nearly $13, 600 900, the Chinese
Empire $S,900,000; France, S2,2OO,OOO
and all other countries only a little
over 100000 worth of raw silk. Be
sides this, there was a little over ST.
900 900 worth of silk waste imported,
which is used principally in making
spun silk and is cassed as unman-
ufactured silk in the statistics of i'm
ports.
Many attempts have been made to
produce raw silk in this country. AS
early as 1923 mulberry trees were re-
quired to be planted by all settlers in
Virginia, and some silk Nas grown in
the early days of the colony. In the
second quarter of the last century the
cultivation of silk seemed to give prom
Use of success, but the enterprise degen-
Grated into a speculation in Chinese
mulberry trees, and ended in utter fall
ure. The recent experiments of the De-
partment of Agriculture are again di-
reCting attention to the practcabllity
of raising on our own farms a share
at least of this material, which forms
so considerable a part of our imports,
during recent years the Importation
of raw silk has increased almost con-
tinuously, until in the fiscal year just
closed it amounted to over $780, 00, 600.
The nearest approach to this value was
in 1900. when $45, 100000 worth was
imported.
Notwithstanding the increase in the
quantity of manufactured silk which
is brought here to be made into fab
RIGS by our own manufacturers, the
inportatjOn of manufactured silks does
not fall off. For 1903 it is not 100000
less than the previous high mark, made
in 1898 This would indicate that
there is still room for growth in our
domestic manufacture before the de-
mand will be supplied.
