Boston, April 23.-In an address oil
welcome to the delegates to the annual
meeting of the New England Cotton
Manufacturers association. Lieutenant
Governor Curtis Guild. Jr.. reviewed
the general condition OF cotton manu-.
featuring in New England and made
comparisons between the industry il
that section and in the south. He de
clared that in spite of competition New
England held the sceptre OF cotton
manufacturers in this country, anO

rest in this particular industry. He
quoted figures showing the Increases
in the number of active cotton spindles
in the country from 1890 to 1900, anC
said it was idle to deny the fact tina
the rate of increase in the south was
much swifter than in New England. He
gave further figures showing that tn

Lexington, Ky. May T. Specials re-
eeived here from Jackson say TIA the
murderer Of James K. Marcum proba
bly, will never be known With the ex-
reption OF brief search made about
Eve minutes after the shooting there
has been no pronounced effort to dis
cover the assassin. The town is quiet.
and 1t is next to impossible to get any
one to talk The correspondent has
been advised by friend that it would
be more than well for him to leave on
the first train.
The only words uttered by Marcum
after be was shot were, MY God, they
have killed mei' The entire side of his
face was badly powder burned. The
assassin stood Immediately over him
In firing the last shot. The peculiar
feature about the murder Is that no
man has or viii advance theory
about the shooting or as to the proba-
bic identity Of the assassin.
Deputy Sheriff B. j. Even, who was
standing beside Mareum, said that he
ran at the sound Of the first shot and
did not see the person who fired the
shot. Another gentleman, who would
not permit the use of his name, says
that Even told him he saw the man,
knew who he was, but could not tell
because his life would pay the forfeit.
The funeral of Marcum has taken
place at the Presbyterian church, Rev.
Al. g. Doris officiating. A great many
women. but few men. were present.
The burial took place in Mr.. Mareum's
private burial ground.

WARNING
Lansdowne Says Persian Gulf Must
Be Neutral.
LIKE MONROE DOCTRINE.
London Newspapers Compare Fora
cign secretary's Policy 90 THAT
Enunciated BY American Presi-
dent-safety of Route TO India.

london, May Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne mas proclaimed 8rItlsn
Monroe doctrine in the Persian gull
and has practically notified the com
peting powers that any attempt on
their part to establish a naval base on
fortified post in those waters means
war with Great Britain.
Il say without hesitation said the
foreign secretary dealing with the sub
ject in the house Of lords, that we
should regard the establishment Of a
naval base or a fortified port in the
Persian gulf by any other power as a
very grave menace to British interests,
and we should certainly resist it with
all the means at our disposal"
Lord Lansdowne preceded this ex-
plicit enunclation Of British policy BY a
review Of the situation there, as It
affected British interests. eontending
that SO far ais the navigation Of the
Persian gulf was concerned Great
Britain held a position different to that
Of the other powers, both because it
was owing to British enterprise and
expenditure DC life ana money that
the gulf was now open to the com
merce of the world, and because the
protection Of the sea route to India
necessitated British performance IN
the gulf.
Lord Lansdowne's attitude in this
matter generally meets with approval,
although the answers thereto Of the
other powers interested in the gulf are
awaited with some anxiety
The newspapers here comment on the
analogy Of the present proceeding
which Captain Mahan so strongly rec
commended, to the United States policy
OF Monroeism The Westminster Ga
zette holds that the British motive
namely, the protection Of the sea route
to corresponds exactly with the
Americans motive in excluding Eu-
ropean powers from American waters
because their territory is thereby
threatened

Columbian Congress Not Likely to
Ratify 1t.
MAY NOT EVEN BE ASKED TO

Peculiar Constitutional PreroGa-
tive. May he Able 20 Give Us
Clear Title to Iathmus.

Washington. May THE latest ad.
vices received here indicate that Presi
dent AlarroQuin of Colombia has al
most decided not TO call a special ses-
sion of the Colombian congress to act
upon the Panama canal treaty. When
the call was issued for an election of
the members Of the Colombian con-
gress it was the intention TO call spe-
cial session about the 18th inst, the
call naming the Panama treaty as the
first subject to be considered, financial
measures to follow But the opposi-
ton developed to the treaty has been
more pronounced than the president
supposed. and he has thus far re-
Trained from naming the day Of meet
Ing. hoping that as the election pro-
crossed (for they are not simultane-
ous) the government would be reason
ably sure Of a majority to carry out its
programme.
Opposition Continues TO Gain.
But the opposition continues to gain
and the prospects for government
majority are so doubtful that President
Marroquin now seems indisposed to
act. In that event the Colombian con-
gress would, under the constitution,
assemble July 20 in regular session.
At that session It might take up the
canal treaty, but the congress would
not be under the same compulsion to
consider the treaty that it would be
at a special session, and much doubt is
felt here as to whether or not the
treaty would be taken up at all
This outlook, however, does not dis
courage the officials who had to do
with the making Of the treaty. The
United States government has gone 20
far in its negotiations with Colombia
that confidence is felt here that Presi-
dent Marroquin win feel himself bound
to carry out the engagements into
which he has entered.
sIarroauin May RRtify Treaty.
The Colombian constitution contains
some peculiar paragraphs charging the
powers Of the executive in case Of dis
turbed conditions beyond any degree
known in the United States. and If
there is the slightest sign of forcible
opposition to the government or Of rev
dictionary uprisings such as have been
hinted at in the stories from Kingston,
Jamaica, and from isthmian points, in
dicatiye OF a purpose to sever the 18TH
mus from Colombian sovereignty, the
president may arrogate to himself die
