The cruiser Olympia, flying the pen

at the Norfolk navy yard Friday. Her
bottom was inspected and she will
be docked at once for repairing the in

While on her way down the coast
the Olympia ran into a heavy gale on
Tomaston harbor, and for while fears
we're entertained that she might not
be able to weather 1t in safety. Hcr

safely through the blow, however, but
the cruiser was compelled ito seek
shelter in Tomaston harbor until the
gale subsided. At one time during
the blow some Of the officers and
men feared the ship was really sink

When the Olympia reached the Nor

RIVAL OF THE SOUTH.
development Of Cotton Growing IN
West Africa is Now Attracting
Considerable Attention.

The news received in Liverpool,
England, from Lagos, British West
Africa, September 2, that the develop
ment of the cotton trade in the ln:e-
rior of that part of Africa was so
great that the local railroad officials
had been obliged TO run extra trains In
order to bring down the large supplies
to the coast, somewhat surprised the
cotton interests of the British cotton
center, growing of the staple in West
Africa being still regarded as In a
largely experimental stage. Thirty
tons of cotton from Lagos arrived IN
the Mersey the past week and Was
pronounced to be of excellent quality.
The seed sent out from Liverpool
and sown in June Is expected to yield
1000 bales. The first delivery OF this
crop is expected at Christmas. If tho
cotton growing experiment is success
full, the cultivated area will be Gu
larged.

Attack on Embassies is Fear
ed in Constantinople.
SULTAN GIVES WARNING
United States May Take Similar Ae'
tion-AIarming Reports from
Leischman-AdmiraI Cotton's
Squadron at Beirut.
The United States cruisers Brook
lyn and San Francisco arrived at Bel
rut, Syria, Friday.

Minister Leischman has cabled the
state department that owing to the dis
turbed conditions in Constantinople an
additional kavass or detective force
had been stationed at the American
legation. This action was taken on
the suggestion of the Turkish govern
ment, which has assured the Amerl'
can minister that it will use every pre-
caution to protect all foreigners, out
has warned the different embassies
and legations to strengthen the force
inside the buildings.
In case a necessity develops 1t IS
probable that the Turkish government
will be reqr.sted to allow the United
States to send a detachment OF ma
rines from the squadron which ar
rived at Beirut. Minister Lelsch'
man has not yet made sucA a request
of this government. The United States
has no authority to send a warship
through the Dardanelles and would
have to get the consent OF Turkey
and also that of other European pow
ers to do so. So
Minister Leischman in his cablegram
informed the department that a mum
her of governments have landed ma
rines in Constantinople for the protec'
ton OF the embassies.
Conditions Not Satisfactory.
While the conditions existing IN
Coastantinople, as well as in other
portions of Turkey, are extremely un'
satisfactory, the washington govern
ment does not believe that there Is
any serious danger ahead, noWlth'
standing that the tone OF the dis
patches from Minister Leischman
shows uneasiness. At the same time
the United States will approve every
precaution taken by the diplomatic
corps and our minister for tho SAFETY
of the foreign representatives.
The porte, in advising the foreign
embassies and legations of the meas
ures taken to protect them, added
warning against Bulgarian bandits
who might attempt to elude the Turk
ish guards and attack the foreigners
from within.

Chekib Bey, Turkish minister, called

effect that the American consul at
Beirut was entirely satisfied with the
measures, Turkey had taken to prote Il
life and property there and to inVestl-
gate and act with respect to the as
sault on Vice Consul Magelssen.
It is a matter Of some comment
that there are about only 200 marines
with the European squadron but these
with the kavasses already in the ser
vice of the legation and with the
Turkish guards assigned to Minister
Leischman. will, it is believed, prove
sufficient for any emergency likely
to arise. Officials of the state depart
ment, commenting upon the item from
Paris saying that ships of foreign pow
ers would be sent to Turkish waters,
stated that the United States was now
sending ships to Turkish waters.

mean Constantinople, they say, and
while the whole eastern portion OF

none of them would force the Darda'
nelles.

made which has been followed up by
subsequent treaties which prohlblts

elles, without the consent OF Turkey
and Turkey must have the assent of

GOMPERS SCORES PARRY.
Labor Leader Pays His Compliments
to Head of Manufacturers Asso.
ciation in Scathing Terms.

President GOmperS, Ol Tue Aueii-
can Federation of Labor, in his laoor
day address to $4,000 persons Monday
afternoon at the fair grounds in In
dianapolis, spoke in part:
81 ask every thoughtful man and Wo-
man wi; hin the sound of my voice, l
ask any one who may perhaps have
the opportunity of reading what | may
say this afternoon, how can a work
man. an individual workman, act upon
his own initiative, and from his own
yolition? Where can he act as an in
dividual to try and secure improve
ment in his condition, much less pro-
lection against a great corporation?
Some say the workingmen lose
their individuality when they join
union of labor In truth, the working
man has lost his individuality just as
soon as he enters one of our great
modern industrial plants.
''The old idea, even among the busi-
ness men. that competition is the life
of industry is no longer held as an
economical tenet: it is no longer be-
lieved and declared by men who know
the trend of events in the develop
ment of industry. They realize that
ompetition is today the death Of the
trader.
"a strike is nothing more Eor less
than a disagreement between the EN-
ployer and his workmen about contla-
uing industry upon an old agreement.
And strikes are diminishing in mum
bers in spite of what our opponents
say. We stand for arbitration and We
pin our faith to IT,"
President Gompers then turned his
attention to D. NJ. Parry, president OF
THE National Manufacturers Associa-
ton, and devoted the remainder of his
address to Mr.. Parry's opposition. He
said Mr.. Parry had constituted himself
the savior of society and civilization.
His references to Mr.. Parry were from
the standpoint of ridicude. Said he
in closing:
"A strike may bring about strife and
discord, but as soon as it is done,
better feelings are engendered and NIL
| tual respect is brought about. don't
think I would care to have strike
in DR.. Parry's factory, but don't be-
lieve it would be an unmixed evil, for
he might learn the lesson that Mr..
Baer has learned-that there is some
thing to arbitrate, to discuss, to con-
cede. From what can learn the
wages paid by Mr.. Parry are less than
any fair establishment in the same
line of business in the whole country.
"Organized labor has feeling against
| Mr.. Parry It has no designs against
! his life, his children or the safety OF
his property. He is as safe from ia
Dor as is. President Roosevelt.
81 have never, yet challenged
Mr.. Parry to joint debate, but I say |
will challenge him to debate On the
labor question and the labor move
ment. 1 challenge him to submit the
report that he prepared for the last
convention at New Orleans to the next
/ convention of the Manufacturers AS
sociation and ask the convention to in
dorse all he said in that report. He
/ knows that the National Manufacture
ers' Association will not be committed
! to such unjustiiable and unreasonable
attack on organized labor"
