NOT TO NEW ORLEANS.
Lowell Cotton Mills shipped no Cot
ton There.

ton There.
Lowell, Mass, June 10.-The asser-
ton made in the New York cotton
market that mills in this city would
ship 5000 to 10000 bales of cotton to
New Orleans for July delivery could
not be verified in this city tonight,
the mill agents who could be found
stating that so far as they knew there
were no new sales of cotton.
One of the agents said that owing
to the strike and to the fact that the
mills are not now running more than
70 per cent. of their full force of oper-
atives, the mills, if they sold no
cotton, could run to the full
capacity until the new cotton
crop comes in October, and still have
a large quantity on hand. The present
high price of cotton, however, would
naturally tempt the min arrangements
to sell all the cotton not actually needed
in manufacture.
The agent above referred to said that
the mills could spare about rs per cent.
of their present or recent supply of
cotton. After deducting what has al
ready been sold in the market, this
would mean the disposal of possibly
$4,000 bales from the several mills.

age of spring wheat sown indicate an
area of about 1857 900 acres. a de-
crease of $4,000 acres, or 81 per cent.
from the revised estimate of the acre
age sown last year.
The average condition of spring
wheat on June 1 was S2.2, as COM
pared with 1926 on May 1, 1903, 76.1 on
June l, 1902; sIS at the corresponding
date in 1901 and a ten-year average of

$4,000 acres, or 32 per cent, from the
area sown last year
The average condition of oats on
June was S5.5. against 90.6 on June 1,
1902; 1858 at the corresponding date in
1901, and a ten-year average of 90.2.
The acreage reported as under barley
exceeds that harvested last year by
about 100000 acres, or IL per cent. The
average condition of barley is 91.5,

Fire at Oxford.

Oxford, Ga, June 10.-This morning
at 1870 o'clock the two two-story frame
stores occupied and owned by ]. w.
Branham. were destroyed by fire. Sew
eral students roomed in the second
story of one of the buildings, and 1t
was with difficulty that they escaped
with their lives. There was 81, 900 in
surance on the buildings, but the stock
of goods amounting to $4,000 was not
covered by insurance, and therefore a
total loss. 1t is a mystery as to the
origin of the con1agration. 1t sudden
ly burst out, and instantly enveloped
the entire building, as if 1t was SAT-
urated with kerosene.

Artistic Element Considered in
Municipal LOng-Span Structures.

Artistic Element Considered in
Municipal LOng-span Structures.
From the Scientific American.
At time like the present, when we
are constructing in this country, and
notably at New York, so many impor-
tant municipal long-span bridges, it
is of interest to turn to similar work
which is being designed and executed
by foreign engineers and contractors.
Thanks to the municipal art commits
sion, in the city of New York strict
attention is being paid, and we hope
will continue to be paid, to the artistic
side of all bridges, great and small
that are erected in the metropolis. OF
course, the architectural embellish-
ments of an engineering structure is
something that requires to be under
taken by the architect or artist in d.
rect collaboration with the engineer
who designs the structure. This col
liberation is now being carried out;
but 1t is quite a question whether the
bridge engineer. particularly If he in
tends to devote himself to city or coun-
try work, would not do well to round
out his professional course by includ-
ing instruction in at least the elements
of architectural design, or some kim
bred study.
Hitherto, American bridge engineers
have been governed in their work too
much by the strictest considerations Of
utility; and in the endeavor to design
bridges that can be built with the least
expenditure of time and material for
the maximum amount of strength, they
have produced structures that are
literal translation into steel of the
straight lines and angles of the strain
sheet diagram. For economy of ma
terial and speed of erection. these
bridges stand unsurpassed in the
world; but IL must be confessed that,
with few notable and praiseworthy
exceptions. our bridges do not COM
pare In beauty and harmony with their
surroundings with the work Of the con-
tinental engineers. Among the excep-
lions may be mentioned the noble
Washington arch bridge. over the Har-
lem river, and the design by the pres

WATSON GOES TO JAIL.
DefauIter Could Not Make $4,000
Bond.

Washington, June johannes M. A.
Watson, the clerk in the auditors of
fee of the district government, who
was arrested yesterday for embezzle-
ment of large funds, appeared in the
Police Court to-day, pleaded not gull
ty and waived a preliminary hearing.
Bail was fixed at $4,000.
Treasury accountants are to-day
making a thorough investigation of the
accounts of the auditor for the dis
trict. and Auditor Petty was closeted
with the commissioners explaining the
methods Of his Office.
Gen. Bryant, the father-in-law of
Watson, has expressed to the district
officials confidence that he will be able
to make restitution of the amount of
his son-inlaw's alleged defalcation.
Watson was unable to secure the
bond fixed by the Police Court for his
appearance before the grand jury, and
was taken to Jail.
According to the authorities most of
the money Watson is alleged to have
embezzled was spent in stock specula-
ton. His books are in a deplorabIe
condition.
Auditor Petty said to-day that If
Watsons family does not make resti-
tuition he will appeal to Congress for
the relief of himself and his bondsmen.
Mr.. Petty's bond is for $40, 900.
The authorities to-day found among
Watson's papers an envelope marked
-. M. A. Watson, Personal" 1t con-
tained checks signed by Auditor Petty,
aggregating nearly $4,000. Some were
cancelled checks and others had not
beep cashed. One of the latter was
drawn by the auditor in August, 1901,
and made payable in the Endorsement
TO the collector of taxes.
The exact extent of Watson's defal-
cations will not be known for some
time, but the best estimates now is
$780, Auditor Petty to-day admitted
that he had not required a bank re-
turn from Watson when the latter had
taken funds to deposit.

THE DAY WAS SAVED
BY PREMIER BALFOUR
Strong Speech in the House Keeps Chamberlain
in the British Cabinet-Premier on the Tariff

London, June 10.-By a dextrous and
tonight temporarily smoothed over the
differences in the cabinet, relieved CO.
lonial Secretary Chamberlain of any
necessity of resigning, and for the mo-
ment averted a crisis which threatened
the Unionist party.
This Mr.. Balfour accomplished with
out committing the government either
to protection or free trade, though the
effect of his speech will generally be
taken to mean that the tariff issue is
to be shelved for the present.
Henry Chaplin'S amendment, which
gave rise to the most interesting de-
bate of the present Parliament, was de-
feated by the overwhelming majority of
1896 votes, composed of Unionists, Lib
erals and Irish members. The minor
ity, who supported Mr.. Chaplin
amendment, were almost all followers
of the government, while many others
of the Conservative party abstained
from voting.
1t was 1920 o'clock tonight when
Premier Balfour sprang to his feet to
reply to the taunts of the opposition
and appeals from his own party.
For two days the House of Com
mons has rung with echoes of dis
cussions within the cabinet and dis
satisfaction without. The premier was
loudly chesred. He had scarcely COM
menced to deal with Mr. Chaplin s
amendment before he was Interrupted
by hurricane of applause and lroni-
cal cheers at the entry of Mr.. Cham
berlain, who had been absent hitherto
throughout the evening. The colonial
secretary dropped into his accustomed
place. The house was now packed
with peers, members of the house and
spectators as it has not been since the
days Of home rule, and they waited
and listened in intense expectation.
In whimsical vein Mr.. Balfour ex-
planned that the only reason that the
corn tax was put on was because the
government wanted money, and the
only reason it was taken off was be-
cause the government wanted money
no longer
Reverting to the charges of vacilla-
ton made against him, the premier
took on a tone of unusual vehemence.
He declared that he himself though a
believer in free trade, (Which state
ment met with loud applause) did not
regard it as fetish, and he had alb
solutely an open mind regarding the
necessity for any alterations in sys-
tenn which was founded to suit condi-
tions of fifty years ago. He refused
not only to make a statement of any
fnality upon such an important ques-
ton, but he also refused to compel
his colleagues to conform to a stand
ard of opinion upon which he him
self had an open mind.
He admitted that differences Of opin-
ion existed within the cabinet, but
these were not serious enough to cause
the resignation of any member.
Mr.. Balfour made an impassioned
plea, enforced by the presidents OF
friction in Mr.. Gladstone ministries,
for allowing the premier to retain an
open mind upon a question so diff
cult and SO superior to all party is
sues.
The speaker did not believe that the
country would ever return to the old
protective system, and no tax on food
was ever imposed without the full as

Congressman Rodenburg estimated
that thirty lives were lost in the flood
ing of the lower portion of East St.
Louis early this morning. While gen
eral alarms were given by the police,
and retreating levee workers with
shouts and pistols, there was not time
to call at every house in the thickly
settled district, and it is believed that
many families in one-story cottages
awoke only when it was too late to es-

1t is estimated that 10000 inhabitants
are affected by the district already
flooded, and that 500 to 600 are imme-
diately in danger from rising flood.

these men were set to work building
fiat boats and RATS, and assisting in
handling the skiffs already in service.

A Large Excursion to dublin.

Dublin, Ca, June 10.-One of the
largest excursions ever run to
Dublin came In this morning over
the Central Railroad from Statesboro
and intermediate points. The excur-
sionists came i'm a special train, which
arrived at Dublin at 1920. On the
train were 912 people, more than 400 of
whom were from Statesboro.
The special was run to Dublin on ac-
count of the ball game between Dub
lin and Statesboro. During the day
those who came or the special took in
the city on foot and In carriages. All
of them seemed 10 have a good time.
II Is probable that a more orderly
crowd never before visited this city.
and the stay Of the excursionlsts here
was much enjoyed by the people OF this
city.
