Tho Problem Of Cotton.

From the Boston Globe.
The enforced shutdown Of the New
England COTTON mills. In the midst of
what should be a busy manufacturing
season, is a deplorable thing from every
point Of view.
The stopping Of the splndles throws
temporarily out Of employment thousands
Of operatives and this in turn gives a
distinct check to local business, Affecting
tradesmen and professional people alike.
The cotton manufacturing industry, like
the timing industry, appears TO be sur
fering from a lack Of raw material, al
though from "a different cause, the scare
ity Of cotton being natural and that Of tin
largely artificial.
IL raises a very serious question as t'
the future supply Of cotton for the fac
tories not only OF the United States bu
OF the world In our own case we seen
to require an annual crop Of l2,VW,w
bales. whereas the recent production ha
not been an excess Of 1O.0O0,O0O TO 100000
bales. Indeed some authorities hold tina
we need production OF lAOoONO bales
year in order to be on the safe side.
This Is "A matter that experts viii haN
. 20 reckon with. and while they are doin
r so the sympathy Of the rest OF the con
I munity will go out freely to the gre'
army Of mill workers who are taking
compulsory vacation, for which, unlil
e some more fortunate classes, they do NJ

The new armored crui ser Pennsy.-
vania, under the most auspicious sur-
roundinlgs. on Saturday plunged into
the Delaware. She will doubtless add
greatly 10 the efficiency OF our new
navy. Had Senator Quay been absent
or had tho boat not been christened by
member OF his family. the ceremony
would not have been complete SO
that statesman graced the occasion,
and Miss Coral Quay, his daughter,
broke the bottle over her prov as she
slipped into the embrace OF the waters
OF the Delaware. There We're fifteen
Quays in all present. and this ac-
counts in part for the general report
that the occasion was auspicious.
The Pennsylvania is sister ship to
the Colorado, and costs for hull and
machinery alone. s5.7SO,OOO. Her con-
strueton was authorized by act OF
Congress IN 1S99 and Cramps secured
the contract She is required to de-
velop a speed Of twenty three knots
an hour, and It Is thought that she
will do even better. The new cruiser
is thought to represent the highest
skin IN naval engineering at the pres
ent time. Her armor Is the best, in
surlng defense. and her speed cannot
be surpassed by any ship OF her class.

MADE PRIME MINISTER THRICE

London. Aug. "a. - Lord Salisbury
died peacefully late Saturday nig.i..
For several days past the end was
seen to be inevitable, and even tb
administration of oxygen failed of e.
feet as the evening advanced, and the
distinguished statesman, making the
last effort of his life. turned slightly
towards his favorite daughter, Lady
Gwendoline Cecil. who was kneeling
beside him. and then quietly breathed
his last. Ills death was due to Brights
disease.
Lord Edward Cecil had been warned
by telegraph that the end was near.
All the other members of his lordships
family had gathered at the bedside.
Viscount Cranborne, who now as
sumes the title Of Marquis of Salisbury
Immediately notified King Edward anu
Queen Alexandra, the Prince and Prin-
cess Of Wales and others, including
Lord Edward Cecil, the soldier son Of
Lord Salisbury. who is now in Egypt
and who was the only child of the mar
quis absent from the deathbed.
The death of Lord Salisbury occurred
on the 5Oth anniversary of his entrance
into public life as a member of the
house of commons for Stamford.
The elevation of Lord Cranborne to
the house of lords creates a vacancy
in the Rochester district, and probably
will entail the selection Of a new under
secretary of foreign affairs.
In accordance with his recently ex'
pressed wish, Lord Salisbury's body
