THE COTTON CORNER.

Speculation is bad enough when 1t ruins
only the spectators and those dependent
upon them, but when II reaches out and
takes the bread out of the mouths of thou
sands Of people. victims of circumstances
over which they have possible control.
our civilization should find some reasonable
way to put a stop to it. Where the specu-
lation is in stocks, bonds All other evil
dences of debt. paper fortunes are made
and swept away, and only the spectators
and those Immediately or remotely depend
ent on their prosperity are affected, but
when the speculation is in staple products
1t is almost sure to disturb the natural or
der Of things, and somebody-usually a
great many people-must suffer for it.
A striking case in point is furnished just
now by the wild speculation in cotton.
First one clique and then another has taken
its turn at booming cotton until they have
it up to prohibitive price. Already numer-
Gus mills throughout the New England and
South Atlantic States and in England have
closed because the prices for cotton fabrics
cannot be forced up in the same proportion
and they cannot manufacture without loss
with the present ruling price for their raw
material. This means that many thousands
of operative are thrown out of employment
and must suffer severely for lack of the
bare necessities of life
OF course there must be crash that will
hurt the very people that are now forcing
the high prices. A New Orleans firm start
ed this corner and took profits. Then one
Sully took it up and carried it along and
took profits. Then the Brown clique at
present in control, having come into the
market at artificialy high prices, saw no
way Of getting their money back except by
forcing the thing higher. The rapid closing
of the mills will. of course. shut off the de-
mand, and pretty soon banks will get tired
of carrying the SPECTATORS. and the next
thing will be a smash. Then cotton will
rule at normal prices and the textile indus
try can resume operations

FICTION IN LIBRARIES.

At the convention of librarians held at
Niagara Falls last week the question of the
circulation of fiction in public libraries came
up for discussion. as usual at these gath
erings. One librarian, John Cotton Dana,
of Newark, N. j., had made a systematic
study Of the matter. and his report throws
an interesting light on the taste of the pub
lie in fiction. From thirty-four libraries Mr.
Dana secured the names of all the writer's
of novels whose books had been loaned by
each library on three days, with the total
number of books by each writer The result
ant showing differs widely from the monthly
lists of best sellers found in the pub
fishers magazines. The ten most read nov
elists in this country. as indicated by the
thirty-four replies are in order of their pop
ularity. F. Marion Crawford. Rosa Nouch-
cite Carey. Alexander Dumas, Amanda
Douglas. Amelia Barr. Clara Louise Burn

includes Frank Stockton. E. p. Roe Mary

ton on the charge OF having murdered his
friend and benefactor, James II. Mccain,
continues to declare his innocence.
"Jim Mccain will show up" harrington

that he knows McCann is alive, but that
for certain reasons Mccain is remaining
in hiding, and, even though he sees the
newspaper accounts of his probable MUIR

dispel the murder theory.

CLOUDS IN THE EAST.

Whether it is merely summer madness or
whether there is really something in the sit
uation. the fact remains that the warlike
rumors at two very dangerous points are
growing uncomfortably persistent. We are
told that Turkey has 10000 troops massed
on the Bulgarian frontier and that armed
bands of both Turks and Bulgarians are
making raids across the frontier. An out
break in the Balkans is the bette noir of
every statesman and diplomat in Europe.
through their well-grounded fear that it
may mean a general breakup Of the armed
peace and disastrous period of war, in
volving nearly every one of the great pow
ers on the continent.
In another quarter Of the world there
seems likelihood of trouble. Yesterdays
dispatches from the Orient contained two
kilograms that look significant. The first is
the statement that conference of high
Russian officials. including the minister of
war, the admiral of the Russian Pacific
fleet and the minister to China is to be held
at Port Arthur early in July. presumably
to formulate final announcement of Rus
sia's Manchurian policy. A rather more sig
nificant one to the American reader is the
demand Of Admiral Evans for an additional
five hundred marines to be held as reserves
at Olongapo, in the Philippines. where we al
ready have one thousand. The admiral gave
as reason the signs of internal unrest in
China, but one cannot help remembering
at the same time that there is at present
in the neighborhood of Port Arthur and
Tien-Tsin the greatest gathering of war
ships of Russia. England, Japan and Ameri-
ca ever known at any point along the China
coast.
To go back a little there is in existence a
treaty between Great Britain and japan,
forming an offensive and defensive alliance
to maintain the status quo in Manchuria
and Korea, treaty to which the United
States is not signatory, but with the pur-
poses Of which our government and our
people are in full sympathy. But a few
weeks ago 1t was reported that Russia had
forced upon China treaty by which she
was to have practical control Of Manchuria
1t was denied, then partly admitted, and
until nobody seems to really know just what
has happened In Picking or just what is going
to happen in Manchuria. But it looks at this
distance very much as If the British, JAP
anese and United States governments pro-
posed to find out through their own repre-
sentatives on the ground just what is going
on and to be ready to fight on short notice

ROME, June 30.-The Pope descended to
the Vatican gardens this morning for the
first time this year and was driven about
for an hour and half. He seemed to en-
Joy the air immensely and noticed the
changes made in the gardens since last
year. He was especially interested in the
growth of the vines planted by himself and
made inquiries regarding the prospects of
the vintage. When the Pope returned to
his apartments he seemed not in the least
fatigued and received several bishops.
Monsignors Mourey and D'Haltpoul,
French prelates attached to the Papal
court, left for Paris to-day on a vacation
which will last until October They pre-
viously asked DR.. Lapponi. the Pope's ply

be interrupted and his reply was: do not
be anxious. You may stop away for sew

wonderfully we'll. People who have seen
him recently declare that all traces of the

the Mad Mullah's forces near Jeyd, sur
prising them at dawn and killing 10000
spearmen and capturing almost all their
cattle and sheep and 1000 camels.
Colonel Rochefort announces that the
Abyssinians have effectually closed to the
Mullah all the watering places south Of
the Gerlogubi-Galad line and he hopes they
will soon be in contact with the British
forces and thus be able to cooperate in

he is crossing a waterless part OF the
country. The colonel's dispatch was dated

that several British officers are prisoners

In point of interest to the members of

session of the annual convention. While
the attendance was restricted absolutely to
members of the church, who were admitted
by card, from 5000 to 5000 people were
present. The exercises consisted Of an

its history from the time Of its formation
in 1859. and much other business of peculiar
interest to the members of the cult
Not a few of the scientists have returned
home and yet no very appreciable reduc-
ton in the numbers is observed Many
living in nearby towns are expected to
return for the Wednesday night testimonial
meeting. Contrary to the usual custom
with conventions. the interest grows rather
than slackens as this one proceeds, and the
people seem eager to remain for the con-
Guiding session, disproving the popular no.
ton that their interest conferred in seeing
Mrs. Eddy.
As shown by the clerks report the men,
bership of the church increased 1886 dur

bership H,796, the admission of this June
being the largest in the history of the
church. The report gave 566 regularly or

Another denomination report was to the
effect that the death rate this year is 224
per 1000, against that of 1878 per 1000 in
the city of Boston for the year 1902: the
mortality in the membership of the mother

for nearly two months, and people without

there has been no uniformity In the events

have been misled by the biographies. many
of which, following the old-style calendar in

however, that nothing too much has been
