prevalence and increasing violence Of the
mob spirit, its tendency to leap the color
line and to lynch for minor offenses than
rape and murder.
He dwelt upon the psychology Of the
mob and gave the Wilmington lynching of

This Course.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service
Washin gton, Aug. 12.-Secretary Root has
practically decided to recommend the re-
establishment of the army canteen. This
will be gratifying news to soldiers and their
friends. There has been considerable dissat-
isfaction in the ranks because of the abolition
of the canteen. -s-N
Practically every officer in the army and
all the officials of the war department have
concluded after a practical test that a mis-
take was made in abolshng it as the army
has been injured by so doing. AS result OF
that action large number of vile saloons
have sprung into existence in the vicinity OF
army posts and Drunkenness has increased
in the army. The number of assertions also
have increased.
There are on file in the war department con
fdential reports from officers of the army
which show the bad results of closing thu
canteen.
General Miles is the most noted officer VIII,
Is against the establishment, but the fact
presented by officers in the field have out
weighed his recommend ations.

FEAR A MASSACRE
Mussulmans Are Gathering at Uskub-

> Christians Terrorzed.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Aug. 1.-THE Bulgar-
ian foreign office has received disquiet-
ing news from it's agent at Uskub. The
Mussulmans forces were gathering in the
mosques and it is feared that a massacre
of the Christians is impending. Officials
here express the belief that the interven-
ton of the powers alone can prevent q
disaster. s--..
The most astonishing feature Of the
situation here is the remarkable quiet
with which the people have received the
news of the fresh rising in Macedonia.
The whole outbreak came as a great sur
prise even to the local revolutionary COM
mittees which were not prepared for SO
early rising. In spite Of the stirring
appeals of the committees, little or no
popular enthusiasm is apparent, even
among the 10000 Macedonian residents Of
Sofia. How long this condition will last
depends largely on the developments in
Macedonia. At present the center Of the
disturbance is Monastir. a long way off.
Should the irving spread to the valleyet Of
Uskub and come near the Bulgarian from
tier it is probable that the population of
Bulgarian will become aroused.

BONES OF A MAST0D0N
They Are Unearthed in St. Louis
Further and Important Finds
Are Expected.
New York Sun Special Service.

ST. Louis, Aug. 12.-Bones which scientists
agree are undoubtedly parts of the skeletons
of mastodons were unearthed yesterday in the
heart of St. Louis. Workmen digging for a
great overflow sewer to be forty feet below
the surface found the bones.
Large pieces of trees almost changed into
bituminous coal by the slow process Of nature
had been unearthed and then the picks Of
the laborers struck some hard substance
which puzzled them. Foreman TAFT ordered
the workers to stop while he descended into
the ditch to investigate. By carefully dis
lodging the dirt on the other side of the hole
he found several large bones Embedded in
the clay. These bones composed the petri-
fed jaw Of some enormous prehistoric ami
NAL
Further digging resulted In fresh rewards.
1t Is believed the place Is rich in fossils and
a careful search will be made in the hope that
an entire skeleton will be found. The spot
where the bones were exposed Is 100 yards
south of the Tower Grove station.

COTTON IN AFRICA.
A Britisher Who Thinks that England
VIII Supply Cotton.

Sir Alfred Jones, president of the
Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool,
has been devoting much attention
and effort to the question of increas-
ing the cotton supply from other
sources than the United States, and
he is taking avery confident view of
the results. He was lately quoted
as saying that about ten years ago
America produced 100000 bales of
cotton and Great Britain took half
of it, and that now 100000 bales
are produced, while the amount taken
in England is no larger than before.
This has startled" him, and shows
him that it is absolutely necessary
we should stir ourselves and make
some effort to provide a supply from
other sources" for he is convinced
that "America will soon need all the
cotton she grows"
He has taken an active part in
promoting the movement for produc-
ing the staple not only in the British
West Indies, but in Africa, and the
returns already obtained are such as
to assure him of success. "The posi-
bilities of Africa, as a cotton-produc-
ing country" he says, Cannot well
be overestimated.n There are vast
tracts of land suitable for the pur-
pose and millions of people idle who
could be employed in cotton-growing,
and he believes "the scheme to be
n of the greatest movements ever
started" Finally" he declares,
"America may yet have to look to
West Africa for her cotton supply,
because I believe cotton will be pro-
duced more cheaply in West Africa
than in the United States."-New
York Journal of Commerce.

Post Check Currency is Needed.

Henry A. Castle, auditor for the
P~ostofice Department, shows an an
nual shortage of a half million of
dollars or more in the money order
system. The opposition to the Post
Check Currency plan comes largely
from this bureau because the new
currency would practically abolish
the money order system.
This opposition should not be, per
mitted to block the establishing of a
urrenc that combines a safe and
convenient draft for remittance, with
a reliable circulating medium. The
Post Check Currency seeks to bene-
fit the masses. It is a government
issue of the same relative value as
the greenback and is so controlled
that it can be used safely in the mails
for the payment of small accounts.
Tt has a host of friends and no enc
mics, outside of a limited class who
oppose it because of self-interest.
The bill should become a law at
the present session of Congress and
it will, if public sentiment becomes
sufficiently aroused to express to
Congressman it's views on the subject.
Letters to Congressman from their
constituents will aid the cause.
