The action of the senate yesterday

what was expected by all who were at

until such matters are finally disposed

TWO MILLION A DAY FOX COTTON

The premier position of cotton
among our exports is again affirmed
by the statistics of export for the
month of October. Cotton is still the
king OF all agricultural exports, the
value of its sales in foreign lands dur
ing the month just closed averaging
two millien collars day.
The preliminary statement OF the
bureau of statistics of the department
of commerce and labor for October
shows the value of the cotton export
ell during the month TO be S6O O,2S3,4l2
against si2 100000 in October, 1902
$4,000 600 in October, 1901, and 500.
474,I37 in October, 1900. The tota
quantity exported in October. 1903
was 594. 4.540.S72 pounds, which shows
and average of 10,1 cents pound
With the single exception of the eX
ports for October, 1900, when they
reached the value of S60,i74.43T, the
exports for last month exceeded those
of any other month In the history o
cotton exports. But as the hgure'
given out are only a preliminary re
port and do not include small quaint
ties passing through distant porti
there is a possibility that the tota
for October may yet equal or exceed
that OF the record.breaking month IL
1900.
OF course the October average II
not the average for every month II
the year. Taking the entire year
however, it appears that the value o
cotton exports now averages $1,000,
900 per day for each business day o
the year.
A million dollars day all the yea
round for the foreign sales of a singi'
agricultural product is an impressiv'
reminder of the vast resources OF ou

BIGGEST SCHOOL IN THE WORLD,

Like Chicago. New York has expert
enced some diticulty in supplying
school buildings Tor It's rapidly grow
ing population. but it has been work
ing hard al the problem latterly, and
1t now proclaims its purpose TO erect
the largest school in the world. The
site upon which the structure is to be
built cost $5l9,0VO, anu the executive
committee OF the board OF education
has just awarded the building con
tract at S5l3.O4J, SO that the improve l
properly will have cost more than a
million dollars.
The bniluing will be six stories Ugh
and will have a basement and saD-
cellar 1t Will accommodate $500 pup

auditorium IN the basement that vii!
seat 1900 persons. The sixth floor will
be fittel up with gymnasium. cook
ing room, workshop. ana lockers, anu
will still have space enough lett tor
seven OF the class rooms. IL is noted
also that the school Will be the first
one in the city TO be supplied with
elevators Tor carrying the children 10
the upper stories.
The intention is to make 1t practi-
cally Two schools, one tor boys and
the other lor girls, but IL viii be one

titled The little red schoolhodse oi

ably would be looked upon with un-
disguised scorn by the pupils OF such
a magnificent establishment. New
buildings, however, do not confer an
education by virtue OF their mouerh
improvements, and it would be easJ
10 set too great value upon their
fine accommodations and equipment
1t is also question whether halt
million dollar schoolhouses are neces'
sary or desirable from the standpoint
OF the people who pay the taxes. Ger
tainly if we go beyond comfort and
convenience and indulge in any extra
yagance OF finish the investment is
open to criticism, But perhaps sky

CUTTING DOWN CONSUMPTION
MORTALITY.

While disclaiming any intention Of
minifying the importance OF ''anu-tu-
berculosis crusades," the Chicago
health department, in Its weekly buIie-
in makes a timely protest against the
exaggerated utterances OF speakers
md writer's who merely incite a pan
cky fear on the part of the public
without suggesting any rational meas
ures for the restriction OF consump-
tion.
The worst feature of the direful
predictions made by the alarmists is
The absence oil facts upon which TO
base them. They appear 10 reveal in
fact a certain lofty disdain for statis-
tics on the question of tuberculosis.
The bulletin calls particular atten-
ton to one of the speeches at the
meeting OF the American Public
Health association held in Washington
last week. The speaker declared that
during the coming year there will be
$50 900 new victims of consumption
and that 100000 will be swept off the
earth by this disease. This Is to say
that there will be an increase of 35
per cent in mortality from consump
ton in the four years following the
census of 1900.
In 1900 there were 11,059 deaths
from consumption. An increase OF 81
per cent would be $4,000 This exag
gerated prognostica,ion is made in the
face Of the fact that the consumption
mortality fell from 12146 in every
100000 deaths in the previous year
1890. TO l0.6sS in the last year, de
| crease OF more than IL per cent.

THE SECOND MRS. TANQuERAY.'

Rose Coghlan, supported by an ex-
cellent company. presented A. w. Pr
nero's famous drama, 1.-THE Second
Mrs. Tanqueray." to large audience
at the Spokane last night.
The drama is brilliantly written,
constructed with skill, but morbid and
unhealthy. 1t Is one of the many
modern problem plays" that leave
a bad taste in the mouth.
The plot hinges about the reforma-
tory efforts of a woman of the demo-
mondaine who becomes the wife of
a so-called respectable man, with a
pure convent-br daughter. And, as
is customary in all such plays, the
moral taught is that "the wages of
sin is death"
But the drama was well played,
Miss Coghlan depicting the soul-har-
rowing torture of a suffering woman
in a vivid manner and her support
was all that could be asked.
1t will be with relief, however. that
we witness the next attraction, the
charming romance of Mary Tudor and
her commoner lover as depicted by
Ellie Ellsler in when Knighthood
Was in Flower"
