New York Dec 6.-Tncrease my. es-
Innate of this years American cotton
crop to 100000 bales, including
nhterS. ! believe this quantity to have
been certainly grown, although, pos
SiGly IT may not be marked. ] believe
mat the forthcoming ginner's report,
which will show the quantity of cot
TON ginned up TO the 18Th of Decem-
Der. will fully sustain this view, There
was ginned i'm the Twenty-Five work
ng days between the 18th of October
and the 18th of November, 1904, APP
ldoXimately 100000 bales. This Is
lat the rate Of 1906 bales a day Dur
ll.g the period Of last year, there was
glnned 100000. From the 14th of
November TO the 18Th of December
there are tWenty-four working days,
allowing FOR Thanksgiving. If during
these twenty -four days there shall be
3inned only half as much per diem as
during the previous period, the
AMOUNT @inneC would be 100000,
which, added TO the amount previous
ly ginned, namely 7S6, 900 would give
up approximately 100000 bales
girned up to the 18th of December.
This, | think, Will prove to be conscrV-.
alive, and probably an underestimate
of the actual figures, and if this 80
per cent Of the crop, the indicated
yields, 1,S73,333 bales, without all ow-
ing anything for hrters. Last wears
only S6.S per cent. had been ginned by
December 18th, and the year previous
81 peg cent
The Chronicle of last Saturday says
that picking is still in progress in
many sections and I am supplied
With photographs of a number OF UNI
picked fields in the South which
shall shortly publish. and which give
ndisputable evidence of the fact that
large amount of cotton is still I'M
picked.

The Navy.

The strong arm of the government
in enforcing respect for its just rights
in international matters is the navy or
the United States. | most earnestly
recommend that there be no halt IN
the work of upbuilding the American
Navy. There is no more patriotic duty
before us as people than to keep the
navy adequate to the needs of this
country's position. We have under
taken to build the Isthmian Canal. We
have undertaken to secure for our
selves onr just share in the trade OF the
Orient We have undertaken to pro-
tect our citizens from improper treat
ment in foreign lands. We continue
steadily to insist on the application of
the Monroe Doctrine to the Western
Hemisphere. Unless our attitude in
these and all similar matters is to be
a mere boastful sham we cannot af-
ford to abandon our naval programme.
Our voice is now potent for peace, and
is so potent we are not AFRAID OF Wal.
But our protestations upon behalt OF
peace would neither receive nor de-
serve the slightest attention if we were
impotent to make them good.
The war which now unfortunately
RACES in the Far East has
emphasized in striking fashion
the new possibilities of naval warfare.
The lessons taught are both strategic
and tactical, and are political as well
as military The experiences of the
war have shown in conclusive fashion
that while sea-going and Bookkeeping
torpedo destroyers are Indispensable,
and fast lightly armed and armo"ed
cruisers very useful, yet that the main
reliance. the main standby, in any
navy worthy the name must be the
great battleships, heavily armored and
heavily gunned. Not Russian or
Japanese battleship mas been sunk py
q torpedo boat, or by gunfire, while
among the less protected ships, cruis-
er after cruiser has been destroyed
whenever the hostile squadrons have
gotten within range of one another's
weapons. There will always be a large

PRESIDENT BURNS TALKS.
Thinks His Measures Would Have
Prevented Trouble.

Denver, Colo, June 13.-In an inter
view published here concerning the
closing Of the Portland mine at Victor
by order Of General Sherman NJ Bel
who is in command of the Teller coun'
ty military district, James F. Burns
president of the Portland company
said that nearly one half Of the Port
land force were not members Of the
miners union.
"There were about four hundred as
good miners as ever handled a pick
working there" said Mr.. Burns.
"They are, most of them, men with
families and they are neither law
breakers nor agitators. would not
refuse q man work because he did not
belong to the union, nor because he
did. | wanted the best miners and
kept wedding out the poorer ones with
out reference to unions. Lam firm
believer in what they call the open
shop If other mine owners had
adopted my plan there would not be
an idle man in the camp today, and
there would not be u disturbance
worthy Of the name"

THOUGHT UNLIKELY.
President VIII Not interfere In The
Colorado Troubles.

Washington, June IA. - President
Roosevelt received telegram from W
D. Haywood, secretary of the Western
Federation of Miners, urging him tc
institute an investigation of the pres
ent serious condition of affairs in the
Cripple Creek mining district of Colo.
RADIO. Beyond the mere statement
that the telegram had been received
and that no answer had yet been sent
to it, no official information has been
obtainable at the White House. What
action, if any at all, the president may
take, is not even intimated.
At least twice heretofore within
the last six months the president has
been asked to interfere in the Colo.
RADIO troubles, but declined after mature
deliberation and consideration, be.
cause he had no legal power to take
action in the matter. 1t is regarded
by those in close touch with him to be
unlikely that the president will inter
fere in any way with the action of the
constituted authority Of the state Of
Colorado.

STATE WILL TAKE A HAND.
Suit 10 be Brought 10 Find Out Who
Shall Control.

Topeka, June 15.-Some time ago
the Painters and Paperhangers' union
of Atchison served notice on one of its
members that he would have to with
draw from the state militia or be ex-
PEELED from the union. He had to
depend upon his trade for living, so
he offered his resignation as a private
in the Atchison militia company, CIV
ing his reason for doing SO, The cap
tain took the matter up with Adjutant
General Kelsey. The latter consulted
the attorney general and it was de.
cided not to accept the resignation.
Now the union threatens to expel the
militiaman in suit against the union
for damages.
The revised constitution Of the Paint
ers' union provides that no militiaman
shall belong to the union, 1t also pro-
vides that no policeman or other officer
in the employ Of corporation shall
belong.
III believe that it is treason for @
union to bar militiamen," said Gen.
eral Kelsey, and if the unions insist
on enforcing that provision Of their
constitution the state should take o
hand. 1t puts the union ahead Of the
government. A member Of the union
is prohibited from belonging to the
military branch. He is prohibited
from taking up arms in defense Of his
state. If that isn't treason, what is it?
lrejected the resignation Of the Atch-
ison member simply to bring the mat
ter to a focus. I want to see whether
the union is greater than the state;
also to see if union can deprive q
man Of the rights guaranteed him by
the state and federal constitution"

Cripple Creek, Colo, June l5.--Prac.
tically all the large mines in this dis
trict, which closed down after the
explosion at Independence in which
more than twenty non-union miners
were killed and injured, are working
excepting the Portland mine. General
Bell declares that no members of the
Western Federation of Miners will be
permitted to remain in the camp and
that the Portland company conse.
quently will be forced to fall in line
with the policy of the other mine
owners who organized to kill the
miners federation.

New York, June 13.-Lawrence Cur
ran, leader Of the striking freight
handlers, after protracted confer
ence with prominent labor men here
has issued a statement that he will
call out the freight handlers from New
York to San Francisco unless the strike
is settled within three days.
Curran estimated that more than
$4,000 would be affected if the new
strike is ordered.

Ruins Left by Cliff Dwellers.

Washington, June ls.-Secretary of
The interior has withdrawn from posi-
Bile settlement $4,000 acres Of land in
Southwestern Colorado on which it is
proposed to establish a national park
for the protection of the ruins left by
the cliff jewellers of that region. A
bill creating the park was passed by
both houses of congress last session,
but for lack Of time was not agreed to
in conference. The withdrawal is in
anticipation of favorable action at the
next session.

Internal Machines.

London, June 13.-The Daily Mail
asserts: "Two internal machines were
found on the night Of June 7, concealed
in tobacco boxes in the Tsarkoye Selo
Palace, where the Car is now living.
One of the machines was in the dining
room, the other in the audience cham
ber The mechanism in each was
working when discovered. The strict
est secrecy is observed, and this state
ment, although true in every detail, is
sure to be categorically denied"

Individual Unions Tolerated But Not
FederatIons.
EXTENDED OVER THE DISTRICT,
Agreement Prepared by Citizens Alliance
Not to Employ Men Connected With
Any District Assembly or Kindred
Organization.

Cripple Creek, Colo, June 13.-The
disorder throughout the DISCREET re-
sulting from the terrible dynamite
outrage at Independence in which
over twenty men were killed and
crippled is gradually subsiding and an
attempt is being made today to restore
normal conditions. Work has resumed
at mines employing non-union men
which had been closed
Employers in all branches of bust
ness in this city, without an exception,
so far as yet canvassed have signed the
agreement prepared by the citizens
alliance not to employ help of any
kind that is in any way connected
with the district trades assembly, or
the state federation of labor, the
American Labor union or the Western
Federation of Miners or any kindred
organization.
This agreement of the proprietors
has caused CONSERVATION among the
clerks and employees in shops and
stores who are members of the retail
clerks, BARRIERS, carpenters, bar ten
ders, cooks and other trades unions
as all will have to quit the unions to
hold their positions.
The present scale of wages will pre-
vail and individual unions will be
tolerated, it is conceded, if they are
conducted on conservative lines and do
not give aid, directly Or indirectly to
the Western Federation of Miners.
This warfare against unions as at
present organized and associated will
be extended, the organizers Of the
movement say, to every city and town
in the district,

Taboo All Unions,

Cripple Creek, June 1.-THE Citi-
zen's Alliance determined at a meeting
that unionism must be banished from
the Cripple Creek district forever.
Attorneys are preparing document
to be presented to all merchants, bust
ness men and other employers Of labor
for their signatures pledging them to
not in the future employ any one con-
nected with u labor union. Three
thousand men and women will be
affected.

England Will Object.

London, June lO.-The foreign office
has not received any request from Rus
sia or Turkey to agree to the passage
of the Russian Black sea feet through
the Dardanelles. 1t is pointed out
that Turkey doubtless would be de-
lighted to get rid of Russia's Black sea
fleet, but the passage of warships
through the Dardanelles would be a
distinct contravention Of the treaty,
permission for which has neither been
asked nor is likely to be granted If
asked for,

Vladivostok, June lO.-All is quiet
here. 1t is stated here that Port Ar.
thur is abundantly supplied with pro-
visions and munitions of war. The
bulk Of the supplies now there was
sent from here before communication
was cut off. Vladivostok was not
weakened by sending these supplies
and there is plenty of everything re-
naming here except sugar Trade
with the interior is improving. A
train with ten cars laden with miscel-
Ianeous goods is dispatched daily.

Denver, June 1O.-There were two
battles on the day that soldiers reached
the Cripple Creek district; between the
soldiers and the Union miners; the one
at Dunnville threatening at first to
have extremely serious effect, form the
main topic of discussion throughout
the camp. The Big Bull Hill af-
fair was simply skirmish between
union men and soldiers who were
securing the hills for miners wanted
by the authorities.

Old Soldiers Story.

Sonoma, Mich, June 15-That even
in actual warfare disease is more ter.
rible than bullets is the experience Of
Delos Hutchins of this place. Mr..
Hutchins as a Union soldier saw three
years Of service under Butler Barke
in the Louisiana swamps, and as a
result got crippled with rheumatism
so that his hands and feet got all
twisted out Of shape, and how he sui.
fered only a rheumatic will ever know.
For twenty-five years he was in
misery, then one lucky day his drug
gist advised him to use Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. OF the result Mr.. Hutchins
says:
1.-THE first two boxes did not help
me much, but got two more, and
before | got them used up was a
great deal better. kept on taking
them and now my pains are all gone
and feel better than lave in years.

Topeka, June 13.-Word reached this
city of the death Of c. P. Dewey of
Manhattan, in Wheeling, W. Va. Mr..
Dewey is rated as a two time million
aire. He had extensive iron mine
interests in West Virginia, Ice and
rental incomes in Chicago, a 100000
acre ranch in Rawlins county, KS, and
over 1000 in Riley and Gcaly counties
in this state. In Manhattan he owned
much town property including the
electric light plant and the telephone
