CAUSED BY SPECTATORS.
Difficulties Surrounding the Cotton
Trade in England.

Cambridge, England, Aug. 22.-The
most interesting matter of the British
association today was discussion of
president of the association, said he
feared gambling in futures could not
be stopped but an extension of cotton
cultivation would remedy the difficult
ties the cotton mills were experiencing.
The principal paper of the day was
by ]. A. Hutton, vice chairman of the
British Cotton Growing association, in
which he detailed the efforts of the as
sociation to relieve Great Britain from
dependence upon the United States for
raw cotton. He said that the sl-ort
time on which the English factories
were running was not entirely due to
the shortage of cotton but was 10. gely
owing to the serious aggravat ton of the
difficulty by numerous spectators. Mr..
Hutton pointed out that probably it
was not generally realized how very
difficult it was to remedy this state of
affairs, apart from the danger of Eng
Iish mills playing into the hands IF for
eign competitors. He estimated that
no less tnan 100000 people in this
country were more or less dependent
on the cotton trade. The employers
alone were losing $500, 900 a week
through short time and the total loss to
capital and labor in the cotton and
other allied trades throughout the
country was not less than 10000 per
week. or $75.000 900 per annum.
Mr.. Hutton said there was no hope of
any immediate relief.

PARKER WONT STUMP.
The Question Seems to Have Been Def
initeIy Determined.

Esopus, N. Y, Aug. 22.-It was made
plain at Rosemount today that there is
no certainty of Judge Parker's making
any speeches in the west in connection
with his st. Louis trip or at any other
time or place. The principle on which
Judge Parker will act in the matter
was learned from an intimate associate
of the judge, who said:
Judge Parker has no faith in the
utility of speech making for its own
sake, and will make no speeches any
where for the mere purpose of appear
ing in any given locality. He believes
a stumping tour by a presidential can
didate to be improper and he will un-
dertake no such tour. The only condi-
tion upon which he will make any
speech, anywhere, will be the fact that
he has some definite thing to say and
that he is convinced by his own reason
that some given time and place best
suits the saying of it there and then.
You may say with the utmost conf
dence that under no other conditions
will Judge Parker make any speech
anywhere"

Ubeat Advances in I,ondon.

London, Aug. 22.-All sorts of wheat
advanced a shilling today in the Lon
don market, which was brisker than
usual in August. The new British
wheat samples show fine. bold grain
and the weight is decidedly above the
average. The Mark Lane Express in
vestfgation, however, shows that the
yield seldom reaches 80 bushels per
acre. even in districts where there is
very ordinary figure, so little doubt is
felt that the average in the United
Kingdom will be somewhat low.

Omcial Report.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The state de-
partment has received the following
cablegram from Minister Griscom, at
Toxic:
japanese fleet sunk Novik off SAX
haIin."
The following details of the attack
on the Novik have been received at
the Japanese legation:
The captain of the protected cruis-
er Chitose reports that the Chitose
ard the. protected cruiser Tsushima at
tackled the Russian cruiser Novik at
kOrsakoysk. Sakhalin island, on the
morning of the goth. On the morning
OF the 21st the Novik, which had been
badly damaged. was stranded and
partly sunk. The Tsushima was hit
once in the coal bunker, but the dam
age has already been repaired. There
was no other damage nor was there
single casualty on either of the Jap
anese vessels"
KOrsakovsk is a port on the south
ern coast of Sakhalien. off the coast
of Siberia. and about $50 miles north
east of Vladivostok.
Details of the Fight
Toxic, Aug 22.-After a severe en-
gagement with the protected cruisers
Chltose and Tsushima, the greyhounds
OF the japanese navy, the fleet Russian
cruiser Novik has been vanquished.
Inc NoV1k, in a sinking con-
diuon, Was run ashore in Korsakovsk
harbor on the island of Sakhalin.
2 1t Is evident that the Chitose and
1sushima caught up with the NoVik
ana that a running fight ensued. The
contest was resumed and terminated
as told above Captain SukeiChiro
Takahashi, who is in command of the
Chitose reported the enga cement in d
brief telegram which reached the navy
department here Sunday afternoon. He
says he first attacked the Russian
cruiser Saturday afternoon and that on
Sunday morning ne inflicted heavy
damage upon her. Temporary repairs,
however, rendered the Russian cruiser
SeaWorthy and she continued to fight
The japanese suffered no casualties.
Tne Imperial Prince Yorihito of the
house of Higashi-F'usimi is second in
command on board the Chitose Can
Ine public generally nave frequently
expressed admiration for the cruiser,
her commander and her crew.
The Novik was one of the Russian
feet that steamed out from Port Ar
thur on the morning of August 10 to
force its way through the Japanese
lines She entered Tsingtau the night
OF August II. but got away from there
the night of August II, having remain
ed less than twenty-fOur hours. She
was then enormously reported to have
been sunk forty miles from Tsingtau.
The Novik was next reported headed |
for Van Dieman strait. at the southern |
end of Japan, evidently in an effort to |
reach NladiVostok via the eastern
coasts of the Japanese islands. Yester-
day it was reported from St Peters |
burg that the Novik had reached Kor-
sakovsk. From the fact that the jap |
anese cruisers met the Novik off the |
southern end of Sakhalin il would ap-
pear that the Russian cruiser had l
passed through the Kurile islands and /
was endeaVoring to reach Vladivostok |
by way of Laperouse strait avoiding
the passage of the Tsugaru strait. which /
WAS used by the Russian Vladivostok |
when it invaded the eastern |
coast of Japan.

The storming of Port Arthur which
the foreign dispatches say is proceed

high praise and the war office and
public are hoping almost against hope
that he will be able to hold out in

QUEEN HATsHEPsU's TOMB.
Burial Chamber Of Builder of Beautis
full Temple of Der-el-Bahari
Is Discovered.

The London Times has a description
Of the discovery, thanks to the lavish
expenditure and American tenacity Of
Theodore NJ Davis" of an important
tomb in the neighborhood of that Of
King ThOtmes ~, of the eighteenth
century dynasty, which was found in
1903 at Tbebes.
Mr.. Davis has discovered the tomb
of the famous Queen Hatshepsu, the
builder of the beautiful temple of Der
el-Bahari. 1t consists for the most
part Of a corridor sloping downward
into the heart of a limestone noun
tain. After reaching three chambers,
in spite of enormous difficulties, the
burial chamber was found Here are
two sarcophagi of hard sandstones, pol
ished like copper, covered with beauti-
fully formed hieroglyphics, which say
that one contained the mummy Of Hat
shepsu and her father, Thotmes I.
The lids Of the sarcophagi lie on the
floor. The sarcophagi are empty. Hat
shepsu's mummy may be found in one
of the uneXploTed side passages of the
tOmbs, where, perhaps, it was depos-
tied for the sake of safety in time Of
danger. The chamber is from 40 to so
feet long. There are several side
chambers which are still filled with
fallen rock and rubbish, but it can be
seen that they, as well as the chamber
itself, are panelled with painted blocks
of fine limestone.

LOSS THROUGH STRIKES.
New York State Board of Arbitration
Says Labor Troubles Prove
Costly to Employees.

Strikes and lockouts in New York were
costly to the men who took that means
to force their employers during the last
year, according to the report of the state
board of mediation and arbitration. The
aumber of strikes and lockOuts dur
ing the last year exceeded those of 1909
by so, there being 1872 in 1903. The strike
in the building trades and of the exca-
Vators and rockmen of that city caused
more lost time than all of the 142 labor
disputes of the previous year. As re-
suit of labor troubles of 1902, 573 ,2S5
days were lost.
The report admits that strikes for
recognition of union were as a whole IN
successful, and says the demand for rec
ignition Of the walking delegate in New
York city. which was lost, was the cause
Of the labor unions losing recognition Of
the union demand. The report deals at
great length with the strike in the build
ing trades in this city. OF 80 large dis
putes in the state 20 were in that city.
Outside the general building dispute
in this city, 1851 work people were di-
rectly concerned in this years disputes,
and they lost in the struggle over two
nsllion days work. Besides these, there
were at least seven thousand others,
who, though not participants, were
thrown out of work and lost more than
two hundred thousand days time. If to
these be added the 25,S34 who were di-
rectly. and the II .203 who were Indirect
ly involved in the Metropolitan dispute,
with the loss Of over one million seven
hundred thousand days aggregate, the
figures mount up to over one hundred
and seventeen thousand employees con-
cerned and 100000 work days lost.
The cost to the laboring man is placed at
over four million dollars.
