10 influence the course of the campaign.
The general staff tonight is without
direct news Of the sinking of the Shiki-
snima and the Full, but there is an inn
preston that it may be true. The re-
ports, at any rate, have Influenced fresh
life and enthusiasm in official circles,
where 1t is believed that the tide has
turned.
No surprise is expressed by the ad-
miralty at the japanese vessels strik-
ing Russian mines, the admiralty ex-
pecting such a mishap to Vice Admir-
al Togo, particularly since the naval
commanders at Port Arthur ave faith
fully duplicated his plan which result
ed in the sinking Of the Petropavlovsk.
Wherever off Port Arthur the japanese
squadron appeared during the day,
that same night Russian torpedo boats
stole out and carefully planted contact
mines, which, floating below the sur
face, would not be touched by the des-
troyers, but ships of heavier draught,
cruising in the mine fields, would be
sure TO strike them. The favorite point
selected by the japanese for lombard
ments of Port Arthur is Liao-Ti-Shan
been thickly sown with Russian mines
Other points besides Liao-Ti-Shan have
also been mined and it has been dan
gerous for the japanese ships to cruise
in those waters.

CONSUMPTION OF COTTON.
Especially Great ia the Increase in
Cotton States-Cotton Manufacture
Traced From Its Inception.

Washington, May 19.-The depart
ment of agriculture will shortly issue a
comprehensive report ON the consump-
ton of cotton in the cotton states. COM
piled by J. L. Watkins, the cotton ex-
pert of the Bureau of Statistics. 1t
traces cotton manufacture in this oun-
try from it's inception to the present
time and reviewing the industry in the
past twenty years, says that notwith-
standing the great increase in the
worlds consumption OF cotton, the
overshadowing feature of the period is
the phenomenal increase in consump-
ton in the cotton states. This con-
sumption in the south increased ,607, 900
bales or 500 per cent, the consumption
in the north has increased 10000 or
SO per cent. and in the whole country
1858, 600 bales or-nearly 14S per cent.
That, the report says, is of immense
significance to the countries
American cotton, because every addi-
tional 10000 bales consumed in this
country, means shorter time for some
foreign mill, perhaps it's shutting down,
assuming Of course, that no further
expansion of the American crop viii
take place.
During the past twenty years, the
United states has increased its cotton
crop nearly $780, 900 bales, or about So
per cent. midas crop has increased
1,500, 900 bales Of 400 pounds each, or
73 per cent; Egypt'S crop has increased
$4,000 bales OF 500 pounds each, or 70
per cent; Russia, which used to draw
so largely upon this country for her
raw cotton, is now supplying her own
mills with 200, 0G0 or 500, 600 bales grown
in her trans-Caspian provinces: Brazil
has almost ceased exporting cotton on
| account of home demand fer her crop;
and the continent of Europe has in
| creased it's consumption Of cotton q
492. 600 bales. OF about 95 per cent. The
| consumption of cotton in East India,
the report points out, has increased 1,
200, 900 bales or about 200 per cent.
in the last twenty years, and her mills
| now use about half of the crop produc-
! ed there; Japan has erected mills equip
| ped with q, 1888 600 spindles and is con-
Stunning from 100000 to 100000 bales OF
cotton annually, nearly 20 per cent. OF
which is American. The worlds con-
sumption of cotton has increased near
ly 1000, 600 bales, or about "a per cent.
and the United States, the largest pro-
| Queer, also has become the largest con-
sumner of cotton; hence the price of its
| staple is now regulated in the home
market, instead of Liverpool.
Every year since 1890 there has beer

Loss of the japanese Ships.

Che Foo, May 19.-12:30 p. ma par
ty of thirteen Russians, arriving from
Dalny, this morning, by junk, are au-
thority for the statement that during
Il bo~mbardment of Port Arthur by the
Japanese Monday afternoon, the Japa-
nese battleship Shikishima and the
cruiser Asama struck mines and sank.
The Russians say the Shikishima sank
two mInues after running on the mine
and that the Asama was being toWed
away by a vessel Of the bombarding
fleet when she also went down.
"A number Of Russian torpedo boats
then went out, but the japanese receiv-
ed reinforcements, and the Russians
retired.
Today's arrivals say that the entrance
to Port Arthur was blocked, but that
one of the sunken steamers was re-
moved and the entrance is now open,
but is still dangerous:
Later\reports say the battleship Full,
not the cruiser Asama, which struck
the mine on the port bow, had a heavy
list and was also down by the bow, but
was righted and went off in tow of the
other cruisers. 1t is thought impos-
sibler however. thai she could reach
port.

Tangier, Morocco. May ls.-An
American citizen named Perdicaris.
and his step-son. Cromwell Marley.
a British subject, were carried on by
the well known bandit, Fraissouli and
his followers last night. and Will
doubtless be held for a heavy ram
som. The captives were staying at
Perdicaris' summer residence, only
three miles from Tangier. when the
bandits attacked and captured them.
Perdicaris is of Green origin. but
is a naturaIized citizen OF the United
Stotes. He is very wealthy. and has
lived in Tangier for years. He mar
ried an English woman, whose son
is his companion in captivity.
Washington, ID. c., May 1s.-The
state department has received a ca
blegram from United States Consul
Gummere, dated at Tangier to-day,
which, after reviewing the facts as TO
the kidnapping, says:
Mr.. Gummere and the British
minister are acting with energy in the
matter. They have sent a special
carrier TO the court TO inform the Sui
Tan > uepuly I'd comply Win al iC
quests they make in themselves. and
to insist that the terms demanded by
Fraissouli shall be granted. In order
TO obtain the release of the captives.'
The demands made upon the Sultan
by Mr.. Gummere that he pay the
ransom demanded In this last case is
said to be in accordance with Oriental
customs. Payment is necessary prob
ably TO save the lives of h captives.
Orders were tent to Rear-Admiral
Chadwick to-day, which he will re-
ceive when his command, the South

New York. May 19.-President
Clowry. of the Western Union Tele-

removal of all Western Union wires
running to places supposed to be pool
rooms. He said he had issued direc-
lions to the company's workmen to
remove every wire ove which horse
racing e w exclusively had formerly
been furnished to private subscribers.
and to turn in every instrument used
in this service.
The pool rooms are now likely to
be thrown entirely ON their own re-
sources, for the police commissioner
has announced hat the New York
Telegraph Company has agreed to CO.
operate with him in stripping the
pool rooms of their wire service. 1t
was said to-day that the men who
operate the larger pool rooms are
forming a company to obtain for
themselves the news they need.
