ETHE FALL RIVER STRIKE.
Labor Leaders Believe the Slump
in Cotton Will Work to the Mill
Operatives Advantage.

Fall River, Mass, Dec, THE sud
den slump in cotton, which has been
the sensation of the local market for
the past few days, during which the
price of the raw material dropped
nearly two cents a pound, has caused
widespread comment among both man
ufacturers and labor leaders, and no
end of speculation as to it's effect on
the local strike situation.
The labor leaders, who all along
have expressed entire confidence in III
innate victory, are now surer than
ever that the manufacturers must yield
within a few days. They are satisfied
that the manufacturers are greatly dis
turbed, and that it is only a question
of time before they will grant the de-
mands of the strikers.
Z James Tansey, president of the tex
tile council, says that if the mill men
live up to their statements they must
concede that under the present condi-
lions they are able to pay the old rate
of wages at least.

The FORESTRY CONGRESS-
1t Has Been Called to Meet in Wash
ington, D. c., January 20
Prominent Men VIII Discuss Ques-
lions of Great Economic Import
ance to the Country.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Eytensive ar
rangements are being made for an
American Forest congress to be held
at Washington, ID. c., January &c,
1905. The congress will be under the
auspices of the American Forestry as
ISOLATION, of which Hon. James Will
son, secretary of agriculture, is the
president. The purpose of the con-
gress, as announced in the official call.
is Ito establish a broader understand
ing of the forest in it's relation to the
great industries depending Upon it; to
advance the conservative use of the
forest for both the present
and the future need of these indus
tries; to stimulate and unite all eff
forts to perpetuate the forest as a per-
manent sourc of the nation" Fol-
lowing the announcement, an exhaus-
tive programme is being arranged,
which will make the congress by far
the most notable event in the history
Of American forestry.
The congress will be thoroughly rep
resentative of the great industrial in
terests which are directly and init
mately dependent for their well-being
upon the forests, as is shown by the
prominence of those who have already
notified Secretary Wilson of their in
teEtiOn to attend.
The interest of the federal govern
nent in the congress is evidenced by
the facts that the president of the
United States will deliver an address
and receive the delegates, that the sec
rotary of agriculture will preside, and
that the different government bureaus
especially concerned with the forests,
irrigation, and the public lands, will
be fully represented.

WARSHIPS ARE NOT NEEDED.
British Pay United States "a COnpli-
ment by Practically OmittinS
Coast Naval Armament.

London, Dec. 1.-THE United States
is paid a high compliment by Great
Britain in the new assignment of Bril-
ish war vessels to foreign stations. The
admiralty is to issue in a few days or
ders for a fresh distribution of the ma
tons naval force, under which only
two ships will be stationed in the en-
tire north Atlantic coats of America,
with two more in West Indian waters.
Even these will be used only for po-
lice purposes, and are considered as in
NO way intended as a guard upon Eng
lish interests against the United States.
The order contemplates a general
shifting about of the really useful YES
sells in King Edwards navy, and says:
while the relations between Amer
lea and Great Britain remain as they
are we do not need any warships there.
1t would be a waste of money"

Toxic, Dec. 7.-Completely riddled by
the Japanese shells fairly rained upon
Port Arthur harbor from 203-meter
hill, the Russian ~battleship Poltava has
sunk at its anchorage. The battleship
Retvizan is also so seriously damaged
as to be practically out of commission.
The Poltava, one of the finest YES
sells in the cars navy, was an armored
turret ship of 10, $50 tons, carrying four
12-inch, twelve 5.9-inch and thirty-four
small caliber guns and a complement
of 700 men. 1t went into commission
in 1898, costing nearly $6,000,000.
The Retvizan, which has figured
prominently in the naval engagements
Of the present war, is a II, 700-ton bat
tleship, armed with four 12-inch,
twelve 6-inch, twenty 3-inch and TWEEN
ty-three smaller caliber guns.
Another battleship in the harbor has
so heavy a list as to indicate that it
will be of no value in a fight. The
japanese observers on 203-meter hill
have not yet been able to determine
the ships identity.
There are reports that the cruiser
Bayan is aground.

London, Dec. THE Daily Tele-

Roosevelt's courageous recognition Of
thorny problems and says:
ct is a positive relief to contrast
his virile. language on the subject of

ventures to think will do more than
any public utterance of recent years
to increase sympathy between Britons
and Americans" following this ex-
preston with the passage from the
message where President Roosevelt
speaks of his foreign policy as n
for which the English-speaking world
will now and hereafter be thankful.
A majority of the newspapers edi-
torially approve of President Roose-
velt's advocacy of a strong army and
navy in order to preserve "the peace
Of justice" and acquit Mr.. Roosevelt
of any jingoisms.
Some, on the other hand, consider
the message injurious to the ideals of
disarmament and arbitration. The
Daily Graphic, for example, thinks the
message will strengthen the advO-

Our population is On the increase as
never before and there is not a shadow
Of doubt that it will continue to stead
lily increase, at least for the next half
dozen years. When it is realized that
in the last SO years u population has
increased 100 per cent, while that of

expansion in our population means to
the United States. And the increase

and that is to increase our prosperity

The horse values for the United
States in the last % years show some
interesting fluctuations. In 1884 the
horse seems to have reached the top
notch in average value, when the de-
partment of agriculture estimated his
cash worth at $74.64. This high aver
age resulted in a period of o%ver-pro-
duction, which, combined with the eff
feet of bicycles, caused his average
to drop to the lowest ebb in 1897, when
he was worth $31.51. His rise flUm
that depth to an average of $49.07 in
the census year was steady.

DR.. Lewald, the German Commits

tional Commissions Claim.
The JURY Was INTERNATIONAL;
AWARDS NOT SUBJECT TO REVISION.
1t Would be IrrecOnciIabIe With the
ernatiO Character of the
Exposition for a National Body to
Interfere With the Findings OF an
iOnal Jury.

st. Louis, Dec. 7.-Dr. Theodor Le-
Worlds fair from Germany, and first
vice-president of the superior jury OF
awards, has taken issue with the con-
tention of the national commission or
final jurisdiction in the matter Of
awards made by that jury.
When asked if he had seen the let
ter of President Carter to Maj. Pang-
born, outlinging the claims of the ma
tional commission, and for his opinion
of its merits, DR.. Lewald made the
following statement:
"Of course, l read the letter of Pres
ident Carter and the statement made
by President Francis. | fully share
the standpoint as expressed in this
statement, but would, however, like
to draw attention to II very impor-
tant point in particular.
In the act of congress it is stated
expressly that the exposition shall be
international in character, and the
lulCS d1o 1CSuIoLAOho O. SnRAhNiSAJ
that the jury shall be international.
In accordance with this the represent
atives of foreign nations have been
members of the group jury, the depart
ment jury, the superior jury and the
committee of five.
ut would. therefore, be ~irreconcila-
Bile with the international character of
the exposition were a corporation, be
il the national commission or the eX-
position company, which are not in
ternational corporations, in any way to
interfere with the distribution of the
awards.
Jury Made Gcrmnny's Awards.
There is no doubt that the imperial
government of Germany would never
have permitted Germany's participa-
ton in the competition had there been
the slightest possibility that the find
ings of the international jury could
be changed by any corporation that
was not an international one.
"As the committee Of five has def
nitely determined all of the German
awards, l have already had the list
published in the official journal of the
German government.
81 have participated in the meetings
Of the jury from the first day. The
number of Germany's representatives
was ". Among them were men who
are the most prominent and ablest ex-
perts in their respective field of knowl-
edge, and a number of them had al
ready served as jurors at former in
ternational eXpOsitionS.
Fullest Appreciation Due.
"They informed me of one accord, and
/ have already previously taken occa-
sion to voice their remarks, that the
fullest appreciation was due to the
work of the jury at this exposition.
The same was said of the integrity,
impartiality, experiences, earnestness
and devotion to duty shown by the
jurors in all the various instances.
"The awards gained in st. Louis are
not in the slightest way inferior to
those gained at any other exposition"
