Audiences.

Warren Mobiles Theater Company,
after an absence Of two years, opened
at Gottschalk's new theater last night
to what was thelelargest audience,
perhaps, that has gathered since the
opening of the house. Something
more than a thousand people crowded
into seats and space designed to
accommodate about 500 people com
fortably. Mr.. Noble and his COM
pany have always been very popular
here, and the writer remembers when
a few years ago, the train from the
south was delayed nearly three hours,
an audience that filled the old theaUer
to its capacity, waited patiently for
the arrival Of the company, and until
joycd the performance immensely.
The play last night, the "GOld King"
was beautifully presented, the COS
tuning, scenery and general display
being beyond doubt the best Of the
season. Mr.. Noble, Miss Johnstone,
Mr.. Hezlep, Mr.. Johnstone and all the
old favorites were greeted cordially by
the audience. The.play is powerful,
was finely acted throughout, and
made strong impression. This eX-
cellent company will play throughout
the week, promising number Of new
productions, among otherszMiss Hur-
sey from Jersey, and Folks Up Wolf
Creek. Tonight the bill will be A
New England Romance, pronounced
one of the best.-A berdeen News.

Brookings May Haves a Band at
the St. Louis Fair.

The REGISTER is informed that an
effort is being made by Prof. j. p.
Mann to combine the college and
city bands and have the organization
60 to ST. louis along with the college
cadets as the cadet band. This would
no doubt meet with the approval of
all concerned as Brookings would get
some valuable advertising and such a
band would be able to put up some
excellent music. 1t is good idea

The SOuth's Progress in Cotton
Milling.

In an article on National Wealth
from Cotton" Dun's Review says that
returns from the cotton crop during
the current year will reach stupendous
figures, the small decrease in quantity
being much more thar offset by the
phenomenally high average of prices.
In order to emphasize the remarka-
BILE development of this industry, the
department Of m and labor
has issued a comparison of the prog
ress in ten years, referring only to
the foreign in raw cotton,
manufactured products and cotton
seed. Exact figures of exports for
nine months are compared with the
same part of 1894, and it is estimated
that the fiscal yea will establish a
record of exports in this industry
valued at more than $500, 000, 600.
This is q large sum of money to put
on the credit side of this country's
ledger in n year Of International
trade, and actually exceeds the bal
ance of trade in the previous year,
although falling short of the excess
of exports over imports in the five
years ending June 30, 1902. In no
year prior to 1898 was this nations
favorable trade balance on all ac-
counts within 500, O00, coo of this
years value of cotton exports alone
The department of agriculture is pre-
pairing an extensive report on the
consumption of cotton, of which some
extracts have been mace public. Ac-
cording to this review, the striking
feature Is the increased activity of do
nestle mills at the south. In the asst
twenty years the consumption in the
south increased 1907, 600 bales, or
500 per cent; the consumption in the
north increased 10000 bales, or SO
per cent, and in the whole country
2~,369,000 bales, or nearly 14S per
cent. The best part of it all is that
the price of the staple is now regu-
lated in the home market instead of
Liverpool. Every year since 1890
there has been an increase in the
number of mills and spind1es in oper-
alton, and, with the single exception
of 1S93-'94, an increase in the number
of bales consumed.0Charlotte Chron-

FAILED TO BREAK DEADLOCK.
PARTY LEADERS TRY TO FORCE
A NOMINATION.
Break From Yates to LOwden. But
Final Ballot Shows Little Change
Free For All Fight Prevented by
Police Interference.

Springfield, Ill, Jun "A desper-
ate effort on the art OF the leaders
to break the deadlock in the state
convention failed to-day, and at s
o'clock this evening, the assembly
took a recess until 10 O'Clock to-
morrow morning. without having
nominated a candidate for Governor.
The attempt t bring about the
break was spectacular. EX-Congress-
nan Walter Reeves, chairman Of the
committee on resolutions, and Chair
man Cannon engineered the plan
which was made possible by the ac-
ton of the committee on resolutions,
in reporting back the resolution Of
fered yesterday TO the effect that the
delegates be released from instruc-
tons.
Chairman Cannon elo%quently plead
ed with the delegates to break the
deadlock. He declared that the con-
vention by its action was injuring the
Republican party, not only in Illinois,
but in the entire nation.
There was not a vote against the
resolution, but when the roll was
called or the 9th ballot, there was
no substantial change from the ballots
of the previous day.
When the convention
for the afternoon session, the long
expected break from Yates to Low
den came, and Lowden got the vote
of Speaker Cannon's district, as we'll
as the votes of several other counties
and some scattering delegates. For
several ballots his vote increased, I'M
til he reached a vote of 631 1-2. Then
the tide turned, and on the closing
ballot, the 18th, his vote a dropped
to 532 1-2. lie requires 1852 to nomi-
nate.
Yates lowest vote during the day
was 1862, and his closing vote was
405. There was no material change
in the vote Of the other candidates.
Much excitement prevailed during
the afternoon session. Lowden
shouters started several demonstra-
ions in efforts to stampede the con-
vention, and they made a great din.
When Lowden began to fall back, the
Yates people began a demonstration
and let down from the Orders a great
banner bearing the words Hold the
Fort"
Chairman Cannon ordered it taken
down, and a dozen ready hands, led
by Sheriff Ben Brainerd, tore it from
it's fastenings and threw the wreck
among the Morgan county delegation
of Yates men. A free for all fight
was prevented only by the interior
ence of he police.

case because he did not want it tried
before a certain judge. Suppose he
should be called up for contempt,
must he die or must he lick anyDody's
feet. The officers of our government,
who should be open to criticism mora
thar any others, are judges.
He took the ground hat the priso-
ners were not guilty, even in the event
that Judge PEBBLES found that the affi-
davits were wilfully and c~orruptly
false in alleging that he was drunk,
but he cannot rely on his own know4-
edge to find out this fact. but must
have the support Of affidavits from
other people to convince himself Of It.
Further thar that he made his drunk
enneSS an issue over the respondents
objection and ordered them to file aft
davits on that issue, yet the very first
affant who alleged he was drunk, he
put in jail. Having made drunkenness
an issue, he had passed upon it sum
marily before the hearing was con-
cluded t said he would put In jail
whoever said he was drunk. He said
this was detestati0n, of which the
plainest statement could not be made
without making the blood Of every
free born North Carolinian boil.
Congressman Thomas for the defense
made a calm argument, briefer than
those of Busbee n Tillett, but very
impressive, saying the men he repre-
scented were his personal friends and
were among the very best citizens OF
North Carolina.
Busbee asked If the court wanted to
hear oral evidence. saying his side did
not desire to introduce any and he un-
derstood there were many witnesses
in attendance.
Judge Conner announced that they
would hear no oral evidence and the
witnesses might go home. He said
before adjournment, until 8 o'clock,
we desire to hear agument especially
upon the question of jurisdiction OF
the judge to make the order and ne
cessity for notice to petitioners be-
fore making the order. The u
took adjournment until 9 tomorrow

TO CURTAIL PRODUCTION.
Orders Issued to Work Cotton Mills
on Short Time

Boston, Mass, Jun 2--OrderS
were issued to-day by several cotton
mill managers, instructing agents to
curtail production on account of the
depression in the textile industry.
Many mills in southern and central
New England have been running on
short time, all the spring, and at
present about fifty thousand opera
tives are affected.
The employees of the Pemberton
mills, of Lawrence, were notified to-
day hat the plant would be shut
down on Saturday for two months
a similar notice was posted also at
the Methuen mills, in Methuen. About
1000 hands are employed by the two
concerns. The Arlington mills cot
ton department at Lawrence is on
short time.
The mills of the wamsutta corpor-
alton, h largest in New Bedford,
were closed tonight for the remain
der Of the eek 1t is understood
that three of the mills operated by
the corporation will remain closed for
some time, while others will run only
four days each week. The Wamsut-
Ia company employs about 5000
hands.
The New Bedford mills have been
running on full time, and the Wam-
sutta is the first there to adopt a
short time schedule. The curtail-
ment possibly may extend to other
mills. as some Of them are controlled
by interests which are identified with
the Wamsutta management.
The Edwards Manufacturing Com
pany, Of this city. will close its mills
at Augusta, Me-, in July for two
months. There are about 1,4OO oper-
atives in Augusta.

APPEAL TO SENTIMENT.
Angerra Chiefs to Make Personal
Appeal to Raisuli to Release Perdi-
carts and Varley.

Tangier, Morocco, June 2.-The
Italian third-class cruiser Dogali ar
rived here to-day.
A delegation of chiefs of the An
gerra tribe has left here to make a
personal appeal to Raisuli, the ban
dit chief, to release Messrs. Perdica-
ris and Marley, in order Ito prevent
the d~ebarkment and permanent oc-
cupation of Morocco by foreigners
opposing the Moslem faith and the
expulsion of native Mohammedans."
This mission is considered impor-
tant. as the Mohammedan chiefs
unite in appealing to Raisuli not to
endanger their religious supremacy
in Morocco. The French government
relies much upon the appeal to Mo-
hammedan sentiment.
The natives are greatly excited by
the arrival of SO many foreign war
ships. They call all foreigners "Rou-
mis-" meaning infidels, and they fear
the Roumis are aobut to make a
united effort to drive out those who
ARE of the Mohammedan faith.

States Consul General Gummere Wis
