Fabrics Made of Wood Pulp.

Certain fabrics are being made in Eu-
rope, the warp of which is composed Of
cotton and the wool of thread made
from wood pulp. These goods were in
troduced almost four years ago. At the
outset sheets of wood pulp paper were
cut into finest shreds and twisted into
thread by machines made for the pur-
pose. Lately the paper process has been
abandoned and wood pulp is passed d.
rectly over grooved metal sheets, form
ing very thin ribbons, which pass in
turn over a machine that twists them
into very regular thread of any de-
sired length.

TAFT'S Panama
CANAL POLICY
Speaks Before the Cincinnati Com
mercial Club On "Policy
and Practice"
PANAMA Canal SEVERAL DAYS.
JOURNEY FROM OUR TARIFF WALL.
Melville e. ingalls,, Former Presi-
dent of the Big Four, Says Rail-
roads Should Be Investigated
the Same as National Banks
Turn Them Inside Out.

Cincinnati, May 2S.-The celebration
of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the
Cincinnati Commercial club closed
with banquet, at which the speakers
discussed the questions of the day.
Secretary of War Taft made the prin-
cipal speech. He spoke on Policy and
Practice" saying:
IF the Panama canal were inside
the territory of the United States, Of
course all material used on the canal
could pay duty or be- bought in the
United States, but as the construction
of the canal is number of days jour-
ney from the tariff wall of the United
States, it presents exactly the same
case as is presented in the case of the
Philippine islands. Now, if congress
wants to pay more than France was
willing to pay, then they are welcome
to do so, but in the absence of a rule
that applies. The law requires that,
prices and quality being the same, we
must buy American goods. In the alb
sence of rule we feel bound by our
trust to build as cheaply as possible"
Discussing the relation of the gov
| eminent to railroads, the secretary ex-
planned the present statute on the in
terstate commission, calling attention
to its references to unreasonable
rates." and the position Of the inter-
state commission on the matter He
insisted that the measure proposed
was very moderate measure, and that
it was unfair to denounce it so severe
| ly as had been done. He believed the
changes proposed by the Esch-Town-
send bill would result in good.
The closing speech, by Melville E
ingalls,, who recently retired as presi-
dent of the Big Four railway, brought
a new and striking suggestion for
added power for the interstate COM
merce commission. He said:
you should investigate the rail-
roads as you do the national banks;
turn them inside out. Give the inter.
state commission all the clerks they
want, and full authority to investigate
the railroads, but don't give then
power to fix rates. What the people
want and will have is equal and fail
treatment to ALL"

Toxic, May 20, 2:15 p. NIT is Off
cially announced that Admiral Rojest-
vensky's fleet has been practically an
initiated. Twelve warships have been
sunk or captured and two transports
and two torpedo boat destroyers have
been sunk.
That a great naval battle has been
fought in the Korean straits, which
lie between the southwest coast of
Japan and the east coast of Korea, is
confirmed by late bulletins.
An unyielding censorship of all press
dispatches by the authorities at Toxic
has prevented the sending of a detailed
report of what passed, but the Amer
lean consul at Nagasaki has notified
Washington, in what appears to be I'M
qualified language, that the Russian
fleet has suffered severe loss.
The japanese minister at Washing
ton says that he believes the state
ment from Nagasaki, but that he is
without official information further
than to have an intimation that the
japanese fleet has been at least par
TALLY victorious.

Ell Paso, Tex, May pa half mill

Rio Grande north Of Ell Paso in the
Mexilla valley. Between 5000 and TO-
600 acres of farm lands are under wa

have fled to Ell Paso. One family at
Anthony was caught in the food and
was two days and night without food

ter is still rising rapidly, threatening
greater damage, especially at Ell Paso,
where the lower section of the city is
in peril if the sand dyke gives away.
Laborers are working constantly to
protect the dyke with sand bags.

The royal salute of England is also Il

we threw off the yoke of the mother
country it signified that we we're old

BATTERED AND DISPERSED.
and Russia Has Lost Forever the
Naval Supremacy of the Orient.


London, May 29-Beaten, dispersed,
pursued, the great Russian fleet has
lost the day, and lost forever the naval
supremacy of the orient.
Rojestvensky has met Togo, and the
Japanese admiral is driving the shat
tered enemy over the China and Japan
seas.
The Russian battleships Borodino
and Orel have been sunk, three Of the
cars cruisers have been destroyed
and repair ship has gone down.
Such, in brief is the news received
late last night from Nagasaki.
The Japanese, in their daring tor
pedo attacks, have sacrificed ten de-
stroyers and have lost one cruiser.
What other losses the Russians have
sustained in their defeat, and how
greatly the japanese have suffered in
winning their victory is not known.
The statistics of carnage, broken ships
and drowning men can not be made up
until Japan sees fit to make up and
publish them, or until the detailed
story Of the greatest naval fight of
ages is told by the remnant of some
Russian crew seeking shelter in a neu-
| trail port.
Meaning of the Victory.
"Togo holds the straits" is the la
comic message that has been received
by the japanese legation. This means
that Rojestvenskys bold dash fol
| Vladivostok, by way of the Korean
strait and across the sea of Japan, has
failed that Togo, after months of dis,
appearance, appeared suddenly in the
Su-Shin channel to bar the way; thai
the Russians valiant attempt to regair
their prestige afloat is dashed that the
coasts Of japan no longer dread the
marrying of the enemy, and that Togo
holds the straits.

When Rojestvensky began to fgh
