Egypt. At the pre- sent time good In
dia cotton Is 357 cents cheaper per
pound than good American, and Amer
lean cotton cheaper by the same
amount than that grown in Egypt.
Under the auspices of the British Cot
ton Growing association, cotton to the
amount of $1.OOO,00O was grown last
year: 10000 bales came from one dis
trict in Africa and 1t is said that the
report for the present year will show
exceptionally large cotton areas in all
places under dominion of British in
fiuence. One hundred and thirty-five
years ago. the West Indies supplied
America at the same time supplied but
13 bags. and II is the idea of the Brit
ish Cotton Growing association to raise
in time enough of the product at home
and in their own colonies so that they
will be independent of the American
supply. Throughout the British colo
nies larger areas are being planted in
cotton year by year with the ultimate
idea in view of raising enough at home
for their own consumption.
- Pursuant to a recent act of con-

Panama canal bonds. Congress has
authorized the issuance of $4,000. 900
of per cent bonds and the expendi-
ture of $3O,OOO,O0O in cash. The
bonds are to be issued as needed. The
canal commission recently asked for
$16,000,000. Congress decided that the
work would probably not suffer from a
smaller appropriation and fixed the
sum at $11,OO0,OOO. to be followed by
another emergency appropriation be-

understood that the first $11.O0O.0OO is

he rules that a plea of guilty can be

The striking job printers have been
out now just four weeks and the ranks
still remain unbroken, save for the
fact that many OF them have obtained
situations elsewhere at the wages and
hours they are contending for in Du-
luth. It is a remarkable thing that
! all over the country where the strike is
on that with one or two exceptions no
assertions have taken place. One
instance in st. Paul, over which the
Typothetae. are making much. shows
very clearly the class of men they are
recruiting. A man named McCarthy-a
man we'll up in the SOS who at one
time was secretary treasurer Of the st.

found-after an audit had been made
TO be behind between $500 and $500
and who appealed to the mercy OF the
union not to prosecute him. which was
granted. and he was allowed to pay

full amount was ever paid, deliberately

supposed to be dying of consumption.

ENGI.AND'S WAR
DOGS GREETED
AT ANNAPOLIS

/. ANNAPOLIS, Md Nov. 1-Greeted
by the commander-i in chief of the
North Atlantic fleet, the superinten-
dent of the naval academy and the
governor Of Maryland, his serene high
ness, Rear Admiral Prince Louis OF
Battenberg. and the armored cruiser
squadron under his command on the
day Of their arrival in Chesapeake bay
have been made to know and feel that
they are heartily welcomed to Ameri-
can waters and American soil.
Twenty-one guns from the Drake
announced the approach of Prince
Louis squadron this morning shortly
after 9 o'clock.
immediately ahead stretched out
across Chesapeake bay to welcome him
was the strong right arm Of the Amer
lean navy, the eight battleships Of the
first and second divisions of the North
Atlantic fleet anchored In single col
umn some 200 yards apart, the Maine
at the head Of the column.
The reception Of Prince Louis or
board the Maine was made cordial by
the very graceful and courteous words
of Admiral Evans which were accom-
panied by q hearty handshake. As
Prince Louis went over the side short
ly afterward, he was saluted a. second
time with thirteen guns.
When Prince Louis returned to the
Drake, he received the aide Of Rear Ad-
miral Sands. the superintendent Of the
naval academy, and Capt. Rohan, nav
al attache Of the British embassy al
Washington. After the first official
exchanges, the visit to Gov. Warfield
was comfortably informal.
At 1870 this afternoon the prince on
board the Drake received tho return
call of Admiral T~'ans. Later in the
afternoon, Gov. Warfield and the com
manding officers Of the American yes
sells called on board the; Drake.
Annapolis this evening is alive with
British and American ~ofhcers, and at
the officers club are occurring many
reunions.
