China from 251 thousand dollars in 1888
to 16 million dollars in 1903, suggests
the possibilities which await the cotton
manufacturers of the United States
when they may choose to turn the cot
ton produced in this country into the
finished state before permitting it to
pass to the cotton consumers Of the
world
This industry. which has recently
sprung up in Japan, Of buying Ameri-
can cotton, turning it into the manu-
featured state, and selling it to other
countries is, of course, merely repro
ductiOn of a process which has been go
ing on for many years in the older man
ufacturing countries of Europe.
The fact that yarns form much
larger proportion of Japans exports of
cotton manufactures than is the case
with those of European countries is ap-
parentIy due in part to the fact that
her manufacturing establishments have
not yet reached that stage of perfec-
ton in the production of finished goods
which the older countries of Europe
have attained; and in part, also, to the
fact that the people of her largest Gus
toner. China. utilize yarns largely in
the household manufactures of cotton
cloths for domestic use, especially in
years of high prices of finished goods
Figures recently compiled by the
bureau of statistics show that the
worlds expectation Of cotton manufac-
lures amounts to about 653 million dol
lars annually. OF which 400 millions
goes in the form of cloths, 1872 millions
as miscellaneous finished goods, and 1O1
millions cotton yarns. OF the 65S mil
lion dollars worth of cotton goods thus
exported by the various countries of
the world for which statistics are avail
able, the United States, although pro-
ducing three-fourths of the worlds raw
cotton, exported in 1904 but 221k million
dollars worth of cotton manufactures.
In the same year. 1904 her important
of cotton goods were 1919 million dol
lars in value, or more than twice as
great as the exports of cotton goods in
the same period

RICH FIELD FOR ENTERPRTsF.

Some figures just supplied to a mem
her of congress by the department of
commerce and labor. through it's bureau
Of statistics. suggest the possibilities
which await the cotton manufacturers
of the United States when they may
find time to enter seriously upon the
task of turning into the manufactured
state of cotton produced in this coun-
try and now supplied in the natural
state to the manufacturers of other
countries.
The figures show merely the exporta-
ton of cotton manufactures from Japan
to China during a term of years. but
as Japan draws largely from the United
States the raw cotton with which it
produces the manufactures the sug-
gestion which they offer is naturally an
interesting one to US. These figures of
exports Of cotton manufactures from
Japan to China show that the total
value Of cotton yarns exported from
Japan to China in 1898 was $29. $50. and
IN 1908 S14,112,50 and of other cotton
manufactures in 1898 1921, 7S3, and in
1903 s.. 013. 547. making the total of cot
ton yarns and finished cotton manu-
features sent from Japan to China in
1893 s251. 363. Aand in 1908 SIS. 126,O54.
Meantime the quantity Of raw cotton
exported from the United States to
Japan has grown from 79s, 942 pounds
IN 1893 to 161. 6OI, 219 pounds in 1890. the
value being in 1898 SOS. 42S, and in 1900
$12.712.619. The quantity and value in
1903 were somewhat reduced by reason
of the very high price OF American cot
tons and the fact that Japan in years
OF high prices in America turns for a
part OF her cotton supply to India, where
she finds a shorter staple and there
fore lower prices. The general fact,
however, that Japan increased her pur-
chase OF our raw cotton from IS thou

HAZEN IS SECURED.
VIII Help to UntangIe the Water
works Title.

Arrangements have been made with
Judge Hazen by the city council to act
in mediatOry capacity between the
two opinions handed down by the city
attorney and the special counsel Judge
Mcfarland, with regard to the title OF
the waterWOrkS property. The two at
tOrneys engaged on a report of the IL
tie to the property differed on two of the
legal points involved. The city council
at a session last week Tuesday went
over the report of the attorneys IN
some detail and agreed that minor de-
fectS in the title should not stand in
the way of a transfer of the plant to
the city. Following this stand on the
suggestion of one of the councilmen it
was decided that it would be best to
engage the services of third attorney
to pass upon the disputed points so that
the city council might feel assured IN
| following the advice of the city attor-
ney as against that of the city's spec
ial counsel, ]. d. Mcfarland. The name
of Judge Hazen was suggested and he
has since then been engaged and is now
going over the report upon the title
His opinion upon the defects of the I'll
tie will be available within a short
time.
President Street of the Topeka Water
company arrived in the city yesterday
and says that he is engaged in clearing
up some of the minor defects which the
attorneys reported upon with reference
to the title. He expects that some de-
gree of success will attend his efforts
He is making efforts to locate the pat
ent for the old island which is describ-
ed as being located in the center of the
river opposite to the old pumping plant
at the foot of Harrison street and is
described in the deeds of the Topeka
Water company as a portion of its pro-
perty. The island however has been
Inundated and represents only a sand
bar during low water. Other features
of a minor nature with regard to the
title are being Strengthened out. 1t is
probable that a session of the council
win be called soon to go over the stu
alton.

Another popular belief has been
shattered. The saying: t'You can
fool all the people some of the time
and some of the people all of the
time. but not all the people all of the
time" is popularity credited to Abra-
ham Lincoln. Secretary Hay. who
was associated with John Nicolay in
the most exhaustive examination of
Mr.. Lincoln's papers when they were
preparing his biography, says he new
er found the sentence. and Mr.. Nico-
lay told Mr.. SpOfford. of the Congress
sional library. that it was spurious.
Mr.. Spofford says the sentence does
not occur in any of Mr.. Lincolns writ
ings. and he believes that the remark
originated with the late P. T. Barnum.
