 are. sending but little more than the equivalent of one yard of our cotton fabrics to every inhabitant of China;' if the consumption of cotton, cloth per head of the Chinese population was equal to that of the United States there would not be enough cotton. grown In the world to supply it.
 You, MT. President, have done your utmost to procure the boundless possi- bilities of this market for American commerce and industry by your stead fast and resolute adhesion to the policy of the open door of equality of com. mercial opportunity for all nations in the Far East. The question seems to be pertinent why cannot the exporters and manufacturers of the United States do the rest without further aid or CO., operation from their Government The answer Is to be found in the peculiar |conditions which surround the introduc- tion of foreign goods into the interior of China. It is the testimony of all who have studied the subject from actual observation, that China's trade possibilities are .immeasurahle; that foreign trade has merely scratched the surface of them, and that the great majority of Chinese are familiar with neither foreigners nor foreign pro- ducts"
 Attention was called to the repre- sentatives of the Blackburn (English) and Lyons (French) commissions on Chinese trade and, continuing, the ad- dress said
 Foreign Capitals InfIux.
 Among the circumstances that have tended to stimulate the recent demand for American cotton cloln in China, is unquestionably the influx of foreign capital, which Is being expended in the construction of railroads and the op- enings of mines. This influx Is bound to continue and to increase in volume and very large amount of credit for the result is due to the fact, that in response to the appeal of the govern ment of the United States, the nations of the world have agreed in the most unequivocal terms to respect the in- tegrity of the Chinese empire. While the menace of dismemberment hung over China, there could be neither commercial confidence within. nor faith in the security of investment from without. The establishment of both marks the opening of a new era in the history of China pregnant with momentous results for the commerce ok. the world, and, not least among the nations, for the commerce of the Uni- ted States
 That a careful study by competent men of the new conditions which mark the dawn of the new day in China would bring out facts of the highest value to the manufacturers and merchants of the United States and particularly to those engaged in the production and distribution of cotton fabrics does not admit of question. It is eight years since any we'll equipped commercial commission went through China and the reports of the Blackburn commission of Lancashire cotton spinners. and of the Lyons commission of the French silk manu- faeturers, remain the most authorita- tive guides we have tO the possihili- ties of trade with the great unexploits ed markets of the interior of the erns pfre

FOOTBALL INVESTIGATION,

entertained at luncheon to-day DR.. ID.

Owsiey of Yale. The six guests of the
president constitute the athletic ad-
Vlsers of the respective colleges named
The President desired to consider
with them principally the morale of
the game of football, with view Of
eliminating much of its brutality, if
possible. A general discussion of col
lege athletics was had, but the talk
centered around the game of football.
1t is hoped by the President that
with the cooperation of the athletic
committee the rules may be amended
SO as 10 do away with the roughness
of the play.
1t is understood that no definite CON
clusions were reached. Indeed, none
was expected, the idea of the Presi-
dent being to simply start the ball roll
ing with an idea to modify rules.

When asked if it was any benefit to
the policy holders to increase the pres

ELEVEN MORE iMMoRTALs.
Eight Men and Three Women Elected
to Hall of Fame.

New Iork-The votes in the second
election for the Hall of Fame were can
Vassed Monday. Only three names
were chosen to receive tablets in the
five classes in which canvassing was
completed, those of John Greenleaf
Whittier and James Russell Lowell in
the class of authors and that of Gen
eral William T. Sherman in the class
of soldiers. The elections will con
tinue.
Those names which failed of election
to the Hall of Fame, having received
less than tifty-one votes. We're:
Oliver Wendell Holmes and James
Fennimore Cooper, forty-eight votes
each; William Cullen Bryant, John n.
Motley and Francis Parkman, forty
six votes each; Edgar Allen Poe, forty
three; George Bancroft, thirty-nine;
Horace Greeley, thirty-four; Noah
Webster, thirty-two; William H. Pres
colt, twenty-five: William Lloyd Gar
rison, twenty.
Teachers: Mark Hopkins. thirty
eight; Matthew Simpson, twenty-nine
The Hall of Fame was opened at
University Heights five years ago, at
which time twenty-nine tablets were
unveiled, dedicated to the following
names:
Emerson, Longfellow, Irving, Haw-
thorne, Edwards, Horace Mann,
Beecher, Claiming, Fulton, Morse,
Whitney, Audubon, Gray, Grant, Far
raSut, Lee, Washington, Lincoln, Web
ster, Franklin, jefferson, Clay, John
Adams, Marshall, Kent, Storey Pea
body, Stuart and Peter Cooper.
Three women and five men were
chosen TnaS1aN thn low tn
receive tablets in the Hall of Fame at
New York University when the can
vass of the votes in the second quin-
quinnial election was completed.
Maria Mitchell was the only Ameri-
can scientist to be elected at this time
Though Louis Agassiz secured admis-
sion as foreign-born American.
A curious commentary on Maria
Mitchell's election is the fact that
eight of the electors, chiefly scientists
refused to vote for any woman, thus
reducing the number of votes neces-
sary to elect a woman to forty-seven
while fifty-one were required for
man.
Mary Lyon, founder of Mount Hol-
yoke College, and Emma Willard, the
author of Rocked in the Cradle OF the
Deep" and a famous educator, were the
other women honored.
Alexander Hamilton, with eighty
seven votes, the highest number re-
ceived by any candidate at this cleo
tion, and John Paul Jones, with fifty
three, share with Agassiz the honors
of being the first American immortals
of foreign birth.
Two American statesmen were
chosen-John Quincy Adams, whose
tablet will occupy niche next to that
of his father, John Adams, he having
received fifty-eight votes, and James
Madison, who secured admission with
fifty-six votes.
Patrick Henry, John c. Calhoun and
Andrew Jackson fell a half dozen
votes short of securing bronze tablets
to record their fame, and Samuel
Adams was again defeated. James
Monroe's votes numbered only twenty
tree; Seward, Sumner, Dewitt Clinton,
Garfield, John Jay and Stanton were
among the statesmen who failed to be
elected.

CANON CITY PROJECT.
Plan for Electric Line to Cripple Creek
District

/ Denver-A Canon City dispatch
<ays: A special meeting of the Canon
City Merchants Association was held
last night to hear the report of com
mittee appointed by that body last
month to collect data in relation to the
cost of an electric line from this city
to the Cripple Creek district. The re-
port was predicated upon the result of
the survey by City Engineer Charles
Milton and was unanimously adopted.
In view of the concurrence of the as
sociation in the matter, steps were
taken this morning to organize com
pany for the construction of the pro-
posed line to Victor, twenty-eight
miles. which it is estimated can be
built for $25O,OOO. 1t is computed by
competent engineers that trolley car
will make the twenty-eight miles as
quickly as it would make twenty-four
miles on line having a six-mile
stretch of six per cent. maximum
grade.
From a scenic STANDPOINT the road
would be one of the most magnificent
in the West. At one point on the route
pHbeosed for 120 miles to the north
/est one can see the Mosquito range
and for 14O miles to the south, the
Sangre de Cristo range is in plain
view. 1t is estimated that tourist
travel alone would pay $25, 900 a year.
An old grade covering part of the dis
tance could be purchased at a nominal
cost. 1t is believed the company
would derive paying revenue by car.
