Lafayette and
John Pad Jones


An old timer of tenacious memory, who
finds 1t easy TO recall Lafayettes visit to
Washington eighty years ago, tells an in
teresting story concerning the first meeting
of the marquis and one of the most re-
nowned of American characters. Lafayette
himself related the circumstances while on
his celebrated farewell tour of the country
he helped to save. His vessel had landed at
Charleston, S. c., during the revolution and
accompanied by a number of other patri-
otto foreign adventures who had come to
participate in the struggle had arrived at
Alexandria, en- route to Philadelphia, where
the Continental Congress was In session.
The party assembled in the ancient city
at a prominent hotel. They there met many
prominent Alexandra and Georgetown men
of the period. There was something of a
confusion of tongues between the new
corners and the residents, as Lafayette,
Baron De Kalb and their colleagues did not
know one anothers languages. Few among
them knew English, as there were members
Of Lafayette's party from France, Germany,
Poland and perhaps some other countries.
1t is said that De Kalb encountered the
most difficulty in conversng with the Amer
leans, for whose cause he afterward hero
iCally fell In battle.
AS the story was told by the marquis-gen-
eral, after a time a certain quiet, hand
somely dressed and striking-looking young
man of less than thirty stepped up to the
party and offered his services. He APP
peared," says the relator. ito know all Ian
guages. certainly all those spoken in the
party, and Immediately put all at their ease,
to the general relief"
Lafayette became much attached to the
young man and remained the latter's stanch
friend throughout life. The man was John
Paul Jones' who had come down from Phil
adelphia on his way TO his estates on the
Rappahannock. He Cancelled his trip to
Virginia, and by invitation of Lafayette
went on to Philadelphia with the distin-
guished foreigners. There Lafayette ear
nestly and effectively assisted Jones in pro-
noting the daring desire of his heart which
was to be dispatched with two or three YES
sells at least with one, to the English coast.
Afterward in France Lafayette was ever a
sterling advocate of the intrepid American,
all through the revolution and his service in
the Russian navy, down to the dark days
of the dawn OF the French revolution, dur
ing which the admiral died.

gagements for the next three or four
months.
With possibly few exceptions, cotton
splnners do not need to enter the cotton
market before the cotton crop arrives
at the end of October. What we propose
to do, therefore. Is simply to keep out of
II and let the cotton spectators deal as
best they can with the situation they have
created. If some of them come to grief we
shall shed no tears. 1t isn't going to be our
funeral this time.
misleading figures as to the extent of
the new crop have been circulated in the
interests of the spectators. When &C
curate figures come in we shall consider
the situation and take whatever steps may
be necessary to meet 1t, should the supply
prove less than the demand. We are de-
termined that spectators shall not control
the market. AS for the American cotton
growers. we have none but the best feel
ing for them. We wish them to get a fair
price for their raw material and are will
ing to pay it. Even If the most sanguine
expectations of those engaged in the move
mentj for supplying British spindles with
cotton grown within the British empire are
realized, 1t must be long years before we
are Independent of the American supply"

the city has been allowed to run to seed on
two sides of the White Lot. 1t is a
striking instance in the acquiesence to the
things that are" that the home of the
President. set in beautiful grounds Of It's
| own, should be fanked on the east and
west by unattractive buildings and grounds.
Possibly II Henry George could come back
and see 1t he would be able to build upon
1t another strong argument against the
private ownership of land.
The front of the White House is all that
is desirable. Pennsylvania avenue In the
stretch between 18th and 18th streets Is a
very beautiful thoroughfare. From the
back door of the White House to the foot
of the monument there is a stretch of beau
tiful government ground all the yay. East
OF the White House the patch of alleged
disreputable houses appears a blot on
the landscape to the observer from the top
of the great white shaft.
Take the map of the city on the west
as 1t is spread out at ones feet from the
top Of the monument, and it is surprising
how much apparently desirable land, al
most in the heart of the city, is still vacant
From the west windows of the monument
one sees the government fish ponds spread
out close at hand Seventeenth street runs
down past the State, War and Navy De-
partment and ends in the 18th street sewer,
bordeIed with trees on each SIDE and
pretty enough to look at from distance
but offense to the nostrils Of any one
who is compelled to go along it's banks
West Of the sewer outlet there Is great
park. or. rather, what will be a park in the
course of time, bounded on the north by
Virginia avenue, that now runs straight
from the monument to the old naval OBJ
servatory, which is now the naval museum
of hygiene. All south of the avenue will,
as the city develops. be turned into a pub
lie park, and will make a beautiful outing
place.
North Of the avenue so 1t appears from
| the monument. there is great vacant
space till one cormes to F and streets.
All this probably in the course of time
will be built up with fine residences. But
at present 1t is given over to bushes and
hillocks. small shanties and dwellings.
This state of things continues almost to

while American cotton, roughly speak

I'VE hold that there is nothing more i'm
portant for this great, worldwide cotton
industry than to rid it of the curse of
gambling in it's raw material Every penny
per pound that is added to the cost of the
raw material by this process represents an
advance of many millions of pounds sterl-
ing IN the cost of the worlds supply Last
year the cotton crop was raised by this
means-l speak of average prces-from
four pence pound. which would have been
a fair price, to seven pence a pound. In
Anne rican money that means rise in price
from eight cents 20 fourteen cents a pound
l have calculated that ii resulted in taking
out of the industry fiW.oNj, 0D0-roughly
speaking, S5tO.oO.OUl in your money.
In the main the gamblers alone have
profited by il, and manufacturers. opera
tives and consumers have suffered by it.
The repetition of this sort of thing will
demoralize the whole industry, inf1ct in
calculable loss and suffering and involve
thousands In ruin. Now that we perceive
and have already succeeded in greatly in
creasing the price of raw material we are
determined to exercise every means in our
power to put a stop 10 their methods. We
confidently anticipate that public sentiment
in America will support US.
American cotton manufacturers have
the same interest in getting the raw ma
terial at a fair price that we have, and
so have the consumers. OF course the
question Is a more vital one in England
gagged in the industry because it is a vastly
bigger one here. While they manufacture
chiefly for their own populations we send
our goods to millions in China and India
the poorest people in the world. When
prices go up they can no longer afford TO
buy. But the continental manufacturers are
in hearty accord with us. The bond of self
interest unites us.

Representing not only Great Britain. but

Master Cotton Spinners and Manufactu-
rers' Associations have declared war
against the American gamblers in cotton
That is the meaning of the agreement
reached at the emergency meeting or the
association, held yesterday, at which 1t
was decided to strongly urge every cotton
spinner in Europe and America to refrain
from buying American cotton during the
next three months. except for immediate
wants" 1t is recognized here as the most
important step ever taken by the repre-
sentatives of the great cotton Industry to
prevent an artificial initiation of the price
OF the raw material, such as caused wide
spread suffering and loss when the great

While the statement which was given out
for publication at the conclusion of the
meeting has already been cabled to Amer
lea, an interview with w. c. NIAGARA, presf-
dent of the association, who presided at
the gathering, throws an Illuminating
light on the objects aimed at and the
means by which 1t is sought to attain
them.

NEWS OF FOCk'S DEATH.
This is the First Received From a
Russian Source.

Mukden, Jan. VIA Pekin, Jan. I.
the news of Port Arthur
capitalization was first generally known
here today, il was surmised by the
Russian army January from the
cheering heard in the Japanese camp
along the entire line when cries OF
''banzai'' were distinctly heard. The
news created no surprise because the
army had become accustomed TO the
possibility of Port Arthur's fall from
before the battle of Lao Yang ana
since. Although the deaths of Gen
erals Fock and Kondratenko were not
published here the facts regarding
Fock had been accepted for six weeks
and the condition of Port Arthur was
known throughout While it is inn
possible to telegraph the tenor of opin-
ion. yet it is evident that greater events
must transpir before the end of the
war is apparent
There was an unusual cannonading
yesterday along the center. 1t was
continued in moderate form today.
The above dispatch contains the
first definite announcement from Rus
sian sources of the death of Lieutenant
General Fock, commander of the
Fourth East Siberian division and of
the Russian left wing at Port Arthur.
