SILK PRODUCTION OVERCOME.
Indications That the Output Exceeds
the Demand.

New York, June 11.-FoT some time
there has been n steady Increase in the
silk-makinG industry of this country.
Millions of dollars have been spent in
new mills. new machinery and new ma
terial. On all sides factories big and
little have been springing up and a
veritaDle boom in the industry was evil
dent. That this boom was to be fol-
lowed by a reaction was certain ana
nov that there is some pressure being
exerted in the raw silk market, the
smaller concerns which have been able
to produce a few pieces a day and sell
them readily are beginning to feel pam
icky. The result is that goods are go
ing on the market at cut prices and the
evils of overproduction are threatening.
The increase in plants has been pushed
too fast and the effect is being. felt.
The prospect for fall business has
been bright for the reputable mills
Some have very large orders booked
and while they are in a measure very
well fixed to meet a reaction. ii is un-
leniable that the trade must feel the
elects of the over -exertion of a few.
Retailers are now showing a desire ia
feeling the depression.
To offset the evils of the situation it
is urged that production should be re-
-tri led Until the next season opens, al
lowing the market to recuperate and
got rid of the dumped-On stocks. The
structure then would be satisfactory
the orders being received for the fall
are promising: the general manufac-
turing trade is favorable to a liberal
use Of silk and there need be no ankle
ty If >alIe counsel have weight
The silk markets abroad show small
charge. the new Japanese crop will
probably he over 100000 bales, and OF
better quality than last year. The
damage to it's leaves by frost has been
slight. In Europe the reports are more
favorable. and in spite of the long
rains it is expected the worms will
come out all right. In Milan new CO.
coons are sold at an advance and sell
ers are not anxious to dispose of theiI
stocks. so the general tendency is up
wards. In China there is some irregu-
llrity and disposition to sell.

THE PRESIDENT
Much Pleased Over Success So Far OF
His Peace Negotiations.

Washington, June 11.-After a two
days sojourn with Mrs. Roosevelt at
the picturesque little woodland home
recently purchased by her near Char
.ottesville, Va, the President returned
to Washington. tonight. Accompanied
by Mrs Roosevelt, he arrived at the
Pennsylvania station. at $50 o'clock,
via the Southern Railway. He and
Mrs. Roosevelt entered their carriage,
which was in waiting and were driven
directly to the White House.
AS they entered the house they We're
greeted cordially by Sec. Taft and Sec.
Loeb, who were waiting their arrival.
After a discussion of developments
sine. the Presidents departure. Friday,
Secretary Loeb authorized the an
nOuncemcnt that nothing concerning
peace negotiations in the Far East
would be made public. tonight. 1t is
not possible. at this time, to indicate
when the formal replies from Russia
and Japan, to the Presidents identical
notes, will be given to the public. 1t is
possible it may be. tomorrow. and it
may not be for several days. The Stu
alton is quite satisfactory to the Presi-
dent and assurances are given th"t t."
Withholding of the notes Is not due to
any hitch in the negotiations.
Before the responses of the Russian
and japanese governments are pub
lished here, they will be transmitted
formally by the Presidept-the Japan
ese to the st. Petersburg government,
and the Russian note to the govern
ment at Toxic. Officially informed that
the response tc the Presidents appeal
is favorable, it will remain for the Rus
sian and Japanese governments to ef-
feet an arrangement for temporary
armistice pending a direct discussion
of terms for permanent peace.
Information received here, both in
governmental and diplomatic quarters,
indicate that Japan will suggest where
the first meeting of the representatives
of the belligerent powers will take place
and that Russia will accede to that
suggestion.
At the preliminary meeting it is the
understanding that Japan will indicate
the terms on which the Emperor would
be willing to conclude Il permanent
peace. The terms then will he trans
mitted directly to the Russian govern
ment; the question Of thei' acceptance
or rejection then lying with the Rus
sian Emperor. La:cr, at Il meeting OF
plenipotentiaries Of the two powers,
the details of I treaty of peace will be
considered.
This formal peace conference. the
probabilities now are, will be held in
Washington.

Nothing will more speedily or perma-

from the active medicinal principles ex-
tracted from native medicinal plants,
without the use of alcohol, not a drop OF

due to alcoholic exhiliration, and conse-
quently of short duration, but is endur-

The great majority Of diseases have
their inception in bad stomach. indi-

Among these diseases are deadly con-

CALICO PRINTERS WAR.
Price Cutting Bids Fair to Demora''ze
Trade.

Fall River. June 11.-For six months
tbera has heen the keenest kind OF
co,npetition between the calico printers
of the country for only an aEefaSe
amount of trade. Manufacturers pe-
licve this competition to be the primary
cause of the demoralized condition OF
prices for narrow goods made from
print cloth warns.
The object of the battle that is going
on is said to be the forcing of NJ. {. ID.
Borden into some sort Of an agreement
with other printers as to prices ana
discounts. He controls the output of
the American Printing Company. mar
keted through Bliss, Fabyan & Co, of
/, New York, and in normal seasons he
draws a full supply of gray cloth from
the Iron Works Mills, which he owns
and controls He has managed his
business in his own way for many
years past, without regard to trade
agreements or competitors business,
and for many years the printers and
users of calicos have waited for his
prices before sending out their semi
annual circulars. His prices were sert
out as usual last fall, and fair
amount of business was done. 1t is
stated that ore printer was disappoint-
ed in the amount of orders and he made
a personal tour among Western buyers.
In that tour prices were cut right and
left.
Then followed such a cutting as the
printed goods trade has not known in
years, with the result that buyers could
secure calicoes at their own figures
The American has Steadfastly kept to
its course, and while other goods have
been advanced in price calicoes have
been sold at figures that net no profit
to the producer of gray goods and very
little, If any, profit to the printer. The
factor who produces his own gray
goods and is not dependent on the gen.
cral manufacturer is able to make a
profit, but the printer dependent on the
market is forced to pay full figures and
must depend on bis print works for any
profit
The print works that are engaged in
the competition, principally, are the
Merrimac, American, Algonquin, Pas
| sale, Allen, and some smaller works.
The American has thirty printing ma
chimes, all the others combined, about
! fifty.
While manufacturers are powerless
to prevent the cutting of prices, which
| is grinding them, most of them in this
| city, who are familiar with the methods
of Mr.. Borden, believe he will tire out
| the others. For the classes of goods he
produces, they believe he has the most
economical forms of production known
| to the trade, and is constantly develop
| ing and extending them. But before
| the war is over. manufacturers fear
| that the decentralization will reach a
stage where no Independent mill can
afford to make printing cloths, unless
1t has a working agreement with a
print works.
No one here has any thought that Mr..
Borden will surrender any of his ideas
| of doing an independent business, and
| they say it is simply suicide for other
printers to expect to compel him to
| adopt any policy not of his own
choosing.

Roofing up the foundation Of an old
building in the hamlet of GOurgom. near
Meude, has brought to light the buried
ruins of n great city of Roman Gaul, of
which all vestiges had perishcd. This was
the city of Eeyrune known to have been
in existence in the third century of our
era, and believed to have been over
wholmcd by some great catastraphe. The
very site was unknown. A detail of some
interest connected with the discovery is
that the buried ruins are almost under
the spot where Du Guesclin died. There
has been found among them IL fine silver
