SCENE IN RApBOR OF ROuMANIA
Mutinous Crew Opened the Vessels
Seacooks Before Leaving, and Ship
Went to the Oceans Bottom.

.The Russian battleship Kniaz Potem-
u kline, which has been in the hands of a
Nmutinous crew, that terrorized the peo-
pie OF Odessa by demonstrations in that
harbor, and successfully standing of
the whole Russian fleet was reported
as being given up. This report was un-
founded, however, as is indicated by
the following dispatches:

Kusterji, Rcumania. By Cable.-The
announcement that the battleship
Kniaz Potemkine sailed with Rear Ad-
miral Krugers squadron turns out to
be incorrect.
Before leaving the kniaz Potemkine
the mut!nee-s opened the seacocks and
flooded her hold. She i, now lying at

claring that she had not mutinied, but
had been forced to follow the mutt

st. Petersburg, By Cable.-Rear-Ad-
miral Pisareffski reports to the Admi-
rally that the engine room of the
Kniaz Potemkine is full of water and
1T is presumed that the mutineers turn
ed on the seacocks before leaving her.
Negotiations between Russia and
Roumania on the question Of the sur
render of the Kniaz Potemkine are in
progress.
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff and NJ.
Rosseti-Solesco, the Roumanian Min
lister at st. Petersburg, held confer
ence on the subject, but no decision was
reached. Russia is disposed to insist
on the surrender of the men, not as
political prisoners, to which Roumania
would object, but as criminals guilty
of murder and theft. There were sew
sral hundred thousand rubles on board
the batleship, which the cIew divided
when they left the ship. The Rouma-
nian Government is somewhat embar-
rassed by the fact that it promised the
mutineers if they surrendered that they
. would be treated as deserters.

textile NEWS OF Interest
Cotton Mill Notes.

A Record man asked prominent cot
ton manufacturer if there were many
new cotton mills under way in North
Carolina at present He said there were
not and probably would be put few for
scme years to come. The trouble with
the cotton mill business is two-fold.
One trouble is the speculation in cotton,
which keeps the price in such an unset
tied condition that the manufacturer
can hardly tell what his goods cost him
and can maintain no standard of values
for them. and another reason is tnat
labor is getting so scarce in North
Carolina that the mills that are now
running are practically all short or
help. In England there is an aboun-
dance OF skilled cotton mill labor. why
cannot some effort be made to get some
OF it to this country where there is an
ever increasing demand for workers.?
The South is the natural centre OF the
cotton mill industry and should DE
more the actual one.-Greenscoro

They also exported twenty three mil
