MORE COTTON TO COME.
Quarter Million Bales in Sight, Ac-
cording to Director North's Report
Presented in the House.

4ISSSIlSu III tuS 1UuoGs
Speaker Cannon made public the
census bureau figures on unginned cot
ton Immediately after the house was
called to order Friday. The total
amount Of unginned cotton shown by
the report is 250,S84 bales, with 1,G4S
ginneries unheard from.
The publication was in accordance
with the Sims resolution passed by
the house requiring Director North Of
the census bureau to furnish to con-
gress all data on unginned cotton
of the crop of 1906, collected by Jan
uary 16.
An effort was made to have Speaker
Cannon order the report read in the
house, but he fatty refused to do this
saying the document must pass
through ordinary channels and an
nounced that he thought the figures
were transformation, rather than iu-
formation; that they were based on
partial returns and Of little value.
The report had not arrived at the
house when the speaker raped for
order. In response to inquiries from
the department of commerce and la
Dor and to how the report should be
handled, he replied that he would
turn it over to the journal clerk and
have it made public through the pub
lie document room in case it arrived
before the house went into committee
of the whole Otherwise he said it
must await until the house came out
Of a committee Of the whole, as he
did not purpose deviating in the least
from the ordinary procedure for the
purpose Of publishing figures of in
terest chiefly to spectators.
Oficials of the department of COM
merce and labor hurried the report to
the capitol, as they did not wish to
be responsible for delay, and it ar
rived in time to be placed in the
speakers charge before the house took
up the days work. Under orders from
the speaker, a clerk in the public
document room read the figures for
a large group of the house and news
paper men who were eagerly awaiting
the total in the report.
Southern members expressed much
dissatisfaction with the figures, and
said they were far from the truth.
Members from the northern mill dis
tricts were equally harsh in their
criticism of the totals and declared
the ginneries unheard from might
make a radical difference in the fig
pres.
The report caused considerable ex-
element in the cotton market in New
York. The market was very active
and irregular before the report
March sold at 1880, or points net
lower. The report was followed by
a sharp advance of 20 to "a points,
with March selling at 11.04. There
was heavy realizing.
The estimate was read on the New
Orleans cotton exchange at 1918
o'clock, after the report had been
sent by Director North to the speaker
Of the house. It showed that 250,884
bales were yet to be ginned, which
added to the amount ginned to that

ANXIOUS TO LIQUlDATE THE FINE.
five Hundred Striking Printers Voted VIII
Iingness TO freak Into Jail.

Five hundred members of the Typo
graphical Union No. 16 at Chicago
voted unanimously to go to jail. AS
they are on strike, they estimated
they might save the $1,000 fine as
sessed against the union by Judge
Holdom if they were permitted to
work out the amount in prison.
They were disappointed when their
attorney told them that if the fine was
upheld by the higher courts it woulo
have to be paid, and there was no
prospect of the debt being liquidated
by the strikers going to Jail.

REVOLUTION
STOPPED
THE LONGWORTH'S CUBAN
TRIP PREVENTED
TROUBLE.
RAMON MIRANDA, LEADER OF
A SMALL MALCONTENT
BAND, CAPTURED.
CONFESSES THE SCHEME WHICH
INVOLVES PROMINENT
CUBANS.
Fomentinq Civil War.

The recent visit to Cuba of Mr.. and
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth prevented
the kidnapping of Gen. FreyPe de An
drede, secretary of the government
and the Inauguration of revolution
in Cuba, according TO the confession
of Ramon Miranda, the negro leader
of band who attacked the quartet of
the rural guard in Guanabacoa, killing
four and wounding several OF the
guard.
Miranda surrendered to Lieut.. Pa
checo, of the local police, and made a
confession in which he purports TO
give the plan of the revolutionists. He
mentions the names of some promi-
nent anti-administTation men and if
the government is able TO secure any
verification of the confession it is not
improbable that important arrests Will
be made.
Miranda declares that the attack on
the Guanabacoa quartet was of a reyo-
lutionary character. and that he had
received assurance from the conspira-
tors that the attack would be the sig
nal for the starting of powerful revo-
lutionary movement in different parts
of the island under the leadership OF
of liberation. He declares that the
kidnapping of Gen. DeAndrede was a
part of the plot.
1t was intended, says Miranda, to
capture the secretary of the govern
ment during the latter's trip to his
plantation.
Thanks TO the arrival in Cuba Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth, Gen. De-
Andrede postponed his trip to his es-
tates, and the plans for his capture
were perforce abandoned. This SEEM
ed to paralyze the whole plan of the
revolution, and Miranda was left with
out the expected support.
The pursuit of himself and his band
of rural guard was so close that he
concluded TO give himself up rather
than risk capture in some lonesome
place, where as he remarked signifi-
cantly, he might be shot while at
tempting to escape.
The confessions of Miranda have Gre
ated something of a sensation amung
those who have heard them, and there
is a feeling of tense expectancy as
to what steps the government. will
take.

A MINE HORROR.

A mining catastrophe of incalculable
horror and magnitude has stricken the
great coal center of northern France.
An explosion of fire damp Saturday
morning carried death and destruction
throughout the network of coal mines
conferred at Courrieres, and fire fol
lowed the explosion, making rescue
difticult and almost impossible. The
intense excitement and confusion in
the vicinity prevented early estimates
of the exact loss of life, but late Satur-
day night the total number killed was
given as 1913.
The scene of the catastrophe is
the mountainous mining region near
Lens, in the department of Pas-de-Ca-
lais. Here are huddled small hamIets
of the mine workers who operate the
most productive coal mines in France.
The subterranean chambers form a
series Of tunnels. The explosion took
place shortly after 1875 men had de-
scended into the mine. There was d
deafening explosion which was follow
ed by the cages and mining apparatus
being hurled from the mouth of the
Courrieres mine. Men and horses
nearby outside the mine were either
stunned or killed. The roof OF the
mine Office was torn off.
