WORLDS PRODUCTION OF SILK.

Has a Greater Valuation Than Ameri.
can Cotton Crop.
The worlds production Of raw silk
amounts to more than 6~1,00O,00O
pounds annually, with a greater aggre-
gate value than the American cotton
crop, writes John L. Cowan in Techni-
cal World Magazine for August. OF
this amount, China produces more
than one-half, followed by Japan with
a production Of somewhat less than
one-fourth the total, while the remain
der is secured from India, France,
Spain, Portugal, the Balkan states, and
other countries. China also is the
greatest consumer; while the United
States, with a production as yet too
small to figure in trade reports and sta
t~istics, ranks second.
However, If our standing as a nation
in the production of silk affords moth
ing to crafty our prices, it is other
wise on the manufacturing side. There
are now about fifty silk mills in the
United States, distributing $21, 000, 900
every year in wages, giving employ
ment to 10000 persons, and producing
goods valued at 100000.

GRAND ARMY
DODGES QUESTIONS
Of Canteen Adjustment and Erection
Of Henry Wirz Monumental
Peace Offering.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 1.-THE
chances are growing less that the
encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic will take any action on eth
er of the questions Of the abolishment
of the canteen from the Old Sol
diers' Home, or the proposed erec-
ton of a monument to Henry Wirz.
The committee on resolutions was in
session last night but did not pre-
pare any statement on either ques-
ton. In convention the ladies of the
auxiliary to the Grand Army, the pro-
ject to purchase the Mclean house at
Appomattox where General Lee sur.
rendered to General Grant and to
present it to the government as a
peace memorial was unanimously en-.
dorsed.
Saratoga was selected for the en-
campment of 1907 by a deciding ma.
jority over Cincinnati, its only com.
petltor.
The G. A. R. encampment today
passed a resolution providing that its
Commander in Chief communicate
with General S. D. Lee, the command
er of the Southern Veteran Associa-
tion and express the hope that the
erection of the monument of Henry
Wirz. near Andersonville prison not
to be attempted. The question of
deprecating the passage of Congress
of law abolishing the canteen in
the old soldiers home was tabled

so upon request on account Oh the
matter having been brought up. OF
course, 1t is natural to expect THAT
the business of the penitentiary will
continue to grow and expand and no
loubt in the future greater and bet
ter showing will be made, as the beni-
tentiary naturally stands upon the
same footing as any other business,
which may be carried on in the COM
mercial world. The revenues grow as
methods become better established
and adapted for production and the
market for products keeps pace with
the general prosperity Of the coun-
try. During the past few years the
penitentiary was called upon to fur
nish a large amount of material, per-
haps million OF brick, or more free,
or at greatly reduced rates which rep
resented only the actual cost Of manu-
facture; this material for instance,
was used in the public school building
of Santa Fe, and on other public
buildings. This and similar incidents
reduced to some extent the revenues;
burt you will notice that the compari.
son of revenues between the old and
the new administration is not such as
to justify any serious comment. ]
sincerely hope and trust for the wei.
fare Of the penitentiary management
with which l had the honor to be con
nected for a number Of years."

ANOTHER BANK
CLOSES ITS DOORS
By Order of Examiner EWer--Exces-
sive Loans to officers and Direct
ors the Cause.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1.-THE
comptroller of currency has received
a telegram from National Bank Exam
liner Ever that the First National
Bank of Chelsea, Massachusetts, has
been closed by the action of the d.
rectors. Examiner Ever appointed a
receiver. The failure is reported to
be due to large excessive loans to off
GERS and directors Of the bank. A
statement of the resources and the
liabilities of the bank on June Is,
1906, shows the loans and discounts
to be $1,118,5S6; cash on hand $57,-
379; capital stock 100000 deposits
$679,729.
The business community OF Chel-
sea was surprised when it became
known that the First National Bank
of that city, one of the oldest finan-
cial institutions in this section of the
state, had been closed. Many small
tradesmen had practically all of their
ready money in the bank but 1T is ex-
pected that relief.will be afforded by
the Winnisimet National Bank OF
Chelsea, which has offered Ito pay the
deposltors of the First National Bank
fifty per cent on their accounts. 1t is
said that the difficulties at the bank
were brought about by the steady
transfer of the large accounts of the
Boston banks. 1t is learned also thai
the First National Bank was involved
in real estate to the extent of about
100000.

taken as acceptable. The govern
ment's case is prepared to the last
detail. The same witnesses who gave
evidence at Cleveland and before the

oyster Bay, Aug, ia message
from committee of citizens in Brown
vile, Texas, requesting that the negro
troops who committed the outrages
shooting one citizen there last Mon
day night be replaced by white troops
was received by President Roosevelt
today. He at once referred the dis
patch to the War Department with a
request that an immediate report on
the matter be made to him. He will

Citizens Aiming Themselves.
Houston, Texas, Aug. IA special
from Brownsville, Texas, says:
Further trouble is feared here with
the negro troops A citizens guard of
$50 men is stationed along the road
between this city and Fort Brown and
If the negroes attempt to leave the
garrison it is the avowed purpose Of
the citizens to shoot them down. Four
hundred rifles were sold to citizens
yesterday. The report that the Off
GERS of the negro troops are afraid
of them, has determined the citizens
to take no chances.
Many people are leaving their
homes on the side OF the city near
Fort Brown. An additional appeal is
being made to Governor Lanham to
send state troops. Business is nearly
suspended in the city.
1t is reported that the Texas Nation.
al Guard troops now attending the
maneuvers, at Camp Mabry, are clam
oring to be sent to Brownsville. Sen
sational rumors have inhamed the
militiamen and 1t is now believed that
the negro raiders committed the re-
cent acts in Brownsville in retaliation
for the reported intention of the Tex
as militiamen to use ball cartridges in
the event the United States permitted
the negro troops to participate in the
Camp Mabry maneuvers. Adjutant
General Hulin considers it unwise to
send state troops to Brownsville.

NEW RAILROAD
IS PROJECTED
Joseph Ramsey Would Build Shortest
Line Between Chicago and
New York.

New York, Aug. 17-Joseph Ram
sey, Jr, the former president of the
Wabash Railroad, arrived in this city
yesterday to consult with several
financial interests regarding his new
railroad enterprise, the New York,
Pittsburg and Chicago air line. He
declared $150,O00,O0O would pay for
the construction of a double track
between New York and Chicago, and
said:
Our proposed line is sixty-fiye miles
shorter than the Pennsylvania be-
tween Pittsburg and New York. Sur.
veys we have made to Chicago, give
us route one hundred miles shorter
than the Pennsylvania and Fort
Wayne, 160 miles shorter than the
New York Central and 1856 miles
shorter than the Erie. Our maximum
grades east bound are twenty feet per
mile through out the route while the
Pennsylvania grades up the western
slope are sixty feet mile.
''Mr. Ramsey, while admitting that
he had foreign financial backing, still
refuses ITO disclose the nature of the
backing or to disclose the names OF
his associates. The line, he believes,
will be constructed in three years.
