SQUARE DEAL FOR
 COTTON SHIPPERS
Discrimination Made for New
 England Mills
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
Report From Bureau of Manufactures Shows That Railroads Are Doinu Better In Getting Southern
 Cotton to Markets.

Washington, August S.-(Special)- In view of the railroad rate agitation throughout the south the report just made to the bureau of manufacturing upon the far eastern trade by Special Agent William Whittam, Jr., is of par ticular interest. This report states as fact what probably will be news to the great majority of the people-that between TO and 80 per cent of the cot ton fabrics sent to China from this country is manufactured by southern mills, the remaining portion being the product of the spindles of New Eng land.
 Discussing the railroad side of this question Mir. Whittam explains that he found much dissatisfaction in the mill interests of the south at the difference of the prevailing rates on cotton goods between New England and southern points and Shanghai. They now stand from New Engalnd to Shanghai over the Pacific route at S5 cents per hun dred pounds, from southern points to the same destination by the same route $1.25 per hundred pounds. In view of the advance in the south ern rate last year from $1. 10 to the present charge, 1t is contended by the southern man ufacturers that they are being forced to pay an unreasonably high price for transportation.

TURKS MUST OBEY ORDERS.
Measures Are Taken for the Safety
 of American Citizens In Turkey.

Washington, August S.-At the in- stance of American friends of the mis- sionaries in Persia and particularly of the teachers of the American School for Girls at Urumiah, the state department has requested Ambassa- dor Leishman at Constantinople to make inquiry as to their safety.
 Today a cablegram was received from the ambassador stating that he had been assured by the Sublime Porte that all possible measures would be taken to safeguard American in- terests in the territory in dispute be- tween Turkey and Persia. and orders to that effect had been telegraphed to the Turkish military commanders.
 MT. Leishman says the Turks have been given strict orders to confine themselves to their own side of the line and keep out of Persia.
