Has Greater Valuation Than Ames''

The worlds production Of raw SILK
amounts to more than 61,0OO,OOo
pounds annually, with greater aggre'
gate value than the American cottoR
crop, writes John L. Cowau 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 production as yet too
small to figure in trade reports and sta
tistics, 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 tho
United States, distributing 100000
every year in wages, giving employ
ment to 10000 persons, and producing
goods valued at s110.O00.000.

SYMPATHY ON THE WRONG SIDE
DURING A RECENT WAR, WAS
MccoRMlCKS UNDONG.
Russia Brought Forth
Reprimand BY Hay.

New York, Jan. ia Washington
dispatch says:
Robert s. Mccormick, the American
ambassador at Paris, who will retire
from the American diplomatic service
within two months, will retire because
his conduct at st. Petersburg during
the Russian-Japanese war met with
the the disapproval Of President
Roosevelt. and not because Of his &C
tivities In marrying Miss Patterson,
his niece, to q Polish nobleman. Miss
Patterson Is the daughter Of the own
or Of one Of the leading publications
Of Chicago, and her marriage to Count
Gyzitski was approved by her parents.
This wedding was one OF the so
cial events of Washington about
three years ago. and the ceremony
was attended by Ambassador and Mrs.
Mccormick. This marriage had moth.
ing to do with the coming retirement
of Ambassador Mccormick.
While stationed at st. Petersburg
Ambassador Mccormick espoused the
cause OF Russia in its war with Japan.
during hostilities Mr.. Mccormick was
granted leave of absence and he re-
turned to the United States. Upon
landing at New York he found the
sympathy of the country was with ia
pan. This displeased Ambassador Nc
Cormick and in an interview, which
was published throu ghout the country.
he reprmanded the American people,
who, he declared, were ungrateful in
sympathizing with Japan, as Russia
was the friend of the United States
and had threatened to send fleet OF
warships to the assistance OF the Unit
ed States during the civil war when
Great Britain was preparing to assist
the confederacy. This interview was
heartily disapproved by President
Roosevelt, who strongly favored the
instant dismissal Of Ambassador Nc
Cormick. The president was induced
to allow Mr., Mccormick to remain In
the diplomatic service. but he was
transferred from st. Petersburg to
Paris without being consulted.
This action was taken after Secre-
tary Hay. then secretary Of state. had
Ambassador Mccormick. to
the department and administered q
severe reprimand. At the conclusions
Of the interview Secretary Hay agreed
to allow Ambassador Mccormick to re.
main in the diplomatic service for one
year This time limit was extended
one year. and now q successor has been
chosen for the American ambassador
at Paris. Henry White. the American
at Rome, has been selec-
ed to succeed Mr.. Mccormick, who vii
retire when Postmaster-General Cortel
YOU becomes secretary Of the treasury.
This change will occur in March, and
thus number of changes will take
place in the diplomatic corps, although
no successor has been chosen to I'll
the vacancy of Ambassador Meyer, who
will become postmaster general.
