China Reselllng COTTON Goods.

New York Commercial.
In the market news IN the columns,
of The Commercial one day last week
was recorded a most unusual occur
renee. A Chinese business firm cabled
New York merchants from China offer
ing to sell American cotton goods, now
in China, and lay them down in this
port at a figure slightly under the pre-
Vailing quotation here, This singular
offer causes much speculation as to the
circumstances attending such a cond'-
ton. 1t astonishes the trade; but.
while the dealers here marvel they do
not doubt. Cotton was shipped to
China in large quantities when cotton
goods were much cheaper than they are
at present. These Sheetings, it appears
are still unsold in the hands of the
Chinese merchants. Once befoSe. dur
ing the Sully raw-cotton boom an
offer. almost similar to this. was made
from China. Contracts were then re-
sold in this market at a good profit
But the real point is, What is the mat
ter with the Chinese trade? SOMEBODY
is selling cotton sheetings there The
English and the Germans and the ia
panese are getting into the field. on
goods should not he lying in stock In
Chinese warehouses. There are some
who suspect that the boycott on Ameri-
can goods has not been entirely re
moved. Our relations with China should
be of such a nature that there would
be no discrimination. Are our Ameri-
can merchants in any way to blame?

Editor Union:
! arrived in Birmingham yesterday
noon on my return from New York.
BOSTON and the East. Later my atten-
ton was called to a garbled article in
The Montgomery Advertiser under date
of May 10. The article is credited TO
The Boston Post and purports to be
Joint report of speeches delivered IN
Boston by MIR. Manning and myself
The article is almost totally incorrect,
and would not be olthy of notice or
reply were it not for one statement
contained therein, as follows: There
are some bad black men where 1 came
from. but for every one 1 will find you
two white men who are worse" In
the arranging of this report The Ad-
Vertiser attributes these words to me-

.4lg uttered such a statement either in
Boston or anywhere else, but brand
this statement as wholly untrue. com
ing from any source whatever. The
statement itself is not only untrue. but
further l do not believe that there IS
a sane white man in the State of Ala
bama that would make or believe such
statement. l might add just here
that / did make both in Boston and
New York a number of speeches and
gave out several interviews. All or
my speeches were delivered to large
and intelligent audiences and speeches
and interviews published in the daily
papers. The Advertiser among its nu-
merous exchanges must have received
and must have had on It's files copies
of other Boston papers that did act
ually contain interviews and extracts
from my speeches. In these Inter
views and speeches l endeavored to
set out my views as Republican on
the questions of the day as regards
the interest of the masses of the peo-
pie. If The Advertiser had been dis
posed to be fair and had actually been
desirious of getting before the people
what l did actually say 1t would have
published reports from other Boston
papers and not selected out a garoled
up report which The Advertiser itself
must have known was untrue. The

CHORUS LEADER IS
COMING
CARLO SPERATI TO ARRIVE FROM
FRISCO AND PICK TRAINED SING
ERS-ELAB0RATE PRoGAM BEING
PEpARED.

President Nanthrup, Of the committee
in charge of the Norwegian Saengerfest
which viii be held in conjunction with
the Regatta and County Fair, is work
ing hard on the program in company
with the other members Of the commit
tee and reports some interesting features
for the annual gathering.
He has secured Madame Jennie No
reli, the noted solo singer; DR.. Eana
a famous pianist; Carl Vendt, noted
Hungarian violinist, and number OF
other big performers in various lines for
the program. At big expense these
talented people have been securd for
sveral numbers on the musical program,
along with the many trained singers OF
the Saengerfest of the northwest.
Carlo A. Sperati, the director Of the
singers in the Saengerfest, who is at
present in San Francisco, has sent him a
telegram signifying his intention to ar
rive in this city today or tomorrow.
Sperati will spend few days in the
city selecting the best singers among the
members of the Saengerfest in Astoria.
He win then visit Tacoma, Seattle,
Spokane, Portland, and numerous other
cities of the northwest to select the
trained singers among the Norwegians
il the various cities. Two hundred or
more will be selected for the singing
fest to be held in this city, and together
with their friends they win number
about two thousand visitors.
President Nanthrup is enthusiastic
over the outlook for successful meet
ing in this city and asserts that it will
be the greatest gathering OF trained
choruses ever seen on the Pacific Coast
No expense has been spared to secure
the best talent and the figures which have
been made to fill some numbers on the
program would cause surprise.
He has secured boat which will be
fitted up as a Viking ship, and it is of
such large dimensions that it has been
decided to have just the one. 1t is over
80 feet long and will accommodate more
than hundred warriors. He will leave
for Portland in a few days to purchase
the regalia of the Vikings, such as old
time clothing. swords and shields, along
with various other material required for
The unique undertaking.

WILLARD In PLEAS
ING CHARACTER
HE AND MISS ROBERTS IN DOUBLE
BILL MOVE LARGE AUDIENCE
TO TEARS BY THEIR EXCELLENT
ACTING.

At the Astoria Theater last night Mr.
Lee Willard presented as special fea-
ture a double bill consisting Of one
act play entitled "Two men Of Oregon
and "a Man from Arizona" comedy
drama in three acts.
The" Two Men OF Oregon" proved one
OF the most interesting and, to use a
practical term, one of the most different
dramas that has ever been witnessed in
this city. Mr.. Willard in the character
OF 81 Somerfeld an old man Of about 70
years of age, brought tears to his hear
ers eyes time and time again and every
move was made in manner that showed
the deepest OF study on the part of the
performer 1t was as fine bit OF char
acter acting as has ever been seen on
this or any other stage and Mr.. Elton
in the character OF Deacon Oakwood,
the other man, gave Mr.. Willard the
most excellent support. This sterling
performer is most excellent in this
character and his work in this part was
a most perfectly finished performance.
The Man from Arizona proved to be
a most interesting presentation and
served to introduce Mr. Willard and
Miss Roberts in two entirely distinct
characters IRON anything they have yet
essayed. As Jack Ralston the scout,
Mr.. Willard gave finished performance
and his stalwart and manly conception
of the part is only another specimen of
his worth as producer of the right
and modern idea of art as depicted upon
the stage. Miss Roberts in the character
of Winona, the Indian girl, carried all
before her. Her makeup as the Indian,
was perfect and her well modulated and
beautiful voice was a delight to all her
hearers. Mr.. Willard is fortunate in his
selection of a leading lady as Miss Rob-
erts is the best stock leading lady that
hs yet been seen in Astoria.
As a whole, "Two Men of Oregon" and
"The Man from Arizona" proved to. be
a most enjoyable evenings entertain
