JUSTICE HARIAN'S SPEECH
Prediction Of Great War Justified in
Many Minds

New York. The address by Justice
Harlan Of the United states supreme
court. published in the Sunday papers.
in which he advocated spending s5O.-
100000 year on warships in anticipa-
tion Of the war between the white aud
yellow races, (which would shake the
earth, - created prOfounI impression
among public men aud students of for
eign affairs.
The State department, IL Is known, IL
watching with extreme solicitude the
military wave that Is overspre aiding
the Chinese empire. Advices from con-
suiar and diplomatic agents from Pc
king and Canton tell OF the organixa-
ton OF new regiments under the tutel-
age OF japanese instructors. The beat
ing OF tomtoms, the display OF wierd
banners and the use OF magicians TO
exercise foreign devils has given way
to khaki uniforms, engineering corps
and the Lee Metford rifles. In view OF
these reports, the prediction OF Justice
Harlan that within ten years China
will have a standing army OF 5.ooo,O00
trained soldiers Is not deemed extrRva-
giant.
That China and Japan are co-opsrat-
ing to make the Mongolian race pre-
dominant among the nations Is CON-
monty believed.

assembly for the electioa Of librarian.
which consumed practically all of the
afternoon
In the senate. after Secretary Rob
erson had concluded the reading of about
a fourth Of the message. the further
reading was dispensed with. The mes
sage was pronounced by those who fol-
lowed the reading a. one Of the most
complete ami comprehensive that has
come from amy governor Of the state.
and a. more than ons of the legislators
declared. a most complete and satisfae-
tory accounting for a saecessful stew
ard~hip.
But the feature Of the day. from n
human interest viespoint. was the Joint
assembly at $3.50 for the election of a
state librarian. a contest which has ex-
cited interest not only at the capital,
but all over the state. The hour for
this Joint meeting was set for $3.50.
and BY pm the galleries and side
aisles were crowded with men and vo-
men, while many of the gallant and

EXPORTS OF COTTON CLOTH
Show Considerable Falling on for
the Year.

Washington. - Estimates for l99s
based upon returns received for the
eleven months prior TO Dec. | show
that United States exports OF manu-
features will average 5000. 600 a day.
This is in the face OF falling of Of
sli. .Oo0, 900 in the value of the cotton
cloths sent 10 China. The bureau OF
statistics by which the figures have
been compiled, advances the belief that
this depreciation is due to the large
supply of cotton clo:h sent by the
United states To China in 1905 and the
early part OF the following year.
The eleven months for which returns
have been received show exports of
manufactures from the United States
which aggregate s75o,0Oo,O 600, or
monthly average of se4 900 for the
year. Cotton cloth is the only article
showing a material reduction.
