JAPAN WANTS MORE
 BIG EMPHASIZES

Victoria, B. O., September 4.-According to advices brought by the steamer Cyclops. which reached port today from Yokohama, there is an agitation in Japan for a large increase in the navy MT. Yamaka, counselor for the navy depart ment, stated that Japan must built at once 15 Dreadnoughts. He said:
 At present the naval power of a coun- try is calculated on the basis of bat tleships of the Dreadnought type it pos sesses, and if Japan were to initiate the policy of the British navy half of her present warships would be withdrawn from commission.
 While other nations are building Dreadnoughts, Japan has only one ship of that type the Satsuma, a vessel in- ferior to the Dreadnought type, and two new battleships under construction. The rivalry and progress of the orient will compel Japan to have at least 15 ships of the Dreadnought type"
 The Tokyo Yamato reports that the war departments estimates for next year will provide for the expenditure of s4O,000 900, a decrease of more than two and a half millions from this year. An increased ap- propriation is provided for building forts in Hogyo Bay and for the study of bal looms and aeroplanes.

LIGHT CATCH OF FURs.
Reports From the North Indicates That
 Fine Pelts Are Extremely Scarce.
From the Ottawa Citizen

From the Ottawa Citizen.
 That there is going to be a very light fur catch all through the north this year seems certainty, according to advices just received.
 White, black and red foxes are very much scarcer than ever before. Tho beautiful silver fox is entirely missing this year. The richly furred red Hox of the Arctic is also very scarce, as is also the snowy white fox which was formerly abundant.
 No good lynx skins seems to have been taken this year. Only a few poor sum- mer skins of this animal will be sent to market from here this year.
 A trader who deals exclusively in fox. lynx and er1nine skins has just reached civilization from the Kotzebue country. In the trip of over 300 miles through what was once the richest fur producing region of the Arctic he was able to buy only eight fox skins and very few ermine skins. He visited every Esquimau will lage and every detached igloo on his way, offering good prices.
 Not only are the finer furs very scarce, but the trade in polar bear skins, which has until now been extensive, Is also af- fected. Even when plentiful large polar bear skins, properly dressed, have brought over $500 in several eastern cities, but these large skins which sometimes exceed Il feet in length. are not to be seen in the Arctic this year.
 Nothing is known at present concerning the fur situation on the Siberian side, but the catch in Arctic Alaska will be less than half of last year.

COTTON CROP OF
 TEXAS IS SHORT

San Antonio, Tex. September 4-(Spe- cial.)-That the cotton crop of Texas will be short this year by at least 40 per cent is now an established fact. In the black prairie belt the shortage will reach 50 per cent and over, while Southwest Texas. more favored in the matter of rain this year, will be behind last years crop only 20 to 20 per cent. The slightly increased acreage will have little effect on the shortage of the crop. The shortage is due principally to the lack of rain at the proper season. A prolonged drouth in- terferh with the development of the plant at very early stage The abund- ant rains which have fallen through the greater part of the summer did little to overcome the harm done in the spring. Late cotton was benefited by them con- sderably but not enough of this is planted to bring the crop to a normal basis; /cotton growers being averse to planting late cotton for the reason that the crop comes in the market at a time when prices have been lowered by the earlier product.
 The prices paid for cotton are good and promise to remain so. AS a matter of fact the farmer will lose little if any thing by the shortage. Eight-cent cot ton, the bane of the farmers life, will not be a factor in the crop this year. The best cotton now sells at 12%c, good middling at 12Ac, and middling at 12c, on the San Antonio market. Ten cents. II present indications count for anything and wholesale manipulation does not in- terfere, will in all Likelihood be the min mum price. The outside market will have little effect on the situation in Texas for the reason that the shortage is gen. eral in the south.

GREAT ACTIVITY
 IN INDUSTRIES

Chicago, September 4.-Increasing in- dustrial, agricultural and mining activity is indicated by advance sheets of the fort nightly statement of car surpluses and shortages compiled by President Halt or the American Railway association.
 The statement, which will be published September 10, will show that on Septem- Der 1 the surplus of cars of all kinds has been reduced more than 40,000, bring ing the surplus down to a little more than 100000 cars of all kinds.
 This, according to MT. Hale, is the smallest surplus since October when there were marked shortages in several sec tions of the country.
 Tt is important to note" said MT. Hale today, that this seasons reduction of six weeks ahead of last years, indicat- ing that shortage this year will be greater than a year ago."

Cigarettes in England.

From the Illustrated London News.
 Sixty years have passed since Laurence Oliphant, the notable journalist, traveller and novelist of that day, stood sponsor for the introduction of the cigarette into England by being the first person of note to smoke the slender paper-covered lit- tie rolls of tobacco publicly in London. At that time smoking was regarded as vicious and vulgar.
 Do you wish to be taken for an omni- bus conductor?' was Charles Grevilles question to younger men of his &C., quaintance whom he found smoking in the region of St. James's.
 But with the introduction of the cigar cite that condemnation of tobacco began to wane, for not only did the cigarette avoid the clumsiness of the pipe and the heavy flavor of the cigar, but. it also for the first time offered to English smokers the rare charm and delcacy of Turkish tobacco
