Wednesday night the fans and pumps were
again working, the power-house being close
ly guarded.
When in the dark of Thursday morning,
all Tonypandy was asleep, a winding engin-
eer under the escort of police was prevailed
upon to 90 to the colIiery to set the lowering
gear in operation. 1t was for this man that
Mr.. Leonard Llewellyn, the manager, had
been waiting, and directly he came Mr..
Llewellyn, with the sub-agent, Mr.. Clarke,
and four assistants, descended the shaft.
Below they saw by the light of the lamps
they carried that the water which flooded
the mine was deep. Through this sblack,
grimy food the men waded. At times it
reached their armpits, but they pushed on
until they found the horses, stalled Gin a.
gallery above the deep water.
eve found all the horses except o few"
said Mr.. Llewellyn after his return to the
pit-head, where, wearied to exhaustion, he
was snatching u few minutes rest. "Some
of the stalls we're empty, and I expect the
animals have broken away and are roaming
about. The horses were not wild, as we
rather thought they would be, but weak and
exhausted, after being three days without
food or water. The poor animals whinnied
their greeting to us as they heard us APP
preaching. We gave every horse an ample
supply Of food and water, and shall be able
to look after them now without any outside
help from the strikers.

THE WORLDS SUPPLY OF COTTON.
(4QrlculturaE Ncaos, Nos. 26.)

IA gTtctUGtTW AFGl0S, NO5. &6.)
It appears from figures submitted by Mes
srs. Neill Bros. that whereas last cotton
season began with a total supply Of cotton
Visible and at the mills) of 3, 1893, 900 bales
this season begins with only 1,74I, 600 bales.
The difference between these two quanti-
ties represents the excess of consumption
over current supply during the past twelve
months, and indicates the need for an early
and large supply of cotton from America
this season. The consumption would, of
course, have been greater if the use of cot
ton in the past year had not been restricted
by its dearness; but the actual consumption
exceeded 10000 600 bales, and q crop Of
100000 bales this year would do no more
than restore stocks to their normal level. But
there is no prospect of any such yield. 1t
is too soon to speak with confidence
as to what the yield is likely to be, but. no
one looks for q record crop, and it is safe to-
assume that the price of cotton will remain
high. Last seasons American cotton crop
was 1~0,610,O00 bales. 1t is noteworthy that
the exports to Great Britain-2,43 3 600
bales were smaller than any during the
past ten seasons, and that the Continent
took less than for many years past. OF the
total of the crop, American spinnsrs took no
less than AZ per cent, Great Britain % per
cent, France 8 per cent, and the rest OF the
Continent 26 per cent. (JournaI of the
Royal Society of Arts, September 16, 191O)s

WEST INDIAN COTTON.

Messrs. Wolstenholme and Holland, OF
Liverpool, write as follows, under date No.
yember 7, with reference to the sales of
West Indian Sea Island cotton -
There has been no business reported since
our last report in West Indian Sea Island
cotton.
Florida and Carolina Sea Islands remains
firm in price, with q lin1ited business doing.
The report of Messrs. Henry W. Frost &
Co., on Sea Island cotton in the Southern
States, for the week ending November S, is
as follows -
There was some demand in the market
this week, enabling factors to obtain their
asking prices for 400 bales of their offerings
OF about 1000 bales. The sales consisted of
100 bales Fully Fine at $780,, and 300 bales
Extra Fine at 4Oc. aud Ale. AS the demand
was chiefly for the Extra Fine, and exceeded
the offerings on the market, the Ale. was
paid for 100 bales, to enable the buyer to
secure the cotton over the other bids in the
market.
The present demand being seemingly
satisfied, the market closed quiet, and should
1t continue 80, these prices may not be main
tanned but this demand has ENCOURAGED
factors in their views, and they are ~continu-
ing to hold Extra Fine at 41c., 22&d.;
Fully Fine at 38c., = aid, Fine at 36c.,

STRIKE RIOTS IN WALES.
Desperate Fighting.

Fierce fighting took place OBJ Monday
night at the GlamOrgan}C Ompany's Colliery,
~Ionypandy.
The strikers made a series of most deter
mined efforts to carry the electric power
house by assault, for within its walls Mr..
Leonard Llewellyn, the manager, and a staff
of twenty devoted officials, were keeping the
electric fans working, and thus keeping up
the supply of air to the colliery horses below
in the workings.
Speaking of the events of Monday, Mr..
Llewellyn says "They ripped the fencing
down like a lot of wild animals in order to
clear the way for an attack on the power
house. TIL police behaved in an heroic
way. Captain Lindsay (chief constable Of
Glamorganshire) conducted the defence ad-
mirably and with great patience. A pluckier
lot than the police I never saw. None Of
them knew the district the electric light
shone on their helmets, making them an
absolute target for the men. Stones rained
Town ON them. From the upper road they
charged and charged again up the heights
like heroes, and cleared the yards here in
face of q determined invasion.
Siege of the Power House.
Tuesdays rioting and renewed attacks on
the power-house began between five and six
in the evening. For over two hours the
police stood a fusillade of stones, making
repeated charges to relieve the pressure.
The splendid fight of Mr.. Llewellyn to
save the horses in the pit ended temporarily
in partial surrender on Wednesday. At two
o'clock nature overcome the WORKOUT anna
teur stokers and engineers at the power
house. Men. who had been working since
Sunday began to drop. Steam failed, and
it became doubtful whether the two pump
ing engineers who were down below could
be brought up. All efforts were then d.
rected to save these men. AS soon as they
reached the surface, the great power-plant,
with its dynamos, vas allowed to come to a
standstill. Water at the rate of 500 tons an
hour poured into the lower pits.
Mr. Llewellyn was silent and stern, but
did not give up hope. He gave his men
Seight hours clear rest, and the stocking be-
gan again. Several directors OF the COM

chicaaoans Spend Summer in ozarks.

chicagoans Spend Summer In ozarks.
CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-The highest
ground between the rockies (includ-
ing the Black Hills) and the Allegha-
MES has become the prize Of Chica-
goans.~ the highest summit of the
Ozarks at Windsor Park, Ark, apd
promptly has been appropriated to the
uses of golf. Already colony of fam
lilies from Chicago, st. Louis and Ft.
Smith have built summer homes there
where they have a cross-country view
of twenty to one hundred miles lac
cording to the atmospheric conditions.
The credit for the discovery goes. to
Frank Coates, wealthy lumber deal
er of Chicago, who in buying standing
timber found that one summit, with
an altitude of $500 feet about the sea,
was higher than any other point in the
Ozark mountains.
He promptly seized upon the fact
to establish a nucleus of a settlement
which bids fair to rival in character
that in the vicinity of Asheville, N.
C., where the millionaire estates of
Biltmore, Arden, Skyland and Rest
haven are located. Being western
in location it will be western also in
being less exclusively exclusive, than
those about Asheyille and more like
those in the Berkshire hills of Mas
sachusetts where President Taft
spends his summers. Nature equipped
that particular locality with all the
modern requirements of summering
places including mineral springs, and
men have done the rest.
Some $4,000 has been expended
upon golf grounds, club house and
things while all the region roundabout
is unsophisticated Ozark country and
people. Conveniences de luxe, housed,
however, in rustic style have appeared
in the heart of region where porce-
lain bath tub is an unknown luxury
and where the hunter encountered the
language and customs of the typical
"hillbillis.'' Surrounding this sum-

UNIVERSITY 'pAYr

Thursday, October G., has been des-
ignated as University Day" at the
State Fair at Sedalia. 1t will be a
holiday at the University, in order
that fullest opportunity may be af-
forded for making the occasion of ben
eft to the University. The expense
OF the trip will be nominal, low rate
having been made by the railroad. 1t
is important to the University that
as many students as possible attend
the fair on University Day." The
sight of a thousand or more bright
young men and women wearing the
University colors and mill-tax buttons
will have an influence upon fair visi-
tors favorable to the states educa-
tiona1 institution at Columbia.
FUni4ersity Day. will also afford
the students and alumni opportunity
to come in touch with persons from
all parts of the state and to present
the needs of the University to the
voter among them. But short time
when the. mill-tax amendment will be
accented or rejected by the people.
As the University Missourian has fire.

University as one who is receiving
training within it's walls or who has
gone out from the Institution equipped
by it's help for life of larger use
fulness and honor. For this reason,
II for no other, it is the duty of stu
dents to show their loyalty to the Uni
versity on October 6. :,
The fair itself is largely an educa-
tional institution, presenting concrete
illustration of the marvellous resources
OF Missouri, and of the possibilities
and opportunities that lie within her
borders. Not the least among the
exhibits at the fair will be that of
the. University, embracing a compre-
: hensive demonstration of. the part the
Institution is taking, not alone in mat
ters scholastic, but along varied acri-
cultural and Industrial lines. 1t will
be helpful to students to be- brought
to a realization of these things, to
know the greatness and variety of
Mtaso1ri's material wealth. Such
knowledge makes for larger loyalty
to the state aPd to her institutions.
