The cotton mills in India seem to
be having their troubles, the similari-
ty Of which is strikingly like that en-
countered in the recent past by the
cotton mills of the southern states.
Consul Michael, from Calcutta reports
to the Daily Consular and Trade Re-
ports that a press dispatch from Bonn
bay says the mill coolies are leaving
that city for the villages In large num-
bers for agricultural work, on account
of the dearth of employment in the
cotton mills there, of which fourteen
closed in January and six closed In
February. This means that some 2O,-
900 people will be thrown out of en-
ployment. The closing is due to mills
making no profit and heavy losses ow-
ing to the high price of cotton. Un-
less prices of cotton yarn improve pro-
portionately to the enhanced price or
cotton there is no hope Of improve
ment. All of which has a familiar
ring in this part OF the country

New York, March 10: Upon COM
plant Of Booker T. Washington, the
we'll known negro educator, man
was locked up by the police tonight
charged with assault upon DR.. Wash
ington. The latter received so severe
a blow on his head from a club that
he was at the Flower hospital for
over an hour late tonight having the
wound dressed. The trouble occurred
tod, or
at which WASHINGTON called about 10
o'clock tonight to see a friend, but no
one answered his repeated calls on the
door bell. Thinking the man he wished
to see might appear any moment
Washington walked up and down in the
vicinity for more than half an hour,
when his walk was interrupted by a
man having the appearance of a jani-
tor, who emerged with big club in his
hand, according to the complainant,
and struck Washington. Washington
said he returned the blow with his fist
and held the man until the police ar
rived. The janitor acted, according to
Washington, las though he thought /
was a burglar" The alleged assail-
ant, who is a large German, gave his
name as Albert Ulrich.

Washington. March 90: Hundreds
of billions of tons of coal contained in
the vast area of coal lands in the west,
consisting of more than 100000
acres. are owned by the United States
government, according to an announce
ment of the United States geological
survey today. Some tracts are of i'm
mense value, containing beds of the
highest grade coal in veins from thir-
ty to eighty feet in thickness. BY a
new method of selling this coal land
the government will gain an enormous
amount of money. The old way was
to sell the coal lands regardless of
value at SO an acre if more than ff-
teen miles from a railroad, or at $50 If
within that limit, Now the geological
survey measures the coal In an acre
and the land is sold on coal tonnage
basis. AS a result coal lands have
been priced as high as $4O0 an acre
