fainting fits she suffered several years
ago. while other unfavorable symptoms
have also been manifested

Provision for Possible Exile.
The residence within the grounds of the

for the King of Montenegro. in case he
may soon qualify as the next of Europe
kings in exile.
While here a few days ago he wept bit

Russian duchesses. that they would have
to find a home for their father unless
the ear openly defended his kingdom.
This is one of the reasons why Secretary

LONDON. March 9.-Last week l re-
ported that in Britain we are on the brink
of hell. but the approach to the inferno is
not down preciptous crag: it is down
shelving beach, and We are being drawn
irresistibly down the slippery slope which
leads to anarch. and civil war
All week there have been desperate eff
forts made by the government and all
friends of social order and justice to ar
rest the movement to the abyss. SO far
they have been unavailing. The miners
are exultant In the knowledge that they
can paralyze the whole industry Of the
nation as easily as a man can stop a
watch. if he cares to thrust his finger into
the works.
Negotiations have been going on all
week between the parties, all conducted in
private. 1t is amazing the number of
men who exist who can be relied upon to
keep their counsel on occasions such as
these. The general opinion is gaining
ground that. as leading publisher said TO
me the other day. nothing can be done
until both men and masters have had q
taste of it. To this no one could object
if the bitter cup had to be tasted only
by the miners and mine owners, but it is
becoming every day more evident that
the chief suffering will be borne, not by
the disputants but by non-combatants
and neutralS

NOTES WEATHER
BULLS CONTEND THAT THE NEW
SEASON WILL BE VERY
BACKWARD.
Bears Say There Is Yet Plenty o
Time to Plant a Huge
, Crop.

New Orleans.-The cotton market
promises to be much Of a weather af-
fair. Planting time in the cotton belt
has arrived and the trade from now
on is going to eagerly watch the
weather map for conditions favorable
or ~unfavorable to the new crop. The
bulls contend that the new season
will be very backward because Of the
long-continued cold and wet weather.
and that prices, for some time to
come, will be on an upward trend IN
consequence: OF late the new crop
months in the future market have
been Influenced by bullish senti-
ment.
The bear side Is doing its best to
destroy bullish sentiment in the dis
tant months by the contention that
it is being made part and parcel OF
the manipulation going on in the old
crop positions. The bears, and, it
must be admitted, even many consery-
alive traders, are Of the opinion that
there Is yet plenty of time in which
to plant a full acreage and that in
such a backward season, it is better
to plant a little late than too early
because of the danger from spring
frosts that the young plant under
goes. During the week many mar
ket letters cited instances where this
last season cotton planted on the first
of June yielded a bale to the acre
The labor situation abroad will
have to be considered by the cotton
trade, but there is a growing disposi-
ton to give strike news second place
to news from the cotton belt. M

PLEADS FOR EVERGLADES
FLORIDA SENATOR DENIES THAT
THERE'S BEEN ANY GIGANTIC
LAND SWINDLE.
No One Doubts the Feasibility Of Re
claiming the Everglades OF
Florida. :

Washington.-"We are here to give
the public scientific data, not opin'
ions. Iswant this thing stopped right
where it is" ..t r..
Senator Fletcher of Florida thus
quoted Secretary of Agriculture VIII
son., referring to the time when the
circular on the drainage Of the Flor
ida Everglades was suppressed in the
department. Senator Fletcher ap-
peared before the Everglades investi-
eating committee and assumed re-
sponsibility for bringing the matter
10 the attention of Secretary Wilson.
Senator Fletcher said that the cir
cular in controversy may have con-
tanned some truth, but he thought
that in the main it was unfair and
unjust and, on the whole, would con-
yey an erroneous impression.
Senator Fletcher said drainage OF
the Everglades had been a political
issue in Florida. He did not know OF
any one who doubted the feasibility
of retaining the Everglades. The diff
ferences, he said, were over the ques-
tons of cost and length Of time re-
.quired for the work. There was also a
difference Of opinion as to the value
of the reclaimed land. r
The senator explained the suppress
sion of the senate document on the
Everglades and the criticism OF 1t by
Representative Clark. He dnied that
only facts favorable to the reclama-
ton project were printed and unfay-
orable material rejected. He said he
had simply put the facts in the doc
ument, and had excluded matter sub
mitted to him by C. G. Elliott, chief
drainage engineer Of the department
of agriculture, because he thought II
immaterial and 'surplusage."
