cotton raising and cotton manufacture
ing The report says recent estimates
put China's cotton crop at from 10,-

ton, but yarns, Her yarn exports last
year were 67203 piculs. Of this total
Great Britain took $4,000 piculs.

CHAUTAuQuA ASSURED
FOR THE next YEAR
Program Continues Very High Glass,
Attention Very
Good.

The Chautauqua continues to be a
big feature of the weeks entertain
ment and instruction in the city, and
is drawing large audiences.
More than SO signers for next years
guaranty have been secured so that
the Chautauqua is assured for an
other year.
Tuesday afternoon the Royal Welsh
Singers, all ladies, gave the program,
and they also gave the prelude in the
evening. This is an unusually fine
singing organization, which won high
praise by the large audienres which
won high praise by the largo
audiences which greeted them. In
the evening Judge Geo. D. Alden gave
his inimitable lecture. "The Needs Of
the Hour" Judge Alden is a favor
tte on Chautauqua programs, his tell
ing facts, his humor and pathos win
ming for hid the distinction of being
one of the premier lectures before
the American public today.
Wednesday afternoon was rest af.
ternoon, and last evening the great
play, "Kindling," the climax of the
Chautauqua week, was presentei 1.
This is a powerful drama which had
a phenomenal run in New York, and
was placed on the Chatauqua pro-
gram by most of the players who gave
1t in New York.
This number drew the record
crowd. the tent being packed entirely
to capacity.
The,acting was very good indeed
in fact the players were artists Of tn:
highest class. The play, however, il
one of those problem plays" which
Judge Alden denounced as "wallow.
ing in a pig-sty in order to see beau.
tiful sunset"
1t shows too much of the brutality
of sin and crime in detail-and while
people are willing to pay the price OF
revulsion and disgust in order to
learn a wholesome lesson; in this
play the lesson was scarcely worth
the ordeal. The acting, however, was
marvellous, worthy of a much greater
theme.
DR.. G.. Whitfield Ray, the South
American traveller, was very interest
ing and instructive. The Parnells
were splendid entertainers-especial-
ly Mrs. Parnells Interpretation OF
children's stories and ideas.
Judge Bales lecture was also we'll
received.
The program for tomorrow is as
follows:
Afternoon-Prelude, Native Maori
