N isil to the hiliiu'tl'J State. \l.nst wctk the Secretary of Agricul ture visited .Soutli Carolina wheio ho litis htlldlOil tilt) full! 11 t lOllS of llgl H'lll* Curt* mill truck giudenilig along tho const, th.> iiiutiiifiu'luiindustries, the ton culture, tho agricultural col lege of South Cuiohnu aud other mat tcrs of interest. !u au interview tho secretary nniil that South Carolina is making rapid progress in all these di reetioua. The farmers arc Icuining how to tako bolter euro of their b>ui. how to fer tilize and cultivate with ftu ro profit Tim di vorsificutiuu of crops baa uot ex* tended so far an it should or ho fur as it very hooii will, hut tho people aro gradually working to th..t end. Tho State manufactures ahont odd* third of the cotton produced, and tho most striking development of South Carolina is | o-hti^a louud in (hat di rection. 1 0:110 entcrpiiae, and to a great e.xtent, Loiuo capital, has boon utilizing the great r'.vels of tho State iu tho muiiufacliue of cotton through electric uppliuncos. Wires extend from tho rivers an t'.ir ilB 1 I miles, up to tho tops of tho lulls, where healthy condi tions aro found and great factories costing as muc.h as a million dollars are located. I his work is going on ami will continue to progress until the State maiiuf?eturcH all tho raw cotton produced within its limits. Kighteou years ago, when tljo attention of tho South Carolina people was drawn to tho lDQiiufuctlire of cotton, $J180,00U was paid to labor. Now the State is paying #t?)t?:iiMiiitl aiiLiialiy, which is about two-tilths of all the manufactur ing of tho (southern States along cot ton lines. J ho secrctury hi id that with little exception white labor is being used in tho mills. In the city of Charleston the experiment of colored labor is being tried and and it is hoped the plan will succeed. It is still an open ques tion, however, and is being watched with gieat interest. lie said that other cotton manufacturers will have to tako note of the progress being mado along this lino iu tho South. They arc get ting tho very newest machinery; thoir bunds work probably somew hat longer hour?, and perhaps for a little lower wages. The southern people seem to be entirely satisfied with homo labor, and evince no desire for immigt atiou. The funuer*. throughout the Stnto aro getting better markets for their j in ducts, receiving a largo per cent, of tho $<>,000,000 paid to the mill hands. This encourages tho keeping of dairy cows, the feeding of hogs aud the rais ing of chickens to supply the demand of the factory peoplo in villages. Mi. Wilson said the tobacco indus try ha t taken hold of and is making good progress. Tho peoploaro study ing this plaut anil its products, in ol - der to ascertain: how they can produce it more profitably. The individual farmers are giving at* tention to t he production of fino horses, such as bring big price*, not only at home, but iu foreign countries?-gaited horses, hunting horses, fine carnago horses. Tho Southern peoplo have a taste along this line and will certainly suoceed. 1 here aro not enough dairy cows in the State, ofveourso, but encouraging progress is being niado in that direc tion also, the Secretary said. They have Bomo as fine dairy cows as aro to be found anywHere. They m.ike as tine butter as is to l>o louud iu the North. "lbey keep sheep in tho'South, but not enough." said ho. "1 liey have not quite realized that it is peculiarly their privilege to furnish early spiing lambs for tho Northern markets, where they sell at a very high price. '' 1 he conditions iu the South arc eu ? tirely favorable to tho production of tho bacou hog. I ho peoplo 10 tho great corn belt of the Mississippi val ley want a market for their corn and feed the hog as long as ho will mako any gain. The producer of tho bacon hog, however, disposes of tho animal sooner at a youngOt age. "As soon as tho Southern peoplo give attention to tho dairy industry there will bo a great increase in its products." The secretary nntdo a point of im pressing upon tho people of tho State tho wisdom of increasing their pas tures, and of setting their wood lots to work to produce grass for the coit and tho dairy cow, the mutton sheep and the hog. \. Great progress has been made, ho said, at tho agricultural college. They are doing work thoro that Is probably not betng dono anywhere olso. Tho department of agriculture, for the last two yeai?, has been conduct ing nation-wido experiments to ascer tain whether tho peoplo of the United States cati produce their own sugar from Iheir own'sugar beets. Tho mut ter has gono so far that tho secretary has no doubt w hatcvcr of tho success d( the industry* About a score of mills wer? runtoing lout fall, another score is bel#ft*built, and in tim j completo success will come and the 8100,000,000 now paid out for sugar will be saved aud kept kt home. Tho seoretarjr is also sure now that the people of the latitude of South Carolina can produce all tho tea needed by the American people, jnst as he was ?ore, two yeara ago, that the sugar needed for home consumption could be1 produced from the soger beet, iode pendent of all other sources. j tcsurancc Aftalt It Orgaaixe.

'fho officials of tlio Stnto and War Popart nients are looking for a speedy collapse of tho insurrection jn tlio Philippines. Not only ie this expectation baaed on tlio privato ndvices that havo come from the Philippine commission, as* to tlio negotiations that havo been going on between that body and the insurgent representatives, but also upon tho suc cessful development of MacArthur's and Law ton's campaign. So far as tho com missioner' reports mo concerned tlioy indicate that tho insurgents have at least locoguizotl tho inevitable break-do vu of their struggle, and aro simply atriving, by protrnctiug thou resistance to secure the most liberal tonus posuiblo in th> election of a government in tho Philip pines. 1 hoy havo not in any diplomatic seuse acknowledged tho sovereignty of tho United Stales, but havo recognized the physical domination of our military forces,and whilo tlioy havo talked muru 01 loss of iiidepoudouce, even at the last moment, without doubt they will | accept roadily any proposition lookinc ' to a protectorate. The I'rosideut'B in ! structions, however, aro clear on this I point, aud tho commission under stands that it is to tako no action in a way of making promises that w ill do privo Congress of a frco hand in dis ! posiug of tho future of tho Pliilii pines. | It is beiiovod that an animating pur pose in tho Filipino 1 oprosentation is to inako suro that whatovoi form of gov ernment is adopted will ulTordlucruliAo and iniluoutial placcs for tho many nm : bilious Philippine leaders. Tho admin istration eees nothing in this aspiration I irreconcilable with a firm government | over iho Clauds by tho I'nitod States, j tho opportunity for tho Filipinos being I found in a liberal provision for uiunici ' pal alid even provincial native govcrn ! meiit in tlio islands.

At one tirno Goueral (iomcz was seriously considered for the presi dency, but after tho action of tho As sembly in assailing his course, il was considered that his candidacy would probably moot with strong opposition. Tho result of consultations is, it is as sorted,thut tho President of Cuba shall be Carlos Cee pedes, son of the war President. Tho party of General Gomez boliovo that it is none too early to begin a movement in behalf n? Carlos Cespedes, as they expect that American occupation of tho islaud will end beforo nej.t summer, and probably by April, 1900. Carlos Gespedoa was a colonel during tho war with .Spam, on the stud of General Garcia, and po8BO??os a good record as a soldier.
