V. \ CHINA'S APOLOGY. It Is Delivered to the German Government. PRINCE CHUN .MELTS THE KAISER. A Plain Statement cf The Condition of the Chinese Government?ColU Not Prevent Cutraees. Potsdam, Uy able.?Prince Chun visited the mausoleum and placed ^ wreaths un the tombs of the Emperor and Empress Frederick. Emperor William tvieived Prince Chun at noon, in the present e of the royal Princes, Baron Von Richthofcn. the Foreign Secretary, the principal ministers and generals and the court dignataries. The Prince road a letter written in yellow ink. to the Emperor. The following is the text of the letter: The Great Emperor of the Chinese Empiio to His Maesty. thje Great German Emperor, greeting: Ever since the empires have been mutually represented by permanent legations, we have stood uninterrupted in friendly relationship with one another, especially since the visit of Prince Henry, whom I had the privilege of receiving frequently and treating with on intimate terms. Unfortunately in the fifth month of last year the Boxers rebellious!} penetrated into Pekin and the soldiers joined them. The result was the murder of Your Majesty's minister. Baron Von Kettler. a man who as long as he occupied his post at Pekin paid careful attention to the interests of our countries and to whom we are bound to pay our special acknowledgements. We regret most deeply that Baron Von Kettler met so terrible an end among us. The fact that we were not in a position to take protective measures was painful to our sense of responsibility. It was this feeling of responsibility which prompted us to erect a monument on the spot as a sign that the crime should not ?? ?

Prince Chun, our own brother, will assure Your Majesty how deeply the events of the past year have grieved us and how deeply feeling of penitence and shame still animate us. Your Majesty sent your troops from a far distance, put down the Boxers' rebellion and restored peace, for the welfare of our nations. We have, therefore, commanded Prince Chun to express personally to Your Majesty our thanks for your efforts in promoting peace. We cherish the hope that Your Majesty's indignation will be replaced by the old friendship. That the relations "between our empires will be even more extensive and of a more intimate and beneficient character than hitherto is our firm assurance." Prince Chun, in deliviering the let ter. said: "I am in a position iu assure Your Majesty that the Emperor, my most gracious master, stood aloof from these complications, which brought misfortune upon China and loss and care upon Germany. Nevertheless. in accordance with the customs of thousands of years, the Emperor of .China has taken the blame on his ov/n sacred person. I have, therefore. the task of expressing to Your Majesty the most cordial feelings of the Emp?ror, my most illustrious master, toward your Imperial Majesty and the whole imperial family. I hope the passing cloud will only intensify the su reeding sunshine and mutual friendship of the two great empires when they understand the value of each other better." Emperor William in reply said: "It is no joyous or festive occasion, nor the fulfillment of the simple act 01 courtesy which brings your imperial highness to me; but a deeply melancholy and very serious event. My minister to the court of the Emperor of China has been slain in the capital of China by the murderous weapons of an imperial Chinese soldier acting under superior command, an unheardof crime, which is branded as infamous by international law and the usage of all nations. From the mouth of your imperial highness I have just received an expression of tne deep ,egret of the Emperor of China. I readily believe your imperial brother f personally stood aloof from this crime and the subsequent acts of violence against the inviolable legations and peaceful foreigners. All the greater the guilt rests on his advisers and government. The latter must not delude themselves with the belief that they are able to ouia:n aiuucim-m ,,... don for their guilt by the expiatory y mission alone. -* Hogg's Big Company.

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL | i New Enterprises That Are Enrichinj Our Favored Section. New Industry l or North Carolina. | And r.ow cemcs the fact that China : can no longer claim to he the only country that produces the rush from which the famous "Chinese matting' is manufactuted. This great m: nopslv can no more belong exclusively to the Flowery Kingdom. Along tho hanks of the Trent and Ncuse rivers and tlieir tributaries and mais'ms. b ginning about 15 miles above Newb: m tliere grows a beautiful rush from three to seven feet high, samples of which were lately submitted to a Boston expert an(J declared by him to b: the identical species of the Chinese variety and from which the Chine-e rr.a-tings is made. The supply of this rush In this State is positively inexhaustible. It is a perennial, exceedingly hardy and a vigorous, rapid grower. In its original green state the stalls I arc from the size of a kniiting needle to that of a lead pencil. It is conservatively estimated that about 301000.000 yards cf Chinese matting are shinped into the United States alone annually from China. It will therefore be seen what the discovery o? this North Carolina rush really means to the commercial world, and its importance to the men who will engage in its manufacture. Truly the great and diversified wealth cf the Old North State is a constant and continual surprise. "The half has never been told." ?Raleigh News and Observer. A Southern Blenchery. One of the most important announcements ever made in connection with the Southern textile industry has appeared during the current week. It is the announcement cf the completion of the $300,000 bleaehery at Clearwater S. C., the first of its character in this section to cater to the general mill trade. There are two other bleachcries in the South, but th*y are operated in conjunction with cotton factories. The plant just completed will print, bleach and dye sheetings, drills, ducks and sateens, and its weekly capacity is 100 tons of goods. The operators have been chosen from the leading plants in New England, and the company owning the bleachery expects its plant to be but the initial step that will ultimately result in the South printing, bleaching and dyeing all of its manufactured cloth. The establishment of the bleachery is due ta the efforts of Mr. Thomas Barrett. Jr., of Augusta. Ga., the company's president, who has for years, been identified with the cotton manufacturing interests of the South. ( Florida's Orange Crop. C. C. Carlton, representing J. H. Big- < glow, of Cleveland. Ohio, the big orange buyer, returned last week from ' a trip to DLe Soto county. He reporrs ( the orange crop of that county will be ; fully as large as it was last year, but the grapefruit crop will be short. So far the price by the box has not been established, most of the sales being in bulk, but he thinks that the ruling price will be $1 to $1.25 a box on the tree. Mr. Carlton is cn a trade for 30.000 boxes at Wauchula. and he expects to secure fully that many here. , Mr. Carlton is of the opinion that tho . growers will market their f: uit as car'v ; as possible this year, ?is many of them lost heavily by holding back for better prices last year.?Tampa (Fla.)
