A
Chinese Situation and South?
ern Mills.
One of the most important reeolte
of tbe trooblee io Chine bee been tbe
unfavorable effect opon tbe oottoo
goode trede. Our ezporte of oottoo
ooode to Chine reached oearly $10,
000,000 leet year, end op to tbe time
of the outbreak of the Boxer out
ragee trade wae proceeding oo e scale
which promised eveo greeter reeolte
for the present yesr. Since tbe out
break tbe demand from Chine bee
practically etopped.
Thie felling off In tbe demand for
oottoo goods, due to tbe etoppsge of
tbe Cbineee traffic has been severely
felt by e number of southern mills,
which have been eogsged in supply
ing tbe demend from Chine Tbst
these mills have evffcred there csn be
no doubt, but the loss sustained bas
probably been greetly overestimated
Nevertheless tbe etoppege of tbe
Chine trade bee afforded en excuse
for eteting tbet tbe oottoo menufso
turiug industry of tbe eoutb bee
suffered e sarioue setback.
Ae e matter of feet, while tbe loes
of the China trade bss been felt by
those mills which especially catered
to it, the greet mass of southern
mille did not feel the trouble in Chine
et ell, for tbe reason tbet their oepeo
ity wee not engeged in making goode
for the Chine merket While there
bee beeo some short time io ludivido
el oesee, eod there bes beeo lese
workiog overtime theo last year,
these conditions have been due
rather to eoercity of stilled operetives
then to tbe loss of tbe China trade
It ie more than likely that the greet
increase in the number of spindles in
operation bes more than offset losses
which have taken place in consump?
tion due to the etoppsge in tbe Chine
trade and other causes
Tbe New York Commercial end
Finencial Chronicle, in e recent
issue, gives the result of some specisl
investigations it bas been making
into this matter. It finds tbat the
influence of tbe loss of tbe Chins
trsde hss been much exaggerated,
end tbet, far from exerting a serious
ly damaging effect upon the develop
ment of cotton manufacturing in the
eoutb, ite effect has beeo more tbsn
offset by tbe inoressed output of new
mill capacity

POSE INCREASE OF
ARMY.
Washington, Jao. 7?Tot debate to
the Seoate oo the army bill baa brooght
ont several iotereitiog points The
administration senators bsvs been com
pelted to acknowledge tbat the situation
in the Philippines is today worse than
it was when Mr McKinley wrote his
message to Congress, end tbat it is
more likely to grow worse tbao better
in the near future ; tbat in any event a
large number of troop*, quite as maoy,
if not more tbao are there now, must
be kcot on tbo islands for ao indefinite
period. Seoator Hoar resumed his old
position of antagonism to the McKinley
Philippine policy, aod urged tbat the
Filipino leeders be given s bearing at
Washington, and tbat the poliey of
extermination be abandoned. Senator
Csffery denoaooed the Army bill, be
cause its real purpose, tbe extermination
nf tbe Pbilipinos was mssked, aod de
elared tbat althoogb tbie sort of thing
might be osllsd "benevolent assimila?
tion", it was oo less tyrsony and simply
a superimposed yoke of imperialism
Seoator Teller began bis speeeb by
predietiog thst 200,000, instead of tbe
100,000 men provided by tbe bill,
would be oeeded to carry out tbe pre
eent polioy, aod that for a century to
eome the islands would have to be
heavily garrisoned He referred to bis
baviog, two years ago, io a speeeb,
laoghed at tbe idea of anything inner
ialistio being sesn ooder tbe American
flag, aod added impressively :" I
now retraot that assertion "
He eharaoteriied tbe aetioos cf tbe
present Philippine oommission ae gross
imperialism onequaled anywhere on the
faoe of the earth, aod said "Under the
law they have a right there, but under
God's law, wkieh is higher, tbey have
00 place there at all Their actions are
the worst form of imperialism. In
reply to a question from Senator
Csffrey, Mr Teller said : "As Mr
Ltnoolo aonounoed in regard to the
Mexican war, a war that he did not
believe in, he would vote for euoh a
foree as the government needed, so
1 havs no doubt that as long as our flag
floats from tbe Philippine archipelago,
I will (reluotaot as 1 may be) vote to
maintain the army and the flag there
If tbat is illogical, it is illogical beoause
there is oo better wey not of it In
olosing Mr Teller fired this broadside
at Mr McKinley : "Tbe president hss
assured us thst there is oo daoger of
imperialism, bot if imperialism oan be
made worse tbao it is now in tbe
Philippines, you'i' havs to increase the
ability of the buouao mind for abso
lutism "
Seoator Jones, of Ark. has offered a
resolution providiog for so investiga
tion bv tbe senator committee on mili?
tary affairs of tbe eharget of crocked
news in oonneotion with i combine of
offioiaU to control the Philippine out
pot of hemp, made by Msj K. L
Hawkes, against Col Hetstand, and
some othsr prominent offioiaU. In
few remarks on tbe eeoesstty for tbe
investigation, Senator Jones says
"Tbe ox army cffioer (Msj Hawkee)
has been removed from tbe publio
service, as the newspapers state, aod as
it i* stated by ooe of the Secretaries,
on aooooot of hie being gnilty of some

other man wee as guilty as he waa io
oonneotion with those things. If it
is true that tbe man who remains in tbe
publie service ie equally ae guilty as the
mau who was removed, the faote oaght
to be known If there hae been any
infamous ooodoot of tbat sort, it ebould
be understood " In a letter to Seorc

ebarges ; 'I will simply sey they are
