R?ltiiS United States Out. . J_ European Nations Have Matter Under Consideration. Washington, March 26-While attention has been centered opou the crisis connected with the Manchurian agreement, an entirely new and im portant phase of the Chinese ques tion has been presented by the action of the ministers at Pekin, in agree iog yesterday to submit to their var ions governments whether articles 8 and 9, of the Chinese protocol shall be carried ont by the military authori ties of ail the powers interested in China, or only by those powers who are continuing to take part in the application of these articles. The action of the ministers bas been com monicated to several of the foreign embassies and legations here, and doubtless Mr Rockhill has made or will make known the same facts The articles in question are as fol Iowa:. Article. 8- The destraction cf the ports which might obstruct free com maaicatioc between Pekin and the sea ; Article 9 The right to maintain occupation of certain points, to be determined by an understanding among the powers, io order to obtain open. communication between the capita! .and Che sea - As these two questions appear to involve territorial affairs, it may be. come of considerable moment whether the determination of such affairs is left with the military off? ci?is of all the powers or of only such powers as continue their mili tary force in China In the latter case the United States government will be quietly but effec? tually deprived of all voice in the set tlement of so much of the Chinese question a? relates to the determina tion of the strength of the military forces to be continued therein by the powers. It also is possible that an affirmative decision by the powers which would exclude the United States from participating in the dis cussion on the important point, might be extended to put us out of China altogether. The Law of Associations. Paris, March 26-The Chamber of Deputies today entered upon the discussion of Article 15 of the laws of associations bili, which deals with the properiy of illegal associations An amendment of small importance was adopted aud the Chamber ad? journed. . During the afternoon the premier, M Waldeck Rousseaux, was in conference with the special committee having the bill in charge, and an important modification was made ,in, Article 17, which provides for -the disposal of the property of congregations confiscated under the bill Instead of being devoted to old age pensions, this property will be utilized for the assistance of children, old people and persons sick and in? curable* for whom no special founda tion [exists, as well as the necessitous members of the dissolved congrega tiona .

GAINING ON ENGLAND, The wonderful development of cot ton manufacturing in this section bas very properly caused the south to be regarded as a dangerous industrial rival not only of New England, but of old England as well With all bis fauits John Bull is candid fie has the sense to see when he is losing ground, and is frank enough to admit it In a recent interview Mr 8 An drew, secretary of the Oldham Master Spinners' assoc'ation, gave bis ver sion of the reasons why English cotton manufacturing is not more prosperous : "Time was when Great Britain was the chief cotton spinner in the world/' said Mr Andrew, "but though it is true that Great Britain contains more cotton spinning spin? dles than any other country, yet such ao increase bas been taking place in the rest of tbe world during the past few years that this country is losing ground in the universal competition Since 1885 the spindling spindles of Great Britain have only increased about 5,0o0,090, while in the reBi of the world they have increased 22, 000,000. In other words, while we have increased by one spindle the rest of the world has increased by over four. "Then, again, the time was when our spindles in Great Britain formed more than one half of the total cum ber in the world, and the hours of labor, though limited to 56J, were able to maintain their position in the universal race. But today the hours of labor stand as follows : Great Britain has 45,000,000 spindles, and the hours of labor are limited to 56? (and even that number has recently been reduced by the introduction cf the cleaning question), while the Test of the world owns 60,000,000 spin dies and runs an average of 70? hours, making 14 hours per week of difference in the nominal time ron. This must again be a serious indica tion of the trend of the cotton trade " The clearest ?leers and the most practical observers agree that tbe sooth is destined to become the great cotton manufacturing center of the world and it will not be very long either before that event occurs - Atlanta Joornal Denmark Makes an Offer. London, March 28-The Daily News publishes tbe following dis? patch from its Copenhagen corres? pondent : "I am enabled to state, on the very best authority, that Denmark has oommunicated to tbe United States the following condition for the sale of the Danish West Indies : "/First, $4,000,000. to be paid to Denmark " 'Second, the population to de? cide by vote whether to remain Danish or to be transferred to Amer? ica " -Third, if the vote is favorable to the United States then the inhabi? tants to become immediately not only American subjects, but American citizens " 'Fourth, products of the island to be admitted to the United States free of duty !* ' It is supposed here that Waeh? ington will not readily accept the third and fourth conditions " No Bight to Ugilness.

London, March 27 -Advices ie ceived here from Constantinople are to the effect that affairs are rapidly reaching a dangerous pass there. Turkish finances are in inextricable confusion. All government salaries are from six io eight months in arrears Upwards of a million Turk? ish pounds are due for war material, while the military expenditure is daily increasing, in order to cope with tho rebellion in the province of I Yemen, in southern Arabia, and the j possible rising in Macedonia There is no doubt that the Ottoman troops received a severe check at the hands of the Arab insurgents who, in a manifesto denouncing the sultan, proclaimed his brother, Mohammed Reshad Effendi, to be sultan, with j the title of Mohammed V. The j young Turk,8 pa^ty have adhered to j the Arabian proclamation, and the j open enmity to Abdul Damid, the j sultan, has spread to the palace and the sultan's advieers Izzet Bey ie said to be preparing for flight The patrols of Constantinople have been doubled. Mohammedans and Chris? tians are arri -ted hourly, and large numbers d?iiy shipped to Asia Minor The tension between Bulgarians and Mussulmans in Macedonia is extrema It is reported that another band of msrauders has crossed Bul? garia into Macedonia ?Ye gc feble Prep aration for As - simiiating foe?coclandRegula ting thc Stomachs andBoweisof i?^?SS??
