Norton, Mr. Whaley's coun? sel, said tonight in regard to the pe? tition : " While nominally it appears to be a large failure it is not nearly so bad as it looks. The obligations are distrib? uted from N?w York to South Caro? lina. Mr. Whaley was interested sim? ply in financing these southern mills, and, in a measure, they have fallen down." Trade Waves. v Acording to the New York Sun, * 'our aliare in the trade of foreign na? tions is susceptible of illustration by a series of wave lines whose force lessens as the distance from our borders increases. The rule bolds good with only a few comparatively insignificant vitiations. Os our north line lies Canada, to M bom we sell 60 per cent, of all ber imports. Northeastward. Nen found&nd comes to us for a bant 37 pei cent- of ber needs. Southward, our im? mediate neighbor is Mexico. She ob? tains from our market nearly 60 per cent, of her importations. So nh east? ward are Cuba, buying nearly 40 pei cent. : Hay ti. taking a similar per cent age; SantoDomingo, aking 55 per cent ., and the British West Indies, coming for about one-third of their imports. In the next trade wave to the south? ward there lie the states <>f Central America, giving us collectively abonl -27 per cent, of their trade. Colombia and Venezuela give us each about one third of the business. Following down the west coast, the rule holds good with Ecuador at 20 per cent. : Peru, 12 per cent., and Chili, 8 pei cent. Along the eastern coast Brazil gives us 9 per cent. : the Argentine, 10 per cent., and Uruguay, 6 pei cent. ; while the interior coun? tries are representd by Bolivia's Ui per cent, aud Paraguay's two-thirds of 1 per cent. Looking eastward, Englano gives ns 20 per cent, ol her trade: Germany, 13 per cent. Belgium, 10 per cent. : Spain. 9 pei cent. ; France, 8 per cen. : Italy, 9 pei cent., and Bossia, 2 per cent. West? ward, Japan gives us 16 per cent. China, ll per cent. : the Philippines, 12 per cent. : Australasia, about 1( per ceDt., and British India, abont : per cent. The regularity of all tbis ii more than a curious coincidence. Il is probable that it is a correct indica t?on of American trade conditions. We are not yet trade bunters in ar active and energetic way. and prox? imity to these markets appears to be ? strong factor in the trade which come.' to us almost without solicitation. Facility of transportation is evidently likewise a factor. The situation is a) least suggestive of large trade oppor run i ties by a little extension of com mercial activity wbicli would increase the force and volume of these wave lines."

Sec of Anti-trust League on -Roosevelt's Atitude. The Bureau of Corporations Intended to lasare Publicity Has Been Made One of Secrecy. ? Washington, D. C., Sept 20.-H. B. Martin, a national secretary of the American Anti-Trust league, has sent a letter to President Roosevelt bitter? ly attacking his attitude toward the trusts and flatly 'accusing him of bracking his word. Mr. Martin reminds Mr. Roosevelt that counsel for the Anti-Trust league repeatedly urg?d him in 2901,1902, 1903 and 1904 to prosecute half a dozen of the oldest, most powerful and most notorious offenders against the anti? trust law, and says : Fou will remember that after we had furnished, even personally handed to you at the. white house, positive documentary, convicting proofs of the guilt of these offenders, that both yourself and your attorney general made definite and positive promises that you would take up these cases. You will also remember how both yourself and yocr attorney general have brazenly broken your words and failed to keep your promises in, those cases.5' Mr. Martin points out that the one injunction against the Northern Secu? rities ; company was not pressed through to the supreme cu ort, and asserts that rumors are afloat that the hasty display of energy in that case was far more benefit to one of the rival syndicates, seeking a monopoly of Pacific railway lines than it was to the people. *fThree year3 ago, Mr. Martin goes ouy "the officers of the American Anti-Trust league placed in the pos? session' of your administration positive proofs, inconestable documentary evidence of flagrant and enormously oppressive and incurious violations of the law on the part of half a dozen of the greatest trusts in the United States. . Both you and your attorney general repeat?dly promises, some? times orally and sometimes in writing, that these cases would be taken up and proceeded with. Every one of these promises yon have broken." Mr. Martin denies the president's claim that the bureau of corporations was a Republicans measure, declaring it ?as put through by a Democratic representative. "And what have you done with the bureau of corporations since it was organized?" Mr. Martin asks. "You appointed your secretary, Mr/1 Cortel you, as head of that department and then, after he collected all the data possible about violations of the law on the part of the trusts, did you transmit these data in a proper report to congress or the people? On, no ! "The bureau of corporations, which was intended as a bureau of publi? city, yen have made a bureau of sec? recy, and you transferred Mr. Cortel you from head of that department, with ali this secret information about the trusts in his possession, to the position of chairman of the Republi? can' national committee, where he can use this information to sandbag con? tributions out, of the trusts for your j campaign as president "Against all the hundreds, aye, thousands, of men who have been prac? ticing plunder and extortion upon the people in violation of the anti? trust law which provides for their punishment, you and your attorney general have never caused a single warrant to issue, nor. a single arrest to be made, nor the conviction of a single one to be secured. "Nay, even worse, for to the most powerful and notorious of these offenders against the anti-trust law, the proofs of whose criminality had already been placed in your hands, you extended the hospitalities of the white house and treated them in 3very way as if you were not perfectly aware that they were.-guilty of one of the meanest, most monstrous and most inexcusable offenses of modern times. And you in return accepted their hos? pitality. You accepted gifts of great value Irom men whom you knew were lawbreakers." American Kills Himself in London. ?

Rock Hill, Sept. 21.- The first reg? ular appointment for Winthrop Col? lege was met by the assembling of all pupils and teachers in the auditorium at noon today. President Johnson is absent. He had taken his vacation during the month of August, and has been detained by a temporary indis? position which prevented him from leaving Atlantic City at the time ex? pected. He has appointed Dr. J. P. Kinard, the head of .the department ol' English, to act in his stead. Tbe number applying for admission to Winthrop is greater than that of any previous session. The number of new pupils, which could he admitted, was about 150, but the number of ap? plicants is over 1,000. Nearly all the pupils who have been admitted were present this morning, j.

RUSSIANS ARE MAKINS THEIR LAST STAND FOR POSSESSION OF THE GAPITAL OF MANCHURIA. Japanese Urgently Need Mukden For Winter Quarters and Will Make a Desperate Effort to Take lt. ! Mukden, Sept. 22, 1 p. nu-A battle is expected hourly to begin in the vi? cinity of Fushun, thirty miles to the east of Mukden. St. Petersburg Review of Situation. St. Petersburg, Sept 22.-There is further delay in the receipt of decisive news from the front. The situation at Port Arthur remains a blank, though it is felt that important developments may be even now occurring there. The movements in the north are still of a tentative and preparatory charac? ter on?botli sides, which have not yet crystalized into a definite clash of forces at any one point. A resumption of the Japanese advance is now expect? ed to occur any day. It is the third week since the fighting at Liao Yang, and the Japanese have had time to transport reinforcements from Yinkow and bring up sufficient men to the front to replace their losses, but it is not improbable that several days will intervene before the armi?s come to close quarters. The interval is being devoted on both sides to feeling out the strength and disposition of the op? posing forces. The Japanese will probably attempt to capture the passes of the Da Moun? tain range, running half way between the Hun and Taitse Rivers. The pos? session of these passes is important for the Japanese, as it will not only^ enable them to march northward, but also screen the movements of thetr, troops from the prying gaze of Rus? sian scouts. It is fully appreciated here that the Japanese must try for the possession of Mukden, as otherwise it will be diffi? cult for them to provide their army with winter quarters. Liao Yang does not afford sufficient accommodation, although many houses there escaped destruction in the recent battle. Movable huts are quite unsuitable for the housing of .Tapanee, owing to the severity of the climate. The aver? age winter temperature there is forty degrees below zero, and the cold is intensified by continual winds and an almost entire absence of snow. In spite of this, however, the campaign will probably continue during the win? ter if the Japanese succeed in getting into Mukden. In this contingency, Gen. Kuropatkin, for various reasons, will not be likely to allow the Japa? nese to remain in undisturbed posses? sion pf this point, which is important not only from a strategic but the poli? tical point of view. Gen. Kuropatkin Reports Losses. St.. Petersburg, Sept. 22.-Gen. Kuropatkin's reports under yester? day's date that there is no change in the situation about Mukden. He adds : "A small detachment of the enemy moved from Bueniaputize towards Kaeutoulie in order to penetrate north of Daling pass. The indica? tions are that the enemy is endeavor? ing tc flank our left Our losses at Daling Monday were one officer kill? ed, ten wounded, three men killed, forty-five wounded. The exact Rus? sian losses at the battle of Liao Yang were 54 officers killed, 257 wounded ; 1,810 men killed, 12,023 wounded." St. Petersburg, Sept. 23.-Gen. Ku? ropatkin reports that the Japanese ro? da}-assumed the offensive and have ad? vanced from Benaipudzeto Finseitulin which is twenty versts from Mukden. Jap Success at Port Arthur. Tokio, Sept. 22.-3 p. m.-While of? ficial confirmation is lacking, it seems certain that the Japanepe possess a fort on another height westward of Itzshan, which they carried by desper? ate assaults, and have sauce resisted all attempts to recapture by the Rus sians. Both these heights overlook Port Athur, offering -excellent gun positions, which materially weaken the Russian defence. Jap Victory at Oailina Poss. St Petersburg, Sept. 2:5.- A dis? patch received here from .Mukden states that the Japanese haye carried I Dai ling Pass by assault, after a devas I tating fire from all arms. The Rus I sians lost 280 men. j Rome, Sept. 23.-A telegram to the ? newspaper fri buna asserts that the Japanese headquarters have been transferred from Liao Yang: to Ventai.

THE HUNTSVILLE INQUIRY, If Appears io be Developing Into an Investigation of the Whole National Guard of Alabama. . Huntsville, Ala., Sept. 21.-The military Court of Inquiry resumed its examination of witnesses today rela ive to the conduct of officers and men of Company F. in connection with the lynching of Horace Maples, col? ored. Lieut. Morgan Smith was the only witness and his testimony substan? tiated that of former witnesses. Col. Frazer, president of the Court, stated that the purpose of the inquiry was to ascertain if there is incompeten? cy among the officers of this company ; to discover who are the incompetents, and ascertain who is responsible for their continuing to hold commissions in the National Guard. He declar? ed the investigation may go even be? yond this company. At the afternoon session of the Court Jailer Giles testified that sev? eral of the men of Company F. were so badly frightened that they were worse than useless in the defence of the jail. Some of the men, he claimed, took refuge under beds and in closets of the building, when the mob was be? sieging the jail. Sheriff Rogers testi? fied that he gave orders to the compa? ny to take care of the jail and guard the prisoner. He did not order the men upstairs, he claims but gave the command for them to assemble inside the building. Practically every man in the company testified that they con? sidered themselves under the orders of the sheriff. The court finished tak? ing testimony this afternoon, and will make a report to the Governor at an early date. George Frame, a merchant of Dal? las and Tom Winkle, a cotton mill operative, were arretsed late today for alleged complicity in the lynching. Wnkle is charged with arson and Frame with murder. Huntsville. Ala., Sept. 22.-Thomas M. Riggins was acquitted tonight of the charge of murder in the first de? gree, in connection with the lynching of Horace Maples. The case made put by the prosecution in the trial today was weak, and there as no convincing evidence connecting the defendant with the mob. The Great Cotton Kinp. Secretary Hester, of the New Orleans cotton exchange', has reviewed the cotton crop, and his fingres and facts are most interestingr He shows that the commercial crop for 1903-4 was slighty in excess cf ten million bales. This is the lowest since 1899-1900, yet this has been the most! valuable crop ever raised in the South." Though it was 700,000 bales lower than the pre? ceding season, it was worth $137,000, 000. Though it was 670,000 bales less than the crop of 1901-02 it was worth $180,000,000 more. Though it was I, 283,000 bales lesg than the bumper crop of 1898-99, it was worth $335,000, 000 more. A difference of a million and a quarter; bales made the small crop worth more than twice as much as the big crop. He estimates that the average value of cotton per bale,*?or 1903-04 was $61. 68, and this would give a total valua? tion of $617,501,58 for the crop. This by no means represents the actual "value of cotton production for the year. There is half a ton of seed to every bale of cotton and this would make over 5,000,000 tons for the entire crop. Every ton of seed will produce 36 gallons of oil valued at $10.80, 750 pounds of meal valued at $7.50, 30 pounds of linters worth" $1.50, and 750 pounds of hulls worth $1.12, mak? ing a total of $20.92. The value of these by-products for the, season just closed is therefore about $105,000,000, which, added to the value of cotton, would make about $722,000,000. Of this sum the transportation eoni panies get about $100,000,000. To the American mills the planters sold 3,946,219 bales; of this 2,026,967 went to Northern mills and 1,919,252 to Southern mills. So that the South is rapidly gaining on the North, in this respect, as to manufacture. Think of the great army of men making and handling this one South? ern crop and its by-products. Think of the euormous value cf this one crop, and its'importance to the whole world After that experience of last season, we do mo wonder that European na? tions are frantically or adventurously searching everywhere in Asia and Af? rica to find a cotton region to rid them of dependence upon the South. They may ultimately do so, but it is doubtful. For many years they will fail and, we think, always. The Soutli holds the primacy and is apt to keep it. A great future is be? fore her and we surmise that at no distant period, New England will wish that sne baa not pushed race is? sues to such extremities as war, since one of the results will be largely lier own undoing.-Augusta Chronicle.

I WANT ANOTHER PEAGE GQNFERENCL President Roosevelt Requested to Cal! an International Conference Similar to That Held at The Hague. Washington, Sept. 23.-A scene which will probably become historic will be enacted in the White House tomorrow afternoon. Members of the Inter Parliamentary ?nion repre? senting the Parlaments of the world united to advance the principles of arbitration will then formally call upon President Koosjevelfc to. invite tlie nations to participate in a* peace conference, similar to that held five years ago at the Hague. Resolutions to the effect were adopted at a confer? ence of the Union at St.' Louis. The Cost of Office. It was not squeamish, to put it gently, in President Roosevelt to put bis corporation invesigator in the job of raising money for election purposes from the corporations. Squeamish? ness, however, is not the President's long snit. The appointment of Mr. Cortelyou to this position had one advantage which deserves respect apart from the probability that the money is being used with less cheerful disregard of moral rules than char? acterized Mr. Cortelyou's predecessor. By having in the position a confi? dential acqaaintnce, Mr. Roosevelt will knew just what he is committed to as the price of office. For over three years now^,he has been held up on every hand by people who claimed to hold promises from President Mc? Kinley. "When you sard you would carry out McKinley'? policies, it im? plied, of course, that you would also make McKinley's promised appoint? ments, ' ' they have argued." The Pre? sident has reaped much advantage from Mr. McKinley's ability to dis? cover able men, but he has, on the other hand, suffered frequently the supposed necessity of making appoint? ments that were distasteful to him. He may not be able to judge men's talents as shrewdly his predecessor, but for what he do2, after the 4th of next March he alone.will be respon >i ble, and this responsibility of freedom ought' to result in a lessened influence for the professional politicians. Mr. Cortelyou's conduct of the campaign should have the samo result. If any promises are made in return for funds, they will be ojiy these to which the President consents, and he will fcnow precisely what they are.-Collier's for September 24. The Stomach is the Man.

For many years it has been supposed that Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly thc opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re? peated attacks of indigestion inflames the mucous membranes lining the stomach and exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus? ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of the juices of natural digestion. This is called Catarrh of the Stomach.
