Reference is also made to Hie fact
fhnt there is at present nothing to
prevent tho cotton corporations of
Massachusetts from putting all the
incut v they want to in southern mills,
Tho report will prove that cotton
manufacturing in the south is not a
mm industry, but that since 1892 there
has sprung up in that section eondi
UonS favorable to Massachusetts end*
tafists, In substantiation of this,
there will appear a long array of fig
nrefl which will give some surprising
results. The'ropurt
will speak hopefully of
tho scheme of establishing mills near
cotton fields, or near coal mines, as
cheapness will be equalized by expen
ses in another direction.
The report will give the following
seven distinct causes which are attraet
ing land the cotton Industrie? of New Eng
to the south; nearness to cotton
fields, cheap tenements, cheap coal,
mild climate, low taxes, abundant wa
tor power, and abundant- restrictive
labor laws,
The labor question, which is really
the important part of the report, is
where the division of tho committee
is really the greatest, as the portion of
the report submitted advises national
legislation on the hours of labor for
women and children and asks that the
commonwealth take steps tbward se¬
curing such legislation.

JESUP, Gx\., THURSDAY, APRIL 11.18Srr>.
SILVER ADVANCING,
SUPPLY AND DEMAND JUSTIFY
THE RISE IN PRICE,
Helped by the Prospective Conference
and the Eastern War.
Commenting on the position of the
silver market the London Times says
that the free speculation in silver the on
the likelihood that the cessation of
Chino-Japanese war would create have «
large demand for the metal may
to wait longer for the desired result
than they imagine. The idea is cer¬
tainly well founded. This, the Time#
thinks, in addition to a general belief
that the coming conference will assist
silver, is the principal cause of the ad¬
vance in price. It is not would likely, how¬
ever, that these causes be ef¬
fective if it were not for the fact that
tho production of the metal has been
restricted by its recent, cheapness.
The Times believes that silver was
too cheap at 28, and that notwith¬
standing the rise to 30 was caused by
speculation, the conditions of supply
and demand Justify it.
The Australian colonies have in¬
structed their agents general at Lon¬
don to urge upon the British govern¬
ment first, to permit each colony fobs
represented directly in any interna¬
tional silver conference that may be
called, or, if that may not be consid¬
ered advisable, that the colonies con¬
jointly may bo allowed direct ropre
tation.
Several of tho colonies, notably
South Australia, produce silver, but
while their own mints aro allowed to
Coin gold, all receive their silver coin
from the imperial mint in England.
The bimetallic talk in Europe is
given by some as a factor in the bullish
tendency of silver, but that is open to
argument. Prices of exchange for
eastern markets—India, China and
Japan—have risen, and that has helped
in the upward trend of prices for the
metal.
As a matter of fact the transactions
in the bullion itself greatly overshadow
those in the certificates. Be the
causes what they may, tho rise in silver
has been steady and sure, and Wall
street is beginning to wonder just how
long it will be before the tide is at
flood.
THE G. 8. & F. SOLD.
Purchased by tho Bondholders for
$.{,000,000.
The Georgia Southern and Florida
railroad was sold at Macoa, Ga., Tues¬
day morning at 11 o’clock under order
of the court. The upset price, $-1,000,
000, was bid by the bondholders’ com
matter, and that was the only bid
made.
Mr. J. L. Hardeman, acting as spe¬
cial commissioner, put the road up for
Bale. A bid of $3,000,000 was made
by Mr. Skip-worth Wilmor, tho attor
ncy for the bondholders’ committee,
and the property was knocked down
to him, Mr, AVilmer had previously
put up a certified cheek for $50,000 as
required by the order of the court.
The first mortgage bonds of the road
amount to $3,420,000. It will bo ne¬
cessary for the court to confirm the
sale. The court will convene on April
15, and at that time the judge will pass
upon the sale.
This is the third time the road has
been put up on the block, the last
time, about two weeks ago, the upset
biff price matte, was $3,750,000 aud : there sata was to no be

WILSON SWORN IN.
He Takes the Oath of Office as Post¬

A Washington special says: Con¬
trary to expectations Hon. W. L. Wil¬
son took the oath of office as postmas¬
ter general Wednesday, Chief Jus¬
tice Miller appeared at the poatoffiee
department at 11 a. na. and adminis¬

principal officials of the department.
Airs Fuller, wife of the chief Justice,
and Miss Wilson, daughter of the new
postmaster general, were present at
the ceremony, Mr. Bissc-ll and Mr.
Wilson conferred for a short time and
saw some of the heads of the bureaus.
Then Postmaster Dayton, of New'
York, introduced John N. Parsons,
president oi the Letter Carriers’ Asso¬
ciation of New' York, and the latter,
on behalf of the carriers, presented
the retiring postmaster general with
an engrossed copy of resolutions pass¬
ed by the association commending the
administration of Mr. Bisseli, hia in¬
dorsement of the 8-hour law, and bis
extensions of the civil service law's.
In the afternoon Mr. Bisseli receiv¬

a hickory walking stick which he had
himself cut and trimmed from the
grounds of the president’s summer
home at Woodley,
Shortly after these preliminaries the
employes of Mr. the department were in¬
troduced to Wilson and said good¬
bye to Mr. Bisseli. Mr. Wilson will
enter the active discharge of his du¬
ties at once.
BURBRIDGE SAYS BLUFF.
His Comment Regarding Governor
Mitchell’s Message,
A copy of Governor Mitchell’s mes¬
sage to the legislature of Florida was
shown James Burbridge, who is now
at Cleveland, O. He was asked what
effect it would have on the Corbett
Fitzsimmom. fight. Burbridge is a
prominent member of the Duval Ath¬
letic club. He said:
“There if! nothing in it but bluff
and bluster. Nothing but Fitzsim¬
mons’ failure to post, the remainder of
his stake or the death of the princi¬
pals will prevent this fight irom com¬
ing off in Jacksonville next Septem¬
ber. Mitchell has no influence with
the legislature. Be is known as ft
gruff old fellow, bull-headed and per¬
severing, The legislature will take no
action on his recommendation,because
leading business men and politicians
of Florida compose the Duval Athletic
club. We know to a letter what will
be done, and have recently given Cor¬
bett and Fitzsimmons $1,000 each for
training expenses.”
RHODE ISLAND REPUBLICAN.
The Democrats Snowed Viiiter -IAp
pltt for Governor.
The democrats of Rhode Island were
simply snowed under at Wednesday's
election. The returns indicate a gen¬
eral falling off in the democratic vote
of about 40 per cent. The vote was
exceedingly light, but Lippitt., repub¬
lican, for governor, is elected by a
largely increased majority. The en¬
tire republican state ticket ia elected.
The democrats will retain at least their
present representation of five in the
legislature. In two or three towns
there was some interest owing to con¬
tests on local issues, but apathy was
shown in most instances. East provi¬
dence and Pawtucket voted license af¬
ter a hard fight, and Coventry, for the
first time in its history, voted to be

OSCAR IN JAIL.

HE SUES THE MARQUIS AND IS
HIMSELF INDICTED
And Will be Tried on Charges 01
Nameless Crimes,
The suit of Oscar Wilde against the
Marquis of Quecnsborry came to a
sudden and unexpected termination at ;
London Friday, shortly after the third ;
day s proceedings were begun in the i \
Old Bailey before Justice Collins.
Bir Edwin Clarke, leading counsel
for the plaintiff, asked permission on
behalf of his client to withdraw tho
suit, and submit to a verdict of not
guilty in regard to the words “Posing
aa a -—written by the Marquis of
Quecnsborry on tho card loft by the
marquis at the Albemarle Club for
Wilde, on February 18, and which
card formed the outward basis of the
suit.
The jury, under instruction from
Justice Collins, returned a verdit of
“not guilty,” coupled with the state¬
ment that tho justification set up as a
defense by the Marquis of Queensborry
was true in substance and in fact, and
that the statement complained of was
published for tho public good,
BECEIVEI) WITH ATPI.AT'SIG
The verdict was received with ap¬
plause, which waa not cheeked by the
presiding justice and I ho Marquis of
Queensborry tody and was .discharged from cus¬
left the court triumphant,
smiling and surrounded by his friends.
Shortly afterwards, it was announc¬
ed that a warrant for the arrest of Os¬
car Wilde was to be applied for, all the
papers in tho case having been sub¬
mitted to the public prosecutor.
WrW'E PDBMSHBS A OABD.
Oscar Wilde haa written a letter to
the newspapers in which he says ; “It
was impossible to prove my case with¬
out putting .Lord Alfred Douglass in
the witness box against his father.
Lord Alfred was extremely anxious to
go into ths box, but 1 should not al¬
low it. Bather than put him in such
a position I determined to retire the
case and bear upon my own shoulders
whatever shame and ignominy might
result from not prosecuting the Mar¬
quis of Queensborry.”
Oscar Wilde was arrested later at
the Cadogan hotel.
Qt'EBNKBERlir’S MESSACtE TO WTTiJlE.
In an interview the marquis of
Queensberry said to a representative
of the United Press:
“I have sent this message to Wilde;
“ ’If tho country allows you to
leave, all the better for tho country,
but if you take my son with you, I
will follow you wherever yon go and
shoot you.
Froliman Strikes 'Wilde's Name.
Mr. Froliman, of the Lyceum thea¬
ter, at New York, where Oscar Wilde’s
play, “An Ideal Husband,” is now
running, has decided, on account of
the termination of the suit against
Wilde, to have the playwright’s name
erased from all the bills and programs
of the theater. All their printing con¬
tracts have been canceled in order to
admit of those changes being made in
the advertisements also. No change
will be made in the play itself, howev¬
er, as tho managernont of the Lyceum
hold that it is a clearly wholesome pro¬
duction.

that they at least would bo paid,
whether the lessees of the penitentiary
were ever paid or not. Colonel Jero
Baxter has been making promises for
over a year that creditors would bo

filed their bill asking for a foreclosure

all along the line, which in turn is aid¬

coal miners. In Iowa a large number
