Any Action for Sev=

Difficulty of Securing a Sat-,

The Excuse For

Washington, Juno 15 —It cau
bo stated unequivocally as the re
sult of today’s cabinet meeting
that no important action relating
to Cuba will he taken by the ad
ministration until the new minis
ter to Madrid has been chosen and
is at his post ready for the duties
of the mission. This fact is sig
nificant in that it means that some
weeks must certainly elapse before
the President will take any action
whatever vital to the relations of
this government and the island of
Cuba. The question was brought
up and discussed briefly today,
but the situation so far as Cuban
action is concerned is just the
same as it has been for weeks.
The difficulty of finding a man
satisfactory to the President to fill
the post at Madrid delays action,
and Mr. McKinley is no nearer a
a selection for the post than he
was at the beginning of the admin
istration. The delay is somewhat
vexatious to the administration,
which is anxious to begin negotia
tions with Spain looking to the
amelioration,' in some - form, of the
condition of affairs in Cuba as
speedily as possible. Several
names were talked over today,
but the discussion was fruitless.

but death would relieve me of my
suffering. In June, 1894, Mr. Evens,

foot and limb were swollen to more

an aeronaut, 23 years old, fell to
her death from a balloon. Mrs
Burno was making her regular
weekly ascent in her balloon,
which has risen nearly a half mile
in the air, when she cut Rose tie

As the woman jumped the para
chute opened safely, checking her
descent. But a wind carried the
frail craft towards the Tennessee
river, and befoie the spectators
realized the danger the parachute
and its daring occupant were de
scending upon the middle of the
stream.
Many visitors to Lookout moun

strike the water. The aeronaut
struggled to free herself, but the
airship was unmanageable and she
becoming entangled in tho ropes,
sank with the basket.

Will Use Chert,
The city authorities of Rome
have finally decided to use chert
for paving material on their
streets,- - -•
This conclusion was reached af
ter a committee had been
to Chattanooga to investigate the
merits of the different materials
used for paving in that city.
Broad street will be raised to
the standard grade established by
the city council, and will be pav
ed its entire length with chert.
Slag from iron furnaces will be 1
used as a base on which to place ;
the paving, this method having
found to give excellent satisfaction
in Chattanooga.
It is quite probable that the
chert will be obtained from the
mines near Summerville. A quan

to Chattanooga, and is thought to
be the best grade of any obtaina

THE SOUTH’S
RELIANCE.
Hundreds of Thousands of
Dollars For Cotton
Goods.
WHICH FORMERLY WENT EAST
New England Manufacturers
Inspect Southern Mills
and Make a Report—
Shows Great
Progress.
A knowledge of the amount and
variety of cotton goods manufac
tured in Southern mills would
doubtless astonish most people.
It is known in a general way that
the South has largely increased
its textile manufacturing indus
tries during the past few years,
but the extent of the increase and
the character and variety of goods
manufactured are only vaguely
known. An inspection of the cot
ton goods department of such a
house as Cowan, McClung & Co., of
Knoxville, for instance, would be
in the nature of a revelation to the
average citizen. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars which former
ly went to the East in payment of
this class of goods now to go to
Southern manufacturers. It is the
developement of home manufactu
ring that is more than anything
else bonefitting tho South. It is
making iron cheaper than any
other section in the world, and it
is the natural home of the cotton
manufacturing industry, which
has been so greatly developing dur
ing the past decade. Such etatea
as North Carolina, South Carolina
and Georgia have encouraged the
growth of manufacturing industries
by favorable laws, low taxes and
individual effort and enterprise.
Recently the New England cot
ton manufacturers sent a commit
tee of three leading manufacturers
and experts to inspect tho South
ern cotton mills and tho advan
tages the south offers as a manu
facturing section. Each of these
has made reports, all of which sub
stantial agree the following being,
chiefly, tho report of President
Sanford, of tho Sanford Spinning
Company.
“While the northern manufac
turer has been arguing and specu
lating as to what his Southern
competitor would be able to accom
plish, and while many people felt
no fear of any danger that the
South would be able to compete,
much to my astonishment I find
from a personal inspection during
the last ten days among some of
the mills of the South that they
have successfully solved the pro
blem of cotton manufacturing, and
are now making, and have been
making for some time, fabrics and
yarns to our New England mills,
and for less cost.
“They are selling them to our
customers, supplanting our pro
ductions to an alarming extent, and
from figures obtainable of cost of
same I find that they are enabled
in their finely euqipped and well
organized mills, by good and cheap
er labor, to make a profit, even un
present depressed market prices,
while our own New’ England mills
cannot manufacture without loss.
While this is a hard fact to face,
nevertheless the condition con
fronts us, and is no longer “theory’
or speculation, but fact. On Stain
fabrics and yarns, such as made
in Fail River, Red Bedford, Lowel
and New England generally, em
bracing goods and yarns up to and
including 40s, they are masters of
the situation and claim they will
soon make fabrics calling for 50s
and 60s yard.

There has been a great deal said
during the last five years about the
inefficiency of the Southern oper
ative, that ho is not able to do as
much work and as well as his
Northern competitor. I find tho
operatives are good native Amer
ican whites. They very quickly
adapt themselves to the work, are
• igerto learn, happy, contented,
with no tendency to strike or join
labor organizations. They want
work, are industrious, and are
proud of tho mills they work in,
Wood is used largely; two cords
of wood against one ton of coal,
costing for same $1.15 per cord, or
at the rate of $2.30 per ton for coat.
Coal also can bo had cheap, cost
ing, according to location $1.50 to
$2.50 per ton. Some mills located
on fine water powers are making
great saving. Alabama exempts
from taxation for ten years all cor
porations locating within her bor
ders.
In North n«oiiuu, South Car
olina and Georgia taxes are very
low. One mill which I visited,
having $250,000 investment, pay a
tax of only $240 per annum. Such
a mill in Fall River will pay $5,000
tax. Ail the large mills are pay
ing almost no tax to speak of.
Tho mills recently built and now
under construction by our loading
mill architects, located in tho
Piedmont belt, are the equal of
anything in New England, both in
design, construction and equipment
of machinery, nothing overlooked
to make them complete.
1 hey have also recutced tho cost
of bui ding of S2O per spindle for
merly down to sls and sl6, includ
ing for holo. Owing (o
being able to run day and night,
they are also equipping mills with
half of the machinery for carding
and spinning departments—say,
for running 1,000 looms—operat
ing their carding and spinning day
and night, thus supplying tho
looms for the day’s run. This en
ables them to get the production
of a 40,000 spindle mill, and hav
ing to buy equipment for only 20.-
000 spindles in carding and spin
ning rooms.
It is very clear we cannot stand
in Massachusetts any more adverse
legislation against our industries,
for the Southern mills can make
dividends, while their Northern
competitor are selling goods at
cost. And, in proof of this, many
of the Southern corporations have
been paying steady and continuous
dividends during the hard times of
, the last twelve months.”

It was whispered about yesterday in
a very confidential way and by respon
sible parties that the Southern Railway
will take immediate steps toward re
moving their tracks to some suburban
point in the city to avoid paying rent
on its present right of way. Tt is be
lieved by many that the change will
absolutely be made. The details of the
affair, if such it is, are being kept
quiet, which strengthens the belief
that there may be truth in the report.
