VOL X HO HURRY ABOUT CUBA. President Will Not Take Any Action for Sev= era! Weeks. MAKES HASTE SLOWLY. Difficulty of Securing a Sat-, isfactory Man For The Spanish Mission Is The Excuse For Delay. 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. 1 lealth Moans a perfect condition of the whole system. Pure blood is essential to perfect health.

A FEMALE BALLCQNIST, Is Drowned In Sight of The Horror Stricken Peo ple—Her Body Recovered. Chattanooga, June 15.—1 n the sight of 3,000 visitors at a pleasure g ’ound near here Edith Le Burno, 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 parachute. 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 tain saw the parachute and woman 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. A fisherman went to the rescue ami with a boathook brought Mrs Le Burno to tho surface. At-] tempts to resuscitate her Mrs. Le Burno was born i byville, Tenn.

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.

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 ity of this material was shipped to Chattanooga, and is thought to be the best grade of any obtaina ble.

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. ws.

Royal Baking Powder Co. New York. ■- I' ii . l -J“IlJl 1 hi 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.
