ANERICAN COTTON IN JAPAY | Used Almost Excluively, but it All Has Come Throngh Liverpool. FRE!GHT RATES SHUT OUT DIRECT TRADE Can Be Shipped to mission ngland, I'ay a Com- » Mrokers and Be Reshipped eaper Than by the Direct Route. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8—The State de- partment Is in recelpt of a report from United States Consul Mclvor of Kanagawa, Japan, upon the manufacture of cotton fab- ries from Amerlean cotton, pointing out the great opportunity now afforded the United States to open up direct trade with Japan. He says: ‘“Japanese manufacturers are each year improving the grade of their cot- ton fabrics, and are thus demanding a larger proportion of our cotton, which is the only long staple cotton which can be used in their machines economically; yet by far the greater proportion of this supply of large American cotton is purchased in Liverpool and London “The supposed explanation of this peculiar condition is that the ocean rates from Eng- land to Japan are much less than the com- bined rallway and ocean rates from any inland point of this country to Japan. If these statements are true, our people are los- ing eelling commission, or profit, and the marine insurance and freightage on a product _which s distinctly an American staple. Remcmbering that the market here Is not one that is to be opened up and de- veloped, but is already made, and that the demand for the American product is not only great, but Increasing, it might be possible for our great cotton (nterests, acting In har- mony with our transcontinental —raflway lines, to establish direct trade, which would even on a much lower rate swell the profits of the railways and greatly increase the gencral profits arising from American for- eign trade. We might thus, if successful, gain direct control of a trade which would not only turn legitimate profits into Ameri- can channels, but a much broader and far- reaching advantage would be gained by giv- ing us an Independent market, thus materi- ally weakening and ultimately destroying the right which today Liverpool is supposed to excrcise of fixing the price of our cotton in our own markets, on the theory that she controls the only market for our product.” Melvor adds thal the present time is very opportune for attempting to extend our trade with Japan, and points to the significant fact that during last year our importation from that country exceeded $17,000,000, while our exports were but $3,000,000. WO GOT THE BOUNTY, Loulsluna Uane Growers Received the Bulk of the Money. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8—The reported ac- *jon of the sugar planters' convention at Jew Orleans yesterday, favoring an alliance with the republican party on natlonal is- su's, on the ground that they had been be- trayed by the democratic party in lenying them protection for sugar, calls attention to the subject of sugar bounty. The records of the Treasury department show that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1894, the p ments as_bounty on sugar ageregatxd §$12 099,899, of which amount $11,114,200 was on cane sugar, $852,176 on beet sugar, §17,312 on sorghum and $116,121 on maple. Of the bounty on cane sugar $10,868,869 wax paid ) producers in the state of Louisiana, 166 to those In Texas, $22,113 in Florida and $166 in Mississippl. The record also sliows that the $11,114,290 bounty on came sugar was paid to 578 producers, which makss an avirage of $19,195.66 to each producer. The amount paid as bounty on beet sugars w divided among seven producers or factories, making the average payment to each $12 739. This, however, represents only a small proportion of the b neficiaries under the zet, as each factory handles the crops of a large number of growers. This Is also true of the cane factories, only the proportion of factor- fes to producers is believed to be much while, of course, many persons are em- ployed In the work, and are indirect bene- ficlaries. The figures on acreage for the year ended June 30, 1894, are not yet all in, but thos: for the preceding year show that in the state of Louisiana the bounty av- eraged $47.52 for each acre of cane pro- duced, in Texas $37.60 per acre, and in Flor- ida $38.23 per acre. It is believed that the avirage bounty per acre of cane produced in Loulsiana for the year ended June 30, 1894, will be about $53, TROUBLE FOR NAVY OFFICERS, Maving & Hard Time Mirking Out a Trial A irse for the Ericeson. . WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—The officers of the Navy department are having some dif- ficulty in laying out a course in Long Island sound for the trial of the Ericcson. There have been several consultations be- tween Admiral Ramsey and tHe bureau chiefs, but as yet a plan has not been en- tirely decided on. The trouble is that the ship Is s0 small and the time, “‘two hours," so short, that jt is difficult to anchor buoys 80 the distance of two miles can be accurately measured. The Ericcson must make twenty- four knots an hour or she will be rejected The contractors insist the trial must take place in deep water. The Navy department cannot obstruct the sound, and it must anchor its buoys, marking the course with curacy, One end of the course may be marked by the light house, but this is im- possible at the other end. It is probable the buoys will be anchored by several chains in order that they may not be displaced by the tide movements. It the Ericcson should make twenty-four and one-quarter knots, she will earn a premium of §2,500 and $1,000 for each additional quarter knot. The contrac- tors insist upon an accurate course in deep water, so she can make the fastest possible speed. RULING ON IAE FISH SCHEDULE, ¥resh Fishe Not Forelgn Will Be Charged Ten Per Cent. WASHINATON, Sept. 8.—The collector of customs at Cape Vincent, N. Y., has raised & question of construction of the mew tariff act as (o the rates of duty on fish, He re- ports that one cf the principal articles of mport at that polat is flsh brought over in most cases the day they are caught. Section 481 of the mew act places ‘‘fish, frozen or packed In ice, fresh,” on the frce list. But these fish are neither frozen mor packed in ice. Section 211 imposes a duty ¢f 20 per cent on fish In cans or packed in any other manner not specifically enumerated or pro- vided for in this act. The Cape Vincent fish, however, are not “packed In any way.” The only provisicn of the act which can be made to apply o the cate in point is section 8, which imposes a duty of 10 per cent ad valorem *‘on the Importation of all raw or unmanufactured articles not enumerated cr provided for in this act. The collector will be Instructed to lovy a 10 per ceat duty. Patents to Weatern knventors. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—(Special to The Bee.)—Patents have been issued as follows: Nebraska—Webb W. M.

Transfers in the Indian Serviee WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Much additional work has been imposed upon the clerical force of the Indlan bureau by a large number ©of transfers of fidd employes between the warious reservations. For about three wogks the regular work of the bureau has been materially clogged by the routine mat- ters incidental to the transfer orders. Dr. Hallman, the superintendent of Indlan schools, has devoted his attention to the work since his return from the west, and already the transfers of several hundred teachers in the service have been ordercd.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Secretary Carlisle 18 expected on Monday to render a decision on claims for sugar bounties prior to Augnst 27, 1894, when the new tariff bill became a law. The amount involved is absut $260 000. The s:cretary will hold that under the law he is nct only unauthorized to make these payments, but is specifically instructed by the new tariff act not to pay them. The sugar producers, on the other hand, contend that congress has no right and did not int:nd to prohibit the payment of bounties on sugar produced while the act of 1590 was in force, and that the licenses entered under that act are in the nature cf contracts and varry with them the obligation of th: government to pay bountles provided for by that act, These licenses expire annually on June 30.

HOLDREGE ANDHIS HE\ICII\IE Terr bly Private Meeting of the Purlinzton Czar and the Maj rs Crew. { AFRAID THINGS ARE NOT JUST RIGHT Ninth Warders Organize to Send Thurston to the Senate—Davis and Powers Ad- dress the Populists—Local Politi- eal Move nis. It Is an open secret that of the Majors campaign are almost com- pletely discouraged over the total lack of enthusiasm which has greeted the latest at- tempt of the blue-shirted statesman to break into the executive office. The republican campaign was formally opened in Omaha Friday night. Ordinarily a republican open- ing night would draw out several thousand people. Friday night, humiliating as the statement may be to the pride of the Majors contingent, less than 400 people gathered to listen to the candidate for governor. Con- servative men place the number at a lower figure than that. Yesterday the railroad that something must Important conferenc noon, at il were the managers managers be done at once. An took place in the after- which Majors, Russell and Church- present. In addition, Charlie Morrell, chairman of the republican state central committee. The confe 1ce was not held at republican headquarters at the Millard, but at the private office of George W. Holdrege, general manager of the B. & M. rallroad. What took place at that meeting the public may readily judge for itself. The spectacle of the railroad czar of Nebraska calling the republican candidates for three of the most important offices on the state ticket into his private office for a conference shows plainly enough who |s managing the gubernatorial candidate in the present campaign. realized there was DAVIS ANO POWERS TA rgely Attended Popuiist Mass Meet defferson Yquare. Last night 700 or 800 voters of the city thered around the steps of the Meadimber Carriage factory for the purpose of hearing “Cyclone’’ Davis of Texas discuss the po litlcal issues of the coming political cam- paign from a populist standpoint. As a preface to the speech of the evening John H. Powers entertained the crowd with a discussion of affairs as he averred they existed at the present time. Turning his at- tention to land matters of the United States, he opined that 120,000,000 acres of the land was owned by forelgn noblemen who com- pelled the people of this country to pay them a tribute, thus enriching the coffers of Great Britain and at the same time making the poor of America poorer. Mr. Powers avowed that in times gone by he was a Jef- fersonian democrat, and that at a later period n his existence he was a Lincoln republican, but now he was a populist, and was proud of it, knowing that he belonged to a party that ‘was of the people and for the people. When introduced by Chairman Taylor Mr. Davis was greeted by a reception that ought to have made any man feel ud, after which he plunged into the subject which he had up for discussion. If a democrat be lieved first in his party and then in liberty and the government of his country; if a republican believed In his party and the supremacy of the American government, bota were considered in a correct position from a party view, but that was not the thing, as in both instances the positions should be re- versed and then they would be pretty well up in the populist ranks. Both the old par- ties were willing to admit that there was something wrong, but neither of them was ready to remedy the wrong, nor were they anxlous to find where it existed. Touching upon the land question, Mr. Davis expressed the opinion that there was enough land leased in the United States to create twenty-two commonwealths, all of which was now in the hards of corporations and for- elgn noblemen, The lawmakers of the country, Mr. Davis declared, had been subsidized by the mone power into giving away the free land that belonged to the people until it was apparent that no government could stand that trust:d its financial affairs to the control of cor- porations. It was a case of John Brown being dead and his soul ma:ching on. Both of the old parties were trying to kill popu- lism, but the soul of the movement was marching on and eventually it would win the vietory for which it was fighting. Democrats were fighting for the priv ciples of Jefferson and republicans were fight- ing for the principles of Lincoln, but if the leaders of the two parties were placed be- neath a hydraulic press and the Jefferson and Lincoln prineiples extracted, there would not be enough of eithzr to fill the eye of a gnal. Tarift was the remedy that both parties wanted to apply, the democrats want- ing tariff reform and the republicans wanting reform tariff, and there they fought, pulling the wool over the eyes of the people aud keeping their noses comstantly upon the grindstone. The money question was length, the speaker quoting figures 1 statements to prove that his position was the correct one, after which he advocated the ownership of the railways and telegraph lines by the government. ng at discussed at o Declaration of War—Street Parade Given for Searcity of tiorses MASSILLON, O..
