The prediction as to the attitude of Congress was made yesterday. by lead- of both House and Senate. The : of the Chinese people is based y upon th attitude. In edicts tssued by the Chin Emperor the people were urged to refrain from boy- American goods pending action by gress.

Gooding of ldaho. In addition to Gov- ernor and Mrs. Gooding, Colonel W. C. Hunter of the Governor's staff, Chief Justice and Mrs, C.

In exchange | for this privilege Na Tung was willing to define the classes of Chinese which should be granted entrance into the United States, thus authorizing this Government to exclude every one who failed to come directly within those classes. With Congress unyielding and treaty negotiations impossible of suc- cessful conduct, the President is con- fronted by the probability of a serious blow to American commerce in the | Orient. During the last year increase of export was chiefly to China, Japan and four other countries, amounting in | the case of the first named empire to | $41,000,000. Of this sum $23,500,000 was in cotton cloth, $10,000,000 in cop- per and $3,500,000 in mineral oils. e MRS. JACOBUS INCOMPETENT. OAKLAND, Dec. 9.—The effort on the part of Mrs. Honora C. Jacobus to be restored to capacity, she charging her children with {ll-treatment, result- ed to-day in Judge Ogden deolding that she was not in a fit condition to be allowed her Iiberty, owing to her fondness for liquor. For years her children had been fighting her appetite and finally had her declared incom- petent been -cxposed in the investigation of the insurance commission in New York—the separation between business and morals and the unscrupulous dis- regard of rights of which material suc- cess is at stake. \ « He declared, however, that the con- science of the people was everywhere awakening and there were signs of a | great moral upheaval, and that the chil- | dren should be the first to obtain the benefit. Dr. Samuel McCune Lindsay agreed with Dr. Adler that the number of chil- | dren employed throughout the country | was increasing faster than the efforts to cope with the situation. Dr. A. J. McKelway of Charlotte, N. | €., after stating that 91 per cent of the | children employed in manufacturing industries in the South were to be found in the four cotton growing, cot- { ton manufacturing States of North | Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, said: “It is a rude awakening that has come to our people, that the abolition of negro slavery marked the beginning of white child slavery; that our pet industry (cotton) is not differ- ent in the South froin what it was for a hundred years in Old and New Eng* land, an industry distinguished for long hours and low wages, and cursed by the employment of children on i larger scale and of tenderer years than any other industry of the world. In this year of the twentieth century there are 60,000 children in Southern cotton mills from 6 to 16 years old, toil- ing twelve hours a day or twelve hours i After the launching luncheon was served in the mold loft. BATTLESHIP OF FIRST CLASS. The Idaho is a sister ship to the Mississippi, which was launched on September 30, and will be a battleship of the first class. When finished she will be a conspicuous illustration of the im- portant factor electricity has become in the operating of a modern warship. Except for windlass and steering gear, practically all her other auxiliary ma- chinery will he run by electricity and her two military masts will be fittea with apparatus for wiréless telegraphy. The keelplates of the Idaho were lajd in May of last year. Mer specifications are: £ Length on water line, 375 feet; length over all. 382 feet: extreme beam, 77 feet; trial displacement on a draft of 24.8, 73,000 tons. The contract provides for a speed of feventeen knots. . 6 Motive power will be furnished by twin screw triple expansion engines of — a night, and reducing the wage scale to what is necessary for the support of a child instead of What will support a family or manhood wages. And the South is also awakening to the fact that its characteristic industry has so in- trenched itself behind all the commer- cial life of the South. that it is able to control legislation in opposition to the popular will that would express itself in the enactment of humane laws and their enforcement.” | a collective indicated horsepower of 10,000, steam being supplied to the cyl- inders by eight water bollers set in four water-tight compartments. CARRIES POWERFUL BATTERY. The main battery of the Idaho will consist of four 12-inch breechloadini rifles mounted jin two turrets; eight 8-inch breechloading rifies, mounted in four turrets; eight 7-inch breechload- ing rifles, placed behind casement ar- mor, and two 12-inch submerged tor- pedo tubes.
