Cotton to Be Manufactured Extensively by Our Southern Neighbor. Washington, June 15. There has been more building in tho past twelve months In Bahia, Brazil, than for the same period in any previous year and much more Is projected for the ensuing year, writes United States Consul McDaniel.

A company has just been formed in Bahia with a paid-up capital of $1,600,000. which will soon have a factory, the largest in Brazil, designed to contain 2,000 looms. Of these 1,200 will be used for weaving calicoes, and light domestics, and S00 for colored cloths, cotton cheeks, stripes, heavy cottonades, etc. At present 720 looms of the factory are in operation and about 4.')0 hands are employed, the production being about 150,000 yards of cloth per week.

CARLISLE AT LOUISVILLE.

The Secretary of the Treasury Talks Against Silver. Louisville, Ky., June 15. Secretary Carlisle last evening made an address on the currency question. He repeated his argument that the undervalued metal would be driven out of the country by the adoption of a bimetallic system, and at some length paid attention to the claims that the fall In ttie price of silver was due to its demonetization. He said: "It Is Insisted that the fall in the price of silver Is attributable to the legislation In Germany, the United States, France and various other countries during and since the year 1873, and most lllogically it is also insisted that notwithstanding the reduced price of that metal is the result of the unfriendly action of a great many governments acting in concert and with a settled purpose, the United States alone can restore the value of silver. Of course if It required the action of twelve or thirteen different governments to bring the price of silver to its present state it would seem quite clear that no one of them alone could restore It. The fall in the price of silver was not due to the legislation complained of but to an enormous overproduction. While the farmers and other producers are struggling to live comfortably and meet their obligations, owners of silver mlne3 have accumulated enormous fortunes. That the flat of the government does not make money was Illustrated by the history of the trade dollar. What happened to the trade dollar would be exactly what would happen to all other silver dollars If free and unlimited coinage was adopted." UNION VETERANS MEET. Gathering: at Caldwell, Ohio, Starred by Some Discontent. Caldwell, Ohio, June 15. Union veterans of the civil war representing ATTORNEY-GENERAL. every state In the Union are assembled here for the purpose of participating In the twenty-first annual national soldiers' reunion. It is thought, however, that the attendance would have been larger but for the fact that many objected to the purpose of the gathering as stated in the official call. The following is the clause to which exception was taken: "Every state shall send as many delegates as it deems proper, but no state shall have more or less than two votes In the convention, to the end that every state may have equal power to decide how the soldier vote of the union shall be case in 1896. This is the great and only object of the gathering the crystallization and solidification of the soldier vote." The publication of the call was the signal for a storm of protest. It was maintained that action of this kind on the part of the veterans would do more harm than good to any cause in which they were interested. FAVORS HOMESTEADERS, Important Decision by Secretary Smith as to Land Payments. Washington, June 15 Secretary Hoko Smith has rendered a decision that will be -of interest to many Western homesteaders. The case in question was that of J. A. Wells of the Alliance land district, Nebraska, who requested an extension of time for making payment on his preemption claim. The land office refused the request on the ground that such extension could be granted only in cases where inability to pay existed by reason of failure of crops. In his decision Secretary Smith reversed this ruling, and calls attention to a recent act of congress which extends the time of final payment for ten year in cases where the ontryman N unable to make payment on account ri any cause which ho is unable to control. Collmii Survivor 111 Treated. San Franclsvo. June 13. At the federal investigation into the foundering of the steamer Colima near Manzanillo, Hay 27, Gustavo Rowan, one of the surviving passenger?, was the principal witness.

The witness complained bitterly of his treatment on the San Juan after he was picked up He says he was refused proper food and medical attention.

THE TBADE REVIEW.

A GENUINE BOOM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. Reports from Every Part of tho Union Are Favorable Better Crop Conditions a Good Feature Failure for tho Week. New York, June IS. R. O. Dun & Co.'a Weekly Review of Trade says: "It is no longer a question whether business improves. Not for a long time have our reports from all parts of the country been so uniformly favorable. The dally average of bank clearings In June Is 24.8 per cent larger than last year, though 11.4 per cent less than In 1892. The most potent Influence has been the receipt of more favorable advices regarding growing crops. Labor troubles are getting out of the way; wages in many establishments are rising, and, with the iron industry just now leading, there is general improvement in manufactures. Monetary Condition al30 helps. The time draws near when, with good crops, exports will bring gold hither, and though foreign operations in stocks and bonds have been Insignificant this week, the effect of the previous transaations has not been exhausted. "Much diminished receipts of money from the interior indicate better employment in business and especially at the West, the volume of commercial loans steadily rises and is now fair for this season, even in a good year. Western receipts for two weeks of June were 3,116,680 bushels of wheat, against 3,001,202 last year, whMe Atlantic exports, flour Included, were only 2,364,847 bushels, against 4,630,227 last year. Effects of the rise In prices were seen In the official report of May exports, showing a decrease of 1,000,000 bushels from Atlantic, but an increase of 2.000,000 from Pacific In exports. The price was reduced 2Vi In trading. Corn also declined about lc, with better reports of growth. "The official statement of 14.8 decrease In cotton acreage was quickly found, in view of revised government estimates for last year, to mean more than 20,000,000 acres now growing cotton, which much exceeds the best unofficial estimates, and from an area no greater over .000,000 bales were produced in 1891, so that the report gave no aid to prophets of evil. That some reduction would be well for the south Is clear, but the heavy present surplus will cover a larger los9 than seems probable. Cottonmanufacturers look for a speedy settlement of labor troubles and find a moderate demand for low, and medium, and heavy weight goods, while some of the cheaper lines of spring goods have been opened with encouraging results, but as to better trade there is still great uncertainty about prices. The anthracite coal trade does not maintain the Improvement recently reported, and with palpable overproduction, bad faith being charged again, the price has declined 25 cents. The coke producers about Connllsville have not yet made open declaration of their new compact, but contracts are being made at $1.35 for the last half year, with provisions for advance if wages rise. "Failures for the last week have been 241 in the United States, against 232 last year, and 24 In Canada, against 40 last year." ROBBED A MAIL CAR. Postal Clerk Ordered to Jump, and I Badly Hurt. Galveston, Texas., June 15. The mail car on train No. 4 International & Great Northern arrived at Palestine last night without a postal clerk.

Will Try Alleged Lynchers. Butte, Neb., June 15. The jury In the Scott case is being Impaneled. A committee of citizens waited upon the attorney general and urged him to dismiss the case on the ground that it would unjustly entail a heavy burden of expense upon the taxpayers of Boyd County. General Churchill informed the committee that he was acting under the Instructions of the governor and both branches of the legislature, and had no choice but to go ahead with the case. It is thought that the work of securing a jury will consume several weeks. Rockefeller Beaten. Duluth, Minn., June 15. Last evening the federal jury In the $1,250,000 suit of Alfred Merrltt vs. John D. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil king, after having been out five hours, returned a verdict of $940,000 for the plaintiff.
