The heaviest blow has fallen on Bradford and Leeds , whcro the woolen industries are fainting under the shock. On nil sides the feeling Is bitter , but the influence of the McICInloy law on coiton manufactures , while very dis tant , Is not so serious as it may bo. It Is thought that the relation of British weavers to the raw cot ton market may In tlmo result in lowering the vnluo of the cotton crop in America. Hitherto a portion of the American crop hns boon paid for the exchange of manufactured cottons. Tnls has had the olfcct of keeping the prlco of raw material very high. Should the American market for manufactured poods be cut off , and all the payments bo made in cash , it is clear the manufacturers would insist upon lower rates. One of the clearest headed representatives of the cotton manufacturers in Manchester is Mr. Barlow of the llrm of Barlow & Jones , the leading makers of decorative cotton quilts nnd counterpanes in the world. They are nUo extensive manufacturers of towels and damasks. AVhat Mr. flat-low Suld. "It Is almost too early to lorm n. final opinion as to the effects ot the McKinley tariff in our trndo , " said Mr. Barlow. "Still wo are bcglnnine to sco the drift of it. Tbo McKinley law Is driving us out of the lower into the higher grades. You see these counterpanes , fshowing some cheap ones ] nro of n very low grade. Wo sold them for twoorthroo shillings. Our orders from America were for tens of thousands. Wo had an enormous trade In thorn. Now wo send none to Amer ica , for Americans are making them them selves. The tariff prevents us from com peting. "But look at thcso other counterpanes. You sco thcro is hand embroidery upon them. That quality is exceedingly fine. And look nt the work so exquisitely dono. These wo sell for ! iO shillings each. The tariff on them Is cnormops , nnd yet wo sell thorn and ex pect to Increase our American trade iu that direction. "But where wo sold tens ot thousands of others , wo only sell hundreds of these. Wo bavo mado. up our minds that the American market is permanently closed to us for com mon manufactured cottons , and that the only Hold open is for fancy work for articles deluxe luxo , us the French would say. At the pres ent tlmo American manufacturers have not yet worked up to the finer articles in cotton. So long as wo conllno ourselves to this line wo shall have the trade. American people who nro rich have luxurious tastes. If the tariff on these things is high they don't mind paying the difference in price. Our manufactured cotton trade with America now resolves itself into the question of suiting the tastes of the pcoplo. " Hope for America. "Will not America in tlmo work up into the bettor grades of cotton manufactures also ) " I asked. "Yes. It Is too true. " "And Great Britain's ontlro trndo in that direction will bo lost ! " "I think so. " "Isn't it n fact that already American call- cos have been sold hero in England in largo quantities ] " "Not In the way of competitive trade , and that U u phenomenon that can bo easily ex plained. America pursues n policy fol lowed * in all highly protected countries. Whan the market Is overstocked and Eho cannot sell at n protlt rather than lower the prlco at homo she ships the surplus stock abroad and gets what she can for it. Otherwise , the homo market prices would bo reduced and It would bo slow work getting them up again to the foimcr level. That Is how occasionally American calicos nro sold in England.

' During the past few days vague rumors have boon afloat regarding the Impending trouble between Guatemala and San Salvador. These reports ewe their origin to iho fact that the Guatemalan gov ernment had boon welcoming Salvadlnlan immigrants with the probable intention of arming them and then putting them into San Salvador's territory to start n revolution. The dismissal of General Am.iyas from the War department , taken in connection with the expulsion of General Plazas from the country , have confirmed these reports. The facts , moreover , are quickly followed by the rumor from the Guatemalan frontier that General Barllhw Is mussing troops nnd war materials thoro. San Salvador hns natur ally been on the alert for such disturbing demonstrations. The reason for the hostile movement is not clearly understood bore be cause there has not been the slightest cause for it given by General Ezotas. , General Ponclano Lolba has been elected , or rather matlo , president of Honduras by General Bogran , with the object ot govern ing that country ftom behind the scone. In reality ho continues the actual president , and the former policy of servitude and obedience to Guatemala will bo carried out. There is not the slightest intention on the part of General Ezetannozota nor of his brother , to interfere in the affairs of Hon duras , lioth deslro pence , nnd the whole country longs for It. Sun Salvador bates wat , hilt will fight If shots obliged to do so by the ambition ot Guatemala's chiefs. As Honduras is ready to obey the orders of Barllas , San Salvador has deemed it best to closely observe what has taken place on her borders and to cover the frontiers of both Guatemala and Honduras so as to bo prepared - pared , no matter on which sldo the expected war might break out. It is believed , how ever , that Guatemala will bo tno country to start the trouble. San Salvador is now , as an actual fact , nerfectly nt peace. Ono strong proof of Guatemala's secret prepara tions nt the Irontlor is the fact that her gov ernment has wilfully stopped all tolegraphlo communications with San Salvador. Fol lowing Guatemala's example , Honduras , under pretext of its elections , actually stopped all communications.

Sir William White does not mention the receipt of any Information concerning Sigrl from Ad miral L6rd Kerr on which the response ought to be based. The delaying of the reply tends to confirm the belief that Admiral Koir acted under orders and that lt\\as not chance that caused the manouvros. Sigrl , It Is believed , was se lected as an unobtrusive place to effect a sug gestive demonstration. If Admiral Kerr acted under instructions Lord Salisbury's explanations may rest upon the fact that the porto had long accorded the privilege of maneuvering and drilling upon the Islands of the Archipoltgo. Whatever the nature of the response , it will not bo apologotlc. The Standard , In an article directly in spired , If not written by Lord Salisbury's private secretary , puts the position explic itly.

Military experts nro reviewing the recent series of army maneuvers by Austrian , Ba varian and Prussian troops , and all concur in the opinion that grave defects were exhib ited by the Austrian troops , owing to the absence of generals capable of directing their movements without blundering. Em peror William Is reported as having told Emperor Francis Joseph that his men and ofllccrs wore lit to meet any enemy that might bo brought against them , but that his generals were lacking in self-reliance , asso ciated with u consciousness of their ability to handle their men. The Bavarian and Prussian manwuvros disclosed loss serious defects. The generals in these armies displayed great cfllcjoncy and readiness to take the initiative , but the colonels commanding the various regiments acted too much like machines in adhering strictly to the letter of their orders. Lost evening the emperor grouped tno ofllccrs of his army in a Hold near Schlotheim and made a brief speech to them , in the course of wbich ho advised that a loss rigia system bo followed in marching and that freer meth ods bo adopted in drilling in order to add elasticity to the movements of the troops. At the same time , and in spite of his criti cisms , his majesty complimented the troops upon their general efficiency. High military authorities are agreed that both the Austrian ana Gorman armies are now fully ready to meet the enemy. Emperor Francis Joseph tonight Issued an ordur touching the maneuvers of the Aubtrlan troopa , In which ho commended the discipline and cfilclonoy shown by them , and said that ho was certain that the army would fulfill its duties , alike iu peace and war.

Petersburg Novostt yoster- dav , and which was telegraphed hero through a soinl-oftlcial agency , offers the hand of friendship to Great Britain. "Tho empire of Kussla , ' ' says the Novosti , "is already too extensive for her to dcslro to add to It by iho conquest of India. If she is forced to undertake the enterprise at some future date it could only bo as an act of re taliation for hostility shown by Great Britain to the czar's government in Europe. On iho other hand , should Great Britain renounce her antl-Kusslan policy she would have noth ing to fear from .Kussla as regards India. " The Novosti concludes by urging the Salis bury government to enter Into a definite acrecmont with Kussla at tbo present mo ment , when it could bo done under moro fav orable circumstances , perhaps , than It could at any available later juncture. The article has given rise to the suspicion hero that the c/ar's government is about to attempt to effect a compromise with England with n view to detaching her from the drol- bund.

The report that Don Luis Hogran , the president of Honduras , has been assassinated create ? no siirprl o among tlioso who nro acquainted with his eventful career and the state of affairs in Honduras , for ho had made many strong and bitter ene mies. In fact , It was predicted a year ago that ho would bo assassinated. Ho was born In Santa Barbara , the me tropolis of the republic of Honduras bearing that name , on Juno II , 1S11I. His father was General Saturnintus Bogrnn. When Barrios was president of Guatemala and Don Marco Aurcllo Soto president of Honduras , Bogran was 11 soldier of consider able prominence in the small army of the lat ter nation. II o was restlessly ambitious and ho attempted to create n rebellion against the president. The 111-latcd Del Uardo was at that time governor of the province of Gardlas , and was sent by the president with n force of s&ldlers to put down Bogran's re bellion. He did so effectively , capturing the leader. After having captured Bogran , Del Gnnlo summoned him before him and said : "I give j ou your liberty. You are n man of too small Importance to bo of any danger to the republic. " Soon after Bogrnn began to inlrlguo with Barrios against Don Marco. Barrios sent the letters which ho received from Boprnn to President Soto and ndvlsca him to arrest the man as a trai tor. Tnls President Soto refused to do. Afterward in 1SS4 , when a misunderstanding arose between President Soto and President Burlos , the latter took up General Bogran and used him as a moans of fomenting dis cord In Honduras. Tbo ovorvthelming power of Guatemala , the .strong will of Barrios and 20,000 troops which he hold in readiness to march against Honduras forced President Soto to resign his seat. General Bogrnn was elected to the presidency almost unanimously and ho has hold It to the present time. Tlie presidential chair bus not neon n scat stufTcd with roses or lined with swansdown , however. Bristling bayonets have surrounded it and frequent rebellions have threatened its stability. In 1SSO , Del Gnrdo Invaded Honduias with n revolution ary lorco. Ho was defeated in bnttlo by General Bogran and carried prisoner to Tegucigalpa. His companion , General Moro , In that last battle In the mountains , in the sight of both armies , blow his brains out with his own pistol , thus ending a career of adventure which hus hardly its parallel In fiction. Tied to an ass' back Del Gardo was taken to Comayagua , where ho was shot in the plaza with sixteen of his companions. Dr. Del Gardo of Salvador was at that time ono of the ministers of President Monondcz. Ho was a brother of General Emlla Del Gardo and tried to sava his lifo. Before the death of President Monondoz Minister ( Del Gardo resigned his olllco. The Ignoinlnous manner in which General Bogran put his brother to death has never been forclvon by Del Gurdo. Tno revolution attempted by Del Gardo was only one of many witu which Bogran has boon called upon to cope during his term of ofllcc. Barillas , when ho succeeded Harriott as president of Guatemala , continued the policy of his predecessor , and the league be- twcon himself .and Bogran hus been one of the strongest kind. In the * " \var\vlSlcu Bdr'- rlos had with Salvador and in which' ho was killed , Bogran attempted to fulfil his con tract and to march wllli Barrios against the Salvadorian frontier. But the invasion of his own territory by the armies of Nlcaraugua and Costa Rica proVOMtod his doing it. On the downfall of Barrios , Nicuruugim and Costa Rica withdrew their troops , leaving Bogran still In ofllco. The alleged discov ery of correspondence between Bogran and Colonel Ulvas , which correspondence was said to have plainly shown that the revolt of Itlvas against the authority of Ezeta was In stigated and uldou by Bogran , Incensed the Salvadorlans against him. His later visit with a portion of his troops to the Snlvn- dorian frontier was , President Bogran al leges , for the purpose of subduing n rebellion which had broken out In that section of Hon duras. In order to glvo weight to that state ment , ho hanged n couple of rebel ofllcors of his own , whom ho caught , ami also a couple of oilicers who had revolted \vith Uivus against the authority of Ezeta. The capture of tlio correspondence , however , hus been most unfortunate for Bogrnn. No amount of hangings over could remove from the mind of the victorious Ezeta the idea that Bcgran was trying to play him false. When Just 30 years old Bogran married Miss Teresa Morojon , u charming maiden of 17 , the daughter of one of the most notable families in thn department of Yoro. In per son Bogran had the Boulangor typo of countenance and always affected a rather dashing and military manner. H'JJ.l'2 lliit FUltKU.lHT , For Omaha and Vicinity Generally fair ; slightly cooler.

TEACH YOUTHS PROTECTING HABITS , Drunkenness IN a Disease and Must lie So Treated What the Doc tor Says Should Ho Done. i filnn Itamttt. ] LONDON , Sept. 10. fNow York Herald Cablc-Soecial to Tun Bnn.l-While the great controversy about drunkenness and its cures Is raging In the Times , Telegraph and other papers , Dr. Leslie E. Kcoloy of Dwlght , III. , who is becoming famous for his rapid en res of alcoholism and opium habits , has arrived In London. Ho hns Just finished a tour of Franco , Germany , Austria , Switz erland and Italy , made for the purpose of studying his specialty. The doctor loft America for this journey in Juno , mid , staying n week or so in London , will study tho.qucstion of drunkenness' In Ireland and particularly in Scotland , where it is said n man Is not considered drunk : while ho can bo on the ground without fall * Ing off. Yesterday Dr. Kceloy received n cablegrams from Chicago announcing that thuBlohlorldo of Gold club Had reached a membership of 1,000. This club consists of ox-drunkards who have been cured by bichloride ot gold at the Koeloy institute In Dwlght or atone ono of its sixteen branches in thn United States , TUo club was formed by men who had sufforcjl the terrors and sorrows of drunkenness and had been saved. Whllo on the continent Dr. Kecloy mot Lord Graves , who is so deeply interested In his woric that ho intends to visit America with n view of founding in England an insti tution similar to Dr. Kocloy's establishment at Dwicht. . It is possible ho will sail for America with the doctor. Drink Habit a Disease * . The most remarkable thing about n long chat which I had with Dr. Kceloy yesterday was the stress ho laid upon tnn fact that drunkenness is not n vice * and is not to bo approached or considered as anything but a disease , to bo treated as malaria or any other physical malady. Hero is a gray haired , keen oycd man of the west , who ba < i in twelve years cured over ninety-five hundred 'drundards and opium takers , and with all the experience that such a record Implies , ho turns his back on the remedies offered by legislation and the churches. If it were n vice , law nnrt religion could prevent or remedy It ; but it Is n disease , and physical remedies are the only moans of checking in , The doctor says that from the time ho left England until the time ho returned to Lon don , two days ngo , ho only saw two drunken men. Tncso were two nt Naples. Ono was n drunken boatman , the other was n young fellow returning from Sorcuto in n pleasure boat. Ho attributed the general sobriety of all continental nations to the habit of light , wlno or beer drinking , which , so to speak ; begets power of resistance that makes stronger alcoholic drinks unnecessary. This Is on the principle of vaccination as u pro * ventntlvo of small pox. Ho Install cos the fact that the first negro set * tiers in the Great Dismal Swamp dlcd off like sheep from malarial poisoning , yet the swamp today is ns thickly sottloa as any part or North Carolina by n strong , healthy race , who have become inured to the climatic con * dltlon. "Doctor , " I said , us I sat beside him yes. torday , "from your observations of the effect of light beer drinking in Germany and light wlno drinking in Franco and Italy , what do you think about , the plan pursued In other countries of attempting to wlpo out drunken ness by absolutely prohibiting the sale ot liquor , or by the system commonly known ns total abstinence , which involves a written pledge ! " Prohibition In IfopclrHi. "I do not think prohibition will ever obtain in the United States , " said the doctor. "It is impossible to control the liquor trnfllo. thorcforo I think light boor drinking ought to bo encouraged as n matter ot govern ment policy in America as in ICiiglnnd. As to the attempt to wlpo out drunkenness by moral suasion In the form of written pledges or oaths , I know that enthusiasm or religion may often bring about n mental and moral condition that cannot bo attained by any other means , and many people who have taken the pledge try very hard to keep It. But for ono who will keep such a pledge , an hundred Tall by the way , "Alcoholic drinking is not n vice. It Is a disease. This is the way I regard It. For that reason I treat it as a disease with better success than has boon obtained any tlmo In the world's history. You can neither wlpo out drunkenness by preaching nor by mak > Ing lawH. " "What has been your observation as to the so-called temperance movements I" "Thoy nro still serving to mould publlo opinion , which goes far toward wiping out the dramsliop in .small towns and villages , and it also serves to make drunkenness dis reputable. " "After your study of the question In Ku rope , would you , If you had the power , utthl moment substltuto light , wlnu and beer for prohibition and pledges ! " "Yes ; emphatically yes. It Is bettor to do this and have parents form the tastes of youths so that wlno and beer would bo as sociated will ) meals , and not with a debauch than to have the habit for strong drliiK secretly contracted , " Ho Was imminently Hospcutnhlc. \N FitA.vuisco , Cal. , Sept. 19.
