WASHINGTON , Sfpt. 8. The State de
partment Is In receipt of a report from
United States Consul Mclvor of Kanaguwa ,
Japan , upon the manufacture of cotton fab
rics from American cotton , pointing out the
great opportunity now afforded the United
States to open up direct trade with Japan.
He says ! "Japnncre manufacturers are
each year Improving the grade ot their cot
ton fabric ? , 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 large supply of
American cotton IB 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 railway and ocean rates from any
Inland point of this country to Japan. If
these statements are true , our people are los
ing the celling commission , or profit , and
the marine Insurance and freightage on a
product which Is distinctly an American
staple. HeinemberIng that the market here
Is not ono 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 interests , acting In har
mony with our transcontinental railway
lines , to establish direct trade , which would
even on a much lower rate swell the profits
of the railways and greatly Increase the
general 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 anil far-
reaching advantage would bo gained by giv
ing us an Independent market , thus materi
ally weakening and ultimately destroying the
right which today Liverpool Is supposed to
exercise of fixing the price of our cotton In
our own markets , on the theory that she
controls the only market for our product. "
Mclvor adds thai 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.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 8. The reported ac-
'lon of the sugar planters' convention at
. * ew Orleans ycsterjay , favoring an alliance
with the republican party on national 1s-
BU s , on the ground that they had been be
trayed by the democratic party In .lenylng
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 , 1834 , the puy-
mcntfl as bounty on sugar aggregated 512.-
093,899 , , ot which amount ? 11U4,299 was on
canu sugar. $ S52.17G on beet snnnr , 117,312
on sorghum and $116,121 on maple. Of the
bounty on cane sugar ? 10SCSS6U was paid
la producers In the state of Louisiana , ? 223-
1CC to those In Texas. $22,113 In Florida and
$155 in Mississippi. Tha record also shows
that the 411,114,2'JO bounty on cano sugar
was paid to f > 78 producer * , which maks an
average of (19,195.60 to each producer. The
amount paid as bounty on beet sugars was
divided among seven producers or factories ,
making the average payment to each $121-
739. This , however , represents only a binall
proportion of the b.ncflclarles under tha cct ,
as each factory handles the crops ot a large
number of growers. This Is aUo true ot the
cano factories , only the proportion of factor
ies to producers la believed to bo much
IBS , while , ol course , many persona are cm-
ployed In the work , and are Indirect bene
ficiaries. The figures on acreage for the
year ended June 30 , 1891 , are not yet all
In , but thoss for the preceding year bhow
that In the stnto of Louisiana the bounty av
eraged $47.52 for each aero of cane pro
duced , In Texas $37.CO per acre , and In Flor
ida $58.23 per acre. It Is believed that the
avtrago bounty per acre ot cane produced
In Louisiana for the year ended Juno 30.
1891. will be about $53 ,

WASHINGTON , Sept. 8. The officers of
the Navy department are having some dlf-
flculty In laying out a course In Long
Island sound for the trial of the Erlccson.
Thcro have been several consultations be
tween Admiral Ramsey and tlfe bureau
chiefs , but as yet a plan has not been on-
tlruly decided on. The trouble Is- that the
ship Is so email and the time , "two hours , " so
short , that It is d I (11 ( cult to anchor buoys
BO the distance- two miles can be accurately
measured. The Erlccson must make twenty-
four knots on- hour or she will bo rejected.
The contractors Insist the trial must take
place In deep water. The Navy department
cannot obstruct the sound , and IL must
anchor its buoys , marking the course- with
accuracy. One end of the course may be
marked by the light house , but this la Im
possible at the other end. U Is probable
the buoya will be anchored by several chains
In order that they may not be displaced by
the tide movements. If the Erlccson- should
tnako twenty-four and one-quarter knots , slie
will earn a premium of $2,500 ami } 1,000 foi
each additional quarter knot , The contrac
tors Insist upon an accurate course In deef
water , so she can make tbo fastest possible
speed. _ _ _ _

is expected on Monday to render a decision
on claims for sugar bounties prior to August
27 , 1894 , when the new tariff bill became a
law. The amount Involved Is abut $2GO- $
)00. ) The secretary will hold that under the
law ho Is nt only unauthorized to make
Lhese payments , but Is specifically Instructed
! > y the new tariff act not to pay them. The
sugar producers , on the other hand , contend
that congress has no right and did not InUnd
to prihlbll the payment of bounties on sugar
produced while the act ot 1S90 was In force ,
and that the licenses entered under that act
are In the nature cf contracts and carry with
them the obligation ot tha government to
pay bounties provided for by that act. These
licenses expire annually on June 30.

It Is an open secret that the managers
of the Majors campaign are almost com
pletely discouraged over the total lack of
enthusiasm which lias greeted the latest at
tempt of the blue-sblrte < l statesman to break
Into the executive ofllce. The republican
campaign was formally opened In Omaha
Friday night. Ordinarily a republican openIng -
Ing night would draw out several thousand
people. Friday night , humiliating as the
statement may bo to the pride of the Majors
contingent , ICES than 100 people gathered to
Isten to the candidate for tovcrnor. Con
servative men place the number nt a loner
figure than that.
Yesterday the railroad managers realized
.hat something must be done at once. An
mportant conference took place In ( lie after
noon , at which Majors , Russell and Church-
11 were present. In addition , there was
Jhnrlle Morrell , chairman of the republican
state central committee. The conference was
not held at republican headquarters at the
Mlllard , but at the private office of George
W. Iloldrcgc , general manager of the B. &
M. railroad.
What tool : place at that meeting the public
: nay readily Judge for Itself. The spectacle
of the railroad czar ot Nebraska calling the
cpubllcan candidates- three of the most
mportnnt offices on the state ticket Into his
private office for n conference shows plainly
enough ho Is managing the gubernatorial
candidate In the present campaign.
DAVIS A > > I'OYTUICS TALK.
Largely AttoiKlpil Populiiit Mn : McetliiK at
Jefferson 'qu.irc.
Last night 700 or SOO voters of the cllj
gathered around the steps of the Meadlmber
Carriage factory for the purpose or hearing
"Cyclone" Davis of Texas discuss the po
litical Issues of the coming political cam
paign from a populist standpoint.
As a preface to the speech of the cienliig
John II. 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 Slates ,
he opined that 120,000,000 acies ot the land
was owned by foreign noblemen ft ho com
pelled the people of this country to pay
them a tribute , thus enriching the coffers , of
Great Britain and nt the same time making
the poor of America poorer. Mr. I'owers
avowed that In times gone by he was a Jef-
fcrsonlan democrat , and that at a later period
n his existence he was a Lincoln republican ,
but now he was n populist , und 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 Sir.
lavls was greeted by a reception that ought
to have made any man feel prouil , after
which he plunged into the subject which ho
had up for discussion. If a democrat be
lieved first In his party and then In liberty
and the gen eminent of Ills country ; If n
republican believed In his party and the
supremacy of the American government , botii
were considered In a correct position from n
party view , but that was not the thins , as
In both Instances the positions should be re
versed and then they would bo 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
anxious 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 hands of corporations and for
eign noblemen.
The lawmakers of the country , Mr , Davis
declared , had been subsidized by the money
power Into giving away the free land that
belonged to the people until It was apparent
that no government could stand that trustsd
Its financial affairs to the control of cor
porations. It was a case of John Brown
being dead and his soul matching 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 victory for which It was fighting.
Democrats were fighting for the prln-
c'ples of Jefferson and republicans were fightIng -
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 principles extracted , there would
not be enough of either to fill the eye ot
a gnal. Tariff was the remedy that both
parties wanted to apply , the democrats vant-
Ing tariff reform and the republicans wanting
reform tariff , and thcro they fought , pulling
the wool over the eyes of the people ntid
keeping their noses constantly upon the
grindstone.
The money question was discussed at
length , the spa\er quoting figures and
statements to prove that Ills position was the
correct ono , after which he advocated the
ownership of the railways and telegraph
lines by the government.
