This theorv she told a visitor the other day. was that 'there should be abso.ute equality between the two. hut not on the same lines; each In his or her own sphere, and that if there In to be a head 1t should he the husband." "Personally." she added.

"I should most admire a husband to whom I could show deference, whom I could consist on every subject. It would be such a pleasant, lazy, irresponsible existence, but it would not be quite Ideal from a wider point of new." In answer to the query ns to whether she thought a woman should be domesticated, the author of "The Heavenly Twins" answered: "Absolutely. That Is her line. I myself, busy as I am. know all the details of my menace.

I love domesticity, and ometimes long to throw down my pen and take up a piece of plain needlework." She declared, moreover, that she did not believe In "the hackneyed use of the expression, 'Emancipation. Not In the emancipation of women from womanliness and thp natural ties of wedlock, but certainly In emancipation from shallowness and ignorance." So far from being a man-hater, she says, she likes and respects many men. and that there ia not and never can be any quarrel between the sexes. I2AKXIXGS OF SOUTHERN MILLS. Many Southern cotton mills have their last six months' accounts, which show earning3 that must be very satisfactory to the stockholders and pleasing to the management.

Many of them return from 4 to 8 per cent, for the six months in dividends to their stockholders besides carrying quite an amount to surplus. These earnings have been made during one the worst depressions in the cotton business the country has ever known, and during a time that the cot ton mills in New England have hardly oeen able to get a new dollar for an old one. although many of them have rot passed lhir dividends, but paid them from their surplus. The fact that most of the cotton mills in the South have been able to run and dispose of their goods during this long period of depression has been surprising to New England manufacturers, while our mills which have had a long period of years to establish a high reputation, with every advantage to gain a foothold both in t''e home and foreign market, have been obliged to stop on account of inability to dispose of their goods. These facts tav some weight with the management of our New England mills and should set them to thinking as to whether it is not advisable to change their policy as to the marketing of their goods abroad There is a large export trade that we could have by putting forth au effort to obtain it.

This trade is at present in the hand of the English to a large extent, and they intend to hold it if possible, but in most cases where our goods have been sold in competition they have given great satisfaction, and leaves no doubt that could they be as easily obtained as the goods of English manufacture they would have the preference. The difficulty of obtaining our goods in many foreign countries is very meat. Take the South American markets, for instance. In some of the large seacoast cities American cot "on goods, to a limited extent, can be had, but back in the interior, in most of those countries, it would be next to impossible to find a yard of the American product. English cotton mills arid English merchants have their agents located there, and they are constantly on the to extend their trade and protect the'r interests in those sections.

They dictate the manner in which the goods shall be put up at the mill for their market, and in this way have succeeded for years in monopolizing the trade and at a great profit. American cotton mills should devote more attention to their export trade, and they can do it uone too soon for their interests. It can bo obtained only by stationing smart, capable representatives in those markets, and then paying particular attention to the manner in making and putting up the goods for different sections There are very few who realize the amount of cotton goods that is sent abroad by our Southern cotton mills, and to this, perhaps as much as any other one thing, can be attributed their success during the past six months. The Southern cotton mill managers should feel proud of these facts, and are to be congratulate! that, while Northern mills, on both white and colored goods, lave had to be operated on short time, and in many cases stopped entirely, not being able to sell their product, their mills have in so many instances been able to run at a good profit, and to keep their goods well sold it Times Hard Prices Low and S3 monthly.

THE SADIE MEAN'S CASK VOW ODER DISCISSION. The Charleston Presbytery's Action AVas Endorsed. Nashville, May 25. The General Assembly of the Southern Presbyterian Church met in adjourned session today. The committee on foreign missions reported that the work had gone forward with great success, contributions had been larger and there was a surplus in the treasury of nearly There were 130 missionaries in the field and 105 native helpers and 000 communicants had been added to the churcn.

Tt was recommended that no action be taken as to co-operation in missionary wcrlc. Concerning the report of the ad-interim committee it was recommended that missionaries have oloser relation with brethren at home: that nower of Presbyterians in ordaining and recalling mpn for work should be reoonnizM: that physicians and teachers should he recognized as missionaries, and Tt as assistants. Tt was also recommended that the assembly elect Rev. S. H.

Chester, secretary of foreign missions, for one that the executive committee the exyense of and furnish a child's magazine for 25 cents a year; that the executive comm'tte he empowered to employ a man to visit churches in the interest of fh- work at a cost not exceeding $1,500 per annum. The Means oase was then taken up and Dr. Blackburn, representing the Charleston Presbytery concluded his argument. He was followed by Upv. Dr.

Flynn. representing the Synod of South Carolina, which restored the Presbytery and ordered that Miss Means be irrauted a loff-or- nf 1 in thftt she raisrht be admitted elsewhere. Dr. Flyan defended the Synod in a powerful argument in which the intricate points involved in the question of regularity of the cases were entered into and discussed at great length. Recess.

Moderator Lapsiey called the assembly to order at 2 p. m. Dr. Moore introduced a resolution affecting irresponsible evangelists and unlicensed persons wn'ch was docketed. Dr.

Flynn then continued his speecn in judiciary committee, report on the case and discussed the facts In the case and claimed that an unfair d'stinc-tion had been made in the case of Miss Means for other people in the church were as guilty a's she with the church's knowledge. He believed the session had honestly confounded the facta and the legal conclusions to be deducted from them. He argued that the nse of telephones on Sunday was a necessity and the result of its nse was to lessen Sunday labir. His speech was a strong present ition of the Synod's position. Dr.Luper followed, and spoke in favor of enforcing the law as it stood and not to construe laws to fit every ease.

This was not. a question of What the laws should be, but what it "-as. If Miss Means' work waS a necessity. fe should not be disciplined; if It was not. she should be.

Tbe question was, did the Synod do right? He argued that the session and Presbytery did right. Then the vote was taken and each member had two minutes to explainhls vote and express his views. The- roll call began at 4:20 and closed at 5:40. The result was not to sustain the appeal from the synod 77 to sustain. 48 to sustain in part 8.

PROSPECTS ARE BY XO MEAN'S Failures for the "Week Less ImportantThe Coal Strike Will Fall. New York, May 25. Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: The unfavorable conditions prevailing in commercial anu industrial circles throughout the country, with the prospect for no material improvement during the summer, marks the present season as probably the dullest relatively for twenty yeans. At no time sinee the panic and business depression manifested themselves last year have reports as to the volume of sales of merchandise, the manufacture of staple goods, and the indisposition of merchants generally to buy, except for absolutely immediate wants, leen so pronounced and so generaJ throughout the country as during the past few weeks. Rain storms have exercised an unfavorable influence on business this week at almost all points east of the Mississippi river.

Not one of the larger Eastern cities reports an improvement in any line, with the exception of the demand foT shoes at Boston and Philadelphia. All business has fallen off at Pittsburg, at Buffalo the situation is che dullest for years, and Baltimore travellers report country merchants not in the mood of buying anything except as demanded by sales to customers. Eastern woolen nJ cotton mills report the outlook quite unfavorable. Daily newspaper press reports of a soft coal famine this week, and a shut down of general manufacturing operations prove without foundation. Present supplies of coal at leading Eastern, Central, Western and Lake cities will last from 'ten to sixty days.

Coal from Kentucky and West Virginian mines, and from other sources, and substitutions of nnthrieite, oil, wood and natural gas for fuel have prevented the famine anticipated. The total number of industrial idle as a. result of the coal scarcity is placed at 35.000, and the total number idle owing to the strike, which now appears likely to fail, is 210.000. An encouraging industrial feature is the probable settlement of next season's iron and steel wage scale without a strike. Advices from the Sou'lh present a continuous report of excessive dullness, except that there are gains in sales of plantation supplies at Memphis, advancing prices for naval stores at Savannah, and some activity in staples at Mobi'e.

Jacksonville reports gardens need rain badly, and Augusta that the crops are damaged by cold, and the trade outlook is less favorable. DUN REVIEW. New York, May 2.3. R. G.

Dun weekly review of trade will say tomorrow: Storms and floods, prolonged strikes and large exports of gold, have done their utmost this week to give bus'ness a vacation. But the wants unsatisfied during the past year belated and much lessened, and yet greater than those of any other nation have caused a volume of trade quite large for the season. While the Iron Industry especially and many others to some extent have been restricted by scarcity of coal and coke the number of works resuming has been greater than the number stopping from other causes. But It Is a symptom not to be overlooked that the demand for manufactured products Instead of Increasing appears for the moment rather smaller than before and indifference of buyers is shown in cancellation of orders hitherto given. It is a waiting season, but the to wait Is this year much intensified.

Works in operation are busy In 'closing up orders for a belated spring demand, but there is even more shrinkage in orders for the future than was noticed last year as the precursor of coming dullness. There appears no increased demand for cotton goods and manufacturers have that the accumulation of print cloths Which now sell at 2.69 cents for 64's must presently be checked by suspending production. Exchanges through clearing houses compare favorably for the week being only 18.1 per cent, smaller than last year. Failures diminish in Importance, the amount of liabilities for the third weei in May being only $2,204,139, and the three weeks $7,836,872 of which $2,642,687 were of manufacturing and $5,025,007 of trading concerns. The number of failures reported this week is 183 in the United States against 259 last year and in Canada 28 against 14 last year and again there are noted scarcely any of importance.

MIRDERER HANGED. for Wonder He Made Xo Religious Confessions. Macon, May 25. Henry Miller, colored, was hanged nere today for the murder of Mr. John Braswell on September 19, 1893.

The evidence on which Tklliler was convicted was principally circumstantial and he denied the crime to the last, but acknowledged being present when it was done and robbing the dead man's pockets. He also confessed to having killed Pink Ryan, who was found dead under the shed of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company a year and a half ago and whose murder has always been shrouded In mystery. He further confessed that he had killed three other men on the Ocmul-gee river and that he belonged to a band of Kuklux. The drop fell at 12:19, and he died in five minutes, his neck having been broken. He made no confession of religion and said he could live as well in hell as anwhere else.

He was defiant and sullen to the last and exhibited no symptoms of weakness on the scaffold. The crime for which he was convicted was one of the most brutal committed tn this section since the WoolfolK murder. Miller and others waylaid and murdered Mr. Braswell while he was on his way home to the country from Macon. His throat was cut from ear to ear and his head was shot full of slugs and buck shot.

HANGED. New Orleans, May 25. A special to The Times-Democrat from San Antonio, Texas, says: Joe Guiles alias John D. May, the 22 year oid train robber who killed fireman Frank Martin, expiated his crime on the gallows at Karnes City, 40 miles South of here, this afternoon at 4:10 o'clock. He was strangled to death, being 23 minutes before life became extinct.

The scene was a horrible one, several of the spectators fainting. The prisoner bore up well to the very last. THE STRIKERS RETURN. The Miners Have to Retarn to Work Or Starve. Washington.

D. May 26. A special to The Post from Knoxville, says: The four thousand miners of the Coal Creek district, who went out on a strike April 21. all returned to work today. The men have been in destitute circumstances since the strike went into effect, and were compelled to return work or starve.

The terms at which they go back are just the same as were effective when they went out. The operators refused to accede to any of their demands, and are now masters of the situation. Things are more harmonious, and the strike is broken so far as this district is concerned. At JeKico the miners are still out, but the action of their Coal Creek brethren In returning to work has had its effect upon them, and it is believed they will go to work the first of the week. The men a Oliver Springs have signified their intention to go bacK mor row.

EDITOR FLOYD DELIVERS AX ADDRESS OX HIS RACE. HIS ADVOCACY OP i vnrsiRiA i. TRAIXIXG FOR YOIXG XEGR0ES. He Gives His People Good Advice to Follow. Silas X.

Floyd, editor of The Augusta Sentinel, delivered an address at At-'anta University last night. In which he strongly advocated industrial and training for the young- negroes, warning them at the same time to let oolitics alne, make the friendship of fhe white people of the South, and 'earn the trades and make money. Ro- nying to the question. What are our educated vo-ung men doing-? he said: "However you may think of it tr reason about It. I believe it to be hhe fact, and I say it without fear of successful controversy, that our public schools as a wThole are turning out but little more than an educated race bootblacks, barbers, waiters and ser vants, while those from the public schools, high schools and universities, who have sought higher positions, have confined themselves almost entirely t( oreaehing-, teaching schools, to the practice of medicine, and to the practice of law.

Of 1.243 graduates of 17 institu tions for negroes in the South 720, more fhan one-half, became school teachers. 117 became preachers. 116 lawyers and 163 doctors, while only 12 became far mers and two mechanics. Of the re mainder 5 bec3me editors, 36 Govern ment employes, and so forth; but the main point to observe Is that where they have sought employment above that of menial service thev have sought it in the professions. The end of education then, if we may safely judge from the way the educated act, is to fit one for those positions in life which, do not require more thnn the smallest amount of physical exertion." After deploring this condition of affairs Editor Floyd went on to say: "The ambition of the young men of the present ought to branch out on a lifferent line.

We cannot all be phv- (icians. lawyers. ministers, bishops. profess in co'lege; we should not therefore, all strive for the unattain-ible. Many a good shoemaker has been for life when he became a minister: many a good blacksmith missed his when be tried to be a sur geon.

Many a good laborer has be spoiled in an attempt to make a law yer, and so through all the vocations. Tt Is true the negroes have won laurels in the professions. I do not underrate or underestimate, I trust, what they have done: but compliments have been deservedlv riven members of the race for scholarship, as shewn in many of work, rarely If ever is a man or woman of the race commended those whose commendation is worth anything for business ability, success is tradesmen, or examples in the industries requiring skill and special adaption; and these are the fields which the young men must enter. At present in these lines the negro is a novice, indeed. I might say, a nonenity." Noticing the objections to negroes go- into business he said: "It is suggested as a possible reason why the nearoes have not entered largely upon those pur suits of which I have been speaking.

that fhe white people of the South are prejudiced against the negro starting business enterprises; that may be. But candidly, ladies and gentlemen, there are very few places in the South today where the negro's dollar will no-go as far as the white man's, and there will be fewer, and in business matter1 pure and Simple. I am inclined to think that not quite much prejudice is shown as some would make believe. If a negro wants his note discounted at any bank in the South the only question which enters into the transaction is one of reliability, not eclor. Is he reliable? Is his word his bond? Does he pay his debts? Has he an established credit? That settles it; he stands the test he passes, if not he must step aside.

I admit that the white man has not reached the point where he will invite a negro to his prayer meeting, but he has reached the place where he w-ill invi'e the negro fo attend the stockholders meetings, as I can prove by examples. Where the negro's dollar touches tie white man's dollar there grows up a union of interests, a similarity of destinies, together with a consequent feeling of mutual respect and good will. Again, it is said that if the negroes of the South fit themselves to enter the trades and the fields of skilled labor they will find few places open to them, and a marked discrimination between theif daily wages and the wages of the white laborers. As to the discrimination in wages paid I agree; but from the opinion that' a few places will be open them for the exercise of their kill I dissent. The Southern Tradesman, of Chattanooga, recently made a statistical examination of the white and negro labor the Southern States from reports received from the employers of nearly 100.000 hands; 58 per cent, of the employes were white, and 42 per cent, negroes.

On third of the whole number were termed skilled laborers, only 10 per cent, of whom were negroes. The report shows that the wages paid skilled workmen average $2.51 per day to whites, and $1.58 per day to negroes-unskilled whites average $1.14 per da-r! and unskilled negroes average $1.02 per The report shows that nearly one-half of the laborers employed are negroes, and that 10 out cf every 100 of the skilled laborers employed are nr-groes. When we consider that the whites of the South outnumber the negroes 3 to 1 the proportion of being equally fcm-ployed would seem to us not to Indicate discrimination against the negroes but ought imply, I think, that if there were more negro skilled workmen the proportion of negro skilled labor to that of the white skilled laborers would be much larger than it is. As to the discrimination in pay that Is a -atter which an enlightened' pub-ic sentiment will equalize the day is bound to come when one man's labor other things equal, will be worth a-i much as any ofher man's. As to whether the average increase in the pay of the negro skilled workman over that of the negro unskilleJ workman in sufficient to warrant the negro in taking the time to acquire the skill, I submit the question, whether it were wise to content yourself with $6.12 per week, when you might fit yourself for $9.48.

Walsh, rising to a personal privilege, relieved himself of the criticism of the Brotherhood, by explaining that they have totally misconstrued the bill, that it was only aimed at robbers. He avowed himself In sympathy with labor, and he recognized that labor had its rights as well as capital, and that worklngmen had a right to organize to protect tiheir interests, and to advance their material condition In life. They had a right to qudt work, but they had no right -to interfere with th right of other laborers who saw tit to work.

Short Discussion on the Affairs of the Sandwich Islands. "Washington. D. C. May 24.

Though Secretary Carlisle returned at noon today he was so engaged about the corf dition of the Treasury gold reserve, which has run down to eighty millions, that he gave no time to looking- into the sale of the World's Fair Government building. Col. Livingston will see him tomorrow about the matter, and may request his appearance before th sub-committee of the Appropriations Committee. Col. Living-ton is determined to have all the facts in connection with the Chicago buildng settled before his committee acts.

When these ure settled, and the report being pre pared by Messrs. Howell and Spalding arrives, he will call the committee to gether to act. While there are complications at present none of them are serious, and everything bids fair work out well and smoothly in the end. Senator Walsh announced this afternoon that he would deliver a tariff speech on Monday. Mr.

Walsh will probably speak for an hour or more. On Tuesday Senator Walsh will leave for Augusta to attend the Immigration Convention. Mrs. Crisp went down to Staunton today to be with her daughter, Berta, at the commencement exercises of Miss Baldwin's school, next week. TURNER'S CANDIDACY.

He Jm Willing to Enter the Senatrrial Knee. Washington, D. May 24. (Special.) Representative Turner was today asked if he would say anything further in regard to the matter of the senatorship. He replied: "My friends have made me a candidate and I have consented to their kind intervention.

Xo other announcement is necessary. While I shall be glad to co-operate with those in favor of my promotion to the Senate, I will not be able to seek support by personal appeals and importunities. But as soon as my congressional duties will permit I expect to take some part in the campaign in Georgia. A. W.

Immediately after the presentation of a few petitions and the introduction of a couple of bills the resolution offered yesterday by Senator Kyle, declaring neutrality in the affairs of the Sandwich Islands, was laid before the Senate and Senator Kyle made a statement in explanation and support of it. It was well known, he said, that it was not the purpose of the United States Government to use force for the restoration of the deposed queen, but he thought that a declaration to that effect would aid very materially in settling the affairs on the islands. Senator Daniel suggested that in the absence of the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations no action should be taken. He was informed, however, by Senator Kyle that Senator Morgan approved the resolution and had taken part in framing it. and he then withdrew all objection.

He added that it was evident to all that there was no purpose in the present United States Government to exercise force to restore the overthrown government. The discussion was cut short by the Vice President laying before the Senate it 10:30 the Tariff bill. Notices of amendment to the Kyle resolutions were given by Senators Manderson. Teller and Palmer. The Senate then proceeded with the consideration of the Tariff bill, the question being on the tin plate paragraph, item No.

121. The amendment originally reported by the Finance Committee was to reduce the duty from 1 1-5 cents a pound (in th House bill) to H-cent. This amendment was withdrawn, leaving the House rate standing. The rate under the existing law is 2 1-5 cents a pound. The pending amendment was one offered yesterday by Senator Aldrich to make the rate 1 1-2 cents.

Senators Piatt and Hale taking Senator Gorman's speech yesterday for their text carried the heavy end of a long political debate that had to come before a vote conld be reached. Finally Senator Harris stopped the talk by a motion to table Senator Aldrfch's amendment and. his motion was agreed to yeas. 36; nay, 26. (Allen, Irby, Kyle and Peffer voting in the affirmative.) Paragraph No.

121 was then agreed to fixing the duty on tin plates at 1 l-5e. per pound as in the House bill. The next paragraph, 122, as to steel ingots, die blocks, billets and bars, shafts, shafting, was amended by striking out of the House bill the rate of 23 per cent, advalorem and inserting specific rates and classifications ranging from 3-10 of a cent a pound upon the above materials valued at 1 cent per pound or less to 4 and 7-10 cents per pound upon values above 16 cents per pound. The next paragraph 123 was amended so as to read, wire rods, rivet, screw fence and other iron or steel rods whether round, ovaL flat or square, or in any other shape, and nail rods in coils or otherwise valued at 4 cents or less per pound 4-10 cents per pound, valued over 4 cents per pound 3-4 cents per pound; provided that all round iron or steel rods smaller than No. 6 wire guage shall be classed and dutiable as wire To the next paragraph 124 iron or steel wire.

Senator Allen, (Pop.) of Nebraska moved an amendment to admit free of duty wire commonly used for fencing, bailing and binding purposes. Senator Jones, while favoring the object proposed said that it was impossible to dis tinguish the purposed for which wire was imported and that the effect of the amendment would be to admit all wire free of duty. Senator Allen con tradicted that statement and argued in favor of his amendment. He proposed to barbed fence wires and Senator Jones to modify it, however, so as to confine it expressed his willingness to consent to that This proposition prevoked a politi cal debate but finally Senator Allen's amendment was added to the committee amendment with the understanding that the phraseology would be so changed as to admit all fence wire free of duty, and then the whole paragraph (124) as amended was agreed to as follows: "Wire, round iron or steel wire all sizes not smaller than 13 wire gauge 1 1-4 cents per pound; smaller than 13 and not smaller than 10 wire gauee l-J cents per pound; smaller than 1G gauge 2 cents per pound; all other ron or steel wire and wire or steei commonly known as crinoline wire corset, wire drill rods, needle wire, piano wire, clock and watch wire, and it steel wtres, whether polished or unpolish enors, rviragrapu i- nc uac-u at 1 2-10 cents per pound on axl (127). cent ad valorem on anvils (12.
