The Sun s cotton mar ket report says: 'Cotton advanced 7 to 8 points, then reacted, and closed dull at a net advance for the day of 3 points Sales 70.1C0 bales. Liverpool declined 2 points, recovered this, and, according to an erroneous dispatch tp the exchange, then advanced 2 points more but this proved to be a mistake. The net Improvement for the day was only about a half point. The spot sales there were §,1'03 bales at unchanged! prices. New Orleans advanced 3 to 5 points. In Manebeater yams were dull: eloths quiet. The southern spot markets were generally quiet, steady and without alternation. To nay’s futures: Droughts in the Carolinas, Georgia. Alabama. Arkansas and Tennessee, coupled with a rise in Liverpool, caused an advance early in the day, a part of which was lust later on, owing to a correction of advice from Liverpool, reporting a decided advance, rain in South Carolina and local realizing.” New York. June 13. -Riordan & Co. say of cotton to-day: "When our market opened to-day Liverpool had declined about 2-in. but in the face of the government weekly weatherre pori showing drought tn many parts of the cotton belt, no oiiy here seemed inclined to sell, and our opening was at an advance of 2 to < points, the first salesol August being nt 7.20 c. Liverpool at once rallied handsomely, •nd by some blunder the advance there was reported to le just double what it really was. The market advanced sharply on this news and 7:26c was paid for August. Shit when ih: error was corrected, most of the advance was lost, and August fluctuated for the rest of the day be- I tween 7.21 c. and 7.22 c. Just before 3 o’clock the market became easier, on telegrams an nouncing raijjs in South Carolina and the 'close'Vis dull with 7.2 Ge. bid for August. If the ruins should prove to be anything like general to the southeast, prices may go lower, but we arc"still strongly of the opinion that upon every good break cotton is a good pur chase. . • ?

HARRINGTON NOT A CANDIDATE. He Gives His Reasons for Taking This Position. Swainsboro, Ga.. June 18.—To the Dem ocrats of the First Congressional District of Georgia: In my letter under date of Maj’ 15, in answer to one from a commit tee appointed by the democratic execu tire, committee of Emanuel county, I said: I* will therefore saj’, if at the primary to be held the first Wednesday in June at the different precincts in the county, the peo ple voting thereat should ratify the acts of the executive committee in thus de manding the use of my name, and this should be followed up by other counties in the district, I will then become a can didate in accordance with resolutions aforesaid. Now, the resolutions referred to plainly stated that tne nomination should be bj; primary, which, in my judgment, is the only proper method of arriving at the true will of the people. For a new candi date to get fairly before the people, so as to enable him to present his claims in an acceptable manner, it would be necessary for him to canvass the district. This I cannot afford to do. First, there is no issue that I know of to be debated within the democratic ranks. Secondly, I have, since said writing, been assured thaj Mr. Lester desires to be returned to congress. While ho is at his post of duty where the democrats sent him, I will not take ad vantage of his absence and stab a friend in the back. I therefore desire that I should not be considered a congressional possibility. Some of ray friends may considei- this action of mine the outgrowth of a vacillating character, rendered im potent by political timidity. But I as sure them that whenever my services will avail ihy party anything, I shall not be found wanting in courage. So far, I have much to congratulate my self upon and to encourage mj r personal ambition, as ray own county where I born and reared,'has spoken at the ballot box and unanimously claimed me as their can didate for congress. At, this writing no other county has acted, and as 1 have never spoken a word or written a line so liciting support from any source what ever, I have no information as to how they might act. Thanking my friends for their verv zeiilous manner in which tttey have pre sented my claims, and wishing them and the Democrtic party all the success and prosperity that belongs to an honest peo ple.

The following steps were Liken toward an offensive and defensive alliance of these two great labor organ izations which, with an effective strength of 850,000 each, are founded upon the prin ciple of including in its membership laboring men of all classes. Opiwsed to this great confederation of laboring men are the American Federa tion of Labor, the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Fire men. and all kindred orders working on the class organization basis. There is every prospect of war to the death be tween the two factions of organized labor. Each has within the last few months made vigorous ateacks upon the other, and the radical difference in their princl pies are likely to make the fight for supremacy a lively one. GREECE’SEARTHQUAKES.

ASYLUM ON OUR WARSHIPS. The Salvadoreans th Be Put Ashore When Order Is Restored. * : , The Government Officials At Wash ington Anxious Not to Establish a Precedent That Can Be Used Against Us in Hawaii—The Commander of the Bennington Anxious Take the Refugses tq .Panama or Put Them Aboard Some Outward Bbund Ves sel. ' - ** ' ' ■ w Washington, June 13.—1 t is stated on authority that as soon as tbe new govern ment in Salvador has fully established itself and is able to preserve law and order, it is the intention of President Cleveland to direct the surrender of the refugees now on board the Uhited States steamship Bennington to the proper judicial authorities. Not, how ever, without the fullest guarantees on the part of Salvador that the prisoners shall be tried by an impartial tribunal, organized in conformity with the consti tution of the republic. According to the latest dispatches from .Commander Thomas, there still exists throughout Salvador A state of affairs but little re moved from anarchy and the members of the late government, who. were given asylum on the Benningtont would, in bis opinion, be murdered IvithOut any for malities whatever the moment they reached shore if he were compelled to give them up. ' THE COMMANDER'S WISHES. It is said Commander Thomas was anx ious for permission. to take his refugees to Panama on the Bennington, or th put them aboard some outward bound mer chant vessel, butr was restrained from this proceeding because this government was opposed to establishing a precedent ih the matter of granting asylum. While it is truq that the naval regulations con tain an ancient paragraph “ giving a com manding officer ■“ certain discretion to act in the interest- of humanity in extraordinary contingencies, and that Commander Thomas is. in all probability, fully protected by that clause in the re cent instancS,'it isalso a fact that very grave complications might result from a continuaace of this old practice in mod ern times. The difference between the case in Brazil, where the refugees on the Portuguese ship were revolutionists and at La Libertad, where they were mem bers of an overturned government, is con sidered scarcely material. AF’HAID OJ* IIAtVAIi. The Hawaiian situation presents possi bilities which the United States desires to be prepared to meet, for in case of trouble there, the United States does not want to make it possible for Briti&h or Japanese ships to grant asylum. Last night.orders were cabled to the Charlestonpad Callao, th proceed to San Francisco, “stopping at necessary inter mediate ports.’’ La Libertad, Salvador, is the first intermediate port she will reach, and as it is only 1,000 miles from Callao, the Charleston ought to reach there bj* Saturday next. If her hull were not so foul, she could make the trip in less than three days. The Salvadorean refu gees will be kept on the Bennington until the arrival of the Charleston; when,'as there are more accommodations on the larger ship, they will probably be trans ferred to her, where they will remain until tbe government of Salvador is or ganized to the satisfaction of the United States, and wh.cn tlyffifc is.no douffcthat the death penalty will not’ be recklesslj’ pronounced, or that the prisoners can be fully protected from mob violence. JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS. Should the Salvadorean Refugees be regularly indicted under proper judicial procedure the courts of the United States, upon receiving the warrant, would alone be competent to execute it if the refugees were within their jurisdiction. This matter will not be permitted to obscure wbat is considered to be the paramount one, that of granting asylum. Reports from Salvador this morning show that the new government there is as far from stability as ever, and that the considerations requisite for the delivery of the Bennington's refugees are distant. In .the meantime the United Statesis chafing under a very embarrassing situa tion. ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS. A Belief That the Session Can Be Wowhd Up by Aug. 15. Washington, June 13;—With the advent of hot weather cbmes a universal desire for the adjournment of congress. Soipe of the southern members particu larly’ who waited for the repeal of tbe Sherman silver purchasing act, find that their position regarding that measure is being used to their disadvantage at home, and are anxious to get back to their dis tricts and explain the reasons fcr sup porting repeal. Some of the best in formed members of the House and Senate believe adjournment will be reached not later than Aug. 15. They think the tariff bill will be sent back to the House by the last of June, and that adjournment can be had by the close of six weeks follow ing. Leading republican members of the finance committee of the Senate say ;t is probable that the tariff bill will be firifshed and pass the Senate about two weeks from next Saturday. Al! day yesterday and to-day negotiations have been going on among the leaders on both sides looking to progress upon the bill. Some iDodlfieatt®ns> 7 may be made, including the droppifig'of the administra tive portion of the bill. It is said that the republican managers made a definite proposal to Senator JHtirris to vote upon the bill on June 25. and that Senator Har ris declined, as he believed the bill could be passed sooner than that date. There are other democratic senators still nego tiating and it may be possible that a date can be fixed. * Wetmore Elected Senator. Newport. R.

It is a Iddy in a white flowing gown that ap pears periodically in the territory lying be tween Marbury and Jackson and Jones and tbe river bonk. She is reported as walking leisurely along in a most ’Mary Andefson eAque” manner, and no matter how fleet the pursuers may be she is sure to escape around some corner .before capture can be. effected. Unlike .other ghosts, this lady leaves a track that has been examined by two policemen, who say that it is very small, yet the woman who makes it is of ordinary size. Policemen walking ‘beat” No. 8 have seen this woman three times and each ‘time; she has escaped before, they could get nearer than fifty yards. Taking into consideration the fact, that her ladyship leaves a track and showed other things in connection with these the only way that the apparition can be accounted for is that seme lady is walking in her slqepmr putting up a hbax. At Columbus Saturday night Sid Brooks arrested a negro who is supposed to be Frank Caruthers, of Hawkinsville, who is badly ' wanted at that place on the charge of murder.'

Gainesville Sun: Alachua is the banner phosphate county of Florida, having the largest deposit oT both hardrock and pebble phosphates. The industry in this county, al though in its infancy, has assumed mammoth proportions. Perhaps not less than filtv mines are now In successful operation, many of them employing the finest and most exneri sive machinery obtainable. An immense amount of capital has been invested, and all isgns indicate prosperity on a permanent basis. The phosphate industry of itself is sufficient. to build up and advance the ma terial interests of This part ofFlorida. Palm Beach Gazetteer: ThA oldest trees on the coast are at Miami: very tall with even sized trunk all the wiy up The heavy lump at or near the ground is only on young trees and grows out. We don t know who set out these trefts. but possibly when the place was known as Fort Dallas by the soldiers stationed there during the Indian war. The old stone tarraebs are sthi standing, and used as storage houses by vhe owner of the place, Mrs. Tuttle. - Previous to them coming into her possession they were useJ as the court house for Dade county, and it was from that the books were brought to Juno. There are a dozen or more of the trees standing near the water’s edge, at the mouth of the Miami river and the„ bay. All around in the woods near by are thousands of lime trees, growing vigorously as the other growth and bearing very well. No one seems to know how or who started them. Tavares Herald; An effort is making to se cure an irrigating plant at this pla.e with a sufficient capacity to supply fifteen hundred or two thousand acres. The drought of the; past spring was the severest we have known for years and the effect on the orange and vegetable crops has been most injurious. It Is. In fact, doubtful If we shall have one-third of a crop of oranges in this vicinity as the young fruit have fallen by thousands. Those groves that are irrigated are in superb con dition and the trees are laden with fruit. A remarkable illustration of the bene fits of irrigation is to be seen at Orange City, in Volusia county, where groves irrigated aqd not irrigated stand side •by side, the trees in the forrner of the most lustrous green and full of young ft-uft, while those of the latter are dried, yellow and will have scarcely any fruit on. them. No better investment could be made than in an. Irrigat ing plant here. Probably (as at Orhnge City) for the first two years there would be no profit, but we are certain that within five years after its establishment the plant would pay a larger dividend on the money invested than almost any other enterprise in South Florida. Capt. T. T. Roan, of Fort Myers, has mango trees in bloom for the third time, and his alli gator pear trees are blooming this late in the season. At Port Tampa City there are several large and costly brick cigar factories, which were erected within the past few years, but during the last summer's depression, some of them were shut down, and the force in others greatly reduced.

At 3 o’clock Saturday morning, and as Policeman Charles Arnau was walking down the street by the big cigar factory of Sanchez & Haya, in Ybor City, the policeman smelled kerosene oil, and, on looking about, saw a man dodge behind the corner of the back part of the building, The policeman pursued and cap tured him. Investigation showed that Pnig gross had potired kerosene oil on the. floor of the porch and on the walls, and was just ready to strike a match to it. He had a pre liminary hearinj before Judge Brockway and was locked up. Insanity will be his plea. Pniggross had bought a lot from the firm twt> years ago. and. being unable to pay for it, he lost it. This is the cause of his attempted crime. Had Arnau been a few minutes later in appearing one of the largest cigar factories in the city would have been burned to the ground. A large number of excursionists, probably 200, went down to Mayport from Jacksonville Sunday on the Manatee, and the catching of a huge man-eating shark was a part of the ex citement of the trip. About the tune that the excursionists reached Mayport some of the fishermen of that place went out on the dock and began tishing for sharks. They did not have to wait long. however, for with a swish and ’ a whin the dong line suddenly straightened out and the fishermen had.-aH do to prevent their big catcfi.ftbni dragging them, in. For halt an hour they played the shark and a right lively time they hud of it too. Finally the big fellow got tired and they warped him up to the dock and with the aid of ropes got him upon the flooring. He was found to be a big one and about ten to twelve feet long. He had a wicked ' smile'’ when hq opened his mouth, and those present con gratulated themselves that they did not have to encounter such an antagonist In the water while bathing. From letters received from different elec tric light companies by the board of public works, it is seen that a plant suitable for Jacksonville will coat between <55.000 and JOO,OOO.
