BANISHING A SPECTRE.
A Correspondent Takes a Roseate View
of Jacksonville's Scourge.
Jacksonville. Fla., May 30.—1 left
your city oii.ttn* evening of the 28th, r
-i riviug here on the morning of the 2!)th
inst. In Savannah and en route I heard
many reports of the dreadful “scourge’’
ot small-pox that was prevailing in Jaek
soiivtlle. and l naturally entered it with
: many forebodings.
The exaggeration of the facts as I tind
I them constrains me to volunteer this in
| formation: I tind that my fears were not
i realized, and that the disease does not by
any means prevail to an alarming extent.
I have taken in the city generally and tind
| the citizens at their usual posts and oc
! eupations, and much more indignant at
i the unnecessary reports than alarmed at
the disease.
Mr. C. H. Freeman, the present mana
ger of the St. Mark’s Hotel, a gentleman
of many years experience in Texas and
elsewhere, puts it briefly thus: “It seems
to me that these people know very little
about small-pox. The so-called “scourge”
would give a Texas town very little con
cern. and the average Texas journal would
hardly consider it of sufficient importance
to give it a notice,” and your correspond
ent can indorse Mr. Freeman’s assertion:
for having just returned from a trip
through Texas, was in San Antonio,
where, I am satisfied, there were ten cases
to one now existing in this city*, without
it leing a theme of comment even.
This house has not a case of sickness of
any nature at present, and its manage
ment is certainly in the interests of its
patrons.
Business is suffering greatly from this
farce, which Savannah would' have met
without alarm or loss, and which is much
to U* regretted, and the citizens generally
are justly indignant at the unnecessary
alarm occasioned bv exaggerated reports.

ing the grand jury, referred to the dvna
tuite conspirators, Dr. Gallagher, Bernard

murder. Lynch would also be permitted
to give Queen’s evidence in this ease.

NEW YORK’S FATAL CRUSH.
| Xo Mop e or the Big Bridge s Victims
Liable to Die.
New \ ork, May 31.—A number of per
sons inquired at jioliee headquarters this
morning for children or friends supposed
to have been on the bridge at the time ot
the accident yesterday. There was only
in one or two cases reason to suppose that
the missing persons might have been on
the bridge.
Bernard Reseller, of 335 Delaney street,
was inquired for and his friends were
told that he was among the injured, but
had left the hospital and gone home.
The father of August Rentz, a bov of
I*> years, who went out to look at the pro
cession and did not return, is looking for
him. - °
The Oak street police report that they
have a cart-load of property taken from
the anchorage when it had been cleared.
Most of the clothing is torn bevond recog
nition. Very few ot the articles have
been claimed.
Those who were injured in the disaster
are still at the hospitals, and are all doing
well, and in no case is it thought that the
injuries will result fatally.
The Coroner will subpu na the bridge
trustees, Superintendent Martin and all
others who jjan give any information in
reference to the accident on the bridge.
He intends that the investigation Shull Ik*
u thorough one.
Superintendent Martin has been tier
sonally investigating the causes of the
disaster, and the tK*st authenticated in-
Jormat ion that he can gather leads him to
believe that the panic was caused by
pickpockets. No action has vet been
taken by the bridge trustees.
1 he SiijKiriiiteudctit acknowledges that
Hu* space allotted to the foot passengers
is at present insufficient, but bethinks
that when the trains begin running and

found to Ik* ample for its purpose.

BETTER PROSPECTS FOR ,A SET
TLEMENT OF THE STRIIi.ES.
All Quiet on Illinois' Blood-Stained Bat
tle Ground—The Pittsburg Conference
Ends iu an Agreement Charges of
Trickery Reopen the Breach in
Chicago.
Chicago, May .31.—TIk* striking brick
layers here held an indignation meeting
last night and refused to be bound to the
agreement made on Tuesday by the Com
mittee of Bricklayers and Master Masons.
They claim that after the agreement
was signed by both parties it
was given into the hands ot G. C.
l’russing. President of the Master Build
ers Association, and that liefore giving it
out to the reporters for the daily papers
he removed one of the leaves of the docu
ment and substituted another containing
a clause not in the original, under which
masters may declare any man not a com-
mason, and may compel the brick
layers'union to issue an apprenticeship
card. The men are very bitter, and will
not resume work to-day.
President Trussing, of the Master Ma
son's Association, stoutly denies the im
putation made by the metnliers of the
bricklayer’s union that he had tampered
with the agreement. He asserts that the
bricklayers are in a rage simply l**cuue
they have been defeated in everything
they set out to accomplish. The end of
the strike can not be now foreseen.
Bt. Louis, May 31.—A conference of
miners and oiK*rators ami the committee
of the Board of Trade met at Belleville, lll.,
this morning. Tlie miners agreed to all
the conditions of the Board ol' Trade’s
propositions, except non-interference with
machine mines. They had concluded to
accept no conditions that did not put
hand mines on an equal footing with ma
chinery mines. Another conference will
he held Monday.
Pi it .mu lit;, May 31.—'The conference of
tin* iron manufacturers and Amalgamated
Assoeintion committees tills morning re
sulted in the manufacturers signing last
year’s scale, \yhich is $5 50 per ton for
puddling. This action, happily, averts a
strike ami insures the running of all the
mills in tlie West for at least one vear
longer. The manufacturers, who have all
aloni; persisted that they would not pay
more than $3, and who were supposed to
have a solid front, give as a reason for
their unexpected action that they hud
positive inlormution that a number ot
V estern mills had urrauged to con
tinue at the old scale, with the con
dition that it tin* manufacturers here
were successful, xvorkmon would accept
the same wages, ami ruther than submit
to seeing their trade going to other places
they decided to puy the wages demanded,
I resident Janet, of the Amalgamated
Association, says that the scale was sign
ed unconditionally, and characterized it
us a victory without a battle.
Intense satisfaction is expressed on all
sides over the settlement, as. the strike
was regarded as inevitable, and to Pitts-
Ditrg an indefinite shutting down of the
iron mills means not only a serious loss
to those engaged in that particular indus
try, but to every other industry and busi
ness as well.
Milwaukee, May 31.—The mills of the
North ('hictti'o Uolling Mills Company, at
Bay \ iew, will close at 5 o’clock Friday
morning, as this company is not a mem
ber of the manufacturers’ association,

meetings. Eleven hundred men are
thrown out.

or’s investigation into the killing of Hen
derson, the miner, hy the militia was to
day closed, but no verdict has yet been
rendered.
Mills to Close Down.
Chicago, May 31. — From an interview
witli the managers of the leading iron
mills in and about the city it appears
inevitable that all will shut down to-mor
row owing to the failure ot the mill own
ers to accede to the Pittsburg scale. The
controversy will not in any way affect the
steel rail mills, which will continue their
operations. The managers of the mills
join in asserting that the advai. . go rests
witli them, as the market is inactive and
prices only moderate, while their em
ployes were only recently engaged in a
long strike,from the effects of which they
have not recovered.
Strikers Become Criminals.
DksMoinks, la., May 31.—During last
night some striking miners threw a quan
tity of powder and fuse into the house of

but none fatally. No arrests have vet
been made.

Russia to Conquer British India.
Paris, May 31.— Le, Temps says that
the object of the recept journey abroad of
DeGiers, the Russian Minister of For
eign Affairs, was to inform the powers
that Russia was compelled to seek in
America (f) an equivalent for the
British occupation of Egypt. Premier
(iladstone by taking Egypt not only lost
the good wishes of France, but reoi>ened
the question, and furnished Russia with a
pretext by affecting her immense projects,
the last step in which will be the conquest
of British India.
An Escape from Assassination.
Sklma, Ala., May 31. —Henry Cochran,
Postmaster of this place, was shot at a

assailant, but declines to give his name
until evidence corroborating his state
ment can be secured. The cause of the
attack is understood to he some private
affair.
Kmleil Like the Parkersburg Case.
New’ Orleans, May 31.—1n the case of
T. P. Leather et al. vs. the wharf lesses,
Associate Justice Wood to-day rendered
a decision in favor of the lesses. The

ment of ten cents per ton wharfage dues

decision in the Parkersburg case as appli
cable to this, and ordered that the com
plainants’ bill lie dismissed.

Berlin, May 31.— Despite the assur
ances of the French that there is no dan

the commerce of Germany with China
has already been much disturbed by the
Tonquin dispute. It is hoped in Berlin
that if France declares a blockade of the
Chinese ports Great Britain and America
will refuse to recognize it. The French
blockade cannot be effective, and Ger
many will certainly support England and
America in opposing it. The German

CROOK'S RAID IX MEXICO.
THE INDIAN PUZZLE MADE AS
CLEAR AS DAY.
How the Country was Acquired—Who
aud Where the Indians Are—How the
Wars are Started —The 'Agreement
About Crossing the Border—Confidence*
In the General,
Washington, May 31.—The following
statement of the view taken at array
headquarters of the situation of attairs on
the Mexican frontiei aud of the plans aud
circumstances of General Crook, is made
by the authority of the United States au
thorities: “Ihe United States acquired
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona from
old Mexico in the war of 1840 s. Ever
since that time our army and adventur
ous emigrants have been fighting with the
Apaches, the general name given to many
bauds of Indians of about the same type,
known distinctively as Tontos, Jicariilas,
Warm Spring Indians and Chiricahuas’
tvho for 200 years have been contending
for the possession of t lie territory
lying along what is mJw the Mexican
frontier. According to the policy of the
United States, the Southern Apaches
who properly belong on our side of the
line, have lieen collected into two reser
vations, at or ueajL-oach,ot' wbioh is tu.
usual agent of the Indian Bureau and
garrison of troops. One of these reser
vations is iu New Mexico, near Fort
Stanton, and the other in Arizona, at San
Carlos, near Fort Thomas. A large part
of the Apaches, however, still remain in
Sonora and Chihuahua. These Indians
occasionally come north to see their old
friends at the agencies, and tlie agency
Indians return their visits. While
making such trips they keep their hands
in hy stealing the cattle and horses which
fall in their way, tind by killing everybody
whom they encounter. They are the natu
ral and common enemies of both the
Americans and Mexicans. They give no
quarter ami expect none. Such' visits or
raids across the borders create a panic,
but tlie cause is gone before the erv can
be raised. Some time since Secretary
Frelinghuysen, in behalf of the United
States aud Senor Romero, the Mexican
.Minister, with the approval of Ins own
government, entered into an agreement,
not a treaty, that the troops of
either nation might follow such raid
ing parties across the natural border and
destroy them. The pursuit, however,
must be immediate, in “hot blotxl,” or a
“fresh trail,” and according to interna
tional law, due notice being given to the
other party, and must cease the moment
the authorities of the territory invaded
are able and willing to take it up. Gen.
Crook was assigned to the command of
the Department of Arizona on account of
lus special fitness and experience, and he
was given an increased force to enable
him to prevent these Apache raids, which
so interfered with the development of the
resources ot the Territory. This force con
sisted of two full regiments of cavalry
(the Third and Sixth), one regiment of
infantry (Firsthand 200 Indian scouts,
two-thirds of all ol whom are now em
ployed by the United States. General
Crook was convinced by the recent raid
that peace and security in Arizona could
only be attained by making the Apaches
in Sonora respect and tear tlie power of
this government, and he therefore de
termined to follow the raiders to their
hiding place in the mountains which
separate the Mexican States of Sonora
and Chihuahua. He made his prepara
tions with great care and deliberation,
and took tlie precaution of a first visit to
Sonora in person, and consultation with
its civil and military authorities with re
gard to his contemplated movement. They
were only too glad to have such an
auxiliary in the work of preventing Apa
che raids, and having assured himself ol'
this Gen. Crook returned to his command
and began the movements now in pro
gress. The War Department has given
Gen. Crook the fullest liberty to conduct
this bold enterprise in his own way and
his own time, reposing in him abso
lute confidence and furnishing him
with men and money fully up to his requi
sitions and estimates. There is no hurry
in the matter, lor during his absence from
Arizona all railways and mining opera
tions and other pursuits of the people of
that Territory are going on without inter
ruption, and his presence on the other
side of the border will keep all hostile
Apaches there from undertaking aiother
raid. Gen. Crook in due time will ac
count tor everything in his own wav or
perish.”
Lieutenant Win. Baird, of the Sixth
Cavalry, who has just returned from the
Mexican frontier, said to a reporter to
day, in reply to inquiries that he did not
think that the reports of General Crook’s
engagement with the hostiles were
trustworthy: “Very likely,” he said,
“there has been lighting, but I do
not think that any decisive
action lias taken place. Gen. Crook did
not intend to send back word until lie had
accomplished something or had entirely
failed.” In reply to a question why Gen.
Crook did not take with him into Mexico
a larger force of cavalry, Lieutenant
Baird said: “Gen. Crook’s action in that
respect is not fully understood. He took
all the men that he could possibly
provide transportation for,'everything in
the way of provisions, and baggage had to
lie carried on the backs of mules. The
country was scoured, and all the mules
that could be procured at the different
posts were brought in. These mules are
not very plentiful, and the size of the force
had to be regulated in accordance with
the supply. It was absolutely necessary
to take scouts to track the enemy. Gen.
Crook took with him as far as the border
eight or ten companies, with which he
formed a cordon along the line. Six
companies were left in the
vicinity of San Bernardino, un
der Colonel Biddle. It was
with one of these companies that I was
stationed. It is a terrible country that
Gen. Crook is in. It is perfectly desolate.
The prosperous ranches that used to stand
along the base of the mountains have
been swept away by the savages, and an
occasional isolated hamlet is all that is leit
of the villages. The great difficulty that
Gen. Crook has to contend with is the
scarcity of water. The scouts only know
one or two places where water can be
found, but the fugitives know where every
drop is in the mountains. The
most cordial relations existed be
tween Gen. Crook and the Mexican
authorities and his plans and intentions
were fully approved by them. I think
that no uneasiness need le felt for the
safety of Gqn. Crook and his men. AVe
had no idea down there other than that he
knew what he was about, and that he
would come out all right.”
Cliiricahuas Suing: for Peace.
AVilcox, Arizona, May 31.—Advices
from San Carlos state that Lolos, his wife,
Sa, son-in-law, daughter and granddaugh
ter k and grandchildren, with 14 women
and 6 bucks, have surrendered to the
military authorities near San Carlos.
The Indians are direct from Mexico and
report that all the ho6tiles are ready and
anxious to surrender, so that a speedy
ending of the Indian war in Mexico and
a return of General Crook to Arizona is
anticipated.
These Indians|were among the number
of Cliiricahuas who left their reservation
a year ago last April.

The Crop Outlook.
Petersburg, May 81.—The most dis
couraging accounts of the crops in the
different sections of the State are coming
in, Cottou is coming up badly, and the
tobacco plants are small and in some in
stances drying up in patches. If a full
crop of tobacco is made it will be very
late. In the peanut section many farm
ers have been forced to replant, in con
quence of the seed planted having become
rotten.
Merrick Still Talking.
Washington, May 31.—Mr. Merrick
occupied the entire day. It was the third
day of his speech in his closing argument
for the government in the star route
trial. He had not concluded when the
hour of adjournment arrived.
Throughont the day Merrick was in
terrupted by questions from the jurors,
indicative of their deep interest in the
case.
Strobach’s Trial Closing.
Montgomery, Ala., May 31.—The
Strobaeh trial is progressing in the United
States Court. The prosecution will finish
the examination of its witnesses fo-day,
and the defense will besrip to-morrow.
The case is ably contested on both sides,
and attracts great crowds.
LIFE IN TALLAHASSEE.
The Pretty Floridian City Following the
Even Tenor of It* Way.
Tallahassee, May 29.-The Tallahas
see District Conference of the M. E.
Church, South, was in session last week
at Miccosukie, a pleasant little village in
the northern part of this county. Eleven
clerical and twenty-four lav delegates
were iu attendance. Two topics came in
for a large share of consideration, and
elicited considerable debate Sunday
schools and temperance. The action
taken by the late General Conference on
the former has stirred the entire church,
aud is in accordance with the progressive
spirit of the age; while in the latter this
denomination in Florida has never given
forth an uncertain sound. Indeed the so
ealled local option law passed by our last
Legislature is due in a great measure to
the earnest ett'orts of the respectable body
of Christians in our State. The Confer
ence, after a harmonious session ot three
clays, adjourned on Saturday, 26th instant.
Messrs. G. W. Taylor, Jesse Wood, Theo.
Trumbull and B. S. Meginniss were elect
ed delegates to the annual conference
which will meet in Madison in January
I find that tlie Bermuda onion is more
generally praised iu this county than I
had thought. Besides Mr. John C. Crai<*
whom I mentioned in my last as a sifc
eessful grower, Mr. Henr'v S. Elliott and
several others have succeeded admirably.
| I Do seed, however, are necessarily oii
tained through a London house. Even in
Bermuda, they procure all their seed from
the Mediterranean Isles, where it is indi
genous. Like the Irish potato, which,
though a native of this country, thrives
better in the country that gives to
it its name, so it is with
| this onion in the Isle of Ber
i muda, and so it may he here. So proiit-
I able has it proved this spring that arrange
ments are already being made for a large
supply of seed for next fall’s planting.
Wagons are coming in every day now
loaded with truck. Thomas I’. Roberts,
Esq., an old planter but anew trucker,
lias some twenty acres In Irish potatoes
this year. He ships from 7t> to 100 barrels
daily. It is quite a sight to sen* hits pro
cession of seven wagons as they come in
day after day. He says that the Irish
potato crop is the easiest made, requiring
less plowing tfian any other root crop.
Last year lit* made his first essay in truck
tanning on a small scale; was so success
ful that lie this year increased his area of
tillage, and next year he will doubtless
engage iu it on a still more extensive
scale.
In shipping garden truck speedv transit
is desirable. A bale of cotton is not in
jured hy a long passage and numerous
detentions en route. On the other hand,
a rise in the price of the staple in tlie
meantime benefits the shipper. Not so
with truck products. It is vitally neces
sary that they reach their destination in a
few days—the sooner the better. If they
are delayed the shipper suffers loss. Hence
rapid transit and sure and close connec
tions are desirable. To the shipper in
Florida there are two routes to New York
open—one by steamer from Savannah, the
other by steamer from Fernandina. What
is Savannah doing to secure her share of
these shipments? Are close con-
uections anil reasonable freight en
sured? Considering the large amount
of truck products now being shipped
to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York
and Boston, there should be a rapid and
close connection between here and Sa
vannah. As there is none, many of our
truckers are compelled to pay extra anil
ship by express. One freight train leaves
here at 5:15 p. m., lies over at Live Oak
several hours, and reaches Savannah next
day, long after the steamer has sailed. Is
it to be wondered at that many of out
truckers now prefer the Mallory line from
Fernandina? That line has "offered to
put on as many steamers as are needed.
By arrangements made with the T. C.
<fc W. R. It., a close connection is made
with the,Transit Road. The press of the
State wei e recently invited to Fernandina
t@ inspect the steamers of this line, and
handsomely entertained its their guests.
Furthermore this company oilers to take
out in their steamers on everv trip when
there is a large shipment of truck, one
trucker to be selected by his fellows, so
that he may report as to handling, etc.—
he is not only to receive free passage, but
his expenses while in New York
will be paid by the company. In
some respects, Savannah is prefer
erable as a shipping point, because there
are steamers leaving for Northern ports
every day in the week, except Sunday and
Monday, so that for live days in the week
the trucker ca'n make shipments. Will
not Savannah imitate Fernandina and af
ford equal facilities? Why cannot freight
shippers from here at 5:15 p. in. reach Sa
vannah in time for the steamer that sails
the next day? In three or four days at
most, our shipments should reach" New
York, but it has recently happened that
nine days have elapsed" before the con
signment was received. Of course, after
such a lapse of time, the shipper suffers
loss, for his veget ables do not bring enough
to pay freights.
Another of our old citizens has passed
away. Mr. Richard H. Bradford, who
migrated here from North Carolina in 1806,
died at his residence in this county last
night at 10 o’clock in his eighty-fourth
year. He was one of our most substan
tial cit izens, and in former years was act
ively identified in various" matters per
taining to the public weal. Though edu
cated for the bar, and admitted
to practice in his native State, he
confined himself exclusively to plant
ing after his retnoval here. Of a
modest and retiring disposition he never
sought office, but the office sought the
man. During the late war he represented
his county in the Legislature two terms,
and his superior intelligence, and plain,
practical common sense, was of infinite
service during that trying ordeal, when
passion more than reason prevailed.
With a collegiate education and a mind
enlarged bv extensive and varied read
ing, he was an interesting conver
sationalist with kindred spirits and
charmed them by his pleasant discourse.
Tallahassee is gradually emerging from
the condition in which "the late war left
her, and is slowly and steadily advancing
in her onward march to prosperity. One
after another element is developed, bring
ing money to the projector and con
tributing to the prosperity of the country.
Particularly is this illustrated in the suc
cess of Mr. 11. ft. Wilts, senior member of
the firm of Wilts & Demitt, tobacco
manufacturers. Mr. Wilts had observed
that the area of tobacco culture in Cuba
was very limited, and becoming less and
less every year. Why, he reasoned, could
not equally as good tobacco lie raised in
Florida? He observed the method of cul
tivation in Cuba, purchased some seed,
and planted in Gadsden county. From
this tobacco he made cigars equal to the
very best Havanas. He obtained more
seed, distributed them, offering to pur
chase all the tobacco raised, and giving
the necessary directions as to its culture,
lie located here about two years ago. At
first his means were so limited that he
could hire no hands, but gradually his
business increased, his brand became
known, and now the firm advertise
for one hundred thousand pounds
of Florida tobacco, will soon have
in their employ twenty hands, and con
template putting uj) a warehouse in the
fall. The great difficulty with them is the
supply. They say that they purchase all
the tobacco raised in their immediate sec
tion, or most of it. But there is not enough
raised for their demand. Mr. Wilts, wfto
is a close observer, says that Florida is
the only State where Cuba tobacco can be
raised successfully. Peculiar grades re
quire peculiar soils, and Florida’s is the
only soil, except a limited area in Cuba,
adapted to this particular grade.
It is hoped that our mails will settle
down into regularity after awhile. 1
asked one of our post office officials the
other day if he would tell me which wav
mails by the Savannah 10:30 a. m. train’s
came? He said they came nov from all
directions. Last week, for several days
we had no Northern mail bv the 7 a. m.

should have reached here this morning
has not put in an appearance. Possibly
an accommodating route agent has let it
go on to Pennsacola, Mobile or New Or
leans. All these matters are a little an
noying, but it is well, perhaps, to have
some variety, for it keeps us on the out
vire — we go to the post office both at morn

KENNEDY BEATEN BY TWENTY
LENGTHS WITH EASE.
The Three Miles with a Turn Done in
10 Minutes anil 4 Seconds Kennedy's
Time 48 Seconds Slower—The Water as
Smoot li as (ilass—The Result a Fore
gone Conclusion with the Wise Ones.
Boston, May 31.—The match race at
single sculls between Edward Ilanlan, of
Toronto, and John A. Kennedy, of Port
land, Me., for $2,500 a side occurred this
afternoon at Point of Pines. The distance
was three miles with a turn. A smart
rain, just previous to the race, which it
was feared would make rough w ater and
prevent the -race, had the opposite
effect, and when the men were
called out a smoother course was ratelv
seen on lake or river. The start was ef
fected at 6:34 o’clock. Kennedy soon took
a slight lead, which he kept during the
first mile, Haitian, however, keeping Ken
nedy well up to his work. It was a pret
ty race tor that distance. There were
then tears of a foul and indications that
both men were going out ot their course.
Ilanlan was apparently the rat to discover
this and thereby gained IJeral lengths.
By this time Ilanlan had ... aded Kennedy
and lie tpraeri tlie stake Isiaf four or five’
lengths in advance. After the first mile
Ilanlan evidently had the race in his own
hands, and after turning the stake boat
occasionally reduced his stroke to a
minimum and rowed at ease, while
Kennedy kept nearly the same stroke
throughout the race.
1 lie official time gave Ilanlan Iff minutes
and 4 seconds, ami Kennedy Iff minutes
and 52 seconds.
Several thousand Spectators w atched the
event, but Hanlan’s victory was a fore
gone conclusion with the sporting frater
nity, who were out in full force and saw
their offers of long odds on the doughty
little Canadian going begging for
takers. Old heads at the business
vowed that a prettier course, barriug the
turn, was never seen. The surface of
the water was as smooth as the waxed
tlqor of U dancing pavilion, and the shells
ot the oarsmen seemed to cut its placidity
without a roll. Both men appeared to lie
in pretty good trim, but the
certainty of the result, except with a
speculative few w ho are ever on theelert
tor an unexpected uccident, had a cooling
effect on any intensity of interest. A few
enthusiasts moved about among the
“moneyed men,” expressing great deal
ot confidence in Kennedy’s staying pow
ers and chances for winning, but when
pressed to back their babbling w ith some
thing more substantial, they almost w ith
out exception failed to come to the front.
The crowd was also augmented with a
lew knowning ones,who brought a pointer
or two with them front the famous dark
days at Racine and Chautauqua and fore
told in confidential undertones of “some
thin’ which will suprise some of ’em aire
wise ones.” The value of their predic
tions have already been bulle
tined. A generous sprinkling of
ladies lent animation to the scene, and
though they thought it “just too mean for
anything for that stumpy little Britisher
to win,” nevertheless were as demonstra
tive as anybody when Ilanlan spurted
across the line which made him the vie.
tor. Taken all in all, the race, for a side
affair, was voted a thorough success.
The Classification of Cotton.
Atlanta Constitution.
The committee recently appointed by
the New York Cotton Exchange to con
sider the question of inspection and clas
sification ol cotton lias made two reports
one signed by the majority and the other
signed by the minority. The majority re
j>ort declares that some plan should be
adopted whereby cotton once delivered
and classed upon contract shall be deliv
erable upon the same classification. The
report says that there should be an in
spector of cotton who shall be the chair
man of the warehouse and delivery com
mittee; and that there should he a classi
fication committee composed of three
members of the exchange, experts In cot
ton, to be appointed by the Board of Man
agers.
The report describes the duties of in
spector of cotton. When called upon he
is to have carefully inspected, sampled In
duplicate, classed and class-marked, have
carefully weighed according to class
mark, and have delivered to the classifi
cation committee the original samples of
each grade in a separate paper, with the
mark corresponding to that put upon the
bales, accompanied by the shipper’s mark,
if desired by owner, receiver or shipper.
He is to send duplicate samples
and weighmaster’s returns to the
owner. He is to keep a record- of
all his inspections, and when the classifi
cation committee have returned to
him the samples with then- certificate as
to grade, he is to make a record of same
and instruct the warehouseman to issue
his receipt for the cotton in accordance
with the marks, class and weights. In
case the warehouseman has already
issued his receipts according to marks
alone, he is to add thereto the claqs and
weights, if desired by the owner when
instructed to do so by the Inspector.
Such warehouse receipt, properly in
dorsed, shall be a good delivery for any
part ot a contract as to grade; and if
the parties to a contract have agreed as
to allowance for loss in weight, the bill
shall be paid in full on presentation of
warehouse receipt on the fifth day after
notice of delivery. But if they have not
agreed as to allowance for loss in weight,
then an approximate amount is to be paid
on such delivery ol warehouse receipt,
aud cotton is to be weighed as soon there
after as practicable, or may be weighed
the day before delivery of documents. A
contract is not to he deliverable from
more than two warehouses.
The decision of the classification com
mittee as to grade is to be final. Suitable
brands are to be provided for the different
contract grades, and all inspected cotton
is to be branded w ith the grade as soon
as decided, upon by the classification
committee. Tl.e first delivery of anv cot
ton on contract shall bo made through the
inspector auil classification committee,
but any subsequent delivery of
same cotton shall be made by ware
house receipt. When cotton has
not been previously classed, and notice
for delivery has not been made
before the 25th of the month, or no
notice given? and the amount to be de
livered is greater than can be received
before the end of the month, owing to the
weather, or any circumstances beyond
the control of the inspector or receiver,
then the latter shall have not exceeding
five days of the following month to receive
the balance of Ills contracts.
The cotton exchange is to be responsi
ble for false packed cotton (if the same
has been inspected by the inspector) to
the last receiver and shipper, if discover
ed on taking it out of warehouse, hut ail
liability shall cease after it has been
shipped away.
The minority report, which is signed bv
one member of the committee only, differs
from tiic majority report mainly on the
question mbether there should be two
forms of delivery or only one. The former
report holds that the seller should, in all
cases, have cotton prepared and classed
and transfer to buyer by warehouse cer
tificate.
