Resolved. That it is the sense of {his convention that the advantages of a 24x54 gin press: first, in securing a bale of uni form size, thereby causing it to occupj - less storage space: second, because it .will oc cupy less space and admit of closer pack ing on board car and ship, should be forci bly Impressed on every cotton planter, as the lessening storage and transportation charges increases the value of the crop in the hands of the planter. Resolved further. That it is the sense of this convention that all warehousemen should stamp on cotton receipts the words “standard bale” ie all cases where bale has been pressed In a ?4x54-inch press, in order that exporters can readily Identify the same, to the end that they may be enabled thereby to secure lower ocean freight rates.

New York, June 10.—A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: The British government has ha i unusual trouble in filling the vacancy forth? vice royalty of Canada. Numerous candidates for the place have been mentioned, but no appointment has been made.

Lord Wolsley is at once a sol Her and a diplomat equal to any work which ho may be called upon to perform. If he decides | to accept the offer, which has undoubtedly ! be;n made, he will retire from the army and devote th? remainder of his life to of ficial work as governor general and to the completion of the memoirs, which he has long desired to write. At the same time the acceptance of Lord Wolsley will create a vacancy in the office of commander in chief, which the friends of Lord Robert would like to have their favorite fill.

WAS NOT AN AD. Which Dental Association Accuses Drs. Holmes and Mason of Printing. The Constitution today says: Referring to the publication in today’s 'Constitution concerning the proposed in vestigation by the 'Georgia Dental Associa tion of an alleged violation by Dentists Holmes and Mason, of ‘Macon, of ethical doctrines in that “these gentlemen re cently forming a partnership allowed a statement to appear in a IMacon paper that they were pulling teeth as efficiently and as cheaply as any dentists in Macon,” it can be stated in behalf of these gentlemen that they were in no way responsible for the notice in the Macon paper. Dr. J. M. •Mason recently returned from Texas and renewed his partnership with Dr. Walter :R. Holmes, and a local paper, in voluntari ly mentioning the fact, committed the un pardonable sin of which the association complains. The notice was not a paid ad vertisement.

GREAT DAMAGE DONE TO FORTS And Thought to Have Been Great Loss of Life as Re sult of Battle. New York, June 10 —(A special to the Herald from Santiago de Cuba Wednesday via Kingston, Jamaica. Thursday, says: Rear Admiral Sampson is confident that in addition to the great damage done to the forts and earthworks at the entrance of Santiago harbor, more than one-half of the Spanish guns were actually dismantled. Perhaps even this estimate may be found too low when the full effect of that terrible rain of shot and shell becomes fully known. The extent to which the enemy was crip pled is further shown by the eagerness with which they are attempting to repair their disabled batteries and put them in a condition to resist further punishment by our warships. These efforts have so far not been at tended with succeas. It has been learned that during the bombardment on Monday the Dolphin attacked a railroad train with a shell from one of her guns. The train was filled with Spanish troops and it is known that many of them were killed. ‘sl.oo Negligee Shirts. Genuine Madras. Clem Phillips.

LOST FRIENDS ANO MONEY And in Seven Short Years He Came From the Fifth Avenue Hotel to a Padded Cell. New York, June 10.—The World this morning says: Prince Alexandrovitch Ga litzin, descended from royal ancestry, was taken from the Bellevue Hospital yester day and lodged in a padded cell at Bloom ingdale Asylum. After running the entire social gamit from the most exclusive houses to the co terie of Bohemia, he passed into the land of lost minds. (He “went broke” several days ago. Now he has gone mad and is suffeiing from acute mania. The cause is abject poverty and want. Early in the summer of 1890 a small, black-haired, dark-eyed young man arriv ed from Europe and registered at the Fifth Avenue Hotel as Prince Alexandrovitch Galitzin, St. Petersburg. He was perfectly dressed and spoke English readily. He had money and made friends easily. 'A visit to Washingto nresuliad in his ap pointment to a semi-official position at the Russian embassy. He was presented to President Harrison and attended the levees given during the winter at the Whitehouse. He was even more popular at the capital than in New York, and for two y?ars lived quietly on an allowance received from a sister in Moscow. 'During his occasional visits to the metropolis he was persona grata with 'Consul General Olarovski, who entertained him several times at his house. In the summer of 1894 an uncle of this young man, named Prince Gregory Galat zin, arrived in this country. He was a lieutenant general in the Russian annr, a man of fifty and possessed large wealth. He traveled like an Indian rajah. He acknowledged the relationship with his nephew, but did not attach him to his royal court. 'After that the pathwaj' of the younger prince became smoother at fiist, but ne finally lost his money and friends.

In Terre Haute are the Majestic and Indiana distilleries, controlled by the America Distributing Company. President Curtis, of this company, also gave options. The Woolners, of Peoria, were next to consent, with the understanding that a member of their firm shoud be one of the directors. “All options given are said to expire on the first of the coming month. For that reason the promoters are particularly anxious ip reach sufficient money to float the combination before that time, hence Mr. Greenhut’s visit to St. Louis.
