part me lit,
The August report of the statistician
of the depa.tment of agriculture at
Washington, issued Wednesday, shows a
reduction in the condition of cotton dur
ing July fiom 86.9 to 82.3. This is the
lowest average since August, 1880, when
the general condition was one point lower,
The season has been almost everywhere
too wet. though in South Carolina and
Georgia alternations of an excessive rain
fall aud a blistering sunsaine have been
injurious. Iu Texas the need ol
ram is reported by some cor
respondents. The natural result
of these conditions appears in grassy
fields, rank plant growth and small
fruitage, with considerable shedding,
Grassworms and caterpillars have ap
peared io the mor.* southern and
western damage districts, but no material
has yet resulted. The state av

ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.
Status of Trade Reported by R. 0 *
Dun k Co.
R. O. Dun & CN weekly review of
trn<’ei»*yR: in every respect, save one, l
bu-iness distinctly improves. Crop pros
jiects fire cleared, manufacturers are do¬
ing- finely, even in the iron branches, and
labor troubles seem to approach a settle¬ i
ment which is likely to be advantageous
and lasting. The domestic trade is of
enormous value and decidedly the largest
ever known for the sea-o:i.
At Boston trade is fairly active. At
Philsdelphia receipts of wool are large
and prices firm. The trade in paint and J
gl*‘8 is moderate; in liquors and chemi- 3
ca j g ac tj ve> HD d tobacco dull. At Balti— ■
mn re the fail ’radc opens with favorabl® .
auspices. Business at Chicago consid J
traMy exC eeds last year’s, and fair
crops and a laree business are expected. 1
Business «t Kansas City is satisfactory,
though collections are slow, but receipts
( ,f cattle and grain are large at fair
prices. At-Louisville trade improves and
the outlook is better. At Little Rock
business is quiet, but at Savannah well
sustained. At New Orleans money is in
-
improved , demand , . at . a slight , . advance; ,
cotton is steady and sugar firm. Pig iron
is on the whole no weaker, though bes
semer h> s sold at Pittsburg for $13.90,
and southern sales at Chicago have de
pressed gray forge to $12, equal to $8.1^
at Birmingham. The demand for bar is
m reactive, and plate, sheet and scruc
tural turai mills mins are arc crowaeu crowded wixn with orders oraers.
Shoe factories are unusually crowded,
nnd sbipmen's for the we, k reached 90,
000 cas' b against 80,000 last year. Sales
of wool increased largely, and for the
year at the three chief points are 174,
*000,000 pounds against 148,000,000 last
year to date.
Speculation lias made higher prices for
bread stuffs, half a cent for wheat, in
spite of receipts at the wo t exceeding a
million bushels per day with exports of
800,000 bushels in three dayi. Corn has
been advanced nearly 5 cents on small
sales, and oats 2 3-4 cents, western re¬
ports favoring shorter estimates. CoRoq
has declined an eighth on sales of 590,
009 bales for the week, crop receipts
being more favorable.
C ffee is an eighth stronger and oil
8 8 of a cent lower.
Business failures occurring throughout
the c untry during the l ist seven days as
reported to It. G. Dun & Co., number
for the United States, 1G0. For the cor¬
responding week of last year there wero
207 faihires in the United States.
KING NOT TO HANG.
Governor Buchanan Commutes His Sen¬
tence io Life Imprisonment.
A Nashville dispatch says: Colonel H.
Clay Iv ng, of Memphis, the murderer of
David II. Poston, wdl not bo hanged on
Friday. Governor Buchanan, Tuesday
afternoon, commuted his sentence to im¬
prisonment for life. Every other means
had been exhau-ted, and the governor
had the final say as to whether the pris¬
oner should die. The supreme court
of the state had affirmed the death
sentence; United States Circuit Judge
Howell E. Jackson had denied a writ
of habeas corpus, and denied the
right of appeal, and it developed Tues¬
day that Justice llailan had been appeal¬
ed to for a writ of error, and had sus¬
tained Judge Jackson’s decision. So that
Colonel King’s only chance to escape the
gallows was for the governor to inter¬
fere. Governor Buchanan has received
n—
tence sigued by fully twenty thousand
people, while the counter petitions, ask¬
ing that he not interfere, were signed by
fully as many people. Mrs. King not
only appealed to the governor, but visit¬
ed his home and beseeched his wife to
exert her influence with the governor.
The news of the commutation was re¬
ceived by the l ostons with hot indigna¬
tion and in this they have many friends
with them. The Memphis Appeal-Ava¬
lanche expresses the prevailing sentiment
in the course of an editorial iu which it
reviews the case and adds, “If his (the
governor’s) determination in the King
case is to be taken as a precedent, then
we see no reason why any other
crimnal should ever be hanged
iu Tennessee. King, in cold blood,
after careful deliberation, shot David II.
Poston, unarmed and unsuspecting. It
was a highway assassination in which
the victim v, as given no chance to defend
himself. There could not have been a
murder more heinous.”
The Postons will not say what they ex¬
pect to do about it, but there is no doubt
that the penitentiary would be the safest
place for King.
COMPLIMENTING CRISP.
Tli© New York World Has Good Things
to Say of Him.
The New York World of Saturday, in
a review of congress, says of Speaker
Crisp: “No democrat in congress, in
speaking of the record of the present
house, fails to pay a warm tribute to
Speaker Crisp. It was claimed for Judge
Crisp by his friends at the time of his
election that he possess, d all of the qual¬
ities necessary to success in that responsi¬
ble < ffice, and it is the general judgment
now that he has justified iu his high
ph’.ce the most generous things said of
him. He has been, indeed, a
most model presiding office-, prompt,
courteous, entirely fair to both sides,
aud resolute whenever ;h, occasi n de¬
manded. His decisions have alw ays been
ratified by the house, and his private
counsels to his party friends have always

C0NDITI0N OF GRAIN
For the Month of August is Reported
as Being Very Low.
Crop returns uf the department of ag¬
riculture at Wasbington show a slight
improvement in" the condition of corn
raising, the monthly average being from
81.1 in July to 82.5 in August. In only
four years since the initiation of crop re¬
porting has there been a lower August
condition. In the year of the worst, fail¬
ure, 1881, it was 79, declining to 06 in
October. In 1890 it was 73.3, declining
to 70 6 in Octobtr. In August, 1876, it
was 80.7, and in 1887 it was 80.5, de
dining later only ia the latter year.
A slight improvement is indicated in
the states north of the Ohio river, and
greater advance in states west of the Mis¬
sissippi river, except Kansas and Nebras¬
ka. The condition is high in nearly all
southern states, nearly the same as in July
in breadth west of the Mississippi, higher
in the lower statis of the Atlantic coast,
and slightly lower in Alabama and Mis¬
sissippi. A small decline is seen in the
middle states, except New York, and al¬
so in the eastern states, though in both
of these divisions the average is highei
tfeau ia the westy- The following aver¬
ages of principal Georgia, states are Ohio, given: Iowa, New
York, 90; 97; 81;
79; Nebraska, 80; Pennsylvania, 86;
Texas, 94; Indiana, 74; Missouri, 83; Vir¬
ginia, 90; Tennessee, 92; Illinois, 78;
Kansas, 81. Most correspondents indi¬
cate the present tendency to further im¬
provement. Returns relating to spring
wheat are lower, decling during the
month from a general average of 90.9 to
87.3. The reduction is from 90 to 86 in
Wisconsin, 92 to 87 in Minnesota, and 90
to 85 in North Dakota.
The condition of other crops averag*
as follows: Spring rye, 89.8, instead ol
92.7 in July; oats, 86.2, fall of 1 point;
barley, 91.1, instead of 92; buckwheat,
acreage. 101.3; condition, 92.9; pota¬
toes 86.8, declining from 90; tobacco,
88.8, fall from 92.7; hay, 93.2.
THE ALABAMA MUDDLE.
The Kolb People Are Indignant and
Claim that Fraud Was Perpetrated.
A Montgomery dispatch of Tuesday
says: No incident in the recent state elec¬
tion has caused the Kolb people to feel
more indignat than throwing out ten ol
the twenty-two boxes in Pike county,
by which means the countv, which w T ent
for K"lb by 910 majority, was given to
Jones by a majority of fifty-five. This
is what caused the peop’e of that county
to call a convention next Monday to
take steps to protect themselves in what
they consid r their rights.
County officers on the Kolb ticket will
push their contests and in the claim counties they of
Pike and Conecuh, that
will surely win before the jury. The
counted out legislators will contest for
their seats, and a Jones man says lie be¬
lieves the legislature published will s at them. dis¬
Kolb is out in a letter
puting the claims of Jones’ election. The
letter concludes: “I have b en fairly
and honestly elected by over forty thous
and majority, and the people of my na¬
tive state recognize 'he fact and will see
that justice is recorded by placing me at
the head of onr state government for the
next two years.” The letter crcat s a
sensation, and is regarded as evidence ol
Kolb’s intention to challenge the otficia
count, which is nearly completed and
fixes Jones’ majority at between nine aud
twelve thousand.

SIDSIC AT THE FAIR.
THE BEST TALENT OF THE
WORLD TO BE DRAWN UPON.
Four Fine Halls Will be Provided —
Distinguished Composers and
Musicians to Participate—
Range ot Performances.
1 yiTE lact that Theodore Thomas
is musical director of the
World's Columbian Exposition
is assurance sufficient that
music of the highest order and an ex¬
cellent programme will be provided.
The best musical talent of the world will
be drawn upon; tine halls will be pro¬
vided; and something like half a milliou
dollars will be expended to make the
musical features of the Exposition asuc
ccss. Two ot fhe halls or auditories
will cost each $100.1)00, and £175,000
has been set apart for an orchestra of
120 skilled musicians, who will be
drilled by Theodore Thomas, This
orchestra will be the nuc.eus about which
will be formed the grand choruses.
The halls have been officially agreed
unon aud their construction ordered.
Ihese will be advantageously situated
within the Exposition grounds:
1. A Recital Hall, for quartet, con¬
certs, etc., seating 500 people.
2. A Music Hall, with accommoda¬
tions for 220 players, 300 singers, and
an audience of 2000.
3. A Festival Hall, for performances
upon the largest practicable scale with
200 players, 2000 singers, and audience
of $7000.
The Music Hall will contain a fine
concert orgau, aud in. Festival Hall will
be placed an organ for chorus support.
The appointed Commissioner tc
Europe who was sent to tender the
invitation of the Exposition to the most
distinguished composers has returned
with an encouraging report which in
sures a series of international concerts
unprecedented in point of scope and
character.
The invitation of the Bureau of Music
to choral societies to co-operate because
of their love of art and the pride they
have in the opportunity the Exposition
will afford to show to the world the ar¬
tistic level of the United States in music
has brought many assurances of support.
Inasmuch as it would be manifestly im
possible for the same chorus to take pari
in all choral performances, this work wil
be divided among choral societies of the
entire country.
The entire range of the performance
proposed may be seen from the following
tentative classification:
First—Serai-weekly high grade or¬
chestral concerts in Music Hall.
Second—Semi-monthly high grade
choral concerts in Music Hall.
Third—Six series of international con¬
certs, choral aud orchestral, each con¬
sisting of from four to six in Festive
Hall and in Music Hall.
Fourth—Three series of three con¬
certs each of oratorical festivals by uni¬
ted American choral societies in Festival
Hall.
Fifth—Concerts in Festival Hall un¬
der the auspices of German siugiug so¬
cieties.
Sixth—Concerts In Festival Hall un
der the auspices of Swedish singing so¬
cieties.
Seventh -Six series of popular miscel¬
laneous festival concerts by American
singers.
Eighth—Twelve children’s concerts
by Sunday-schools, public school and es¬
pecially organized children's choruses.
Ninth—Chamber music concerts anc
organ recitals.
Tenth—Popular concerts of orches¬
tral music, to be given daily in Choral Hal
during the six months of the Exposition.
To successfully carry on such a series
of performances as are outlined above s
large corps of musicians will be needed,
some of whom will be engaged during
the entire period of the Exposisionj
others for single and series performances.
Regarding the standard of perfor¬
mance to be observed in all depart¬
ments of Exposision music the Musical
Director holds that while co-operation is
asked of all grades of attainment
every musical illustration there produced
must be justifiable upon artistic princi¬
ples. That is to say, it must be what it
honestly purports to be.
Warfare of the Future.
High explosive 3 , hitherto untried in
either military or naval contests, will
play a large and important part in the
warfare of the future. The most power¬
ful at present known is “explosive gela¬
tine,” being fifteen times as strong as
gunpowder. It is made by dissolving
gun-cotton in nitro-glycerine ,the prep¬
aration having the consistency oi
honey. Unfortunately, it is very unsafe
stuff to use in battle, because a bullet
striking it will set it off by concussion.
No explosive is good for fighting pur¬
poses that can be touched off by shock
or otherwise than by actual contact with
fire. A novel kind of bomb is filled
with what the inventor calls “hellofite.”
The two chemical ingredients, binitro
benzole and nitric acid, are in sepa¬
rate glass vessels, which are broken when
the shot is fired, their contents being
mixed together by the rapid revolution
of the shell, and exploded by the time¬
fuse. Wonderful accounts are given of
the havoc created by the bursting of
projectiles of this description. Up to
the present time no method of throwing
high-power explosives from guns by
means of gunpowder has been proved
successful, although one scientific
gentleman has wasted $300,0^0 which of
Uncle Sam's money in experiments
only resulted in bursting many valuable
cannon. However, trials that are being
conducted under Government auspice;
with a new mixture termed “emmea
site” seem likely to solve this problem.
Until now only pneumatic guns have
been found available for such, purposes,

An Inhuman Practice.
A correspondent writes from Calcutta,
India, of a most inhuman practice carried
on there by the native infantry. He
says that a regiment is summoned to the
jail at Alipore every six months to fire
tea rounds of blank ammunition in the
direction of the sixteen hundred convicts
imprisoned there. These unfortunates
crouch down in their cells and tremble
with fear, expecting every moment to be
put to death. It is supposed that the
authorities do this to intimidate and
prevent the prisoners fiom attempting tc
escarse. To add to this inhuman practice

THE SUB-TREASURY BILL.
The Ways and Means Committee Make
an Adverse Report.
A Washington dispatch of Friday
says: The committee on ways and means
through Air. McMillin, to-day made a
unanimous report adverse to the sub
trensury bill. The report is a long doc¬
ument t nd discusses till phases of the
question in a comprehensive style. It
begins by defeiri g, for a time,the ques¬
tion of the constitutional ty of the bill,
and proceeds to state objections that oc¬
cur to the committee. They me bridly
stated as follows: If there should be a re¬
duction in the value of goods, after they
are stored, below 80 per cent,the govern¬
ment would lose; if h; valu- increased
the government w ould get none of the
profit. The jurisdiction of federal courts
would be increased so as to make them
an instrument of oppression to the peo¬
ple. The bill tends s'rong'y toward*
centralization and interference with in¬
dividual freed a. A great fluctuation
in currency rdT its enactment.
The inauguration of the scheme would
be the speculator’s delight; he could
carry $250,000 worth of wheat with less
than $05,000 cash and pay the govern¬
ment only 1 per cent interest. The
grt at iucrease in the number of federal
officials would make it almost im
possible to dislodge a corrupt
administration. No provision is
made for the redemption of the
many millions to be issu d under the bill
and banks would have the power to force
the destruction of any part of the govern¬
ment’s money. The bill is class legisl i
cion, and it would be unj ist to the day
labor< r and other toilers. People having
a particular kind of property to depo-ii
could get mouey at one per cent from the
government and lend it at a higher rata
to other per ons. Lastly it is violative
of the constitution as is shown by eka
tions from the highest judicial tribunals
of law.
NEW YORK’S APPORTIONMENT.
The Act Declared to be Unconstitulion*
al and Void, by Judge liuinsey.
A dispatch from Rochester, N. Y.,
says: Judge Rumsey, on Friday, handed
down a decision in the case of the Mon¬
roe county board of supervisors, declar¬
ing the appointment act void and un¬
constitutional. The decision is based
mainly upon the ground that representa¬
tion in many of the districts is unequal
and that the constitutional provision in
this respect has been plainly disregarded,
The court holds that the inequ dities are
so gross as to senate and assembly d s
tricts that it is manifested that the dis¬
cretion of the iegisla ure was exceeded
and, therefore, the act is void. The j
court cites 55, New York; 55, Wiscon
sin case; 51, northwestern report, and a j
Michigan case just decided.
VALUABLE FREIGHT.
Twenty Millions in Gold Shipped From
San Franscisco to New York.
A dispatch from Omaha, Neb., says:

tix coaches were guarded by a comp my of
