Estimates of the Texas cotton crop
baaed on the tenor of reports from each
county, regardless of the number of
aslos produced, aro misleading. As an
instance, San Patricio county shows li )

mcronsa of 50 per cent for the two
counties. But San Pa' iciu’s iucrease
amounts to 14 ) bales, while Brazoria's
decrease will reach 7,C ) or 8,000; the

“The literary bureau of the liepubli

ing a series of letters from business
men of the South who say they will
support McKinley and Roosevelt this
year. John S. Williams, president of
the Seabord Air Line, whose name is
not unfamiliar in Wall stroot. was the
“Southern' man whose letter was given
out to-da
“I shall vote for McKinley, and I
hope for his election, ” say Mr. Will
iams. “because I feel that Mr, Bryan
was sincere and truthful wheu he pub
licly declared, 'If I can prevent the
maintenance of the gold standard you
rely upon my doing it the very
first opportunity I have.'
I represent K ),00n employed men
of the best classes of American citi

feel my responsibility to both. The

that I am doing mv part os an Ameri

Mi. Williams says he foresees, in
case of Mr. Bryan's electiou, “a freo

cabinet built to fit," with “tho mortal

The American people can be trusted,’’

FIRE ADDS TO THE HORROR

‘‘EVILS OF DIVERSIFICATION.”
With the text, “Evils of Diversifica
tion, "a Texas correspondent of the Gal-
eston News tells a tale about a certain
merchant and diversifying farmer. It
seem that some time ago the farmer, m
making arrangements with the mer
chant for his year's supplies, mortgaged
his two males. Since then times have
chanced with (ho farmer. He began to
bring eggs and chickens to the poultry -
men in town and sold thorn at top price.
The money went into bank. Later on
he sold his wheat and oats. With the'r
proceeds he redeemed his mules and
still had money to spare. That, too,
went into bank. Early in tho present
season ho brought to town sovc-al bales
of cotton and sold them at nine cents a
pound and his cottonseed at $12 a ton.
By that time he had becomo a capitalist.
He felt so good that he went to bis mer
chant and offered to lend $50!) on good
security if he needed it. This was turn
ing the tables with a vengeanco. The
merchant knew that he had no right to
ho angry.bat said that it seemed to him
little impndent tho wav the monoy
was flashed in his face. It will be a long
time before all the Southern’fsrmers
are able to enjoy snch evils of diversifi
cation, but they are getting there. It
has been quite a while since 10-cont
cotton was any where in sight. During
that time the farmers have learned that
there is money in other things than
cotton. Tney will make no mistake in |
alibiing by the practices which have j
enabled them to raise mortgages with
out the aid of lu-cent cotton.

occupied by Tarrant <& Co., wholesale
druggists. Thu tlremau responded
the call, but they had not reached

occurred, more violent than the first. A
column of debris and smoke and flame
shot upward 300 feet. Persons in tho
vicinity say they saw human bodies
thrown up in the column of debris when
the explosion occurred.
Four oxplosions occurred in rapid sue-
sion. Tho Sixth avenue elevated rail

molished at that place. Windows In

Five alarms of fire were turned in.

It was said that 100 of the employes in

A lithographing plant closo to tho
Tarrant place caught fire and the flames
spread to the Irving bank and to two
buildings across the street.
The Warren street station of the Ninth
Avenue Elevated, directly In front of
tho drug establishment, was completely
demolished and a number of persons
standing upon it waiting for a train
were blown down to the street and re
ceived serious injuries. Soveral womeu

A number of buildings at the rear of
the drugstore were blown down. The
flames spread very rapidly until the two
blocks from Chambers to Warren and
from Washington to Greenwich streets
were on firo.
Policeman Galvin was in the Immedi
ate vicinity of the Arc when the first se-
rios of explosions occurred. Ho said
that a number of firemon woro blown to
doath on tho Warren street side of tho
building. Ho said that he resened one
of them but that no living being conld
have resened the others.
Policeman Galvin said that in his be
lief not loss than 200 persons will bo
found to havo lost their lives. This was
on account of the suddenness ot the ex
plosions which rendered it impossible
for anybody who was in the building at
the time to escape. The force of the ex
plosion was beard and felt clear down
