Zanzibar, Aug. 26.—There was no rioting here as a result of the sultan’s was expected. The night passed quietly. Said Kh did is still in possession of the palace square, the guns of which are trained on the British warships Philomel, Thrush and Spar row, which have lauded sailors to pro tect the British consulate, where all the ladies are lodged. The warships are moored opposite the palace square and their commanders are awaiting orders from the British government. As already cabled, Khalid took pos session of the palace immediately after OrchardNuphcTT Did Not Snicido. Hew York, Aug. 26.—A special cable to The Herald from Havana, says that the report recently published in which it was stated that General D. Frederico Ochaudo of the Spanish army in Cuba, had an encounter with swords with Captain General Weyler in the palace in Havana, is untrue. It was said that while General j Ochaudo was away from Havana, his | nephew, a Spanish lieutenant, was sum- j moned to. the palace, and that General Weyler accused him of being in corres pondence with the insurgents. Accord ing to report the lieutenant was then j given the choice of a eonrtmartial or j suicide and that he chose the latter and ! shot himself. This, it was stated, caused the encounter between General Weyler and General Ochaudo. General Ockaudo’s nephew died of yellow fever, and the general was at his bedside when death came. Ho was never accused of disloyalty. General Weyler, Pnlmorohi, secretary of the general government in Cuba, and sev eral other palace officials, attended the young mail’s funeral. the announcement of tlie death of the sultan, Hamid Bin Thwain Bin Said, CTsed to hold their cotton and proclaimed hnusaif sultan.

Picking is going on at a faster rate than for mauy years at this season of the year and the September receipts will be enormous. The fields all over Geor gia are fairly white with the staple. Mr. R. J. Redding, one pf the best in formed farmers in the state, reports that he has given a careful inspection to the cotton crops from Spalding county as far north as Fioyd and that in his opin ion the yield will not be less than 25 per cent short of what was expected five weeks ago. Iu some parts of the state he believes that -the damage has amounted to 33 per cent. Mr. Redding is of the opinion that the damage has been much greater iu other cotton states than it has in Georgia and his position at the head of The Georgia agricultural experiment station places him where he can get a clearer idea of the situation iu the south than almost any other man in Georgia. He asserts that he will not bo in the least surprised if the damage to the entire crop will amount to 33 per cent. Eleven million bales was the general estimate of the yield before the hot wave set in. Now conservative proph ets declare that 8,000.000 is not too small an estimate. Frrmers are being ud- for 10 cents. It is claimed by those who give this advice that the demand of the world calls for 9,000,000 bales every yen.r and that at best no more than 8,500,000 can be expected after the disastrous effect of the recent unfavorable dry and hot weather.

Macon’, Ang. 24 —Rev. Dr. Alonzo Monk, tho pastor of the Mulberry Street Methodist church, and Reporter Tilden Adamson of the Macon Telegraph, were the principals in a sensational scene at the church Sunday night. During the services Dr. Monk said ho thought it justice to himself and to his church he should make a statement relative to the sermon he preached on Aug. 16 against the saloons of Macon and the happen ings that have followed this sermon. In the sermon last Sunday night, Dr. Monk was specially severe on the vau deville that runs in connection with Pntzell’s saloon, and made strictures against the moral character of the per formers. On Monday the mayor ordered the vaudeville closed, based on the denunci ation of Dr. Monk. On tho following night, however, the mayor revoked his order and allowed the vaudeville to open on the representation of the actors anil actresses that they were persons of good character and had been unjustly as sailed by Dr. Monk. The Telegraph published an account of Dr. Monk’s sermon, and also pub lished cards from several of the vaude ville performers. " Dr. Monk said he thought The Tele graph had done him *■ great injustice and had allowed its columns to be used by persons of questionable character to attack him. It is said that the doctor was quite emphatic in his criticism on The Telegraph. Reporter Adamson says that Dr. Monk, in the course of his remarks, made use of the following ex pression: “A low, designing person” and employed it in such connection that Adamson thought that the doctor re ferred to him. As soon as the services ivere ended and the congregation was leaving the church, young Adamson went to Dr. Monk iu the pulpit and demanded, so it is said, au explanation of Dr. Monk’s remarks. Adamson asked Dr. Monk if he referred to him as “a low, designing person.” Dr. Monk replied that he did not, and if Adamson so thought he was laboring under a misapprehension. Ad amson was satisfied and started to de scend the steps of the pulpit when Dr. Monk addressed him about to this effect: “ ifouug man, I understand that you said that I would hold you to personal account and responsibility if ever you mentioned my name in- The Telegraph again?” Adamson replied that Dr. Monk had so told him. Dr. Monk denied that he had said any such tbiug. At this point the statements of what then passed between Adamson and Dr. Monk differ. Dr. Monk says that Adam] son called him a liar. Adamson says that he teld Dr. Monk that he must not say that he—Adamson—told a lie. It is said that when the “lie” was passed, the two men clinched. Several entlemeu present went to the rescue and Dr. Monk told them to put Adam son out of the pulpit and out of church, and in the scuffle several blows, it is said, were passed, young Adamson get ting his face bruised.

Spoons t ree to All, I read in the Christian Standard that Miss A. M. Fritz, Station A, St Louis, Mo., would give an ele gant plated hook spoon to anyone sending her ten 2 : cent stamps. I sent for one and found it so useful that I showed it to my friends, and made $13 in two hours, taking or ders for the spoon. The hook spoon is a household necessity. It cannot slip into the dish cr cooking vessel, being held in place by a hook on the back. The spoon is something housekeepers have needed ever since spoons were first invented. Any one can get a sample spoon by sending ten 2-cent stamps to Miss Fritz. This is a splendid way to make money around home.
