A STARTLING STATEMENT.
Cotton
From Hhe President rtf Ithe
Giowcio* Association,
Now Orleans. .Ten »» _ito. Weetoe
D. Lane of Alelbama, president of the
American Cotton Growers’ Protective
Assoetotlosi, ho* furnished the follow
ing significant memorandum to the peo
ple of the South.
It goes without saying that If Any
thing like 3-cent cotton on plantations
Is witnessed next year, a general raift
will ensue. Real estate and securities
of all kinds -will rettoh such a level In
the South as few can Imagine.
‘European appeculators are today
selling cotton to Liverpool for delivery
In October, November, December, 1895,
at a price equivalent to nibout a cents
on farms In the South for middling,
or 5 cents at the ports. Believing that
another 9,500,000, or larger ordp, will be
grown In America, which would Insure
them a promt of at least 1 per
pound, which would moan to hhe farm
er about 3 cents at the railroad station
next autumn when cotton Is moving
in large volumes. It Is not to be sup
posed thlat these Shrawd European cot
ton peopCe are aggressively selling the
next crop at equal to 4 cents, unless
they have excellent reasons for bel’
lng that the South will plant another
monster crop.
“They are confident on Information
furnished them (tha* Texas will not de
crease Its acreage, therefore, believing
this to ho true to such an extent that
they will be able ito buy back next
fall the cotton they are now seEing at
much tower prices, realising therdby
handsome promts.
"It remains with the farmers and
merchants of ah- South whether these
European speculators will be permitted
to roup a golden harvest at the expense
cf the farmers, plantations, towns, real
estate and securities of the South.
“The above statement is from me of
ficially, and I desire thud It should be
presented to (the putfdc as such, t2vrou@h
the press. Rerpectfully,
(Signed.)

Chicago.Jam. 29.—Judge Grosrcup, at
the opening of this morning’s ees3lcm
, , , of the American Railway Union con-
rendered its rights under the treaties splracy trill. decided that the govern-
to offuet bounties hy the Imposition of
equivalent differential duties when
ever congress deems It. desirable to en
force them. A yea and nay vote upon
this amendment was had in the house,
resulting yeas 112, nays 156.
On this amendment t£ie Republicans
and Populists, with the exception of
Baker of Kansas voted aye and the
Democrats generally no.
The following Democrats voted with
the Republicans; Bonnes, Covert, Har
ris. Geary, Lester, Martin of Indiana,
Meyer, Brice and Ryan.
An amendment offered by Mr. Hitt
to repeal the one-eighth of a cent ad
ditional duty on refined sugars was re
jected by a vote of 85 to 109, and am
amendment by Mr. Vanvoorhls of New
York to place all sugars and molsi ses
on the free list was rejected, 75 to
120.
This action w.is taken at the request
of Mr. Wilson, chairman of the commit
tee on ways and means in charge of
the hill, who stated that the chances
of it becoming a law depended entirely
upon Its going through the house as
on Independent measure. In the shaps
in which It was reported.
IN THE SENATE. ,
The financial question was brought
to the front In the early part of to-,
day’s session of the senate by a.reao-*
lutlon by Mr. Manderson (Republican)
and which, after discussion, was re
ferred to the finance committee. It cm-'
braced seven propositions which, Mr.
Manderaon admitted, looked like a j
hodge-uodge. but which really were,
he said, a compromise that might, b)
and ought to be embodied Into law.
These were:
A reserve of 290,000,000 In gold and
200,000,000 In silver.
The Issue of bonde payable In gold
or silver.
The destruction of legnl tender notes
when paid in gold or stiver.
The exchange for live years, when
m»nt might bo permitted to Introduce
evidence showing tile issuance of or
ders. art! what the witnesses would re
gard as the execution of these orders.
This ruling was a heavy blow to the
-Wettje whloh tome prepared wiMi
volumnlous authorities to support its
position, but was not permitted to ar
gue the cirse. In substance, Judiyo
Grosscup said that If It should be prov
ed that in pursuance of the orders of
th> directors of ’the American Railway
Union, trains bearing mall bail been
rtopped or violence committed, the con-
nnlr.icy would be practically eflljibiish-
cd.

City of Mexico, Jan. IS).—The Two
Republics (dally newspaper) today con
tains au editorial on the intervention
of the Untied States in the Guatemalan
dispute, which may toe considered -as In-
dlcatlva of the general foeLng in Mex
ico. It is as follows:
The telegraphic announcement from
Washington that thu United States
would. If agreeable to Mexico, tnediatto
In the Meal co-Guatemala a question cre
ated no little surprise and considerable
dissatisfaction. Guatemala has from
tha commencement of tho present dis
pute Insisted on submitting the question
to the tirbltiU'tion of the government of
the United States. 'Mexico bag main
tained that the quern Ion having been
practically settled toy the treaty of 1882,
Is not of the character that should l>o
submitted to arbitration. In propos.ng
to submit the subject to arbitration
Guatemala merely wishes than 'the mat
ters which have beta fully dee ded and
agreed upon toy the two countries be
reopened ito discussion with the hopo
that a n 'W decision may be reached. It
was with tills view thait Guatemala pur
posely caused the .nvaslon of territory
Which had foi Iim'ly been in dispute, but
•whash was in the trea ty of 1882 agreed
ahouid.be regarded as Mexican.
Pending me Unal survey of the
bound.try, when Mexico protested
against ta.s procecdunre, Guatemala
coolly proposed that the on our be left
to aro.u’ai.on, and it Is understood tho
Uuatom.tuan minister in Washington on
four d.lf'-renia occasions asked the
United Mutes to oiler its servlceu for
a in. tr.it loti and on 'those tour occasions
the request was Hally refused. Now
tho announcement is made that the
United Blades government will offer to
Mexico in 'the interest of (the peace to
arbitrate the matter. Upon the whole,
the offer of the Unit'd States govern
ment, if correctly reported, seems to
be ill-considered and Inopportune and
will pw'hitoiy prolong and vex the ques
tion wh.ch now seams to toe draw.ug
rapl-lly ;n a settlement. A crisis has
been reoclatd and If there'hi no outside
Interference there w.ll be an end, pa

very short time.

longing to McRae end Eastman, some
people predicted a set-back for thesa

and ithe fact that iMcKao has doubled
In population and business since the

the competition of these new towns in
