A European dispatcti states on "high authority" that the Roths childs are furnishing Da Gama with funds to carry on his business at Rio We are not surprised at the Repub Iicans opposing the Wilson bill. The reduction ot tne lariti means a cor responding reduction in the cam paign funds contributed by the pro tected. The report comes from Berlin that Emperor William is again talking about visiting the United States. If he comes he should, now that they have kissed and made up, bring Herr Bismarck with him. This would in sure the young man a jolly good time although he would be somewhat over shadowed. It is said that President Dole ot the Hawaiian Provisional Govern ment is getting sick of his job, which requires a good deal of work with small pay, but Mrs. Dole who has lots of snap in her won't let him- let go. She wants him to stick till he becomes the first President of the new Republic. The Democratic members of the Mississippi Legislature have headed off a dead-lock on the election for a United States Senator to fill the va cancy caused by the resignation of Senator Walthall. They have passed a resolution in the caucus requiring the candidates to pay the per diem of members in case there should be a dead-lock. This looks like getting the dead wood on the candidates. Some ministers are meek and for bearing, but they will not always stand being called a liar, &c, while in the pulpit. A rough tried the ex periment on a preacher in an Ohio town last week, when the preacher suspended preaching, came down out of the pulpit, walked to the pew, yanked the rough out and polished him off so nicely that his next of kin couldn't recognize him. After fin ishing him he went back to the pul pit and finished his sermon. There is a sick man in one of the Methodist churches in Freeport, 111. He jokingly offered at a church meeting to furnish for the church all the wood two young ladies, whom he named, would saw. The young ladies took him up, saw him, as it were, and since then these young ladies haven't been doing much but playing mum and sawing wood. They are having lots of fun, the church is getting lots of wood, and the wood man is getting lots of fun poked at him. .-vnarcnist vauiants head was chopped off in Paris early Monday 4 I I' Ml m morning. He was much more com posed than Monsieur Diebler, the public executioner, who was quite nervous. Vaillant refused a drink of brandy which was offered him with the remark that he despised a man who had to take a stimulant to give him courage to face death. He had his head then but he lost it soon after. His remains were buried in that part of the cemetery known as the "Turnip Field," but he will not turn up any more. f E VOL. LIII.--NO. 118. The Salvation Army in Chicago has summoned Col. Bob Ingersoll to appear at one of the rinks in that city to "show cause why he is the "Prince of Paganism." Col. Bob pays no attention to any call of that kind when the tickets don t bring him from $1 to $1.50. Reserved seats higher. The Savannah JVews thinks that "if there are any cool, brainy leaders in South Carolina, now is the time for them to step forward." They may not be deficient in the brainy element, but while the dispensary brand of liquor is in vogue it would be too much to expect coolness. Senator Perkins, of California, who was a whaler in his younger days, is going to deliver a lecture in Wash ington on whale fishing. We don't know how the Senator is on fish sto ries, but as he is a Republican the audience should make due allowance. Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, serves notice to the aspirants to his shoes who took it for granted that he was out of the race that they were some what too previous. He expects to be in it, and as he is now running on wheels he expects to get there. Mrs. Annie S. Austin, the newly elected Mayor of Pleasanton, Kansas, parts her hair in the middle like ex Senator Ingalls, but she is more solid than he. She weighs 200 pounds. The case must be getting desperate with some ot the Northern protec tion organs. Having exhausted their stock of argument they are now hurling poetry at the Wilson bill. NEW ADVjtittTiaisiJSILBNTS.

OPINIONS DIFFER As to the Chances for Mr. Simmon Con firms tion, The Washington correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch says of Collector Simmons' case : Opinions differ as to the chances of the confirmation of Mr. Simmons as Collector of Internal Revenue for the Eastern District of North Carolina. The talk to-day is that the sub-committee would have reported his case favorably but for a request received from certain parties to postpone action until they could be heard. The opponents of Mr. Simmons insist that he will be beaten, while his friend? are positive that he will be confirmed. The best information is that the Finance Committee at present are quite evenly divided. BY RIVER AND RAIL. Receipt of Naval Btores and Cotton Yesterday. Wilmington, Columbia A Augusta R.

There was a real rush of orders for the Stoddard Photographs at the Star office yesterday. They were fifty per cent, larger than on any other day since the announcement of the scheme. At a meeting of the Democratic Executive Committee of Sampson county, held last Monday, Maj. W. A. Johnson, in consequence of his removal to Wilmington, resigned the. chairman ship, and Mr. W. E. Stevens was elected to succeed him. Editor Bethune, of the Democrat, was elected secretary. A Boon for Truck Farmers Near the City of Wilmington. Mr. C. H. Heide, one of the oldest and most experienced truck faimers in this section, informs the Star that the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad Com pany are now laying a side-track near the three-mile post, of sufficient length to accommodate the requirements of the truck farmers of that section. This will be of gteat benefit to the truckers, as it will enable them to have their fer tilizers delivered there, and they can, also, ship their truck from this section to the Northern markets without haul ing it to this city. The farmers have been anxious for this "side-track or station for several years, and largely through the influence of Mr. John D. Bellamy, Jr., have suc ceeded in getting it. Mr. Bellamy has made a fair start in making a model truck farm on his place, called "Fern dale" near this station and has se cured the services of Mr. W. Collins, Jr., a well known and prominent trucker. At the request of Mr. C. H. Heide, the railroad authorities have promised to name this new section in honor of Rep resentative Joe Kerr, who is also one of the leading truck-farmers of this sec tion. Storm Warning. The information signal a red pen nant was displayed at the Weather Bureau station yesterday at 3.00 p. m., for a storm then central in the lower Mississippi Valley, moving northeast. High southerly winds were indicated for the Middle and South Atlantic coasts. The signal was also ordered up at Jack sonville, Savannah, Charleston, More head, Washington, Norfolk, Fortress Monroe, West Point and Baltimore. RIVER AND MARINE. The steamer reported sunk on the Di amond Shoals, Hatteras, is supposed to be some old derelict that has drifted there from the southward. The weather forecast for February, issued by the U.S. Hydrographic office, calls for stormy weather north of the 40th parallel and along the American coast north of Hatteras. Strong west erly and northwestly gales along the transatlantic steamship routes, with oc casional periods of strong winds and lresh gales from the northeast. A dispatch from Southport last night from Mr. Bain. Weather Observer there, says: The American schooner Ettie H. Lister, which arrived here at 6 p. m., reports that on February 3rd she spoke schooner Lizzie Heyer, of Thomaston. who wished to be reported, her captain having died at 9.40 that morning.

He Declares The Neill Estimate Too Large He Places iha Figures at 6,800,000 Bales Tha Stock Held by Mills in this Country Probibly 300, 000 Bales Less Than a Year Ago. For the season of 1893-94, upon which we have now entered, it is certain that unless some unexpected strike or finan cial panic occurs the European spin ners will do a better business and re quire considerably more cotton than last season. The heavy stocks of British yarns and goods which so de pressed the market during the early part of last season, have long since eone into consumption, and the mar ket of manufactured products is in a healthy condition. My lriend, Mr, Thomas Ellison, of Liverpool, estimates the present weekly consumption of British mills at 80,000 bales (of 400 pounds net), this being their rate of consumption when the strike com menced last season. He estimates the present weekly consumption of conti nental mills at 89,000 bales (of 400 pounds net) against 88,000 bales last sea son, and calls the stock held by Euro pean mills on November 30th only 289,- 000 bales (of 400 pounds net), against 478,000 bales of equal weight at corres ponding date last season. The surplus stock of cotton at the mills on Novem ber 30tb, it will be seen, was 189,000 bales less than last year and really equal to ten days' consumption. Mr. Ellison takes a cheerful view of the situation and writes on December 30th that he expects the present rate ot European consumption to be maintained. The outlook for the American mills is not so clear. Owing to the hnancial troubles, and the long delay of Con gress in passing remedial legislation, the Fall business of the mills were very light, and there has been a considerable accumulation of goods. The recupera tion of general business from the effects of the panic has been slow. Everybody is inclined to be yery conservative. Thus it is that spinners are buying very sparingly of cotton, and merchants are taking goods only lor early require ments. It is thought that the stock of cotton goods in the hands of jobbers and retailers throughout the coun try must be very light, and, there fore, the Spring demand should be large and keep the mills busy. Just as the de lay of Congress last Summer in legisla ting in reeard to the silver question m- lured the rail trade there is the present fear that a similar cclay in dealing with the new tariff bill now before Congress may seriously miurethe Spring trade of the country. The uncertainty in regard to what kind of a tariff bill will eventu ally be enacted, will undoubtedly inter fere with some branches ot business and may cause a general dullness of trade which would affect injuriously the busi ness of the mills. The stock of cotton held by the Amer ican mills at present is probably 300,000 bales less than a year ago, and though there may be a poor Spring trade it is not probable that the business of the first six months of the season can be as bad as that of the last six months of the season of 1892-93. Should Con gress dispose of the tariff question promptly, a rapid revival of nearly every branch of trade would almost certainly ensue and the business of the mills would undoubtedly share in the general activity. It does not, therefore, seem at all likely that American spinners will buy less cotton than last season, and there seems to be a fair probability they may take 100,000 and possibly 200,000 bales more. Present prices of cotton are very low. Indeed, except in 1892, they have not ruled so low in January for over forty years, and but lor the uncertainty re specting tariff legislation it is probable that spinners would now be tree buyers There is still a wide divergence ot es timates of the size of the American cot ton crop of 1893-4, but the opinion of the trade of the country seems to be rapidly concentrating upon the idea that the crop will turn out to be a very mod erate one. Some people, however, here and in Eu rope, still pin their faith to Mr. Henry M Neill s estimate of 7,700,000 bales mini mum; but outside of a few speculative followers in New Orleans it is thought his present adherents are chiefly among European spinners. The New Orleans cotton factors promptly disavowed this large estimate, and, with but one exception, all the leading factors of the city united in publishing a statement, that, in their opinion, the crop could not exceed 7,250,000 bales, The general conditions affecting the crop of 1893-'94 have unquestionably been unfavorable. The Spring was gen erally late and cold, while protracted drought in Texas and Arkansas, excess of rain and severe storms in the Atlantic States, and serious damage by worms in the Gulf States were the unfavorable fea tures of the season. General .killing frosts occurred about October 15th, be ing earlier than usual, and would have done serious damage but for the fact that the crop had then generally matured. The remarkable deficiency in rainfull during the Fall prevented new growth and development, and hence there was practically no top crop of consequence in any State. For maturing the crop and enabling it to be picked rapidly and in good condition the weather could not have been more favorable. As the country roads every where have been in fine condition and the railroads have had all the cars needed, there has been every possible facility for moving the crop quickly. My correspondents all over the South report that the picking and marketing ot the crop have been rapid beyound prece dent. Based upon information from a large number of Southern correspondents upon whose ludgment I rely, because they are all gentlemen of intelligence, and generally the most prominent mer chants in their respective localities. I think the yield of the present crop will show the following gains oyer last sea son, viz: 240,000 bales in the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida; 360.000 bales in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana; 150,000 bales in Arkansas, making total gains of 750,000 bales. I place the Texas yield at 1:800.000 bales, being a loss of 350,000 bales. The net gains eovr last season's yield, which was about 6,400,000 bales, is thus indicated to be 400,000 bales, making a total yield of about 6,800,000 bales. As the season commenced with comparatively little old cotton in the interior, the commer cial crop should be more likely to be below than above the actual yield, considerable cotton may be carried over to the next season should low prices continue. These conclusions were pub lished by me December 6th. It is worthy of note that all who have made thorough investigations of the subject by inquiries upon an extended scale throughout the South have reached conclusions similar to my own. 'Brad- streets, on December 21st, from 1,922 reports, estimated the crop at 6,600,000 bales. Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co., of New York, on December 15, pub lished a summary of replies from 1,370 Southern correspondents, indicating a crop of 6,750,000 bales. Messrs. Atwood, Violett & Co., of New Orleans, on De cember 21st, published a summary of re ports from 818 Southern correspondents, which indicated a crop of not over 6,750. 000 bales, The percentage of the crop which had come into sight to December 31st in each of the oast ten vears is as follows: 1883, 76 per cent.; 1885, 73 per cent.; 1887, 77 per cent.; 1889. 76 per cent.; 1891, 71 per cent.; 1884, 79 per cent.; 1886, 74 per cent.; 1888, 71 per cent.; 1890, 68 per cent.; 1892, 71 per cent. Omitting the phenomenal seasons of 1890-91 and 1S91-92 the average per centage of these ten years is 75 per cent. Calling the amount in signt 5,400.000 bales, and assuming this to be 75 per cent, of the crop, would give us a total crop of just 7,200,000 bales. It is eyident, however, that the crop has been marketed more rapidly than the average of these years probably over a week quicker. Would it not be safe to assume that 5 per cent, more than the average proportion of the crop had come into sight by December 31st? This would make the 5,400,000 bales re present 80 per cent, of the crop, and would indicate a crop of 6,750,000 bales. The grade of the present crop will be above an average, but the staple is shorter than usual, and notably in Texas where the season was too dry. The average weight of bales will probably be at least six pounds less than last sea son, as the shortage is already about four pounds. The reduced weight from last season will be eqaal to about 87,000 bales. Mr. Ellison, of Liverpool, in view of the larger supply expected from India and the smaller supplies than last sea son from Egypt and other countries, esti mates that the consumption of European and American mills this season will re' quire an American crop of 8,177,000 bales. Mr. Ellison's estimates of consumption are reasonable and include about 100,000 bales increase for America. It would, therefore, seem that as the American crop falls short of 8,177.000 bales, just to that extent will the stock of cotton in European and American markets be reduced by the end of the sea son. In other words, it seems quite clear that European and American mills will spin 8,177,000 bales of American cotton this season, and if the crop should prove to be only 6,800,000 bales the dif ference will come out of the stocks of the various markets and thus leave very much reduced stocks at the close of the season. The present stocks of cotton at the mills of Europe and America are so low that it is not probable they will be further trenched upon. Alfred B. Shepperson. New York, January, 1894. Horticultural Fair Meeting. A meeting ot the Horticultural Fair Committee was held at The Orton last night. Chairman Kerchner called for reports from the subscription com mittees, which were given, making a good showing so far. A letter was read from the officers of the Fair Association, stating that they would like to hold the Fair in Wilmington, and the Executive Committee would meet on May 4th to decide. After much talk as to the benefits the city would derive from such a Fair, Mr. J. H. Barnard made the fol lowing motion, which was seconded by Mr. Chas. M. Whitlock: "That the committees soliciting subscriptions close their lists as soon as possi ble and turn them over to Secre tary Heinsbereer, and the chairman then call a meeting of the committee. The motion prevailhd. Col. Kerchner stated that when the subscription lists were completed he would call a meeting of all the sub scribers to effect an organization and elect the permanent officers. A Juvenile Letter. The annexed letter was received at the Star office last night . Magnolia, N. C, Feb, 8. Gentlemen: We are two small children, 6 and 10 years, but our Pa is a subscriber to your paoer and has been for vears. We have heard so much about Series 1, 2, 3 and 4, we can't help writing you. with 43 cents enclosed for them. Send as soon as possible to your little friends. Cleveland and Ninno Scott." News for the Naval Beserves. The old corvette Kearsarge which was at Southport last summer, as a school ship for the Naval Reserves, it will be seen from the Star's press dis patches this morning, was wrecked February 2d, on the Roncador reef on the coast of Nicaragua. The dispatch says the officers and crew were saved. TAR WHOLE NO. 8,358 THE MURDERER BROCK. Reported to Have Seen Seen Near Scott's Hill-Three of the Sheriffs Deputies on His Trail. Sheriff Stedman received a message yesterday from County Commissioner E. L. Pearce, stating that he had been informed by Noah Nixon, a colored man whom he considered reliable, that John Brock, the wife murderer, had called at Nixon's house the evening be fore and asked for something to eat. Commissioner Pearce and Noah Nixon both live very near Scott's Hill, a station on the Wilmington, Newbern and Norfolk Railroad, and to that point Sheriff Stedman sent three Deputies on the train whjch left at 2.30, p. m. yester day, with instructions to spare no effort to effect Brock's capture. If this does not prove to be a case of mistaken identity on the part ot Nixon, it is hoped the Sheriff's posse may strike a warm trail and tree their game, They had not returned at a late hour last night. FATAL ACCIDENT. A Colored Workman Killed at the Imce- rial Pine Products Co.'s Works. Joseph Smith, colored, a workman at the Imperial Pine Products Company's factory, on Smith's creek, just beyond the northern limits of the city, was in stantly killed yesterday aiternoon by the explosion of one of the retorts, which he had just finished charging. The un fortunate man's head was crushed and the right side of his body mutilated. Another colored workman, Little Moore, was slightly injured. Coroner Walton went to the scene of the accident at once and after viewing the corpse and ascertaining the facts, de clared that the killing was accidental. It is supposed that the deceased put in an overcharge by mistake. His body was sent to his family, who reside on Seventh between Taylor and Nixon streets. A Queer Find. Mr. Oscar Millis, son of Constable J W. Millis, while walking on the Federal Point road about two miles south of the city, yesterday aiternoon. came upon a lot oi plunder ly ing near the roadside, and which was evidently a sailor's outfit. There were a pair of pants, five woollen shirts a Dianket, a quilt, two pair socks, pair drawers, a knit jacket, overall jacket, piece of carpet, a small bag containing soap, an empty bag marked H. A. John son, and a Norwegian Testament. Mr Millis left the articles where he found them, and returning to town, told his father of the find. The latter went out to the place at once and made search in the neighborhood, but it W2sthen night fall and too dark to make much pro gress, so he returned to the city and will make further investigation to-day.
