A dispatch to the London Daily

A dispatch from Fall River says:
The indications are becoming strong

The break in the ranks of tho mill
owners at New Bedford, Mass., is wid
ening. A number of them favor a
compromise with the strikers, and
steps to this end have been taken.
The manufacturers want to start up at
a reduction. This proposition the op
erators have rejected, claiming that
when the market reaches 3 cents the
time will come for an increase in
wages rather than the restoration of a
reduction.
A Pittsburg, Pa., special says: The
delegates to the national encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic

A special of Friday from Lexington,
Ky., says: The Breckiu ridge campaign
is over. Tomorrow the primaries will
decide the honor or the dishonor of
representing the old Ashland district.
Tlie polls will open at 8 o'clock in the
morning ami closo at 4 o'clock in the

There havo been eight months of the
bitterest contention in Kentucky poli
tics, but they will be forgotten in the
eight hours of excitement tomorrow.
Tonight all sides claim a victory.
At the opera house, Owens and his
friends are speaking to a tremendous
audience. Colonel Breckinridge is ad
dressing thousands of enthusiastic fol
lowers from thecourt house steps, while
Evan A. Settle is making his last ap
peal to his home people at Owenton.
The Result.
At midnight Saturday night all the
precincts in the district had been heard
from and the indications were that the
Hon. W. C. Owens has been nomina

3G0 votes. The counties went as fol

The fight all through was the
notable combat ever waged in
tucky. All sorts of personalities havo
been indulged in. Disruptions have
occurred in households and members
of the family have not spoken for
weeks. ;
There were any number of personal
encounters in the district during the
day, and fifty excursions were run and
hundreds of people went to the vari
ous towns and worked for the candi
dates of their choice. In every town
of any size in the eight counties the
women held prayer meetings and pray
ed for the defeat of Colonel Breckin
ridge. A party of 200 turfmen went
to Lexington from the Latonia race
course and worked for Mr. Owenp. It
is estimated that more than $100,000
changed hands on the result of the
.contest.
The feeling worked up over the race
was 60 bitter that several prominent
gentlemen took out additional life in
surance. To show the interest mani
fested in the result of the race outside
of the district, it is only necessary to
mention that there were 100 newspaper
correspondents in Lexington. One
New York paper ordered 24,000 words.
Later News.
Further dispatches from Frankfort
state that Owen's majority is 555.
During Saturday night and far into
the early hours of Sunday the friends
of W. C. Owens fit Frankfort exhib
ited their enthusiasm, shooting off
fireworks and parading. Main street
was lined with old and young, cele
brating the victory. Everywhere
there was anxiety to know the
exact result.
Breckinridge men, in some instances,
still hold out that their man is a win
ner and the official count will, in their
opinion, so declare. Noel Gaines, a
prominent Breckinridge lieutenant, was
asked regarding the threats of contest,
and said:
"What is the use of a contest when
we have the race won ? I honestly be
lieve Breckinridge has secured the
nomination by a safe, but small ma
jority." An Owens man said that ho thought
such talk was a "bluff" and showed
clearly that
Breckinridge
was aying
hard. "But." he added, "if they at
tempt to defraud our man out of tho
result there will be blood spilled. Tho
election was too hard fought and won
to be stolen. The first sign of chi
canery means blood."
The people generally regard Owens
as tho rightful nominee and should the
district committee, which has a major
ity for Breckinridge, declare their fa
vorite the nominee, a split is certain.
BKECK1NRIDGE WILL CONTEST.
A Lexington special says: Breckin
ridge's managers claim Owen's plural
ity on the face of the returns is only
165 and say they will contest and have
the election declared for Breckinridge.
Owens's managers deny there is ground
for a contest and still claim 555 as his
majority.

GEORGIA'S JUDGES.
More Supreme Court Judges Needed
in Georgia.
A COMMUNICATION FBOM THE PRESENT
JUDGES ON THE SUBJECT.
In reply to inquiries as to the ne
cessity for adding two more justices to
the supreme bench in Georgia, we
ctato withont reserve that the necessity
is overwhelming. Our experience en
ables us to speak advisedly on this
subject, and we say to all voters that
tho constitution amendment ought to
bo adopted. It is a matter of vital
importance to all the people of this
state that it should be done. We
know that two more justices will
greatly and materially aid the court in
disposing of its business. They can
do this in many ways, and their help
will make the work better in every
respect. The number, five, is not too
great. Other supreme courts have
five, some seven, and some even nine
judges. They work harmoniously,
and their work is done more thor
oughly than three could possibly do it.
If we had two more, the present mem
bers of the bench would work, per
haps, as long as they do now, but un
der less strain, and hence they would
do the work better. Intellectual labor
done by mind fagged and worn out
cannot be of the best quality. If the
people understood the situation as we
do, the amendment would beyond all
doubt be adopted by a very large ma
jority. We hope other papers will
copy this. Respectfully,
L. E. Bleckley,
J. T. Simmons,
Sam'l. Lumpkin.
THE FLEECY STAPLE.
The Agricultural- Department's
Cot-
ton Report.
The September report of the statis
tician of the department of agricul
ture at Washington makes cotton show
a decline of 5.9 points from the Au
gust condition, which" was 91.8, against
85.9 for this month. The condition
of the plant in the month of June
was 88.3, rising to 89. G in July and
to 91.8 last month, as stated. The
August condition for the year 1893
was 80.4, and the September condi
tion for the same year was 73.4, a fall
ing off of seven points. The Septem
ber condition for this year is 12.5
points higher than that of 1893.
The state averages are: Virginia,
100; North Carolina, 88; South Caro
lina, 86; Georgia, 84; Florida, 82 ;
Alabama, 86; Mississippi, 85; Louisi
ana, 91; Texas, 84; Arkansas, 89;
Tennessee, 84 ; Missouri, 93.
The principal cause of the decided
decline in the condition since the last
report was the excessive rainfall
throughout the larger part of the cot
ton belt, producing a too great growth
of the weed and checking the develop
ment of the fruit, also causing shed
ding, rotting and rust. The general
tenor of the reports is "too much rain
and heat, causing too great growth of
the weed and too little of the fruit."
3IAIN'E'S STATE ELECTION.
Republicans Estimate That Cleaves's
Vote Will Be Nearly 70,000.
A dispatch from Augusta, Maine,
says: The republicans regard the re
sult of the state election as the biggest
victory they have achieved since the
birth of the republican party. The
tntftl vnte for governor, which two
years aero was 130,000, was reduced
from 15,000 to 20,000. The republi
cans claim that Cleaves's vote will
reach nearly 70,000. In every one of
the sixteen counties of the state the
democracy ia defeated. Waldo county
elected their whole county ticket for
the first time in many years. Every
city in the state has probably gone re

man from whom Toker purchased his
little farm. The woman is badly shot

republicans are now contesting the le
gality of the eight box and registra
tion laws of the state," and if these
laws are declared constitutional, might
not the legislature elected under them,
and which, in turn, elects a United
Stages senator, also be unconstitutional.
A Jackson, Miss., special says:
Public interest in what is termed "the
unwarrantable arrest" of Governor
Stone, Auditor Stone and Treasurer
Evans, is at white heat throughout the
state and if curses were coals the se
cret service bureau of the treasury de
partment would be in a sad plight.
Governor Stone and Treasurer Evans
were carried before ' Commissioner
Moseley, who released them on their
own recognizance after fixing bail at
$1,000.
A portion of n6rth Memphis, Tenn.,
was swept by a tornado Wednesday,
destroying and damaging property to
the extent of 3,500, killing one negro
and injuring two other persons slight
ly. The portion of the city visited is
the seat of the lumber mills, and the
damage falls upon three of them.
Conan's cotton gin and. mill, north of
Memphis, were partly unroofed and
trees were twisted and uprooted as if
mere pipe-stems. Corn and cotton in
the path of the tornado were destroyed.
DR. CAVE SPEAKS AGAIN.
He Says the Confederates Did Not
Fight Only to Maintain Slavery.
At a meeting of the ex-Confederate
Historical and Benevolent Association
at St. Louis, Mo., Rev. Dr. K. C. Cave
was invited to speak. He made an
address on the southern question, of
which the following is a part:
"We have held our peace for thirty
years, while the northern people have
represented us as an ignorant horde of
rebels and traitors, battling only to
hold human beings in the bonds of
slavery. If it is true that the con
federates were traitors and fought only
for slavery, the best thing that we can
do is not to build monuments, but to tear
these down that now stand, neglect the
graves of the southern dead until the
beating rain smooths the little monnds to
the level of the plain and nature covers
the place with its broad mantle of
green, and with it the shame of the
southland. But if the men who fol
lowed Lee, Jackson and Missouri's
Price were not rebels and traitors, but
true-hearted patriots, battling for their
homes and native laud, we owe it to
them and to ourselves to boldly affirm
and to fearlessly assert the fact.

! tho application made by certain pro
J ducers of sugar in the states of Nebras
ka and California for the payment of

Acting Secretary Uhl, of tho de
partment of state, has designated
Lieutenant Michael A. O'Brien, of tho
Fifth infantry, U. S. A., as military
attache of our legation at Tokio, Ja
pan. This action is taken at the re
quest of General Schofield, acting

vitation of the Japanese government to
send a military representative to that
country to witness the war with China.
He will lrsve for his new post in a few
days. It 18 said that the navy will also
ask for similar' representation at the'.
legation in Tokio, and several applica
tions for the duty have already been
made by naval officers.
Secretary Carlisle is preparing regu
lations to carry into effect section 9 of
the new tariff law for tho manufacture
in bonded warehouses of materials im
ported and manufactured for export.
The new law enlarges the class of goods
that can be so manufactured in bonded
warehouses. Among the more impor
tant articles is tobacco. A great im
petus has been given, it is said, to tho
cigar trade by this new provision of
the tariff law, and a new field has been
opened in Europe for the sale of Amer
ican cigars from imported tobacco, lt
also opens a field for ""labor, and it is
estimated that 10,000 people will bo
given employment in different lnrgo
American cities.
Dr. John Guiteras, the yellow fever
expert, who was sent by Surgeon Gen
eral Wyman of the marine hospital ser
vice, to investigate the alleged cases of
yellow fever on the British 6teamerTy
zack, from Havana, now at quarantine
station off Cape Charles, reports as
follows: "One of the cases at quar
antine is yellow fever, the other two
arejiot. Every facility was given me
for the examination of tho patients.
Wilson is slowly recovering from a se
vere attack of yellow fever. The chief
engineer, Mr. Pool, has a very severe
bronchitis attack and possibly typhoid
fever. The steward of the ship has a
slight attack of ephemeral fever."
Secretary Carlisle and Commissioner
Miller gave a further hearing to whole
sale druggists and manufacturers of
medicinal preparations, retail drug
gists and others, Thursday, rh to tho
nature of the regulations to be issued
by the treasury department in case
the department decides that it can is
sue any regulations at all to carry into
effec the provisions of section 61 of
the new tariff law, pertaining to
the free importation of alcohol
for use in the arts and in med
icinal preparations. Some twenty
gentlemen were present and the most
divergent views were advanced. Somo
of the wholesale manufacturers desired
that they be permitted to manufacture
their goods from pure alcohol in bon-
led warehouses. This was opposed by
the smaller druggists as too expensive
for them. The statement was mado
during tho general discussion that as
high as 94 per cent of alcohol was
used in some medicinal preparations.
Secretary Carlisle announced that ho
would take into consideration all tho
views and papers filed and announce
his decision in the matter at the earli
est possible time.
