Nevertheless there is some anxiety over an authentic version of later de velopments at Ladysmith. Little Manila News. By Cable to Thi Tklbgram Manila, Nov. 15 Heavy rains con tinue and there is little news. Owing to the telegraph extending only to San Jose it is not known whether troops have reached Boambang.

The Cotton Crop flay Fall Belov the Off tea I estimate. V ! Washington, Nov. 14 The statist! clan of the department of agriculture in a report sent to press today lays that the fact that the preliminary .of ficial estimate of the cotton orpi Jsev eral times has turned oat to be an on derestimate has been du In everyv in stance to a failure to keep pace with the rapid expansion of the productive area. When, therefore, the very large LeTop of last year made it manifest that the acreage had increased beyond both official , and almost all commercial es tlmates, it was determined to institute a special and very thorough invest! gation Into the entire crop situation this year. The productive area last year is found to have been 25,000,000 acres and that for the present year to be abont 2300,000 acres with a prob ability that the final returns will show the present acreage to have been be low rather than above the amount stated. The investigation disoloses one of the smallest average yields' per acre in many years and In estimating the total crop at a maximum 9,500,000 bales a substantial and most ample allowance has been made for any ten dency to take a too pessimistic view of the situation, the actual indications at the present moment pointing to a crop of less than 9,000,000 bales. The re port further says: 'In his capacity as cotton expert to the United States commission, the sta tistician has had the preparation of the United States cotton eihlbit for the Paris exposition and his duties in that connection have afforded him aV ditlonal facilities for ascertaining the actual condition of the crop in every part of the oonn'ry. The unimpeach able evidence that has come to him in that capacity is in every way confirm atory of the most unfavorable official reports." Home Ooes to Mrs. Dtwey. Washington, Nov. 14 Preliminary steps have ben taken, it is said, to transfer to Mrs. Dewey the title to the Dewey home, 1,747 Rhode Island ave nue, wnicn the American people pre sented to the admiral In recognition of bis brilliant naval victory, at Manila. The matter is in the hands of the Dis trict Title Company, and the papers, it is understood, have been drawn to await the necessary signatures. The conveyance will be through a third party, presumably one of the ad miral's secretaries.. The matter was placed in the hands of the title com pany some days ago, with a view to such conveyance, and it has been the understanding that the transfer would be completed upon the return of Ad miral and Mrs Dewey. Unless pres ent plans are changed, the deeds wl 1 be put on record shortly. Thanksgiving Service. The churches in South Greensboro are arranging for a union service at the Friends' church on Thanksgiving day. Centenary, Grace, Westminster and the Friends will all unite in the service. The choirs of the different churches are requested to meet tonight after prayer meeting at Centenary church to select some muslo for the occasion. Additional Trains. The first of next month the Southern Railway will put on their fast trains, Nos. 31 and 32, between Washington and Jacksonville. They have ordered five more of those large compound type passenger engines to handle these trains, similar to those they have on their other fast trains. The addition of these two trains rives Greensboro a total of thirty-one passenger trains per day. For Housebreaking, Mack Paschall, Prltohett Dailey, Billy Deaver and James McCauley, young white boys, each about 15 years of age, were arrested this morning, changed with breaking into A. B. Voltz's grocery store on October 18tb. The cae will be tried next Monday morning before 'Squire Prltchett. All the boys, except Mack Paschall, fur- nishrd bail for their appearance. Night Force Enlatged. Heretofore there have been only three policemen on night duty, but ac cording to an arrangement of the po lice committee the night force will be enlarged in the future to four men. Sanitary Officer Alexander will go on n'ght duty tonight. The day force will look after the sanitary work. Stealing the Charge. Cabot Vlckers, a young white man Ifrom Winston, was arrested this after noon on the charge of stealing a gold watch and 12 in money from Mamie Smith last night. He was given a hearing before 'Squire Pritehett at 2:30 o'clock and bound over to court in a bond of $100, in default of which he was committed to jail. W C T. U. Meeting.

THE BEST INVESTMENT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR US THE UTAH CONGRESSMAN Tbe Case of the Mormon Which Has Been Much Ohcussed. A MOST INTERESTING CONTEST. Other Cases Which Attract Attention Are Tolbert, of South Carolina, and Wise, of Virginia. Special to the Telegram. At the beginning of the coming ses sion of congress, it is expected that the case Congressman-elect Roberts, 01 utan, will be referred to in the house of representatives. Of course no definite action will be taken on the case at once, but the matter will in all probability be referred to the commit tee on elections. On the first day of the session, as the oath is being ad ministered to members, is the belief that some member of the house will objictto tbe oath being administered to Mr. Roberts, and that gentlemen will be requested to step aside, and the oath will not be taken by him un til after It is administered to all of tbe other members. He will not have long to wait, however, before, becoming a full-fledged member of the national body, as the oath Is always adminis tered to members from the states In alphabetical order. Utah Is among the last states to be called. After the calling oi the roll U finally completed, and the oath is administered to the 'delegates from the different territories, then the speaker will swear in Mr. Roberts. It is likely then that a reso- ution will be offered which will be a privileged one, declaring the seat va cant, and this resolution will bo re ferred to toe committee on elections without debate. The committee will not thin be formed, and will not be probably for some weeks after con gress meets. Until the case is acted Ufon by the committee, and the house itself, Mr Roberts wi l be entitled to all th privileges of a me ber, being privileged both to speak and vote in the house as other members. The case of the Utah congressman, which has attracted sQch wide discus sion will be among the most Interest ing contests b fore the house since the days of former Delegate George Q. Cannon, of the then territory of Utih, who was at lea&t once unseated by a former house. It Is generally felt by the members of the house who are now here that Roberts will retain the seat to which he holds a certificate which is said to be legal in every particular, and that the house will not undertake to go into an examination of the pri vate affairs of a member. The south ern members of congress cominer to Washington, so far as known, are to a man adverse to the house taking any'action looking to the unseating of Roberta. Another election case which has given rise to much discuss on is that of Tolbert, of South Carolina, who figured prominently in the recent Greenwood election troubles. Noth ing Is apparently known here as to the mentions of Mr. Tolbert, but if he in tends pushing his contest he is keep ing quiet about it. The belief is that he will not attempt to unseat the sit ting member, but will let tbe case go by default, a the saying is. Tolbert has not been in Washington for some time. A few months ago he was a fre quent visitor at the St. James Hotel, but several months, he has not been at all. Nothing Is known at the hotel about his intentions. The contested election case of Dr. Richard A. Wise, .a member of the last house of representatives, against Young, who will represent the Nor folk, Virginia, district, is also an in teresting case. Dr. Wise was defeat ed on the face of the returns by a la ge majority, and at least one of the mem bers of the Virginia, state republican committee, Bowden, himself an ex- member ofhe house, has expressed the opinion, it is said, that Dr. Wise was not elected. Mr. Young is also a former member of the lower house. Dr. Wise bases his claims upon al leged frauds, and he insists that the house will seat him. The statements made in certain quar ters to the effect that at a coming con ference of democratic leaders, to be held in Chicago, that the question of tbe minority leadership of the house will be determined upon is causing no little indignation amoog democratic members of tbe house of representa tives. The members of the house say that the question of the leadership of the minority in that bod v can be safe ly entrusted to, the mcinb :-s of the democratic caucus, and that the ques tion cannot be settled iu any other manner. Representative De Aimo.id is devel oping quite a little strength aj a pros pective democratic leader of the house. He will have the solid Missouri dele gation behind him, and also tbe dele gations from other states near by to Missouri. Representatives Burkhead and Rich ardson, of Tennessee, will also be can didates for the leadership. Repre sentative Bailey will not be a candi date. Mr. Bryan off on a Hunt. Springfield, Mo., Nov. 13 William Jennings Bryan and son joined Colo- ne' M. C. Wetmore's hunting party here today and left for the latter' s game reserves in the Ozark Moun tains.

St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 14 Four zinc- lined trunks, such' as are used by trav eling men to carry samples, each con taining a corpse, were take from the baggage mom at union station today, and K,. D. Thompson, a brother of Frank Thompson, who says he is city undertaker of Memphis, Tenn , Is under arrest. Charges against Thomp son are being formulated. For some time the police have been aware that a traffic In human bodies has been going on through this city, and have been on the watch for evi dence. Recently a shipment of fom bodies in trunks was made, addressed to W. H. Hamsen at Keokuk, Iowa, to whom those captured today were con signed . When taken to police headquarters Thompson made a clean breast of the whole affair. He said he had the con tract for buryiner the citv dead of Memphis For some time he had been selling the bodies to medical colleges throughout this part of the countrt. His method was to pack them with ex celsior In drummers' zinc lined trunkb and take them with him as baggage as far as St. Louis. From here he ship ped the trunks to their destination b express. Thompson said he had been oiu an tue way irom 6CHJ lo tZUU ptr body. He said the name W. B. Ham- sen, to which the trunks were addressed in iveoKutc, is a hctitious one, but re fused to 6tjte who his consignee is. In the trunks are the bodies of three ucgn.eo, two men ana a boy, nd a white woman. From appearance they all died of consumption or some other wasting dise se. The white wnmn'- eatures are resular and hsr hii blaok. Her front teeth are gold filled. All tt.e bodies are well preserved. Worth-y Compl.ment The decision of the supreme court f N rth Carolina to tbe effect that Stat Treasurer W. H. Worth was right ii. refusing to pay out of th.- Sllo.oOo realized by a bond is-.ue, the peniten tiary debts, justifies the stand taken by that offigial wbioh was at, the time declared by New York lawyers to be based on solid legal ground. Treas urer Worth contended that these debt should be paid irom the annual appro pr-iation and not from the bond issue. This is not the only -case where his firmness has proven to be dictated by good sensp, In many of his official acts he has evinced a clear under standing of .his, rights and duties, and nas been ujrtJeld by public opinion and by the bench He is among the most efficient and Dainrtakiner ouhiic ser vants of the state, and he has during his incumbency made a record of which he may properly feel proud.--Financia' Review Mr. Bryan's Response. Baltimore, Nov. 14. The executive committee of the Maryland democratic (silver) association made public today the following reply to their congratu latory telegram to W. J. Bryan to the members of the association : "I am greatly obliged to you for the congratulations sent through your executive committee. The fight in Ne braska was u.atfe on national issues and the result is gratifying. The re turns from other states indicate a growing opposition to republican poli cies. We are much pleased to see thit Maryland is again in the democratic column and ready for the contest of 1900. "Very truly yours, ' W. J. Bryan." Sanford's Water Works. Sanford, Nov. 14 Two artesian wells, bored many hundred feet in the ground, furnishing an unlimited sup ply of water, a large reservoir hold ing many hundred gallons of water, a standpipe 110 feet high, full of water and a line of piping penetrating to all parts of the town were practically completed here today and the first test of tbe water works was made, prov ing satisfactory in every detail. This is truely a wonderful achieve ment for a town as small as San'ord was six months ago, when the water works were begun, but the town has more than doubled itself during the past six months and will more than double itself again in the next six months.
