THE COTTON CROP Will Be Late, Jut There's an Increase in'Acreage New York. May 28. Branch offices of R. G. Dun & Co. throughout the cot ton belt report the cotton crop situa tion up to date as somewhat backward, owing to low temperatures. Although planting began much earlier than last season It Is now less probable that the new crop will be marketed veryj promptly, for germination has been re tarded and much replanting necessi tated. In some cases damaged wheat has been ploughed up and cotton sown. while on the other hand more or less ly eBtlmated at between 11,500,000 and year already. The case was given to the juty at 2:30 this afternoon. They were out six hours before a verdict was reached. Sheriff Royes will take Mrs. Taylor to Auburn prison on Tuesday or Wednes day of next week. . MARTIAL LAW Follows the Great Conflagra tion at Yazoo City Yazoo City, Miss., May 26. Yazoo City is under martial law as a result of yesterday's conflagration. Several negroes, who were caught in an at tempt to steal salvage, have, been ar rested. Two military companies patrol the burned dlstrlot. The loss is various- a track lighting fast. The Picket won the American Derby last year and his success was, a signal triumph for the west. He was heavily played In the fu ture books and at the track today he was backed all over the ring by those who never lost confledenoe In him and had secured a true line on his fast work more than ten days ago. The defeat of Irish Lad was generally attributed to the perform ajoce of Her mis, who went out in front with the Candlemas colt for a heartbreaking neck and neck race which lasted until they were well Into the stretch. Then Hermls was the first to crack, and as Irish Lad began to hang In his stride a furlong from home, the Picket, who had been beautifully raced all the way, stole up on the rail and nailed the fa vorite fifty yards from the wire. Jockey Shaw, who rode Irish Lad, came in for considerable criticism, par tially because he did not hug the rati coming into the stretch, thereby pre venting the Picket from coming up so easily and partially because In the last dozen strides he failed to draw his whip. There were' hundreds on the grounds who insisted that if Shaw had landed a couple of sharp blows on Ir ish Lad's flank he would have respond ed sufficiently to stall off the Picket at the end. But the race under all cir cumstances was fairly .won. Joe Yeager, the "boy plunger," who wagered $3,200 straight, won about $35, 000 on the race, having got as good as 12 to 1 on some of his bets. His day's operations are said to have netted him something like $60,000. ABED CRUISER TO BE WED NORTH CAROLINA " . .

Directed Work of Maryland Convention Yesterday Baltimore, May 26. The Democratic State convention which met here today was controlled In its entirety by Sen ator Gorman. He named the delegates and outlined the platform. The follow ing are the delegates and electors chosen: Delegates at large: Arthur Pue Gorman, Ex-Governor John Walter Smith, State Chairman Murray Van diver and Congressman J. F. C. Tal bot. District delegates: First district, Joshua W. Miles and Richard B. Hln; son second district, ThoS. H. Robinson and Fred Von Kapf; third district, John Hannibal and Frank A. Furst; fourth district John J. Mahon. and Francis E. Ye well; .fifth district. Dr. Geo. Wells and J. Frank Smith; sixth district, Col. Buchanan Schley and Ar- thur Peter. Electors at large: Former Governor E. E. Jackson and former Governor Frank Brown. District elec ttors : John E. George, J. Herbert Shri ver, Jas. King, Chas. H. Knapp, Dr. Samuel A Wade and FerdinandWill iams. The platform adopted Is considered highly important as it embodies "Mr. Gorman's opinions of what the national Democratlo platform should be and what he will fight to have adopted at St. Louis. It is devoted to national issues especially details the line of ac tion and principles adopted and fol lowed by the Democratlo Senate steer ing committee last winter. It calls for moderate tariff revision, independence for the Filipinos economy In expendi tures and fully investigation of all al leged crookedness in the post office and other departments. The course of Sen ator Gorman in congress was en dorsed in the following separate res olutions: "We warwlT1 commend the boldness and vigor with which our senator Hon. Arthur Pue Gorman has signal ized his return to the former field of his acknowledged leadership and dis tinguished public services and the firm ness with which he has endeavored to maintain the independece'of the Senate from unwarranted executive dictation.' Not until noon today was the slate complete. General Baughman then in slsted that Senator Gorman, who was to have been elected a district delegate, must go as a delegate at large. He withdrew his name and had that of Mr, Gorman substituted, but not until he consented to become the national com mltteeman. Under these conditions Senator Gorman accepted. Senator elect Rayner was side tracked and Governor. Warfleld given no considera tion. The feature of the day was the speech of Senator Gorman when the convention was about to adjourn. He then touched upon the national admin istration but paid the president the left handed compliment of having developed into a partisan, who had learned to value party organization. He whack ed Governor Warfleld, when he followed. this up by saying that the man who recognized his party becomes strong. while he who disregards it becomes weak. At this the convention went wild. , JWhen the senator, concluded . he received an ovation. Negotiations Are Slow Tangier, May 26. There are many rumors of the terms demanded by the bandit Raisull for the release of Per dlcaris and Varley, who were lately kidnapped, but none of them can be confirmed. It is stated that among other things he demands that the sul tan pardon his offenses and pardon be guaranteed by the United States and England. It takes a whole day for couriers to reach RalsulL hence the negotiations are slow.

On - the calling of the roll it was found that fourteen circles were repre sented. The annual reports of the of- cers were read. At the afternoon ses sion reports of various committees were road and discussed. Mrs. Hollowell of Goldsboro stated that the federation of woman's clubs In NorthV.

Mrs. Overman of - Salisbury, Mrs. Brown of Wilmington, Mrs. Hollowell of Goldsboro, Mrs. Olds of Raleigh, Mr. Streeter of Greensboro and Mr. W. N. Everett of Rockingham all spoke on" this subject. ' t . At' the evening session Mrs. Bottome of New York, the founder of the order of the King's Daughters, addressed the convention. She took as her text "Ana there we saw the giants," from the last verse of the thirteenth chapter of Num bers. Her address was an exhortation to overcome the giants in the way of difficulties that stand in the way of all noble living and charitable endeavor. and bore especially on the movement held most at heart by the order, name ly: the establishment of a reformatory for youthful criminals. - The feature of this morning's session was an address by Mrs. Hollowell. She proved to be a most charming speaker and held the attention of the conven tion for an hour on the subject o fthe reformatory. Mrs. Hollowell will can vass the state ln the interest of the proposed institution. . Mrs. Bottome spoke again today, Aa is time on "The Three Musts of Our Sa vior I must know my Fatner I must be amout my Father's business I must sufler." At the afternoon session the charter of the proposed reformatory was dis cussed section by section. It was de cided to ask the next Legislature to grant a charter to the institution to be known as "The North Carolina Train ing School." The order already owns a site for the institution. This evening there was a reception at the Manufacturers' Hall. By THOMAS J. PENCE Washington, May 2t fbrth Carolina was today added to tha nomenclature of the navy. Th vessel selected to bear the proud name of the Old North State Is one of the armored cruisers authorized by the recent Congress. The North Carolina and her sister ship, the Montana, which are to cost approximately four and a half mil lions each, will be the finest fighting ships ln the world, when completed three years henoe. Congress at Its raoent session au thorized the construction of one bat tleship and two armored cruisers to be the very best ailoaL The battle ship was given the name New Ilamp.' shire and the cruisers North Carolina and Montana. There was a strong rivalry on the part of a number of states for the coveted honor. North Carolina's closest competitor was her hister state. South Carolina, and it was not until today that Secretary Moody gave his preference to the Old North State ln the selection of names. Naturally Tar Heels will ask at once ln what xespect the North Carolina wl4 differ from a battleship. 'There li praotlcally none. The two armored cruisers named today will . cost ' morr than the battleship. With the high protection and battery of armored, cruisers of this type, it may be stated that they bear the same relation to the battleship as the cavalry does to the infantry in the army. ,Wlth four knots greater speed than the finest of our battleships, like the Connecticut, they are able to move more quickly from point to point, and with their excess of speed over the battleship, they are able to give battle or. run awayfrom.. the enemy's battleship as they please. and with their powerful offensive and defensive .qualities they are able, in case of necessity, to put up a stiff fight with the finest battleship afloat, with good chance of winning out. . The general design of the North Carolina will b that of: the armored cruisers Tennessee and Washington,, now building, which are conceded to be the superior of any similar class -of . ships in the world. In a number of respects the North ''Carolina will have mprovements over the Tennessee and Washington. The new cruiser will have a speed capacity of 22 knots and will carry 850 men. Her displacement will be approximately 14,500 tons. Her length will be over 500 feet, -nd she will have a steamlnc radius at ten knots per hour of .600 knots. The North Carolina cannot be completed n less than three years. It is to be hoped that the Newport News Ship building concern will get the contract for her construction, so mac me aunching will be within easy reach of the people of the state. E. J. Best Judge Pritchard't Secretary Judge Prltehard announced today the appointment of B J. Best of Ra leigh as his stenographer and eecre tary.
