The Bouse has passed the pension ap propriation bill as reported from com mittee, carryiDg 141,268,680,a redac tion of 963,180 from the estimate 'sub mitted, which was the same as the pres ent appropriation; also the bill directing postmasters at places where there is no (tee. mail delivery, upon petition of twenty persons receiving mail at one office, to appoint carriers, who shall be paid for their services by those whom they serve. :r Mr. Sperry made a speech in favor of the change. He said he remembered when the first letter boxwas put up at the lamppost in bis town in 1860. It was said the expense was too great. It was predicted that the plan could not work. Six mouths had not passed be fore it was found that the revenues were so increased by the use of the boxes that they more than paid for themselves. A similar result would be reached in this case. ' There was certainly no good ground for refusing to permit the, rural population to have free delivery if they were willing to pay for it as propped by this measure. 8peeches in favor of the measure were made by Mr. Pickler and others. - Mr. Loud, chairman of the Postoince Committee, opposed the bill. He said it would do nothing or it would create a RiMt dancwrniia nroepitpnl Ra nrtu1i.nl it were possible to approach this and similar questions without demagogy, but the speech of the South Dakota member made him despair. As a matter of fact everything that was given by the law in terms was already free to the people. - The thing to bCTeared was that the carriers whO"might be employed under it would not be paid, and they would come to Congress asking an appropria tion for their relief. The great majority of men would not pay a debt of one to three cents. It could not be collected. Say twenty persons agreed to pay a car rier. The probability was that he would . aot get his pay. Soon there would be such an amount of these arrears that the matter could be broughtto Congress . and a bill forced through. The letter carriers bad at one time forced Congress to pay them $1,030,000 ." for extra services. - Upon a standing vote the bill was pas sed by 101 to 15. , Mr. Stone cat lud up the pension ap- propriations bill and explained the re duction in ., administrative expenses. This was due largely to the change to tlie method of puying pensioners at huge offices by means of checks sent to their homes. , Mr, Grow, in speaking upon the hill answered the the assertion i n the Presi dent's message that the Wilson tariff ': produced more revenue this year than Inst and will eventually supply all ihu is needed. ' Mr. Blue .thought there ought to be a reduction in rent us a re sult of tlw olisnire of method of pay ment.

C, December' 9 The State crop report for December was issued today. Inquiries were made as to what crops J actually were. The anawere, taking all crops together, show a high average. The report which will cause the mo9t surprise Is that on cotton. The September and October reports on its condition indicated, respectively, 68 and 65 per cent, of an average, while the yield is now shown to have been 76 per cent. The exceptionally long warm season and dryness caused, phenomenal rnatur- 8- Corn was 80 per cent.; peanuts 78jsweet potatoes 92. The amount of wheat sowed is 98 per cent, and its condition over 100, of rye 86 per cent, is sowed and its condition is 96. Of fattening hogs the percentage is 99, and of cuttle 95. Dlnpute Over (. Pittsbubo, Pa. The coal operators and miners of the Pittsburg district met in joint convention here for the purpose of arranging a wage scale to go into effect January 1. The operators demanded the abolilion of the Ohio differential on thinvein coal. A committee of three operators and three miners was appointed to submit a report providing for the settlement of the matter, and calling adjoint interstate convention. The sentiment of the miners is that they should lmvc 80 cents a ton for pick min ing. It is the common opinion that no agreement will be arrived at by the- con vention. Mormon Elders Ejected. LlVg Oak, Fla. A mob of 200 men seized four Mormon elders, and, bring ing thorn to this plane, foreed them' to take the train for the West. The eldjrs were rather roughly handled by the mob. The names of the Mormons are T. G. Fisher, J. A. West, J. W. Musser and T. F. Warsden. These men ha v been preaching their doctrines in Buwanee comity tor two months. They have been very huuci-h ful anions the women and have broken up several families. Finally indignation became so intense that a mob was formed and the steps noted above taken. The action of the mob is generally indorsed.. Considering the circumstances, everything was done very quietly. Will Hull Under Witter. BAl.TIU.iItB. Md. A most remarkable vessel will be launched at the Columbi an Iron Works in the near future. It is the Holland Hllmiai'ine torpedo boat which has been under consl i net mil fi a-vvral uioiithH Inr the United State Krivernineul. It was current in marine circles that the vessel would be lauuehed some day this week, but the Columbian iron Works officials said that the event would nut Hike place for at least ten duvs. The lUihJuiCe iiLiiuie wariiuv. the national government appropria ted (150,000 for the construction of the boat, which is the life time work in plans of John G. Holland, the inventor. She is Intended to dive under water and fire a torpedo into a ship's hull. .. She will be propelled by electricity and lighted by the same medium.- In fact, the torpedo guns will be exploded by the same agency . By the use of air she can be raised- and lowered at will, and through a unique device ber crew can release themselves, providing the vessel becomes unmanageable. - The boat is built of steel, is of cigar shape, similiar to the Winan's model first laid down in this port, which by a coincidence, first saw the construction of a submarine vessel. ' She has been built under the supervision of govern, ment constructors and engineers. . :. Kscnpluf Prisoners Bhot.

THE COTTON MARKETS. December 9. Cotton today was 3-61 lower fur futures and 1-32 for spots in Liverpool. This did not fully meet the slump of yester day in New York. As a result the New York market opened at an advance of 7-100 and the market there 1ms been steady all diiy, Anally closing at 7.28 for January, a net gain of 14-000 since yesterday. This reaction in futures is only natural after so steady and so sharp a decline. It may or it may not he the beginning of a better feeling in the fleecy staple. The trade demand is still inadequate to fully sustain the market unless it can be augmented by speculation. believe present discount a pret ty liberal crop, but with the holidays almost upon us, it is not likely any material or lasting advance will be seen till after the 1st. of January. I cope my friends who are holding for a rise will see that their cotton is kept out of the weather so as to save actual loss to them and much annoyance to buyers which damaged cotton is sure to bring. New BmtXE market has been steady at 6J to 0.. Yours truly, J. K. Latham. THE MARKETS. Ciiioaoo, December 0. OI'KNINO. CLOSE.
