Atlanta, tie., Dec. 15. -The Southern Cotton Growers Convention in this city adjourned today. All kinds of plans were brought out, to pool the cotton, to reduce the acreage, to buy and hold off the market part of the crop, but no unity of sentiment developed and nothing of importance resulted. Among the suggestions, those made by Raleigh men were the most practical, but among the delegates the disposition to debate was stronger than the ability to do business. One enthusiastic gentleman declared that his plan was this: !' First get the co-operation of all our Southern cotton factories and commission men and future speculators and let tbcm lay aside from the beginning and during the cotton sea son all the low grade cotton as it Is re ceived in various cotton centres, to be destroyed by (ire at the proper time and to be paid for by assessing the quotation price on all cotton named."

The Leg islature today elected him to succeed himself for the term of MX years, begin ning March 4, 1899. He received every one ot the votes cast, including the re publicans and populists. Havana, Cuba, Dec. 14. The' Cuban leaders in the field arc adopting every possible method to prevent even the thin edge of a wedge of autonomy entering their ranks. They not only absolutely refuse to discuss autonomy themselves, but they are determined in their efforts not to allow Spain's offers of self-government to bo laid before the insurgent troops. All emissaries who dare to carry the olivo branch to the field ure hanged if caught. Seventy-five per ceut. of the rebel soldiers today are kept in ignorance of the liberal terms Spain offers. Dover, Eng., December 14 Dover Castle was partly destroyed by lire today The Are started in the officers' quarters and spread to the main block. The whole garrison fought the flames The powder magazine was threatened. Situated at the entrance of a deep depression and surrounded by cbalkliills, the city is de fended by Dover Castle, which is rising from the cliffs 830 feet high, and is nn extensive and very strong fortress. The portions of the castle are said to have been built by the Romans. It stands a little over a mile from the town and its walls enclose thirty-five acres. Ita keep is used as a magazine and Its barracks shelter three thousand troops. Its octa jonal watch tower Is one of the earliest specimens of Roman architecture.

Deo. 14. Secretary Gage will appear before the House Committee on Banking and Currency on Thursday and submit to them in the form of agon, end bill, his recommendations recently made to Congress. Tho determination of Secretary Gage to appear no Thursday and to submit one general finanolal bill Instead of number of separate bills, brought out many expressions of satis faction. It bad the effect of clearing up a situation which wss becoming strained aud gave promise of an earl report to Congress on financial bills. The members of tbe committee on Banking and Currency have decided that tbe first thlug (0 be dono Is to re port a bill embodying the three features recommended by the President, via.: A reduction of the tax on circulation, to ono-half of ooe per cent) the Issuance of circulation up to the par value of bonds deposited and the establishment of small bauka in rural communities. While these will be embodied la the Oage plan, ret as tbey were specially ad vised In the President's .menage It was felt to be advisable to give the House the opportunity of acting on them at once without waiting for the report on the general bill.

C , Dec. 15. )" The news of the swapping of offices between Superintendent Smith of the penitentiary, and Commissioner Mew borne of the Agricultural Department, came very unexpectedly upon the Agri cultural board as well as upon the geu eral public. It seems the plan bad been concocted between the two interested parties, Governor Russell and a few inti mate advisors. It impresses the people moe firmly than ever us to how the Gov ernor runs things to suit himself. But right here, he must have played into the hands of the penitentiary board, by relieving them of their heaviest burden John K. Smith. It must be that John R. is in some secret, else he would not have so quietly given up a $2,500 salary for a f 1,450 one, and that too when ho is at the mercy of the Agricultural Board and may be disposed of whenever the board sees fit to do so.
