ent writing to a Turkish Journal from

us here of.destitution and misery
which the dr0uth of last year caused
In Central and Southern provinces
Of Persia are fearfully heartrending.
People are dying of hunger, and
even in the streets of the cap
ital its minor phaze of terrible calam-
ity. In KhOrassnn parents are sell
ing their children as slaves to Turco-

WASHINGTON, June 19.--Advices
from Shreveport, La, state that moth
ing has been received from this Office
since May 18th. The prospect for the
cotton crop is exceedingly discoura e
ing. Planters in the swamps have
been compelled to replant many
times. In many cases, the last plant
ing having failed, they have aband-
nned the enterprise altogether. In
more favorable localities the stem Is
so Indifferent that not more than half
u crop can be had. The prospect for
corn is equally unfavorable. The
condition of the ground has prevent
ed the planters from working weeds
and grass have become deeply rooted,
and threaten to choke the little corn
still standing. The general prospect
is gloomy.
POLITICAL AGITATION.
continues. A bitter feeling is enter
tanned by the largest portion of the
whites toward the blacks and officers
of the State government, but the
feeling has become intesiiied in this
Immediate vicinity by the result of
the recent local election. At any
time within the last ten days con
ilict seemed unavoidable. Threats
have been freely INDUCED. Both par
ties are well supplied with arms, and
lappear eager for the conflict. Bands
or armed men are reported to be
ready, and only waiting for the sum
, mons to begin the work of blood
shed. Lawyers, doctors, merchants,
planters and officials attend to their
business with revolvers lying within
easy reach. notwithstanding all
this, i trust, the crisis Is passed, but
should not be surprised If the difficult
ty eliminated In bloodshed at any
time.
