President Arthur dislikes the dawdling and
procrastinating policy in the star route cases
as much as the public are coming to do. He
wants the cases pushed through to speedy
trial and decision, or else, if the government
has no case, to have the whole matter drop
ped and the noise stopped.

that the former should remain in Office until
he has finished the job he began with such
praiseworthy zeal, pluck and energy, of I'M

mates to a figure below the actual require
ments Of the department, leaving the def
cheney TO be supplied by supplementary APP
preparations. Instead Of asking for an am
cunt equal to that expended for given item
during the preceding year. he has carefully
gone over every item of expenditure, and in
every instance where he believed the expendi-
lures would be increased by the natural ex-
pansion of the service, the increased amounts
have been estimated for Last year, for in
stance, under the old method, the amount of
pay Of postmasters was estimated at 81, $780,
900, while the amount actually required was
SIS, 800, 900. For the star route service the
amount asked by Mr.. James for next year is
1890, 900, being $3.50, 900 less than last year.
For railway service the amount recommended
is $40, s55, 900, an increase over the expendi-
lures for last year of about 81, 800, 600. The
necessity for this increase is apparent from
the fact that the railway service was extended
5000 miles last year and over 3, 600 miles dur
ing the first quarter of the current year. Mr.
James estimates that the deficiency for the
next fiscal year will be 1920, 900, instead of
nearly S4,OOO,OOO for last year, and that
should the increase of business be at the cur
rent rate of 104 per cent, instead of eight per
cent, as estimated, even the reduced defcien-
cy will disappear, and the postal service Of
the country be made self sustaining.

mate friend here that he will be candidate for
election to the Office Of sergeantatarms Of the next
United States House Of Representatives to succeed
the present Democratic incumbent, John @. Thomp-

There is no doubt that the position named

THE COTTON CROP.

From exchanges an estimate of the cot
ton crop has been formed. This year the
crop is well advanced throughout the
South, owing to the hot, forcing weather
everywhere in June. 1t was the early
maturity of the cotton in Southern Georgia
that was the chief cause of the heavy re-
ceipts of new crop cotton last year before
the lst of September (32. 29l bales.l OF
this amount, the receipts at Galveston
were 10, 557 bales, while those of Savannah
were II, ,43S bales. The previous year
THAT of drought in Texas) Galveston re-
ceived 10, 527 bales previons to the lst OF
September. Considering that the crop
as indicated by the first bales, is
even earlier than last year in both
Texas and Southern Georgia, we believe
that 40, 000 bales of new-crop cotton will
be received this year by the lst OF Septem-
ber, unless there should be an exception
ally rainy period this month or the next.
The plant is holding up very bravely IN
Texas. In some sections the drought has
been uninterrupted for six weeks, yet all
our accounts agree that the plant has slf-
fered but little, if any. 1t is still growing
and fruiting rapidly. The season seems to
be more like that Of 1876 than 1879, In
the former year the drought lasted
eight weeks in some places, pet
the average yield to the acre was
los. pounds, against 205 pounds in the pre-
vious bountiful year. In 1879, however,
with drought of only six weeks, the yield
fell to l63 pounds. The very heavy rains
this year in May have had an effect, appa-
rently, quite the opposite of what might
have been expected. Instead of inducing
lateral growth of root the plant seems to
have become deeply rooted, and now with
stands drought with exceptional success,
Whatever the cause, the plant this year
has suffered very little from drought in
Texas or anywhere else.

A SWIFT RACER AT the Galedonian
picnic last Saturday, the second fastest
half-mile ever run was made by Red Oak.
Mcbride of Carson Valley owns the animal.
There were four entries, brt the only enc
that pushed the winner was Dice Box, WHO
was good second. While the time ze-
corded makes it the second best time on
record, yet, considered from a turf stand
point, it is really the lest time yet re-
corded. Olitipa made a nall. mile at Sara
toga in 1874 in All. 1t was single dash,
however, and the horss carried but 81
ponnds. The APpeai says Red Oak, made
the second heat on Saturday in 49,, carry
ing l30 pounds. In 1919 Enchantress made
. third heat in 81, at Reading Pa, carry
ing 100 pounds. The Appeal says the
owner of Red Oak vsill back HIM against
any horse in the world in half-r.ilc dash.
or half.mile ana repeat, best two in
three. They will also back him to make
half-mile in AZ, and carry leo pounds.
Like all short-distauce horses, Bed Oak

to see him run. 1t the coming State Fair

the 9th of September. 1873. at San Fran

undiyorced Professional JEALOUSY is
supposed to be at the bottom of the affair.
Mr.. Lucas has labored under Difficult
ties in working up the case. He was here
about three weeks ago on the same business,
and it being rumored that the whole affair
was blackmailing scheme, he was waited
upon by a citizens committee, who desired TO
investigate the matter. AS he left the next
night it was supposed that he had been
frightened off. and had dropped the matter,
but his sudden appearance this morning
showed that he had only been practicing a
little strategy. The Doctor was admitted to
bail in the sun. of 1,00O.

kaIahaua In Paris-An Interview with
HIS MaEcsfY.

His Majesty.
New YORK. August 12th.-The HeralcEs
Paris special says King Kalakaua, who ar
rived here yesterday with Colonel Armstrong,
his Minister of State, and Colonel Judd,
favored me with an interview at the Cont
mental Hotel last evening. His Majesty in
formed me that he would leave On Monday
for Portugal, where he had to superintend
some arrangements for emigration for num-
bers of Portuguese to Hawaii. He told me
he had been much disappointed by his first
glimpse of Paris and Vienna, whereas New
York had Immediately struck him as being
very beautiful city. A nearer acquaintance
with each had, however, greatly modified
his impression.
'And what" said |, are yeur Majesty's
impressions as to the comparative charms Of
the cities you have seen in travelling from
one place to another"
"Comparisons are odious, smartly replied
King Kalakaua, in irreproachsble English.
6 don't want to hurt anyones feelings"
| then approached the chief object of my
visit Has your Majesty" L asked. no
ticed the strange stories sfloat regarding your
intention to cede or sell the Sandwich Islands
to a foreign power"
.'Yes," answered the King, with spirit !;
/ first saw the story at Cairo; but it was
too ridiculous, [ thought, TO need contradic-
ton. In London, however, l saw the story
repeated. There is not word of truth in it.
The papers," he continued, resignedly, do
not seem to understand the state Of affairs
in Hawaii. My Kingdom is constitutional
monarchy, and the cession people talk of
could not be effected in my absence, or with
out long discussion. Il would first have to
be proposed by my Privy Council, then dis.
cussed carefully in the Legislative Assembly,
and finally voted upon"
Colonel Armstrong here remarked that
Queen Victoria might just as reasonably be
suspected of bartering British independence.
King Kalakua nodded assent.
| then asked his Majesty to inform me
what was the real object of his journey.
He replied, 81 set out on my travels partly
for my pleasure and partly for my health !;
but as was going my Privy Council thought
fit to send ont a Minister with me, to inquire
into and report upon the emigration ques-
tion. When he returns the report will be

Col. II. E. Wheeler, business agent of
the Selena Fetter combination, was in the
city yesterday, preparing Tor the coming of
this brilliant company for one entertain
ment mot in the new opera house, on the
evening Of April Goth. Speaking of Miss
Fetter, the Macon Ca Telegraph says:
Like star, brilliant and beautiful, Miss
Selena Fetter flashed at Ralston hall last
night in her genius and power, as Margaret
Elmore in the charming FIVE act drama of
Loves Sacrifice" We were surprised at
the great talent and grace displayed in her
conception Of the character. Her gestures
were excellent, her physique elegant and
dignifed, and her voice musical yet
strong.
She is but one step removed from Mary
Andersen, She is an actress OF wonderful
and unusual briliancy
The costuming of Miss Fetter is costly
and beautiful fair creature attired in
tasteful elegance, making a picture lovely
to look upon.
