The party were shown 10 their carrisgee and

who densely crowded the several streets ira
versed, during the passage oil the procession,
found expression in the clapping OF hands
and waving of handkerchiefs, aHd, in several
marked instances, in hearty and prolonged
cheers. The procession reached the common

Col. VALENTINE BAKER, now Baker Pa
sha, of the Turkish army, and chief of the
AnglO-Rgyptian police, wss some years ago
dismissed from the British army for the
lrifing offense OF making indecent proposals
in a railway carriage to the sister Of a
brother officer and the daughter of an
Episcopal clergyman. He was also sent to
prison for several months for this trifing
Offense, coming out of which, branded as a
felon. he sought service with the Sultan OF
Turkey, where the honor and chastity of
women are measured by the length of
mans purse. Baker was a brilliant cavalry
officer and man of great promise, but his
trifliug oHense for time ostracised him
from decent society in England, and he re-
moved to a country where there is no society
and women are at ninety-nine per cent. dis
count There he made great reputation as
a soldier, and doubtless in the other line, and
after the Russo-Furkish war was sent back
to England on leave of ABSENCE. His arrival
was celebrated by a dinner given by the
Duke OF Sutherland, at which the Turkish
ambassador, Lord Houghton, Lord Strath-
nairn and many other notable personases
were present; and subsequently, by
reception at which the flower OF the
English aristocracy was represented. This
was in 1878. The clubs were not
open to him then, but owing 10 the
influence Of .be Prince OF Wales and the
leaders of the London fashionable world,
even this restriction was removed not long
ago, 90 lightly was the indecent ast ault Of
Baker on a xirtuous woman esteemed. Ii
xAs q mere triHing indiscreiion, yon know.
And now comes Mr.. Gladstone, the premier,
with condonemeut so complete and ample
as to lead people TO suppose that 1t is not
impossible that this reckless r0tls may be
raised to the peerage and have title con-
ferred upon him tn soothe his lacerated feel
ings. With the consent of the British miu-
istry, Baker has become chief of the Egyp-
tiAn gcadaTBeries, and is thus put in posi-
tion where he may continue his indecent
assaults on women at pleasure, with none to
question or make him afraid. Poor man, he
has been long time getting there. For just
such triie is thus 80 readily conaoned
by the British aristocracy Baker Pashs
would have been shot TO death in this eoun-
try, and thus be placed where the evil cease
to worry and seducers are at rest. But they
manage these things differently in England
where, until within the past few months
women we're as infants and had no rights
that men we're bound TO respect.

THE STATE CROP REPORT
shows an UnparalIeIed Yield OF All the
Cereals, and That Tobacco and
Cotton are Safe.

Special Correspondence of the Appeal
NASHVILLE, October I0.--In presenting
the report of the condition of crops for the
month Of September, it may be we'll 10 re-
mark that the standard of comparison is the
crops of 1881. As these reports are int nded
mainly for the information of farmers within
the State, this has been deemed the most sat-
isfactory standard which could be seie cted.
Every product reported, except grapes, stands
above 100; corn being 172, or 72 per cent.
better than last year. With an increased
acreage the actual yield will be very largely
in excess Of the crop gathered in 1881. The
corn crop of Tennessee for 1880 was 62764,-
429 bushels, the area devoted to its culliva-
ton being for that year 2, 1904 ,S73 acres thus
giving an average yield of ZIG bushels per
acre. The increased acreage for the present
year over 1880, is estimated at 10 per cent,
which gives an area of 3,l95, 800 acres.
Estimating the average yield for the present
year at 80 bushels per acre (not too high 1
think, the aggregate yield ia this Slate is
95, $50, 500 bushels. The cotton is reported
late in maturing, though rapidly improving
inpromise. Picking in some localities is pro-
crossing favorably, while in others scarcely
commenced. The bulk of the tobacco crop
in the State has now been housed, only
comparatively small part of it remaining
outstanding. The crop is up 10 the average,
both as to quantity and quality. Should the
portion still outstanding escape injury by
frost, the crop may be approximately esti-
mated at 25,000,O00 pounds. Hogs are scarce
all over the State, but owing TO the great
abundance of feed those OF suitable age for
fattening will be brought up 20 good weight,
and young hogs, by late feeding, will be
made to supply large quantities of pork.
Large quantities of forsge have been saved,
and stock, now generally in good condition,
will have good feeding during the coming
winter. i trust it will not be deemed amiss
if L urge upon the farmers of Tennessee the
importance OF providing comfortable winter
quarters tor all stock kept upon their farms.
Fall seeding has commenced, and the indi-
cations are that large area will be sown in
wheat, rye and barley.

COTTON PLANTERS.
Preparations Making fer the COnven-
tiOn OF the National Association

Special to the Appeal
LITTLE Rock, October 1.-THE Annual
Convention of the National Cotton Planters,
which takes place in this city in connection
with the Arkansas State Fair, October 10Th
TO 2lst, promises to be larger and more i'm
portant than is generally supposed, as a
large delegation of planters have signifed
their intention of being present from
all the cotton States, while the at
tendance from this State promises 10
b overwhelming. The Statehouse is being
profusely decorated as the place for hold
ing the Convention, while the fair grounds
are teemins with the activity and hustle of
exhibitors getting their goods in position.
Exhibits of agricultural m zchinery have
been pouring in at such rate that a new
machinery hall of double capacity has
been built to accommodate it the most i'm
portant exhibit will be the plantation
cotton-seed oil mill, which has Just been
completed. 1t is the frat ever made, and is
perfect beauty, and destined TO revolution
ize Southern farming. Gov. Lowry and
staff and Col. Ned Richardson, of Mississippi,
and Ex-Gov. Patton, of Alabama, and
many other distinguished men have signified
their intention of being present.

OHIO has gone Democratic by $4,000 ma
jority-just 2500 more votes Than the msjor-
ity OF the party in 1877, 5000 more than the
Democratic majority in 1874, 24,20O more
than that of 1873, and 10000 more than that
of 1862. 1t is a clean sweep, victory The
proper tions of which are enhanced by signal
triumphs in ten congressional districts in
addition to those we already have in that
State, with an even chance for two more
which are still in dispute. This makes the
fifth victory for the Democratic party in
Ohio since the organization OF the Repub-
lican party in 1856. The first was achieved
in 1862, when the ema ncipation policy lost
the Republicans all the doubtful States; the
next was in 1878, when Gov. Allen defeated
Gov. Noyes; the next in 1874, when the
antiGran tide swept over the country, and
the last was in 1878, when general disgust
with the milk-sop administration of Hayes
gave the Democrats victory. / the present
congress Inc Oem OcraS represent OnlO
from the 4th, 5th, 10th, 18th and 10th Dis
tricts. In the next Congress Democrats will

18th, 18th, 18th, 18th, 18th, 18th, 10th and
2lst The additional districts carried are the
Let, I'd, Sd, 9th, 18th, 14,h, 18th, 18th, Goth
and 2lst. The Republican majorities in
these distr lets at the last election
were: First, 1925 plurality; second,
1725 plurality; third, 1457 plurality;
sirth, 9lS plurality; tlreIfth, 1860 plurality;
fourteenth, 2ls3 plurality; fifteenth, 1889 plu-
rality; eighteenth, 1927 plurality; t,Dentieth,
1857 plurality; and tsccnty first $500 plu
rality. These Republican maiorities meas
ure the extent of the present Democratic
triumph. Every time Ohio has gone Dem
Ocratic, Pennsylvania and New York have
followed her. 1t will be 90 this year, and
may be 70 in 1884 if the Demo-
Gratis in Congress do not throw away strength
acquired by so much labor, anxiety and
care, and the party in the several States will
put forth their best energies to foster and
encourage the measures and the men by
which they may hitherto have iriumphed or
are to triumph iu November.

This Incompatible combination Of min
strelsy and novelties in that line of smuse-

Leubrie's Theater last night with a crowded

joyable, embracing list of new attractions

Ohio Election.

CINCINNATI, October ]1.-Complete but
unofficial returns from Hamilton county
show the following Democratic majorities:
Newman, secretary Of state, l0650; O'Key,
Judge of the Supreme Court, 9S09; Weible.
Board of Public Works, 1854; Hawkins.

1863; Applegate, iufirmary director, 38I |;
Follett, Congress, First District, 839; Jordan,
Congress, Second district, 1868. The Repub-
licans claim the election of Beresford, sheriff.
Additional election returns are coming in
slowly. As the Republicans are getting in more
advices, they are concedIng everything but
few congressman. Estimates this morning
put the Democratic majority in the State al
25,00O, aud make the congressional delega-
lion stand fifteen Democrats TO six Republi-
cans. The election of Mackinley in the
Eighteenth District and Robinson in the
Ninth are in great doubt, and must carry
both 10 get six congressman. The peculiar
feature Of the contest is that while the Re-
publicans were championing temperance the
Prohibition vote has greatly increased, and
it's estimated at larger per cent OF gain
than the Democratic.
IL O'Clock P.M-Specials from congress
sional districts show very close contests be-
tween Morey (Rep.) and Campbell (Dem.) in
the Seventh District; Hart (Rep) and Neal
(Dem.) in the Twelfth, and Mckinley (Rep)
and Wallace (Dem) in the Eighteenth.
Morey claims majority of forty, Neal and
Hart each claim from four to twelve, and
the official count will be required to decide.
Wallace claims a majority of four, and here,
also, the official count must determine. Mur-
ray (Dem.) in the Third District has ma
jority of 26l.
The Commercials special from Bellaire,
O., says: "Dr. Updegraf, the successful
candidate for Congress in the Seventeenth
District, is reported dead. His home is re-
mote from the telegraph, and the report can
not be verified, but it is known that he was
low with Bright's disease"
COLUMBUS, o., October 11-Returns to-day
from the State election Tuesday have been
meager, and no systematic effort has been
made TO figure on the msjority on the State
ticket. The Democrats, however, claim the
State by 25,OOO or more, though Republicans
think it will not exceed 10000. The con-
gressioDal delegation will probably stand six
TO fifteen in favor of the Democrats. The
Republicans claim the election of Taylo
Robinson, Keifer, Updegraff and McCor-
mack, and consider the contest close on
Morey, Mcclure and Mckinley. The Demo-
Gratis claim the election of Follett, FIRST; Jor-
dan, second; Murray, third; Lefeyre, fourth;
Seeney, hfth; Hill, sixth; Hurd, tenth;
Neal, twelfth; Wallace, eighteenth; Page,
twentieth; Foran, twenty-frst, and concede
the election of Morey, seventh; Keifer,
eighth; Robinson, ninth; Mccormack,
eleventh; Updegraff, seventeenth, and Tay-
lor, nineteenth,

The sesrchers for the skirmishing fund
have reached the conviction that enough
sWindlipg and roguery has been uncovered
to send some OF the trustees to the peniten-
liary. Ga The heels Of this announcement
Mr.. Patrick Ford tells the public in the
Irish World that he has sent his final remit
tanee of SIT ,424 to the Land League fund in
Paris, making total of $342, ,557 contributed
By the Irish people of America to that now
collapsed association. In the issue of the
paper announcing the closing OF the SUBJ
scriptions there is printed list of several
hundred names of Irish men and women in
Ohio who have subscribed sums ranging
from ten cents up to s. This fairly illus
trates the source OF the iund. IL has been
taken from the earnings of hard-working
and not OYer-paid class ii Irish-Americans
through the appeals of local branches of the
Land League and of individual workers.
Where this $342, 1857 has gone to is a prob
lem upen which nobody bat Mr.. Patrick
Egan, the treasurer, in Paris, and some of
his associates can throw any light This, of
course, they will not do. To do so Wonld be
TO expose the workiogs of the League and
make trouble for its LEADER. Behind this
excuse they are safe for the present. But

A COLORED BOOFBLACK
Displays Considerable Daring in Check.
Ing q Runaway.

Yesterday morning about 7330 O'Clock a
horse attached TO butchers wagon took
fright on Main street, and ran TO and out
Madison. George Pratt, a colored bootblack,
was plying his vocation. When the rig
came dashing by he instantly gave chase
and succeeded in catching on to the gate of
the wagon, by the time Second street was
reached. He threw himself into the wagon
and climbed over the bouncing seat, down
on to the dash, by the time Third street
was reached. The horse, in the meantime,
was gaining speed, and causing all the early
vehicles (milk-wagons. drays, slop-carts,
ETC., to take the side of the street. At this
point the boy caught the right rein; another
reach down oyer the dash, among the heels
of the flying horse, and the other rein was
secured. By this time Desoto street was
reached, and the down-grade TO the bayou
bridge made it tough work for George; yet
he never faltered, and before the Charleston
depot was reached, he had completely
checked the horse, and so returned with
him up Madison, receiving cheers from the
crowd that had watched his daring efforts.

ROPER IN FOR 1T.
A Republican Candidate for fhe LeEis-
lature on Trial for Seduction.

The suit OF Henry Brown ps. John Roper
is being tried in the Circuit Court. Brown
is an ex-polIceman and Roper is one of the
Republican nominees for the Legislature.
Roper is charged with sedncing Browns
wife, and Brown wants $4,000 damages.
The case had considerable spice in it yester-
day. The testimony of colored woman
was pretty severe on the Republican nominee
for the Legislature. Should Mr.. Roper be
found guilty, it will give him renewed pres
tige with his party, and even higher disGinc-
ton will await him. He was one of the
men who were nominated by acclamatien at
the Republican Convention. There was no
doubt about him; he was thoroughly popu-
lar and in accord with the party. The court
was well filed during the trial, and those
who enjoy scandals of this kind had plenty
Of food for their Imagination.
