AIL.EGED DIscREPANcIEs.

NEW YORK, November 10.
There was decided Iull yesterday. The
political headquarters of both parties
were almost deserted, and save that the
committee have not yet resolved them
selves into their original element and arc
still at their post, it would hardly be sus-
pectcd thata great and exciting Presi-
dental contest had just passed over.
Nevertheless there is little besides poli-
tics spoken in the streets, and no matter
how the conversation begins it is sure to
end with Blaine and Cleveland. The
Democratic National Committee were at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel all day, and al
though little business was done, the con-
verSation was animated. Mr.. Barnum
left town ON Saturday night, but will re-
turn this morning. Colonel Tracy, Mr..
james and Mr.. Whitney were present,
and were kept pretty busy receiving re-
pOrters and furnishing them with infOr-
nation. Colonel Tracy said to Star re-
porter:
There ~ little doubt but that mistakes will
be found when the final Official count shall
be made, but they are as liable to be on one
side the other. Thus, if this sort of thing
is persisted in, 445 votes in Chatauqua COun-
tg will be found on our side; 100 in Delaware,
and on. And remember, the Supreme
Court decided in 1876 that no investigation
could get behind the Board of Canvassers
records.
Mr. Smith, of the State Committee, said
that there were no further developments.
Leaders of both parties were in anxious
consultation all day long. The Republi-
cans gave out that discrepancies of from
5000 to 000 votes had been discovered
in Mr.. Blaine's favor.

opportunity for her enemies to spread a
report that the lady was intoxicated,
which is contradicted by the certificate

WAsHISGTON, ID. C., NOvemb r l3.
The November returns of cotton to the
Department of Agriculture relate to the
yield per acre, and show the effects of the
long continued drought in reducing pro-
duction. The lateness of killing frosts
has less effect than usual in enlarging the
yield, as the vitality of the plants was too
nearly exhausted to produce top crop.
The drought had not been broken at some
points on the Gulf coast at the date of re-
lower turns. The indicated yield per acre Is
in nearly every State than in the census
year, which was one of average pro-
duction. The lowest yields arc now as then
in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Texas.
The reduction this year is very marked in
Louisiana and Arkansas, the region Of
most productive cotton lands. The re-
turns by States indicate the yield per
acre as follows, the figures being subject
to modification by fuller returns; Vir-
ginia, $50 pounds; North Carolina, IT'S;
South Carolina, 1852; Georgia, 1856; Flori-
da, IO5; Alabama, 100; Mississippi, l75;
Louisiana, 100; Texas, l43; Arkansas,
200; Tennessee, lG0.
The indications point to crop some
what larger than that of Ss3, gathered in
unusually fine condition, of good color,
unstained by storms and free from trash
and dirt.
The returns of the rate of yield of corn
indicate a product somewhat in excess
of / 800, 600, 900 bushels, or an average
rate, a small fraction above twenty-six
bushels per acre. The best yields are, as
in 1888, in what has been designated the
great American desert. The "arid re-
gions'' in the vicinity of the hundredth
meridian have produced heavy crops of
maize of high quality. That line of
longitude has ceased to be an absolute
barrier to corn production, or general
farming. The quality of corn is better
than in 1888, nearly everywhere, and In
the Northern belt It is worth twenty-five
to seventy-fve per cent. more.
The potato crop is nearly an average
yield, or ninety bushels per acre, and ex-
ceeds $50. .O0O, 900 bushels.

New NoRK, Jan. IA report was
circulated this morning that Endicott and
Coolidge, who recently joined the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company and
Oregon Trlnscontinental directory have
succeeded in prevailing upon those com
panies to abandon the construction Of their
new line to a connection with the Union
Pacifics Oregon Short Line. Officials
Of the Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company deny this, and state that the
work has been discontinued owing to
heavy snow aud bad weather; but in the
spring the road will be rapidly pushed to
completion.
Endicott and Coolidge, had some sense
when they advised that abandonment, for
il is We'll known that it will b. heavy
outlay to build the road, and when built.
1t will not pay operating expenses, and
specially ii the Oregon Short Line turns
down Snak e river, and the managers OF
the o. ). l.. will be completely sold if
they should accept Of the Baker City
Line as a gift, on condition that they

the well advised men Of the West know
this full well. and the efforts of Portland
and the o Il. 4 n. Co. to get the q. S.
