FROM NEW ORLEANS.
Inaugural Ceremonies of the ReOpening
of the North, South and Central Amer.
lean Exposition.

New ORLEANS. Nov. 10.
The inaugural ceremonies of the North,
South and Central American exposition are
progressing smoothly. Commercial exchang-
es are closed and all other business is in a
measure suspended. Flags are displayed
throughout the city and on the shipping. The
initial feature of the ceremony Tuesday was
the presence of military organizations fol-
lowed by a long line of carriages occupied by
managers of the exposition, United States.
State and city officials. foreign consuls and
invited guests. The procession arrived at
the exposition wharf soon after | o'clock and
moved toward the main building amidst a
scene of great enthusiasm. The attendance
at the exposition was large. The procession
soon reached Music Hall, where the opening
exercises were held. Director General Glenn
in few words formally rendered to Presi-
dent McConnicO the grounds and buildings.
He alluded to the fact that for various rea-
sons many exhibitors are behind hand, but the
space was all to be occupied and a magnil
cant collection would soon be in order. In
conclusion he stated that he handed over the
building and grounds in a condition of read-
ness and freedom from embarrassment and
that was probably unparrelled in the history
of expositions.

ANOTHER WRECK.
The Iron steamer Brooklyn Goes Ashore
of the Coast Of AnticOsti-The Passen.
gers and Crew All saved.

QUEBEC, Nov. 10.
A dispatch from signal service agents at
the southwest point of Anticosti, states that
a man from steamer Brooklyn of the Domin-
ion line, had reached Heath Point and re-
ported the steamer ashore at 6 A. NJ, Sun
day, 10 miles of that point. No one had
been on board the steamer since the accide Mt
occurred. The weather was very rough and
two compartments of the vessel were full of
water. 1t is probable the government steamer
Napoleon will be sent to the Brooklyn's as
sistance. The Brooklyn was bound from
Liverpool to this port.
Later particulars from Heath Point state
than the passengers of the steamship Brook
lyn are all safely landed and are scattered
under canvas at different points along the
coast and at fishermeD's huts. 1t is generally
conceded that the vessel will be q total
wreck. The weather since che went ashore
has been a succession Of heavy northeast
gales and binding snow storms and if no
provisions have been saved great privations
will undoubtedly be experienced by the pas
sengers and crew. The Brooklyn had a
crew of about 20 men and 40 passengers.
She had general cargo for Quebec, Mon
treal and the west. The Brooklyn in an iron
vessel built in 1862 and clsssed A /. She is
Of 1856 freight and 1916 gross tons.

FOREIGN NEWS.
WAR DECLARED.
Jehs Bull Declares War Against Bsrmah
$4,000 Troops Ordered There.

NV YORK, Nov. 10.
The Commercial Advertisers London dis.
patch says: A cabinet council was held at the
official residence of the first lord of the treas
ury today. The reply of King Theban to
England's ultimatum having been read, the
cabinet declared war against Burmah, and a
formal declaration, with the Queens sanction,
has been issued. The French government
and the Burmese minister resident of Paris
have been notified. All foreign subjects re-
manning in Burmah are required TO come into
the British lines. The British army of inya-
sion is advancing, $1,000 strong, the greater
portion by steamers. The first military oper.
alton will be the bombsrdment BY the iron
clad flotilla of the Minlah forts.
The ambassadors of the powers at Constan-
tinople have reached unanimous decision
recommending the complete autonomy of
Bulgaria and Eastern Roumelia. The rev.
olution by which the union of the two states
was effected is recognized as a past accom-.
plish. The Russian demand for the removal
of Prince Alexander is agreed to. The re-
spective governments have still to ratify these
conclusions. The British opposition to the
removal of Alexander was overcome by the
offer of the vacant throne to Prince Henry of
Battenburg, Alexander's youngest brother,
and the husband of Princess Beatrice. Ger
many objects to Prince Henry and might
consent to the substitution of Prince Louis,
Alexander's elder brother, now in the British
navy, and latter is regarded as the probable
choice Of the Rounielists.

COTTON CROP.
Reports from Various Places Show an
Increase Over Last Year.
New ORLEANS. Nov. 10.

New ORLEANS, Nov. 10.
The report Of the National Cotton Exchange
for October, says of the cotton crop: Picking
has progressed satisfactorily during the past
month. The proportion of the crop remain
ing in the field is generally estimated at
about one-tbird. In Texas and the Mississ-
ippi valley the weather has been almost un-
exceptionally fine for this work. while in por-
tions of Tennessee, Alabama and states east,
there has been considerable rainfall with
some heavy storms along the Atlantic sea-
board, and excepting Georgia, complaints
are numerous in consequence.
Killing frosts have been reported in local
tiles in every State ranging in date from Oct
10 to 26,and were most frequent in Arkansas,
Mississippi, Alabama, North Carolina aud
Tennessee, vi bile only few instances thereof
are cited in Texas.
Alabama is also disappointed, for though
in the more northerly portion the crops show
decided Improvement over last year. in the
remainder of the State embracing if not the
largest cotton countries in the entire cotton
belt, the result is such as to give about the
same yield per acre as in 1885. The total is
estimated at G, 1850, 900 bales, an increase OF
944 900 over last year.

THE WRECKED srEAnER.
Forty. Eight Persons Perish with the
steamer Alxonia-A Night OF Terror
on the Great Lake-The Thrilling
Story Told bv the Survivors.
PoRr ARTHUR. Ont. Nov. 10.

FORT ARTHUR. Ont., Nov. 10.
Forty-eight persons we're lost by the
wrecking of the steamer Algonia on Lake Su-
perior last Saturday. The story of the dis
aster, as related by Csptsin Moore, is that
the Algonia passed through St. Mary's canal,
bound for Port Arthur. Ontario, las. Friday
noon. Soon after reaching Lake Superior
the wind began to freshen up from the north
east, and great bank of leaden clouds along
the northern horizon denoted the approach of
heavy weather. Realizing, however, that the
Algonia was one of the strongest and most
powerful steamers afloat, and well able to
cope with even severe gale, Captain Moore
kept her on her course. But as night ap-
preached the wind continued to increase in
violence, and by dark had developed into
one of the fiercest and most destructive gales
ever experienced on the Upper Lakes. As
the gale increased the sea began to make,
and before midnight Lake Superior was
lashed into a wilderness of seething foam
The tempest screeched. great seas swept COM
pletely over the struggling steamer. and the
situation was made all the more terrible by a
binding snow storm that set in before morn
ing. 1t was impossible to see the length of
the steamer. The passengers and crew were
terrified beyond measure, and momentarily
expected to see the steamer plunge to the
bottom.
BY the instructionsof of Captain Moore the
officers circulated among the passengers, try
ing to allay their fears. They were panic
stricken, however, and huddled together in
the cabin, where the screams and prayers of
women and children could be heard above the
laundering of the gale.
Saturday morning Isle Royal was sighted,
and Captain Moore headed the steamer for
Rock Harhor whera he hoDed m gain a shal
