The Cotton. Grass and Oat Crops Doing
We'll and Farmers Encouraged.


WoepyILLE, Tenn, July Is The
country looks better now after the long
wet spell. The blues were prevalent
not only among farmers, who, could not
kill grass, hut among the people of busi-
ness, who could not go about as much as
tbev wanted to. Two weeks ago everything
was gloomy. 80 sunshine. Rain fell
hard and often, and it seemed as it the
flood gates were left open to stay. Farm
ers went to work in earnest after the rain
ceased, and have succeeded IN killing
out the grass. Cotton and corn were in
iured to some extent, of course, IN work
ing out, but it may be counterbalanced
by the extra work it will get. Some peo-
ple will not work crop unless there is
grass aud there certainly is enough grass
this year 10 encourage the most laggard
man 70 ''git up and git" The weather
was had fnr saving Wheat, and
that crop is short IN this por-
tion of West Teunessee. Oats
were not cut in many instances. In some
places the clover aud red-top were as
| high as the oats, and farmers did not cut
on that account. There is no hog chol-
era in this section as there was last year.
A hogs death is a rare occurrence.
Meat is cheap and can be bought for I
cents to 1t cents per pound. This of itself
is big item with farmers. Corn is not
so scarce as last year, and is worth 81
cents per bushel-cheaper than in 1884.
The growing corn crop promises to be
as good yield as last year, excepting the
| low bottoms, which were drowned out by
| the heavy rains.
Cotton looks very well, and its out
come cannot be well coniectured yet,
Some of it is laid by" and there is not
much danger that the crop will be quit
ted before it is clean. The low land cot.
ton is small, and is certainly cut of. OLD
hill land will make full crop, and is
perhaps, better than last year. The con-
dition of the people is letter than fol

MINNEAPOLIS MILLERS.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, July 29.-The

provements to the canal progress very
slowly, but as the -four trade was proba-
bly, never more stagnant, millers show
little concern, and often express them
selves well satisfied with the fact that
the mills should be enforced to idleness.
The flour production is we'll sustained for
the number of mills in operation. Las
week it was az ,442 barrels against 46, lao
barrels the preceding week, and 93,960
barrels for the corresponding time in
1884. Three water mills, with a daily
capacity Of 6000 barrels, were running
Wednesday, as were two steam mills, with
about 1000 barrels more. The operation OF
part of these mills, however, seemed
quite uncertain at that time. The
chances for one of 1000 barrels capacity
shutting down before the close Of the
week are almost sure, while the proprie-
tors of another of 5000 barrels could
not say that they would run longer than
Saturday. The two steam mills give
promise of running quite steady. There
has been no change in -four prices
but export buyers begin to ask for prices
and there is more inquiry from the East
The market, however, is inactive, with
prices weak. Receipts for the past week

THE NEW CRUISERS.
The Board TO Examine the Plans an.
Specifications


WASHINGTON, July 29.-The special
board appointed by the Secretary of the
Navy to examine and report upon the
plans and specifications for the proposed
new cruisers recently received, has been
in session at the Navy Department the
greater part of to-day There were
present Commodores Walker and Will
son, Commanders Sampson and Good
rich, Naval Constructor Bemles and Mr..
Herman Winter Commodore Walker
being the senior member of the board
officiated as president.
Secretary Whitney was also present for
short time, and in an informal manner
explained why the board was called
and what was expected. He read
the appropriation act, showing
that Congress put upon him the response
bility of building four ships 'of the best
and most modern design" having the
highest attainable speed, and upon plans
determined upon after consideration of
all designs heretofore adopted by the de-
partment One of the first duties of
this board would be to go through the
designs and decide whether any of them
should be adopted, assuming that they
would find none of them entirely
satisfactory. He then explained to the
board precisely what function it was that
he wished them to perform. He stated
that while the law put the obligation of
construction upon the Secretary of the
Navy, it expected him to do the work
through others. The first thing to be
decided upon was the type of ship to be
constructed, with the accompanying con-
sideration of her displacement, distrib-
uted between hull, machinery, armament,

Therefore he advised the board 10

that if the board deemed it advisable

THE Parnellites were right in taking
John Bright to task for his eulogy of Earl
spencer's management of affairs as Vice
roy of Ireland. Spencer's conduct was that
of an ire gressible and brutal despot, not
one Of whose acts were justified by the at
tituds of any portion of the Irish people,
and the proof of this may be found in the
absolute peace thaa now reigns there under
the vieeroyship of the Earl OF Carnsrvon,
who is administering his trust under the
ordinary laws OF the kingdom, and without
the extraordinary aid of oppressive and ex-
cessive crimes acts such as Spencer con-
stantly invoked and enforced. If MIR.
Bright had not been led away by his pref
udices of r&ce he never could have lent his
voice to cheer Speneer's ipfamies. His
administration in Ireland was disgrace

The Committee Examining into the
Charges Declare that All
The Allegations Set Forth by that Pa.
per are True

LONDON, July 29.-The committee to
inquire into the recent statements of the
Pail Mall Gazette in regard to London
vice has made the following report:
Having been requested to inquire as
to the truth of statements printed in the
Pail Mall Gazette from July 9th to July
10th, we decided from the first to
exclude inquiry into charges against
particular men or classes of men, or
against the police. We strictly confined
ourselves to an inquiry into the system
of criminal vice described After carefully
sitting the evidence of witnesses and
materials before us, without guaranteeing
the accuracy of every particular, we are
satisfied that, on the whole, the state
ments of the Pail Mall Gazette are sub
stautially true.
The report is signed by the Archbishop
of Canterbury, the Bishop of London,
Cardinal Manning and Messrs. Morley
and Reed
A late edition of the Pail Mall Gazette
was published this evening containing
the foregoing report in loaded tyne.

THE DILKE SCANDAL.
The Late Topic of Conversation in Lon
don Club Circles.


LONDON, July 29.-Proceedings are
pending against Sir Charles Dixie, in
volving damages of 100000, in connec-
tion with the now famous scandal cases.
Strong social and political influences are
working to avert public trial. Sir
Charles Dixie is completely prostrated,
and has retired to the country. The
lady concerned is related to Mrs.
Ashton Dixie. The Injured hus-
band is an active Radical, and
formerly held a minor office. 1t is
reported that he insists on a divorce to
vindicate his honor, damages being no
object to him. His wife received a
dowry of e100, 600 from her father, who
is a member of the House of Commons.
The lady is much younger than her hus-
baud, and they have no family. The
affair is the sole topic of conversation in
club and social circles. Intense regret
over the eclipse of Sir Charles Dixie is
felt in all political sections.
