shameless women had purpose in accumulating
data upon which TO pend the present suit
Two ply sicians were called, and both testified
they had examined Mary Watson and found her
pure; Neither, however, on cross-examination,
could swear an attempts to assault the girl had not
been made.
Mary Watson herself was then sworn. She is a
tall slim girl. She testified she was housemaid
for lord Colin Campbell from 1881 till 1889. She
denied all Lady Miles testimony concerning the al
legged intimacy between witness and Lord Colin.
Lady Collins maid used to post letters for her mis-
tress, and witness often saw the names of the
Duke OF Marlborough and Chief shaw on the
envelopes. When the Duke of Marlborough called
he used to ring the bell. Witness even showed the
Duke of Marlborough into the dining room when
he called, because her mistress was with Lord Colin
in his bed room. Witness went up and called Lady
Colin out, saying the cook wanted TO see her.
When Lady Colin came out witness told her IL was
the duke and noceke cook, and Lady Colin, said;
"Hark, you Mary; (Laughter) Lady Colin, wit

alone. DR.. Bird, on one occasion, took tea with

Colin came to the door, saying she did "Keep

Being cross examined, witness said she saw no

When asked by Solicitor Lewis il she had ever
seen any impropriety on the part of Lady Colin,

having written letters to Lord Colin, but asserted
she had never signed them "Ycur Afectionate
Mary" but simply "Mary." The case was then
adjourned,

THE COTTON CROP.
MIR. RUNGE DEFENDS HIS RE-
CENT ESTIMATE.
Special Correspondence to the Statesman.


Special Correspondence to the Statesman.
GALVESTON, November 29.-Last week Mr..
Julius Runge, head of the well.known mercantile
house of Kaufman & Runge, telegraphed to New
York giving his estimate of the cotton crop for
the present year at 6,25000O bales. Certain excp-
tions were taken in New York to Mr., Runge's hg-
ures, and the financial correspondent of the
"News'' telegraphed his paper that Mr.. Runge s
estimate was probably go, % bales too little. Mr.
Kunge has written letter to the News, which
will be published tomorrow, giving his basis for
estimating the crop at six and one quarter mil
lion bales and sustaining his figures by giving
statistical letters from reliable cotton houses in
New Orleans.
"My estimate of the cotton crop is G,2500O0 bales
for the past three months, based on reports of the
national cotton exchange and agri-
cultural bureau, as well as information
received from our numerous correspondents. The
bureau estimates 6,434 gO0 the National Cotton eX
change, 64l4,000; Latham Alexander Co., 6,292,
100. since the publication of these reports serious
damage has been done by killing frosts, etc" rhe
accompanying letters are too long to telegraph but
are replete with figures and statements of interest
to the cotton trade. The letter from the New Or
leans firm, whose name is omitted,a as the letter
was not intended for publication, sets forth that
the damage to cotton By frost has been serious.
Thousands of bolls in all directions will never
open. 1t declares that the crop in Mississippi will
90 hundred and fifty thousand bales under last
YEAR, that Louisiana will fall short from 90 900 to
10000 bales; that Alabama and Georgia will fall 20
per cent. short of last years yield. The letters
point out that certain New York houses,
bearish on cotton, are calculating on a crop of
65UOUOO or more, and are claiming ,5UO,O lleld
for Texas, in order to help out their figures for
big yield on the year. This claim of 1,5OO,l 90
Weld for Texas is declared absurd by the New Or
leans house, and it is a well known fact that not
single big cotton firm in Texas is now claiming
any such yield as 900, 90 bales Earlier in the
season they may have done so but the point made
by Mr.. Runge's correspondents is that if the New
York and Liverpool bears are bolstering up their
big crop estimates by anticipating yield of $780,
80 bales from Texas, they are going to find them
calves sadly mistaken later on in the season. Mr..
lsunge shares their view.
