CONCERNING A CORNER.
Schemes Of Southern Farmers to Defea

Schemes of Southern Farmers to Defeat
the Jute Bsgging Trust.
NEW YORK, September 1.-Southern
farmers are eudeavoripg by every means
possible to keep ont of the clutches of the
iute bagging corner men.
A dispatch was received at the Cotton
Exchange yesterday, asking whether cot
ton would be acceptable when put up in
cotton sheetiDg Some Of the insurance
men object to this, though none will posi-
lively refuse, as yet, toinsuIe cotton when
put no in that manner. In the event OF
their doing so, some other means will
have to he resorted TO.
The principal objection to sheeting liz
that it wears out quickly aud is very in
hammable. The cotton seed trust people
and Others, who have hitherto depended
on lutte bagging, have commenced sending
cotton seed in oiled paper bags. 1t is be-
lieved that if both these schemes prove
successful the corner in jute bagging will
be soon ended.
A prominent man on Wall street says:
''In 1867 o rich Southerner learned OF the
failure of the India iuLe crop, and immedi-
ately cornered the crop in the United States
and shot the prices up from % to 40 cents.
Another big cotton man bid 80 cents for a
very large amount, but the owner of the
corner refused to sell for less than Al
cents. This figure was entirely too high
and number of potato bags and Other
cond-hsnd bagging were procured, thor
ousbly washed and all the seams ripped
out, whereupon they served Just as good a
purpose as new bagging. The prices Their
went down to almost nothing. and this Is
in my opinion. about the way the present
corner will end"

Certain criticism, manly based on mis-

The United States Government, actins

is looking to the security of the country.

The Ursulino sisters WIN Give Up Their
Convent aud Return to France.
PTrTsBURG, PA, September lit is
probable that the troubles which have ex-
isted among the Ursuline Sisters for months
past will be amicably arranged without
any further interference on the part OF the
court. 1t was understood to-day that by
direction of the Pope the matter would be
withdrawn from court. One OF the at
torueys stated that the basis OF set
Element was the payment OF $50, 600 to
Sister Alphonse aud the other dissatisfied
sisters, and that the expenses OF their re-
turn TO France be betrayed. The amount
stated is the same stated in the dispatch
purportipg to come from Rome, which was
submitted 10 the court by counsel for the
deposed mother superioress, Madame Al
phonse, and the authenticity ofwhich was
Questioned. Counsel on both sides admit
ted to day that the matter would be set
tied and that the deposed sisters would re-
turn at once to France.

RAZORS OUT
In THE WAR ON THE KAEAWHA,
A Lively Republican Row at Charles
ton.

Special TslSordns 10 the Sunday Register.
CHARLESTON, W. VA, September l.
The Republicans of Kanswha met to-day
to nominate county ticket. The conven-
ton was called to order by DR.. F. Clarke,
who named /. J. Mason temporary chair
man. This raised q row, and the most
disgraceful proceedings ever witnessed in
any convention, followed. Men were
hootiDg and cursing and swore that the
chair exceeded its rights. There was a
general rush to the stage, and the ser
vices of the city police had to be
called in to quell the riot. The more
thoughtful Republicans present cried ont
for shame and many Of them turned from
the hall with disgust, marked upon their
faces. There were none OF the strong ele-
meDt OF the party present, and when
something like order was restored, the va
rious committees were appointed and a
recess for dinner was taken.
After dinner the delegates returned to
the hall and those who were not excited
by drink got control, and the business
was done in something like order, con-
tending factions fought like tigers to gain
their points. The colored men was largely
represented and demanded representation
on ths ticket, but the white folks would no,
have it and the faithful negroes were sat
down upon. They nominated one Of their
number for member for the Legislature,
but his claims were ignored and he got
nothing but q bid to vote for the white
Republican ticket and in consequence
there is holy kicking among the colored
people who have 1000 votes in the country
The ticket put up is as follows: T. Ro-
man Pickens, Sheriff; DIR. A. E. Aultz,
DIR. ID. Mayer and J. w. Parrish, for House
OF Delegates; S. Chapman for Prosecuting
Attorney; c. S. Young, Commissioner; J.
@. Herman and j. +. Clinton, Assessors:
J. I. Copenhaner, Surveyor. The ticket
is considered in the whole weak one as
there is some very inferior material on it
1t is any easy ticket for the Democrats to
defeat, as the Republican outlook is bad IL
this county, which they have run over
800, 900 in debt in the past two years.

ENGLAND'S HAND
SEEN In THE CHINESE ACTION
Refusing to Ratify the American lmmigra-
ton Treaty.

WASHINGTON. September mo Official
information of the rejection of the Chinese
treaty has been received at the State De,
partmeut and nothing but the press dis
patch cabled from London last night, as
published this morning, ia known on the
subject Friends of the administration say
the treaty contained arrangements with
China which the British government was
most anxious to make, and British intiu'
ence to the extent of the power OF the gov
eminent to secure a rejection of the treaty
by China has been apprehended by them.
For this reason the amendments TO the
treaty, after it had received the deliberate
approval of the Chinese government through
it's mission here, although regarded as en-
tireiy unnecessary and useless, we're not
believed to be dangerous aud mischieyOus,
ane to impsril the great objects sought to
be obtained upon our side in the long
pending negotiations to settle an important
question.
When President Cleveland came into
power a very excited and unsatisfactory
state OF things existed II the Pacific coast,
regarding the Chinese question, and one OF
the earliest important tasks which Secre'
tary Bayard net for himself upon assuming
the dates of his present office, was to Be-
cure the negotiation of a new treaty.
Minister Cheng, Il gentleman OF great
intelligence, then representing China, was
absent in South America, and on his re-
turn a few months later the subject was
preached to him. He had, however, re-
Gently been stricken with paralysis, and
his successor was already on bis way from
China. The beginning of the negotiations
was postponed uutil the arrival of the new
representative. Secretary Bayard sought
from the outset TO impress upon the mini
of the Chinese Minister the fact
that the social and political life
10 the two countries made anything
like mutuality or equivalence 10
the terms of the concessions to be made on
the one baud, and the other impossible,
and to the end that these conditions might
be fully appreciated, he recommended
that the Chinese Minister travel through
the country at his leisure and observe the
habits and modes of living Of orr people
for himself. The chief point of difference
of service was the fact which was to be
considered at the very starting point, that
the whole length and breadth OF the Uui-
ted States was open 70 residence and Occu
patton by any Chinaman, who should re.
cure an entrance to this country, while
only few restricted ports of China could
be visited by Americans, even by the
American Minister, under circumstances
