CONCERNING A CORNER.

Schemes of Southern Farmers to Defeat
the Jute Bsgging Trust.
New YORK, September 1.-Southerr
farmers are eudeavoring by every means
possible to keep ont of the clutches OF the
jute bagging corner men.
A dispatch was received at the Cotton
Exchange yesterday, asking whether cot
ton would be acceptable when put up in
cotton shseting. Some of the insurance
men object to this, though none will posi-,
lively refuse, as yet, toinsure cotton when
put up in that manner. In the event OF
their doing so, some other means will
have to be resorted to.
The principal objection to sheeting il
that it wears out quickly and is very in
hammable. The cotton seed trust people
and others, who have hitherto depended
on jute 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 rich Southerner learned of the
failure of the India jute crop, and immedi'
stely cornered the crop in the United States
and shot the prices up from 25 to 40 cents.
Another big cotton man bid 80 cents for g
very large amount, but the owner Of the
corner refused to sell for less than 45
cents. This figure was entirely too high,
and number of potato bags and Other
secondhand bagging were procured, thor.
Oughly washed and all the seams ripped
ont, whsreupon thay served Just as good a
purpose as new bagging. The prices then
went down to almost nothing. and this is,
in my opinion, about the way the present
corner will end"

CHARLESTON, w. VA, September l.
The Republicans of Ksnawha 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 o row, and the most
disgraeeiul proceedings ever witnessed in
any convention, followed. Men were
hOOtiDg and cursing and swore that the
chair exceeded it's rights. There was q
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 out
for shame and many Of them turned from
the hall with disgust, marked upon their
faces. There were none of the strong ele-
ment Of the party present, and when
something like order was restored, the va
rious committees were appointed and
recess for dinner WAS taken.
After dinuer the delegates returned to
the hall and those who were not excited
ny drink got control. and the business
was done in something like order, con-
tending factions fought like tigers to gaiu
their points. The colored men was largely
represented and demanded representation
on the ticket, bnt ths white folks would not
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 hat a bid to vote for the white
Republican ticket and in consequence
there la a 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. Z. Aultz,
Dr. ID. Mayer and j. W. Parrish, for House
of Delegates; S. Chapman for Prosecuting
Attorney; c. S. Young, Commissioner j.
O. Herman and ]. F. Clinton, Assessors:
J. t. Copenhaner, Surveyor. The ticket
u considered in the whole weak one as
there is some very inferior material on it.
Ii is any easy ticket for the Democrats 10
defeat, as the Republican outlook is bad in
this county, which they have run over
500, 900 in debt in the past two years.

ENGLAND'S HAND
SEEN In THE CHINESE ACTION.
Refusing to Ratfy the American Immigra-
ton Treaty.
OPINION OF LEADING CALIRORHIAHS.
The Senate Amendments Killed the Meas
ure.

WASHINGTON. September mo official
information of the rejection of the Chinese
treaty has been received at the State De-
partment and nothing but the press dis
patch csbled from London last night, as
published this morning, Is 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 infiu-
ence to the extent of the power Of the gov
ernment 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
its mission here, although regarded as en-
tirely unnecessary and useless, were not
believed to be dangerous and mischievous,
ane to imperil 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 very excited and unsatisfactory
state of things existed n the Pacific coast,
regarding the Chinese question, and one Of
ths earliest important tasks which Secre.
tsry Bayard set for himself upon assuming
the duties of his present office, was to Be-
cure the negotiation Of new treaty.
Minister Chepg, gentleman OF great
intelligence, then representing China, was
absent in South America, and on his re-
turn few months later the subject was
broached to him. He had, however, re-
Gently been stricken with, paralysis, and
his successor was already on his way from
China. The beginning of the negotiations
was postponed until the arrival OF the new
representative. Secretary Bayard sought
from the outset to impress upon the mind
of the Chinese Minister the fact
that the social and political life
IN the two countries made anything
like mutuality or equivalence in
the terms of the concessions TO be made on
the one hand, 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 our 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 Uni
ted States was open to residence and occu-
patton by any Chinaman, who should se-
cure IN entrance to this country, while
only few restricted ports of China could
be visited by Americans, even by the
American Minister, under circumstances.

Mrs. Alice j. shsw's Great Success In

New YORK, September Mrs. Alice
J. Shaw, the American whistler, who made
such success in the London season, re-
turned on the City of Rome yesterday.
A number of friends greeted her on the
pier, and she held levee from Z o'clock
until 10, when the custom house people
got through with her baggage.
She looked more beautiful than ever,
and smilingly assured her friendly ques-
tiouers that her whistle had flourished as
well as she had. She was almost tempted
to try it then and there to prove it. Mrs.
Shaw said that she was delighted to get
hsme, though she had enjoyed delightful
times and received the kindest treatment
all the while she has been gone.
~ have had good time, to sum it all
up" she said, ''snd my success socially,
srtistically and financially has exceeded
my expectations. had only one disap-
pOintment, aud that was caused by the
death of the Emperor in Berlin, just as
the arrangements had been completed for
me to whistle before the Queen. But that
will be made up, and more too, another
season, iorI have engaged to go across
again next spring and whistle to the
Queen, as well as in Paris, Berlin and all
the capitals"
Mrs. Campbell, the whistler's accompan-
ist and friend, also Yankee girl, was
equally enthusiastic over her trip. Mrs.
Shaw while abroad went out only to re-
ceptions, dinner parties and saloon enter
tainments, though many efforts were made
to get her to whistle at concerts. She be-
came 80 much the rage, after two or three
Introductory appearances, that she had
more offers than she could accept Of engage
ments from ladies who wished to add to the
attractions of their entertainments. The
astonishing figure Of twenty-five guiness
for drawing room appearance, which it
was then recommended she try, made no
in the demand for her whist
ling.
