Charleston detectives believe that they
have succeeded in running down the Silver
Star robbers. An account Of the robbery
was given in the MORNING News at the
time it was discovered. Detective Green
went to Wadmalaw Island last week to look
for the robbers, one of whom was suspected
to be John Hayward, a colored man, and
the stolen money. He passed himself off as
a cattle buyer, and securing rod used for
prospecting for phosphate rock, went to
work to discover the treasure that he be-
lieved TO be concealed on Heyward's prem
ises Going into the stable he drove his rod
in the earth, and finally struck it rich" by
finding buried under the mule trough a
crocus bag containing about $3.50. The
money was all in silver--in Soc, 25c. and 10c.
pieces Hayward protested his innocence,
and declared that his son Edward had put
the money in the stable where it was found.
He offered to give Green his mule and cattle

THE TRAVEL SOUTHWARK.
The Great Rush of Northern Tourists
to South Georgia and Florida.

The Great Rush of Northern Tourists
to South Georgia and Florida.
"There never were SO many tourists in
South Georgia and Florida as now,n said
an observant gentleman yesterday, and the
gentleman was in position to know what
he was talking about. FLORIDA is full of
people, -" he added. land Savannah never be-
fore had so many tourists as she has at this
time A glance at the hotel registers cor
roborates the statement. Every train
brings crowds who stop Off to see Savannah
and to rest before continuing their journey
1t is not by train alone the tourists come
and CO. A sea voyage is attractive to a
great many people who come by rail,
returning by steamer, or who, having made
the voyage southwark, return by rail. At
any rate, the great California craze" has
not affected the South, for the Northern
tourists are focking into Florida as they
have never done before.
The railroad authorities are getting wor-
ried about how they will get the tourists
out of Florida now that they are there
When the tide turns and the rush back to
the North begins next month, it will re-
quire great amount of engineering and
management on the part of the railroads to
provide TRANSFORMATION.

EUROPEs COTTON TRADE.
Interesting Statistics from Abroad
The Foreign Consumption.

Interesting Statistics from Abroad
The Foreign Consumption.
Respecting the cotton trade of the CONT
nent for the year ended Dec. 81, 1887, the
following from the Liverpool Post of Jan
20 last cannot fail to interest all the least
watchful of supplies and stocks:
The import of raw cotton into the CONT
nent last year was the largest on record, the
total arrivals having been 1888, $50 bales,
against ,059 $50 in 1896, including 9, las, 900
American, against 1857 $50. The increase
in 1887 over 1886 was IA, 10 bales, includ-
ing 46S, 800 American. This exceptionally
heavy movement was due chiefly to the
fastened import of cotton into Russia in
anticipation of the recently increased Gus
toms duties For this reason 81 $50 of the
46S, 500 increase in American arrived in the
last three months of the year.
The deliveries to spinners were correspond
ingly heavy, the total having been 1 1000, 800
bales, against 3,3l7,2l i'll 1886, including
1859, 100 American, against 1875, 200, or
~, 93l bales per week, against IS, S56 in 1885,
including 4l,39S American. against 32,0l5.
The excess in deliveries as of the imports was
taken chiefly by Russia, part having gone
also to Germany and France, but there was
very little difference between the move
ment for two years in respect of SPAIN
Italy, Austria or Switzerland. The actual
weekly consumption of the Continent in
1887 was about II 90 bales of 400 pounds per
week, against 81, 400 bales in 1886, and it is
estimated that in bales of 400 pounds the
stocks at the mills at the end of the year
were about 49,. 900 larger than at the close
of 1886, and 220, 900 larger than at the close
of 1885. At least 100000 bales of the excess
are in Russia
The actual weekly consumption Of each
country in 1887 was about as follows, in
