Sir Francis de Winton says Stanley's let
ter merely confirms the explorers previous
dispatches and furnishes little additional
information. He expects that further re-
ports from Stanley will shortly be forth
coming. A great deal OF speculation is rife
as TO why the letter to Tippoo lib was for
warded TO Brussels and the other dispatches
from Stanley withheld. but as yet no theory
has been arrived at that will serve to eX-
plain the circumstance.

Madame BoulanRar.

No more pathetic spectacle now con-
fronts the eyes of the world than that of
Madame Boulanger. wife of the flghty-
fancied general, who for so long has
lived alone with her two daughters in
retiracy in Paris. Hers is sad though
handsome face, ins which pain has cut
more lines and grooves than time; while
to listen to her low, sweet voice is to
wonder how the General can endure
passing any of his days beyond the
reach of its subtle music. She is gen.
tie, little heart-broken lady, from whom
the iron hands OF ambition have clutched
all that she found best in love.
And she has not even the satisfaction
Of knowing that the man who turned
the sunshine of her earlier days into the
bleak desolatiUn of the present ever
gives her single thought. Still she
does not condemn him. ''It is not fol
roo to Judge him." she sometimes says
when some one accosts her concerning
him; "we loved each other once! Some
day." she usually adds, ''hs will need
my love again. do not wish to be di.
vorced from him, because l want to re.
tain the right to care for him when all
the world forsakes him when, save his
wife, he has no friend" History tells
lis of few more beautiful characters thar
hers. How unworthy of her is tht

The Civil Service Law.

Baltimore american Washington cor
respondence: New young congressman
as they come to Washington take good
care to have themselves interviewed,
and they take equally good care to say
things that are popular Their strongest
hold is, of course, civil service law, land
one after another they denounce it, and
demand its abolition by the coming
Congress. That kind of stuff is par
dopable in new men. Nobody knows
them, ard they must say something
popular in order to be read. But when
a man of Congressman Payson's repu-
tation and standing comes along and
Eliminates in the same absurd style, his
best friends regret it. Not that they
may not fully agree with him. But
every sensible man knows that, for.
tunately or unfortunately, nothing will
ever come of all this anti-ciyil service
law agitation. 1t has come to stay
II needs improving and will be i'm
proved; but one thing can be de-
pended upon absolutely no Congress
will ever dare to repeal the civil service
law. 1t is all very we'll for Congress to
swear at it,. and for them and their con-
stituents to demand" its abolition. All
this is the merest talk, and every Con-
grcssman knows it. There have been
annual bills offered to do away with it,
but the very men who offered the bills
knew perfectly we'll that the bill would
never even come back out of committee.
Tho simple truth is that the Congressman
of the Fifty-irst Congress, like those of
preceding Congresses, however much
they may declaim and talk to reporters,
and however much they may hate the
present law, the same Congressman will
never dare TO vote for its abolition. And,
furthermore, 70 President of the United
States will ever sign any bill, granting
for an instant that Congress would pass
it, which will abolish or even seriously
hamper the operation of the law. So that
all these rabId interviews might as well
cease. The law can be and needs to be
very much improved, hut it never will
be abolished.

THE COTTON OIL TRUST.
Plans Adopted for Changing It Into
Corporate Concern.

Corporate Concern.
New YORK, Nov. 6.-The committee
appointed at the last meeting of the Ger.
tifrate holders of the Cotton Oil Tr'lst
to examine into its affairs and suggest a
method for changing the trust into a
corporate concern, met this afternoon,
T. p. Alcott, presiding. The reporI
presented and adopted, after consider
able discussion, was on the basis OF
changing the present certificates into
stock which would be assured by de,
post of all securities owned by the trust
with the Central Trust Company. The
new stock will consist of $27, 900, ,00C
common and SIS, 900, 900 6 per cent. non
cumuiating preferred stock.
The committee reported Chat through
errors of Judgment loss of $277, l1C
had been sustained and had been
charged off on the books of the com.
pany.
The report Of The trustees for the tisca
year ending August Sd, 1889, was found
to be correct The extraordinary loss OF
$277 10 is accounted for by the fact
that the president and treasurer of III,
trust had for the purpose, as they state,
of maintaining and Strengthening til,
credit of the concern used its funds in
supporting the price of certificates
These transactions entailed a loss of oycl

president, contributed $10O, 900 TOWARD
making up the deficiency.

THE NOVEMBER GALES.
A SUMMING UP OF THE RESULTS OF
TUESDAYS CONTESTS.
How the Elections Are Regarded in Ad-
ministration Circles-Eforts to Explain
the Unexpected Republican Defeats BY
Everything But the Real Reasons.
(ITrUm tie Philadelphia Times.)

The adverse winds that so often chill
new administration have blown this
year with unexpected violence. Penn
sylyania is about the only Republican
State that stands unmoved, and even
here it is to the Democratic failure in
Philadelphia more than to the votes Of
the Counties that the Republican major
ity is mainly due.
Ohio has gone Democratic, electing
Campbell Governor over Foraker by some
5000 majority. The Democrats have ap-
parently elected their whole State ticket,
as well MS majority in each branch of
the Legislature, thus securing the United
States Senatorship.
Even more surprising is the result in
Iowa, where Democratic Governor is
elected for the first time since the Re-
publican party was organized. The Re-
publicans retain the Legislature, having
districted the State for that purpose, but
the popular verdict is emphatic.
Mahone's defeat in Virginia is over
whelming. The majority for Mckinney
is at least 35, 900 and the Democrats will
have three fourths of the House of Rep
rentGtives and two thirds Of the Senate
In Maryland the. Republicans made
some slight gains, but the Legislature il
still strongly Democratic.
In the East there have been no such
startling changes as III the West, but
the gains are all on the Democratic side.
Albeit is elected Governor of New Jer-
sey by at least -, 900 majority, and the
Democrats have safe majority in the
Legislature. New York gives some
5000 plurality to the Democratic State
ticket, though the Democratic gains are
not sufficient to change the Legislature.
Massachusetts,, on the other hand, elects
the Republican candidate, Bracket,
Governor over Russell by less than
1000, against $4,000. for Governor
Ames last year.
Such is very brief summary of the
November elections. The record is not
fattering to the administration. But
fortunately the warning has come early
and there is time to profit by it.

AWoNDERFUL COTTON PLANT.
A Spartanburg Farmer Raising Cotton
Seed Without Lint.

News comes from Spartanburg Of a
new cotton plant, which, if it is as
claimed, will make a wonderful revolu-
ton in the agricultural and cotton oil
interests of the nation. 7. Ferguson,
an experienced cotton planter, claims to
have cotton plant which will produce
nothing but cotton seed without the
lint. His statement is briefly as follows:
lie claims that there is male and fe-
male cotton plant-the male being de-
signated, he thinks, by the red calks.
The seeds are vari-colOred, the shades
being generally blue, green and white,
and Of course cannot be- distinctly speci-
fled. Given this fact, Ferguson CON-
menced, some time age, to pick out the
male plants, and with the seed extracted
from them planted another patch separ-
ately. When the crop was ready for
picking the male plants were again Sc
lected and the production of seeds
planted separately again. This process
OF selecting the male plants was kept up
until at last the lint refused to germin-
ate, and nothing is left in the
bolls save a large amount of seed.
The amount of seed contained in the
boil is more than equal to the weight of
the lint and seed found in the average
sized boil of cotton. Ferguson claims
that he can produce four hundred
bushels of seed to the acre by this new
discovery, where only thirty-fivc bushels
are now gathered with the lint. He has
been very careful in producing the re-
suits given aboye-to obliterate all YES
tige of lint from a boil of cotton-and
has succeeded in a most remarkable
manner. Other experienced planters
have been shown Ferguson's new dis
covery and are much struck with it.
An expert who was shown the plant
and bOlls said the boil has the appear
ance, both on the exterior and the inte-
rior, of a regular boil of cotton after the
lint has been picked out. The seed are
little larger than the common seed and
are perfectly free from any semblance
of lint. The bolls are filled with these
seed, which are, as numerous as okra
seed in a pod of okra. The revolution
that will be effected by this new cotton
plant, If it can be cultivated success
fully, will be beyond calculation. If
Ferguson's calculations are correct, the
cotton oil business will be entirely revo-
lutionized. The planters who now raise
cotton are fortunate if they can make
200 pounds of lint cotton to the acre.
Counting the value of cotton seed at $50
an acre is considered big return to
planters in this State. Ferguson claims
that his new cotton seed plant will yield
at least 800 an acre. This amount he
says will be obtained from 400 bushels
of cotton seed at twenty cents per
bushel, that being the present price paid
for the raw seed. The State agricultural
bureau will investigate the matter.

A Girl Horse Racer.

4 pretty incident of the Ivy City races
of last week is being told among the gen
tlcmcn riders at their clubs. 1t recalls
the romantic days Of the period before
the war, when the Southern chrvalry
was supreme in the atfars of the turf.
The story is idyllic. After Modoc had
made his famous victory and won the
silver cup that was worth $3.50 and the
golden opinions worth very much more
in value. there was strong desire
among the gentleman riders, members
Of The Dumhlane Club and others, to
meet the owner of the winner, who is nc
other than Miss Carter, of the illuStr!ous
house of the Carriers, Of Virginia. Hel
home is in WarrcntOn, Va.
Miss Carter consented to meet some
Of the gentleman ut the club house at
the close of the days sport. The rider
of Modo", Mr. Jimmy Maddox, was also
present. The newly won cup, which
holds gallon, was filled with cham
pagnc, and the ladies and men present
drunk from it in the old loving-cuE
