Bynum of Indiana and Crisp of Georgia
the Leaders in the Fight.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE work of
selecting speaker for the Fifty-second
congress is begun. New Democratic
candidates are springing up every day.
1t is a fight between the north and
south. Crisp of Georgia and Bynuln Of
Indiana have each the strength of their
respective sections of the country.
Mills of Texas, Hatch of Missouri.
Blount of Georgia, Mcmillan of Tennee-
see. and Lockwood of New York, are
the other candidates; also, Wilson of
West Virginia is considered a very
brsiny man, who would make an accept
able speaker. Reed, of Maine. it is con-
ceded by both parties, will be voted for
by the Republicans
But there can be little said in the
speakership race except TO announce
who the candidates are.
The Democrats have exceedingly
strong men to handle the work of their
committees.
A telegram received here announces
that w. G. +. Breckenridge has entered
the race for speaker. 1t was thought
until now that Kentucky would net
have a candidate. but if there was one
from that state it would be McCreary,

THE COTTON CROP
As Estimated from Returns Sent to the
AaricnIlural HcunFfiirrnt.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE cotton
returns Cor November, to the depart
ment of agriculture, are county esti-
mates of yield per acre. The consolida-
tion, considering areas with rates of
yield, with correction only of obvious
errors, makes the average yield 1877
pounds Of lint per acre. 1t is about the
same as the yield Of last year, and better
than the returns of yield last Novem-
Der, which were exceeded by the results
of the final investigation. Some of the
retlrns report killing frosts, which did
not extend to large area on the south
ern side Of the cotton belt.
Much will therefore depend on the
weather in November and December,
not only in perfecting growth, but in
saving the crop. Should the season CON
tinue favorable, and the views of corTe-
spondents prove conservative, the result
may be slightly larger than is here indi-
Gated. The quality Of lint has been de-
Perforated by excessive rains, and injur-
ing discoloration. Virginia 16S pounds,
North Carolina 1872, South Carolina 175,
Georgia 1866, Florida 10s, Alabama 1850,
Mississippi 200. Louisiana 23S, Texas 1876,

ANCIENT DELPHI.
Two Buyers for the Valuable
Archaeological Treasure.
The American Archaeological
Institute is One

And the French Government i the OsIer.
The Latter May Secure II, as the Aneri-
can society stn Needs $4,000 Of the
$4,000 Necessary to Buy the site of the
Buried city.
NEW York, Nov. 11.--A determined
effort VIII be made in this city in the
next few days to secure the $50, 600
needed to complete the sum Of $50, 900
with which the American Archaeology
cal institute can buy from the Greek
government the right to excavate on the
site Of the ancient city Of Delphi
Professor Charles Eliot Norton, Of
Harvard university, was the originator
Of the idea Of exploring Delphi, and two
years ago, after much trouble, Dr.,
W0ldstein, the chief representative OF
the institute in Greece, secured an option
for it, of the right to make the excavar
tioMs ON the payment Of $4,000.
The time allowed for the acceptance
of the offer has been twice extended, the
present date of the withdrawal of the
option being Nov, Is, Unless the money
Is forthcoming at that time, ii ID likely
that Americas chance 60 win the glory
OF important archaeological discoveries
at Delphi win be lost The French
government has long been anxious To
take up the work, and viii probably be
allowed TO do 50 If tho additional SEQ 900
cannot be raised
The New York branch Of the institute
met here Saturday aud heard the an
nouncement that 100000 had been
pledged. Now that America is SO near
achieving its end, the sentiment among
the members Of the institute ID that the
prize should not be allowed to slip
through their fingers. Active canvass
ing has been commenced to secure
pledges for the needed sum. IL is conf
IDENTIFY believed that twenty men can be
found in this city who viii give 81 700
each for so worthy an object.
Professor William r.. Ware, Of Co
lumba college, member of the insti-
tute, who only recently returned from
Europe, where he spent several months
in Athens, said Sunday ut would be
extely unfortunate if the plan fell
through at this stage of its progress,
Dephi is beyond doubt the most inn
poIant site Of antiquity which has not
Gei explored, and, ii would reflect the
greatest credit on this country il its citi-
zens carried on the great work.
The reason why the Greeks prefer
that we should make the excavations is
that the United States does not interfere
in Greek affairs as The big nations OF
Europe do Besides, they are still CRATE

DIED ON AN OPERATING TABLE.
A Beautiful Young Giri's Sndden Death
in Chicago Hospital.


in Chicago Hospital.
CHICAGO, Nov II. Friday afternoon
the death Of Marion c. daughter of
Darlington T. Jones, Of 6941 Yale street,
Englewood, H., occurred at the Pres
byterian hospital while undergoing a
surgical operation for the removal Of a
small mole ON her right cheek.
The case is an extremely pitiful one.
Marion was a beautiful girl despite the
fact that q small mole had made its APP
pearance on her right cheek. Tt was
this small defect which was primarily
the cause Of her death. Her parents
Were very anxious that their daughter
should appear wen iii society, and the
mole WIS u constant source of annoy
ance to them. Then, too, they feared
that it might develop into something
more serious.
After considerable deliberation it was
decided TO have The blemish removed by
a surgical operation.
Friday afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Jones
selected the Presbyterian hospital as the
institution for the operation to be per-
formed. III is said it was Dr. Charles
Parkes, member of the surgical staff of
the hospital, who piled the knife.
Marion was placed on the operating
table, and preparations We're made by
Dr Parlles for administering the usual
an@sthetic. A cloth was saturated
with chlorofoTm and applied to the
girls nostrils. So brave was she that
She offered to hold the cloth in place
while the surgeon was placing his in
strulnents in position in readiness for
the operation
Then, with her parents standing be-
side her, the young girl sank into a
sleep, from which she was never to
awake The mole was soon removed
and restoratives applied in order to
resusicitate the patient The effort re-
suited only in a convulsion, which
ended in death When DR.. Parkes was
forced to announce the sad fact Mr.. and
Mrs. Jones refused to believe it, But
when they finally realized the truth
their grief moved even the attendants,
who are accustomed to such scenes, to
tears.
The funeral occurred Sunday from
the Jones residence, the remains being
sent to Covington, O., for burial
Or. Parkes, when seen, had little to
say for publication, further than the
girl was given chloroform in the usual
manner, and instead OF reviving she
went into e0ilyuision and died.

Cranky Notions.

Cranky Notions.
CHICAGO. Nov. 11.--Gen. Nelson "A.
Miles, commander Of the department of
the Missouri, has just returned from
trip through Dakota. Montana and Me-
braska. When seen by reporter the
general talked entertainingly as to the
strange fanaticism, especially among
the Sioux and Cheyennes, both Of whom
he has recently seen.
He says many Of the Sioux and Chey-
enne3 now assert that they have already
seen the Messiah Among others, he
saw Old Percupine, prominent Chey-
enne chief, who, last winter, made a
trip with a large party OF braves 10 Wy
omirg and said he had been taken to
tho Messiah by some Bannock Indians
who came over the mountains to act as
guides.
~Old Porcupine, said the general,
reports that the Messiah il the white
mans Christ returned after 800 years
to visit the rel ;Esil. The Messiah is
white and wears his head mufifef so
that his face cannot be seen. His hands,
howcser, still bear cruel scars from the
wounds inflicted by the white men
centuries ago. These scars serve to re-
mind the Indian of his duty to the Mes
siah who wall bring all good things il he
is only faithful to his old traditions and
customs There il nothing particularly
new in the latest craze
The Indians are great dreamers.
They seldom if ever work and conse-
quently have plenty Of time to sit
around and pray and dance and fast.
This il all that they have been doing
thus far and | don't know that they
have done any different for the last fifty
years. do not anticipate any necessity
for my visiting the affected tribes again

WASHINGTON, Nov, ii Representa-
tive Bayne, Of Pennsylvania who helped
frame the Mckinley tariff bin as a
member of the ways and means conf
mittee, is in Washington He says that
ignorance and misrepresentation We're
great factors in the election
In an interview, Col Bayne said that
the cause of the Democratic victories
was the fact that this was an of year
The Federal election bill, he said, had
an effect secondary only to The "off
year" cause, while misrepresentation
about the new tariff helped to produce
unfavorable results in Republican dis
tricts.
There is no likelihood Of the Repub-
lican party undoing what it has done in
the way Of a consistent revision Of the
tariff simply because that revision has
been misunderstood. The bill win
stand so far as the present congress is
concerned, said Col. Bayne
" In the next congress the Democrats
will be tumbEng over each other with
free trade propositions. The senate,
with small Republican majority, will
be looked upon as a bulwark against
this sort Of legislation, yet il may not
answer the purpose in every instance.
The votes of certain western Republic
can senator's on the Mckinley bill makes
that fact clear.
II think that the greatest danger to
the present tariff act lies in suggestion
made bv Senator Vest. He Dr0poses
that the act be dislocated by the passage
of a number Of special bills, and not by
attempting a systematic revision in one
bill embracing all the schedules
For instance, bill could be passed
repeating the duties ON tin plate Then
another bill providing for the repeal Of
the binding twine duties Many of such
bills could be passed as it might be
thought expedient to send to the senate,
and each particular one would appeal to
some interest. If carried out il would
be a case Of breaking the bundle Of sticks
one stick at u time.

men throughout the country notifying them that
they would be visited by regulators il they dld

men wearing heavy masks rode up to the door
and demanded admittance. This was refused,
and while one member OF the gang held the
horses the others battered down the door with
lance, but he was knocked down and the asSall-
ants began kicking and pounding him while ne
lay at their mercy. The fourteen-year-oId son
OF Holland, Gene, was aroused by tne
struggle, and taking a shotgun from the wall,
he fired at the men who were beating his father.
One of the gang dropped dead and another at

him. The others then fed, and the wounded
man crawled out to the gate, where he lay until
