kGYPI's COTTON CROP.
The Limits OF Pitsroduction Very
Nearly Reached

The Limits of Pitsroduction Very
Nearly Re1ched.
FIR. JAG. Andres of New York has Just
issued statement giving interesting details
of the production of Egyptian cotton.
The 1SS9-'90 crop reached $3.50, 7S6 cantars.
OF about 125 pounds each, being with one
exception the largest yet gathered: the
previous best crop being 1854 III cantars
In 1SS4'S5.
This crop came as a welcome Irelief after
the series of bad seasons with which cult
vators have had TO contend during the last
few years. On account of the almost
unprecedently low Nile food and
the unfavorable weather which pre-
vailed during the growing season
lloo9-90 such result was hardly antici-
pated, and may be regarded as triumph for
the irrigation department whose unceasing
watchfulness and careful and systematic
distribution of the water supply have con-
verted what promised to be disastrous
season into a fairly prosperous one, for
although the crops of cereals, which are
produced in districts where the irrigation
system Is less extensive, were more or less a
failure, TINS was compensated for by the
larger yield Of cotton
comparison of the 1SS9-'90 cotton crop
with that of 1873 10, when similar critical
conuIIlous prevailed, Strlklngly illustrates
the progress made in the system of irriga-
ton, the total Weld in 1878 '79 only amount
ing to l.617, 749 cantars, as against 8, 28O, 7S6
in 1SS9-'90.
Mr.. Andres is of the opinion that the limits
OF cotton cultivation in Egypt have been
nearly reached. He says: lit seems doubt
full, however, that the cotton crops can in
crease much; the entire cultivated area of
the Delta is estimated at about 5000, 900
feddans acres, and of these 1000, 900 fed
dams are devoted to cotton Under the
most favorable circumstances future CROPS
cannot exceed 5000 cantars more than
any previous crop. The immense area
amounting to nearly half Of the Delta,
cultivated in Pharaonic and Roman
days, but neglected for the past
fifteen centuries, remains unaffected by the
barrage, for the simple reason that the sum-
mer supply of water for three months of
low Nile barely suffices for existing arels
The barrage system is capable of handling
very largely increased supply, but the
volume of water delivered must be in
creased by storage reservoirs, impounding
part of the Nile food, from 90, 000, 600
cubic meters per day 500 feet per secondl
to at least 50,000,000 cubic meters, before
larger crops can be expected
The consumption of Egyptian cotton in
the United States has doubled since 1885,
but is still small, the estimate for 1890 reach
ing no more than 1900 bales ESQ pounds
EACH. This cotton is used chiefly forthread
and fine hosiery. The European consumption
for the year 1889.'9O amounted to AS, $50
bales.

Penalty" before fair audience last night
Most people went to see what the piece was
like Few had any idea what it was and
were prepared for anything. The electro
cution act was a thing they all wanted TO
see.
The story Of the piece, TO quote critic,
is built on horrible dream. A young girl
Is engaged 70 be married. Before us COZ
summation the dream occurs, in which she
finds her husband drunken gambler. de
spends all her money, and finally demands
her diamonds, 10 be pawned. She refuses;
'scene" ensues; she faints; her husband

the jewels. At this moment the villain
of the play discovers him and demands MS
share Of the spoils, the husband refuses ana
a pistol is drawn In the struggle which
follows it is discharged the husband falls
dead: the villain escapes lust as the wiie
recoyers She sees her husband dead ana
is convinced she killed him. The reguIa-
ton policeman arrests her; court scene
follows the woman is convicted and SEN
fenced to death by electricity. The execu-
ton is about 70 taEe place tine victim Is Ia

bic mig ltmare. A genuine dynamo IS used
in the first act and aids in the realism OF the
scene.
Miss Wilson, the author Of the play and
the star, is young lady not yet 20 years
old She is daughter of Fred Wilson, who
is managing the company and a Eiece Of
Minstrel George Wilson. She is an attract
tive young lady. and if she could act as
well as she writes, she would be g success.
The great trouble with the company is
that it is weak. Ed Gallagher, an
Irish speciality actor and W. ID.
Stone who is well-known in Savannah from
his connection with the Ford Dramatic
Association, are its redeeming features.
The company will wind up to-day, and
will leave Monday for New York. Its
season has not been a very successful one,
and its members are already seeking new
engagements. A matinee and night per-
will be given to-day.

The object Of the association is to facili-
tate the interchange Of views and the COM
pilation Of Information about the most eff
Gent method by which railway lines may
be operated and 10 make recommendations
70 the companies. The convention appoints
committees on standard code Of tram rules,
car service, safety appliances, and other
matters, but the reports Of these commit
tees are simply recommendations, and the
convention does not take any action bind
ing upon the various roads, so that to an
outsider il looks as If very little was ac-
complished at Wednesdays meeting.
The organization has quietly brought
about many reforms. The committee on
the standard code Il train rnles has done
its work 30 thoroughly in the past that it
had nothing TO report except the rapid
adoption OF the code throughout the coun-
try. The committee on safety appliances
advised the adoption Of the standard form

Postmaster Joseph F. Doyle has received

qualification for s24O, 900, and which will
be completed in day or two and forwarded
TO Washington. AS soon as the bond is ac-

on, and he will take possession of the post
office on its arrival. In regard to changes,
the new postmaster said none would be de-

shall get the places. There is some talk of

The Ocean Steamship Company has re-

its convenient and commodious quarters in
the new building near by, where it will have

immense and rapidly-increasing business.
The city council finance committee have
not decided definitely what will be done,
but the city treasurer's office will doubtless
