CHEERING REPORTS
The South in Better Condition Now
/ Than for Many Years.

The South In Better Condition Now
t Than for Many Years.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 4.-The Manufac.
turers' Record publishes six pages OF
special letters from leading bankers in
all parts of the south as to the financial
condition and prospects of general bust.
ness and farming interests. These re-.
ports uniformly showthat all business
end banking interests are on. solid
financial basis. Cotton planters, have
borrowed less advance money than, fol
many years, and hence the present crop
has less indebtedness against 1t than the
crops Of former years.
In all parts of the south, farmers are
reported as less in debt than for years,
many reports saying that their indebt-
edness is smaller than at any time since
the war, due in part to the enforced
economy on account of the monetary
stringency since last fall, and in part to
the large crops of the last few years.
The low price of cotton in the spring
caused the planters to pay more atten-
tion to raising their own food supplies,
and the south will probably be less de-
pendent on other sections for wheat
than ever before.
1t is estimated that the grain crops of
the south this year will aggregate nearly
100, ,000, 900 bushels more than in 1890,
and this, added to the large yields of
fruits and vegetables, will keep at home
at least $40, 900, 900 that last year went
north and west for food stuffs. This
will fully offset the low price of cotton,
and if cotton should advance by reason
of decrease in yield it would be clear
gain to southern farming interests. The
yield of sugar, rice and tobacco promises
to exceed the crops of 1890, and to add
largely to the general prosperity of the
south. A period of great activity in
solid, substantial development is uni
versally predicted.

"A MASONIC SENSATION.
Startling Statements Made by Mar
on Trial for Felony.


on Trial for Felony.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 4.-The trial Of
ex-Carrier o. A. Gardner in the United
States court for opening letters and abb
stracting money from them took most
remarkable and sensational turn yester-
day. Gardner was tried once before,
acquitted and indicted on new charge.
1t was the turn of the defense yesterday,
the government having rested. F. F.
Davis, Gardner's counsel, in his opening
charged that Gardner had been per-
suaded to confess his guilt by postal In
spector Gould, of Chicago, on the prom
ise that Gould, as fellow Mason,
would see that he was acquitted.
Gardner himself was then put on the
stand and told the story more in detail.
Gould, he said, had make known to him
the fact that both were Free Masons,
and urged him to confess on the promise
that his acquittal was assured. Gould,
he said, went further and declared that
had he known Gardner was a Mason
before his arrest he (Gould) would have
warned him. This testimony made a
big sensation, as Davis himself is a
Mason. In fact the judge, the, lawyers
on both sides, and most of the Jury on
the first trial were Masons.
Inspector Guy T. Gould testified that
when he told Gardner he was Free
Masonthe latter asked him if he could
not help him. He denied saying that
he would have warned Gardner before
his arrest if he had known Gardner was
o Mason. There was intense interest
over Gould's testimony.

CHILE'S RECOGNITION
Congressionalists Must Await Mr..
Egan's Report
BEFORE OPENING AN EMBASSY

Our Munster Will Represent Us in
Chile at Least Until the New Gov
ernment Is Formally Recognized.
Meantime He Will Probably Be
Snubbed by the Junta.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The Chilean
Congressional envoys in this city have
received the following cable dispatch
from Valparaiso:
General Baquedano has delivered up
the command. The re-establishment Of
the constitution and the laws has been
celebrated throughout all the land with
indescribable enthusiasm"
The dispatch is signed by Waldo Silva,
vice president of the senate, and Ramon
Barros Luco, speaker of the house.
These, with Commander Montt, of the
navy, compose the junta of the govern
ment.
Will Soon Be Recognized.
The assumption of government by the
junta of the Chilean Congressional
party will result in the recognition of
the new government by the United
States within period much shorter
than has been supposed. Until that
recognition is given, however, Mr.. Egan
will continue as minister to Chile, un-
less the demands of the Congressional
lists prove strong enough to -pblige Sec
retary Blaine to recall him. Following
diplomatic usage in parallel cases the
state department will not recognize the
new government until its claims and
availability for recognition have been
TnnnrtnH afnfi ixyn Of
the department-Mr. Egan in this in
stance-or until the new government
officially notifies this country of its for
nation, and asks that its minister bel
ceived at Washington. There is hardly
doubt that Minister Egan has been di-
rected by the state department to report
on the standing of the Congressionalist
government. This report will probably
be long, and Mr.. Egan will send it by
mail unless the department deems the
matter Of such immediate Importance
to resort to the telegraph. In this event
Mr.. Egan will probably send short
summary of his views by wire.
Will Probably Snub Egan.
But diplomacy is opposed to haste
and informality, SO that nothing can
be done until some formal report is re-
ceived. If, on the other hand, the new
government decides to renew negotia-
tions for recognition by appointing a
minister to this country to succeed the
Balmacedist envoy Lazcano, Mr.. Egan
will be the proper channel through
which this request should be sent to the
state department, but there is strong
reason for believing, from the express
ions of the Congressional ENJOYS in this
city, that MIR. Egan's offices in this case
will not be solicited, the new govern
ment preferring to deal directly with
Secretary Blaine.
