THE SEAL FISHERY QUESTION.

Thomas Horny Cooper, owner Of the
Canadian schooner "W. T.. Sayward,"

At tbs same limo Sir John Thomp-

H COTTON CROP.

WASHINGTON, Nov 10.-The Novem-
Der returns to the Department of Agri-
culture indicate a very light cotton
crop with short staples, gathered gen
orally in good condition. Local esti
mates range from two 1fths to four
ffths of a full crop. Many make it
the worst crop since 1860. In a few
favorable locations a fair crop is
promised. On the Atlantic coast the
loss is attributed to alternating heavy
rains and drought. A cold and wet
spring was followed by long continued
dry weather, producing a large worm
and defective fruitage. The picking
In this region is well advanced and the
crop is partly marketed while a killing

duced the top crop.

ocean by the Wells City.
LONDON, Nov. 9.-The steamer Wells
City, at Bristol from New York, en-
countered terrific gales on the voyage.
The wind came from the southwest and
compelled her to lie to for twenty four
hours at a time for the safety of the
cattle.
The Wells City sighted the steamer
Catalan, from New Orleans for Liver
pool. in a disabled condition, as before
reported, on Oct. 81. in latitude 81 de-
grees north, longitude "a degrees west.
The Catalan had then been lying for
fifteen days entirely helpless in the
trough of the sea. The weather was
so b~oisterous that the Wells City was
unable to get alongside the Catalan. A
lifeboat was there launched from the
Wells City, and by it a tow cable $50
fathoms long was conveyed to the
Catalan, to the great risk of those en-
gagged in the hazardous undertaking.
The Wells City then started with
| the Catalan in tow. After two days
OF towing the hawser parted, and the
| Catalan again fell into the trough Of
the sea. To restore the tow line was
a work OF extreme danger, but the task
was finally accomplished. The seas
were so high that the Catalan's mast
heads were often invisible to the crew
of the Wells City. The Wells City
then started off again with the Catalan
in tow, and at length, after seven and
one half days of towing, they reached
Valencia Bay.
In the bay, however, the hawser
again broke and both vessels were
almost on the rocks before eommunica-
ton between them could be restored.
The Wells City practically sustained
no damage.
