PAST THE MILLION MARK
sAVANNAH'S COTTON RECEIPTS
THIS YEAR 1,oo1,211 BALES.

The Market on a Boom and Prices Ad-
vancing-The Causes for the Upward
Movement-Th New Spanish Tariff
to Go Into Effect July Hurrying Ex-
ports in That Direction.
Savannah turned the Loco. 0O0-bale point
IN net receipts of cotton yesterday, two
months behind last year. The gross res
ceipts up to date are 1901, 211 bales. against
l, 104, $50 bales for the same time last year.
The market has asemi-boom on and prices
are advancing. There are several causes.
1t is alleged that there is large bull inter
est in this country whose operations, as well
as the adverse prospects for the coming crop,
are affecting prices.
The entire Red River valley is overlooked
and considerable cotton land covered til
water, which is already telling on the plant
ing interests in that direction seriously, as
by the time the water is drained of it will
be too late for replanting.
In other sections the progress and devel-
opment OF the crop are generally favorable,
although i'll Texas it is eighteen days later,
and the acreage planted is less.
The spot market for the past week has
been fairly active and price have been firm,
having advanced fully a half cent. The de-
mand has been stimulated from the Spanish
quarter and the bulk of the business has
been FOR export to Spain, caused by the
Abortion Of a new tariff in that country
which goes into effect July l. There are
two steamers to load here this month for
Barcelona, and are expected to sail in time
to reach Barcelona before the tariff goes
into operation.

TWO WAYS OF LOOKING AT 1T.
Republican and Democratic Views OIL
Bleine's Resignation.

Republican and Democratic Views on
Blaine's Resignation.
The resignation of Secretary Blaine was
received with different feeling by the DEM
oorats and republicans OF this section yes
terday and last night. The latter recog-
nized that it meant bitter strife at
Minneapolis and the engendering Of fac
tional feelings which would be carried
throughout the coming campaign to the
FERROUS detriment of the party's chances Of
success. The ardent Blaine men, however.
we're delighted.
1t is generally believed now that the
Georgia delegation will be divided between
Blaine and Harrison. Capt. Doyle has al
ways been a Blaine man. and there are
others In the state delegation who entertain
the same views.
Prominent democrats were pleased with
the news, because they saw In the dissen-
sions likely to ensue tue weakening of the
republicans power. II 1t should be Cleveland
against Blaine again they are confident that
the result will be the same as in 1884
Ardent Cleveland men insist that the nomi-
nation Of Blaine will decide the result of tue
Chicago convention in advance, and that
the campaign this year will then be but a
repetition OF that of eight years ago.
The MORNING NEWS will have a special
wire In the MORNING NEws building and
will post the bulletins of the Minneapolis
convention as they are received. The
resignation Of Mr.. Blaine has added in
terest TO the ton, and its proceed
ings will be closely watched.

A CoNFERaNoE ON TRAFFIC.
CLOSER Relations Between Savanna
and Kan sas City.

Closer Relations Between Savannah
and Kansas City.
Gen. George H. Nettleton, president and
general manager; Edward ]. Wasbburn,
traffic manager, aud John II. Sullivan,
Memphis, superintendent of the Kansas
City, Memphis and Birmingham railroad,
arrived in the city yesterday morning via
the Central in the presidents private car.
The object Of their visit is to arrange for
closer traffic relations between the Central
and the Kansas City, Memphis and Birm-
ingham. They spent the day In
conference with President Conner, Trafic
Manager Shellmau and Gen. Sorrel, man
ager of the Ocean Steamship Company,
discussing rates and facilities for transpor-
tation and handling of western produors.
The relations between the Central rail-
road and the Kansas City, Memphis and
birmingham have been gro wing closer
since the separation of the Central
and the Danvlle systems, and the present
visit OF President Nettleton Traffic Map
ager Washburn and Supt Sullivan is res
Rarded as cementing the friendly relations
already begun. Personally the officers of
the two systems are upon the most friendly
terms.
DRIVE OVER THE CITY.
After the conference in the morning a
| carriage drive was taken through the city
! and suburbs. Those composing the party
we're President Conner, Maj. Shellman, Gen.
Sorrel and Col. j. II. Estill of Savannah,
! and Gen. Nettleton, Mr.. Washburn and Mr.
! Sullivan of Kansas City. The route of
the drive included Thunderbolt, where
stop was made at the yacht club house.
The Kansas City party was seen at the
DE Soto last night and, though not very
| communicative, admitted that the natural
! relations between the Central and the sys-
] NnFNN ,N1.N a.
| and that 1t was their desire that both sys-
| TENS should profit by the connection. Gen.
| Nettleton said the Kansas City, Memphis
! and birmingham railroad authorities had
for some time advanced the idea that Sa-
! vannah was the natural deep water port
for Kansas City. and they hoped
its tultillment. He saw no reason, he said.
| why the grain and other products of Kansas
/ Clty's territory should not be shipped
| through Savannah instead Of through New
! Orleans and the northern ports
TO SPEND TODAY HERE.
The party will spend to-day in the city,
when Gen. Nettleton aud Supt. Sullivan
will eturn to Memphis.
Traffic Manager Washburn will accom-
| pany President Conner, Mai. Shellman and
Gen. Sorrel to New York on the
! Kansas City tomorrow on an important
! business trip.
Great advantages are expected to result
to Savannah by the close traffic arrange
ment between the Kansas City, Memphis
and Birmingham aud the Central. These
lines represent the shortest freight route be-
! tween the northwest and New York, and
they propose making q combined effort to
increase the business OF both lines. Gen.
Sorrel says the volume OF business going
north by the steamship lines is larger this
season than last. but the south-bound
freights are not 80 large. Hehopes to make
| up the deficiency by increasing the through
| business for the west aud northwest

change and the board of trade. protesting
against the removal OF the photographic
office from Savannah. have been forwarded
TO the photographer aud to Congressman
Lester. If there is any efficacy in resolu-
tions by the commercial bodies, and in the

The MORNING NEWS was the first to rep
resent to the public the danger of the re-

active interest in seeing that the proper steps
were taken to secure to the maritime inter-
ests OF Savannah its advantages.
Lieut. F. II. Sherman, at present in

elsewhere, has placed the matter properly

the steps that have been taken by the COM

TO HANG TWO AT A TIME.
SHERIFF ROMAN STUDYING HOW
1T CAN BE DONE.

Preparations for the Execution OF Gus
Williams and James Gay July "a
The GaIlows Room in the jail to be
Tested for the Double Hanging-A
Possibility of q Triple Hanging.
Although it is nearly seven weeks of
Sheriff Roman is already considering what
will be the best way to execute Gus WILL
Jams and James Gay, who have been SEN
fenced to hang on the same day.
One hanging in day is a pretty good
strain on the nerves of the prison officials,
and they regard with a feeling far from
pleasant the idea Of going through the same
experience twice in the course Of a few
hours.
As a rule negroes condemned TO death
spend considerable time in demonstrations
of a semi religious character. This serves
as a stimulus and prepares them to meet
death. 1t is considered doubtful whether.
after one man has been hanged, the spirits
of the other man can be kept up In this way.
Those who are under sentence of death, nut
whose execution is set for some distant day,
generally break down badly when they
hear the falling Of the trap
that has sent some other muir
derer 20 death. The effect on
almost Immediately would, Of course, be
still worse. In all probability he would
have to be dragged TO the moose.
Sheriff Roman is considering the matter
in the light of his past experiences. He
would prefer to drop both murderers at the
same moment. The presence Of q oompan-
Ion on the gallows would be mutually brace
ing to each of the victims. II this method
of disposiDg of Williams and Gay can be
adopted at will DO much better for each Of
them and certainly easier for those charged
with carrying out the sentence Of the court.
1t is doubtful if the death cell can be used
for that purpose. 1t was constructed for
the hanging Of one person at a time The
sheriff will probably make some tests soon.
and see whether it is possible to use it for
double execution with a certainty OF its
doing the work as successfully as 1t has In
the past single executions.
There is quite a strong feeling that, IL
either or all Of the other negroes yet TO be
tried for August Meyers murder are con-
victed, the same day. July %. should be set
for the execution. The banging
Of three or more murderers in day would,
it is held, have great effect on the law
in Chatham is swiftly and surely admins
tered.
II the wishes of these people should be re-
allied it would be expedient to erect
special gallows for the OCCASION The sheriff
does not regard this as in any wise probable
and is cou6uing his thoughts to the solution
Of the problem as to the Dest way to rid the
world Of Gus Williams and Jim Gay.

THE COMMITTEE ELECTIONS.
Two Districts Yet to Hear From-Shir-
If Romans Position.

( AWO OF VI 6G6T
If Romans Position.
The only report from the country dis
trict mass meetings yesterday was from
the Eighth district at Pooler. Neither the
Sixth nor Seventh districts have
been heard from. The vote al
Pooler gives Col Mercer one
more majorityIover Sheriff Roman, votes
being cast in the district for Col Mercer
and z for Mr.. Roman. Sheriff Roman was
one OF the most surprised men in the city
yesterday when he read In the MORNING
| NEWS that he had received the votes Of the
| First and Second districts for committee
| man at large against Col. Mercer.
II was not a candidate said the sheriff.
~ was never approached in tue matter, and
when / saw the announcement in the
MORNING NEWS the day before that the
First district had signifed its desire
looked upon the matter as joke
and didn't EXPECT it to go any further. l
didn't desire the honor, didn't seek it and
didn't want it.
Even had wanted to be a committee
man." continued Sheriff Roman, ~ never
would have allowed myself to be pitted
against Col Mercer, VINO is one OF my
warmest personal friends and a man | ad-
mire very much. Had it SO happened that
had been elected would have refused to
accept. l am glad the movement wasn't
successful. 1t wasn't the right thing for
the districts to do to go back on the ticket
which had been agreed upon in the caucus.
They should have supported it."
The democrats Of Pooler held their mass
meeting at the Odd Fellows hall. The at
tendance was very fair, considering the rain
prevented great many OF the members OF
the Pooler Campaign Club from being
present. During the day and evening it
rained go that at one time it seemed as
though the meeting would not be held.
The meeting was called to order by D. L.
jackson, who was elected temporary chair
man. A. J. Outterside was elected secre-
tary. After stating the object OF the meet
Christian were elected members Of the ex-
ecutive committee from the Eighth district
When the election of the commit
teemen at large was reached quite
a lengthy discussion ensued and
it was some time before the result Of the
ballot could be announced by the chair.
Objection was made to the names that were
given out by the clubs IN Savannah because
there was not a countryman on it. What
the residents in the Eighth district wanted
was a representative on the committee be-
side the military men, and that was the
reason s. H. Collins and William G. Lathrop
Of the Eighth district were voted on instead
Of Messrs. Roman, Mercer, Screven, Os-
borne and SchwarE. The sense of the meet
ing showed plainly that Poolerites want to
have a show in naming some of the uuty
committee, as there are large number OF
voters in their district Messrs. Christian
and Newton are well-known Poolerites, aud
they will see that their section goes solidlY
democratic.
The vote for committeeman at large was
as folloYs.
