CoTT0T CROP OF TRxAs.
It is Variously Estimated at From
100000 to 1,85O,OOO Bales

A5OOOIOOO TO lISOO,OOO Bales.
CHARLESTON, s. C.. Dec. A special to
the Nel0s and Courier from Houston
Tex. says: "In East, South and Central
Texas, the cotton crop is nearly all har-
vested, there being but little top crop. In
the Colorado river bottom plantations, there
is still some cotton to pick, but not 10 per
cent. OF what was raised in those counties.
A great many statisticians claim that the
acreage In cotton in Texas was reduced 20
per cent. this year as compared with 1891.
Recognized authorities in cotton matters
place the Texas crop of 1S92-'93 at l ZOO, 900
TO !, $50, 900 bales, which is a material fall
ing off. Planters claim that by reason of
drought and worms the crop was cut down
from 20 70 40 per cent. Now, il the acreage
was reduced to 90 per cent. and the crop
damaged TO the extent represented by the
planters, it Is readily seen that this years
crop would be only about 100000 bales.
The Houston and Texas Central people fig
ure the crop this year at about l 500, 900
bales, and estimate that 81 per cent. Of IL
has been removed. Cotton men say that at
least S5 per cent. Of the crop has been gath
cred and housed, and that 70 per cent. of
the entire crop has already left the hands of
the producers

NEW YoRH, Dec. 4.-Henry Downing,
ex-oonsul TO ST. Paul de Loanda under
President Cleveland, formerly editor Of the
Message, and one of the most prominent
colored men in New York and Brooklyn, is
In trouble concerning the death Of Miss
Mary Addie Creed, q young mulatto girl of
Brooklyn. A young colored physician who
had attended the Creed girl during an earlier
illness, but who declined to do 30 after the
discovery that she was about TO become a
mother, is authority for the statement that
Downing admitted his responsibility for it
TO him. The ex. consul paid the DOCTORS and
undertaker's bills after the girls death. The
health board will probably make an in
vestigation.

CONGRESS MEETS TO-DAY
THE MESSAGE WON'T BE SENT IN
UNTIL MORROW.

The Anti-options Bill the First Measure
to Come Before the Senate-Senator
Sherman May Attempt to Displace
1t With Bill to Repeal the silver
Law of 1890.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The two houses
of the Fifty-seoond congress will meet to-
morrow noon in second session. After as
certaining that quorum is present in each
branch, resolutions will be passed authoriZ-
ing the appointment of committees to call
upon the President and inform him that
congress is organized aud ready TO proceed
to business The committees will be iu-
formed, and so report, that the President
will shortly communicate with congress in
writing. The message ia expected to reach
the capitol about l o'clock Tuesday after
noon. While the committee are executing
the commission intrusted tothem, the Sem
ate and House will probably take a recess;
unless the associates of those congressman
who nave died since the adjournment OF
the first session, announce their decease to
the survivors, when the committees report
on adjournment will be in order.
1t is the general impression that the com-
ing session will add but little TO the legisla-
tive records of the country except in the
matter of the appropriations bills. The first
order OF business on the calendar of the
Senate is the anti-option bill, and it Is the
purpose of its friends to maintain it in its
favored position until disposed of by vote.
Senator Washburn, who has charge of the
campaign iu favor of the bill. says the re-
cent rise in cotton has not tended to ALLEVIATE
his support from the measure, although he
admits that he was afraid it might do so.
Senator Washburn estimates the number
OF friends Of the bill at two to one TO its
opponents, and says no other bill can be
taken up in its place. But lively contest
on this point may be expected should Mr..
Sherman undertake to antagonize the meas
ure with the bill to repeal the silver law of
1890, which he has intimated he viii intro
duce. The proposition covered by this bill
is OF such general interest, it is believed by
some, that its consideration could be
secured even against the anti-options bill.
None Of the appropriation bills are ex-
pected in the Senate before the holidays.
There is nothing Of special importance on
the House calendar and no appropriation
bills are expected to make their appearance
the first week of the session.
Efforts will be made to push several bills
that attracted attention last session, re-
lating TO the revenue. Mr.. Scott Of Illinois
has given notice through the press Of his
intention to urge his bill for the repeal Of
sugar bounty. But the first week will prob
ably not show any measure further along
on the calendar than 1t now is.
