There Is Money in the South to Move
the Cotton Crop.
New YoRK Aug. l2.-Bradstreet's says
Owing to the inability of the banking
institutions of the south to advsnce
money on the cotton crop, crisis in the
cotton regions is imminent. 1t would
take $50, ,O0O, 900 to move the crop, which
is estimated at 6,000,0 900 bales. A large
part of the crop is raised by negro ten
ant farmers who rely on the owners to
advance the money for picking, ginning,
pressing and baling. This they are un-
able to do. In view OF this emergency,
the secretary of the treasury of the
United States has just made an arrange
ment by which, on deposit of currency
with the sub-treasury at New York, the
government will telegraph the sub
treasurer at New Orleans to pay q like
sum in silver dollars, which will go far
to relieve the stringency.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Aug. 12.-Inquiry
among bankers elicits the information
that banks will be abundantly able to
furnish money to move the cotton crop.
One quarter of the 500, 900, ,0U0 needed is
already in the hands of the farmers, and
as soon as crops begin to move, enough
cash will be forthcoming to complete
harvesting.
MOBILE, Ala, Aug. 12.-Bankers ridi-
cuie Brads.reet's report of probable
crisis in the cotton regions, owing to the
want of currency. When the time
comes they say all the necessary funds

HONOLULU, Aug. 3, per steamer via san
Francisco, Aug. 12.-Everything re-
mains quiet. though there have been
more absurd rumors Of Royalist plot,
to which the government has paid no
attention. The report of the minister
of finance shows that the expenditures
of the government for the six months
ending July 18th were $7S0,00O. These
expenses included a number OF bills
contracted under the monarchy. Con-
trary to the rumor that the people
would refuse to pay taxes, they are
coming in freely. Spreckels & Co. have
paid all their personal taxes and have
already returned schedules on real
property.
The Americans here are much pleased
at the change in Minister Blount, who,
since the sending of his report forward.
has dropped his exclusive habits and
mingles and talks freely with the Amer
leans. The impression now is that he is
favorable personally to annexation. but
that he has expressed no opinion in his
report, merely stating facts.

demand of the Japanese government
that planters pay $3.50 per head for
the fare of immigrants from the interior

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-In the su'
preme court of the District of Columbis
today suit was filed for $50, 900 for breach
OF promise against Representative
William G. P. Breckinridge of Ken
tucky, by Madeline q. Pollard. The
plaintiff charges that in April, 1884.
when she was IL years old, and student
at the Wesleyan female seminary at
Cincinnati, che was met by W. @. Z.
Breckinridgs, who made her acquaint-
ance on the plea of his knowing her
family, and that she was fattered by
his attentions. He got the permission
of the president for her to dine with
him, and by wiles and artifices and
protestations of affection subsequently,
took advantage of her youth and mex
perience. She AYERS that he got
her completely under his con-
troll. The allegations filed go at
great length into the relations
which existed between the plaintiff and
Breckenridge, as che charges, until re-
Gently. The birth of two children (who
died) and the premature birth of a third
child are alleged as the result of this in
timacy. She further alleges that after
the death OF the children she came to
Washington, and that after the death OF
his wife che was again In delicate con-
dition, and with protestations of love
and affection he induced her to continue
her relations with him, and promised to
marry her as soon as it would be proper
for him to do so. From time to time.
she alleges, the date for the marriage
was postponed, until on the 18th day OF
July, she AYERS, Breckinridge wrong
fully and unjustly married another
woman, Mrs. Wing of Louisville. He
had ackno wledged her az his wife in the
presence of others, and promised, in the
presence of witnesses, to marry her.
The plaintiff was for some time an
employee of departments here.
The announcement of her engage
ment to Breckenridge and the subse-
quent breaking off of the engagement,
and Breckinridge's marriage, created a
sensation in the capital.
Colonel Brecklnridge was absent all
day in Philadelphia witnessing the
launch of the cruiser Minneapolis. On
his return to the city this evening
friend informed him of the filing of the
suit, but it did not seem to worry him
bit. After dinner the deputy marshal
served the papers on the colonel, who
showed the papers to his wife and
neither appeared disturbed.
To an Associated Press representative
Colonel Breckinride said: II have not
had time to examine the papers in the
case. can only say at this time,
before have had chance to know the
extent of the allegations made, that l
hope my friends will believe that these
charges are the result of vindictiveness,
vexation and perhaps intention to black
mail, and ask that they suspend judg-
ment until a full hearing shall have
shown all that is in them. I do not care
to say anything further until have had
an opportunity to consult with attorneys
and thoroughly examine the allega-
tions." Y II

Tho Woldax Dam.

The editor Of the Gila Bend Arizonan
has visited the Peoria, or Wolfey dam,
and gives this description OF it,:
The dam is located between two
mountain spurs which give each wing a
solid rock abutment or terminus. Nature
could not have formed more perfect
spot for the construction of Fan impreg-
nable dam, and science supplied what
nature failed to do. The dam extends
for distance of 2200 feet, from bank to
bank. The east wing or spill-way makes
a beautiful curve, forming the segment
OF circle, and is 900 feet in length, be-
ing Joined in the stream to strong
crib, which adds greatly to the natural
strength of this portion of the dam.
This 800 feet OF spill-way is built of the
most durable pine, is simply impervious
to all assaults from sudden rise, and
can carry off with ease a volume
of water at least 10 feet in depth
over it's surface, thus relieving
the pressure on other portions of the
dam. The water, after fall of 10 feet,
strikes solidly constructed apron,
which prevents underwriting by eddies.
Joined on to the crib work from the west
is the stone embankment. some 1900 feet
in length. This is, to all appearances,
as firm and solid as the adjacent noun
tain, and for mouths has exhibited no
signs OF settling, but to further add to
its solidity and strength it will be raised
some six feet higher and otherwise
strengthened. 1t is protected in the rear
from reacting currents by an embark
ment of huge boulders, weighing from q
half 60 What will
another and very effective safeguard is
this: At the dam the water is 22OO feet
in width and 25 feet in depth and five
miles in length. Now this is all ''dead
water" or water with but slightly
perceptible current, and should rise
come down the Gila in the form Of q
great wave, as it sometimes does, it
would expend ita force in the dead
water before reaching the dam. Even
as it now stands, the dam is impervious
to any assaults from the river.
The head-gates are, inclosed in solid
masonry, and both they and the waste
gates have q substantial and business
There is now some seven feet of water
at the draw of the head-gates, and this
water is being gradually turned into the
canal in order to soak and smooth the
bottom and test the banks. Water will
reach Gila Bend through the canal in 10
or IL days; and If it will be any sstis-
faction to the scoffers and doubters, we
can assure them that there is now
enough water in the reservoir to fill the
canal for three months, even after sup
plying the lower canals with all the
water to which they are entitled. The
canal now covers 10000 acres, and will
doubtless be extended to take in some
20. 900 more.
