JACK FROST

Lays His Icy hand on the Cotton Belt and
Kills Vegetation,
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 16.-The frost
yesterday morning extended over
almost the entire cotton belt of the
country, says Signal Observer Keek.
ham The temperature fell in North
ern Louisiana to 40 degrees, which
would cause frost in nearly all parishes
except those in the southern portion OF
the state. There were frost falls In
central portions of the Southern states
and at Meridian, Miss, and at Fort
Smith, Ark, sufficient to kill vegeta-
tion. The following interior specials
to morning papers have been received
from the New Orleans section:
Grenada Miss.-A killing frost fell
here last night. Conservative esti-
mates place the cotton crop about 25
per cent below an average. Cotton Is
being marketed freely. Daily receipts
here average about 100 bales.
Durant, Miss, Oct. 16.-A killing
frost here last night. Another looked
for Monday night.
Vicksburg, Miss, Oct. 18.-Themper-
ature here this morning was As degrees
and still lower in the country, where
frost occurred in low places, killing
growing cotton.
Monroe, La, Oct. 16.-Reports say
35 degrees, and Madison parish plant
ers say cotton was killed.
Greenville. Miss, Oct. 16.-The first
frost of the season fell here this morn
ing, killing all tender vegetation and
doing considerable damage to cotton.
Canton. Miss, Oct. 16.-The cold
wave that struck this section on the
18th resulted this morning in real
white frost. Thin spots of ice were
also seen In shady places. Considera-
BILE damage will result to late cotton,
as a great deal is still unmatured.
Greenwood. Miss, Oct. l6.-This sec
ton was visited with very heavy
frost Sunday night killing all vegeta-
ton. Another heavy frost is looked
for Monday night.
Meridian, Miss, Oct. 16 Probably
one OF the heaviest frosts that ever fell
in this section of the country was the
one of Sunday night. 1t was destruc-
tive to young and tender plants, but
older crops were not materially dam
aged. This was the first frost OF the
season and the visitation was earlier
than ever before.

When Senator Voorhees, saw the
predicament he was placed in he at
tempted to withdraw the motion upon
which Senator Dubois called for the
ayes and nays, but this required unan-
imous consent, and this Senator Teller
refused to give.
Finally at $40 a voting quorum was
obtained and Senator PETER continued
his speech. At 10 o'clock Senator
PETER, without concluding his speech.
yielded to Senator Voorhees, who asked
that the senate adjourn. Motion
agreed to.
HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The house
this afternoon passed the McCreary
bill with an amendment offered by
Messrs. Geary and Caminetti by vote
of l67 to 8. The bill as passed extends
the provisions of the Geary law SIX
months, defines Chinese laborers and
Chinese merchants, makes mandatory
Photographic Identification, requires
marshals to carry out orders for deporr,,
tation, failing Cinnamon without ball
pending execution of writs, and eX-
cludes Cinnamon convicted of felony
from permission to register. 1t is de-
clared that the bill as passed is perfect
iy satisfactory to the coast, and if en-
forced at the expiration of the time
limit will settle the Chinese problem.
Those who depart will not be able to
transfer registration certificates and
in the course of time all will disappear
from these shores. The administra'
tion is also satisfied with the bill, so
Chairman McCreary of the foreign al
fairs committee AYERS.
After the disposion of the Chinese
bill, the bill to prevent officers and dl-
rectors of national banks from borrow
ing from their banks without written
permission of a majority of the .direc'
tors occupied the time of the house
until adjournment at 5 o'clock.

THE FEMALES QUARREL.

Mrs. Lease and Mrs. Johns, the Kansas Pol
iticians, at Loggerheads.
TOPEKA, Oct. 16.-The woman sufra.
gists of Kansas are not working to-
gether in peace, love and unity. Dis
sensions and jealousies have arisen in
their ranks and there is prospect of
division on party lines. The trouble
began with Mrs. Laura Fl. Johns and
Mrs. Lease. Mrs. Johns is Republi-
can and Mrs. Lease is Populist. Mrs.
Lease declined to speak at Mrs. Johns
meeting and that led to an inter
change of fiery letters just made pub
lie in which much impolite language
is used. The trouble now threatens to
spread from the leaders to the rank
and file, in which event the cause of
the suffragists is sure to suffer.

CLEVELAND WILL NOT GO.
1t seems now certain that the presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland will not visit
the Worlds fair before its close as it
was hoped they would. A few days
ago President Higginbotham of the
exposition company wrote letter TO
the president cordially and earnestly
urging him and Mrs. Cleveland to at
tend. but the president in letter sent
to Mr.. Higginbotham Saturday an
nounced that he was unable to leave
the city at this time.
BANKERS CONGRESS.
Hon. James H. Eckles. comptroller
of the currency, has left the city for
Chicago to attend the meetings of the
bankers congress during the week.
VOORHEES, Ratified.
There will probably be no more
night sessions in the senate while the
repeal bill is pending. The silver sena-
tors clogged the wheels SO effectually
for two hours tonight and would prob
ably have continued to do so but for
the understanding brought about by
the ENHANCEMENT which was inaugu-
rated between the opposing forces to
check filibustering on promise from
some of the leaders of the repeal side
to attempt to so arrange matters as to
not make another effort to secure
night sessions. This agreement, while
not perfected, had the effect of causing
the silver men to cease their calls for a
quorum and permitting Senator PETER
to continue his remarks without inter-
ruption from the call bell. If this ar
rangement is completed as now seems
probable there will be no more night
sessions

Vague Law. Worry Oregon omci.,..

SALEM. May 2-ISpecial. Fish and
Game Protector Mcclure, appointed re-
Gently by Gov. Pennoyer under the new
law passed by the late Legislature, has as
yet drawn no salary as such, and will not
until the secretary of state can obtain an
opinion on the law from the attorney gem
eral. The bill creating this Office passed
properly and became a law, but there
was no appropriation with it. The ap-
preparation supposed to be for this
purpose was made under another law,
and is payable to the state board of
fish commissioners. which board the leeis-
lature obliterated. 1t is thought the funds
intended for this board can be used for the
purpose of the new law. There is also a
disagreement as to the state food and
dairy commissioners. The legislature
elected Holman. while the governor ap-
pointed Luce. and the latter is acting. but
both have salary bills in the hands Of the
secretary of state. This matter also re-
quires an opinion from the attorney gen.
eral, and may so to the supreme court.

Whstcom's ex-City Marshal Said to Have
Been Found in California.
WHArcoN. May Especial. IA tele-
gram received here today says that w. 8.
Parker, e1-city marshal. who stole over
$ll. 600 of the city's funds and decampcd
on Thanksgiving day. 1891, is in the Gus
tody of the sheriff at Ukiah, Cal. The
telegram came yesterday asking if he was
still wanted, and . definite reply was de-
ferred until today. A dispatch stating
that the arrest had been made came after
. secret meeting of the council this after
noon had adjourned.
The offer of q reward Of 81. 600 for Park
er's apprehension still stands, but as the
council has been advised that there was
no authority for making the offer, it is
doubtful if the reward would be paid if Par
ker was delivered. The council recently
repudiated an offer of a reward
of $500 or the arrest and con-
viction of Biles, who was guilty Of
arson. The authorities here do not believe
the right man has been secured. Persons
who claim to know say he is in South
America. The city brought suit against
his bondsmen. but failed to get Judgment.

CAPT. WILTSE'S HEART BROKE
When the Starry Banner Was Hauled
Down mt Honolulu.

Down Mt Honolulu.
WAsHINsToN CRY, May 2.-Yesterday
persons who passed by Lafayette Square
saw casket draped in an American flag,
borne by eight stalwart sailors of the
American navy. 1t was the body of the
late Capt. Wiltse. U. S. n, which had
been brought here for barial. Capt. Wiltse
recently died suddenly in New York, and
there is a pathetic story connected with
his death. Capt. Wiltse was in command
of the United States steamship Boston at
Honolulu when the recent revolution oc-
Cured, and a. the request of United States
Minister Stevens, landed a detachment of
marines and hoisted the stars and stripes
over Hawaii. His term of sea service ex-
pired soon after. and he returned to this
country. A gentleman who was one of
his most intimate friends and who was
talking with him short time before he
died, said:
Taking down the American flag at Honolulu
broke Capt Wiltse's heart, and brought on the
third attack OF aporlexy, causing his death
What makes you think so?

that flag, and had served nearly all his LIE
