FACTS ABOUT COTTON.

Showing Made by February Returns
to the Department. of Agriculture,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-The February
returns to the department of agriculture.
which relate to cotton, give the county esti-
mates of the crop compared with that of
last year, the proportion that has left the
plantation, the average date of the close of
picking, insect losses, etc. A consolidation
OF the returns of comparative crops makes
the following state per cents; Virginia, 80
per cent. North Carolina, rs; South Caro-
lima, rs; Georgia, "a; Florida, 60; Alabama,
IS; Mississippi, 90; Louisiana, 55; Texas,
"a; Arkansas, 5S; Tennessee, 66; general
average, 692. No allowance is made for
any underestimate of the crop or overesti-
mate of distribution.
THE CROP MARKETED,
The proportion of the crop received at
the ports, in the stocks OF interior towns, in
the hands of merchants, unreported and EN-
route from the plantations is thus stated
as reported by the county correspondents
Virginia, SO; North Carolina, IS; South
Carolina, 81; Georgia, SO; Florida, SO; Ala
bama, SO; Mississippi, 49, Louisiana, 80;
Texas, 81; Arkansas, 81; Tennessee, SO;
general average, S7.9.
The quality is fairly good as a rule,
although better on the Atlantic coast and
In Texas than In the interior. In the later
picking cotton was much discolored by
frost.
In most Of the states the average yield Of
lint is reported at 80 per cent. The average
dates of the close of picking are as follows:
Virginia, Nov. 80; North Carolina, Dec. 1 /;
South Carolina, Dec /; Georgia, Nov. 81 :;
Florida, Nov. 15; Alabama. Nov. 2S; Mis-
sissippi, Dec. 8; Louisiana, Deo 4; Texas,
Dec. 10; Arkansas, Dec 16; Tennessee,
Dec. S.
INSECT DEPREDATIONs.
The losses from insect depredations are
relatively small. No losses are reported
north Of Georgia ard the gulf states, ex-
cept in Arkansas. The boil worm did more
damage than the caterpillar, mainly in
Mississippi and In states west Of the river.
The caterpillar was especially injurious in
Alabama. A relatively large proportion of
seed has been sold TO oil mills on account Of
the small size Of the crop and the high price
Of oil in sympathy with the advance Of lard
The reported price varies according to the
accessibility Of the mills, fromI to 25 cents
per bushel. In some sections planters have
been induced to sell by liberal payment in
fertilizers.

FRANCES CULPRITS.
The Sentence Passed on Count de
Lesseps Considered Too Severe.


Lesseps Considered Too Severe.
PARIS, Feb. 0.-Ex-Miuister Baihaut,
Senator Beral, ex-Minlster and Deputy
Antonin Proust, Deputy Dugue de la
Faucennerie, ex-Deputy Gobron, Charles de
Lesseps, n. Marius Fontane, Henry Cottu
and N. Blondin were arraigned in the
Palais de Justice yesterday on charges Of
corruption in connection with the Panama
lottery bonds bill
The Figaro expresses a belief that tie
trial will take place in the assizes court OF
the Seine in the early part OF March.
Public opinion is substantially unanimous
to the effect that the judgment passed upon
Count Ferdinand do Lesseps went beyond
the requirements of justice. The news-
papers consider all the SEN
tences very severe. and especially
that of Ferdinand do Lesseps. The Figaro
demands the pardon of the man who has
been one OF the Rlories OF France. Henri
Cottu and Charles de Lesseps have de-
cidod to appeal from yesterdays Judgment.
The discontent caused by the dismissal in
the chamber of indictments of true
bills found for corruption against Deputy
Rouvier and Senators Grevy, Deves and
Renaulb has moved the parliamentary COM
mission of inquiry TO renewal Of its activity.
The commission now proposes to summon
aad examine all deputies who have been ac-
cused OF oorruptness, whether acquitted or
not, and to obtain Baron Reinach's list OF
1O4 men who were compromised by money
transactions, with Baron Reinach, NJ. Arton
or DIR. Herz. The commission purposes
also TO apply to the chamber for additional
powers, which, IL granted will increase
greatly the scope and thoroughness of the
investigation.
Should the court Of cessation reject the
appeal of Ferdinand de Lesseps against the
decision OF the court of appeal, his name
will be stricken from the lists of the insti-

House. But now that the latter has been
shelved and the appropriation bills are get
ting out OF the way, the anti-options bill
Will be brought 10 the front. IL is probable
that Mr. Hatch will make move in behalf
of his pet measure some time next week
AS coon as the appropriation bills are out of
the way the House will have some
time on It's hands. There are a number
of requests for special orders pressing on
the rules committee. Mr. Hatch is after a
special order for the agricultural commit
tee. He wants three days, which is more
time than he is likely to get at this stage of
the session. Mr.. Hatch wants to pass the
pure food and other bills 10 addition to the
anh-options bill. When he gets special
order an effort will be made TO press the anti
options bill under it. There are indications
that MIR. Hatch is getting into fashion in
parliamentary circles and will endeavor to
have closure put on as part of the special
order reported to the House by the rules
committee. Whether or not he will be
more successful than the auti-silver men
remains to be seen, Dut his bill on q test
vote is stronger than either side to the silver
question, and its friends may be willing to
take closure on 1t regardless OF how they
voted on closure as applied to other
measures.
