there night before last. A committee
of inquiry will determine who is
answerable for the failure to carry out
instructions in regard to rioting given
by the ministers
The popular ferment arising from
the Aigues Mortes affair shows no
sign of subsiding, although today there
has been no rioting in the city. The
agitation is spreading in the provi-
dences. AT Miiazzo, Island of Sicily,
the mob last night attacked the
French consulate and smashed ever
window in the building. The escutch.
ion of France was torn down and an
attempt was made to burn it, but the
police recaptured it. There was also a
renewal of rioting at Genoa today.

THE COTTON CROP.
American Agriculturalist's Review Indicates
Crop Of Seven and Hall Millions,

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Following is
the summary of the American Agri-
culturist's annual review of the cotton
crop situation: The cotton crop will
harvested on fewer acres than last
year. AS large or larger breadth was
planted, but the inability of many
planters to borrow money enough to
work the crop, together with the
drouth, floods and worms, and the still
greater difficulty of getting money
for picking, combine to serious
ly curtail the production.
August indications point to a crop
not exceeding 100000 bales with IA
norable weather and very much less
that if Insects and climate continue
upfavorable. This means a crop about
the same as last year, and nearly
1900, 900 bales more than the crop of
1891. The American Agriculturist be-
lieves the present dullness in Ameri-
can cotton manufacturing only tempo
rary, for there is scarcity rather than
surplus of the staple and desirable
goods, and mills are already start
ing up to fill orders with every
prospect of being crowded to supply
the domestic demands for the ensuing
six months English mills cleaned up
the surplus during the great strike of
last year, and are now enjoying re-
markable prosperity,and are unable to
meet demands. This explains why
cotton demands prices current two
years ago at this date though the visi-
BILE supply is some 100000 bales more
now than then. With the short crop
the consumption will require more than
this excess with consequent advance

NEW YORK, Aug. ga conference
of delegates from the various trade
unions of New York to take action on
the existing condition of affairs in the
labor world and devise means for as
sisting the unemployed, etc. was held

Federation of Labor, made a speech

that civil justices refrain from evic-

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Weekly Report Of the Condition of Weather
and Crops by the Galveston Bureau.

and Crops by the Galveston Bureau.
Special to The Statesman.
GALVESTON, Aug. 22.-The weekly
weather and crop bulletin of the
Texas state weather service was is-
sued this evening for the week ending
Aug. Fl. 1t is as follows:
Rainfall-The weather has been
generally clear until the past as hours,
during which light scattered showers
have fallen in nearly all parts of the
state, The amounts have, however,
been small, except over the eastern
portion of the coast district and the
northern portion of the central part
of North Texas, where the amounts
have ranged from one inch to over
two inches. There are still portions
of the state where there has been little
or no rain for two months or
more These localities are in central
and Southwest Texas and while these
are small and few in numbers in Cen
trail Texas they are rather extensive in
Southwest Texas. Since the first of
the current year the rainfall has been
below the normal in all parts of the
state, except the eastern portion of the
coast district, where there is an
excess of about one inch. The defic-
iency ranges from 8 to inches and is
greatest over Southwest Texas and the
western portion of the coast district.
The greater part of the deficiency oc
Cured during the months of January
ard February, that is before the COM
mencement of the current growing
season.
Temperature-The temperature dur
ing the past week has averaged about
normal or slightly above. The high
est temperatures have prevailed over
Central and Southwest Texas. The
highest at the several stations has
ranged from 81 near the coast to lit
tie more than 100 at few stations in
the interior and the lowest has ranged
from 6S in the interior to 70 near the
coast.
CONDITION OF CROPS.
Cotton-There has been but little
change in the cotton crop during the
week, except in those sections where
drouth has been prevailing, the pros
poets have continued growing worse.
As whole, hwever, the pros
poets are for a very good
crop. Many sections state that
the prospects are as good as last year.
But as whole it is not believed the
crop will be anything like as good.
However, conditions from now on may
improve things materially. Cotton is
generally opening rapidly and picking
is progressing, except over the western
portion of North Texas and the North
western portion of Central Texas,
where picking will hardly commence
before the middle of September. The
outcome of the present crop
will depend a great deal on he
weather condition during lie
picking season and particularly
whether frost is early or late. An
early frost would result in great dam
age, as great portion of the crop in
northern portions Of the state was
planted late.
Other crops-Fall crops are being
planted over the northwestern portion
of the state, particularly millet and
sorghum for hay, and fall garuens.
The showers have continued to i'm
prove grass in most portions of the
state and the outlook for stock is gen
orally favorable.

KANSAS MINE TROUBLE.
Workers at Frontenac Protected by Large
Body Of Armed DEPUTIES,

PITTsBURd, Kan, Aug. 22.-Thirty
armed deputies made up from the best
citizens of Pittsburg, led by Under
Sheriff Adsit, went to Frontenac this
morning to protect the men who
signed contracts and wanted to 20 to
work for the Santa Fe Coal company.
Soon afterwards President Waters of
the Miners Union and about 400 men
marched out to the shaft to interrupt
the workinen, but were met by large
number of men with winchesters in
their hands and refused admittance
inside the line. Fifty men went down
into the shaft to work, but 175 who
were there through fear would not
enter the shaft: Present indications
are that while the strike may be con-
sidered practically ended, there is a
fair prospect for considerable annov-
ance and trouble ahead.

WHAT GROKER Is AETER.

WHAT GhOPEh 10 ARR
London cablegrams intimate that
the English financiers are waking up
to the true import of the silver quts-
tion in America. England had
thought it could stop free coinage of
silver in India and that the United
States would keep on and do for the
world its hard silver work. But the
very evident intention of congress to
1epeal the Sherman act has brought
England to her senses. 1t is now in
timated that the immediate result of
the unconditional repeal of the Sher-
man act will be that England will call
at once an international monetary
conference and will not, as
in the last conference, hang
back, but will urge an
immediate adjustment of the silver
question in accordance with an inter.
national ratio that will keep silver on
a par with gold. This is exactly what
Grover, our long-headed president, is
driving at and will surely accomplish
if congress will only properly assist
him. What a victory it would be for
the United States and Democracy and
what an infinite blessing for the bust.
