An Unknown steamer Run Down.

RosToN. Oct. Ii An unknown steam
er was run down and sunk in Boston
harbor last night and many persons
who were on board were drowned, the
vessel sinking so rapidly that it was
impossible to rescue them.
The accident was caused by the ina
bility of the officers of the respective
craft to see any distance ahead because
of a heavy fog which hangs over the
harbor and makes the movement of
vessels an extremely hazardous under
taking.
Up TO a late hour it had been impos-
sible even to learn the name Of the
boat which sank the nl-fated steamer.

The Worlds Fair.

The official figures of paid admiss-
ions to the Fair up to Monday, the
closing day, are; 21,469,46l' Adding
the number admitted on passes, the
total is swelled to 27539,041.
1t is considered by Exposition sta
tisticians that these figures beat the
record made at Paris, all things con-
sidered. Paris showed a total Of
2s,149, 1858, but they had practically no
free admissions, while here, over Six
million were issued,
Nobody who had business of any
kind on the grounds was required to
pay The exhibitors held monthly
passes and so did all their employees.
The receipts of this Exposition laid
Paris away in the shade. The total
receipts of the Paris Exposition were
$s,9OO,OO0. The returns are not all
in yet for the Worlds Columbian Ey-
position, as the amount of salvage,
etc, Is to be added, but the receipts
will not fall short of $14,000,000.
Altogether the Fair is considered a
magnificent success and overshadows
all previous Exposition efforts, of the
World. The treasury contains a cash
balance of $2,5OO,OOO, with consider

Settles Nothing.

The bare repeal of the silver pur-
chase act will settle nothing. 1t is in
no sense solution of the silver prob
lem. 1t leaves the whole currency
question open for future settlement.
The $5O0,OOO,000 of silver now in cir
culation and in the treasury must be
provided for and the future use of
silver must be determined.
Let us hope that the above view, as
taken by the New York Press, is the
correct one, and that the passage by
our national Congress of the bill pro-
viding for unconditional repeal will
not have the effect of influencing fu-
ture legislation against the white
metal. But there are few indeed
who will take so optimistic a view of
the future restoration of this import
ant element of national finance. There
is, however, this consolation, that
there vet remains fighting chance,
which, had the so-called compromise
measure been permanently effected,
would have been almost wholly de-
stroyed.

A SACRED MISSION.

Miss Fannie Scott, Ex-Manager of
the Arkansas State building, at the
Worlds Fair, who has endeared her
self to SO many Southern people and
to the citizens of Arkansas in partic-
ular during the fair, will not remain
inactive when she returns to her ma

missioned by the Ex-Confederate's
Association of Chicago, which is
Camp 8,United Confederate Veterans,
to solicit subscriptions for the monu-
ment fund, the monument to be erect
ed in Jackson Park.
The authority given to Miss Fannie
Scott is signed by Col, r. Lee France,
secretary of the ex-Confederate's AS
sociation of Chicago, and inspector on
staff of Gen. John Z. Underwood,
commander-in-chief Department of
the Northwest United Confederate
Veterans. In accepting the generous
services of Miss Scott Col. France
wished that there were more such

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
Frosts Have Damaged the Cotton
Crop in Arkansas, Texas
and Mississippi.

According to the crop bulletin Just
issued from the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, the month just
past was warmer than usual in Cen
trail and Eastern Texas and from the
upper Mississippi and lower Missouri
valleys eastward TO the New England
and Middle Atlantic coasts Over the
States of Mississippi, Arkansas, Ala
bama, and from the upper Missouri
valley to the North Pacific coast the
average daily temperature for the
month was generally from three to
four degrees below the normal. The
limit of freezing weather to the west
ward of the Mississippi had not ex-
tended southwark of Northern Arkan-
sas, but the eastward has reached Cen
trail Missouri, and up to the close OF
the month had not reaceed the ATTAIN
tic coast southwark of Maine, although
freezing temperature had occurred
over the central of the Middle Allan
tic States, and as far southwark as
Western North Carolina.
In Texas the general absence Of
rain was very favorable for cotton
picking, which was nearing compile
ton in some sections as early as Octo-
Der 20, the reports generally indicat-
ing that picking will be completed in
that State this year earlier than usual.
In Arkansas, however, the cotton
crop will not be completely secured
before November Is and possibly not
before December |.
The frosts during the middle of The
month caused some damage to cotton
in Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi and
Western Tennessee, but the reports
indicate that the injury was slight.

BRITAIN's REPRESENTATIVE.

A late telegram from Washington,
d. c., says: The long files of people
who stood in line for hours at the
doors of the Senate galleries yester-
day bore testimony to the great inter-
est which the public takes in all i'm
portant questions. The Senate gal
leries will hold about 1900 people, and
first and last not less than 2000 man
aged to get in by waiting their turn.
The rows reserved for the President
and Vice President were occupied not
by members of their families, but by
the general public. In the diplomatic
gallery were several members of the
corps, but most of its occupants were
members of the families of Senators
who could not find seats elsewhere.
One of the most interested listeners
to the closing hours was Mr. Morton
Frewon, the leading bimetallist OF
England. He sat in one of the gal
leries in company with Gen. A. d..
Warner, of Ohio, president of the BIZ
metallic League, and the latter point
ed out some Of the more notable of
the silver and anti silver leaders to
his friend. Of the former, however,
Mr.. Frewen has an extensive acquain-
tance in person as well as well as by
correspondence. Mr.. Frewen does
not think the cause Of bimetallists by
any means hopeless but on the con-
trary believes that the attention
which has been drawn to the subject
by the discussion in the Senate will
serve to force the question to the
front the world over. He has no
doubt that the very interests which
are now clamoring loudest for repeal
will be forced by business exigencies
to come to the support of silver coin
age in few years He has a high
admiration for the way the silver side
of the question has been presented i'll
the Senate, and regards Senator Jones
of Nevada as one of the greatest au-
thorities on finance III the world; one
of the results of his visit to America
at this time may be the formation of
an international association in the in
terest of silver.
