BANKRUPT COMPETITION.

1t is q familiar principle of rail-
road management that the deadli-
est competition is that Of a bank
rupt road which has no interest to
pay and may take business for
what it can get. 1t is o familiar
fact in trade that the most fatal
competition is that Of bankrupts
whose goods are sold under the
hammer or by peremptory action
Of a receiver. Wheat growers of
the United States have been sub
jected to just this kind Of compe-
tition for the last year or SO in the
markets Of the world. The great
wheat growing countries of Russia,
Egypt, India, Australia and Argen-
tine have been practically bank
rupt through famine, mismanage-
ment Of finances or speculation,
and have been obliged to throw
vast quantities of wheat upon the
market for whatever it would
bring. This, more than any other
cause, has reduced the price and
shut the United States, which can
afford to hold part Of its wheat for
better prices, out Of the London
market.
Some interesting facts bearing
upon this conclusion are brought
out by the New York Post. Dur
ing the month of May Great
Britain's total imports were larger
by nearly 100000 bushels than
in May 1898. Yet its imports
from this country decreased $780,.
900 bushels. This difference was
made up, as it was in the proceed
ing months, by a heavy increase
over last year in the shipments
from Russia, Australia and thu
Argentine republic. From tht
Argentine republic England re
ceived in May 100000 bushels
more than last year, a gain Of Al
per cent from Russia, 1,680,0N
more, an increase Of 200 per cent
from Australia, 100000 more, al
increase Of 40 per cent. In mos
respects, che record of May wal
similar to that Of the four months
proceeding. The principal chang
in the situation was thu
larger increase in Russia's wheat
exports during May, and the mucl
smaller increase in the Soutl
American movement. For thi
five completed months, England'i
receipts Of wheat from Russia wer,
only double last years record; il
May three times as much wa
taken as in 1898. Nearly twice a
much wheat came in the first fiv,
months from Argentine republic a
came a year ago; in May the in
crease over 1893 was less than one
half. But the decrease in las
months shipments from this coun-
try fell not far below the season
average.

OURTHsAT TTALLADEGA SPRINGS.

THE HON. H. H. BROWN ON HIS METAL.
 BREACHES THE TRUE OLD DEMOCRATIC
 DOCTRINE.
 TALLADEGA SPRINGS, July 4.-[Special Correspondence. l-At the lowest cacula- tion, at least 500 of the old and tried citi- zens assembled at Talladega Springs on this glorious Fourth of July to hold their their annual picnic. An invitation was sent 10 Hon. H. H. Brown of Birmingham to deliver the oration of the day. At Il o'clock the vast crowd gathered under the large and beautiful arbor, prepared for the occasion. Music of the most stirring character was furnished by the Talladega string band. The speaker was introduced and for two hours held the closest atten- tion.
 During that time many Kolb men came forward to listen more clearly to the re- marks made by the disting guished speaker and to the Kolb- Hoar expose, which he so eloquently and plainly demonstrated to o to pps s6d old @as sad ared mea of Alabama to return to the old party which had stood through storm and oppression. His remarks upon the genial Reuben were kind, and he asked if there is Kolb man present let him tell me where Kolb gets his money to carry on his campaign. will tell him where it comes from. It comes from Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, south hater. Senator Lodge, Senator Hale, all contribute to this fund to disrupt Ithe solid south, break our ranks and make us subservient to the radical rule which carries ruin to every southern home. His explanation of the tariff and silver bill, of Colohel Oates' position was so plain en- tire satisfaction seemed to pervade the au, dience. His remarks on the educational bill so often perverted by the Kolbites, was explained to the satisfaction ot all present. Many kolb men came up and said, "Colo- nel Brown, this is the first time we have heard this subject so fairly and plainly discussed and from this time on you can count this whole section for Oates.

to him the credit is due for the data from which it is possible to deduce the causes of this soul-harrowing dark day. Mir. Williams professed himself unable to offer any solution, but this was prob ably owing to the lack of knowledge of the physical interior of this great country and it's sometimes peculiar re- 1ationship to current meteorology. ag All was black as primeval night when chaos ruled the world and sun . and stars were as inliy spots in the heavens.
 And now we come to the key that hnloclks the mental situation and it be- E. comes clear what it was tlf7,t stood in } the way of an understanding of this mystery. Innumerable were the gro- - tesque and irrational hypotheses that were advanced from which their advo- cates endeavored to find the solution of this extraordinary occurrence.
 An eclipse of the sun was claimed, but as the moon was near it's full" and probably one hundred and eighty de- grees out of solar line from the earth, such condition was physically impos- sible. A transit of Venus or some other celestial body across the suns disc had advocates. Men of grave demeanor contended that star had caught fire and started a confagration of the heavens, or the sun had expired, hence the residuum of smoke and ashes
 There had been immense land fires, whero there was no one to report, cov- ering perhaps many hundreds if not thousands of square miles, probably famed by brisk gales, the vapor and sooty substances taken up by ascend ing currents from the heated surface and loaded on favoring breezes to be waited over the land of tho pilgrims and, as it chanced, to be air-dammed with the results narrated. This con- tinued until the barriergave way, when the vapor soon dispersed
 The great middle and western states have time and again had this smoki- ness, which no one now thinks of re- garding as supernatural. The only un- usual feature of this occasion was the unusual combination of conditions
 This, in brief, is the explanation of the wonderful dark day.

 MoNBoEvILLE, July 3.-[Spscial Cor respondeIcs l-Capt. Joseph r. John son today addressed one ofthe largest assemblages of people tha thas ever gathered here to listen to a political speech. For about three hours he engaged the attention of the crowd, who gave the speaker repeated applause. Many kulb men were present, who expressed them- selves highly pleased and edified, and some saying they would follow Kolb no longer. Captain Johnston's speech has been of great benefit here. He has added to his already many friends. The democratic outlook is more encouraging than ever, and Monroe may be counted as giving an ip- creased democratic ajority next ugust.

A MEMORABLE DAY.
The Earth Enveloped in @ Mys-
 terious Darkness.
Stages and Scientists Alike at Fault for an Explanation of the Phenomenon Which Filled the People
 with Terror.

The most memorable phenome non of the heavens in modern times was that day of remarkable darkness over New England May 10, 17s1. That day, says writer in the Chicago Times, made more profound impression, has been more written and talked about, than all the auroras, comets and meteoric showers within the last five centuries. The great astronomer Herschel placed it in the domain of the uneXplainable. So pronounced was the darkness that settled down over the earth that fowls went to their roosts, horses and cattle showed distress, dogs whined, and thousands of persons anticipated the dawn of doom The great colonial struggle for American independence was still in progress, the federal union was not yet established; there was that chaotic state that generally pre- cedes great changes, and there was considerable rancor in the minds of the people.
 Patriot and royalist each regarded the ominous sky and the threatening gloom as the evidence of Heavens dis pleasure against the other, and the general conclusion was that the im- pending mystery would culminate in the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah. The ignorant gave way to all sorts of gro tesque conjectures, and the few pro- founder minds were unable to advance any rational explanation of the very unusual occurrence.
 The legislature of Connecticut was in session on this ill-omened day, and most of the members made no secret of their belief that now had come the great day foretold in the apocalyptic vision. A member got up and pro- posed adjournment. The matter being open for discussion legislator named Davenport arose and said:
 "NIr. Speaker, it is either the day of judgment or it is not. If it is not there is no need of adjournment; if it is, de- sire to be found doing my duty. Let candles be brought and let business continue"
 But the motion to adjourn was deci- sivcly carried, and the lawmakers who fashioned the laws for the linen of steady habits" went forth from their chamber to gaze at the weird and soa- Der sky.
 It was Friday and the intensity be- gan soon after ten o'clock a. m. and continued till past the middle of the following night. The wind was from tho southwest, and the darkness seemed to come with it from that direction. It soon became too dark to read common print readily, and candles were lighted in order to attend to household duties. After time the breeze subgided; dead calm followed and added to the solcmnity. The darkness was all over New England, westward as far as AL bany, N. Y., southward along the coast of Maryland, South Carolina and Georgia, and northward as far as any communication was had with any set dement's.
 Nothing was known beyond these boundaries, but there is reason to be- lievo that much greater area was in- volved.
 Prof Williams, of Harvard college, was indcfatigable in observing. collect ing and recording reports of the condi- .tiana attending this phenomenon. and

The Tartars are supposed to have, as nation, the most powerful voices in the world. The Germans, according to the London Lancet, possess the lowest voices of any civilized people. The voices of both Japanese and Chinese are of very low order and feeble com pass, and are probably weaker than any other nation. Taken as whole Euro pcans have stronger, clearer and better voices than the inhabitants of the oth- CT continents
