ina OF the Governors going into camp
on The afternoon of the day before "Gov-
ernor's Day." So at about four O'Clock
this afternoon the First Regiment
marched down the hill and returned es-
cortlng the Governor and his staff. Gov.
Cleaves rode big bay horse and the
members of the staff, attired in their full
dress uniforms, were, of course, also
mounted AS the column climbed the
hill, their coming was made known by
the booming of the guns in salute to the
Governor. The Second Regiment was
drawn up in parade awaiting to receive
the Governor. The First Regiment
marched onto the field and faced to the
front, after which the Governor and his
staff rode along the lines. The reports
of the cannon made it lively for the
mounted officers and the prancing of
thler horses added good deal of life to
the scene. AS the Governor entered the
headquarters building, the State flag was
planted before it. This flag had been car
ried by a mounted man.
1t is a gorgeous affair of blue silk, bear
ing the State coat of arms in gold.
Tomorrow is Governors Day, proper,
when the commander-in-c chief reviews his
army. This is the principal spectacle of
the week for the civilians as well as the
military, and there will be great crowd
of spectators to see it. The zreyiew swill

A new. feature of the eyolutions today
was the participation of the signal corps
in the reception of the Governor. Mem
bers of the corps, with their signal flags
were at the Augusta House, other mem
bers were on a tall tower, from which
they could see the the party at the Au-
gusta House and also signal to the camp.
Thus the movements of the Governor and
his escort were promptly reported to the
waiting soldiers in the camp. These sig
nal corps troopers have one peculiar con-
trivance 1t looks like a big wooden
chest on stretcher. AS a matter of fact
it consists of two small chests with 500
yards of wire on a cylinder between them.
In the chests aress telegraphy Eand tele-
phone instruments. By placing one chest
on the ground and then carrying the 9th
er chest away on the "stretcher'' unreel-

ication can be easily established between
distant points on the field of battle.

ESPECIAL TO THE rsEss1

Augusta, Me-, August 14.-Tbe Su-
preme Court of Error, as Judge Crosby
described the Governor and Council this
forenoon, now. has before it the case for
and against the pardon of Stain and
Cromwell. The Council have listened
patiently to the long arguments of the
three days sittings and they have heard
pretty full review of the case in all it's
various aspects. 1t has been a review
rather than new trial for the much
talked of new evidence has not amounted
to great DEAL Judge Crosby attempted
to show that the man seen in Dexter on
the day of Barron death was not Stain,
but man named McPheters, who wore a
brown overcoat. On the other hand. Mr..
Pierce has added several names to the
long list of those who think they saw
Stain and.Cromwell driving the "rangy
horse" away from Dexter Immediately
after the robbery Judge Crosby has
shown that Barron admitted owning a
pair of handouts. Mr. Pierce has found
a man who says Stain carried a govern
ment bond in his pocket book. Judge
Crosby has secured the affidavit Of
jeremiah Fenno telling him the late
Hon. Silas @. Hatch, the foreman of the
Jury which convicted Stain and Crom-
well, was influenced by his mistaken be-
lief that Stain signed the B. c. Sanborn
receipt. Mr. Pierce has the statement of
the Bangor jailor that Cromwell once
offered to make confession These are
some of the new points relied upon by
the two sides to the controversy. They
are interesting, perhaps, but not start
ling. 1t has been a threshing of old straw
with here and there bundle of new
thrown in. The petitioners have done
most of the threshing.
In the minds of those who have sat
through the hearing, has been the picture
of Barron, manacled and gagged, dying
in the sitting air of the vault His has
been the central figure through it all
The petitioners believe he committed
suicide, consequently two innocent men
at Thomaston must be liberated. And
starting from this point OF view, their
efforts have been chiefly exerted to show
Barron as defaulter who ended his life
for fear of exposure and at the same time
trying to make reparation to the bank
Because of this belief. the petitioners un-
doubtedly have deemed it their duty to
come here as good citizens to plead for
Stain and Cromwell. The remonstrants
appear not against the Two convicts, but
in defense of the honor Of the dead treas
urer. And SO in the proceedings it is
John Wilson Barron's figure which has
been in the light. There were only
occasional glimpses of David Stain and
Oliver Cromwell who were left in a
shadow like that of their prison walls
The following paper put in by Mr..
Pierce has significance in this connec-
tion:

Dexter, and Mr., Corcoran tells Mr.. Pierce
that he once remarked to Stain that he
understood that he had been in Dexter,
to which Stain replied that Dexter was
very pretty place. Mr. Corcoran thinks
that Stain also told him that he was
familiar with Dexter. Certainly his re-
mark that 1t was pretty place would
imply that Yet at the trial when testi-
flying in his own behalf, Stain denied
that he had ever been anywhere near
Dexter. Mr.. Corcoran told Mr.. Brad

perty that this unifor nifty Of measure

| think, Mr.. Editor, that the impair
tial reader will agree with me that the
silver unit is the honest unitof measur-

Important Resolutions.

JACKSON, Miss, Jan. 10.-W hen
The Cotton Growers Protective Asso-
citation convened this morning, the
first thing done was to adopt the re-
port Of the committee on resolutions,
the salient part of which IS as fol
lows:
The gravity of the conditions con,
fronting the cotton growers is recog-
nized. To what extent this may be
traced to financial legislature is useless
to discuss. The overproduction OF cot
ton is recognized as one OF the chief
evils. This must be corrected or uni
versal bankruptcy will follow.
Self-interest must impel the grower
to change. Every farmer is appealed
to not to plant so much cotton, a de-
crease of not less than twenty-five pei
cent. is recommended; fifty per cent.
would be better
The farmer should be made self-sus
tanning by planting peas, corn. potat.
toes, oats. etc, and raising plenty OF
meat. The tide of immigration turned
this way will change methods Farm
ers are urged to form county organ,
izations all over the South to carry
out these resolutions. Cold storage
houses are recommended wherever
practicable. The committee promises
better times and higher prices for cot,
ton if its recommendation are observ-
ed All papers in the South are re-
quested to deep the committees report
standing.
The committee on organization and
bylaws submitted a long repot, OF
which the following is synopsis:
No one shall be member who is
not legitimate grower. The associa,
ton is formed for one year and the
xecutive committee is given power tc
continue it longer, if good results.
The agreement to be sent to all coun,
ties in the cotton growing States for
signatures is not to be binding till
signed by three-fourths of the cotton
acreage in 50 per cent. of the cotton
growing counties, said fact to be dc,
termined by the national committee.
Each member binds himself to pay
2 cents for each acre of cotton planted
in 1894, half to be retained in the
counties, the balence to be paid into
the treasury of the national commit
tee for general purposes.
The county organizations are to be
formed on tie first Monday of March:
1895.
The national executive committee
shall be composed of the national pres
ident. who is ex-otficio chairman, anc
each State is entitled to one member
for every 100000 bales of cotton raised
in 1890, as shown by the United State:
census.
All State organizations shall meet
at the States capitals on the'thlrd Mon
dav on March. 1895, and the rationa
committee at New Orleans the frs
Monnay Of April, 1895, which shall
ascertain whether the agreement Is
signed by the requisite number te
make the same binding. The presld
ents are charged with the duty of see
ing the agreements properly distrlbut-
! ed for signatures.

COMPARISONS in Cotton.

New ORLEANS, Jan. 10.-The cot
ton statement just issued by the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange shows: De-
liveries from the State of Texas for
the four months of this season to De-
cember 31st, 2,26S, 457 bales against
]. 497. 565 bales for the same time last
season, making net increase OF no, :
SCI bales. The deliveries at the Texas
seaboard show an increase of 4O1, 155
bales. The shipments via Cairo and
St. Louis were 116,017 bales: to New
Orleans 243, 722 bales, and rail ship
ments to Mexico %, 2,460 bales, while
the shipments across the Mississippi
river north of st. Louis have decreased
u. 533 bales. The deliveries from the
State of Texas from and after January
/. last year So ,404 bales, the CONNER
cial crop of Texas last year having
been 2,059, ,040.
The statement giving an analysis of
the movement of cotton IN sight dl-
vides the cotton belt into three groups.
viz: First-Texas and Indian Terri
tory. Second-Other Gulf States, en-
bracing Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississ-
ippi and Tennessee: Third-Atlantic
States. embracing North Carolina,
Georgia and Florida. This analysis
shows the crop for the first four
months of the season to December 81,
inclusive. as follows: Texas 1855, ,322
bales, against 1854, 914 in 1893 and
$50, ,S57 in 1892; other Gulf States,
l, 941, 40 bales, against 1852, 955 1898
and 1,1S0 $40 in 1892; Atlantic States
2,575, 71G against 2,30S, 233 in 1893, and
2,049, 649 in 1892.
The statement does not divide Texas
and other Gulf States for 1891, the
$3.50, 900 crop year, but it gives the
following comparisons between this
year and 1891: Texas and other Gulf
States together, this year, 1896, sol
against 3,S12.952 in 1891; Atlantic
States, this year, 575,716. against
2. 633, 134 in 1891. Excess compared
with 1891 in Texas and other Gulf
States 4S3. $40 decrease, compared with
1891 in Atlantic States 54,41S. The
difference between the Texas crop,
given above and Texas crop in sight,
consists of the fact that the Texas crop
embraces only cotton actually shipped
cut of the State to December 81,
whereas, that in sight includes also
stocks at interior towns on December
81 in excess of September /.

Starving and Striking.

HALIFAX. \. S.. Jan. 10.-The mi
ners at Spring Hill coal mines struck
this morning. Only meagre informa-
ton has been received here as yet. but
it appears the trouble has been COM
ing between the miners and the man
ayers for some time over whether the
work should be done in one long shit
or two short ones. Neither side would
give way, and the strike resulted. Inc
feeling is that the men, although they
have grievances, should not have
struck at time when work III their
line is so dull. Word from the col
lieries last night was to the effect that
a settlement had been reached, but a
hitch occurred this morning and the
men refused to go to work.
