ALBERT EDWARDS SON.
He's Simple, .Affable and Good Speaker

Gondon Letter to New York SUM-
He walked into the room in ordinary
evening dress, with nothing about him to
suggest a being CT superior clay except
the broad ribbon crossing his breast and
an attendant in court attire who stood at
a respectful distance. His coming had
been announced to the two hundred
geographers present by bustling little
Englishman who suddenly shot into the
room in great apparent hurry and some
what shrilly announced:
"Take your seats, please. The Duke
coming"
He was the Duke Of York. and he may
Sit on the throne of England some day if
Her Gracious Majesty does not outlive all
her descendants. He had left his fair
wife and young heir at home, and had
gone to South Remington to welcome to
England the men from all over the wo1 Id
who had arrived in London as delegates
to the International Geographical Con-
sress and as he assembled the platform
afcot above the floor the foreign ambas-
sailors in London crowded around to greet
him. and then began to present the dele
gates from their various countries
The Duke made pleasant impression
upon the foreigners. He was simple and
affable in manner, wore pleasant smile,
bowed slightly as he heard each name,
and again. in more generous measure,
as he grasped each hand. Perhaps his
handshake was moro hearty than it would
have been if the throhg had been larger.
If not. he can endure a good deal of that
sort of exercise. The ceremony over the
duke was conducted to the great hall of
the Imperial Institute, where he opened
the Congress in the presence OF large
audience There was nothing exceptional
in the matter of his speech, but it's man
ner probably surprised most OF the dele
gates. His Royal Highness seems to
Rave the advantage of excellent elocu-
tionary drill He was the only speaker
that evening whose every word was dis
tinctly heard by the 1900 auditors. a
Had he spoken in, our Metropolitan
Opera House I venture to say that the
auditors in the topmost gallery would not
have missed syllable. His voice has
plenty of volume and carrying power; il
of pleasing quality, and he speaks with
distinctness of enunciation that is rare
among public speakers. The Duke o.
York is comparatively recent arriya
on the platform, but he speaks his grand
mothers English with excellent effect
The heirs to the British throne have
frequent occasion to make more or les!
interesting remarks. to large crowds @
their future subjects. They will at leas
have no trouble in hearing what Prince
George has to say. He is the best public
speaker the House of Hanover has pro
duced: and if happily he have some gift
of eloquence and Imagination, he woult
make an orator Of no mean ability Were
he not, as royal scion, too closely heaget
around with dignity and circumspection
The Duke would find America a bette
field than England for oultiyating the ar
of oratory.

The ce-president of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad. Mr.. George NJ. Pullman S
family, and others who have the happy
privilege of summering upon the Thous-
az d Islands, have been greatly puzzled and
some of them seriously Inconvenience,
by mysterious phenomena which the St.
Lawrence River has developed. Soon
after the ice broke in the river 1T Was
noticed that the water was receding from
the banks a, little. This recession contin-
ued until about the time the summer sea-
on opened. Then the water had fallen
by nearly four feet; some of the measure
ments give it little over three, and
others little under four feet. This is
the extreme, but there has been observ-
able no increase in the volume Of the
water. What has caused this falling of
the water is mystery. Some OF the ex-
perts attribute it to possible great drouth
in the Canadian wilderness, although
there arc no reports that the Canadian
rivers emptying into Lake Ontario or the
ST. Lawrence are running low. Whatever
the cause is, it does net exist west of
Lake Ontario.
Some twelve or fifteen years ago the
lake itself receded from its normal water
line several feet, and from causes which
were never discovered Then again after
ward it overdowed the normal water line,
submerging many low districts along the
lake. Report has not been brought to
this CITY of any recession of the waters Of
the lake and if there has been none, then
this extraordinary falling Of the ST. Law
renee River is due to some cause existing
between the outlet of the lake and the
Thousand Islands Whatever the cause
the results are easy enough to note.
One of the railway presidents caused a
dock to be built from his island into deep
water for the convenience of his yacht
That dock today stands almost high and
dry.
MIR. Frank W. Hawley built sea wall
last year around q part Of his island
This year he can drive q team around the
.outermost side of it. The steamboats, that
ply between some of the islands find the
water so low that the boats leave the
wake of muddy water behind them, and
if the river had not ceased falling some
of the channels would have been impass-
able.
This unusual occurrence will be sure to
recall the statement Of some OF the sclen-
lists who years ago made study OF Lake
Ontario and the Upper ST. Lawrence, ana
who then reported that there were some
reasons for believing that there was a SUD,
terranean river connecting the lake anu
the st. Lawrence

and their services deserve recognition
by your honorable bodies by allowing
them adequate compensation.
These are the only attorneys who
have aided this Office In the multiple
city OF the important litigated cases
heard In the courts during the year.
In conclusion, may add that the
amount of litigation in which the
State has been involved during the
past year is unprecedented"
ALI of the litigation fund OF tho de-
partment, something over $1,000, was
consumed during the year except
Sl4731.
Appended to the Attorney General's
report are the reports of the solicitors
of the several circuits in the State,
with tabulated statements of the num-
Der and clases of cases tried and dis.

of cases for the violation Of the dispen-

THE FIGHT AGAINST RAILROAD
CONSULTATIONS Gov. Evans says
that just as soon as 1t Is shown that
the real owners of the Southern Rail
way are the real purchasers OF the
Port Royal and Western Carolina
Road, and the reorganization has been
undertaken, he would direct that legal
proceedings be instituted to see that
the charter was annulled, and that the
combination was not effected. He
said that he has already advised the
Secretary of State not to record any
railroad reorganization or charter pa
pers until they were referred to the
Attorney Generals office. III the case
OF the reorganization OF the Port Royal
and Western Carolina Road could not
be reached by the new constitution he
said that there was no doubt In his
naind thatit was case that wss fully
covered by the existing statute law.
Governor Evans says that the people
OF the State have repeatedly expressed
lthemeelves against the consolidation
of competing lines, and that he ex-

THE RECORD OF A YEAR.
What South Carolina Has Raised OF
Her Farms-LarYc Yields and Coco

What South Carolina Has Raised on
Her Farms-LarYc Yields and Good
Prices.
The State.
This has been an abundant harvest
year in South Carolina and the farmers
may be said to have been blessed. The
year was in strange contrast with the
preceding one, particularly as prices
have been 30 much better for farm
products.
During the year just closed, while
the official figures are not yet at hand,
the estimate by competent authority
is that the corn crop has been the
largest ever harvested In this State.
The total crop Is estimated at 20,000,-
600 bushels. The average yield per
acre has been Is bushels, against IL
last year. The largest previous corn
crop was about II 600, 900 bushels.
1t is estimated also that the State
has furnished to the markets OF the
world this year 638, 148 bales OF cotton,
the average bale being $50 pounds.
The acreage in cotton during the year
just closing is estimated at 1857 900.
The prices paid for the crop are pretty
generally known. 1t Is thought that
the average price per pound will work
out to be almost cents for the entire
crop.
Besides all this grain crops were un-
usually fine the past year, and 80 was
the tobacco crop, the latter bringing
excellent prices. Again the smoke.
