Italy will have like number; Spain will
be represented by four; frances antip-
athy to Germany will keep her fleet down
to two; Turkey will have three: Russia
will probably send her entire Baltic
sea fleet, and England's fleet may num-
Der round dozen. Sweden and Den
mark will also be represented, although
Denmark s interest in the festivities is of
a melancholy character.
The reason of this is that the new canal
will practically end the supremacy of
Copenhagen as a seaport town. Ger
many boasts that Denmark Will suffer
more by the new canal than it did in the
great war of 1854 when it lost the ric h
duchy of Schleswig Holstein. Heretofore
ships have been compelled to pass Copen-
hagen and make the dangerous passage
around the threatening cliffs of Jutand
to reach Ham burg. The new canal will
! save this perilous trip and roundabout
of commerce from Copenhagen.
The maritime catastrophes off the lag
ged shores of Denmark and Sweden have
been terrific. In the last thirty five yea @
sixty-tiye hundred vessels have been
totally destroyed or seriously damaged
by the sudden storms peculiar to that
region; the innumerable ice foes. the
countless islands and deadly rocks. This
is record which makes the mariner fear
full OF the trip. and Germany argues that
he will be only too glad to make use of
the canal. Ship owners have suffered
gigantic pecuniary losses, too, by these

VOuched for by Eugene Field.

Perhaps the souvenir which Mr.. Hobart
Z. Chatfield-Taylor values more highly
than any other in his large and interesting
collection, says the Chicago Record, is the
pipe which the Infanta Eulalia Smoked
during her visit to Chicago in 1893 This
pipe is of French brierwood and was
made in Paris; its stem is seven inches
long, including the amber tip and the
bowl is correspondingly large. In the pri-
yacy of her apartments, and while yacht
ing upon our lake, the princess had this
pipe almost constantly between her pearIv
teeth during her. stay in Chicago. She
had been accustomed to smoking Cuban
tobacco, but in Chicago she became ac-
quainted with the superlative charms of
cut plug, and it is understood that she
has used none other since.
Mr.. Chatfield-Taylor keeps his precious
souvenir in glass case upon small veil

letter which the Spanish princess sent him,
asking his acceptance of the piSA in mem.

but it is not clear whether these happy

The Cotton Crop Report.

The monthly cotton crop report OF the
department Of agriculture. issued yester-
day. did not show as bad a state Of affairs
as some Of the cotton spectators pre-
dicted it would. and consequently there
was a decline in the price OF cotton. But
the condition Of the crop. as shown by the
report, is bad enough. as bad as there was
any reason for thinking 1t would be. It
certainly did not justify a decline in the
market That is evident from the fact
that before the close Of the market cotton
futures recovered much Of what they had
lost on the receipt Of the report.
What are the facts? For the past six
years the annual average crop hae been
$4,000 bales The condition for Oct. l.
for six years. averages 77.S. The condition
given yesterday was 65.1. which indicates
a crop of $4,000 bales, assuming that the
acreage is up TO the average. But as it
Will be admitted. doubtless. that the ac-
reage is less than the average a crop
not exceeding 10000 bales is probably a
fair estimate.
We have had already considerable frost
in portions of the cotton belt. Frost has
come much earlier this year than usual,
and it has, no doubt, done some damage
TO the crop. In view of the early frost,
may we not expect stin heavier frost soon?
All things considered, is it not safe to
say that yield of 6,5OO,OOO bales is an ex-
tremely liberal one? Notwithstanding
what some of the spectators say, we
shall not be surprised to see cotton selling
at higher price than it has yet reached
within the next few days.

Some of the republican bosses of Ohio
propose that Senator Brice. the man they
most fear. shall be attacked with a new
weapon. They are advising their news
paper organs to keep his name out of
print. They think they can kill him off by
ignoring him. There are probably some
politicians who might be smothered in
that manner. But Mr.. Brice is hardly one
of them. The chief reason why he is not
is because there are not bosses enough
in Ohio politics to keep his name out of
the papers. He is identified with too
many business interests; and further
more, his political interviews are legiti-
mate news.

Irby Against TiIIman.

Senator Irby may succeed In enlivenine
the debates in the South Carolina consU-
tutional convention by his opposition 10
Senator TiIlmans suffrage scheme. but
that is about all his opposition will amount
to. He is one Of the leaders Of the re-
formers. but has no following. Therefore.
from political point Of view. he amounts
TO very little.
He declares he will not stand silently by
and see Hliterate white men disfran-
chised while negroes. who can read ana
write. are permitted TO vote The educa-
ton qualification for suffrage meets with
his disapproval, and he announces his
intention to test his strength with that
of Senator Tiilman in an effort to prevent
it from being adopted.
But before he enters upon his campaign
of opposition he ought to announce what
sort of suffrage qualification he favors
in place Of that which be opposes. Unless
he has something better in view he will
be heard with impadence. 1t is an easy
matter TO find reasons for opposing any
proposition. but the test Of genuine ability
consists in giving satisfactory reasons for
opposing what another proposes and sug-
gesting something more acceptable.
Senator Irby will be asked. when he
condemns Senator Tiilman's suffrage plan,
what he has to offer in place Of it. II
he says he has nothing the consutu-
tional convention will have no further use
for him. He knows enough, of course. of
the federal constitution TO be aware that
South Carolina cannot disfranchise her
black citizens simply because they are
black. 1t is practically impossible to dis
franchise any considerable number of them
without DISTINGUISHING some white citi-
zens.
Does Senator Irby propose that ali citi-
zens shall vote. both white and black?
If that is his purpose, and it should be
adopted. condition Of affairs might re-
suit that would be more Objectionable to
illiterate white citizens. for whom he seems
to be so solicitous, than if they should be
shut out from the ballot box Senator
Irby may gain favor with an element of
the whites by opposing Senator Tnlman's
suffrage plan, but he cannot have much
ground for hoping to defeat that plan.

Madagascar.
From the Philadelphia Press (Rep.)

Madagascar is a tropical island as big
as New England, the middle states, Ohio
and Indiana, and as the French have
at Portland, Me, and marching to WIZ
Transport, Pa, through a tropical, fever
stricken jungle it can scarcely surprise
any one that the job has been hard one.
Now that Antananarivo is taken the war
is over, to the profound relief of the
French ministry Madagascar, it must
be remembered, is not inhabited by
single people struggling for liberty but
by number of tribes ruled in brutal and
despotic fashion by a single tribe, the
Hovas. Now that the forces of this tribe
are scattered the French will have no
difficulty in establishing themselves in
the island but that offered by the climate.
This is a very serious obstacle, but it can
be met. and there will probably be little
more fighting, and so far 100 men have
died of fever to one fallen in battle.

The Peculiar Case of Patsey Casey

The Peculiar Case of Patsey Casey.
The city of Bridgeport, Conn.,, is not
easily moved by queer things. 1t is the
winter quarters of a famous circus,
hence sights and sounds that might al
most paralyze another community are
commonplace in Bridgeport. Neverthe-
less, that city is at present all agog over
the peculiar case of Patsey Casey.
1t is like this: Patsey is the 15-year-old
son of his mother. Heretofore he has
been remarkable only for the pronounced
redness of his red hair, and the all-perva-
ding thereness Of his freclxles. At the be
ginning of August last he stood five feet
high, and weighed 12O pounds-about the
proper things for red headed boys of his
age to do. In August there came a very
hot wave. simultaneously with the hot
wave Patsey began to grow in both hight
and weight. At the end of eight weeks
he had attained to the altitude of six
feet two inches, and his avoirdupois had
increased to 16S pounds. He was too big
for his bed as well as his breeches;
by night six inches or more Of his pedal
extremties hung beyond the footboard,
and by day his length of shank was ac-
centuated by the space between his shoe
tops and his trousers. His folks were
unable to buy him new and longer pair
of trousers to put on each morning.
Not only did Patsey's limbs grow, but
his red hair entered the race, and grew
at a pace that marked it for winner.
1t was found necessary to shingle his
hair once or twice a week in order to
keep the fiery top-dressing of his Uranium
within proper bounds. His bones grew.
too, but they became soft. The pace set
by the hair and flesh was too hot for the
bones. They couldn't keep up and re-
tain their accustomed hardness, so they
quit considering quality and went in to
win on quantity. They became soft, and
pliable like whalebone. His teeth be-
came loosened in their sockets, and
threatened to fall out at the slightest
ar. To cap the climax, Patsey lost his
voice. His body probably outgrew IT.;
or it may be that his larnyx was shocked
into speechlessness by the queer deport-
ment of its contemporaries.
At any rate, Patsey lost his voice. and
the doctors were called. They found that
Patsey had been eating a good many seed
oysters during the hot spell, and thought
that may have had something to do with
his condition. But they were not sure.
They agreed that his bones and flesh
were in a very lax state, to say the
least, and that they needed something
to pucker them up. Acting upon this
conclusion, it is said they sent to Vir-
ginia for a lot of green persimmons for
Patsey to eat.
The description of the boys queer case.
as told above, is written in the past
tense for the reason that the effect of
the persimmons has not yet been made
public. and 1t may be that they have
properly puckered him, solidified his
flesh and made normal red headed boy
of him once again. If they have done
so, Patsey's chances of becoming freak
have been spoiled. But if they have not,
it may be that he will become famous
man, and develop a longer reach than
either Fitzsimmons or Corbett.
