THE COTTON CROP.
A Decline of II Points From the Con.
ditiOn I'm August.


ditiOn I'm August.
The September cotton report of the De-
partment of Agriculture shows a decline
from the August condition of the crop,
which was 10 to 70.S per cent, a decline
of IL points. This makes the lowest Sep
TENDER condition of the plant since ISL
when 1t was reported at 20 per cent. The
next lowest since 1881 was the condition
of 1888 when it stood for the same mont
at 1874.
Cotton suffered severely during the month
of August from the drought which charac-
terized the early part of the month and the
excessive rain which succeeded it, The
presence of boil worms has worked great
injury and the crop has been injured by
shedding and rust. The causes mentioned
by Texas correspondents for the deteriora-
ton In the state are as follows: DrouSht
hot weather, floods, boil worms, sharp
shooters, Mexican weevil, caterpillars, army
worms and weeds.
There is striking unanimity in the pessi-
misCc tone adopted by correspondents
throughout all of the cotton-raising states.
The state averages are as follows: Vir-
ginia, 81; North Carolina, 70; South Caro-
lima, 81; Georgia, 81; Florida, 10; Alabama
"A; Mississippi, a; Louisiana IS; Texas
SO; Arkansas, 70; Tennessee, &c; Kentucky,

The President has granted pardon In the

District Cases.
In this case the President says: I'm view
of all the facts IN this case. l am of the
opinion that the sentence of the court, as
modified and mitigated, was merciful and
proper, and should represent all of the
leniency this convict deserved In the
case of Chas. b. Terry, sentenced in the
District of Columbia to three years in AL
bany penitentiary for assault with intent
to kill the President says: Il am by no
means certain that any clemency should
be shown in this case, at any time or in any
event l am satisfied there should be no in
reference with the sentence a present.
In the case of Edward Scott, sentenced in
the District of Columbia to 364 days in the
United States jail Washington, d. c.. for
assault and carrying concealed weapons,
the President says: Carrying pistols and
using them on every possible pretext, and
assault such as this convict committed,
growing out of this pistol carrying habit,
ought, in my opinion. to be severely and
firmly treated"

GEN. CRAIGHILL RETURNS.
He VIII Not Give Out the Government
Printing Office Report Now.

IIlhtlhS OUucc Report NOW.
Gen. Craighill, chief of engineers, resumed
bis duties at the War Department this
morning, after a short visit to Ocean City,
Md. He said to Star reporter that he did
lot care at the present time to give out
Col. Wilson's special report in regard to the
changes made by the public printer in the
building between the south center and
southwest sections of the government print
ing office. recently completed and trans
ferred to the public printer.
Gen. Craghill added that he did not care
to discuss the matter at this juncture, ex-
cept to say that Col. Wilson would not
have put in the tie rods or braces unless he
thought they were necessary for the abso-
lutte safety of the building, and that it was
perfectly natural upon their removal that
he should desire to be absolved from fur
Their responsibility for the security of the
building. A copy of Col Wilson'S report
giving the facts in the case, has been fur

OLD TIMERS IN LINE.
Veterans of the Mexican War Rode In
Carriages.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, September lot is
doubtful If this city, famous for fair wo-
men and fast horses, ever before enter
tanned as many guests as are here today.
Certain it is the town never before had
within its limits SO many battle-scarred
soldiers. 1t is conservatively estimated
that nearly 100000 strangers are here, and
the majority of them thirty years ago bore
arms either for the blue or for the gray.
But the blue and gray are one today, and
men who were then at war walk arm in
arm as brothers. The bitter hatred of
those dark days has vanished.
The event CT today was the grand parade
of the Naval Veterans Association, and, to
judge by the crowds of men, women and
children who thronged the sidewalks along
the line of march. crowded the windows
and housetops, all Louisville turned out to
see. Its old citizens, men who have lived
here for the last forty or fifty years-and
there are many of them-say it was the
grandest sight they ever saw. But the
great Grand Army parade tomorrow which
is to be the event of the week, promises to
far SurpaSS it.
The hour set for the starting of the
Naval Veterans parade was 1870 o'clock
But, as usual there was some delay; not
enough, however, to tire the anxious and
patient thousands who had gathered to see
It,
When the order TO Forward march,"
was given, the old-timers moved.
Ehere were fully 10000 men in line. Of
course they were not all veterans and of
Uncle Sans war navy, but these veterans
of the navy were the center of attraction
and as these grizzled and gray old heroes
passed through the streets they were greet
ed by patriotic cheers from the threats of
the lens of thousands of citizens on the
sidewalks, from the windows and house
tops.
A detail of police, under command of J.
w. Hammond, led the way. The Michigan
City Military Band came next, and then
the Louisville Legion Drum and Bugle
Corps. A regiment of Irdana state militia
followed the music, and next to the hoosier
soldiers was the Louisville Legion. Then
in sequence came Kirkamp's Cornet Band
uniform divisions of the knights of Pythias
Alpha, N. A, Louisville and Jeffersonville
Schneider's Military Band; Juvenile Drum
Corps, Uniform Rank knights of Honor
ex-prisone-s of war. Mississippi Ram Fleet
Veterans. Ejchorn's Military Band; Grand
Army of the Republic Juvenile Drum Corps
Last in the parade, riding in carriages
came a score or more veterans of the Mex
lean war. They We're too feeble with weight
of years to walk, and few of them ever ex-
pect to see another encampment Of the G.
