Cotton Belt In Sections
Secretary Hester has also issued a
statement giving an analysis. OF the
movement of cotton into sight, divid-
ing the cotton belt into three groups,
viz, 1st, Texas and Indian Territory;
I'd, other gulf states, embracing Ar
kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Ten
nessee; Sd, Atlantic states, embracing
North Carolina. South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Florida and Ala bama This analy-
sis shows the crop brought into sight
FOR the first six months of the season
to February 2Sth, inclusive-Texas
1881, ,92o bales, against 1,sl1,54o bales
in 1894, and 1893, ,s82 In 1898. Other
gulf sta3es, 9,ses,s95 bales against L.
$50, $50 in 1894, and 1855, TOT in 1898.
Atlantic states 3,1s6, 900 bales against
2,sf5,70o in 1894, and 1884, ,6T4 IN 1898.
The statement does not divide Texas
and other Gulf states for 1892, the
e.os5, 900 crop year, as there were no
separate monthly figures made for
Texas in that year, bu2 it gives the fol-
lowing comparisons between this year
and 1892:
Atlantic and Gulf States
Texas and other Gulf states together
this year $3.50. 715 bales against 1874
419 in 1892; Atlantic states this year
s,1s5,e4o bales against s,os95s5 in 1892.
Excess compared with 1892 il Texas
and other Gulf states, 456, ,295; excess
compared with 1892 in the Atlantic
states, 54,4O5. The difference In Texas
crop as given above and Texas In sight
consists of the fact that Texas crop
embraces only cotton actually shipped
out Of the state to February 2S, whereas
the in sight includes also stocks at
counter interior towns on February %
in excess of September 1st. Deliveries
from the different groups after Febru-
ary % in the past three years, were:
From Texas 247, $40 bales in 1s94 and
1851 in 1898; from other Gulf states
27e, ,e1a in 1894 and sos. $50 in 1898; from
Texas and other Gulf states together
5e0,5s1 in 1898; from Atlantic states
s,77e in 1894; 4o2. COZ in 1898, and 517,-

the confederate brigaders and other

against the proposed organization OF

FIFTEEN DEATHS.

Two More Deaths From Diptheria
Bring the LIST Up to That Figure.
Two more lives have been added to
the list of diptheria victims.
Yesterday afternoon Maude s. Van
Fleet, the eight year old daughter of
Isaac Van Fleet. died at the home of her
parents 1913 North Polk street.
This is one of the cases in which the
child attended school. She was taken
sick about 4 week ago and quit school,
and short time afterward the house was
quarantined. 1t was thought last week
that the child would recover, but she
grew worse on Monday and nothing
could save her.
At 4 o'elocki' this morning Francis
johnson, aged years, died at his pa
rents home, 206 Kline street, of diphthe-
ria.
At 9 o'clock this morning. when I'm
dertaker DeMoss talephoned DR.. Mitch
ell, the death was not known at the health
office.
This makes fifteen deaths from diph-
liberia.
These deaths prove thatthe danger is
not yet over and too much care can not
be exercised. There must be no second
epidemic of the disease.
If there is another outbreak the schools
should be closed at once.

CHOLERAABOUT GONE
Only Two New Cases Reported
in Honolulu.
The Mortality Was Great While
it Lasted.
OUT OF 81, So DIED.
Cause of the Disease Was Eating
Poisoned Fish.
Circulator of a Sensational Re-
port Tarred and Feathered.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 9-The steamer
Australia arrived to-day bringing the
following from Honolulu October 2:
But two cases of cholera have devel-
oped in the past fourteen days. The
record to date is eighty-seven cases. OF
that number sixty-three died. But two
white people have succumbed to the dis
ease. OF the total number of cases,
eighty-two were Hawaiians The ma
uves persistently refused to report cases
until the victims were dead or dying.
The natives acted contrary to all rules
made by the board of health. They
claim cholera is brought to the country
to exterminate them, and blame the
white men for the visitation. The board
of health made a house to house inspec-
tion twice each day until the 23rd ult.,
when the whole town received d thorough
cleaning.
But two new cases have been reported
since that date. It is believed the
trouble is now over. There is much dis
tress among the Hawaiians. A relief
station has been opened to supply them
with food. About 10000 rations are
handed out weekly. There is consider
able doubt as to the real nature of the
disease. Many claim that it is not chol-
era. The cause of the trouble is at
tributed to poisoned fish.
The majority of the cases were taken
from houses that border on stream
from which fish were taken and eaten
raw By the natives. Two white people
who died. attended a native feast and
ate fish. The natives have circulated
story that two Hawaiian cholera patients
were buried alive. Frank Godfrey, white,
recently discharged from the cholera
hospital as cured is charged with being
the author of the report. Four men
lured him to lonely spot and gave him
coat of tar and feathers. Godfrey has
appealed to the United States minister

A White Child First Sees the Light on
HerscheI Island Near Alaska

HerscheI Island Near Alaska.
SAN Francisco, Oct An American
baby has been born on Herschel island
as close to the north pole as San Fran
cisco is to Mazatlan. 1t would not be an
item worth mentioning if the baby was
born of native parents in such a FAR
north part of the world. 1t IS however
a white baby, its mother being the wife
Of Captain A c. Sherman OF the steam
Whaler Beiuga.
In all Likelihood baby never before
saw the light of day on HerscheI island.
It is a barren spot in the arctic ocean.
The island lies about north of tile
boundary line between the. extreme
northern portion of Alaska and the ex-
treme northern portion OF British North
America. Ii it re possible to follow
an air line from Sitka to Herschel island
the traveller would have to journey 1900
miles straight norta before ne could see
the bold head lines of Herschel island
The story of the birth OF this norther
most of American babies was brought
here by Captain Mason of the steam
tender Jeanie
wife had passed one winter. at Herschel
island, and Mrs. Sherman was quite
used 10 the midnight sun of the summers
and the darkness of the winter as WE'LL
There was great to do about the birth
Of the baby There were four women at
Herschel island to idolize the little one.
They were the wives of whaling cap
tains. The whalers, most of whom had
been away EroiA '-4ome for more than
eighteen mopths, when the baby was
born all were greatly interested in the
event, and sent many presents to the
happy mother.
There happened to be a clergyman Of
the church of England at the camp He
had been sent to that old corner of the
globe as a missionary his name being
Rev. Mr.. Stringer. With all the form
ality that was possible on the barren
island he christened the child Helen
Herschel Sherman.
The baby has taken very kindly to the
mild but perpetual daylight of the sum-
mer at Herschel island and bids fair to
thrive there through the long dull winter
months. Its playthings are made from
whalebone and its cradle was cut from
pieces OF wreckage by ships carpenter.
