New YORK, April 3.-Pilot W.

that will explain to many anxious
hearts why they have not heard since
So sailed from the men who went out
in the little steamer City Of Haverhill,
which started for Key West Oh Thurs
day last. She was 1iatbottomed siren
wheel river boat, and on her trip south
was to put into a safe harbor every
night, but no word was received of
her until Pilot Crocker's arrival, and
he reported that the body of her cap
tain, w. ?. Watrous, with life buoy
strapped about his waist, and some
wreckage were sighted by the men Of
the James Bennett, after the heavy
blown Friday last, off Barnegat. The
rest Of the men aboard many perhaps
have been picked up, but only sailors
who knew of the story shook their
heads in dismay, and said the City Of
Hayerhill would not live 5 minutes
al sea in half a gale. Her pilot for the
trip south was Captain VIM. D. Van
Wycke, a well known and popular old
yachting captain. The chief engineer
was Sam Brown, and his assistant was

Lewis Luckenbach. the tug owner.

LEXINGTON.

BESSErTsvILLE, April lit is diff
ficult to form anything like correct
estimate of what the reduction in the
cotton acreage in this county will be.
The first of 1 be year the common talk
was that it would be so per cent. Now
one farmer will say no reduction at
all, another one % per cent, while still
another will say 80 per cent. There is
no doubt but that the reduction would
be much greater had the oat crop not
been killed in the early part of the
year. The little rise in the price Of
cotton will also have its effect in les
sening the contemplated reduction.
From all that can be learned Is per
cent. is probabl Y fair estimate Of the
reduction of the acreage as compared
with last years crop.

DANGER OF POPULAR REVOLT.
Even as I write comes strange news
from Germany. whose capitalistshave
been most obstinate and insultingly
arrogant in their contempt of bimetal-
ilsm. The reichstag has declared for
"a bimetallic conference after
a heated discussion in which
It was loudly declared that the present
policy is running the agricultural IN
terests and is simple destruction to
debtors. Within five hours OF this
fact in Washington our own senate
took most significant action Public
men in both houses limited at their be-
lief that the war on silver had gone
too far, and on the next day Senator
Chandler openly confessed that New
England was alarmed at the general
tendency of prices and business. This
was most amazing confession for
him, that the present policy was most
unjust to debtors, that if the Republl-
cans did not carry out their pledges IN
aid of silver there was danger of a pop
ular revolt; that England as the great
creditor nation had destroyed bimetal-
lism in her own selfish interest. and
the United States had acQuiesced TO
the injury of its people.
Several English writers have re-
ceA = been honest enough to put their
advocacy of bimetallism on the ground
that there has been such shrinkage Of
the securities on which debts are based
that hundreds of millions of bonds
have been made worthless. Mr. Dav-
id Murray, addressing the London
capitalists in regard to Australia, says:
Banks advanced on securities at as

NEWBERRY.

NEwBERRY, April Farming op-
erations are much delayed, but most
farmers have madea decision as to the
amount of cotton they will pant. In
some sections of the county the reduc-
ton will be 80 per cent, III others 80 to
40, in some 25 per cent. In the south
western section there can probably be
very little reduction, because the far
mers there have planted cotton only

A MILLION BICYCLES.
Growth, Influence and Effect of the
Bicycle Habit.

"Ho"sh, ARHueucc ana Effect of the
Bicycle Habit.
From Harpers Weekly
The historian who will write tbe trua his
tory of tn closing years of the nineteenth
century will be compelled to say a great
deal about the growth. influence and effects
Of the bicycle habit during that period.
The points which he will feel obliged to
cover are as numerous as. they are inter-
esting. The bicycle as the legitimate sue
cessor OF the velocipede of a quarter of a
century ago, was taken up as an appliance
Tor exercise and pleasure. These it has fur
nished to an extent not anticipated by it's
E'ost enthusiastic dvotees. In addition it
has passed beyond any limits of mere
pleasure or exercise. 1t has forced itself
on the attention of the great war powers
of the earth. 1t remains to be seen what
Warlike purposes it may serve: but it is
safe to say that in the next European war
the first man of the invading force in the
enemys country will be mounted on a
wheel. 1t has conquered society Aristoc-
racy in England and France. as we'll as in
tlis country, has recognized it's worth. In
adopting it the idle and luxurious classes
have rendered service by enormously in
creasing its popularity. The hundreds of
thousands who might have hesitated be-
tween desire and dread in the uncertainty
as to whether it was the proper thing have
had their doubts cleared away. A custom
which has the sane ton of the Faubourg st.
Germain, of the British peerage, of the
Michaux Club of Newport and of the local
four hundred in each one of our great
cites is as firmly established as the Con-
stituton with its subsequent amendments.
In this country it is creating, as we have
said. social and economical conditions
worthy of the attention of the historian.
1t may not be true, as Mrs. Anthony says,
that woman is. riding to suffrage on the
BICYCLE" but it is undoubtedly true that
she is riding to greater freedom. to a near
er equality with man, to the habit of TAX
ing care of herself. and to new views on
the subject of clothes philosophy. The wo-
man on the wheel is altogether a novelty,
and is essentially a product of the last de-
cade of the century.
In this. country alone the sales of b;cy
cles for this year are estimated at 100000.
The total number of bicycles in use is esti
mated at 1,000.00O. These figures are mere
euesses, but there is nothing incredible or
improbable about them. 1t is certain that
we are only at the beginning of what is
called the bicycle craze. and the indica-
tiens are that the craze is not getting ready
to disappear, even If it is not getting ready,
as is more likely, to supersede all other
methods of locomotion

The Naval Militia,

The first result of an important work
in connection with our coast defense under
taken by the naval militia al the suggestion
of Lieut.. Niblack. in charge of this division
at the Navy Department, has just reached
the department. 1t is a report of the mill
tary reconnaissance made by the New York
naval brigades during the past summer Of
the north and south shores of Long Island
sound. The brigades made four preliminary
expeditions, lasting in each case from Fri
day evening to Monday morning, and then
spent a full week in the work. They located
with exactness and plotted sites for signal
stations to cover this entire territory, select
ed sites for shore forts and submari ne
mines. furnished close measurements of he
depth OF water at wharves and bridges indi-
Gated the nearest points Of the telegraphic
and telephonic communication with mead
quarters, and. in fact, compiled store of in
formation that is simply invaluable TO both
naval and military authorities. As the
work was done by the state forces, the re-
suits have been deposited with the adjatant
general at Albany, but the copy furnished
the Navy Department will serve as a basis
for the extension of this work along our en-
tire coasts by the naval militia Of other
states.
