COTTON's ACREAGE.
A Movement on Foot to Keep Down
Next Seasons Crop.


Next Seasons Crop.
Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 2S.-A movement
looking to no increase of the cotton
acreage next year was inaugurated by
the Memphis Cotton Exchange this after
noon at a general meeting called for the
purpose. The preamble to the resolu-
tons adopted sets forth that large crop
of cotton grown at heavy expense brings
but little if any larger total value, con-
trasting the present with past years to
establish the fact and adds: Another
matter for the farmers to bear in mind is
that at the present time, when there is
a remote possibility of a war, If such
should occur, the inevitable result there
of would be to depreciate the value of cot
ton and appreciate the value of all food
crops. Therefore be it
Resolved, That the Memphis Cotton
Exchange urgently recommends to the
producers that the production of home
supplies be made the first consideration
in plant operations for the coming year,
and that the acreage of cotton be not in
creased over that of last year.
Resolved, That we approve and in
dorse the American Cotton Growers As
ISOLATION for bringing about the reduc-
ton in the acreage of the crop now being
marketed and we respectfully urge the
Hon. Hector d. Lane, the president, and
his coadjutors and the presidents in the
various cotton states of said association
to continue in the good work and TO take
up the matter at the earliest practicable
moment and urge il again upon the atten-
ton of the cotton producers OF the south.
Resolved, That the various cotton eX-
changes throughout the south be and are
hereby requested to cooperate with this
southern newspapers are also requested
70 publish these resolutions.

Roe Explains That He Cast no Re-
Elections in His Interview.
Washington, Dec. 23.-Rear Admiral
Roe has sent to the Secretary of the Navy
a voluntary explanation of the allegation
that he was guilty of violation of the
naval regulations in criticising President
Cleveland in an interview purporting to
have been had with him on the Venezuela
affair and published in New York news
paper. Nothing he has said, the admiral
states in his letter, could be construed.
by inuendo or otherwise, as a reflection
upon the President or the government. He
had simply discussed with a newspaper
man the lack of fOrtifications on the
of the United States navy, as compared
with that of Great Britain. There had
been no reflection on the President or any
government official on account of the
stand taken in the boundary dispute. Ad-
miral Roe. who is a retired officer but
nevertheless subject to naval regulations,
gives an epitome of the gallant service
he rendered during the late war, and adds
that if men such as he are to be suspected
of traitorous sentiments it would be well
to have a few more of that kind. Il is
understood the explanation is satisfactory
TO Secretary Herbert, and that Admiral
Roe viii be completely eXhonerated by the
latter.

tired officer, who was also quoted with re-
gard to the Presidents message on the
Venezuelan dispute in way that has

ing him liable to official action. Admiral
Raine will be called on for an explanation
He resides in Brooklyn and Admiral Roe

p A Nice Calculation.

An engineer has pointed out that
one inch OF rain falling upon an area
of one square mile is equivalent TO
nearly 17,500.000 gallons weighing
las, 200.000 pounds. or 72,6OO tons.
Assuming this water to have fallen
from clouds about half a mile, or
say 5000 feet high. we have for the
energy represented by it about 1000
horse power With pumping ma
chinery working at the low rate OF
consumption OF two pounds of coal
per horse power per hour it would
take 200 gross tons of coal to raise
the water represented by one inch OF
rain on square mile to the assumed
height of 5000 feet. AS a matter OF
fact, rain often falls from clouds
which are at much greater height
than 5000 feet above the ground, so
that the figures just given are quite
conservative ones.
