German, the author of the amendment.
rose to withdraw it and said: The
members of the committee on appro-
priations were aware of the fact that
attempts made in both branches to dis
pose of this financial question have all
resulted in no legislation whatever.
Having been compelled toascertain as
best we could the exact condition Of
the treasury, and having taken into
account the appropriations OF this ses-
sion, we believe it to be our highest
duty to give the Senate the opportunity
to determine whether additional pow
ers sshould be given to the Secretary Of
the Treasury to meet the deficiency.
1t is evident from the course Of the
debate to day and from the remarks
that have been made by Senators on
this side of the chamber, and who, |
take it, spoke after consultation else
where, that is not desired. We
are confronted with the statement
made by the distinguished chairman
of the finance committee, Senator
Voorhees, whose judgment is that adj
ditional provision for the treasury IS
not necessary Statements have been
made by other Senators that they Will
persist in discussing the entire fnan-
cial programme. which discussion
might not end before the 4th of March.
With the sudden conversion which
appear to have taken place, as sudden
as those we read Of in sacred history
and which amaze some Of US on this
side of the chamber, we have lost the
active support of these gentlemen and
are left to deal with the question
alone. All this makes it necessary
that look the facts plainly in the face.
Beyond this bill stand the legislative
appropriation bill, henaval appropria-
ton bill, the general deficiency bill.
In view of the determination of Sena-
tors on both sides and with view to
facilitate the business of the session |
am instructed by the committee on ap-
preparations, not changing our views
as to the necessity OF the amendment
to withdraw it. y
Senator Allison said that he concur
red in the action of the Senator from
Maryland. The German amendment
was thereupon withdrawn.
Senator Mills, Democrat, of Texas,
offered an amendment repeating all
laws that authorize the Secretary of
the Treasury to sell United States
bonds for any purpose whatever.
A point of order was made by Sena-
tor Aldrich, Republican of Rhode Is
land, and was sustained by the Vice
President. So Senator Mills's amend
ment was excluded.
Senator Mills admitted that the rul-
ing of the Chair was correct; but the
time would come, he said, and come
before long, when the question would
be presented in such a way that 1t
would not go out on point of order.

A Physician Shot.

RALEIGH, n. c., Feb. 2S.-A special

one of the Oldest and best known ply

bad feeling existing between the par

THE CHAMPION COTTON CROP.
Twenty-one Bales of Cotton on Twelve
Acres Of Land.

Acres Of Land.
To the Editor of The News and Cou-
| rier: As many inquiries have been
| made to me concerning my crop OF
cotton made last year, and as l am al
| ways glad that others may profit by
my success or failure, I have decided
to put statement of the same in the
columns of your valuable paper for
the benefit of all who are interested.
The twelve acres of land from which
I gathered the twenty-one bales Of cot
ton, averaging four hundred and fifty
one pounds, last year, is part of a
tract of land formerly consisting of
thirty-two acres. When I commenced
farming on it several years ago sup
pose it would grow not more than six
hundred pounds ofseed cotton per acre.
I divided it into tracts of sixteen acres
each, and at once l commenced ro-
tatlon of crops, viz, first cotton, fol-
lowed by oats, then peas, then cotton
again, always and only manuring the
cotton crop with compost consisting
Of stable manure, cotton seed, acid and
kainit, until had worked it up to
producing very easily with ordinary
seasons bale of cotton per acre. "Of
this land I only had the twelve acres
cultivated in cotton.
commenced in the month of Feb
ruary by ploughing out the stalks of
the year before with one-horse
straig ght shovel plough, going twice in
each row, forward and back again :;
into this furrow I put my stable ma
nure, three two-horse loads per acre,
no other fertilizer being used, except
one acre on which I used a sack of sol
uble guano, the stable manure supply
being exhausted. I used manure
from my own stable as far as it would
go, then bought from livery stables. l
listed upon this as soon as possible. 1t
was about the 18th of March. I fin
ished the entire preparation Of the
land about the middle of April and
commenced planting about the 10th of
the month. Seed used was what I had
been improving for several years, now
known as Whites improved" "
The rows averaged three and half
feet, the cotton being more or less OF
the cluster variety; wider rows was
not necessary. Early maturity and
fruiting from top TO bottom is char

had pretty fair stand on all of it
except one acre which had some skips.
We had very little rain from the time
of planting until the 1st of July, but
enough for the cotton to come up and
grow slowly, consequently had very
little trouble with grass. Only one
hoeing was necessary, except chopping
out punches of grass after laying by
the crop with the plough. The rains
began in earnest about the 1st of July
and were seasonable until in Septem
Der. Commenced picking on the 1st
of September and finished on the 18th
of December. In ploughing the crop
I used a side harrow first, the other
ploughings with astraight shovel with

Terrible Nina Disaster.

! CERR-LLOS, N. M, FeD. IA QlS-
astrous mining accident was reported
from White Ash, three miles from
here, this afternoon. At p. M, eleven
bodies had been taken out The acci-
dent occurred this morning in the
mines of the Santa Fe Company. It
was caused by an explosion. At that
hour, the employees at the entrance to
the mine heard terrific roar, followed
by the ground trembling. A dense
volume of smoke poured from the
entrance, making it impossible to en-
ter until it had partially cleared. The
first body recovered was that Of dri-
yer, who was near the mouth when
the explosion took place. Judging
from his fate.there is little hope for any
in ..the mine. Over half of the men
employed in the mine have families
and they are gathered around the
mouth of the mine in dire distress.
The first 1ntimation of the disaster was
a muhed roar ano clouds of smoke
and dust rolling from the mouth of the
mine. Nearly 200 men are employed
in the mine, but only fifty were at
work :snen toe explosion occurred:
Only eleven of them escaped alive and
some of them may die yet. Twenty
eight dead bodies have been taken from
the mines and it is doubtful if those
remaining are alive. Ralays of men
have been working heroically all day
to reach those who arestill imprisoned
in the mine, but little progress can be
made on account Of the gas, which
permeates every shaft and overpowers
the workers in a short time Up to 4
o'clock those on the inside could be
heard trying to work their way out
from the cave-in, but as nothing has
been heard since then, the imprisoned
men in all probability have succumbed
to the deadly gas. The scene at the
shaft after the explosion was heart
rending. Men cursed, while women
cried and prayed for their fathers, hus-
bands and brothers, who were entom-
bed alive Or brought up dead. One
woman, supposing her husband to
have been killed, tried to commit sui
eide by throwing herself in front of a
moving train Her husband was af-
terwarc. rescued alive and the reaction
from insane grief to delirious joy was
nearly fatal. The mine was known
to be badly ventilated and full of bad
air and gas, and a catastrophe of this
kind has been frequently predicted. A
bill was introduced in the New Mexico
Legilature this afternoon to appropri-
ate S., 900 for the relief of the widows
and orphans. It will probably pass.
The cause of the explosion is not yet
known and the facts are hard to get.
All the efforts of men in the vicinity
are being put forth to iberate those
imprisoned in the mine.

ernment admitted, and as he had only
been invited to cooperate with the
powers on the subject, he had decided
not to oppose the resolution. Cheers
The parliamentary bimetalist COM
lnittee, Immediately after Sir William
Harcourt had announced his accept
ance of Mr.. Everett's motion, tele-
graphed to the Berlin Bimetalist
League, asking it to urge upon Prince
Hohenlohe, the German Chancellor,
the expediency of opening negotia-
tions for a monetary conference at
Berlin. The league responded with a
telegram congratulating the English
bimetalists upon the success of Mr..
Everett's motion. The c@;nion pre-
ails in the lobby that an information
al conference on the subject is as
sured.
The Daily News says that it greatly
regrets the decision of the government
to accept Mr. Everett's proposal in re-
gard to the monetary question. Be
! lieving that bimettalism would be in
furious, if not fatal, to British CON-
! mercial supremacy, it cannot help
fearing that the acquiescense of the
ministers means a renewal of negoiia-
tions from which no useful result can
be expected, and which may stimulate
and encourage fallacious and perni-
cious movement. Nevertheless, the
: News rejoices that Sir William Har-
court made it plain that the cabinet
adheres to the settled financial policy
of the United Kingdom.
The Standard says: We are absolute
ly bound not to swerve from the gold
standard, nor can we afford to give
the smallest color to the supposition
that we are likely to relax the whole
some rigidity of this rule. But as far
as can be accomplished without the
impairment of this principle, it is ur-
gently to our interest to promote
steadiness in the comparative value
OF the two metals. Sir William Har-
court, therefore, wisely spoke in sym
pathy with the projected conference.
Nothing is likely to result from it, but
it would have been ungracious and
impolitic to exclude. any suggestion
offering the faintest glimmer Of hope.
