COTTON SEED SCARCE.
The Output of the Oil Mills to BE
Much Smaller Than Last Yepr.

Baltimore, Jan. S.-The Manufacturer S
Record this week publishes reports from
nearly all the cotton seed oil mills
throughout the south, showing that the
decrease in the supply of seed has been
much larger than is generally under
stood, and that owing to this scarcity
nearly all the mills will close down for
the season very much earlier than usual
ly. These reports indicate with very gen
eral uniformity that the seed supply has
beell from 40 to so per cent. less than fast
year, and that a number of Texas mills
make the shortage even greater In the
first place. these letters, it is said. COW
ering every section of the cotton growing
region of the south, seem to conclusiVely
prove that the cotton crop must be fully
as short as government reports have indt-
Gated and secondly, that the supply of
oil and of cotton seed products will fall
far short of the average. indicating the
possibility of better values when these
facts become more generally understood
1t is, however, noted that a number of
oil producers state that owing to the
abundance of corn and hogs and the low
prices ruling for them, they do not look
for any material advance in cotton seed
products unless there should first come
higher prices for cotton and hogs.

A CHANGING ESTABLISHED.
Arrested for a Crime Committed a
Dozen Years Ago.

Valdosta, Ga, Jan. 8.-The convict ques-
ton is about to be settled. so far as
Lowdnes county is concerned, though the
county will probably have to go to a large
expense to effect the settlement. The
county commissioners, at their meeting
yesterday, decided to establish a county
chain gang, and to use all the county
victs on the public roads Of the county.
The present arrangement will be to con-
fine the convicts in a section of the new
Jail at nights and to work them on the
roads during the day. The change of sys-
TENS will cost the county good deal, but
it appears to be the only outlet from the
embarrassing position in which the au-
thorities were placed by the supreme
courts decision. 1t is probable that
Messrs. McRee & Son, the former lessees
of the county convicts, will keep all of
those the now have, provided

of the convicts had rather remain where
they now are, as they are getting better
treatment than many of them had before

Washington. Jan. SIN response TO the
Quay resolution, requesting Information
as TO whether the navy department deem
ed 1t advisable TO build six battleships.
instead of The two authorized by the
last congress ON the basis Of the bids
submitted for these two. Secretary Her
bert sent 10 the Senate to-day long
letter on the subject. After informing
the Senate that contracts for both the
battleships authorized have already been
awarded to the Newport News Shipbuild-
ing and Drydock Company. the secretary
says the department does not deem il
advisable to recommend that any bids
received and not accepted should be fur
Their considered because II sees no rea-
son why, if other ships are now author
lied, the building of them should not
be also open TO competition. Since the
departments plans for battleships have
been completed, and as all the contractors
in the United States have had opportu-
nifty to inspect these plans, and as they
have been examined by all those able to
build the ships, the secretary thinks there
seems to be no reason why any delay
should occur in letting out contracts for
the now ships to be authorized by this
congress. II an advertisement for new
bids FOR hattlcships were issued, he says,
ten days from the date thereof for re-
ceiVing and opening the bids would give
ample time and opportunity for compe-
tition. Under such an advertisement. the
department would also, as in like cases
heretofore, call for bids upon plans OF
bidders, and any plans heretofore pre-
pared by bidders might be submitted upon
the new bids.
The secretary calls attention to the
fact that in his recent annual report he
recommended that three additional bat
tleships be authorized; and he says the
department would be glad to have au-
thOrity to build four such ships as con-
for torpedo boats 6, Z and have also
been examined by contractors and the Sec
rotary sees no objection to making con-
tracts for the additional torpedo boats
recommended in his annual report on the
basis of these plans. Bids for these could
also be opened on ten days notice.
Concerning "A probability that congress,
provided 1t authorizes twelve or more
torpedo boats. would limit the number
which one firm might be permitted to
construct, the secretary recommends that
the lots into which each individual bid
der's share be divided, should not he too
small, for the reason that the larger the
number of boats secured by one firm, the
cheaper the price for each will be He
granted to build these vessels of various
sizes.
