large from Ohio to the Chicago CON

Allen w Thurman, of Columbus; Hon.
Geo. w. Moore, of Stark county, and
Gen. Il. b. Finley, of Bucyrus.
There was division of sentiment
and hot debate, following in the de-
feat of this proposition and the de-
termination to stand for principles in
stead of men. 1t was decided to use
every effort to send enough silver dele
gates to the State convention to carry
CATION to Chicago
tion to Chicago.
Before adjournment formal State

The INDIANA NOT DocKED.
The Great BattIeship Claimed to Be in
Perfect Condition.

Port Royal, S. c., March 14.-The
Indiana was not doclxed to-day. The
vessel requires at least 25.4 feet in the
dock and there were only "a feet in
sight. There was light easterly
wind but not sufficient to keep up a
high tide. The reports tonight are
that the Indiana is likely to be docked
in the morning the wind having chang
ed to strong easterly. Capt Evans is
by no means certain, however, that the
docking viii take place at that time
and, if it does not take place to-mor-
row it viii be two weeks before the
tide will be at spring tide. Everything
is in readiness for the docking and the
authorities are anxious for the event.
There is, however, no need to run any
chances as the Indiana has plenty of
time. Capt. Evans reports the Indiana
in fine condition. When the battleship
is placed i'm the dock she viii receive
her first cleaning since she left the
ship-yard.

REPORT OF THE COTTON CROP.
The Government Estimates to be Issued
To-Morrow.

Washington, March 14.-The report
on the cotton crop of 1895, which will
be issued by the Department of Agri-
culture on Monday, will no doubt be
the most thorough and exhaustive
statistical research ever undertaken
by the Department so far as that crop
is concerned. All the railroad and wa
ter transportation companies in the
South, without exception, have made
returns of monthly shipments from
the States of production; every cotton
and woolen mill, with one or two in
considerable exceptions, has reported
to the Department its monthly pur-
chases; and the services of over ten
thousand townships and precinct
agents, five or more in every cotton
growing county have been engaged to
ascertain the amount of cotton remain
ing on hand February 1st on planta-
tions, stored in warehouses, at public
gins, at steam compresses and at rail-
way depots and yards.
This method of estimating the cotton
crop was undertaken for the first time
last season, but the Improvements this
year applied have been so general and
so decided. it is believed, as to make
the forthcoming estimate substantial
ly correct.
