GEN. MILES SURPRISED.
He Has Heard Nothing of the Re.
ported War Preparations.:

w. ~ aU-
Washington. Jan. 2o.-Major General
Nelson A. Miles, commanding the
United States army states that he has
heard nothing of the extraordinary ru-
NOR t~elegraphed from Florida that the
state militia had been ordered out at the
request of the president Of the United
States as a preliminary to q probable
recognition of the Cnhc- Insurgents. If
any such order had been issued it would
of necessity pass through General Miles
hands.
Secretary Lamont had not reached
the war department up to noon today,
and therefore no authentic denial could
be obtained from him, but all the other
leading officials of the war department
united in d~iscrediting the sensational
JUNIORS sent out.
The statute OF the United States
which empowers the president to call
upon the military of any state In GER
tain emergencies was passed on the 28th
day of February, 1895. Its leading pro-
visions are incorporated in section 1912
of the revised statutes as follows;
whenever the United States are in
vaded or are in imminent danger of In
vasion from any foreign nation or Indl-
an tribe, or of rebellion against the au-
thority of the United States, 1t shall be
lawful for the president to call forth
such number of militia Of the state or
states most convenient to the place OF
danger or scene of action, as he may
deem necessary to repel invasion, or to
suppress such rebellion and to issue his
orders for that purpose to such officers
of militia as he may think proper"
1nasmuch as this section requires the
president to be first Informed of an sim.
minent danger of INVASION before taxi
ing action, and inasmuch as not one OF
the officials of the war department.
through whom the orders must be sent
has received the slightest intimation OF
any intention on the part Of the presi-
dent to call on the Florida militia or to
request that they be held in readiness,
the whole story is set down as an inag.
inatory production.

AMERICAN COTTON GROWERS

southern planters to a total of several
hundred assembled today in the large hall
If the Cotton exchange, for the purpose Of
protesting against the reports that had
been circulated. that it Is the intention of
The cotton growers to enormously increase
The cotton acreage and double the use of
commercial fertilizers the coming season,
which would result in the production OF a
crop of from ten to twelve million bales.
These reports, 1t is claimed. have been cir
sulated to induce the southern people to
sell the balance of the crop at the present
,ow figures. The convention will also take
action towards a decreased acreage for the
coming season, the general feeling being
favorable to q crop Of not more than T.
100000 bales.
In the opening speech today, President
Lane took much the same ground as COW
cred in his call for the convention. He
said that the south was Interested in pro-
tecting the value of its main commodity.
cotton; hat the trade was In a bondage as
oppressive ana ignomlnous as was ever IN
hicted by the czar; that the people of the
south could not continue to live prosper
ously and happily under so %tyrannical a
system, and that reform was absolutely
necessary. The speculative bears of New
Orleans, New York IL Liverpool We're
entirely responsible for the failure of the
planters to obtain remunerative prices for
the remaining portion of the crop. They
would be willing to see cotton selling at
4 cents, and would contribute their aid in
pressing it down to the lowest point, re-
CARELESS of the destruction and misery
hat would ensue throughout the south
under such conditions. Or the other hand
by q judicious decrease of acreage the
southern planter would ave the power to
depose these reckless despots and whole-
sale despoilers of prosperity by planting a
moderate crop and making a surplus I'M
possible. A small crop and high prices
would be infinitely more favorable to
planters than a large crop and nominal
prices. The mills of England, America and
the continent are running at full time, and
will need all the cotton in stock without
waiting for the next crop. Let 1t be known
that a decreased acreage was to be plant
ed and prices would go a-kiting.

ment between the co-pastors of the
First Presbyterian church, Rev. DR.. II.
Dewitt Talmage and Rev. Adolos Al
len, has been settled by the church ses-
sion calling for Mr.. Aliens resignation.
The church will honor the recent con
tract for Mr.. Aliens services up to o.
tober 1, next, but in order to avoid
future complications he has been asked
to tender his resignation as early as
practicable.
The committee appointed by the
Washington presbytery last Monday to
adjust the difficulty has been called to
receive formal notification of the action.
and doubtless will receive Mr.. Aliens
assurance that the arrangement Is sat

of q plan to have DR.. Talmage preach

to which his colleague objected.
DR.. Talmage now will hold forth twice
on Sunday.

Mr.. Vanderbilt Doesen't Propose to
Pay Alimony to His Former Wife
Now Mrs.. Belmont.
New York, Jan. 2.-Society has been
playing gently with q rumor for the last
few weeks, which. If circumstances are
to be taken as Indications. seems to be
founded on more than a modicum OF
truth. The story adds to the Vender-
bilt-Belmont complication. 1t is said
that Mr.. Vim. X. Vanderbilt is not at all
easy In his mind at the prospects of hav-
ing Mi. and Mrs. oliver Belmont live on
the money he provided a s aiimony to
his divorced wife. and In the house at
Newport, which he a given her as q
habitatlon for herself and her children
during the period Of her grass" widow
hood.
There Is a legal ferment in the air.
Lawyers have been consulted, and at no
distant date society may be astonished.
if 1t has not already been prepared for
it, by the warning of rumor, by a law
suit, in which Mr.. VIM. K. Vanderbilt
will be plaintiff and Mrs. Oliver Bel
mont defendant. BY the terms of set
Element Mrs. Belmont was to have $780,
900 a year for the supporter each child.
She has forfeited the amount sci aside
for her daughter by the marriage of
young woman to the duke OF Marl-
borough. She has now the two pms to
keep until they reach their majority.
Owing to the nature. of the suitafor dt-
vorce and Mrs. Belmont, then Mrs. Van
derhilt, being plaintiff, she obtained the
custody of her children the right to
remarry. The decision was against Mr..
Vanderbilt on the statutory grounds.
Hence it would be impossible for Mr..
Vanderbilt to claim his children, but as
to his maintaining alimony after his
wife has remarked is another question.
Friends Of Mr.. Vanderbilt have as
serted that he will fight his to the Bit
ter end, and unless some compromise Is
made q lawsuit will be the result.
The Belmonts intend to sail for Eu-
rope some time during this week. They
have kept very quiet and 10 one knows
exactly the date of their departure. Mr..
Vanderbilt has postponed his from the
21st to the 2Sth, alleging important busi-
ness as the cause. Some romantic peo-
pie insist that his departure is deferred
because he and Miss Amy Bend may be
married during the interval. However.
it is h opinion of those who now that
his stay here is connected with The legal
proceedings in order to bring Mrs. Bel
mont to bay.
