Paris, March 3.-The Figaro, in its com ments upon the situation as between Spain and the United States, says that although President Cleveland is not the man to recoil from a conflict with Spain should his electoral interests require such step, he will nevertheless resist the ex- citement which congress has stirred up American statesmen, the Figaro says, would do well not to exasperate Europe with the Monroe doctrine. It is certain that Spain will not give way, and it is difficult to see the benefit that the United States would derive from a war.
 The Matin says the United States sen ate has aroused the legitimate indiSna- tion of Spain, but expresses hope that the Spanish will not compromise their just cause by useless provocation. Their noble solicitude for their national honor just cause by useless provoc ation. Their ought not to impel them to extreme dlcls- ions whereby their interests would suffer- The Americans are accuStomed to these superb declarations, but they often have no effect, as in the cas- of Venezuela.
 The Estaffete trusts that President Cleveland will reflect before he proclalms the independence of Cuba. Spain, the paper says will not allow herself 10 De intimidated by the arrogance or the Americans.

Enp1ish Opinions.


 London, March 3.-The St. James Ga- zette regards the language of the Amerl- can house of congress as more proVoca- tive than the disturbance in Barcelona Spain is confronted with the declared hostility of the representative bodies or the American nation, and will lose no time in replying thereto. Spaln, the Gazette says, deserves the sympathy or Europe and will doubtless get it. II war should result the jingo politicians may De surprised, as nowhere outside the United States are the Americans likely to find any support for their unlimited policy Of aggression.
 The Westminster Gazette says the reso- lution of the American house of repre- sentatives goes further than that of the senate, and is calculated to increase the excitement and indignation in Madrid and the other capitals of Europe. It Will also have the probable effect of array1ng the enlightened citizens of the United States against the jingoes. How much further" the Gazette asks, "is the pros titution of the democratic government for electioneering purposes to be allowed to go? The mad action of the American congress is steadily destroying not only respect for America abroad, but its in. fiuence in the conduct of foreign affairs.

SEA ISLAND COTTON
Calvet Courier.

IalNeI COURIER.
/ have recently had some corr
with II. u. Taylor &
Sons of Houston, through Mr.. Julian
Robertson, formerly of this place, in
regard to sea island cotton. Ny in
formation, condensed in as few
words as pcssib G, is:
/. That this cotton sells for about
two and a half times as much as the
kind now raised in this section.
.. That the plant is more hardy,
the cultivation the same, and the
yield equal to the short staple.
3. That the extra care required
in picking incie Uses the cost to
about 81 per hundred.
4. That it must be ginned on
roller gin and packed in smaller and
better protected bales-thus increas-
ing the cost of ginning to 81 per
hundred, lint.
5. That seed can be had for abont
81 (perhaps less) per bushel.
l have a sample of the cotton
grown in Montgomery county, Tex
as, now at my Office; also a few
(about what would be contained in
one bolD seed with the lint o. them,
both of which l will be glad to
show any one interested.
Now, of course the cultivation of
the long staple cotton here would
be somewhat of an experiment, but
il seems to me that if the planters in
this vicinity would plant say from
five to twenty acres each, or enough
of them to make in the ag gregate
say 300 acres, that it would be an
exceedingly thorough test of the
practicabiIity of its cultivation.
This plan would submit it to the test
of various evils. as well as methods
of cultivation, and at the same time
partial success, or even complete
failure, would injure no one serious
ly; while, if the results should
prove satisfactory, it would be quite
an addition of the resources of our
farmers. If there is enything good
going think we need it.
1t seems to me that small farmers
who pick and handle their own cot
ton should be particularly interested
in this cotton, as their care in pick
ing and handling would meet with
a good return.
Our gin men say that if the cotton
is raised they will be prepared TO
gin it.
do not plant cotton at all, but il
sufficient interest is manifested !
will plant five acres to help out the
experiment.
This is put forth as a feeler only
If it ELECTS no inquiry the matter
will drop with this; but would be
glad to show the cotton and somt
further correspondence and infor-
nation to any one interested

IS THE OLD GENERAL sOFTENING9
Report at New York That He Il Yielding to
Ballington's Demands.

New YORK, March 23.-Many were the
expressions Of surprise at the headquarters
OF the Salvation Army when the news
leaked out that Colonel William Eadie,
the chief secretary, had received a cable
message from General Booth ordering
him to London. One of the stipulations
that BallinSton made to the three com.
missioners to get him to withdraw was
that Colonel Eadie should go to London,
England and never return.
The officers of the Salvation Army and
the Volunteers, the name finally selected
by the secessionists, look upon this as
the first step taken by the old general to.
ward effecting a reconciliation with his
son. Booth-Tucker, the newly appointed
commander Of the United States forces,
who has already sailed from England, is
known to be the bearer of several propo.
sitions to Ballington Booth.
