SECRETARY BLISS FOR TRACY.
Did Mr.. Platt Make the Administration
Do This?

New York, Oct. 13.-A letter ad-
dressed to General Tracy, from Secre-
tary Cornelius n. Bliss, in Washington,
bearing on the present campaign, was
made public tonight In the letter Sec
retary Bliss says:
Il am most heartily in accord with
those who are working for your election
to the mayoralty of Greater New York.
II have not failed to announce my
position in conversation with friends,
but it has not until now seemed to me
best, in view of my position here, that
should take any public action. Now,
however, when the Republican party is
menaced by some of those who have
heretofore stood in the front ranks, it
seems proper that every voter who is
loyal to the principles of his party
should let it be known in no uncertain
way where he stands.
'The contest of 1896 has been re-
newed all over the country. If my friend,
Mr.. Low, had been nominated by, and
accepted the nomination of the Republi-
can party on its patriotic platform,
should, with others, have cheerfully re-
cognized his sterling personal qualities
and given him such support as l could,
but, in view of the great conspiracy of
1896 against the honor and safety of
our government, a conspiracy which is
again seeking success right in the city
of New York, l, with thousands of
others, who have been formally identi-
fed with the efforts for good city gov
ernment, can only find present success
for the desired end in the support of a
Republican who shall declare and stand
by Republican principles and policies,
whether in municipal or State affairs"

JURY FAILED TO ACRE
FIVE JURORS FOR C0NWCTiNG MRS. GOV.
ATKINSON OF F0GERY.
She Was on the Stand Ten Holrs--After
the Jury Disagreed They We're
Discharged.

Glenville, w. Va. Oct. 13.-The jury
in the famous ease of Mrs. Governor At
kinson, on trial for forging her former
husbands name, disagreed today and
was discharged by the court. The jury
stood seven for acquittal and FIVE for
conviction. 1t is not believed that the
case will be tried again. The arguments
and judges charge were, completed
at eleven o'clock last night.
Mrs. Atkinson had been on the stand
ten hours. Her testimony was general
denial of all the allegations charged in
the indictments. She did not waver from
the statement on croSs-examiDation that
all the receipts in controversy given to
Owens were written at the dictation of
Judge Camden in his life time and that
they represented what they show upon
their face. She insisted that all the 9th
er papers and transactions relied upon
by the State to show criminal intention
were genuine and instituted at the dicta-
ton of Judge Camden. She denied that
she had any interest whatever in the
Owens land, or that Owens had at any
time paid her money or any other thing
Of value. The cross-examination was
very rigid. Mrs. Atkinson's demeanor
upon the stand was modest and unassum-
ing. At the conclusion of Mrs. Atkin-
sons testimony at o'clock last evening,
the arguments commenced, the court al
lowing each side three hours. John s.
Withers opened for the State and fol-
lowed by w. w. Brannon, for the de-
fendant.
At the night session r. f. Kidd, Judge
Brannon and John Davis spoke for the
defense, and were followed by r. G.
Linn, who closed the argument for the
State. The courts instructions to the
jury We're impartial, and the case was
gwen to the twelve men. At 1:15 a. m.
the jury asked for instructions ON GER
tam clrcumstantial evidence. At 2:30
a. m. they had not agreed and the conrt
was adjourned until a. m. At $50 a.
m. the jury reported that they had fail
ed to agree and were dismissed. There
wer seven for acquittal and five for CON
viction.
There is a hint that the prosecuting
attorney will ask for nolle PROSE- ON;

The Prisoner Showed Much EA.uya-- Ttp
Tedious Trial Drawing toa
Close.

Chicago, HIS, Oct. 13.-y-The entire t1sEs
in the Luetgert trial was taken up by
Attorney Phalen, who spoke for the de
fense. lie made an impassiOned plea fer
his client, accused the police of intimi-
dating the witnesses for the defense,
and denounced many of those who had
appeared for the State as perjurers,
He declared that the chain Of cireuu~
stantial evidence on which Assistant
States Attorney McEwen had dweIt at
so great length during his address to the
jury was not a chain of circumstantisa
evidence at all, but fragmentarE CO..
fection of distorted facts. He found llaws
without number in the story furnished
by the State, and declared that ne Jury
composed of sensible men would for q
moment think of returning verdict OF
guilty on such evidence. He will con-
tinue to speak the greater part Of to-
morrow, and will then be followed by
Attorney Vincent for the defense, who
will close the arguments in behalf or
Luetgert States Attorney Deneen said
to-day that he would not consume over
i've hours in his closing address for the
State on Saturday.
Adolph l.. Luetgert shed tears this
court he took leave Of his little sons.
Early in the day Luetgert showed emp
ton and his eyes were moist as Attor
ney Phalen pleaded to the jury to spare
his clients life. Luetgert is breakius
down. This was the universal verdict
or those who have known and watched
the man during the two months of his
TRIAL The strain upon him is great and
at last his nervous system is weakening.

COTTON CROP ESTIMATED

This is the Statstcian'S 0pinIon--Th Pro-

New York. Oct. 13.--The Daily Dry
Goods Record tomorrow will say:
Working on those lines by which such
close estimates TO the actual cotton
crops OF the last two years were obtain
ed, the figures just now obtained in
dicate crop for 1S97-'9S, which varies
from S,953,7 bales to 9,371 ,;532 bales
of five hundred pounds each.
For the last crop of 1S96-'97. our es-
innate was S,722,901 bales against s.
14,01l bales as the actual returns,
while the estimate for the previous year,
or 1896, was 7142,00O bales compar-
ed with 7,162,473 bales. The closeness
Of these estimates to the actual returns
has stamped them with the imprint OF
correctness, and for the current crop
year our estimate is submitted with a
degree Of confidence, that, barring unex-
pected happenings, the yield for 1S97-9S
will not exceed the maximum figures of
9,311 ,532 bales of five hundred pounds

CRIMES BATTERY COMING.
Citizens of Raleigh Will This Morning
be Called on to Raise $75.

be Called on to Raise $75.
Grimes Battery from Portsmouth,
famous as a Confederate organization
during the war, has signifed a willing
ness to come to Raleigh during the
State Fair, paying their own trveling ex-
penses, provided the Governors Guards
viii entertain them while here The State
Fair has contributed $25 for this pur-
pose, but it will take $75 more to enter
tain them properly. They will be lodged
at the Governors Guards Armory. The
citizens will be waited on by a commit
tee Of the Governors Guards, also by
some old Confederate soldiers, and ask
ed to contribute to this purpose.
The necessary amount must be raised
by Friday night, as the Battery must
know what to depend on by Saturday
morning.
OF course so small an amount will be
raised this morning without any trouble.
The Battery will do much toward
making the Fair, and especially Confed-
crate Veteran Day, Wednesday, a sue
cess. There are several citizens here
who served in this famous company dur
ing the war. Capt Cary L. Grimes was
its commander. That gallant officer was
killed at the battle of Sharpsburg. Under
a different name the company had an
existence long prior to the war, having
been in the war of 1912, and possibly in
the Revolution. After the death of
