New York, October 1.-THE Daily
Dry Goods Record tomorrow will say:
Working on those lines by which such
close estimates to the actual cotton
crops or the last two years were OBJ
tanned. the figures just now obtained
indicate a crop for 1898 which varies
from 1888, 7SS bales to 9.371 ,532 bales OF
800 pounds each. For the last crop. OF
1862, our estimate was 1922, 901 bales,
against S,714,011 bales as the actual re-
turns, while the estimate for the pre-
vious year, or 1885, was 7,f42. 900
bales compared with 1882 73 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 SUBJ
mitted with a degree Of confidence that.
barring nexpecte happenings, the
yield for 1S97-'9s, will not exceed the
maximum figures of 9,371, 522 bales of
500 pounds each.

The Gallant Rescue Of Her Crew
The two masted schooner Naomi
which was stranded on the reef in
Moore's inlet, at Wrightsville beach, on
Tuesday afternoon, foated at high tide
yesterday morning and drifted into the
banks channel Of Wrightsville sound,
on the side mex to Mr.. Sol. Bears cot
tage. The masts are level with the wa
ter and point toward Wrightsville. It
is believed that the vessel car be saved,
if proper steps are taken
The Naomi had on a cargo Of 81
barrels of kerosene oil and 4 drums of
naptha, loaded here on the 28th of Sep
TENDER by the Standard Oil company
for shipment to Beaufort, N. G. All
the cargo with the exception of one bar
rel of oil vas saved owing to prompt
n active steps taken by Mr.. w. r.
BarkSdale, OF the Standard
Oil cOmpany,a at it's plant in this city. It
was a curious thing to see the big iron
drums of naptha floating in the water
after they were taken out of the vessel.
Captain Oscar Grant, superintendent
Of the Wilmington Seacoast railroad is
loud in his praise of the boats crew
that saved Captain Peter Peterson and
the two men who were on board the
wrecked vessel. When Captain Grant
heard the vessel was in distress, he was
at home on the Wrightsville side and
he sent his little son for Church Hines,
the cOlOred fisherman, who lives near
Captain James Macumber's store.
Hines was leaving home but hearing the
little boy call for him he went back to
see what was wanted. When he aScer-
tanned that the vessel was in distress
he got his crew together pulled across
the sound and out of the inlet rowed
right up to the wrecked vessel, that
the men in the rigging were able to get
into his boat. One of the men saved
was CIR townsman Mr.. Dick Groom,
who VS. going to Beaufort. 1t was
believed hat the boat could reach
the vessel, as the breakers were dash
ing about ten feet high over her deck
around the maSts. A smaller boat had
attempted to reach her but the sea
was so rough she could not get out.
Captain Hines and his crew, who were
John Lewis and Archie Moore, are all
colored fishermen, and are expert boat
men. When they got to the men in
the rigging they were looking destruc-
ton in the face and the rescue was
timely. 1t was about 9 o'clock at night
when the rescue was made, making the
act all the more hazardous and brave.
Captain Grant says Hines and his
crew deserve public recognition for
their skill n bravery and he intends
to solicit a public subscription for them.
The Messenger hopes he will be liber-
ally aided by all our people who ap-
preciate the brave deed of the colored
fishermen.

h socialist labor candidate for mayor,
opened his campaign at Cooper Union
tonight. In the large crop of mayor
atty candidates, Mr.. 5. MEL has been
almost lost sight of, yet he attracted
a bigger meeting than that which rati-
fled the nomination of General Tracey;
as big as that addressed by Seth Low
last Thursday night n almost as
large as the one which nominated Hen
~ George. Mr.. Saniel is a Frenchman
who writes some cutting things in
English, but his oratOry is not effective
because he has not mastered the pro-
nunciat3on of the language he writes so
well. The platform was decorated with

London, October ia dispatch to
The Daily Mail from Vienna says: The
trial of 200 brigands and receivers of
stolen property is proceeding at Tsch-
aischak, in Servia. The evidence has
revealed systematic plundering and
numbering of members of the liberal
party at the instigation of radicals.
Deputy Tajsitch, a well-known radical
member of the assembly was arraign-
ed as an accomplish of the brigands,
but the radical minister of justice pro-
cured his release and it is expected
that the same influence will secure the
~acquittal Of the others. The trial has
developed horrifying evidence of the
torturing Of victims with red hot irons
before robbery.

Madrid. October ia semi-oficial
statement. issued after the cabinet
meeting of yesterday, says that by en-
ploying native volunteers in Cuba in
stead of European troops the expenses
Of the campaign would decrease, and
the operations against the insurgents
would be conducted more rapidly.
Senior GullOn, the minister for for
eign affairs, has communicated to his
colleagues the views of the European
and American press in regard to the
new ministry, pointing out hat the
foreign newspapers are almost unani-
mOusly of the opinion hat the pro-
gramme of Senior Sagasta, the new pre-
mier Of Spain, has caused an impor-
tant change in the attitude of the
Washington cabinet, leading to the be-
lief that the decision On the Cuban
question will now enter upon a more
favorable phase and demonstration;
that the steps taken by the ministry
have had an excellent effect in showing
the government is choosing practical
means to solve the existing difficult
ties.
The minister for the colonies, Senior
Moret, announced at the cabinet meet
ing. with a view to proving the sim
certify of the governments promise to
grant autonomy to Cuba, that he had
telegraphed to Senior MontorO, the
leader of the autonomist party, asking
him to nominate candidates for ap-
pointment for some of the important
ports under the Cuban administration.

DR.. Mcmillan reported to the board

HE WOULDN'T TALK POLITICS.
w. j. Bryan, However Thinks Demo-
cratic Prospects Good.

NEW YORK, June 12.-SeYeral attempts
were made TO get William j. Bryan TO
speak about the local political situation in
New York while he was here to-day, but
he evaded them all. lie said he did not
care TO mix in New York city politics,
and he did not think it would be a proper
thing'for him TO 90 about the country and
tell people how TO run their local affairs
in every town. The Democratic party
had always stood for the people having
every community regulate its own af-
fairs. Besides, If he should try Ii diff
ferent course, he should only expose his
own ignorance. Tor a man could not learn
all about town simply by shaking hands
with a few hundred people.
Mr.. Bryan also avoided the discussion
of national policies, but he did say that
so far as he was able to judge from what
he had heard, the predicted return OF
prosperity had not come. He thought the
prospects for Democratic success next
fall were very good, ana there was a
large growth of silver sentiment here and
elsewhere.
Mr.. Bryan will go to Washington by
railroad, and then by boat TO Norfolk.
Va, where he is 10 speak under the au-
spices of the Chautauqua Club on Mon
day. On Tuesday he is TO be at Char
lottesville. There he is 10 deliver COM

On his way West he IS to speak at

trice, Neb. He is to be at his home. in
Lincoln, on June 9th, but two days later
he will push on for the far West. on

gon. and on July 18th he is to be at Salt

he is president. Mrs. Bryan and the chill
dren will join him at Salt Lake. and the

HAWAIIAN SUGAR RECIPROCITY.
Republican Senate Caucus-PrObabIe
Annexation of Islands.

WASHINGTON, June 12-The Republi-
can senators were IN caucus for two
hours to-day, and devoted the entire time
10 an effort TO agree upon n course Of
action to be pursued with regard 10 the
Hawaiian reciprocity clause in connection
with the sugar bill. Nothing was done,
however Senator Nelson of Minnesota.
led the fight I'm favor Of the abrogation
Of the Hawaiian treaty. He said that the
United States had paid S15W0,O00 only for
the Louisiana purchase. yet in tariff re-
missions on sugar alone. there had been
paid 100000 for Pearl Harbor.
Senator Frye made a vigorous defence
Of the treaty, and OF the policy Of main
tanning the closest sort Of relations with
Hawaii. which had been settled and civil
lied by Americans.
Senator Davis also spoke In defence
Of the treaty going into a detailed argu-
ment to show that the relations between
this country and the Hawaiian Islands
should be maintained upon the present
reciprocal basis.
There were frequent references TO the
probability Of new treaty for the an
nexation Of Hawaii. and it seemed to be
quite generally understood that such a
treaty was included among the POSSIBLE
ties for the near future. There appeared,
however, TO be no definite information as
10 the utldllS, anu the ItAGltHEto Ntic
very general in character. No one as
sumed TO speak for the President on this
point. but, so far as anything was said
1t was apparently based upon the sup
position that the President was prepared
to enter into negotiations looking TO
placing the islands under the protection
Of the Stars and Stripes, as a part of
the United States. Senator Frye re-
ferred once or twice to the possibility
Of annexation, and Senators Thurston and
Nelson. who strenuously opposed the
continuance Of the present treaty, In ef-
feet announced themselves as prepared
TO consider favorably the question Of
annexation on basis that would be re-
ciprocal, whereas they contended that
the present treaty is entirely one-sded
in its advantages. Senator Thurston con-
tended that the best way to insure an
nexation would be through abrogation of
the existing treaty.
At the afternoon caucus, after consider
ing the Hawaiian reciprocity provisions,
IL was decided TO refer the matter, to-
gether with various propositions which
had been submitted to the Republican
members Of the Committee on Finance,
to formulate proposition which will be
submitted 10 a future caucus. if not
satisfactory TO all.
