THE COTTON OUTLOOK.
Svhst New Orleans Authority Thinks Of
the Situation.

Yesterday the price Of cotton dropped
below &c per pound for middling, that
xrade being quoted at $3.50. This is
she lowest price reached in forty years
except during the season Of 1894 95,
vhen the record crop-9, ,90l 900 bales
vss produced.
Tho reason for this low level Of val.
ues Is the general belief on the part Of
SINNERS, both at home and abroad, in
crop Of Is least 10, ,000, 600 bales. Mr..
Henry Neill. upon whom foreiga spin
ners place great reliance, has recently
announced his belief In a crop 10,3O0,-
coo bales. With such a crop spinners
believe that supplies will be more than
enough to 60 around, hence there is q
strong disinclination to buy except at
very low prices.
As to the probable size Of the crop
there is really great difference Of opin-
lon among operators in this country.
The large crop ideas have many advc-
Gates, but then again, there are as
many who are confident that the yield
will fall very far short Of the 10000, 1000
bale mark, and these naturally are on
tho lookout for very sharp reaction
from existing low prices.
At all events, 1t Is evident that the
market has about reached bottom fig
ures. Even the bears, who have per-
sistently hammered the market for the
past six weeks, show some hesitation,
fearing, and with reason, that prices
have now touched point when a re-
action would be most natural and is to
be expected.
It should be remembered that the
season commenced with spinners prac-
tically bare Of supplies, and it is evil
dent that they have not yet commenced
to make up the deficit. When, there
fore, they realize that the market has
about touched bottom there will be a
v.ry active demand to replenish stocks
at the low prices. This demand, which
will be very heavy, is sure to cause
very sharp upward turn in values. 1t
is Just such result which the more
prudent bears fear, hence they are be-
Icominu very cautiOus.
1t is much to be desired, in the in
terest Of the farmers that u reaction in
values may soon take place. At exist
ing figures in the leading markets cot
ton is barely worth SC on plantations.
At that figure there is very little mar
gin for profit for the farmer. The
season OF le94-95, when the O,0O0, ,OOO-
bale crop was produced, was very un-
profitable for the farmers, and from
present indications they are likely to
witness a repetition of the experiences
OF that season unless speculation should
come to their assistance and force con-
sumel to come into the market and
buy cotton more freely than they have
vet done. New Orleans Picayune,
Oct, 10.

HAWAII DECLINES.
Japanese Immigration Treaty Is Not
Satisfactory.

Japanese Immigration Treaty Is Not
Satisfactory.
The tension between Japan and the
Hawaiian Government has been increas-
ed. Settlement of the immigration dis
pute is blocked and no one now ventures
an opinion touching the outcome. The
Dole government has put it's foot down
against accepting a treaty formulated by
Count Okuma for arbitrating the affair.
This convention is all on Japan's side and
practically commits the Government Of
Hawaii to the position that it has erred
in preventing the landing of Japanese
coolies. Minister of Foreign Affairs
Cooper had rather exciting interview
with the japanese representative, Mr..
Shimamura, touching the demands Of the
mikado. The japanese minister was in
formed that there must be material mod
ification Of the treaty before 1t would be
acceptable to President Dole and to his
cabinet. In fact, Japanese newspapers
predicted that the treaty as drawn up ut
Yeddo would be laughed to scorn in Hon.
olulu. Minister Hatch has sailed, carry
ing important information to President
Mckinley.

WRECK ON THE RAIL.
a TERRIeLE DISASTER ON THE
NEW york CENTRAL.
Fast Express with Load Of slumber-
ing Passengers Makes nm Awful Leaf
Into the Hudson Goes Over the EN-
bankn,ent TO Destruction. h.t,



A disastrous railroad accident occurred
on the New York Central and Hudson
River Railroad, short distance below
Garrison's station, early Sunday morning
The train was the State express, due In
New York ut 1870 o'clock, and was made
up Of engine No. S72, combination bag
gage and express car, smoker, two ordi-
nary passenger coaches and four sieepers,
in charge Of Conductor Parish.
The train left Albany at 3:15 o'clock, on
time, and was going at a good rate OF
speed when it passed Garrison's. 1t was
mile and half below there when the
accident occurred. Conductor Parish says
the track seemed to fall ont from under
the train, the train seemed to shoot into
the air, and the next minute it appeared
to fall into the river. Into the waters or
the Hudson the cars plunged, dragging
through the water theShelpless passengers.
There was nothing to presage the terrible
accident which so suddenly deprived SO
many human beings Of life.
Two cars were left on the track. The
engine did not stop until it lay submerged
fifty feet below the surface. The two for
ward cars followed and were piled upon
the engine. The smoker and two follow
ing ordinary cars broke from the train
and ran some distance along the bank and
then into the water. Two of the sleeping
cars ran into the river, but fortunately
were left only partly under water, the
windows toward the shore being left
above the surface. First reports gave the
total number of known dead at nineteen;
the estimated number, twenty-eight.
+ Neither engineer nor fireman will ever
tell the story Of that terrible moment, for,
with his hand upon the throttle, the en-
gineer plunged with his engine to the
river bottom. and the fireman, too, was at
his post. Behind them came the express
car, the combination car and the sleepers,
and these piled on top of the engine. Ii
is known that it was a tritie foggy and
that the track was not visible, but If there
was any break in the lines of steel it must
have been of very recent happening, for
only an hour before there had passed over
it heavy passenger train laden with hui
man freight.
The section Of road was supposed to be
the very best on the entire division. There
was great heavy retaining wall all along
the bank, and, while the tide was high
Sunday, 1T was not unprecedented. What
seems to have happened was that under
meath the tracks and ties the heavy wall
had given way and when the great weight
Of the engine struck the unsupported
tracks it went crashing through the rest
Of the wall and toppled over into the river.
AS the train plunged over the embank-
ment the coupling that held the last two
OF the six sleepers broke and they miracu-
lousy remained on the broken track. In
that WAY some sixty lives were saved

Says More Soldiers Are Needed to

Gen. Miles, commanding general of the
army, has made his annual report to the
Secretary of War ut Washington. He
commends the efficiency of the army and
speaks of the progress that has been made
on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts in
the matter Of Notifications. He asks that
Congress authorize two more regiments
OF artillery to garrison the new fortifica-
tons, and also FIVE additional regiments
of infantry. The general devotes consid
cradle attention to Alaska, and says that
the waters of Alaska should be thoroughly
examined by the naval forces, and that
there should be at least three military
posts established in the territory to sup
port the civil authorities. He refers to
the improved conditions of the Indians,
and recommends that the policy of em-
ploying army officers as Indian agents be
continued. He makes recommendations
In detail for the protection Of coast points
and says the maximum peace footing Of
the army should be one enlisted man to

one to every 1000.

Aided fron Outside - Perfect epoci-
mens OF the colner's Art.
Warden D. g. Wright Of III RivcFside
penitentiary ut Rittsburg has discovered
that a number of the convicts confined In
the institution have been manufacturing
counterfeit 60-cent pieces. He has I'M
earthed the metal from which the queer
money was made, the molds In which II
was cast and the names Of several con-
victs who were connected with the mat
ter, but as yet he has been unable to find
the man who originated aud carried out
the scheme. The counterfeits are mag
ni6cent specimens OF the coiner's art. The
die from which they were made Is almost
perfect, and the milling of the coins.
which Is the Governments chief protec-
ton of metal money from those who
would initiate II. Is as near perfect as II
Is possible for human ingenuity to make It..
The counterfeiters had already secured a
connection with outside parties and some
OF the bad money Is now in circulation.
Warden Wright has list of nearly a
score Of convicts and other persons sup
posed to be connected with the counter
feiting, and when the full story Of the
crime comes out 1t Is said there will be
some sensational developments.
