The Cotton Estimate

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 crop for the past two years were obtained, the figures just now obtained indicate a crop for 1897-9S which varies from B. S53,75S bales ito 9.371, ,523 bales of 300 pounds each. For the last crop of 1S96- 97 our estimate was S,722,901 bales against S714,011 balss as the actual re turns show, while the estimate for the previous year of 1S95-96 was 7,142, ,000 bales compared with 7,162,473 bales. The close ness of thsse estimates to the actual re turns has stamped them with the inn print of correctness and for the current crop year our estimate is submitted with degree of confidence that, barring unexpected happenings. the yield for 1S97-98 will not exceed the maximum fig ures of 9,371 ,532 bales of 800 pounds 'each

We arrived at a. m. on Saturday and left at 8 D. rn. during which time the de- tectives did not leave the head of the gang plank. Just before the Seneca sailed, the chief of police, his deputy and his secretary, came aboard. Senor- ita Cisneros had escaped two days pre- viously, and yet they asked no ques- tions and made no search for her, all though on former occasions they had searched the Seneca from stem to stern and keel to promenade deck, while look ing for suspects.'
 Captain Stevens said that to the best of his Knowledge, the only persons who went aboard at Havana were the Las;ie family, the Del Real family eight China men and man, whose name appeared upon the advance passenger list as Juan Sola, and who must have had a pass port, otherwise he could not have gone aboard. When it was discovered mat Juan Sola"> was a girl, the "Juan' was changed to "Juana," and Miss Cisneros came in under that name.

LUETGERT FAILING UNDER THE STRAIN Attorney Ph0lan Makes a Very Strong
 Plea For Defendant. HE BRANDS AS PERJURERS Many of the States Witnesses Against
 His Client. TEARS DIMMED LUETGERT'S EYES As the Attorney Asked the Jury to Spare the Defendants Lifeline Two Luetgert
 Children in Court-Greetiog
 to Their Father.
HE BRANDS AS .PERJURERS
EARS DIMMED LUETGERT's EYES

Chicago. Oct. 13.-The entire day in the Luetgert trial was taken up by Attor- ney Phalen, who spoke for the d:fense. He made an impassioned plea for his client, assailed the policy of intimidat- ing the witnesses for the dsfense and denounced many of them who had ap- peared for the state as perjurers. He declared that the chain of circums tant.al evidence on which Assistant States At torney McEwen had dwelt at such length during his address to the jury was not chain of circumstantial evil dIence at all, but a disconnected story of distorted facts. He found flaws in the story as furnished by the state and declared that no jury of sensible men would for a moment think of returning a verdict of guilty on such evidence. He will continue to speak the greater part of tomorrow and will then be followed by Attorney Vincent for the defense, who will close the arguments in behalf of Luetgert.
 States Attorney Deneeg said today that he would not consume over fivs hours in his closing address for the state on Saturday.
 Adolph Luetgert shed tears this after noon when at the adjournment of court he took Have of his little sons. Early in the day Lue.gert showed emotion and his eyes were moist as Attorney Phalen pleaded with the jury to spare his eli ent's life.
 Luetgert is breaking down. This was 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. The giant sausage maker does not sleep we'll at night of late. The near approach of the date upon which he will know his fate has com pletely upset him by the anxiety it has
 
 brought him.
 One of the incidents of the morning session was the appearance in court of two of Luetgerts little sons. The lads had not been in court for several weeks. They climbed upon their fathers knees and he fondled them while Attorney Phalen orated. Assist ant Attorney Mo Ewen approached Judge Tuthill and qui- etly objected to the children being con- spicuously exhibited before the jury. Judge Tuthill ordered that they be sent to seats removed from the one occupied by their father. Tn loud tone of voice ex-Judge Vincent objected ito the re- moval of the children.
 "Oh, your objection is plain enough, and I will not permit it, retorted Judge Tuthill.
 q note an exception to the remaks of the court" said ex-Judge Vincent.
 'Very we'll, go on, MT. Phalen," or dered the court.
 But the Luetgert children were re- moved, and will not be allowed to play upon the sympathies of the jurors.

FORGERY PROOFS.

,San Francisco, Cal, May 26.-When
the trial of the Angus Craven case was
resumed Expert Gumbert tried to dem
onstrate by the aid of sheet Of gela-
tine that his theory that the alleged
Fair documents were not genuine was
correct.
Taking the word "bequeathed" as an
example, the expert traced 1T with a
stylus upon the gelatine from the or
iginal and rubbed the color into the
lines thus formed, producing perfect
fac-simile of the word as it was first
written in the will. This was placed
over the other "bequeaths" in the will.

two-thirds exactly and the other one
third closely. Gumbert declared that
such similarity could not possibly be
found in genuine writing and was in
his opinion indisputable.

MONEY ON A WRECK.

Port Townsend, Wash, May 26.-The
fate of the whaling schooner General
Siglin, which sailed from San Fran
cisco several weeks ago for Wood Is
land, Alaska, is no longer uncertain.
The steamer City Of Topeka from Alas
ka brings information that the dere-
lect schooner was sighted by the rev.
enue cutter Perry while on her way
north to Behring sea. The hull was
all under water but the bow. The
investigation revealed nothing in the
cabin but a few provisions with no
sign of the crew.
The Siglin is reported to be drifting
ashore and will probably eventually
find a resting place on the beach of
Queen Charlotte island. She was on
the island when sighted. 1t Is re-
ported that $1,000 in cash is in the
strong box of the schooner.

WHY GERMANY KICKED.

Constantinople, May 26.-The with
drawal of Germany's objection to the
collective note Of the Powers on the
subject of terms Of peace between Tur-
key and Greece is due to representa-
tions which the Powers, especially
Russia made to Berlin. Germany in
addition to Directing to sign the note
until Greece consented to abide by the
terms agreed upon, objected to the
clause, being opposed to the principal
indemnity being settled forthwith and
on a basis of present resources Of
Greece. This attitude upon the part
of Germany is attributed to a desire to
re-arrange Greek finances in a manner
giving better security to German bond
holders. Adhesion of Germany to the
action of the Powers in this respect
has greatly relieved the situation.

Other News.

New York, May "a dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says:
Extreme tension continues between
the political parties. Last nights Her
aldo defending Senior Segasta against
the insinuations made by the Conserv-
atives frankly exposes the deplorable
military situation in Cuba.
The Heraldo says that the whole
district of Gamaguara is in the power
of the rebels: that there is only one
Spanish column to operate over a dis
trict OF thirty-two thousand square
miles and that in the whole of the
eastern regions in Cuba the Spanish
troops have never yet set foot. 1t
calls the alleged "pacification of Gu
ba" a comedy.
The same paper further insinuates
that messages purporting to be from
Senior Dupuy de Iona protesting
against Senior Segasta, the leader of
the Spanish dissident Conservatives,
cause Of the effect produced in the
United States, was written by Conser-
vatives in Madrid.
Premier Canovas' words in the Cor
ties regarding the supreme necessities
of the fatherland were: Il shall my
self be governed by it before now,
without the aid of minorities."
Both Liberal and Silvelists have
stopped attending parliament.
Mr.Calhoun's attitude in regard to the
Ruiz investigation is causing uneasi-
ness and resentment here.
Senior Pidal, on behalf of the queen,
begged Senior Segasta to return with
his minority to parliament.
Senior Segasta, while thanking Senior
Pidal, refused absolutely. The minis
terial organ, La Epoca, says that the
present situation in Spain is the most
difficult she has been in for at least
fifteen years.
