Ehc Cotton Market.

At las: the cotton market ut
home and abroad begins to show
some mprOvcmeut. In New York
the price for this month has gone
over 6 cents and runs to 81 cents
for future deliveries.
This advance is not 30 much q

planters Of the South. The strike

this strike will do much to develop
cotton manufacturing. in the
South. To check this it is pro-
posed to have q national law es-
tabllshlng uniform hours Of labor.
1t will not avail, but it will make
change in n grert industry.
This means much IN general
way to the South, but the cotton
planter cares little whether the
raw material be manufactured IN
New England or North Carolina;
with him the price is the thing.
The price Is in the hands Of the
producers Of tho South. Laws
cannot control in this matter, and
no Tariff can protect the Southern
farmer. But he can protect him.

South by it's crop fixes the prices.

BLOWN UP FROM BELOW,
Evidences Before the Court Of In
quiry Claimed TO be known TO
The New York Herald.

New lOrE,fenrnarT 25.-A dis
patch to tn" Herald from ll4y"ra
says: There 1. no lon-v" .ny rsa-

and played a much smaller part
in the general disaster thua was
2t first supposed.
The evidence that has served ~
convince the board was nhta;a.3
by Ensign Powels"n. an officer at-
tachcd to the Fern.
Mr.. Powelson Sas formerly i'm
the construction corps. and tool, a
two years, speCi"l course in r',n
Glasgow School of Naval Arrni.
lecture. He is, therefore. com
petemt witness. What he dis.
covered was that the forward part
OF the keel of tho Maine, with it's
RIBS and plates, was stove inward
so far that parts Of the shattered
double bottom show out 'of the
water, and in places sections Of
tho green painted outer hull are
visible.
Corroborative ofevldence given
by Ensign Powelson, and of equal
significance and Importance, Is
the result Of tho close examina-
ton made by the divers. What
thew found indicated that the ex-
plosion came from a point beneath
the keel. A plumb line dropped
from a point just forward of the
coming tower would have laid
the lead exactly on the spot whore
tho explosion occurred that stove
the keel and ribs almost to the
surface. The main force of the
explosion seems to have been ex-
ceedingly slight on the port side
OF the vessel. This is consistent
with the facts hitherto ascer-
tanned.
Collectively these now indicate
that the contents Of the reserve
siX-inch magazine We're exploded
by the initial blast.and there was
no explosion in either OF the other
two. In the reserve magazine was
slowed $500 pounds of powder in
copper tanks, each of which con-
tanned 200 pounds.
Seven of the tanks have been
found by the divers,a in crushed
and shapeless masses. 1t is i'm
portant to note that in the six.
inch and ten-inch tanks recovered
the excelsior used for packing the
charges shows no injury from
flame or gases. The powder slowed
in the slX.inch reservoir magazine
was for saluting purposes only.
The magazine itself appears to
have been utterly DESTROYED. ONLY
few traces boing left to show
spot where it was once located.
The upper part of tho ten-inch
magazine is wholly inaccessible
to divers. !" the upper part is
tightly wedgel q mass Of powIer
cylinders, too heavy for divers 10
oXtricato, but apparently contain
ing exploded charges of powder.
The Dow torpedo tube Of the
Name has been located in the
wreck. 1t lies IN the debris for
ward submerpcd several feot
under water.
The hull is now imbcdded in
tho mud to the depth of eight
feet. The divers sink to their
armpits in the mud. and have the
greatest difficulty in prosecuting
their work. Those engaged in the
forward part Of the ship are under
the charge Of Gunner Charles
Morgan, an officer especially de-
tailed from the flag ship New
York for that purpose. and who
has the reputation Of being the
most efficient Of his rank.
