The New York Journal of Commerce
has sent a special correspondent on
tour through the cotton-factories OF the
South. 1t has been his purpose TO ascer-
tain If the South really has exceptional
advantages over the North from a manu-
featuring point Of view. His opinion is
that the differences have been exagge-
rated, but some OF his conclusions are
interesting. He appears to be more
pleased with Atlanta than with any other
southern manufacturing city. In the
course Of his last letter he says In speak
Ing of the way the factories there have
cut into northern sales:
Your correspondent took advantage OF

THE MAYORALTY CONTEST.
CharlottesviIIe's Defeated Candidate
VIII Not Contest the Vote.

CHARLOTTESVILLE VA, March s.
(Special.) -Ex-Mayor John s. Patton. who
was a candidate for the Office of Mayor,
and who was defeated at the recent
Democratic primary, entered a contest,
claiming that the majority returned
for the present Mayor, j. S. McCue. was
more than overbalanced by Illegal votes.
Mr.. Daniel Harmon, Mr.. Patton's at
torney, appeared before the Democratic
Committee and stated that while his
client would win the certificate of cleo
ton, 1t would be by margin Of only
a few votes, and would lead to party
discussions, for which his client was not
willing to be responsible. Therefore. at
Mr. Patton's request, he withdrew the
matter from the further consideration
Of the committee. The contestant was
present and addressed the committee,
stating that he was influenced by the
fact that to win by so narrow a majority
would leave his title in some doubt. and
he was unwilling to go into office unless
his right TO 1t was conceded by every

MORE TALK OF HOsTHITIEs.
Verdict of "NOt Guilty" I'm the Case
of Harrison.

WINSTON, N. c., March 5--(Special.)-
A gentleman who holds a government po-
sition in the navy was in Winston yester-
day, and. in conversation with a citizen,
he remarked that war between the United
States and Spain was almost inevitable.
He added that he and President McKin-
ley were schoolmates when boys, and
that he had conversation with him last
week, when the President admitted that
he thought there would be trouble, and
that verv soon.
The case of j. w. Harrison. charged
with killing Paul Stockton last December,
was given to the jury at o'clock Friday
evening. Judge Cobles's charge occupied
two hours. Three speeches were made for
the State, and three for the defendant.
They were the strongest, perhaps ever
heard in any case tried i'm this county.
The jury reached a verdict OF not guilty
at 7:l0 Fifteen minutes later the Judge,
Clerk of Court, Sheriff, and several others
walked into the courtroom, when the
verdict was rendered. On the first ballot
the jury stood eleven for acquittal The
twelfth man said his mind was not exact
ly clear on one point in evidence After
discussing this for a few minutes, he
went over 10 the eleven.

ton mountain, is entirely gone. The Ar
kansas river is 25 miles wide in places
and is now four inches higher than it
was in 1892, which was the highest on
record. All Thursday night boats were
busy in the bottoms rescuing the inhab-
itants. Thousands were rescued and it
is feared that many have been drowned.
Mulberry, Ark, May THE Arkan-
sas river and the Mulberry continue to
rise, having reached the high-water
mark of 1892, the highest on record.
Crops in the bottoms are totally de-
stroyed and great damage is being done
to life and property. All who can are
leaving the bottoms, but many are un-
able to get out at all. 7. Ivey, young
farmer near this city, was drowned
while endeavoring to swim his stock
to higher land. An entire family whose
names are not given were drowned near
Alma. Their house was washed away.
The river is still rising and the water
is backing over fields never known to

HAD A GOOD EFFECT,
The Victory mt Manila Serves TO
give an Impetus to Gem
ernl Trade.

New York, May 7-R. @, Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says: "a state of
war was so greatly dreaded by those who
have seen nothing like 1t for more than
30 years that Its coming has hurt less than
its apprehension, Especially since the vic
tory at Manila, which indicates the superb
ority OF the American navy, gun for gun,
expectations that the war will not last long
has Influenced all markets, and stocks have
advanced, the average of prices for rail-
roads $2.70 per share. The general condi-
tion of business has been materially i'm
proved One days work by the officers
and men at Manila has given many days
work to thousands OF people at home of
whom they knew nothing, and has placed
all American industries and interests on
stronger footing for any conceivable fu-
ture. The fact that gold is now used al
most exclusively between the treasury and
the clearing house indicates the entire free
dom from apprehension about the cur
rency or public credit
THE most sensational of all changes, and
the most practically important, has been
the rise in wheat-13 cents during one days
session, 21l2 cents from Tuesday to Thurs
day night, and 25R cents for the week
throwing into the shade all past advances
and all expectations, though reaction of
~ cents naturally followed on Friday The
remarkable rise on Thursday was largely
due to removal OF duties by France, and to
the prohibition of exports by Russia, both
showing the extraordinary needs abroad,
so that the rise of 25h cents for the week
Is not without excuse. Corn failed to ad-
vance correspondingly, though the exports
were 100000, against 2,275.043 last year, the
aggregate since July 1 having been lis. 900,
900 bushels larger than ever before to date,
although wheat exports have also been
larger than last year, far greater than
in ordinary years. and nearly the largest
on record.
Industries have received a wonderful
stimulus from the conviction that hostili-
ernment orders. Besides great demand fol
steel plates. and other iron products and
ammunition, the government has ordered
$500. 900 yards of wooden cloths. 1875 900 blan-
kets, 100000 yards cotton goods and great
| quantities Of provisions and other supplies
| and meanwhile reviving confidence has
| multiplied other demands.

A GRAVE CRISIS.
Apparently Rapidly Approaching I'm
spnIn-Queen Regent to Appeal
TO the Powers.

London, May IA special dispatch
from Vienna says the queen regent has
again appealed to Emperor Francis Jo-
seph in favor of European intervention.
The Austro-IIungarian foreign minis
ter has addressed note to the powers
on the subject.
The belief exists in some quarters in
Vienna that but for England's pro-
American attitude, certain European
powers would have openly sided with
Spain before the war broke out.
London, May IA dispatch from
Vienna says that in the highest circles
it is regarded that affairs in Spain are
hurrying rapidly toward grave crisis.
No fears are entertained for the per-
sonal safety of the queen regent and
her son. 1t is believed that they will be
able to leave Spain uninjured at suit
able moment.
Not the slightest faith is attached to
the assurances of Don Carlos that he is
setting an example of quietness and in
activity. On all hands it is thought
here that the next few days will bring
about events that may change the en-
tire situation in the Spanish capital.
Madrid, May 7.-Further disorders
are reported from different parts of the
provinces, especially from Murcia, cap
ital of the province of that name, 80
miles from Carthagena, where a mob,
composed mainly of striking miners,
has cut the telegraph lines, set fire to
the town hall and set fire to the law
courts, burning the archives. The riot
ers also made an attack upon the local
Jail, beat in the doors and re.
leased the prisoners. Finally the riot
ing strikers have interrupted railroad
communication with Murcia and have
destroyed store by the use OF dyna.
mite, distributing the provisions which
it contained. The situation is regarded
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1898-05-14

"Car and rail works continue to receive
large orders, and demands for agricultural
implements and fencing go beyond the abil-
ity of works In some cases. Textile estab-
lishments have been receiving larger or
ders within the past few days, outside of
those from the government, so that the
stoppage or reduction of time in four WOOL
en- mills early in the week may have been
premature.
Failures for the week have been 23S in
the United States, against 22l last year,
and 20 in Canada, against So last year"
Bradstreet's says: Evidences accumu-
late that the corner has been turned in
the trade situation and that circumstances
which have hitherto been regarded as dis
quieting have begun to give way to more
cheerful conditions, or are beginning to be
recognized in a truer and more reasonable
light While 1t is claimed, and perhaps
with Justice in many cases, that the changes
yet noted are largely sentimental and that
little that is tangible is to be cited in the
direction of Improvement, II is not to be
forgotten that the dullness and even de-
preston ruling for some time past was
likewise largely sentimental. and, it is now
beginning to be admitted by many, had even
less of a basis to rest upon than the pres
ent unmistakable signs of improvement.
Among the more favorable features of
the week have been the slightly easier tone
in the money market and little more dis
position on the part of financial insttu-
tions to accommodate legitimate demands
of trade Another has been the very gen.
eral foreign recognition of the critical po-
sition of wheat supplies In the lowering or
the suspension entirely of import wheat
duties, notably in Italy, France and Spain.
and reflected In advances proportionate TO
the import duty reduction in those coun-
tries. Prices, both at the seaboard and a.
the interior. have broken all records for
many years past. while the eagerness of
foreign buyers to take hold at the advance
furnishes testimony to the fact that the
present wheat corner is not due entirely
to the fear of Interruptions in supplies, nor
yet to the successful projection of a wheat
corner, but to considerable extent to for
eign recognition of the fact that the worlds
wheat stocks to-day are smaller than they
have been for many years past, and that
some time must yet eiapse before the ad-
mittedly good worlds wheat crop prospects
find expression in new supplies"
