JAPS FOR KLONDIKE.
An Army of 5000 LabOrers to
Sail for Alaska March 1.

San Francisco Feb. THE call says:
Japan is going to invade the Klondike. A
standing army of 5000 abIe-bodied labor
ers are being got together for the gold
fields, and in a month or so they will
make a descent on Dawson City. One
of the Nippon Yuren Kaisha steamers
will bring them here, but as they will not
land on the soil of the United States
there will be no one to say them nay, I'M
less Great Britain takes hand in the
matter.
One of the japanese steamers that has
been carrying laborers will be used to
carry them to their destination. 1t is
added that the Japanese will be brought
over by a syndicate, and trouble in the
Klondike is predicted.

KANSAS is COUNTED
In the Government Report of the Cot
ton Crop Last Year.

Washington, Feb. IA circular is
sued by Statistician Hyde of the agri-
cultural department, gives considerable
information concerning the cotton crop
of 1861 its value, amount purchased
by mills and the acreage planted
It shows that the total cotton crop Of
1869 amounted in commercial bales
to 1852, 705, made up by the following
states:
Alabama, 888, 7S9; Arkansas, sos. 643;
Florida, As, $50; Georgia, 1,299, $40; Indian
Territory, S7,705; Kansas, 81; Kentucky,
Ala; Louisiana, 567, PSI; Mississippi, 1,201,-
521, 795; Oklahoma, 35,251; South Caro-
lima, 936, 463; Tennessee, 236,7S1; Texas,
2, 122, 7O1; Utah, 1913; Virginia, 1889.
1t is stated that the large and in
creaSing amount of raw cotton taken
directly from the current crop by mills
from the cotton growing states is more
than ever an important factor IN estl-
mating the annual production. Ten
years ago only about per cent OF the
crop of six and a half million bales was
used by those states, while during the
year 1869 they used OVer~n per cent
of a crop of over eight and a half mil
lion bales.
The number of mills in operation dur
ing the year was 4O2; the NUMBER OF
spindles, g. 1927, and the number Oh
bales bought, 9S1, 991.
The investigation of the production OF
Sea Island cotton shows that the crop OF
1869 was the largest on record, the
states of Georgia, Florida, South Car
DINA and Texas having produced 1O4,-
368 bales. The next largest crop was
that of the preceding year, estimated
at about SO, 900 bales. The production or
Georgia was GA, 66S bales; that or FLOR
ida 26, 431 bales; South Carolina, 10, 1853;
Texas, $500. The total value of the up
land crop was $2S5. SIC, 606, which gave
an average price of 6.65 cents per pound
of that sold and the total value OF the
Sea Island crop, $6,OOO,958, an average
price of 1858 cents per pound. The to-
tai acreage during 1896-97 was 23,273,2O9,
the number of bales raised, 8,532, 100, an
average of 81 bales per acre.

STEAM OUT TO SEA.
Two Big Ocean Steamers Aground in
Fog lowed Of

New York, Feb. Two big ocean
Shoals during the fog of Saturday are
now safe at sea on their outward pas
sage.
One of the liners, La Bretagne, was a
prisoner until $50 o'clock this morning,
while the other, the Kaiser Wilhelm II,
was only delayed a short time. The
cause of all the trouble was the shifting
about of the buoys by the heavy flow Of
ice during the past few days.
Both vessels left their piers Saturday
morning and steamed slowly down the
bay in the fog. Pilot Charles Thomp-
son was in charge of the French liner
and Pilot Van Pelt of the Kaiser, which
was leading by an eighth of a mile. AS
already told it was just after they had
entered Gedney's channel that La Bre-
tagne's pilot mistook a red for black
buoy. He steered to port of the red
buoy; five minutes later La Bretagne's
nose was scraping the mud of Ro-
mer .Shoal. The Kaiser, following be-
hind, initiated the French liners lead
and she, too, went aground.
The tug HulVer succeeded in fOrcinS
the Kaiser Wilhelm, which anchored at
$50 p. m. near the intersection of the
SWash and Gedney's channel
Just after the Kaiser was freed from
her sand bed on the ROmer ShoaI, the
steap pilot boat New York. which had
broken six hawSerS in an effort to float
the French liner, succeeded, and La
Bretagne slipped off into deep water
but went ashore again and was not re-
leased until u hours later, when she at
once proceeded to sea.

BROWN CONFEssEs AGAIN.
Repeats His San Francisco Statement
to His Chicago Congregation.

Chicago, Feb. REV. c. o. Brown
faced his congregation at the Green Street
Congregational church yesterday for the
first time since he made his confession
in San Francisco. The little church was
filled at both morning and evening serv-
ices.
At the morning services DR.. Brown
made no reference to his trip to San Fran
cisco and his sensational statement be-
fore the San Francisco association, the
services being conducted as usual, and
the sermon having no relation to the min
isters troubles.
At the evening service, however, Dr..
Brown made lengthy statement, some
what to the same effect as that he read
Al San Francisco.
Since DR.. Browns sensational confession
in San Francisco some days ago there
has been much speculation as to the ac-
ton the Green Street church would take.
Following his confession DR.. Brown for
warded a letter of resignation to the
church and also one to the Chicago asso-
citation. Action on both letters was de-
ferred in order to afford DR.. Brown an
opportunity for defense. When he re-
turned to this city on Saturday he stated
that he had no defense to make.
1t was decided action on the resignation
would be taken at the trustees meeting
next Wednesday.

MORMONISM DEFIANT.
Declare at a Meeting in Brooklyn
They Have No Apologies to Make.


New York. Feb. THE Herald today
SAYS: Mormonism has challenged the
orthodoxy of the day and called it hete-
rodOxy.
'"This was the gage to the old
Christian churches thrown down Sun
day by Congressman King of Utah
at the conference of the MormOns of
the Eastern Mission in Brooklyn. Much
exclamation of the revival of the East
ern Mission was made during the two
sessions, but through all of them ran
the spirit of conquest.
.sThere was no apologies for the
NIormonism of the past. On the contra
ry the spirit was one of aggressive
championship of the Mormon Theology.
Representative King of Utah, who sup
ported in the house of representatives.
on Saturday the request for more mon
ey for Notifications, appeared as a mis-
sionary. He fervently declared that he
knew the mission had been given to
Mormon leaders to prepare the way for
the second coming of Christ and the
kingdom of God.
'sMormonism is a challenge which
meets you on the roadway of life and
compels you to give the watchword OF
true Christianity. It compelS you to
say whether you are really without God
or not It challenges the orthodoxy OF
today and calls it heterodoxy.
'sMormonism has come to make the
whole world one nation, one people and
one faith. 1t has not come to destroy
1t has come to unite and snow COO
will as it really exists"
Characteristic Mormon hymns were
sung during the services by members OF
the tabernacle choir of Salt Lake City.

Mormon capital to preach to the east

INSANITY REVEALS CRIME.
Disappearance of a Woman at Ava,
Ill. Accounted For.

Ava, Ill, Feb. THE finding of hu-
man skeleton seems to solve the mys-
terry attending the disappearance of a
young woman.
About a year ago a niece Of Mrs. Una
Henson, living at Perry county, close to
the Jackson county line, mysteriously
disappeared. At the time it was thought
she had been paid to leave the country
by parties whom she was going to testi-
fly against in an important case in
court.
The young woman was forgotten I'M
til a day or two ago when Mrs. Hanson
was bereft of her reason and made some
startling revelations. She said that the
young woman had been murdered and
that her body was buried on the banks
of a small stream.
She talked about it so much that an
investigation was made, and a human
skeleton was unearthed at the place
indicated.
