The estimate OF $1,000 bales for Houston's
gross receipts OF cotton Tuesday. as an
nounced In yesterdays Post, proved nearly
the exact figures the official count. as
given out by the Houston cotton exchange,
being SO 0oi bales.
This will doubtless prove the record
breaking day for the year. 1t is the largest
amount of cotton ever before received by
any port or interior market in the United
States The magnitude Of this one day s
shipment to AMI through Houston may be
imagined when it is stated that the tota'
value thereof will approximate s1,S25,lOO.
In the ty-five days OF this season thus
far passed HoustoD's gross receipts of cot
ton have amounted to $4,000 bales, and
it is safe to say that the end OF this month
will show a total OF 100000 bales.

A Destructive Storm.

The lists of wrecks along the coast
of New England during the recent
storm is of appalling length. From
Boston ITO vessels are reported lost
or badly damaged. Among the lost
is the Portland, with 81 lives. The
fine steamer Fairfax, of the Mer,
chants and Farmers Line, as report
ed 10 the Suns dispatches yesterday,
went ashore near the entrance to
Vineyard sound, but no lives were
lost, result which was highly credi-
table to the management of Captain
johnson and his crew: Two Balti-
more coal barges were wrecked and
three persons drowned. The storm
extended far out to sea, incoming
ships showing rough usage. In the
West, Chicago reports lake sehoon-
er ashore, and Halifax, in the far
East, adds the wreck OF a four
masted vessel. The loss of life and
property by this one storm promises
to exceed, when the facts are devel-
oped, the havoc of a battle. Those
that go down to the sea in ships still
find themselves impotent in the pres
ence of the great forces of nature

Judge Golf and the Senatorship.

Huntington, W. Va, tNov. 3d.
Judge Nathan Golf, it is currently
reported, has entered the senatorial
fight. This action, it is understood,
is due to conference held two DAYS
ago in Washington between Presi-
dent Mckinley and Judge Golf.
1t is recognized that no man in the
field up to this time can control as
a unit the Republican forces for the
election of a Senator as can Judge
Golf. President Mckinley, wbo
is close personal friend OF Judge
Golf, has been appealed TO, to use
his influence to secure the with
drawal of Judge Golf from the bench
and bis acceptance of seat 10 the
Senate. 1t will be remembered that
President Mckinley was more than
anxious to have Judge COT as
member of his cabinet, and he grasp.

to, if possible add Golf to his list Of
senatorial advisers. But as the
Democrats claim a majority on joint

Dixon Whips Gardner.

New York, Nov. 30.-George
Dixon, the colored feather-weight
champion pugilist, fought twenty
five fast rounds with Oscar Gard
ner, of Wheeling, before the Lenox
Athletic Club, last night, and Refe-
rec Dick Roche decided in favor of
the champion. This decision did
not please great many of those
who witnessed the fight. Dixon did
nearly ali the leading, but Gardner
met him cleverly countered very
forcibly nearly every time they
came together. Dixon found in
Gardner very awkward opponeht
to get to and many of his well aim
ed blows failed to land through the
clever lodging OF the Wheeling
man.
