plains that Private Firms Get

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Secretary Will
son of the Agricultural department. is in

change The secretary Himself was absent

issued, and he. therefores had no personal
knowledge of the occurrence. Superintend-
ent Hyde of the statistical division said to-
day that the regular telegfaphic summary OF
the cotton report was sent as usual Novem-
ber 10. Usually the detailed report made up
a few days later is not telegraphed, but

tanned this month it was deemed best to
have it sent to the Cotton exchange by tele-
graph
In the report OF the 10th the department
placed the total crop estimate at an out
side production of 9,5OO,O0O bales. In the
supplemental report it was explained that
this estimate was based upon the fact that
the experience of past years had shown that
the actual crop exceeded the departments
estimates, and added that the report on
actual conditions in the hands Of the de-
partment indicated crop of less than Q,
900, 900 bales.
This supplemental report was sent to the
two telegraph companies for transmission
to the exchange at 11;55 a. m. The secre'
tary of the exchange wrote Mr.. Hyde that il
did not reach the exchange until 2:45, al
most three hours later. One of the tele.
graph companies here reported that the re-
port was olered to New York Immediately
upon its receipt, but 1t being unusual to
receive a supplemental report New York re-
fused TO ,ske it mediately-meantime d
correspondent of one of the financial news
agencies in New York had heard of the re
port and teiegraphed its substance to his
agency. The other company reported tc

SOLD THE COKE.
Lone Mariner Parts With
His Schooner.
Capt. J. G. Quincy the New Owner
Around the World.

Capt. Quincy. the well known vet
eran mariner. turtle and politician,
has a command again. after being
ashore many years. The citizen has
purchased the widely advertised little
schooner Coke. sailed from San Fran |
cisco TO this port in twenty-siX days
by Capt. Freitsche. the lone mariner
who once sailed a baby vessel across
the Atlantic. The Coke was built at
San Francisco by the man who brought
her down. He had the backing of
patent medicine company and put to-
gether a good boat thirty-five feet long,
nine foot beam and drawing two feet oil
water. with a steel centerboard. Inc
Coke is fit for weather of any KIM ana
has considerable speed. Capt. Cluney
at first talked of continuing the round
the world cruise that Freitsche aban-
doned here. but was dissuaded from
this purpose by the Lime Kiln club OF
the Pilot House. The new owner may
sell the boat or may put her in the
Island trade. Capt. Quincy has bar
gain. There is the very best of mater
ial in the Coke. though she is iron
the masts and canvass are of the finest
quality money can buy. Freitsche eN-
pected to find here money and direc-
tions, but had not a scratch of the pen
from the owners and concluded to
give up the contract and return to San
Francisco. where he has a number OF
opportunities at all times. He says he
may go to Chicago and fetch one of the
lake schooners out to the Atlantic and
around to Honolulu. Freitsche is a
big. heavy. handsome, quiet and gen
tlemanly sailorman who looks like he
was grit and endurance through and
| through. He says il was a bit lone
some at times coming down from San
Francisco, but that he rather enjoyed
the trip. He says he would sooner do
it over again in an open skiff than to
take the Coke from New York to- Liv-
lerpool. There is plenty of danger on
the Atlantic for lone mariner, where
as on the Pacific il is plain and easy
= sailing. The Norwegian was surprised
that so little interest was taken here
in himself and ship. He said that al
San Francisco he was paying attrac-
ton at a museum for several weeks
Freitsche was told that the people here
knew too much about workmanship 70
be amazed over his performance. He
mad plenty OF sleep on the voyage, get
ting between seven and eight hours
out of every twenty-four. This was
not all taken at one time regularly
When there was a steady breeze and
the course was we'll fixed. Freitsche
would shorten sail and take "snooze'
He was asked to carry cats. dogs
monkeys, parrots, etc, but preferred &c
be without passengers of any kind. The
lone mariner was left here penniless by
his hackers and was very much pleased
to find ready sale for his boat. which
he luckily had registered in his own
name under the American flag
