The New York Times says Joseph H. Choate, appointed minister to the court of St. James, has made consider ably over sl, ,O0O, 900 in the practice of his profession. That is pretty large story to tell of a.lawyer's success, even in these days of big professional fees. Mir. Choate has had long and distin- guishsd career in his profession; and he has had some great law cases, but it would take a great many of these to make bis fees amount to million dol lars, and it is probably safe to affirm that no lawyer ever accumulated that amount oi money in the practice of his profession. If Mir. Choate's fortune exceeds million dollars, it is doubt less to be accounted for in the fact that his big fees have been we'll invested and his investments have handsomely appreciated in value on his hands.

HAVANA, January 11---La Discussion describes the finding of fifty human skeletons in well on plantation near hanguito. The writer of the story asserts that these people were undoubt- sdly thrown in while alive. He says that in some cases the finger bones are severed and the supposition is that this was due to the efforts of the victims to raise themselves ont of tho pit. The body of Senor Pedro Alayon, Q promi- nsnt Cuban, who disappeared myster- iously during the instruction, has beon identified.
 La Discussion accuses the guerrilla chief, Antio Ries, Sergt. Jean Peres and Vicenta Salgo, .schoolmastsr, of being the authors'of the terrible crime. All are said te bo in Havana.

COTTON ACREAGE REDUCED.
MIR. STEVENS, ESTIMATE OF TRiS
YEARS CROP.
Farmers Of Georgia Have Saved AL
most So, 100000 by Decreasing
Amount Of Fertilizers.

a reduction in cotton acreage OF Is
per cent. for the entire cotton belt is
announced by Commissioner of Agri'
culture o. B. Stevens. This estimate
he made after carefully considering all
information he could obtain from
many sources, and although Others
place the estimate at 10 per cent. Mr..
Stevens is confident his figures are
correct.
The amount of fertilizer used in
Georgia during the season which is
now closing also was considerably less
than was used last year. Last year
49, SOC. 600 in round figures was ex-
nended by Georgia farmers for fertili-
zers. This year only $675O,OO0 was
spent, a saving of Sl,750,O0O for the
season, and this is directly traceable
to the reduction III the cotton acreage
The commissioner IN his monthly
letter. which has just been issued,
says:
1--WE are glad to announce a reduc-
, ton of the cotton acreage, not only IN
Georgia but throughout the cotton
belt.
There has also been reduction in
the amount of commercial fertilizers
nsed. While the reduction OF the cot
ton acreage has not been as large as
we might have wished, still we have
made good showing. For the season
of 1897 ind 1898 Georgia used up to
June l, 1898, about 423, 600 tons of com
merclal fertilizers. For the season of
1898 and 1899 about 335, 900 tons, or 81
ner cent less than last season. Last
season Georgia spent the enormous
sum. in round numbers, OF $4,000, 200
for commercial fertilizers. For the
nresent season Georgia spent about
SIG. $50. 900 for commercial fertilizers.
Thus about 81, $50, 900 have been saved
to the farmers of this state.
"We must not forget that a consld>
arable amount of the fertilizers for
tho season was used in the increased
acreage of wheat and other crops than
cotton. for by reference to our crop
renorts it will be seen that the
" heat and corn acreage has been very
materially increased. Hence,swe can
safely estimate that the amount Of
commercial fertilizers mas been reduc-
ed % per cent. as applied 10 Cne COTTON
1--WE note with pleasure that other
states have also reduced their cotton
acreage, In our Judgment, the re-
duction of the cotton acreage in some
of the states is greater than is shown
by the reports of the United States
AGRICULTURAL department ana those Is
SIZED by Latham, Alexander & Co. We
have been in direct Communication
with the departments of agriculture
for the various cotton producing
states, and from the information re-
ceiyed from such sources we are led to
believe that the cotton acreage Tor the
entire cotton belt has been reduced at
least Is per cent. this season. We are
mindful that other sources place this
reduction at only 10 per cent, but we
believe that time Will prove that we
are right in this estimate.
