Tomorrow.

No question has been agitated NOR,
of late than that of hotels. The out
come will be big thing for Green
vile, as it will give her hotel facilities
by the new year, when it is calculated
to have the new $4,000 hotel finished
that will surpass that of any city of its
size in the state.
Mr.. Will Newman, manager of the
Newman Hotel, said yesterday that the
work of remodeling the old hotel would
begin Monday.
Every room will receive the atten-
tion it deserves to make it neat and
comfortable, and water will be run to
every part of the building. Sewerage
will be put In as soon as the city will
allow connection with the new mains.
The office downstairs will be made
larger by the addition of the room now
occupied by the tailor shop and will
present an attractive appearance.
Colonel |. A. Newman is now in Lit
tie Rock, but will leave shortly for St.
Louis to purchase furnishings, which
will be both elegant and costly. ..
The contract calls for the completion
of the work by Oct. l.
Colonel Newman and son are deserv-
eddy popular and The Times predicts
for them many more years of success in
the hotel business in Greenville.

''And speaking of mosquitoes" said
fat man from st. Louis, II would ac-
tually prefer a dog bite that is, of
course providing the dog is in good
humor and don't step on my corn"
There was ripple of applause and
the speaker continued:
"You know, if dog bites you-and
the dog doesn't belong to your mother
in-law- revenge is easy. An ounce of
lead or hickory stick will do the work
splendidly. If there is mother-in-
law in the case, a little rat poison will
fix 1.-THE dog, not the mother-in-law.
| have never seen a mosquito that be-
longed to mother-in-law, nor to any
one else in particular, and this is the
bad side of it. You had as well shoot
at the moon as a mosquito, and the
hickory stick only makes him sir and
show his teeth. Yes, I'll take dog in
mine"
And there was chorus of amen s"
as the fat man from St. Louis assembled
the stairs and pulled the screen door
behind him.
Among those who were here this |
week, none said more to entertain and |
amuse his friends than that blg-hearted |
merchant king. Pete Cohen, of Itta
Bena; clad in his happiest garb of gen
erous good nature. Mr.. Cohen likes
Greenville and is here often. He be-
lieves that we are to, have great city; |
''outside of Itta Bena, the greatest in |
the state" and there was a merry
twinkle in his eye as he related to The
Times lobbyist the advantages and pos
sibillties of the pretty little village on
the bank of the placid Roebuck
The building of the new hotel, which
is to begin shortly, was the topic of
conversation in the lobby of one of
Greenvilie's principal hostelries the
other evening. A half-dozen men,
including drummers, merchants and
manufacturers. exchanged views, COM
plimented the splendid hotels already
here, and talked for an hour regarding
the probable future of the growing
city, to finally conclude that it was not
only desirable, but imperative, that
Greenville have larger. more commo-
dious and imposing hotel building.

SEWERAGE WORK
WILL RESUME.
Complete System to Be in Opera
ton By Winter.

The sewerage system, of Green
vile will be in operation before
cold weather. This much has
been decided by the city officials
and the contractors.
The work on the new system
was temporarily suspended some
time ago on account of the heavy
rams and the continual seipage
of water into the excavations made
for the mains.
The earth is now in prime con-
dltion for the work and the force
will be put on right away, SO that
the system can be finished, if pos
sible, before cold weather.
This will be good news to the
people of Greenville and The
Times is confident now that there
will be no further delay of this
enterprise which concerns so much
the health of the city.

SOME COTTON
CROP ESTIMATES.
From The American Ginner and
Southern Farm Gazette.

The American Ginner, after a
careful review Of the field, draws
the following among several con-
illusions regarding the cotton crop:
Should climatic conditions con-
tlnue unfavorable the result is be-
yond conjecture. In 1867 itralned
thirty days in June, cotton selling
in December from Z to 8 cents, but
the following March it was found
that so little cotton was in exis-
tence that the price went up to 20
cents. In 1894 the average yield
was $50 pounds lint per acre. Ac-
cording to Government reports the
present acreage is approximately
Is, 100000 acres, and with the
same average yield as in 1884 the
crop for the season of 1900-1 would
be something like 5000, 900 bales.
With favorable weather from this
time on, with late fall. there is
is no reason why the crop of 1900
II should exceed or even equal
that of the season of 1S99-1900.
the Southern Farm Gazette in
sists that there will not be half of
a cotton crop. 1t says:
Drought is now doing much
damage over most of the country.
From Carolina to Mississippi, ex-
cept-in a few narrow strips, the
cotton seems to be burning badly,
and in some cases dying and
opening prematureIy. We cannot
yet see where much more than a
half-crop is to come from in Mis-
slssippi. Other States are not SO
short as ours, but we believe the
entire crop will be shorter than
has yet guessed"

DEMOCRATS HOLD
 IMPORTANT CAUCUS
Underwood and Epps Selected
 as Party Whips.
OTHER MATTERS DISCUSSED
A Committee of Four, Including Bank head of Alabama, Has Been Ap- pointed to Select Steering
 Committee of Fifteen.

Washington, January 9.-A well attended caucus of the democratic members of the house of representatives was held tonight. MT. Newlands, of Nevada, of the silver party, was present by invitation of MT. Richardson, the democratic floor leader, for the purpose of presenting a plan for united action by all of the elements op- posed to the republican organization.
 The actual business transacted by the caucus was confined to the adoption of a resolution for the appointment of the usual committee of one member from each state to look after congressional elections and the selection of Messrs. Underwood of Ala bama and Epps of Virginia as whips, for the arrangement of pairs.
 MT. Newlands spoke at considerable length concerning the unffication of the ele- ments opposed to the political party now in power. In particular he suggested an advisory committee of one member from each of the states, the choice to be made from democrats, .populists, silver republ- cans, silver independents and, in fact, all the clements opposing the republican party. The purpose of this committee, is was ex- .plained, would be to formulate policy on the more important public questions and thus secure united action. Mir. Newlands also went to some extent into the impor- tant questions now before the public with view of showing that differences should be harmonized so as to unify the opposi- ton forces. He stated that his suggestion was merely tentative and that full con- sideration of the subject, action. could be taken at some future time
 Steering Committee
 The chief feature of the evening centered in a resolution, offered by Representative Robertson, of Louisiana, with view to se- curing "a steering committee which would have the power to formulate the demo- cratic policy on important questions of leg islation. This resolution was as follows:
 "Resolved, That committee consisting of Representatives Bailey, Richardson, Bank head and DeArmond is hereby appointed, and Is authorized and empowered to select a committee of b members of this caucus, of which the aforesaid members shall con- stitute a part, to be known as the execu- tive committee of the democratic caucus.
 "That this committee shall, after full and free conference on all questions now pend- ing in the house, or which may hereafter be considered therein, formulate policy of each and all of them and present the same to this caucus for definite action.
 That should three-fourths of the mem- bers of the caucus agree upon the matters submitted by the said executive commit tee, 1t shall. be declared that the matters so agreed upon are the policies of the dem ocratic party in the house of representa- tives and shall be binding on all democrats and so proclaimed in the press and on the floor of the house of representatives.

GERMANY TAKES

The Two Countries Working To- gether in the Matter of
 British Seizures.

London. January 9.-There Is some reason to believe that the United States and the German embassies are trying to find a common basis on which they can cooper ate in pressing their respective demands against Great Britain for the Delagoa Bay seizures
 A high official of the German embassy had long conference today at the Ameri- can embassy. and the diplomats are believ- ed to have discussed the step each country has already taken, and the best future pro- cedure.
 At the same time there is every indication that Great Britain is showing the most friendly consideration of the representa- tions of both the ambassadors and that the present differences will be settled aniicabiy.
 Both the United States and German em- bassies are now anxious to obtain a British declaration in regard to the treatment of neutral ships hereafter, and 1t is believed they exchanged views on the subject

dition of things which it is proposed to mented, you call glory"
 Mir. Hoar referred to Mr. Beveridges statement that the present condition of warfare was due to. the utterances in this that in December. 1898, the president had sent proclamation to General Otis for publication to the Filipinos. General Otis returned the proclamation with the state ment that after full consideration of the terms, Sovereignty, right of session." etc., he was convinced that they were calculated to cause an immediate outbreak of hostili- ties. General Otis amended the proclama- tion by making the statement: "I am con- vinced that it is the intention of the gov- ernment of the United States to seek the establishment of the most liberal govern ment in the Philippines"
 This appeared in the proclamation pulp lished to the natives, but a copy of the ac- : tual proclamation of the president fell into the hands of the Filipino leaders and pre- cipitated hostilities.
 General Otis had promised MT. Hoai said, a government to the Fflipinos in which they would be able to exercise full meas 'ure of their individual rights.
 "Did he utter this promise to people in- capable of self-government-to half savages and half Spaniards?" demanded MT. Hoar. He thought it bold to charge those men who had opposed this war from the begin ming with the responsibility of all the blood being shed. He declared there had not been a time when, if General Otis had been able to give assurance of importance to the Fili- pinos, the war would not have terminated.
 After reading some passages from official reports, Mr. Hoar concluded, promising to discuss the question fully in the near fu- ture.
 When the Philippine debate had closed for the day, MT. Carter, of Montana, called up the bill conferring additional authority up- on the director of the census. It was found impossible either to amend or pass the bill because of the lack of a quorum, and, at 4 o'clock, the senate adjourned

SILVER QUESTION
 IN SUPREME COURT
Michigan Lawyer Will Test the
 Bland-AIIiSOn Law.
STRONG SILVER ARGUMENT
The Brief as Filed May Have an Impor- tant Bearing on the Financial Question-Governme Cannot
  Issue Debased Coin

Washington, January 9.-A record and brief have been received by the clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States of a case from the supreme court of Michigan that may have a bearing on the financial question. It is the case of Baker vs. gan lawyer, seeks to test the constitution ality of the provisions of the Bland Allison act, making the silver dollar of Sn.25 grains of silver full and unlimited legal tender in payment of all debts, public or private. MT Baker claims that the act of 1S73 establishing the gold dollar of 23.22 grains of pure gold as the standard 7 value Is the only valid act in existence, making coined money full legal tender, and that all contracts since entered into payable in money without stipulation as to the kind of money can be settled only in gold dollars or in United States notes re- deemable in gold.
 He contends that the Bland-Allison act is unconstitutional, because the bullion value of the silver dollar at the date of the passage of that act and ever since then, has been less than the value of the gold dollar, and that congress has mo right under the power to coin money to issue a debased coin, and ito make unlimited tender where no provision is made for its redemption of coin of full value.'
 MT. Baker is an advocate or silver, and in 1896 was chairman of the democratic state central committee of Michigan but he believes that the new standard of value which would result from the restoration of bimetalism should be adopted for future contracts, only that all existing public and private debts contracted since 1873 should be paid in gold unless the contract specif- ically provides for the paymezs of some other kind of money.

Molineux Trial Was Dull

New York, January s.-The trial of Rol- and B. Molineux for the murder of Rather inc J. Adams relapsed into dullness today with the calling of another expert in hand writing-Prof. Persifer Frazer, of Philadel- phia, who occupied nearly the whole day. MT. Frazer expressed his opinion that the author of the letters signed Roland B. Moli- neux was also the author of the letters signed HI. Cornish and I'll c. Barnet" and further that the address on the poison package was written by the author of the letters.
 A comparison with some undoubted writ ingS of Barnet and Cornish, he said, had convinced him that neither Barnet nor Cor nish had written the address on the poison package.
 The only other witness of the day was August R. Martin, paying teller of the Es- sex County National bank, of Newark, N. J. He identified the handwriting of the poison package as that of Molineux, who had been depositor at his bank for some years.

 Columbia, s. G., January 9.-Last Satur- day at Pinewood, on the Atlaatio Coast Line, Conductor Hursey shot and instantly killed a negro train hand, Lewis Burton, who was advancing threateningly upon the conductor.
