Washing ton, August 10.-The month
ly report of the statistician of the de-
partment of agriculture shows the ay-
erage condition Of cotton on August LIST
TO have been IS, as compared with 75.s
on July i. 1900; "a on August i 1899.
9I-z on i, 1898 and $50 the mean
OF the August averages of the last ten
years.
inere was an Improvement OF condi-
lion during July amounting to ;
points in Texas and Arkansas, 3 points
in Georgia, 10 in Missouri and in Ten
nessee. On h other hand, there was
a decline Of 8 points in North Carolina.
5 in South Carolina and Indian Terri
tory, 4 in Mississippi. Louisiana and
Florida, : in Alabama. 2 in Oklahoma
and 13 in Virginia.
The impairment of condition is due.
in the main, TO drought and the con-
tinued lack Of proper cultivation. but
.nere are extensive sections where
heavy and continuous rains have
wrought serious injury TO the growing
crop.
While the condition in Texas is now
z points above the states ten-year av-
erage, every other state still reports
a condition below such average. Ar
kanas being z. North Carolina I, Louis
ana 8, tennessee 10. Georgia IL, South
Carolina and Virginia IL, Florida Is.
ALABAMA Il and Mississippi Is points
below their respective ten year aver
ages.
Tne averages Of the different states
on August LIST were as follows: Vir-
GINA II, North Carolina so, South
Carolina a, Georgia n, Florida "A,
Alabama 81 Mississippi 50. Louisiana

risory 81.
There has been some abandonment
of land planted TO cotton but the area
abandoned Is somewhat less than was
generally expected one month ago and
the department will not at present
change it's acreage figures.

There are to be elected members of
congress in %fifty-four districts in which
the majorfties are really less thai 1000.
This makes many of them good fight
ling ground. Thirty-two of the fifty
-four are republican and nineteen are
democratic. The list presented by the
Washington Post shows thai Indiana
is much of "a storm center" There are
-four republican districts and two DEM
lecratic districts with less than 1900
plurality. The POST says of these mar
row majorities in the districts that
West Virginia is with three out of four.
Maryland with three out OF four, Ne
braska with four out of six. and Cali
ifornia with three out of six. The num-
Der of districts in other states are:
Five in Illinois, two in Iowa, three in
Kansas, two in Kentucky, two in Mas-
lsachusetts, four in Michigan, one in
Minnesota, one in New Jersey. five in
New York, three in Ohio, -four in Penn
lsylvania, two in Wisconsin.
1t surveys the field and concludes
that 1.-The republicans a better
lchances for gain in the east and the
democrats the better chances in the
west. Considering the fact that the
certain democratic gains from the
south will nearly wipe u the present
republican majority. Chairman Bah
cocks statement that the republicans
have an uphill pull i'm the contest for
the control OF h house seems to be
well founded"
1t is too Don to put on the prophetic
leap. AT present it looks more favor
able, doubtless, to the democrats. We
doubt If Linney, republican, was a
good guesser when he said North Car
lolina would send an entire democratic
delegation. 1t may do so, but there is
doubt as Il two districts, we would
Isuppose. Hard work. wise, tactful
work, may elect our candidates. So
he it.

Braistreet's report.

New York, August 1O.-Bradstreets
tomorrow will say:
Trade conditions still exhibit many
transition period between midsummer
and early fall trade. Despite the hot
wave, with it's effect on the growing
d~istributive demand, and also because
o. the reports of damage TO TIE corn
~u4 which it has melted, a more
cdeerful feeling is p~erceptible in gener-
II trade, n the booking of fall orders
for dry goods, clothing and hardware
at leading western centers, and heavy
engagements in iron and steel products,
though at low prices, are of encurag-
ing proportions.
Prices are not showing the preci2t-
tate declines noted some time ago,
and among the really encouraging
features are the advance in wheat,
mainly based on improved export in
quiry.
Cotton goods partake Of the strength
Of the raw material, due to talk of a
possible bullish crop report, and where
weakness is still ~perceptible, as in
brown cottons, printcloths and wide
sheetings, h natural corrective of re-
duced production is being increasingly
sought. It has been a remarkable
year in cotton and cotton goods and
although the goods market is relative
ly weaker thar the raw material, a
great deal hangs on the next months
business in dry goods circles. It is
regarded as relatively certain that
with a 1000, 900 bale crop values will
be maintained at prices, lower it is
true, than the present quotation for
raw material, but still high when COM
pared with last or previous years
range. The spring season, light weight
season., has opened with prices 2R to
10 per cent. higher than a year g and
much depends on the action OF buyers
IN guiding manufacturers as to pur-
clases of raw material. While the dry
goods demand as a whole is still class
ed as backward for h season, hot
weather is credited with some of the
responsible expectancy.
An immense business in still pro-
ducts is reported booked at Pittsburg
and Chicago, and steel bars are really
frmer, with an advance of "a per ton

Peculiar Accident on New York
Elevated Railway.
PASSENGERS EXCITED
DASHED WILDLY THROUGH
NEW YORK STREETS.
Coal Chute Fell, Injuring Engineer,
Who Jerked Open the Throttle as
he Was Thrown Down-As Cars
Passed Their Roofs Were
Wrecked.

New York, March 1S.-Nine persons
were injured early this morning in an
accident to a Ninth Avenue Elevated
railroad train, near Rector street. Five
of the nine are severely injured, and
one Of those, David A Findley, is at
the Hudson street hospital suffering
from a fractured skull. Four of the
injured are at Bellevue hospital The
Others were sent 10 their homes.
The most seriously injured beside Mr..
Findley, are: Richard B. Barlow Of
Yonkers, engineer of the train. scalp
wounds and shock; Thomas Shelvey,
an engineer, internally injured: Alfred
Alexander, salesman, internally in
jured and taken to the hospital IN
conscious; James Manning, labOrer, in
jured about the head.
The train left South Ferry for Har-
lem, and passed the Battery Place sta
ton at its usual speed and was ap-
preaching the cOaling station. The en-
gineer did not need coal for his engine,
and so did not signal TO the man in
charge of the cOaling apparatus. In
an unexplained fashion, although the
coal man says that il was through the
vibration caused by the approaching
train, the coal chute dropped down al
most at the moment the train reached
the station.
The chute struck the roof of the cab
and tore il off. at the same time throw
ing down Engineer Barlow and Fire
man Hutchings to the floor Of the cab.
BaFloWs hand was on the throttle at
the moment of the collision, and as he
fell his hand turned on pressure still
more, and the engine dashed ahead at
full speed up the track, stopping only
when it had reached Barclay street, be-
cause of the exhaustion Of the steam.
Meanwhile the chute had wrecked the
roofs of the passenger cars, and the
dozen passengers in them were thrown
in every direction

NO TROUBLE WITH CHINA
NAVAL AND WAR OFFICIALS
DENY RUMoRS OF IT.
Ships Have Not, it is Said, Been
Sent to China Because of Difficult
ties There.

Washington, March 1S--In official and
diplomatic circles here a denial is au-
thOrized Of published reports that there
have been conferences with view to
the dispatch of additional war ships and
United States soldiers TO China and that
news OF the graVeSt character has been
received from the United states minister
to China. There is said 10 be no fear en-
tertained that any serious danger TO
American interests is impending.
II is suggested that the published re-
ports have as their basis the recent ac-
IiOn of the navy department, made pub
tic at the time, through the Associated
Press, in directing Admiral Watson, who
is in command of the naval forces in the
Philippines, to send a WarShlD 10 the
port of Taku, at the mouth of the PiehO
river. This was done as a result of the
representations made 10 the state de-
partment by Minister COnger, who re
ported that serious attacks had been
made upon the American missions in
Shan Tung by the Boxers" a powerful
and numerous anti-fOreign league of
Chinese. Secretary Long said tonight
that this was all that had been done by
the navy department and he was not
yet aware which of his vessels the adj
miral had decided to send 10 the Chinese
port. The secretary further denied en-
phatically the correctness Of the publ
cation so far as the navy department was
Concerned and added that there had been
TO conferences such as were reported as
having taken place on the SUBJECT ACT
