New York Loses Sha 1t and Screw at Sea

New York Letter in the Chicago Tribune
 The American line steamship New York, two days late arrived in port this morning. propelled by only one shaft and screw. The other screw and ten feet of the shaft lie at the bottom of the Atlantic about 1,20O miles this side of Southampton. The acci- dent to the New York occurred at 9:20 O clock on the night of Tuesday, May 22, when the steamship was three days out from Southampton.
 Bowling along at about q knots in a mod crate sea- the passengers on the New York were thrown into a semi-panic just after dinner on Tuesday night. The first cabin and the second cabin were filled with per sons when the monotonous chug of the port and starboard engines was suddenly inter- rupeted by shock that made the huge yes- sel tremble from stem to stern. Then fol- lowed a few moments of suspense, cut short by a crash and more trembling. Then the chug-chug was resumed.
 As careful an examination as could be made under the circumstances showed that the port shaft had broken off at a point somewhere between the truss block, at the mouth of the sleeve of the shaft, and the screw. The outer end of the broken shaft and the propelled dropped immediately to the bottom of the sea.
 The big liner steamed right on it's course as if nothing had happened, except that the speed of the vessel was reduced to 14s2 knots. at which rate it Came into port just two days late. The days runs thereafter averaged 365 knots.

Indias famine area is about 35O,00O square miles and extends over the central, south and northwestern provinces. No one could describe it's awful horrors. Emaciated be- yond belief. the starving natives crawl to the house of the nearest sahib, usually a missionary, to crave food but 60000, 900 mouths have to be fed. Fifteen dollars a year will feed a Hindu, yet even this pitia- ble allowance is not to be had. The causes of the famine are the failure of the crops, the refusal Of the native princes to allow their hunting jungles to be converted into fertile agricultural regions and the mys- terous disappearance of a special famine fund of $10o,o00,000 collected by the gov ernment after the famine of 1877, says Les- lies Weekly.
 The Hindu is a strict vegetarian The low-caste Hindu is fatalist. So. when the famine stalks abroad. the Hindu sub mits uncomplainingly. Day by day he will subsist on less food. until at last, when a mere shadow, he will drag his bony self to a relief station. There he may get food r-or he may~not. If not, he crouches in

COTTON FUTURES
 RULED INACTIVE Due Partly to Absence of Liver

 Pursued See-Saw Course
DECLINED SEVERAL POINTS

New York June 2-The market for cot ton futures opened steady higher to 2 points loWer and ruled inactive most of the short session, owing to the absence of news from the English markets, which were closed in the observance of the Whit suntde holiday, and unusually mixed crop and weather reports from the south. Com mission business came in slowly, Europe sent few orders, the south failed to show it's usual snap and energy, while the local contingent was disposed to quietly even up and temporarily withdraw
 Following the call there was Q decline of several points under scattering liquida- ton and scarcity of buyers, but the course of the market a whole was of the "see- saw nature, with neither side claiming special advantage The official govern ment chart recorded rains over the greater portion of the belt; but whereas moisture was beneficial in the country east of the Mississippi river. the territory west of that line was suffering seriously from excessive rainfalls already.
 The character of crop accounts was bearish, except that of the southwest, where farmers were unable to get into the fields and cultivate the plant owing to continued rains
 The market for futures closed steady, with prices net 1 to points higher.

Murphy & Company's Cotton Letter

New York, June 2.-Liverpool will be hol- iday until Tuesday next, the 5th. Our mar ket opened practically unchanged from yes- terday's closing. The very strong statisti- cal postion everywhere is likely to attract renewed attention, especially in view of the continued rains in Texas. Near the opening prices weakened on sales by local opera tors, and prices eased off to points Later in the day the market strengthened on the small increase estimate of Latham, Alexan- der & Co., and closed about the highest of the day Spots were unchanged at cents. Should the rains continue in Texas and other points throughout the south we can see no reason why cotton should not ad- vance much further.
