MUCH international interest centres
in the row between France and Turkey.
The fact that French fleet had left
Toulon for the coast of Turkey, with
the announced intention Of seizfng a
port, has already been stated. The dis
patches of the past few days have been
telling Of the operations Of the Turks in
strengthening their rfortifications by lay
ing torpedoes in the straits approach
ing Constantinople. It is stated that
the Turkish army is being mobiiized at
different points within the bounds. Of
the empire, and that the French
have recently placed large forces In
condition for immediate service. The
general tenor Of the reports from Con-
stantinople, indicate that the Sultan has
acknowledged the French claims and
that he will pay up without delay.
There may be several bitches, however.
Admiral Caillard, who has command of
the French fleet, was expected to ar
rive off the coast Of Turkey on yester-
day, and there was more or less doubt
as to what might happen next. British,
Russian, German and Greek ships are
reported to be gathering in Turkish
waters for the purpose of at least
watching developments.

the report Of the director Of the mint,
made public this morning, showing that
the production Of gold in all the world
fell off $49,07O,2O0 during the calendar
year of 1900, while the silver output in
creased and was the largest ever
known. The explanation is found In
the war in South Africa, where the pro-
duction while $73, ,277, 100 in 1899 was only
SO, ,671, 900 in 1900. If peace had prevailed
the South African total last year would
have been nearly a hundred millions,
for running from 1896 to 1899 the in
crease was from 40 to so per cent. a
year. In this country Colorado leads
with s2S,2S9, 400; California comes next
with SIS, ,S16, 200; Alaska third. with sS,-
III, 900. Altogether the United States
produced in gold s7s,171, 900, while the
only country that came anywhere near
it was Australia with $74,260,000. In
silver the United States came within
less than a hundred thousand dollars of
leadership, the figures being: Mexico,
s35, Gil, 400; United States. $35,541, 900.
Thus the United States produce more
than twice as much gold as it does sill
yer, and it is quite certain that there is
enough gold in the world for money
uses.

WITH BULLS AND BEARS.-The down.
ward tendency in cotton that was so
marked with the approach Of Novem-
ber 1, has been showing signs Of de-
cided change since that date. A New
York dispatch Of Monday night re-
viewed the days developments on the
cotton exchange as follows:
The cotton market opened strong and
13 to II points higher on a small stam-
pede of the bear faction and brisk de-
mand from outside interests, Europe
leading the latter buying. For some
time after the call the market continued
to improve; January working up to
7.67 on active general buying. Nearly
all news was bullish with heavy to kill
ing frosts shown on the government
chart for the northern portion Of the
central and western belt. Moreover the
forecast was for heavy frost to freezing
temperatures tonight pretty much over
the entire belt, followed by still colder
tomorrow. Private kilograms reported
a drop Of 80 degrees at Gainesville, Tex
as, and to 32 in Memphis, Tenn. Ice
was said to have formed in parts of
Tennessee. This news sent Liverpool
up to 81 points and caused an opening
rise Of 10 to q points in New Orleans.
Local bears, however, were quick to
note that public buying was not exten-
sive and that the bulls were not aggres-
sive. Large port and interior receipts,
with liberal estimates for tomorrow's
New Orleans and Houston receipts, la
ter caused the market to fall of, Janu-
ary reactlng at 7.57. Lack of outside

with the naked eye, and explained that
they were oil cells. Then pressing the
seed on his thumb nail with his knife
blade, Mr.. Cox pointed to the result as
pure cotton oil. This, in very small
way, Is what the oil mill does on a
large scale. First the cotton seed are
cleaned, and then they are run through
a Inter, which takes off about SO
pounds of short lint from every ton.
Next the seed are shaved into thin
Slices after which the hulls are sepa-
rated from the kernels. This meal Is
then pressed into cakes, which are next
steam baked until all the water is evap-
Grated away, after which the cakes
are placed under high powered hy-
draulic press. The pressure extracts
the oil and leaves the cakes almost as
hard and tough as bone. The oil hav-
ing been drawn off. in settling tanks
and thence to storage tanks, the cakes
are ground into meal, and the entire
product Of the operation, meal, hulls,
and oil is ready for market. The whole
process Is so simple as to be merely a
question of machinery and experience.
y 1t has been quite a while since the
young ladies Of the Presbyterian
church have given one Of their delight
full entertainments. and the many peo-
pie who have attended them heretofore
will look forward with especial pleasure
to that announced to be held at the res
idence Of Captain r. T. Stephenson on
next Friday afternoon.

SINCE the recent death of Judge Full
Ter, of the court of private land claims,
there has been much interest in North
Carolina as to who would be his sue
cessor. The law required that the ap-
pointee should be a Democrat, and the
speculations of some of the Tomcat pa
pers that claim to be representatives of
Democracy were very amusing. For in

south has "deserter" stamped across
his forehead in gilded letter. A few
days afterward, the president appointed
Frank I. OSBORNE, of Charlotte, as judge
Of private land claims, and this same
paper announced that Mr.. Osborne was
the first Democrat appointed so far"

an able lawyer and has the ability to
fill the position with credit to himself,

ever, the appointee made speeches in
North Carolina for free silver and vot-
ed for Bryan. He did not go back on
free silver until he became convinced
that the issue was dead beyond the pos
sibility of resurrection. In spite Of the
furious swapping Of the little so-called
Democratic papers in North Carolina,
1t is generally admitted that Mr.. o.
borne is as good a Democrat as could
have been selected, and If he has been
bought, there is but little ground upon
which to hope for the preservation of
the integrity of other Democrats in that
state.

that the charge Of stealing in connec-

If Mr.. Hanna and other advocates Of
the bill were after money only, they
could fix their nets in Wall street,
shake the government tree and rake in
all the cash they could want with con-

believe there is any corruption in con-

election took place during yesterday,

Because of the local issues involved,
there was much election excitement in

but little desire for change. 1t is not
expected that today's returns will show

Conversion Through Pork.

An old Cambridge friend of mine who
had good deal of the wisdom Of the
serpent in him had a farmer in his par
ish in Norfolk whom he could not get
to church. Whenever he pressed upon
him his neglect or his bad example he
was always met with the same excuse,
You be too young and do not know
enough to teach such as L. At last he
gave up the farmer in despair, But
one day he happened to pass by the
farm while his parishioner was en-
gagged in killing fine pig. My friend
said: What pig! Why, he weighs "a
stoner' what dost thou know of
pigs|' replied the farmer. Il only wish
he weighed as much" When they next
met, the farmer. to his surprise. told
my friend that the pig had been found
to weight just "a stone. He added,
much to my friends qualification, And
thou wilt see me at church next Sun
day, parSon." -Manchester Guardian.
