Governor Durham, Of Indiana, per-
sists in his refusal to honor requlsi-
tion for the return to Kentucky or for-
mer Governor Taylor and Charles w.
Finley. who have been indicted by the
Kentucky courts for the murder OF
Governor VIM. Goebel. Governor Dur
ban bases his refusal on the grouno
that the accused men will not be ac-
corded a fair and impartial trial, ana
by way Of justification Of his position
criticises the conduct Of the trials that
have already taken place. He says
that Judge Cantrell, who presided IN
the Caleb Powers case, is conducting
himself more like senatorial candl-
date than like an impartial judge.
The Schley court Of inquiry is still In
session; but it is believed that its WORK
will be concluded within the next few
days. Up to last Friday, when there
was an adjournment until Monday, the
court had been at work 36 days ana nao
taken 1000 pages of testimony. 1t was
understood that Admiral Schley would
90 on the stand again Monday for the
purpose of correcting some of his tes-
timony as it had been officially report
ed. and that there would probably be
two or three additional witnesses to tes-
tify. How long it will require the
court to reach a decision after the
completion of arguments cannot be pre-,
dicted with any certainty.

President VIM. Mckinley and says:

bowed in sorrow for the" death Of a
great and good president. We mourn

year. In particular it has been one OF

intellectual and spiritual" The presi-
liant designates November 2Sth as
Thanksgiving Day.

Lord Pauncefote, the British ambas-
sador to the United States, has just re-
turned from London with the draft Of a
new treaty that provides for the con-
struction of the Nicaraguan canal. The
text of the new treaty has not been CIV
en- out, but it is understood that it pro-
yides for practically all that this coun-
try has been asking for. A responsible
British official is quoted as saying in
connection with the matter: 1--WE never
really objected to the construction of
the canal, but we did and do object to
a cavalier abrogation Of the Clayton
Rulwer treaty. It was in that spirit
that Lord Lansdowne couched his re-
nly to the United States senate's re-
lection of the last Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. 1t was not what you wanted to
was the chief reason for our opposition.
Since then we have been approached in
a rational, polite manner and we have
again endeavored to substitute for the
Clayton- Bulwer treaty, a treaty that
will enable America to carry out de-
sign, which, in a broad sense, will
doubtless benefit the whole world.
Charlotte Observer: A cotton crop
in the cotton states Is harvested In
about 100 days. The picking begins
about September 1st and continues un-
til about the middle OF December. The
picking or harvesting must average
100, 900 bales a day for 100 days in order
to get in a crop of 100000 bales. This
excludes rainy days, and therefore, on
clear days the picking must exceed
100000 bales to bring up the average.
Temperate and fair weather from Octo-
ber 18th to November 18th probably has
more influence on the size of the crop
than the plants condition in July anu
August ever has. A cold rain, follow
ed by frost now, would mean the cut
ting off of the cotton picked by $4,000
bales a day, or 100000 bales in ten days.
Two weeks ago the promise of the crop
was 1O.25O,OO0. The fair weather
that has prevailed since has increas-
ed this promise to 1O,75O,OOO today. Ten
days more of fair and temperate wealth
er will increase the promise to 11,250,00O
