NEW YORK. July 2i.-The declines of
the past week more than discount the ac-
tuai situation, admitting all the calam-
itous reports TO be actually true. As a
rule. reports are always alarmingiy exag-
gerated, IN the zeaiousness OF the bears 10
break the market as far as possible In
the pursuit of speculative profits. Ten
years ago the destruction of a crop was
far more serious matter for the crop
carrying railways. and the reason Is as
follows: In those days the hauling of
the crops comprise nearly Is per cent.
of the roads traffic, While to-day the
crop haul does not comprise 20 per
cent. The upbuildlng of the country and
It's increase of population offers the roads
more diversified business. To-day they
are like a great department store In which
one or two departments may not prove a
money making success. yet the possible
hundred odd other departments turned
into the concern would prove large prof
It's. As q proof of the following logic. we
would call your attention TO the fact
that last year. with a decimated crop
along It's lines. N. Z. made for the year
the greatest earnings In its history and
steadily advanced from below 60 to above
LIS without covering A good many people
sold their n F. below 90 while others went
short, owing to crop failure
Farmers have considerable old corn on
hand. and with what they succeed In har-
vesting this year, they won't be so badly
off financially when they realize large
prices for same.
Stocks have had a large decline, are
now cheap and they who buy them to hold
are certain TO reap their reward.
Yours very truly.

THE RICHMOND papers, as might %
expected, are violently opposed to the
proposition before the constitutional
convention In favor of quadrennisl sea-
siops of the legislature. and ssy: "lne
change suggested is not to be thought
of. II would present 8 powerful temp
tation to corporate influences to cap
ture' the senators, SO IS to control ieg's-
latiop for eight years." The reason
for this opposition ia pot valid Tor IL Is
a notorious fact that for some years past
each succeeding legislature was more
corrupt than it's predecessor and more
easily Captured" by corporation I'm
fiuence." This being the case the
longer the intervals between the see
sious of the legislature the better, and
all sensible people know that there are
enough laws on the statute books now
to last for generations to come. Bat
Richmond wants the legislature to meet
frequently because during the sessions
much Of the peoples money is spent In
that city.

suv opposition to the paper 1t was not

neither as good or SIS bad ss might have

STORM ON THE GULF COAST.

Since 4:30 p. m. yesterday Mobile,
Ala, has been isolated by the great Gulf
storm. Before the last wire failed word
was sent that the food was rapidly ris-
ing and approaching the business sec
ton. 1t Ia feared there has been loss Of
life on the islands in Mississippi sound
where the foods OF 1898 wrought terri
BILE havoc. A large part OF the low
section of New Orleans is under
water and there ia great suffering
among the poor. The storm de-
vsloped yesterday into hurri-
cane which did great damage along
the Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabsms,aDd
Florida coast from Pensacola 10
Grande Isle. As usual. all telegraph,
telephone, and other wires are down
from New Orleans to the district where
the storm was worst and all commuDi-
cation by railroad and boat is Cut oil.
The storm was first felt at Lake Pom
chartraiD, in the rear OF New Orleans.
The wind from the southeast, accom-
panied by foot tide. the highest ever
known, raised the lake ten feet or more
above the leyees. The wind blowing
at the rate OF seventy miles an hour,
drove the water over the lake shore
and rear protection levees. Millneburg
and West End, pleasure resorts on the
lake, were first to be affected. At Mill
neburg the water rose several feet In
the houses. The populace sought
refuge during the night on the highest
knoll 10 town and we're brought 10 yes
terday morning to New Orleans proper
by rail. At West End the waters were
driven over the bank built to keep out
the lake water. From their inland TO
Metsire Ridge, q distance of four miles,
the water was from two to eight feet
deep. A number Of buildings at West
End were partially or totally destroyed.
Mobile has been completely isolated
from the outside world. II Ia known
that considerable damage has been done
along the water front 10 Mobile, but
whether there has been loss of life or
not Ia mere conf scture.
