THE OUTLOOK FOR COTTON.
Observation Indicates That an Average Crop May be Expected In Half
 the Cotton States.

St. Louis, Aug. 11.-Dispatches to the Republic from centers of infor- nation on crop prospects in Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Tex as, Oklahoma, Indian territory, Louis jana and Alabama show the present outlook for cotton 70 be generally good.
 An a"erage crop may be expected in at least half the cotton-producing states, while in several, notably Mis- sssippi, Louisiana and Ala bama, the yield will be much better than last year or that of the year before.
 In Texas, where interest is cen tered, owing to the fact that the state produces one-fourth the cotton of the world, the conditions vary widely; in the southeastern part of the state the yield is expected to eX- ceed that of last year by 30 per cent; in southern Texas rains are badly needed, and it is predicted that the crop will be 10 to 90 per cent. short of last years crop; in the central por- tion of the state the crop will prob ably be below the average, owing to damage by drought; in east Texas q crop above the average will be picked, while in north Texas the yield will be just about the average.
 In Oklahoma and Indian territory conservative estimates of this years yield place it at near the average.
 Arkansas cotton fields have suf- fered from drought, but with good weather from now on the crop will not be far from last years.
 In Tennessee, the cotton on the lowlands is in satisfactory condition, while that on the hills will fall short 30 to 40 per cent. of an average crop.
 The cotton-raising counties of southern Missouri suffered as much as any section in the country from the drought, yet the yield of cotton, provided the weather is favorable from now on, will not be many thou sands of bales less than last years. While it is difficult to judge the grade of cotton from what has been | shown so far, it is believed by conserv- ative men, throughout the cotton belt, that it will be at least as good as and probably much better than last years.

THE ACCoMPLICE OF BREsCI
Me Admits Having Started Street Row While Bresci Killed
 King Humbert.

Paris, Aug. 1o.-A dispatch to the Fatrie from Rome says the Anarchist Luigi Gianotti, who is charged, at Milan, with being an accomplice of Bresci, in the assassination of King Humbert, has confessed to his com plicity in the crime. He admits that he left Paterson, N. J., in company with Bresci, and that they went to- gether to Monza, near Milan. Gian- otti started a street row at Monza the day of them under, in order to dis tlact the attention of the police, while Bresci attacked the king.

CONFESSED HE STOLE THE GOLD
Jack Winters Proved to he the Mnn Wanted-Showcd Where He
 Had Concealed It.

San Fransisco, Aug. 11.-Jack Win ters, who was arrested for the Selby smeltlng robbery, has confessed the crime, and so far $150,000 worth of bullion has been recovered from the bay where he had sunk it. For three days the detectives tried all sorts of intimidation to make Winters con- less, but their threats apparently had po effect upon him. Finally he asked to see Supt. Ropp, of the works, who, he said, was the only friend he had In his conversation with Ropp, Winters manner indicated that he knew where the gold had been hidden. Ropp tald him that they had a strong case against him, and that he would be sent to prison for 30 years. He said: "Iou will be an old man when you get out, and it will do you no good to hide the gold. We know it is hidden in the water near the works. and we will search every inch. You may be sure that the gold will be found before you get out of prison"
 Winters finally weakened, and told Ropp that he had taken the gold, and would take him to the spot where it was hidden. The criminal, in company with Supt. Ropp and force or detectives, left on tug for Crockett. There they waited all night for low tide. Win ters pointed out the place, at the end of the railroad wharf, be- hind the coal bunkers, at the beginning of the Vallejo ferry slip. At that point at low tide the mud is about four feet deep, covered by foot of water. When the tug first reached Crockett, Winters point ed out the spot in the water where he said he had thrown the gold.
 Winters himself got into the mud and water up to his neck, and for an hour and half groped for the missing bullion. Up to two o'clock $150,OO0 worth had been recoverd. This includes the four bars of fine gold. Winters had put some of the bars in bags, He said that 41. !
 small bars had dropped out. It is new only question of careful search to find the rest of the $2S0,00O. Win tCrs claims that he did the job all alone. He says that he made 14 trips from the vault to the wharf from whicL he dropped the gold. The smelter officials, however, are posi- tive that he received assistance from someone
