Captain of Steamer Saw Floating
 Islands inhabited by Monkeys.

New York, June 1.-The Norwegian steamer Donald, from Rains, with fruit, has arrived here, says a Philadelphia special to the World. Captain Warneck told this remarkable tale:
 We were two days out from Bains and about thirty miles from Watlin' s Island. in the Caribbean Sea, when we came upon floating island. I, with the mate and several of the crew, rowed to- ward it. Thousands of little monkeys scampered all about the shore, and when we were in range they began lombard ment by shying cocoanuts at us. We cap tured two monkeys.
 "The following day we discovered an- ether floating island and landed. This tive we were greeted by a covey of parrots of most brilliant plumage. '
 Captain Warneck decided that the erup- ton in Martinique had shaken up the entire district, and the small pieces of land had become separated from some uninhabited island.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Lord Kitchener.

'.The English admirers of Lord bitche- her seem to be disappointed that he was not advanced more than one Fank in the peerage," said a British subject soJourn- ing in the Birmingham district.
 "Kitchener now a baron is to be made a viscount but it was generally believed he would be made a marquis.
 There was also disappointment that the money award for his services In South Africa was fixed at only G5O'OOO' One hundred thousand about a half-mil- lion dollars, was thought by many to be little enough. Kitchener has been made full general which carries large salary something like R1O,O0O a year For his services in the Soudan parliament voted him GSO,OoO so it is seen that General Kitchener has been taken care of pretty we'll after all
 Tn a republic like the United States no military hero ever gets any money for his services outside of his regular pay, and this is not large compared with the army and navy pay of the old nations. My idea is that England, Germany and other large oldworld nations are too lavish, while the United States government is too close in the matter of paying it's high officials civil and military. Fifty thousand dollars a year is certainly a small salary for the President, and se0OO for cabinet officers and $75OO for ma aior- generals seem nig- eardly sums"

Platform of Indiana Democrats.

The platform of the Democrats of Indiana may be accepted as the best basis of the coming elections. It de- cIares first, against the trusts; sec ond1y, against the tariff that bred the trusts, and, lastly, against imperialism In the Philippines. This will be apt to be the order of the issues this fall, and practically perhaps the contest will be fought out over the trusts and the tariff, because it will be difficult to induce the average man to take an interest in lot of islands on the other side of the globe. True, the manipula- ton of those islands by the administra- tion is changing the nature of the home government, but this change is SO subtle that the voter will neglect it in many cases.
 Beyond a doubt the battle will be over the trusts and the tariff, and this issue is compactly and justly presented by the Indiana Democrats in these words:
 I've denounce the Republican party for It's surrender to and alliance with the trusts, and we favor such legislation as will suppress and destroy all trusts or combinations to control the production and price of commodities
 we denounce the Dingley tariff law as the breeder of trusts and demand that tariff duties shall be levied for the pur- poses of revenue only and limited by the needs of the government honestly and economically administered"
 This Is the ground the Democrats can win on, and any better is not needed so far as the general fighting Is concerned. A locality or State may demand something additional. but the national Democracy should rise or fal by the first two blanks of the Indiana % platform. It is Democracy undefiled and there is not a Democrat who can not and will not support both, and there is not an intelligent, unselfish patriot in the land who does not de- sire to see both carried into law and effectually executed.

Hepburn or Spooner.

The Nicaragua or Hepburn bill is now before the Senate. This is the Dill that the House passed almost unanimously. The international rail roads have always depended upon the Senate, and 1t Is in that body that their light of this year will be made.
 They have practically concentrated themselves upon the Spooner amend nent, which calls for the adoption of he Panama route by the President If ne can procure good title to tiff not, he is to adopt the Nicaragua 'oute. This plan would throw upon me man the choice of a route, al- though Congress was elected to select route, and both political parties are committed to action by Congress.
 The object of the Spooner amend nent Is not to furthes- the building of

Cotton Crop in Fine Condition.

The government report puts the acreage in cotton at 27,S7S 900 acres, or a trif1e more than the acreage of last year. The eastern part of the cotton belt shows decreases, but there are increases in Texas, In Indian Ter ritory, in Oklahoma, and if the season be favorable the country west of the Mississippi will make a great crop. There are today fully 3,000,000 more acres in cotton than there were in 1898, when there was a crop of Il, ,274.- GOO bales.
 The condition of the crop Is very high--95.1. Only twice before has the condition of the crop at this season of the year been better. The crop stands nearly ten points higher in condition than the average condition of the last ten years. There is neither excess of moisture nor excess of dry. hOSS HI any CtdLc, nut even III 1eXdS, which generally is able to have a sec tion that has poor outlook. North Carolina makes the poorest showing but even there the condition of the crop is four points better than it was last year at a corresponding time.
 The crop Is not made, however, in June. The crop-making and crop determining months are July and Au. gust, and these will determine what the crop is to be. The most that can be said now Is, there is a possibility of great crop, but this possibility is wholly dependent upon weather condi- tions hereafter, which may make or mar 1t. The crop has fine start, the acreage is large, but no one can say what the suns and rains will do in July and August.

an isthmian canal. It's sole and only object consists in securing delay until the heats of dog days drive Congress into adjournment, and to muddle the entire question with a plausible prop osition.
 The Spooner amendment is simply an additional and a shrewd step on the part of the international railroads, and as such 1t should be opposed and fought down. It should be voted out, and every Southern Senator should line up against this attack of the rail- road combine upon the Nicaragua ca- nal. It should be met boldly and fought tenaciously. It is the old bat tie in a new lorna battle that has been going fifty years, and that the railroads hope to carry on fifty years longer.

FOR A PRIMARY.

From the Greenville Advocate.
 Hon. Craig Smith. the present State Treasurer and a candidate for reelection. in an interview with the Montgomery Ad- vertiser last week, declared emphatically in favor of Democratic primary. He says the people want 1t and the State Executive Committee should order it.
 The ice is now broken and it will be only few days before the other candi- dates will come to the front and express themselves. We are of the opinion that all of them should let the voters know how they stand on the question. If they are opposed to the primary let them say so and at the same time give their objections. If they think primary is the best just say so.

A FALSE STEP.

By Mrs. Browning. Sweet! thou hast trod on a heart:
 Pass! there's a world full of men; And women as fair as thou art
 Must do such things now and then. Thou only hast stepp'd unaware,
 (Malice no one can impute); And why should a heart have been there In the way of a fair woman's foot? It was not stone that could trip
 Nor was it a thorn that could rend; Put up thy proud under lip.
 Twas merely the heart of friend. And yet, peradventure one day
 Thou sitting alone at the glass, Remarking the bloom gone away
 Where the smile in its dimpiemeat W. z And seeking around thee in vain,
 From hundreds who f1atter'd before. Such a word as 70. not in the main
 Do I behold thee less precious, bu
 more"
 Thou Wilt sigh, very like, on thy part
 ''Of all have known, or can know. I wish had only that Heart
 trod upon ages ago!' \

WILL OBEY THE LAW.
Meat Packer Says Each Man VIII Con-
 duct His Own Business.

New York, June 5.-A. B. Boardman ot counsel for the packers of meat against whom Justice Chester of Albany granted an injunction yesterday, will be quoted in the Tribune tomorrow as saying:
 We shall not attempt to vacate this injunction. The order means that each packer will henceforth carry on his busi- ness independently of every other packer and will not consult credits and price lists of other firms before preparing his own. No attempt, direct or indirect will be made to violate the courts order The packers will, of course, continue business The restraining order concerns only their managers, agents, attorneys and servants from fixing and determining by a combi- nation the prices to be charged and the regulation of the amount of meat to be brought by them into this state"

Beer and Whisky.

Beer Is a temperance drink and 1t is only those who swill it who are hurt by it," said an old beer drinker. "I am glad to see the beer trade increasing every year, because the more bee we drink as a nation the less whisky we consume Internal revenue statistics show that the consumption of whisky is less now than 1t was ten years ago.
 ''W .isky Is a great evil, except when drunk in strict moderation. Two or three drams day will help weak hearts and there is no medicine good for dyspep- sia as old-fashion grog slipped at meals. A dyspeptic should never drink liquor except at meals and then the grog should be weak-three tablespoonsful of whisky to goblet of water. But for people in good health beer is the right beverage"

PEOPLE vs. COMMITTEE.
m the Roanoke Leader

From the Roanoke Leader.
 It Is generally conceded that the great majority of Democrats in Alabama want state primary, but that a majority of the state executive committee is averse to choosing their officers in a direct man. ner. We do not see how the committee, which Is merely a creature of the party, can afford to ignore the will of It's creator. But if 1t should there will be dissatisfac- ton and trouble. The Leader does not ad- vocate a split On the other hand we believe in settling all such questions within the party. If a convention Is or dered 1t seems to us practicable scheme to make the selection of delegates In each county on the primary issue. Then let them go to the convention and, if in the majority, create an executive commit tee in favor of primary, instruct them to arrange the date and details of such an election and then let the convention adjourn.

GOMEZ REFUSES PENSION.
Says He Could Not Accept 1t Wher
 Others Get Nothing.

Havana, June 5.-Genera1 Maxine Co., meg has published an open letter here ir which he refuses to accept the annual pension of $60oO provided for him In res. olution which is now before the Cuban house of representatives. General Gomez asks his friends to defeat this resolution saying 1t would be unfair to him to ac- cept money so long as the other Cuban soldiers have not been provided for.
 General Gomez asserts he has a bill against the government for war services which some day will have to be paid, but that he is willing to wait until such time as Cuba can pay all her soldiers.
