 Eugene Higgins nearly got into serious trouble. on returning here from a two days cruise In his yacht. On mooring he went immediately to the port authorities office and reported that the Varuna had sighted and been followed by a large whale. which was then just outside the harbor. The official in charge imagined that 1t was an April fool joke and threat ened to appease his insulted dignity by putting MT Higgins in jail for twenty four hours.
 Fortunately timely telephone message from Antibes announced that a whale travelling at terrific pace had run aground so far that it was helpless in the shallow water and sand, two thirds of its body out of water and flashing its tail with fury The naval authorities then sent fifteen sailors to kill the mon ster and cut it up.
 The whale is said to have been the largest ever caught anywhere. 1t being lO4 feet long. Scientific men assert that no whale has ever been seen in the Med iterranean sea Before within the mem- ory of man.

Oil Fuel on the Southern Pacific

According to the Railway Age, oil
as fuel continues to prove successful
on all the lines of the Southern Pacific,
and it is understood that general Or
ders have recently been issued for the
conversion of all the engines into oil
burners as soon as possible. Coal will
be abandoned absolutely, land within a
year the Southern Pacific system will
be on an oil basis solely, the order
affecting all the divisions Of the COM
pany. The western" Division of the
road now has si1ty-three oil-burning
engines and eighty-three coal burners.
It is estimated that within eight
months all of the engines viii have
been converted and the use Of coal on
this division permanently abandoned.
During the month of September the
oil burners on that district travelled a
distance of approximately 200, 600 miles.
The coal burning engines passed over
306, 752 miles Of track. It requires on
an average 1000 gallons, or about
twenty -four barrels, Of oil for every
100 miles, as compared to five tons Of
coal, the saving on every 100 miles by
using oil ranging from SIG to $40.
The total saving for the 200,0 miles
travelled by oil-burning engines re-
presents from $4,000 to $40, 600 per
month

The INDIAN COTTON CROP.
Estimates of the Area Planted
For the Season of i9O2-l903.

Washington, October 1.-THE agri-
cultural department has received a
statement issued by the Government
of India on the 1902-03 crop of cotton
Of India. The report. which was sent
here by mail, says there is no reason
for anticipating anything less than a
satisfactory yield generally on an area
at least equal to the average. The
area sown was substantially in excess
of the average in the United and Cen
tral provinces, and elsewhere was
either not below the average or little
in excess of it. In the Punjanb the
total area in cotton at the end of July
was estimated at $50, 800 acres, against
l,021, 100 acres finally determiend last
year, and the condition of the crop is
reported satisfactory. In the North
west frontier province the area lsown
is estimated at l6, 295 acres, decrease
in Peshawar and Kohat as compared
with last year. The crop prospects
there are fairly good.
The area sown in the united pro-
vinces of Agra and Oudn is Is per cent
in excess Of the average and the pros
p6cIS are very IaVOEaU4o' III 1no Souo ;
tral provinces the area sown, $50, 0OC
acres, is generally larger than last year
and very much above the average. The
crop prospects are good. In Berar the
crop is thriving and thes area sown,
estimated at 1,634, coo acres, is less
than last year, but little in excess OF
the average. In Bombay, in the dis
tricts of the Deccan, where the early
crop is grown, there is no anxiety over
the crops and the area sown is about
900, 600, or per cent less than last
years area, but in excess of the aver
age. The crop is in fair condition
in Madras, with a normal area OF
ST. 300, and a favorable crop is reported
from Burma, with an area sown Of

MINERS CONVENTION
TAKES NO ACTION.
But One Obstacle in Way of
Calling or Strike.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 2O.-The
anxiously awaited convention Of the
145, 900 striking miners met today but
did not reach q vote on the proposed
plan of settlement. It is expected to
do SO tomorrow.
There were 662 delegates present in
the Nesbitt theatre, where the conven-
tion was held, and they were empower
ed by their local unions to cast 876
yotesfor or againstP Presi dentR oosevelts'
proposed plan Of arbitration. The
great majority of the delegates were
uninstructed, the few who were being
engineers, fremen and pumpmen who
fear that the 5000 strikers of those
classes may not get back their places
now held by non-union men. This
question of the engineers, fremen and
pumpmen proved the only stumbling
block in the way of almost immediate
adoption of the presidents plan
which carries with it declaring the
strike off, and general resumption
of work through the 175 mile strip of
the hard coal mining region.
At one time today it seemed certain
that the convention was about to adopt
the recommendation ofs.President Nit
chell to end the strike, but the steam
mems plea was too. earnest and the
final vote went over until tomorrow,
when it is next to certain the vote to
declare the strike off will show big
majority for it. The leaders of the
strikers, except Mr.. Mitchell, were
hardly heard at all in the convention
today, the anxious engineers being
allowed to give full expression to their
feelings. But tomorrow, it is predict
ed, the leaders will be heard, and one
OF, them, high district officer, said
today there would not be more than
Is votes recorded against the plan
which the president Of 6he United
States has proposed TO them and which
all the highest of all the mine work
ers in this region earnestly have re-
commended.
There were two sessions, forenoon
and afternoon, today and the net
result as regards the progress of the
convention toward its great object
was a permanent organization with Mr..
Mitchell in the chair, his speech laying
the presidents plan before the dele
gates, his eloquent impromptu speech
advocating its adoption, and the ap-
pointment of a committee on resolu-
tions. This committee, as Mr.. Nit
chell said to the delegates, would pre-
pare q formal statement to the public,
telling fully and carefully why the con-
vention decided to continue the strike,
If it should so decide; and why the
strike was declared off If that was the
outcome of their deliberations.

RAGE RIOT IN ALABAMA.
Blacks Fire on a Posse Killing
Three Whites Follows Assault
of a White Women.

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 19.-Three
white men and eight negroes are re-
ported to have been killed In a race
riot at Littleton, Ala, small town
25 miles southeast of this city tonight.
The number of wounded has not yet
been ascertained.
n A special train carrying Sheriff An
drew ". Bergen and ten deputies left
for the scene of the riot at, 10 o'clock
tonight.
The riot is said to have been caused
by a crowd of negroes attacking a
white woman who was passing over a
railroad bridge en- route home from a
visit to neighbor.
AS soon as the white citizens of the
town learned of the attack they I'M
mediately began their search for the
woman.s assailants. The negroes re-
fused to deliver the woman's assaiiants
and armed themselves to protect their
leaders. When the posse arrived the
negroes opened fire, killing three of
the officers. The deputies returned
the fire, killing eight negroes.
Owing to the large number OF
negroes, who outnumbered the whites
ten to one, the posse was forced to re-
treat. The negroes are reported to be
in complete possession of the town and
have entrenched themselves. The
negroes have captured powder mag
azine, the property Of a coal company
and are strongly fortified.
