The totsl estimated increase of cot
ton acreage in the United States for
1894 is 71a per cent. or ,341, $50 acres
more than last year, and the average
planting OF the crop is about normal.
Our correspondents report, on account
of cool wes thar and drought, partacu-
larly in the Atlantic States, the
germinatioa of the seed has been slow,
Stands are imperfect in many localities
and some replanting has been neces-
sary. But, in the South Western cotton
States the Weather has been more sea-
sonable, beneficial rains have occurred
and conditi ions are favorable.
AS whole, the prospects Of the cot
ton crop sit this date are far more
pomising than at this. time last year
when the season was abnormally late,
poor stands prevailed and 1eplanting

welt had previous engagements for every
night this week and agreed that next Mon

ing until Good night was shown
BY the time the first returns began to
come in a big crowd was present, and it
wasn't long before the crowd had become a
jam.
1t would have done President Roosevelt's
heart good If he could have heard the spon-
taneous shout of exultation that went up
from thousands of threats when the first
bulletin was displayed declaring that the
republican national ticket had carried New
York by 100000 and that a sweeping repub-
mean victory was conceded by the demo-
cratic managers. 1t was a far different
sound from the perfunctory cheering that
greeted other and more local bulletins, and
1t bore no similarity to the applause and
shouts of approval that greeted the pro-
auctions of the moving picture machine
For in that one shout the crowd seemed to
possess but one voice and but one heart
and the result was something to warm the
blood OF the most unenthusiastic citizen.
And when the red flare on the roof of The
Star building announced that the demo-
cratic party had been showed under there
was another shout.

fact early, for when the returns from all
over the country began to come in at Z
o'clock the crowd in front of The Star
building extended clear across the Ave-
nue. in a solid mass to the very front door
of the Post Office Department and was
packed in 18th street from the Avenue far
up toward E street. On the western ave-
nue. screen and on the 18th street screen
the returns were duplicated, so that every
one in the crowd might have look from
whatever point of vantage he possessed
and on the eastern avenue screen pictures
in black and white and in color and NOV
ing pictures of scenes both instructive and
amusing were shown to fill in the intervals
between the display of bulletins

Enthusiastic and Good Natured.

The downtown crowd last night was ex-
tremely good natured, as such gatherings
in Washington usually are, and from the
indications given in the way of noise and
enthusiasm, it was apparent that its SYM
pathies were about equally divided between
the two parties. A portrait of President
Roosevelt thrown on one of the avenue
screens in front of The Star Office early in
the evening received round of friendly ap
plause. And to close observer there was
not a shade of difference in the reception
accorded to picture portrait of Judge Par
ker, the democratic candidate, shown a mo-
ment later Not that interest was lacking,
however Any who believed that because
the citizens of Washington are not privilege
ed to exercise the right of franchise they
are consequently not vitality interested in a
national election had only to put in an ap
pearance in front of The Star building last
night to find out his mistake. 1t is true
that the bitter partisan spirit which is so
apparent at similar gatherings in other cit
les. where on election day the ballot box is
king, was entirely lacking from last nights
gathering on the avenue, but the close in
terest with which the bulletins We're read
and the returns followed, and the fact that
by far the greater section of the crowd
came and stayed" despite adverse weather
conditions, sufficient evidence that a
national election Is known in Washington

Began to Assemble Early.

1t was barely dusk when several hundred
persons gathered in front of The Star Of
flee. picked out a good position in the street
facing one of the bulletin screens and set
tied themselves with an air of determine
ton that indicated an intention of catch
ing the first bulletin on the fly and remain
