'In fractions of a bale.


Elm fractions of a bale.
Some ideas of the crop now growing
may be had when it is considered that
il the yield per acre should be as
large as the largest, /. e., 1878, the
crop would be 1462S,000 while If it
should be as small as in 1867. and
smaller even than last year, it would
still he at least 100000 bales. II the
yield per acre should be the same as
last year the crop would be 1924, 900
bales. while a production equal to the
average Of the past ten years would
be 12,51S, 900 bales. In any case it
seems now TO be reasonably certain
that the supply OF cotton next year
will be entirely adequate to the de-
mand and were il not so the effect
which recent high prices have had up
on sentiment, cents a pound would
now be regarded as II was until two
years ago as a very high price for cot
ton. (Signed) Theo. IL. Price.-ad.

STRIKING CHANCE
 IN THE SITUATION
New French Law is Sweeping
 Measure
MEANS ENTIRE SEPARATION
Question of Separation of Church and State Will Come Up In Cham. Der of Deputies In
 January.

Paris, May 2S.-Premier Combes' an- nouncement that the question of the separation of chuch and state would come up in January has drawn attention to the law already formulated by the committee on the sparation of church and state It Is a sweeping measure. the opening clauses reading as follows:
 "1ne republic assures freedom of con science and 1t guarantees the free exer- else of religion without restriction except for the preservation of public order.
 "The republic will neither protect nor pay salaries nor subventions under any form whatever to any denomination. It will not recognize any minister of relig ion and will not furnish any building for the services of any denomination or for the lodging of any of it's ministers" :"
 The measure further abolishes the con- cordat, suppresses the French embassy at the vatican and makes detailed pro- vision for the disposal of the govern ment's extensive possession of church property.
 In comparison with the present regime under which the clergy are salaried of ficials and the minister of public worship is one of the members of the cabinet, the foregoing makes a striking change in long established secular conditions.

DARING ROBBERY IN CHICAGO STORE Fourteen Customers and Clerks
 Were There TAPPED THE CASH REGISTER Four Men Entered Shoe Store, Drew Revolvers and Took Possession
 and Then Made Their
 Escape.
TAPPED THE CASH REGISTER

Chicago. May 2S.-One of the boldest and quickest robberies Chicago has known in years was committed tonight in less than a minute at the shoe store of Frazin & Oppenheim, 165 Madison street, one square from the city hall and the cen tral police station There were fourteen customers in the store, and six clerks were attending to their wants, when four men entered the place in succession, each about five fet behind the man in front of him.
 One of the clerks started forward to meet the supposed customers, when three of the men drew revolvers each robber having two weapons, and ordering the clerks and customers to the rear of the store. While the people were hastening to obey the fourth man took all the cash from the register, $3S1. and then the four robbers ran out in Madison street and disappeared.
 The store is slightly below the street level, but while the robbery was in pro- gross the doors were open and the people passing along Madison street had plain view of the inside of the store. The rob- bery was carried out so quickly, how ever, that there was no possibility of in- reference, and the men escaped.

METHODISTS ARE
 LEAVING FOR HOME
BUSINESS OF THE GENERAL CON- FERENCE IS ABOUT COMPLETED AND THERE MAY BE NO oUo- RUM TOMORROW.

Los Angeles May 2-The Methodist general conference rushed through a vast amount of business today during its three sessions, and when adjournment was taken late tonight had cleared the field of all important subjects.
 As the time for adjournment approach es there is less desire on the part of the delegates to enter into prolonged debate and many left for their homes tonight. So numerous, indeed, have been the de- partures, that the convention is likely to find itself without a quorum on Monday Unless something important comes up on that day, 1t is not probable that this point will be urged.
 The heresy question which had been held up by many as a thing on which there would be prolonged and heated de- bate proved to be a very small matter after all. 1t was dismissed with a report brought in by the committee on educa- tion, the conference adopting it's recom- mendations without a ripple of excite ment. There was no debate except brief speech by Dr. Munhall, who is credited with being the leader of the forces op- posed to the so-called higher criticism in the theological colleges. Dr. Muphall merely gave his opposition to Bible critic ism, and declared himself favorable to the report as presented.

Further Details of capture.

Washington, May 2s.-The Japanese le- gation this afternoon received the fol- lowing official dispatch: E
 Tokio, May 2S.-The following are fur ther details of the attack on Kin Chou:
 The attack of the enemy at Nanshan Hill commenced at 2:35 a. m. of the 18th. The enemys defensive works were of al- most a permanent nature and their artill- cry of fifty guns of various calibre and two quick firing field artillery companies. Their infantry ranged in two or three lines in covered trenches, with loop holes and placed machine guns in complete points and offered a stubborn resistance. We ranged all our field guns on the forts and the enemy's principal artillery, and silenced eleven of them. while quick firers previously retired to Nankwang and continued firing until night, where our artillery concentrated fire on the enemy's trenches and our infantry forces ad- vanced within four or five hundred metres from the enemys position, but the wire entanglements and mines lay before us and the enemy's position.
 We tried several charges but this still proved unsuccessful, officers and men all falling wllnin twenty ior thirty metres from the enemy's position Thereupon our artillery began a heavy fire in the evening. During the severest cannonad- ing the last charge was made and the breach was opened with great difficulty through which we gained the whole height, expelled the enemy and captured all the guns on the forts. One fortunate incident in the attack was the discovery of mine at the eastern foot of Nan shan Hill, the cutting of which prevented heavy loss"

MAY SELL WHOLE
 TOWN AT AUCTION
COURT ISSUES ORDER GRANTING | THEM TITLE TO ALL PROPERTY ON WHICH ARKANSAS TOWN IS
 BUILT.

Little Rock, Ark, May 8.-A special to the Gazette from Carlisle, Ark says;
 Unless the courts intervenes the entire town of Carlisle and about 34OO acres or land surrounding the town will be sold at public sale June 9, on an order grant ed by the probate court of Lonoke coun- ty to the heirs of the original owner of the land.
 The order was secured by the guardian of three minor heirs of a Frenchman named Somio, who years ago owned all the land on which the town of Carlisle now stands, as well as much of the sur rounding country. The original owner sold most of the land years ago, but in 1879. presumably to make title clear he secured a patent from the state for the whole tract. He failed, it is said, to make new deeds, however. for the land which he had sold, and as a result the heirs now claim the property. Three of the grand children of the original owner, who now reside in Louisiana. claim an un- divided sixteenth of the property and through their guardian secured an order for the sale of the whole tract.
 The citizens of Carlisle held mass meeting and decided to raise a fund to carry on fight against the claimants

SHEFFIELD LADIES ATTACKED BY NEGRO Mayor Saves the Culprit from Enraged Citizens
 - IS TAKEN TO TUSCUMBIA One of the Ladies Tried to Defend Herself With Pitchfork Until
 Their Cries Attracted
 Help.
IS TAKEN TO TUSCUMBIA

Tuscumbia, May 2S.-fspecial )-rhis afternoon at o'clock while the majority of the citizens were attending a ball and Anniston a drunken negro named Archi Bird attacked Mrs Mcdonald and Mrs. Clarke, two ladies who had just left the door of the latter's home in Sheffield. The thoroughly frightened women ran into the garden of the house in terror and Mrs Mcdonald seized garden fork to protect them.
 The negro cursed and wrenehed the fork from the hands of the woman and was about to attack them when Marshal Kirby and a man named Lacy happened along the street, which is in the central part of the city. The ladies screamed for help, the men ran into the yard and knocked the negro down with brick.
 The officer hastily carried him to the city jail and after doctor had been call- ed to attend to the ladies everything was quiet. When the crowd came home from the ball park. men clustered in knots and spoke indignantly of the outrage and loudly affirmed that he should be lynch ed It needed only leader to have the crowd storm the jail.
 Tn about half an hour groups of men started for the jail and in short time an enormous crowd was on the run to the place, but they found that Bird Fad flown, the mayor having instructed Cap tain Weston to hurry the negro out of the city.
 It was reported that he had been seen going to Tuscumbia in the custody of the officer. The crowd then attempted to hold up an electric ear to take them to Tuscumbia. The attempt was follow ed by the motorman running the car to- ward the Florence bridge, on the instance of those who were opposed to the lynch- ing.
 Captain Weston safely landed the pris- oner in the county jail at Tuscumbla. crowd gathered for a while and at pres ent is dispersing. From latest reports 1t is thought that peaceful methods will prevail The officials of both cities are on the alert to protect the prisoner at ali possible hazards and 1t Is thought now that there will be no trouble.

American Trainer Gets Medal.

Paris, May 2S.--The French Hu- mane society has given a handsome prize and a gold medal to Eugene Leigh. the American trainer, for the exemption of his stables from brutal ity, the thoroughness of their sanitary equipment and the special care given to the horses. This leads French turf circles to make sarcastic reference to the alleged American methods of giv- ing stimulants to race horses.
