The departments S estimate hereto
fore has been in bales of 478
pounds lint, ~ pounds for bagging
and ties, not included, but, of
course, a farmer understands bale
of cotton to be its gross weight, in
cluding bagging and ties.
The estimate in gross weight
ought not to confuse any one, since
the cotton experts and the cotton
farmers, too. are familiar with the
difference in gross and net weight,
and the calculation from gross to
net weight, and vice versa is quite
easy.
II think these criticisms are per-
haps based upon a n1isapprehen-
sion of the situation, and I think
they do the statistical bureau an in
justice, unwittingly, [ know. 1t
may be that this was an unfortun-
ate time for the secretary to change
the basis of his estimate in view Of

at That Port.

New York, Nov. 10.-The squadron
of Rear Admiral Prince Louis of Bat
tenberg, consisting of six armored
cruisers, arrived at this port during
the day. The British warships passed
in by Sandy Hook at 7:2S a. NJ, the
flagship Drake, with the prince on
board, in the lead, followed by the
Bedford, Berwick, Cornwall, Essex and
Cumberland.
AS the British squadron passed Gov
ernors island, the headquarters of the
army of the East, each cruiser gave
the national salute Of twenty -one guns
which was answered by the guns of
Governors island. The cruisers then
passed rapidly up the Hudson river
and dropped anchor in the stations as
signed to them north of Thirty-fourth
street, beside the American squadron.

RAILROAD STRIKE THROUGHOUT
AUSTRIA ASSUMES SERIOUS
PROPORTIONS.
GOVERNMENT EXPECTS DISORDERS
SOLDIERS BEING SENT TO VARi.
Gus PLACES IN READINESS
FOR SERVICE.

Vienna, Nov. 10.-The passive re
sistance" strike movement became eff
fectiVe on the railroads during the
day at the Viennese stations. Already
the traffic delays are serious.
Reports from Bohemia say the situa
tion is serious and rapidly growing
worse. The government is preparing
for possible disorders. Troops are be
ing gotten into readiness for active
service and further reinforcements are
being sent to Prague, where a general
trike is threatened in support of the
demand for universal suffrage.
The ministry of communications
is revising the railroad regulations,
which will be Immediately issued to
the employees in the hope of breaking
down the passive resistance" move
ment. Among the advantages to the
railroad men of this novel system of
striking is that they still draw pay and
cannot be removed, as theoretically
their attitude is correct.
The railroad men of Austria are
poorly paid A shunter gets about
$3.50 a year and the brakemen and
conductors 1920 and $3.50, respectively.
It is estimated that the increase of 20
per cent demanded will increase the
payrolls by S5,000,000. The men also
demand shorter hours.

MASSACRE OF MISSIONARIES
Refugee Gives Horrifying Details ot
Atrocity.

Hongkong, Nov. 10.-Dr. Machle, the
American missionary who escaped the
massacre at Iienchow, confirming the
previous accounts Of the outbreak
adds horrifying details of the atrocities
committed on the American women.
When the disturbances commenced
the mob seized Miss Chestnut and
Mrs. Machle and exposed them to
public view in the Chinese temple.
Amy Machle, the doctors ten-year-old
child, was carried off and flung alive
into the river. The rioters stripped
Miss Chestnut naked and flung her
into the river. While the two were
struggling in the water three China
men speared them with tridents. Miss
Chestnut's body and Amy Machle's
head were pierced. Mrs. Machle ap-
pealed to the rioters, but the mob
stoned her brains out, stripped the
body and flung it into the river. The
mob then captured Mr.. and Mrs. Peale
stripped them naked, exposed them
for fifteen minutes, dubbed Mr.. Peale
to death in his wife's presence and
subsequently killed Mrs. Peale in the
same brutal fashion.

years ago, one of the state officers
thot this county was morally DounG
to pay these claims, if not legally
! bound to do SO. But the county of
ficers have nothing to do with the
moral obligations of the county and
therefore the moral question cannot
be considered. The county officials
have no right to discharge a moral
obligation of the county, no matter
how much they desire to do so; and
it well may be doubted that there
is any moral obligation on the part
of the present taxpayers of this coun-
ty to pay the individual debts of a
few residents of this county contract
ed from ten to fifteen years ago by
virtue of statute admitted to be
unconstitutional. On this subject our
supreme court has said in the case
of Minnesota Sugar company vs. Iver-
son, 81 Mimi, page so, that "a moral
obligation can never be deemed to
rest upon the people of the state to
discharge contract made by the
legislature in direct violation of the
constitution. A moral obligation upon
the part of the state must have some
thing more substantial than legisla-
ton obnoxious to the fundamental
laws to rest upon. In this last nam
ed case, the state refused to pay
the money voted by the legislature
to the sugar company on the ground
that the act was unconstitutional.
The sugar company claimed that it
had expended large sums of money
because of the act of the legislature
in voting the money and claimed
that the state was morally bound to
make the payment.
''It was stated in those news
paper articles l mentioned that
had informed the county commission
ers of this county that they did not
have to pay these claims. This is not
exactly what 1 said. Ever since /
learned of these claims I have ad-
yised the county officers, not that
they did not have to pay these
claims, but that they could not law
fully pay them for the reason that
they were not legal claims against
the county. If they are not legal
claims against the county, the Off
GERS have no discretion in the matter
and have no right to pay
them"

: the town.
! st. Petersburg, Nov. 10.-Intense ex-
citement prevails here owing to the
] alarming news from Cronstadt. Ac,
! cording to the reports a mutiny of the
| sailors occurred during the night and
! was followed by a regular battle with
the troops, during which machine guns
were used. The workmen sided with
the sailors and hundreds were killed
or wounded. Later the torch was used
and the town is now in flames. 1t is
reported that the glare of the fire can
be seen from the windows of the en-
peror's palace at Peterhof.
The inhabitants of Cronstadt are IN
panic. The boats to st. Petersburg
have stopped, running and telephone
and telegraphic communications have
been severed.
1t is impossible to verify the reports
or secure details of the happenings.
Later Reports Of the Mutiny.
The most recent reports from Cron-
stradt say that the Navy club has been
wrecked, that many shops have been
burned and that a great crowd Of riot
ers, including sailors, is marching
through the town shooting and other
wise terrorizing the population. People
are fleeing from the city on board
steamers for st. Petersburg. The
clergy of Cronstadt have organized a
procession, hoping to prevent the
spread of incendiarism and pillage.
Later reports from Cronstadt only
magnify the horror Of the situation.
The mutiny was complete, according
to the latest report, not only the
sailors but the garrison of some OF
the forts joining in the insurrection.
The few soldiers and sailors who re-
manned loyal fought all night against
the mutineers and the workmen who
enlisted under the banner of revolt.
Barricades were thrown up. The re-
port that machine guns were used is
apparently confirmed.
A force of Uhlan cavalry sent to
Cronstadt from Peterhof is reported
to have joined the insurgents. 1t is
also reported that the artillery men
of the fortress have joined the insur
gents.

BALLOT BOXES REFUSED.
Election Board Declines to Look After
Their Safety.

New York, Nov. 10.-Aided by an
array of legal talent, in which are law
yers of great prominence not only as
masters of their profession but also
as leaders in more than one movement
for good government in this city, Will
liam r. Hearst has begun his fight in
the courts for the mayoralty which he
believes he won in Tuesdays election
and his first step has created situa-
ton apparently without precedent.
He obtained from Justice Gaynor Of
the supreme court an order directing
the police to turn over all ballot boxes
to the board of elections at once. The
police obeyed the order as far as they
could, but when they proceeded, in the
after-midnight hours, to the election
boards Office there was no one there
to take custody of the boxes and the
policemen were compelled to remain
In the street for hours guarding the
of the peoples votes.
Later John K. Voorhis, president of the
board, declined to accept responsibility
in the matter pending advice from the
corporation counsel Mr.. Voorhis is
Democrat and when his decision was
made known the Hearst men turned
to Charles w. Page, Republican
member of the board, but he also de-
clined to act and then the police were
left in the strange position of trying
to carry out the courts orders but un-
able to do so. The street in the
vicinity of the election board Offices
presented strange sight, as hundreds
of policemen stood on guard around
the patrol wagons and other vehicles
in which the boxes had been conveyed
from the various precinct station
houses.
Reason for Courts Order.
Mr.. Hearst's order was obtained
from Justice Gaynor after the circula-
tion of a story that a printing firm had
been turning out large numbers of fac
SMILES of the official ballot and that
these were to be marked for Mcclellan
and placed in the ballot boxes in
place of Hearst ballots to be removed.
The moment this rumor reached the
Hearst headquarters it was decided
that the ballots ought not to remain
longer in the stationhouses and the
application to Justice Gaynor was
made as quickly as the papers could
be drawn up.
Among the attorneys aiding Hearst
Is William M. WINS, the Republican
candidate for mayor in Tuesdays
election. Mr.. WINS volunteered his
services to Mr.. Hearst and the offer
vas accepted Another attorney act
ng for Hearst is Judge John F. Dillon,
who was at one time Judge of the !
supreme court of Iowa.
President Voorhis said that even if |
he legal decision should be that his |
BOARD must receive the ballot boxes
le would have them sent under police
,uard to some storage place other than
is office, which was too small for the
urpose.
Shortly before noon extra police
we're called out to keep order in the
icinity of the ballot boxes in Man
attain.
At noon Police Inspector Max
took charge of the ballot
OK wagons in Manhattan and said
nat they will remain in store until the
counsel gives his decision.
