Togo's Address to the Departed.

Toxic. Dec 31.--The Emperor has
III esented Vice-Admirals Togo and
KamimuIa with a number of articles,
inclding watches, formerly worn by
himself. Admiral Togo has declined
the reception rendered him by the mu-
nicipality of Toxic on the ground that
the time is not yet ripe for such a
function.
Vice Admiral Togo today attended
the funeral of q number of officers and
men who were killed at Port Arthur
lille serving under HIM. He read a
eulogy apon them. addressing their
spirits as follows:

does also-although this is less I'M
portant factor-the amount of cotton
marketed before September ] and
consequently included in the COM
mercial crop of the preceding year.
But while for this reason there may
be a considerable difference between
the amount grown and the amount
marketed in single year. the total
for a series of five or more years
ought not to be greatly at variance,
and it is in comparison on a five year
basis that the accuracy of the depart
ment's figures is most strikingly re-
vealed. The total amount of cotton
marketed in the United States in the
five years ending August 81. 1904 was
51,044,125 bales, while the sum Of
preliminary estimates of this depart
ment issued annually in December,
pulls ID per cent. for linters and
sample cotton admittedly a conser-
vative estimate) was 50,G79365 bales,
a difference of only T64, 100 bales for
the five years or 152,952 bales per
annum. When it is remembered that
in not a single one of these five years
did the department over estimate the
crop this close correspondence with
in 15 per cent? becomes all the more
significant.
With regard to the ginners re-
ports published at intervals by the
Bureau of Census. / not only regard
them as of utmost value in them
selves, but I consider the continuance
of their publication by the Census
Bureau as absolutely essential to that
perfect cotton reporting system which
the magnitude of the cotton interests
of the country demand and which
fully believe will in the very near lu-
ture be so thoroughly intrenche1 in
public confidence that nothing can
discredit It.
Very respectfully yours

GOVERNORS DAUGHTER
HAS DIPTHERIA
Four Year-Old Louise Aycock Ill at
Mansion-AIay Interfere With
Inauguration.

1t was announced yesterday that
the four~year-old daughter. Louise,
of Governor Aycock, is sick at the
Mansion with diptheria. The little
girl is understood to be progressing
favorabIy and no danger is antici-
pated. The attack is a mild one.
Aside from the trouble that the
serious nature of the disease will
bring to the parents and the anxiety
that it will cause the Governors
many friends, the attack Is peculiarly
unfortunate, coming as it does just
before the Inauguration of Governor.
The mansion was in course of being
put in order for its new occupant,
and this work will of course have to
stop until the little girl is taken from
the mansion. and the premises have
been properly fumigated. 1t is pos
sible that the inaugural reception
may have to be postponed, and that
Governor Glenn will have to stop
elsewhere than the mansion after
taking office or that the Inaugural
ton itself may be postponed.
Governor and Mrs. Aycock will
have the sympathy Of the entire State
in their misfortune.

(By the Associated Press.)

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 31.-Judge
Tilden in Criminal Court today fixed
the bail of DIR. Chadwick at $4,000.
Attorney Dawley stated that bond
for that amount will probably be
ready when Doctor Chadwick arrives
here. With tears streaming down hel
face and wringing her hands in ner-

in the corridor of the county Jail to
reading of Associated Press dispatches
telling the scenes enacted on board

Mrs. Chadwick was unable to CON

reading of the dispatches at almost
every word with some comment.

not as prisoner, but as guest OF
Sheriff Barry, Mrs. Chadwick exclaim-
ed: Thank God for that"
Referring to the item in reference
to his daughter Mary, Mrs. Chadwick
said: "Oh, the poor girl. How will
she ever bear this frightful affection.
Then when the doctors statement
detailing the charges under what he
had met and married his present wife
was read, Mrs. Chadwick sprang to
her feet and paced up and down the
Jail corridor, shrieked in metal agony
until her cries could be heard
throughout the big building.

The estimates of the amo

The estimates OF the amount ac-
tually, ginned and grown are not
strictly comparable as they stand
with the .so-called commercial crops,
which represent the amounts mark
eted inasmuch as each commercial
crop includes not only from IL to
3 per cent of linters and sample cot
ton, known commercially as the city
CROP but also cotton brought for
ward from proceedings years and so
much of the crop of the succeeding
year as may have been marketed
prior to September 1st,, while, on the
whole, a deduction has to be made
for the cotton of that years growth
marketed during the preceding COM
mercial year or carried forward to
the year following.
independent of these adjustments
the departments preliminary esti-
mate of the crop of 1899 made, it
should be remembered before the en-
tire crop was gathered differed only
20 per cent from the amount market
ed that year; that of the year 1900,
90 per cent; that of 1902, 30 per
cent and that of 1908, 1.5 per cent.
Only once in the last five years, name
ly in 1901, was there any wide descre-
pancy between the departments pre-
liminary estimate of the amount
grown and the commercial crop.
That year the difference was SO great
80 per cent--that a special investi-
cation was made by field agents with
a yiW of aScertaining it's cause and
we find that while the departmnts
estimate of the amount grown vas
9S9, 900 bales less than the CONNER
cial crop proved to be, the estimate
differed only 1872 900 bales or less
than per cent of the actual crop.
The reason for the apparent great
discrepancy was that in addition TO
1722,226 bales of linters and 61343
bales of sample cotton rebaled, the
commercial crop of that year includ-
ed 52S,900 bales grown in proceeding
years and brought out by the high
prices which then prevailed and 1ae,-
1870 bales of the crop of the following
year marketed prior to September /,
1902; there being on the whole 115,-
$3.50 bales of the crop of 1901-l902
marketed prior to September ], 1901
and 154,59 bales Of the same crop
carried over 10 the year l962-19e5,
leaving an actual growth in the year
19ot-t9o2 of 9,966.47S.
