No Money in Cotton. Prices Kept Down by New York and New Orleans Gamblers. New York Sun. WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 -Daria g tbe Fifty-third Congress the Seuate Com? mute OD Agriculture and Forestry was authorized by'the Senate to make an inquiry opon the existing depression in farm products, aod Senators George, Bate aod Procter we?e selected as a sub committee to take in hand tbe por? tion of the inquiry concerning the depressed price of cotton Senator George submitted their report to day. The sub-committee ascertained that with the prices prevailing in the years 1891, 1892 and 1893 in nearly every part of the cotton-producing region the cost of production equalled if it did not exceed, the value of the cot too raised. There is a general concensus of opinion that eotton cannot, except under most favorable circumstances, be raised profitably at less than eight cents per pound, nor without loss under seven cents. Two causes for .the low prices of cot? ton are cited-dealings io future? and the demonetization of silver. The committee in arguing the right of the Federal Government to legislate on the subject, declares that the busi? ness of dealing in futures and cotton can be transacted only in the two ex? changes of New York and New Orleaos, and that the latter is merely an annex to the former. The com? mittee concludes that the dealings of these exchanges interfere with the inter-state commerce, and the power of Congres* should be exercised to abolish them. The demonetization of silver is re garded as the most potent cause of the low price of cotton, but the committee concedes that there is no immediate prospect of removing this cause. Therefore they recommend cotton raisers to keep their money at home by raising their>own supplies and diversi? fying their crops, and invest the money now spent for these io erecting cotton and other factories.

Yesterday, in the office of the Secre- j tary of Stare were filled for record, a j . large number of papers explaining J what has followed the sale of the Charleston. Sumter and Northern Rail- ! road. The first 'and most imp?t tant was the deed announcing the sale of the road to B. F Newcomer and others, and stating that the purchasers had formed a company to be knowu as the Charleston and Northern Railroad At a meeting of the oew company the members authorized the ??sue of bonds ? not to exceed $800,000, the Safe ? Deposit and Trust Company of Bain- j more, being the trustees. The Charleston and Northern lias j sold to the Cheraw'and Darlington j Railroad for $256,900 that portion of tbe road running from Darlington to the North Carolina line. The company has also sold to the ' Manchester and Augusta Railroad for ; ?425,0*00 ali of that portion of the road from Darlington to Suinter. Preg- J nails and Eutawvilie-seventy-eight miles. . j And to the Wilson and Sommerton i for ?125,000, the portion of the line ' from Sumter to Manon-thirty miles, j The Hartsville Railroad has been deeded to the Cberaw -ind Darlington for ?50,000. This road is ten miles in j length. * The Charleston and Northern has also ; leased to the Manchester and Augusta j the line between Sumter and Marion for ! the annual rental of ?6,250.- The ; State Mrs. Eva Wilder Broadhead, known io literature as Eva Wilder McGlasson, I and who is now enjoying a "wedding trip on and about the Mediterranean, u said to be the youngest established magazinist tn the country.

Hall during Ex-Priest Slavery's lee ture to uight. Several hnudred peo? ple gathered in the silents, drawn by curiosity. There was no disturbance, however. The police kept the crowds moving on and whenever a koot of people stopped within a block of the hall, it wa? ordered to "move on " Seven hundred people were in the hall, and listened to the lecture, which was a discussion of the theoiogy of the Roman Catholic church and an alleged exposure of the secrets of the Confes? sional. The lecturer dealt largely in ridicule and satire. The crowd iu tbe hali was quiet and orderly and seem? ingly in sympfhy with the lecturer. At the close of the lecture. Slattery announced that A. P. A. organizers would be in Savauuah within twenty four hour?. He said that he was a member of-the A. P. A., but deoied that he was a representative of the organization. The crowds on the out? side of the hall waited for Slattery'* appearance ,and there were fears that au attempt might be made to attack him. A detail of police was drawn up iu front of the hall entrance and escorted the ex-priest to his hotel, half a dozen blocks away., The crowd followed but there was no troubh. A hundred or more were at the Imte? when he arrived. The street was cleared and Slattery, who was accompanied by his wife, entered the corridor There was but one arrest, that of a Di n-sympathizer who shouted au offensive epithet at the <x priest ' as he passed and who was arrested for disorderly conduct. Ten arrests have been made so far for participator in Monday night's disturbance. Three were giveu ten days sentences iu jail and on** was fined S10. Six are,, yet to be given a hearing Late to-night, the eleventh irrest was made. Slattery annouoced ro-night that he would go from here- to Atlanta. Hi> wife lectured this afternoon io several hundred on the sisterhood of the church and the Confessional. Cadetship to Woolwich and Sand? hurst, in England, to St. Cyr, in France, to the Gerran, Austrian and Russian military academies, are all i obtained by pen competitive examin- i ations or by appointments, tempered by ! the same Night refuges io Paris ohelter the arts The uine et<tabiisbmeutx in IS93 were used by 137 actors, forty-three singers, seventy-one musicians, twelve ? pianists.-twenty architects, 39S artists (paiuters), fourteeu authors and eight ' cen journalists. The proportion of women suicides to ; that of mcu is small; whether because ! their moral courage is less, their moral courage more or their woes lighter, it ' would be interesting to know. It may, ? however, Ue safely assumed that the last named is not the reason, ob.-erves . the New Orleans Picayune. lt is treated as a striking innovation \ that the weekly edition of the London Times, heretofore what Harold Fred? erick, ia the New York Times, terms the driest and most literal of all earth, ly publications, is to begin iu its uex ? number a serial novel by Mrs. AI. E i Francis, called r*A daughter ot* the | Soil." With "The Thunderer" dally? ing in fiction, it is felt that almost anything can happen. Geneva, the centre of the Swiss watch industry, will hold an inter? national competition in 189G for tim? ing chronometers One thousand dollars will be given in prizes. Com? petitors may send as few as three or as many as fifteen chronometers to the Geneva Observatory, aud the prizes will be awarded on the meao \ performance of the best three time? pieces sent iu by each candidate. One of the toudeucies of the age in the way of railroad improvement noted by the New York Telegram, is rhe increased length of rails. The Penn? sylvania has laid a few miles of sixty foot rails, aud the Lehigh Valley has been trying forty-five foot rails Now the Columbus, Hocking Valley an ": Toledo will lay a few miles of the sixty foot rails as an experiment. The util? ity of the loog rails is that it requires fewer joints, and, io consequence, af? fords smooth riding. A memorial from the legislative as- i seoibly of Arizona has beeu presented to congress requesting that the lands cov? ered by the petrified forest be withdrawn from entry until the advisability of making a public park of it can be set? tled. Thc lands are i rt Apache county, teu miles equare, and, according to the memorial, are covered by trunks of trees, some of which measure over 200 feet in length and from seven to ten feet iu diameter. The legislature repre? sents that "ruthless curiosity seekers are destroying these huge trees and i ?gs by blasting then in pieces in search of crystal^, which ar?.- found io the center of many of them, while car-loads of the limbs and smaller pieces ar" being shipped away t.. be ground up for va? rious purposes/' Thc puk. or "chal? cedony desert,"" !... annually visited by hundreds of scientific men and .travel rs from every estate.
