SEVERAL PETITIONS FOR DELIV? ERY OF CONSIGNED COTTON, Fourteen Hundred Rales <>r Cotton Involved in suit by the Meltonlan. i Charlestoni Jan. l.?Six or seven new suits, most of them petitions for the recovery of cotton consigned to the McCabe Company, but not yet ac? tually transferred, were died in tin United states court yesterday, bearlne 1 out the prediction! of several local lawyers that the filing of bankruptcy proceedings against w. Gordon Mc? Cabe 6 Co., last Saturday would be ths signal for a flood of litigation. An? other Important development yester? day in the McCabe situation was the rel< ase of the libel that had been placed upon 1,400 bales of cotton in the warehouses of the south Carolina Warehouse Corporation i>y the owner* of the British steamship Meltoo'-.u, Colin.1-? 1 !or tin llbellants Oi the 1, 400 bales of cotton, which had beei placed under custody by the United Btal s marshal, appeared late yester? day afternoon and ass nted to thi withdrawal of the libol proceedings. The marshal accordingly released the cotton. This ll cotton for which bills of lading have been issued by the Meltonlan's agents, and which the Vessel came to Charleston to load for Liverpool, it was charged In the libel that the warehouse corporation refused to deliver the 'cotton when he vessel docked and was prepared for loading. It Is believed that some satisfactory agreement was reached by the contending p.arties, causing the proctors for the llbellants to with? draw proceedings. Another important development yes? terday was a statement from a relia? ble though unofficial source to the ef? fect that approximately l s,cobales ( f cotton, the quantity the secured creditors have been counting on, are held by the McCabe Company. William Elliott and Mitchell & Smith, as counsel for the Union-Buf? falo Mills, yesterday died a petition! for the dismissal of a contract made by the mills with W. Gordon McCabe it Co., a short time ago for the delivery of 2,000 bales of cotton. The petition sets out that a contract was mad,, for the delivery of 100 bales of COtton in each month Iro n February through May. E, I). Bailey, of Edlsto Island, through counsel. petitions the court to require the receivers to deliver to him live bales Of cotton, which the pe? tition states he consigned to the al? leged bankrupts recently. similar suits were filed by counsel for tin William c. Geraty Company, consign? ors of 18 labs; J. H. Boswell, con? signor of 7?; habs; McClary Bros. Company, consignors of i<*> bales; a. m. Tengborg, consignor of nr. bales.! and Lcwil A Co., consignors of BO bales. In most of these cases Judge Smith ord' red the receivers to appear Jan? uary 8 to .diov. cause why the petitions -hail not la* granted. Miller, Bissel] A Miller, counsel for the receivers, yesterday tiled a return to the rule to show cause in tie case of Lewis A Co. their answer Btates that tin- SO bales oi" cotton wa re de- j livered by tie- c< nsignor to the rall road, but have not been delivered to the McCabe Company by the railroad. Practically ail of these suits arise out of consignments of cotton made ab?.in tie middle of December. This' is cotton whi?h was sent to the ex? porters to he Btorod by th? in until sueh t mo as the consignors should trans? fer and complete the sale. NEW YEARS IN WASHINGTON.

Atlanta, Ga., Dee. 31.?Should the nation again go to war the Southern States would be called upon to furnish more than their share of the supply of explosives and ammunition) ac? cording to Charles E. Monroe, a pro? fessor of George Washington univer? sity, who addressed tonight's men'i convention of the American Associa? tion for the Advancement of Science. Recounting the difficulties encount? ered by the States of the Confederacy in supplying their armies with propei munitions during tho War Between the Sections, the speaker stated thai the rapid advancement of its chemi? cal and mechanical industries in the last half century had placed the South almost on a parity with any Bcctlon of the world in this regard. "The war was fought with gun? powder; but since then guns and ex? plosives have materially changed,' said Prof. Munro. "instead of gun? powder, nitroglycerine, dynamite smokeless powder and nitro com place of the charcoal, nitre and sul? phur used in making gunpowder, the products of the cotton Held, the soap factory and the coke oven, together With nitrate and sulphuric acid;; are utilized In making the new ( xploslves. Today, the South, by developing the chemical industry within its territory which Was devoted to agriculture in I86I1 has become possessed of all these resources." Prof. Munro, In reviewing the mak? ing of explosives during the war, ex? hibited many specimens of the pow? der, fuses and ammunition used by the Confederacy. These, he explained, had been brought here by him from the University of Virginia to illus? trate the crudity of production in those days.
