Inspired by the high prices realized by the cotton crop of 1895-96, Egyptian plant- ers have this spring increased the area to the maximum limit permitted hy the coun- try’s irrigation facilities. Exact figures are not precurable, but it is estimated that the increase of acreage is from 5 to 8 per cent, and that this season’s area ap- proximates 1,150,000 acres. The greatest percentage of increase is in the provinces scuth of Cafro. Conservative forecasters believe the crop will yield 750,000 bales of 750 pounds—being the equivalent of 1,12 000 American bales, and the largest ever raised in the Nile valley. Predicated on the yearly increase of shipments to America, it is probable that the United States will buy 65,000 bales of the Egyptian crop, equal to about 100,000 bales of American weight. These facts are reported to the State De- partment by United States Consul General Penfield at Cairo. See Liberals Gain a Seat.

Company B to Remain in the Na« tional Guard. The regular monthly meeting of the National Rifles was heid last evening, with almost the ertire membership of the com- pany present. Matters of considerable im- portance, concerning the future welfare of the command, were fully and freely dis- cussed. It was unanimously ided, among other things, that whatever may be the future action of the scompany, as to the disposition of the question heretofore raised by some‘of the members as to their status or interests in the ownership of the real and personal estate of the organiza- tion, the National Rifies would continue to exist, ac heretofore, as a first-class military body, and not as a social club, as has been rumored; ~and will parade and participate in ceremonies as heretofore when of an independent nature and not in cenflict with National Guard duty. The or- ganization further resolved to continue its representation in the National Guard of the District by a generous and unanimous sup- port of its “company B,” second battalion, first regiment, which company has been @ part of the National Guard for a year or more, and which’ is now known and recog- nized, and always will be, as “company B,” National Rifles. Probably the present com- manding officer of company B, Captain Oyster, will be retired, at his own request, from active service in the guard, owing to his inability to give the company his constant attention, but with this exception the officers of the National Rifles as pres-~ ent constituted will also continue in com- mand of company B, and both bodies will drill, as heretofore, every Monday evening, and continue to Keep up a good military spirit and discipline. It was decided to commence the recruiting for company B and to enlist none therein but young, active men, who will make good soldiers, and whose moral and social standing is of the best. None but first-class material is de- sired, and al! such wishing to co-operate with the National Rifles in having a dis- tinctively representative company in the National Guard will be cordially received into membership. No lines will be drawn between the old and new commands, us has been stated, and all will be welcomed to the home of the parent body, and treat- ed as comrades and friends in good, sol- dierly fellowship. The meeting was per- fectly unanimous, as well as harmonious, in its actions and deliberations, and every- thing that was said and done was in the interest of the future prosperity of the National Rifles and its company B of the National Guard. ——__ THE NEW LAW WORKED WELL. Dearth of Intoxicated Pensioners in Town Yesterday, The payment of pensions under the new law with regard to vouchers worked suc- cessfully yesterday. The clerks of the pen- sion agency report great satisfaction on their part with the new way. There was a conspicuous absence about town yesterday of the mgtley and disgusting crowd of topers and the sharks who prey on them on pension day.
