Striking miners.
St. Louis, December 8.—At the Harris mines, a
few miles from East St. Louis the striking coal
miners gathered at 5 o'clock this morning, jcveral
hundred strong, and established a cordon around
the pits, through which the miners at work in the
mines would have to pass. The sheriff and posse
appeared on the scene and the striker-; retired.
Later they returned in increased numbers, armed
with revolvers. Affairs were critical, when the
sheriff and posse bravely arrested several ring-
leaders and quelled the rioters for a time. The
situation was very grave.

ties, and she manifested herself a worthy pupil of J
the celebrated March^si. Applause and cries of j
bravo.accompanied every phrase of her singing,
and iu tlie rondo of Cenerentola the enthusiasm j
was such that she had to repeat it. It is impossi-
ble not to recognize in her voice the most admira-
ble qualities, which, with her rare intelligence and
artistic tavte, will convinbe any one that Miss Ris-
ley has few rivals in the Barbiere de Seviglia. 1

this morning, Mo3t Worshipful Grand 3Iaster J. H
McLeary read his annual address, which was an
able and exhaustive review of the condition and
work of the craft in Texas during the past ma-
sonic year. It was exceedingly voluminous, hence
it is impossible to give it here. The grand mast
in his address reviews the reports of the thirty-
second district deputy grand masters in an able
manner, and points out many ways in which im-
provement can be made for iho benefit of
the craft. He suggests a remodeling olf the
district deputy system, and a division into four
instead of thirry-two districts. The sec-
tion of his address upon the relations
existing between the Grand Lodge of Texas and
other Grand Lodges in fraternal correspondence
with it is exceedingly interesting. He reports the
institution of thirteen new lodges, and an increase
of membership in the State of about 500. He also
alludes to the large number of unaffiliated masons
in the State, which he estimates to be about 5000.
The address also contains a touching tribute to the
departed dead. Upon the conclusion of the ad-
dress, it was referred to the appropriate commit-
tees.
The deputy grand master read his address,in which
he reviews his work for past year, and concluded
with a tribute to the late lamented Past Grand
Master John B. Jones The report of Grand Trea
surer Benjamin A. Botts was thou read, which
shows the order in the State to be in a prosperous
financial condition. The grand secretary, George
H. Brnshurst, then presented his report, which,
with the report of the grand treasurer, was re-
ferred to appropriate committees. A number of
petitions, memorials, etc., were then read and ap-
propriately referred, after which a committee of
three, composed of Marcus F, Mott, Joseph D.
Sayres, and Rev. J. J. Clemens, was
appointed to wait on Most Worshipful Albert Pike,
past grand master of Arkansas, and request him
to deliver a masonic lecture before the Grand
Lodge. On motion of Grand Junior Warden W
II. Nichols, a committee of three, composed of
John B. Sexton, Robert Burus and Hfmf^Scher-
flus, wa* appointed to decide upout the expediency
of having a grand banquet during the session, after
which the Grand Lodge adjourned. At 7:30 p. m..
at the opening of the evening session, Worshipful
Brother Albert Pike was introduced, and in re-
sponse to an invitation issued gave a very interest-
ing and instructive lecture upon masonry in gen-
eral, which was liste; edto with the greatest atten
tion and interest by the lodge.

sumed in the United States. The increase of home
consumption during the ten years from 1870
to 1881, was 828.741 bales. This increase is
more important, considering the fact that loss on
cotton sold in the English market is nearly 2 cents
per pound in freight, port charges, and loss of
weight in bag-ring, etc., and average price in 1880
and 1881 in Liverdooi was 6.48 pence, and in New
York 11.34 cents per pound, the advantage of the
American market being nearly 2 cents per pound
to the producer. Tiiis important relation will con-
tinue to increase its value as American manufac-
turing extends, aud the home market is enlarged,
and will undoubtedly produce an increase in the
average yield of cotton per acre, and ultimate
uniformity in the crop of the cotton States, allow-
ance being made for difference in climate* This,
added to wide diversity of farming which will be
adopted,will do much to develop the agriculture of
this section. It is undoubtedly true now that the cot-
ton belt r.eeds varieties of crops to fill vast unoccu-
pied areas not suiied tocotron planting. (Applause.)
sTine-tenths of the superficial area of these States
yield no production in agriculture, except in a
limited degree in pasturage and wood products.
But three acres in every 100 are in cotton, which
occupies one-third of the breadth of land actually
cultivated in the cotton area. In the land actually
cultivated the cotton area in 1879 was 14,402,438
acres. The area of the ten cotton States is 4# ,600.000
acres. The cotton crop is not evenly distributed in
the>e States. It is almost unknown iu the whole
mountain system of the South—slopes as well as
summits and broad table-lands of the high elevations
—suited only to products of high temperature in the
latitude of mixed farming, grain and the dairy. It
i3 grown mainly on the limestone belts of South-
western Georgia, Central Alabama and Western
Mississippi. In general terms, one-tenth of
the counties yielding cotton, produce half
of that crop. The largest average yield

iscloses local be ts of greatest productiveness, as

To prove the superiority of this district. East Car-
roll in Louisiana, Chicot in Arkansas, and Washing-
ton in Mississippi, respectively stand for the largest
rate of productiveness in these States, and it is a
cotton belt, yielding in 1879 but little less than a
bale per acre. The second best district is al^o on

as is usually the case when a new-

reputation, but exceedingly select, aud from the
very stare accepted 31iss Risley as a good singer.
This favorable verdict became more and more
confirmed as the young American lady, having
overcome her timidity, displayed her voice with
more self confidence. In the scene of the Lesson
she sang the rendo of Cenerentola and elicited the
loudest applause, which histed several seconds.
With a voice of extraordinary facility, which ^e
manages with great control, her sinking shows ex-

aud when she will have acquired more familiar.ty
with the stage she will make a perfect Rosina.
At the Nicolir.i Theater the Barbiere de Seviglia
was presented with still better success than the
first night. 3liss Risley was warmly applauded, for
she really possesses a voice of ad mil able exten-
sion and sympathetic timbre. To become a per-
fect singer she only lacks that which time alone
can give, practice and familiarity with the stage.
The first representation of the Harbiero of

Nicolini, before a numerous but fastidious audience.
Miss Risley, who bad been heralded as a very dis-

her method sure and exceedingly correct. She

jrined communion ol saints. He said he was re-
