THE COZ TON CORNER.

The great cotton ''corner" which
has been source OF great ex-
citement and anxiety in Liver
pool and throughout tho cotton
manufacturing district of England for
weeks past, experienced complete coll
lapse on Monday. The full consequences
have not yet been learned, but it ap-
pears certain that the speculator who
engineered the corner, Steenstrand, 4,
came out badly hurt, and with him, Of
course, number of others whom he
had induced to believe that he could
force price on cotton which would en-
rich everybody on his side OF the mar
ket. A week ago it certainly looked as
if he might have matters his own way,
and knowing ones were figuring that on
the last day of September Steeustrand
would probably be able to name figures
for cotton that would put at least mil
lion dollars in his pocket, while at the
same time driving some of those VINO
were fighting him to the wall. But
there were shrewd and busy minds at
work to defeat the speculator, and
aided by the concerted action
of the manufacturers in largely
reducing their demands, they
succeeded in doing this. The details
of this most remarkable ATTEMPT in
eight years to corner the cotton market
will be awaited with interest.
Steenstrand' speculation was an ad-
vantage to the cotton planters OF the
United States. 1t enabled them to sell
large part of their early crop at full
prices. Between the first of August
and the first of October the southern
planters sold nearly a million bales OF
the crop, and the artificial price in Liv-
erpool has given these planters two and
half million dollars more than they
otherwise would have received. 1t was
a part of this cotton that broke the
corner, and as the American product is
now going forward freely, and the crop
is exceptionally large, there is little
probability that Steenstrand will renew
his speculation.

SUBJECTS FOR THE CoNGR Ess

The congress, or conference, of the
Americas, which will assemble and Or
ganize in Washington to-day, has
comprehensive programme to consider
when it shall meet for deliberation.
The act authorizing and providing for
the congress deslgnates eight principal
subjects for its consideration. These
are: Measures that shall tend to pre-
serve the peace and promote the pros
perity of the several American states;
measures toward the formation of an
American customs union, under which
the trade of the American nations with
each other shall, so lar as possible and
profitable, be promoted; the establish
ment of regular and frequent commune
cation between the ports of the several
American states and the ports of each
other; the establishment of a uniform
system of customs regulations for each,
embracing importation, expectation,
port dues, classification and valuation
OF imports, invoices and quarantine;
uniform weights and measures, patents,
copyrights, trade marks and extra
dition; common legal tender silver
coinage; the arrangement of definite
plan of arbitration of all questions, uis-
putes and differences that may now or
hereafter exist between the several
countries, with a view 10 their peace
able settlement and tho prevention of
wars; the conservation Of the general
welfare of all the American states.
There is material enough in this pro-
gramme to render the deliberations of
the congress profoundly interesting,
but undoubtedly other subjects will be
presented to its attention. The com
| mercial bodies of the United States
were invited by the secretary of state
| to suggest matters for cOnsidera-
tion properly within the scope of
| the conference, and numerous sugges-
| tions from this source are to be ex-
pected. The subjects 10 be considered
MS provided for in the act authorizing
| the congress, are worthy of more than q
passing reflection. They contemplate
| an alliance so comprehensive, and to be
made SO close, as to give new and
more impressive meaning to the Mon
roe doctrine. They propose the attain
ment OF what would virtually make
united states of the three Americas, as
there would be effected between
them everything essential to theil
common safety and prosperity. A
careful study OF the sch eme
involved in this progra mme for the
consideration Of the congress of the
Americas is necessary to an under
standing of its magnitude aud far
reaching consequences. 1t has beer
truly said that no statesman OF the cen
tury ever evolved more magniiice n
scheme, and it is because Of its magni
tude aud scope that many believe il i'm

would End maternity Cares.

A physician wRs called hastily last night
to see Miss Minnie Lewis, ahandsome young
lady who lives on o street, between Four

that she was suffering from the effects of a
large dose of the oil of tansy, administered
by herself, and that she had taken il in hopes
of ridding herself of the cares Of maternity,
which were approaching at very rapid
rate. The cause of all her troubles dates
back TO last spring, when young Harrison
Woody, who was deemed good catch. Of
fered himself as a candidate for matrlmOny
and was accepted. The girls mother ad-
mits that she knew of the little irregularities
that were practiced by the two young peo-
pie, but as they were expecting TO be mar.
ried soon anyway she offered no objections.

friends by leading Miss Jennie Elder to the

SHERIFF FLACk'S DUAL LIFE.

Secret Divorce Case.

Remarkable Story of the New York
Secret Divorce Case.
NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-[Speclal Telegram
to THz BEE. 1T has become known that
Sheriff Flacks corrupt action, out of which
have grown the indictments of himself and
friends, was caused by desire to legitimlze
son by Mrs Raymond, who is studying to
become an Episcopalian clergyman. For
Sc eyenteen years t'lack led double life and
no one knew of it. In East Fiity-seventh
street he was James A. Flack. Twenty
blocks away, only one mile from the home
of his wife and her son, he was MIR. Ray
mond, and no one suspected the intrigue.
In 1885 he was elected sheriff of the county,
put into office by nearly two hundred thou
sand votes. Where was the keeuness of the
enemies he had baffled politically that they
did not scent the social crime he had com,
mitted9 HIS dual life in all likelihood
would forever have been secret had Mrs.
Raymond, once girl IN his bindery, but for
twenty years his mistress, not taken sick,
fallen deeply religious, and determined
| on making preacher of her illegit mate son
by FIack. At one time during the illness,
when she thought herself near death, she
made t'lack promise TO bring the boy up TO
the ministry.
After Mrs. Raymond recovered she be-
| came very religious and in New York and
other places busied herself about charitable
works. Her almost fatal illness brought
| home to her more vlviily than anything else
| could the kind of lie she had been lead
ing for SO many years. She yearned to
| legtimize her son, and to become wife in
| fact as well as IN name. But there, right in
| the way, stood that gIay-haired woman who
| had done her no wrong, bat who had been
| the cheerful helpmeet of James A. faci
| in his early struggles and ambitions. Yet q
mothers love for her only son overcame
| every scrupie. She urged Elack to get q
| divorce from his wife by any means. Then
| followed the iniqultous proceedings of the

result will justify this skepticism. 1t
may not be possible to bring all the in
dependent nations OF this hemisphere
into such an alliance as is
contemplated and surround IL
with conditions assuring its perma-
nence, but it is certainly practicable
TO attain a part Of the results sought,
and the least important Of them would
be material gain. And every step
leading to q closer union between
American nations will render the next
step less difficult.
However far short of the expectations
OF its promoters the congress which

doubt that its deliberations will have
some good results in which all the in
terested nations will share.

IN IMPORrAN I DECISION.

The folly OF corporate indifference to
state laws is illustrated by the unbroken
series of victories won by the authori-
ties of Iowa over the railroads. Ever
since the famous Granger laws' were
enacted the railroads have resented
every effort of the people to restrain
their rapacity and curb the power ac-
quired or assumed during the settle
ment period. These laws were practi-
cally the first attempt of western state
to curb corporate greed. They we're
justified by existing conditions,
and were essential to the we'll
being of the state, 1t is true
they were radical in design and difficult
to execute, but they opened the way to
the present comprehensive laws which
place Iowa in advance of her neighbors
in the regulation of internal commerce.
At the outset the corporations scoffed
at legal interference. They deluded
themselves with the notion that they
could obtain protection in the conduct
of business from a state whose laws they
attempted to nullify. They stood in the
light of law-breakers until the courts
affirmed the right of states to regulate
internal affairs. Open resistance was
no longer wise nor polite. They
fuge, only to meet defeat in every case
brought to trial.
The federal court of the Iowa district
recently added to the list of notable
victories scored by the state. The Wa
bash company having abandoned the
operation of the Clarinda branch, was
ordered by the board Of railroad com
missioners to operate the road. An APP
peal to the federal court resulted in n
decision declaring that railroads were
government institutions, public convey
ances and common carriers. The
right to build road through private
property" says the court, was granted
on the representation that the road
would furnish transportation for the
public. Courts have no right to deprive
the people of this transportation on the
showing that the road does not
pay expenses. By obtaining the right
of way from the people they were cut of
| from all other similar means OF trans
portation, and the company is obligated
to fulfill its pledges by operating the
road"
The decision practically settles a
| number of similar cases. 1t affirms the
right of the state to compel the opera
tion OF branches which the companies
abandoned as species of revenge for
the passage of stringent laws. The i'm
portance of this ruling lies in the
declaration that the exercise of the
right of eminent domain by corpora
tions is in the nature OF contract with
the state. They acquire private prop
erty for public purpose, and are bound
to use it for such purpose until the
state consents To a release.
