Advantages OF the Alabama Alliance
Cotton dealers in New York are great Y
wrought up over a dispatch from Mobile
stating that George +. Gather, business
manager of the Alabama alliance exchange.
announced Saturday last, over his own sig
nature, in the official paper of the order in
Alabama, that the exchange is now pre-
pared to handle 500, 900 bales of cotton and
Is ready TO advance $50 per bale on insured
cotton in the warehouses. He states that
the exchange has engaged buyer to buy
cotton from alliance planters for expol land,
when des ired, settle with them after the
sale of the cotton in Liverpool, paying the
price brought there, less freight aud in
surance. This plan is said to net plan ters
IS bale more than they now get by saving
the profit of the intermediary in the present
method of handling cotton. Large guam titles
OF cotton are said ID be stored along the
Alabama railways awaiting the coming of
the alliance buyer.
The cotton committee of the alliance is
said to be negoti ating an arrangement
to secure an advance at per cent of S32 per
bale on 2,0O0,0 900 bales of the seasons crop
How far these negotiations have advanced
no one seems able to ascertain just now, as
the details are known only to the committee
in charge of the business. Should they
proceed to ultimate fruitiol, however, the
alliance of Alabama will certainly be placed
in very commanding position ia that state,
both commercially and politically.
At the Same time the alliance would do
well TO avoid politics if it would sustain and
increase its strength.

ST. PAUL, May eugene Claudia,
charged with stealing $500 at Spokane Falls,
has been removed from the Central station
to iail pending the result of habeas corpus
proceedings before Judge Wilkins. Claudia
and bis attorney, Cy Wellington. and
Judge McCafferty, attorney for the state,
appeared before Judge Wilkins today.
Wellington contended that there was no
evidence that any crime had been COM
mitted. and that the warrant was defective
IN not having the certificate of the magis-
trate attached. Judge McCafferty claimed
that under the statutes the charge that a
crime had been committed Was sufficient
to hold the prisoner until requ:sifion
from the governor was obtained. He
stated that in case Claudia was discharged
he would be re-arrested at once. Judge
Wilkins has taken the case under advise
ment until tomorrow.

The defea. of the Republican party at the
municipal election today is not great sur
prise. 1t is due largely to Walter j..
Thompson's manipulations and the class
of lieutenants selected to carry on the
campaign. Representative men were con-
spicuous by their absence at the meetings,
aud the Republicans Of Republican city
have no one but themselves to blame for
putting the city in the hands OF the De-
mocracy. The Republican city committee
was also weak. and il seemed nobody's 5
business TO look after the affairs of the

Thompson is down to stay.
