New ORLEANS. La. Sept. 15-Atwood,
Violet & Co. say: Futures-The weight
of port receipts and the uneasy feeling
caused by European matters have Offset
for the time being the effect of crop dam
age, and aside from European complica-
tions, which. by the way, have not been
confirmed, the promise of an October
bureau report Of perhaps 75 to Il would
doubtless have caused considerable higher
prices. The actual mel. is of cotton are lost
sight Of when anything adversely happens
out of the usual. The con-
ditions make it advisable now to be
governed by sentiment; in other words, to
follow the crowd irrespective of what the
market ought TO be. where large move
ments or bad crop reports are the influ-
encing cause on either side. Our Galveston
correspondent says: A Galveston paper will
report to- morrow loss of 20 per cent for

New YORK, Sept. 15.-Fire broke out in
the old Commercial Adviser building on the
southwest corner Of Fulton and Nassau
streets at 9:l5 this morning. In fifteen min
utes the flames had gained such Roadway
that they were beyond control. The total
loss in stocks in the building is about $780,
600, most of which is insured. This in
cludes $4,000 loss on the stock Of Ira Per-
ego, gents furnishing goods dealer. So far
as can be learned only two persons were in
jured at the fire. They are William Nelson,
a tailor, who injured his ankle while drop
ping from a fire escape, and Sam Roxbury,
engineer, whose arms were burned.
There are other estimates which place the
loss at between $3.50. 900 and $50, 900. A lot
of loose diamonds which were on the tables
of diamond workers in the building were
lost. They were valued at several thousand
dollars.

NEW LYGEUM LEAGUE.
A National Movement for the Train
of Young America.

N AhoftIi1SnJ lOT Ole
of Young America.
An important step is announced by the
YOUTH Companion. That paper proposes
to revive as an institution the old debat-
ing society which used to be so great a
force in making young men intelligent
citizens and developing broad national
leaders.
The plan proposed is an organization of
national reach, called the Lyceum League
of America. 1t is to consist OF system
OF local lyceums or clubs, connected with
each other through newly created lyce-
um department in The Youths Conlpa1a-
ion. The lyceum department grants all
charters and accepts the care of the move
ment. With each charter it furnishes
tree an equipment consisting of ''Cush-
lng's Manual" secretary's book and
other needful helps. 1t suggests topics
for discussion and gives aid in their study.
An important part of this aid is care
fully chosen. list of books on American
problems, which it places within the
reach of clubs. Among the books are
Bryce's American Commonwa aalth, :"
Fiske's "Civil Government" the ''Amer-
ican Statesman" series. Professor Ely's
books, etc. There are also books for
younger readers.
The aim of this undertaking is to train
young men to think intelligently on the
great problems of American life, and to
impress them with the duties of citizen
ship. The work is to be above all parti-
sanship. 1t is to be American in the
broadest sense. 1t aims to give practical
direction to the patriotic enthusiasm
which the general school-fag movement
has awakened-a movement inaugurated
by the same paper. Incidental benefits
will be parliamentary training and learn
ing how to think on ones feet.
School lyceums will probably be most
numerous, but the scheme is equally
adapted to young men and intelligent
lads out of SCHOOL, business houses
factories, churches can all have their
lyceum clubs.-Boston Herald.

Sight Drafts.

The sight draft is an institution almost,
if not entirely, peculiar to this country,
and / think myself it is one of the most
unfortunate of commercial customs. 1
know one man whose signature is good
for almost any amount, but who will
never honor a sight draft.
If he is notified that one has been
drawn on him he promptly RENTS by
certified check or bankers draft and lets
the sight draft go to protest. AS result
his credit has been ruined at one hun
dred banks and his rating is compara-
lively bad.
1t is utterly unjust to condemn man
for refusing to honor one of these instru-
ments, as they can be drawn upon with
out any reason whatever, and without
the slightest evidence of Indebtedness.
Banks have again and again agitated
the question of refusing to accept draft
for collection without prepayment of
charges; but this has not been done, and
at the present time money is actually lost
in this branch of the business.-St. Louis

BORCHERg CURVES.
They Were Easily Gagged by the
Senators Yesterday.
The Oaklands Had an OF Day and
the Home Club Won In q Canter
Sweeney Blinler.

Borchers was in the box again for Oak
land yesterday, and he pitched one OF
those poor games that he is liable to twirl
once in while. He pitched in streaks,
gave bases on balls several times and al
lowed punching of hits frequently, es-
pecially in the fourth inning, when one
after another OF the Sacramento players
smashed out hard base hits until five had
been made and three runs scored.
The Sacramentos won the game easily,
having things their own way after the
fourth inning. They batted great deal
harder than on Saturday and, altogether,
played much better game. Four errors
were made, and these were what gave the
Oakland team its opportunities to score.
But the Colonels would probably have
scored run anyway, for they did some
very handy stick-work themselves at
times, although their total of his were
only six.
A couple of wild throws and ''shirkn
by Sweeney let in three runs in the sew
enth Inning. The sun was shining di-
rectly in big "Pete's" face when the ball
was thrown at him. Even though the
bases We're full, Pete simply kicked at the
ball with his foot, with a ''let-'er 60"
dared to say word to him. If they had
he would have roasted" them for throw
ing the ball at him. When Pete wants to
let ball go by he can do it with better
grace than any ball-player in the profess
sion.
There was a large attendance at the
game, and the cranks were greatly sur
prised to see Ward playing in the center
garden for the Sacramentos. Roberts
had injured himself the day before, so
Goodenough was placed in left field and
Ward was engaged to play center. He
was greeted with applause when the au-
dIence found out who he was. He played
his position well and gave the cranks
something fresh in the way of coaching
expressions. McCloskey wants to keep
him IN the team, but it is said Ward and
McGuirk do not speak as they pass by.
Shea played a great game for the Oak
lands. and as usual got his base on balls
couple of times more than any body else.
Hassamer erred on two of his twelve
chances, but notwithstanding played a
great game of ball. McGuirk hit hard
and managed to get fourteen chances
without making an error.
1t was the last appearance of the Oak
land team in this city this year, and Col
Onel Robinson was present as an inter-
ested ~ spectator.
Following is the score:

showed how they can play ball when they
want to. The score was, Sacramento 0,
Oakland s, and it was about as pretty
"whitewash'' game as the average crank
wants to see. 1T was Oakland's game af-
ter the sixth inning, and their fight after
that was to prevent the home team from
making run, and they accomplished the
task handily.
Borchers was in the box for Oakland,
and he pitched one of those games which
Sacramentans used to read about when he
was with the Northern team. He was
steady, speedy and effective, and with the
assistance OF his colleagues, whose work
was 1aultless, il was not a difficult task TO
Shut out the Senators.
Parrot, who pitched the Portland team
into the championship this year, was in
the box for the Sacramentos. For
couple of innings in the first part of the
game many took him to be Goodenough,
and they did not readily discover their
mistake. The men look and act very much
alike. All who saw Parrot were of
the opinion that he is a very fine pitcher,
and one who can help the Sacrainentos
materially.
A remarkable running catch by Rob
ertS was one OF the features Of the game.
Up to the fifth inning both clubs played
great ball, and in that inning, if it had
not been for an error by McGuirk, no
runs would have been scored by the Oak
land team. Following is the summary:
