Alien Land Law Convention.

At the urgent call of the Statesman the
board of trade met this afternoon to con-
slider the question of calling a state convcn-
ton of business men to take appropriate ac-
ton concerning the alien land law, the
all-absorbing topic in commercial
and trade circles. After consid-
cradle talking the board arrived al the
conclusion that meeting called by itself
would be unwise some of the speakers
holding that such a convention would be
more appropriately called by mass meet
ing. The fear was expressed that the
Farmers Alliance might be moved to call
similar convention. Ii was
finally agreed to consult the
opinion of other boards of trade and com
mercial bodies before going any further in
the matter
As the wisdom of state convention TO
consider this veXatious and troublesome
matter can hardly be questioned, and as
THE GAZETTE has itself urged, it now ap-
pears 10 be Fort Worths opportunity
TO take up the question and make
the call Thousands of business men can
easily be assembled at short notice to
take needed action on the law that all such
regard with the gravest apprehension.

FALL AND WINTER TRADE.
A GAZETTE REPORTER ROUNDS
UP THE NEW YORK
Business Centcrs and manufacturers and
Gets Opinions on the Fall and
Winter Business.
Special 10 the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette,
New YORK, Aug 3.-The outlook for fall
and winter trade in cotton and wooden
goods is variously viewed by New York big
concerns, but the consensus of opinions
seems to lean toward 4 brisk fall season,
particularly i'll the Northwest. Ohio crops
have been particularly good and
money plenty. Taking the situation
as 4 whole and as considered after
careful investigation into the condition of
crops and advance orders so far received,
there seems to be no reason for any depres
sion of spirit or for any pCSsemistic pre-
dictions. After q careful investigation of
the condition OF business in the dry goods
district, and Judging from interviews
with leading wooden and cotton men,
THE GAZETTE correspondent is prepared
to state that an increase in trade Is cX-
pectcd very soon. Authorities in the trade
admit that the season is Z trifle backward,
but they do not look upon this as an indica-
ton that business Will be any less brisk
when the season does open. The only
question of doubt that exists in the minds
of the principal cotton and WOODEN goods
dealers is the awful effect which is sure 10
follow the oversupply of raw cotton, and
some of them talk despondently and look
glOOmily over the gradual fall in cotton
quotations. The supply has been far
greater than the demand, and the cOnSc-
quence that offers of raw cotton nave so
affected producers that they are holding of
FOR an advance, with the result that there
is no activity in southern money CIR
Giles. 1t is claimed also that cotton spccua-
tors suffered heavy losses and that those who
handled long cotton last season are seriously
affected. All this has its effect on trade,
while in the South il makes business at any
time dull, and compcls reaction in the price
OF cotton goods made from raw material.
Southern producers claim that il costs them
more than cents to raise cotton, and be
fore they will sell at that price they will set

North Carolina Democratic editor Of
social, as well as professional, prominence,
who stopped in Washington for brief
visit on his way from the editorial
convention at Minneapolis, expressed his
views very freely TO friends here concern
inc politics in his state He says the Farmers
Alliance there is very much stronger than
persons in the North generally suppose and
that the Democrats are now waking up to
the fact that they made great mistake in
attempting to ''dicker'' with it. For
every inch of concession made by
the Democrats, the Alliance has
shown its appreciation by turning
around and demanding an ell. It will be
necessary, he believes, to call halt on the
timid Democrats and have a firm stand
taken by the party before it is too late, lest
the Alliance swallow it whole. When
asked whether it will be possible for the
Alliance to wipe out the normal majority of
$1,000 10 2l.000, he answered ii was within
the possibilities. but he believed the DEM
ocrats would rally when it came to strug-
gle on national issues

in order to hear an application for writ of
habeas corpus filed by Attorney T. J. Nc
MINI on behalf of his client. the celebrated
Dick Duncan, condemned TO hang for the
murder Of the Williamson family.
The ground for the application is the
alleged incompetency of the jury which

t-0k out his final papers within three
moths after his declaration Of his inten-
ton Il become citizen, instead of waiting

and conseq entity his domicile is there. and
another juror was declared incompetent be-
cause he sleeps and eats at a hotel, and is
therefore not householder

setting aside the various verdicts in the
