A CLUMSY BLACKMAILER
Sends An Anonymous Letter Demanding
Money and Is Caught by DeCoy.

Sends An Anonymous Letter Demanding
Money and Is Caught by a Decoy.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 30.-A Times
Democrat City of Mexico special says:
The recent arrest and imprisonment
of w. C. Nicholson, a prominent civil
engineer of this city, on charge OF
attempted blackmail, has created a
sensation in the American colony.
Charges against him were preferred
by w. G. Bradley who holds an i'm
portant position on the Mexican Cent
raj railway. He alleges that Michel
son wrote him an anonymous letter
advising him that the writer was in
need of 5000 and the amount must be
sent imme diately in an envelope by
Bradley to the address of Henry
Smith, CANDIDA Hotel, care of T. M.
Lamar. The writer further stated
that unless the amount was fOrthcom-
ing he would make sensational
charges against Bradley The latter
placed the matter in the hands of the
police and the capture of Nicholson
was effected by means of decoy let
ter. The accused has been in Mexico
seven months and was formerly of
New York City. He is nowin solitary
confinement in Belam prison awaiting
trial.

MONETARY CONFERENCE.
RoTHsCHILDs PLAN WILL NOT BE REC.
0MMENDED BY COMMITTEE.
viii be Presented to the Conference With
An endments States Of the Latin Union
do Not Favor it--Conferencs May
Fail to Agree on Any Plan.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 3.-The rejection OF
the Rothschild plan by the committee
of the International Monetary Confer
ence does not finally dispose of Roths-
child's propositions. A minority OF
the committee who supported the
plan are feeling their way to take
vote of the conference on the scheme
with amendments offered in commit
tee that no limitation be made on the
price of the proposed annual European
purchases over and above ordinary
purchases for token coinage metal and
that purchases be employed as money
either by coinage or as metallic basis
of notes to be issued.
These notifications increase the
value of the plan in the eyes of the
bi-metalists. When the conference
resumes ite session Tuesday Sir Will
liam Huldsworth of the British dele
gates will bring forward further
amendments to Rothschild's pro-
posals as the committee recommended
q @seussion of the plan with amend
ments by full conference. The pro-
ceedings of Tuesday will probably
continue on the lines of yesterdays
unless the American delegates decide
i. to ask that the conference proceed
without delay to discuss the question
of international bi-metalism. 1t has
transpired that the dele.
gates of countries belonging
to the Latin union voted
against the Rothschild proposals on
the ground thrt they were not able to
recommend their governments to in
crease their stocks of silver under the
limited purchases system and because
the countries in the Latin union could
not Increase the present silver cur
rency without international free coin
age being established. :,
With regard to the plan of Morlt2
Levi which includes the withdrawal
of all gold coin under the value OF
twenty francs, Sir Fremantle, deputy
master of the British mint, declared
he could not promise the consent Of
Athe British government to withdraw
all its half sovereign pieces.

MORE TROUBLE AT COAL CREEK.
Union Miners Have Struck and Are Making
Threats that May Cause Trouble.

Union Miners Have Struck and Are Making
Threats that May Cause Trouble.
CHATTANOOGA, Nov. "a special
from Coal creek Gays serious out.
break may occur among the miners in
a few days, and strike has been de-
clared at Black Diamond mines. The
non-union men employed in the Hoyt
mine refused to become members OF
the union. The union men held q
meeting and decided to demand the
discharge of non-union men, making
threats of various kinds should their
demands not be complied with. The
management responded by discharg-
ing seven of the union miners, who
had been prominent in the meeting
The refusal of the demand to reinstate
the men brought about strike. If the
strikers do what they threaten there
will probably be another war. The
leaders who fled to Kentucky when
the crisis came in August have all re.
turned and walk the public highway
with impunity, making threats Of
what they intend to do next time
The garrison at Fort Anderson is in
good trim and if the miners expect tt
have an easy time they will be disap
pointed about as badly as they were
in August when 300 men held them
st bay.

year. Today the movement has been
$4,000 against $4,000 last year, and
New Orleans expects Monday IA 600
against $4,000 and $4,000 at all ports a
year ago. The spot market is rather
easier as to prices, with sales of only
800 from factors tables and 14O0 to ar
rive, but exporters say that they have
done fair business with the other
side today. From later advices re-
ceived from Georgia it would appear
that tina report published in the press
to the effect that the Georgia legisla-
ture had instructed its senators and
representatives in Washington to vote
for the Hatch bill" was without
foundation and the denial of this
rumor had a great deal 10 do with the
strong feeling which developed.

THE STOCK MARKET.
The Bears are Somewhat Disconnected at the
Death Of Gould and Work Cautiously.

The Bears are Somewhat Disconnected at the
Death Of Gould and Work Cautiously.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The temper of
speculation at the Stock Exchange to-
day was more bullish than some time
past, owing chiefly to the fact that
the death of Jay Gould deprives the
bears of one of their main supporters.
For some time past each and every
movement for lower prices has been
accompanied by statements that
Gould was operating on the bear side
of the account. Many such state
ments have been made without the
slightest foundation in fact, but talk
nevertheless has given the bears an
unwarranted degree of power. 1t Is
noticeable that certain stocks against
posed to have been antagonistic have
been the most conspicuous in the rise
since the announcement of the demise
of Gould. Another striking feature
of transactions has been the execution
of buying orders for account of certain
capitalists who have studiously kept
aloff from Wall street speculations for
a long time. All this reflected In the
stock market in the early hours of
business today, Rhode Island being a
notable case in point which had the
greatest advance in the general list
outside of the Missouri Pacific. The
latter rose ga. Western Union sold
up 1873. The market closed steady
at reaction already noticed.

LLANO LOCALS.

The New Bridge 0pened-Cotton sales-Pre-
pairing to Boom Iron Industry.
Special to The Statesman.
ILANo, Tex, Dec. 3.-Yesterday the
new bridge was completed and turn
en- over to the county. 1t is 800 feet
long, four spans, crossing the Llano
river, and cost about $4,000. The
people have patiently awaited its
completion, and rejoice that to ford
is no longer necessary.
Cotton is coming in lively. Yester-
day a wagon train bringing a large
quantity from Gillespie county was
held over until today, expecting bet
ter prices. Over 5000 bales have been
shipped so far, with probably 1900 in
sight.
Work is temporily stopped on the
court house, the delay is caused by
non arrival of iron girders and floor
beams. The contractors, J. A. Will
son & Bro, have begun the erection of
a business block, the best probably
that has been built yet. Mrs. E.
Haynie is the owner. The same con-
tractors will rebuild the public school
building.
The weather is quite warm and
building and all kinds of out door
work is going ahead.
A great deal of prospecting is being
done now, looking chiefly for the
richer metals. Several fine prospects
are reported. A new shaft is talked
of in the iron region at Bessemer.
Rumors are rife regarding the erec-
ton of furnaces and rolling mills, and
it seems that Llano at last will stand
up in newness of lite. Much has been
talked in the past, and our citizens
are beginning to believe that things
done are better than things projected,
The year 1898 will without doubt be a
growing and prosperous year for our
city.

McElroy q Gilbert on the Condltlon on

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 2.-McElroy
g. Gilbert say:
Futures-LiverpooI was rather bet.
ter than expected today, as there was
a good reaction from the decline which
wa caused by liberal offerings OF spot
cotton from this side, and our cable
says that there was an active specu-
lative demand toward the close, which
brought back prices within 3-64d of
last night. After the heavy unload
ing of yesterday the market ap-
peared to be in better
shape and promptly advanced
in response to the news from
Liverpool, but the bears hammered
prices persistently bringing out more
stop orders and the heavy selling de-
pressed prices two points from the
opening and eight below yesterday.
Toward the closing in New York one
of the most rapid reactions seen In
some time took place apparently with
out any special reason, unless we are
prepared to believe that some new
bull element has entered the market
which had previously exhausted its
selling power and was this easily adj
vanced. Our lew York advices fail
to throw any light on the subject but
we learn that there is better spot
demand today, and when spinners
buy spots at prices one-fourth cent
dearer than the ruling rates for fu-
lures conservative shorts are anxious
to be out. The movement for the
coming week still promises to be
heavy and port receipts are estimated
