Futures-Liverpool opened 64d

the day improved an additional 1-64d.
This latter, however, was lost before
the close, which was barely steady.
Gables attribute the decline to predic-
tions of heavy port receipts for the
week, current estimates being In the
neighborhood of 100000. Spots in
that market were quiet at unchanged
prices, with sales OF 10000 bales.
Our advices from Manchester are to
the effect that spinners are buying
only their immediate needs, but that
on any signs OF falling off in the
movement they would be inclined to
lay in surplus stocks. Our market

peeted at this point tomorrow, 10000

ed the selling movement which con-
tinued until the close. The end Of the

self Praise.

Self praise is no recommendation,
but there are times when one must
permit person to tell the truth about
himself. When what he says is sup
ported by the testimony of others, no
reasonable man will doubt his word.
Now, to say that Allcock's Porous
Plasters are the only genuine and reli-
able porous plasters made, is not self
praise in the slightest degree. They
have stood the test for over 30 years,
and in proof of their merits 1t is on.y
necessary to call attention to the cures
they have effected and to the volun-
tary testimonials of those who have
used them.
Beware Of limitations, and do not
be deceived by misrepreS entation. Ask
for Allcock's, and let no solicitation or
explanation induce you to accept a.
substitute.

make any such positive statement but

Mrs. Foy Again Sustains Cross-E1-
animation.
PITFALLS PREPARED FOR THE WITNESS.
Planning to Discredit Her Tes-
timony.
SHE ONCE SHOWS CONFUSION.

CHICAGO Dec. 26-Curious people came
by the hundred to Judge Tuthilrs court
room this morning to the trial of Dan
Coughln for completely in DIR. C-onin's
murder, and every seat was taken by the
ticket holders in advance of the opening of
court a little behind time. They came to
see the famous new witness. Mrs. Andrew
Foy, and hear the conclusion of her cross
exs mination by ex-Judge Wing.
Two days rest from the monotonous task
of sitting in one place for hours and listen
ing to testimony and legal arguments had
refreshed the jury. Complacent, self-pos-
sessed and positive, Mrs. Foy was summon
ed from the judges chamber to the witness
chair to be put through the severe operation
Of close cross-questioning. The willy lawyer.
ex-judge Wing, showed that he had spent
some time in the interval Of rest to prepare
pitfalls for the woman on the stand.
He took up the examination at the point
where Mrs. Foy swore to Martin Burke
passing her house the night of May 9, while
she, her husband and several other persons
were sitting on the front steps. Foy fol-
lowed Burke and entered into conversation
with him.
The defense obtained from the willing wit
ness the names and addresses of all the
lrlShmen who were sitting on the steps OF
the Foy residence that right besides her
husband. One Of them, Michael O'Connor,
the witness said. is member Of the police
force in this city.
The defense intends to make witnesses
out of any of these men who win swear
contrary to Mrs Foy's testimony. 1t is
expected to impeach her in that way and
Coughlin's lawyers are considering the ad-
Visibility of putting the defendant on the
stand In this connection If Mrs. Foy's i'm
peachment does not assume strong YER
acious proportions.
Attorney Wing ripped the witness once
and confused her for the first time. She
testified last week, although not in reply to
a question, that her husband and Coughlin
never closed the door of the secret confer
ence room in the Foy house after the night
of the murder.
This morning she said the door was clos
ed after her the night of May TO- when
her husband and Coughlin were talking in
low torres in the front room. After May 4,
she said, Foy and Coughlin were always
talking about finding the body when they
met at her house. She was able to catch
the tenor of their conversation because
every night she went into the room to
mind the baby"
The witness reiterated the significant con-
versation which she had with the defend
ant the night of May II, when her hus-
band was away from home and she was
afraid he had been arrested. She added to
the story of Coughlin telling her to have
no fear. she would be well taken care Of
by his friend Alexander Sullivan, and that
nobody knew who killed the doctor

Several Cases Were Tried Today Be-
fore Judge Miller.
In Judge Miller's court today there were
several cases Of concealed weapons called
for trial and in one case a young man
named Walker JONES' who appeared as a
witness. got in more serious trouble than
did John Haekley, the colored man in
whose defense he appeared. 1t was in evil
dence that there was trouble on Union
street southwest and that Haekley had two
bricks in his hands which he intended to
throw. But thinking his aim might not
be true he pulled from his pocket pistol,
but before he used it Walker Jones dis
armed him and disappeared.
Jones denied that he took the pistol from
him or that he even saw him have a
weapon.
There were two witnesses, however who
claimed that they saw the pistol and JONES'
Judge Miller did not believe that Jones
was telling the truth and gave him a
chance to retract his statement, but he in
sisted that he had told the truth and the
judge ordered him locked up on a charge
Of perjury.
The negro for carrying the weapon was
given sixty days.
Richard Goodall. colored, was given nine
ty days on a similar charge.
Burley Pinkard and Columbus Scott were
each charged with carrying a pistol and
their cases were continued.

humored Findings of the Recent
"COurt of Honor"

The Judge advocate general of the navy
has completed his review of the case Of
Lieut. R. G.. Davenport, and it is now be-
fore Secretary Herbert for action. Lieut.
Davenport was recently before a court of
honor at the Washington navy yard ap-
pointed at his solicitation with a view of
vindicating his course of conduct as execu-
tive officer of the Nipslc during the hurri-
cane at Samoa in 1889. Although the find
1ngS or the court will not beapubliShei in an
official form until the Secretary has acted on
the case, the impression is general in naval
circles that the court, instead of exonerat-
ing him, found that he was precipitate in
his action in leaving his ship before all the
crew had departed. 1t Is understood that
the court found that his conduct does not
call for further action on the part of the
departing n I. .tnasmuch as there was no proof
that he had actually violated any of the
naval regulations, and at most was guilty
of an error of judgment

A Big Strike Among Ohio Coal
Miners Threatened.
employees OBJECT TO CUT IN WAGES
Employers Claim That It is a
Necessity.
THIS IS DENIED BY THE MEN.

BELLAIRE. Ohio. Dec. ga strike of
alarming proportions will be instituted by
1.60O miners in this vicinity on January 1,
II the operators do not revoke their decision
to cut wages on that date.
The miners affected are those employed
along the line of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad.
Some time ago the operators announced
that they were unable to pay 20 cents per
ton. as heretofore. and on January 1 would
reduce to 90 cents per ton, the wages paid
to West Virginia miners.
The claim of the bosses was that they
could not compete against West Virginia
coal and pay ten cents more per ton for
mining, alleging that under this arrange
ment West Virginia coal could be sold at
the mouth OF the Ohio mines for less than
the Ohio operators themselves could sell
their own coal.
On the other hand the miners claim that
tne bosses can make a good profit with
wages at 20 cents per ton
They have decided to refuse the reduction
and unless some compromise is agreed upon
Within few days, all will lay down their
tools on New Year day.

GONE DOWN THE RIVER.
The President and Secretaries Gresham
and Carlisle Take Trip.
Capt. Robley ID. Evans Accompanies
Them-They Go on n Light House
Tender to Shoot Ducks.

The Stars prediction that the President
would go away during the Christmas holi-
days was verified today. The plan of visit
ing Lakewood was abandoned because news
of it got into the newspapers. Instead the
President decided to make a forty-elght-
hour trip down the Potomac He left here
this morning shortly after 10 o'clock In
company with Secretary Gresham, Secre-
tary Carlisle and Capt. Robley D. Evans
naval secretary of the light house board
These three gentlemen Joined the President
at the White House and drove down to the
Tth street wharf, where the steamer await
ed them.
How They Left the White House.
The two cabinet officers and Capt. Evans
left the Presidents office together and
walked out the front door to their carriage
The President left the house by the rear
and escaped observation. The carriages
met at the wharf, where a light house ten
der was in waiting with steam up. No
time was lost in the embarkation of the dis
tinguished party and the vessel made good
progress down the river.
1t is presumed that the trip is primarily
for the purpose of duck shooting and recre-
alton, and incidentally for a conference on
public matters relating to foreign affairs
and the financial condition of the country
Today is cold and clear with a high wind
a decided change from the green Christmas
weather of yesterday and the usually placid
bosom or the Potomac is rough and choppy
1t is. however, ideal weather for ducks
The Press Informed.
When the President had made three hours
progress down the Potomac. Private Secre-
tary Thurber lifted the veil of secrecy that
had covered the Presidents movements, and
informed representatives of the press that
the President had gone down the river for
two or three days duck shooting, and that
Secretaries Gresham and Carlisle and Can't
Evans or the navy were with him. That
is ali there is to it," he said. He didn't
know exactly when they would return. nor
did he know whether they had made the
trip In a government vessel or not. 1t was
MS impression. however, that a private
Yacht was used
