New York were particularly anxious to
secure him as ordnance officer Of Fri
csson's submarine gunboat, the De-
stroyer, which was renamed by its new
owners the Pirating. The baron, who is
tall and distinguished looking though
democratic in his tastes and manners,
was glad to accept their offer, for he had
hitherto longed for nothing so much as
an opportunity to go into actual combat,
and he was moreover enthusiastic over
the Destroyer, his admiration for which
was heightened by the fact that her inven-
tor, of undying Monitor fame, was coun-
tryman of his birth.
Baron de Foch's disappointment, there
fore, over the fact that the Destroyer did
not get into action, must have been par
ticularly acute. but that he has abundant
reason otherwise to look back upon the
expedition with satisfaction, TO say the
least, is indicated by recent number of
the Smalands Allehande, a prominent
paper published in the Swedish city OF
Jonkoping, where the baron was born IL

around he saw a dorsal fin Swimming

which was then thrown overheard.

Memphis, Tenn, May 12.-Bishop Hol-

after which the exercises were conducted
by Rev. G. l. jackson.

ness was taken up. The report OF the
committee on Sunday schools was read

Bishop Beebe then took the presiding
officers chair and presided during the
days session.
The finance committee reported, and
the report provoked much discussion.
The ma GRITTY report favored a general
assessment for the widows and orphans,
the minority report favors local assess
ment for the said purpose. After con
siderable and heated debate the majority
report was adopted.
The second section of the ma orlty re-
port was also adopted. The session was
of little interest to the public, but brought
out much that was of interest to the
delegates. Discussion was brought up IN
regard to the time of the payment or

The Manohester Market.

Manchester, May 12-The market dur
ing the week has been dull, the condi-
tions being identical with those that pre-
vailed last week. The enormous eastern
exports since January the rates of ex-
change and dear money in India are so
many drawbacks. Some business has ac-
tually been done on the March, 1892, basis
with India and China Some
orders for South America have been
returned, owing to the unsatisfactory
conditions. A moderate business was
done with the continent In the home
trade only fair asserting business was
done Instances of accommodating stocks
are increasing Yarns are increasing
every week and sales are difficult. Home
users are taking supplies for their urgent
needs only, and are almost able to make
their own price. Some low sales to the
far east afforded but scant relief to
troublesome stocks. Prices were mostly
irregular, averaging fully l-l6 lower.
Most Of the mills intend to make
the Whitsuntide holidays as long
as possible There is better
feeling in the Liverpool cotton market
on the doubtful idea of very rapid de-
crease in the supplies based on an esti-
mate of consumption from official export
business. General spinners are fairly
engaged. There was, however, little
business during the week. France re-
ports plenty Of orders for Rouen fancy
specialities.
