Unfavorable for Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. lS.-Glenny
Il Co. say: Liverpool spots, sales
$1,000 bales. Futures, quiet, at an
advance of three sixty-fourths. New
York opened 9 points up, then de-
clined 10 points. At New Orleans,
March futures sold at the opening
at 7:7l, but declined, and at
1870 p. m. the ruling was 7.59.
There was considerable excitement
early in the morning, due to the
report that Neill Bros, of London
and New Orleans, were inclined
to turn their crop estimate
from 100000 to 100000.
Neill, ST., of New Orleans denies
this. The receipts continue heavy
at all ports and the interior, and
coupled with Neill's statement,
broke prices. The present outlook
for the market is unfavorable.

What Reed Thinks.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.--EX-
Speaker Reed is not ready to con-
cede that the Wilson tariff bill
will pass the House, "There will
be elements in doubt until the fin
al vote is TAKEN" said he. "To be
sure the party spirit is running
high, and the probabilities are that
the majority will keep their ranks
sufficiently together to pass the
bill. Still | am not yet ready to
concede that they can do this. You
can never tell how these questions
are going until a final vote is
taken"
Chairman Wilson regards it's
passage as a foregone conclusion
and is making no estimates on the
vote. 81 have made no exact CAL
culation and will make none," he
said, "as l am combining my at
tention to the stages Of the bill as
they develope from day to day"
Representative Tarsney, who has
been the statistician of the COM
mittee, on all the economic ques-
tions involved, said: 81 think that
the preliminary votes on the
amendments show that the Wilson
bill will carry by not more than
five short of a full Democratic
membership"
This estimate does not include
the Populists, who are likely to
vote for the bill. Representative
Hopkins, Republican member of
the Ways and Means committee,
says there is little doubt as to the
passage of the bill.

Another Lecturer Mobbed.

APPLETON, Wis, Jan. 1S.-Major
Sims, the American Protective as
socIation's lecturer, was mobbed at
Kankauna last night. A mob of
two thousand people collected out
side the hall and stoned the build
ing. Sims and a party of his
friends barricaded the doors
and resisted the fierce assault
of the mob. Sheriff Ontagamie, of
this county, was sent for by Mayor
Renter, who also telegraphed for
the militia which Governor Peck
denied unless asked for by the
sheriff. The sheriff's party dis
persed the mob, and with the
help of local officers, escorted
Sims to his boarding house. The
mob followed, throwing stones.
Sims was knocked senseless by a
stone but the officers fought the
mob off and got him safely to his
lodging place. The mob then dis
persed. Sims was escorted to
the train this morning by
three men armed with Winches-
ter rifles and left for Ashland.
A bitter feeling has existed for
several months at Kaukauna over
the American Protective associa-
ton, and the town lis torn up So
cially and in business way by the
events of last night.

The Stanford Huntington Trouble

The Stanford-Huntington Trouble.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 49,
The filing, last evening of the legal
inventory appraisement of the es-
tate Of the late Mr.. Stanford,
brings to light further informa-
ton of the reported trouble be-
tween the Stanford and Hunting
ton interests in the Southern Pa
citic railroad. Mrs. Stanford,
as eXecutriX, also filed a
sworn declaritive that GER
tain property belonging to the
estate had not come into her pos
session through knowledge of the
ownership, that such property by
the estate had come to her. The de-
claration add that she is proceed
ing with due diligence to OBJ
tain possession of such pro-
perty which she believes to
be in the hands Of other per-
sons in New York and elsewhere,
though she is now unable to ascer-
vain lllO SAOSJ hdlulC vi value. vi
these reasons she asks the privil-
ege of filing supplementary in
ventOry. The estimated value of
these missing stocks is Sl3,OOO,00O.
A clause in Mrs. Stanford's supple
mentary declaration names the
missing property, among which
are eleven thousand two hun
dred and fifty shares of
the SouthernPacific ;Sl $50 in bonds
of the Galveston, Harrisburg and
San Antonio at per cent; S799 of
the Mexican International road.
Other missing stocks are in the
hands of roads east of the Mississ-
ippi river. Mrs. Stanford's asser-
lions that she is proceeding with
due diligence to secure these stocks,
the Examiner says, means she has
made a formal demand on Hunt
ington, and if the answer should
be a refusal, suit will be begun.
The Chronicle says: "The inside
workings of the Southern Pacific
will be exposed if Mrs. Stanford
should take judicial steps to re-
cover her property which has
been kept out of her
possession as the eXecutriX
of her husbands will. One guess
as to the reason why Huntington
has not placed them in her grasp
is that in a recent financial
pinch, which the Southern Pacific
experienced, Huntington borrowed
money ON them, and it has been
out of his power lately to recover
them, because he did not have the
ready cash. Outside of these miss
ing stocks, and some property
which now belongs to Stanford
university, the late Senator's whole
estate is appraised at $l7,6SS,3l9."

AN INSANE WOMAN
Taken In by the Police-A Man
Also Wanted.

Last night the form of a hand
some woman was seen on Com
merce etreet. The strange actions
of the creature aroused the suspi-
cion of passers-by, and she was fol-
lowed by interested parties. She
walked on the sidewalk, in the
middle of the street, and
in the gutter, wandering here and
there, as if she were in deep trouble.
A spectator approached her, and
after questioning her, came to the
conclusion that she was of unsOund
mind. AS a result of the interview,
she was taken to the Central Police
station, where she gave her name
as Mary OBrian, aged 10 years.
Upon further questioning her, the
officers learned that she has rela-
tives in San Antonio.
This morning the city authOri-
ties summoned her relatives to the
city hall and they agreed TO care
for her. She is raving maniac at
times, while during certain periods
she is perfectly sane and cOnverses
intelligently.
While wandering around last
night well known young man of
this city was seen keeping a close
watch over her. What his object
was is unknown, but it is believed
that his intentions were evil. He
is wanted by the police, but up to
the hour Of going to press, had not
been CAPTURED.

Habeas Corpus Hearing.

A petition for writ of habeas
corpus was filed in the Thtrty-sev-
enth District court last Tuesday by
John Henry J. Zielke against Eliz-
abeth Smith. The petition was
granted by Judge Noonan and the
hearing was had at 2 o'clock this
afternoon in the Forty-fifth Dis
trict court by Judge King, as Judge
Noonan is occupied in the Thirty
seventh. The petition alleges that
Zielke is the father of Maggie, aged
fourteen years, and Martha Zielke,
aged twelve years, and that the
mother is dead; that the children
are now unlawfully detained and
withheld from his possession by
one Elizabeth Smith, the grand
mother of the children; that she is
not a suitable person to have
charge or control of the children,
and exposes them to dangerous
and immoral associations and re-
fuses to allow them to attend
school and fails to support and
provide for them. He therefore
asks to have them discharged from
the custody of Elizabeth Smith.
