People passing by on the cars have
been attracted by 1t. and every one IL
wonderipgly asking how 1t got there. One
vi the circumstances which adds inter-
est to the incident Is the peculiar site se-

ville's citizens in a religious frenzy
stormed the Ursuline convent on Mt.
Benedict. Aug IL, 1884, and. after COM
pelling all OF the inmates to leave, burned
the buildings.

old nunEery grounds. and while 1t has
been entirely transformed and the hill
cut down considerable. yet-the reeeiiee-
tion OF the mob was so distinct that the
incident of the A. p. A. flag has occa-
stoned more excitement and comment
than IL would IL it had been placed any
where else

COTTON SPECULATION.


A Sharp Controversy During tho Hearing
on tho Anticipation BIiI,
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 5.-Tho
leading authorities OF the cotton trade
were before tho house committee on
agriculture to-day for tho first OF Il
series OF hearings on the Hatch anti
option bill. 1t brought out some sharp
controversy at times, during which
Representative Hatch, the author OF tho
bill, Judge Bliss. of tho Now York cot
ton exchange, and President }. W. La.
buisse, OF tho New Orleans cotton OK
change, as to the PRACTICE OF selling cot
ton with tho distinct understanding
that it was TO be n speculation with no
actual delivery. Mr.. Hatch said that
this practice was carried on constantly
in Chicago. and he had evidence OF I'M
questionable character as to the fact.
Both OF the heads OF tho cotton eX-
changes cntroverted this.
In the course OF the discussion with
Mr.. Boss, Mr.. Hatch asked how many
bules Of cotton tho Now York exchange
had on hand from day to day. "About
275.00O bales, said Mr.. Bloss.
what are your average daily trans.
actiona?"
about 100000 bales and sometimes
much less."
"rhen," said Mr.. Hatch, "your daily
transactions arc more than all the cot
ton you have on hand?"
MIR. BIoss a,scnted and then pro-
ceeded to show that speculative mnr-
kets had tendency to help prices. The
higher the market, the larger the bust
ness. Mr.. Boss added that Mr.. Hatch
had been misiniormed or misled MS to
the alleged practice OF making future
contracts not TO delivor.
Mr.. Hatch-Do | understand YOU to
say that all the trades on the board OF
trade OF Chicago in any OF tho commod-
tiles named in tho bill are always
termined by an actual delivery OF the
property? r..
Mr.. Bloss-I say tho contract calls
for it.
Mr.. llatCh-You misunderstood my
statement That is exactly what | cay,
but there Is not one out OF n Thousand
ever terminated in actual delivery, and
the general understanding is That they
will be settled without that. II, accord.
ing to your statement, the rules OF the
board OF trade require an actual dc,
Ivory on every contract OF that kind
which is made, why is it not enforced
Mr.. Bloss-Because it suits both par.
ties to tho transaction, either directly
or indirectly to mako other disposition

that was done by George Wadleigh, OF

However, it cannot be foretold what IN.
expected things willhappen yet. Captain
Paul Reymann, OF the Wheeling club,
was present, and has notified the sccrc-
tary Of the league that he will protest
both games; his ground for this action
is the fact that the alleys on which last
nights games were played are not the
ones on which the other teams had to
