A knot of dispatchers were discuss

Gently, when Tribune reporter Joined
the group. James F. Forbes, chief dis
patcher of q division Of the Chicago
Burlington and Northern road, was
telling u story which had something
of the uncanny about 1t. When he had
finished the dispatchers shrugged up
their shoulders and asked each other
suggestively, "Do you believe In the
psychic forces?" or do you believe
in telepathy?" No one answered but
an elderly dispatcher who sat near,
who said he believed in theosophy.
The story told by Forbes was as fol-
lows: About fifteen years ago." said
Mr.. Forbes, II was employed at a
small way station called Lucan. on the
Grand Trunk railroad. In Canada. 1t
was not very far from the American
border, at which was the town Of st.
Mary's. To the east Of Lucan was an
other station called Stratford, then

really dark and stormy. There was
no lightning. 1t only rained, and the
wind howled around the little station
in a dismal way, making grewsome
company at least. AS I sat there near

at St. Mary's repeated the message

"In about thirty minutes I. again

sound Of the wind souRhing among
the trees had become terribly mourn-
full. So the clicking Of the key was
company and music at the same time,
and this Is probably the reason I paid
such close attention to It. I distinctly
heard the message, and to my dying

CUBAN SYMPATHY MEETING.
A Rousing Meeting Held at Cooper
Union, New York.

New FORK, Nov. 26.-Cooper Union
was crowded with a large and enthusiasts
tic audience tonight, sympathizers with
the Cuban insurgents. The stage was
decorated with flags Of various South
American republics and the stars and
stripes. In the center of the stage and
back of the chairman was a marble bust
of Jose Marti, the dead Cuban patriot,
surrounded by ported plants and palm
leaves. The mass meeting was similar
to the meetings recently held in Chicago,
Boston and Washington.
Charles A. Dana presided and made
the opening address, eulogizing the late
Jose Marti and expressing strong sym
pathy with the Cuban cause.
Dr. Winters, who acted as secretary
of the meeting, read letters of regret
from Congressman Amos Cummings,
Governors Mcintyre of Colorado, Culber-
son of Texas, Clarence King, Ethan AL
len, Martin L. Mcmahon, Rev. William
s. Rainesford, William +. Ball, mayor of
Fargo, n. D.; Ex-Governor II. A. Alger
Of Michigan, Governor Roger Allen of
North Dakota, United States Senator
w. +. Chandler, Augustus w. Peters,
Governor Upham of Wisconsin, Patrick
Egan and Andrew Carnegie.
All the letters expressed sympathy
with the cause of Cuba. After the sec
Rotary of the meeting had finished read
ing the letters he introduced Congress-
man William Sulzer, whom he said was
among the greatest sympathizers in be-
half of Cuba's independence and a man
who stood ready to champion her cause,
even in the congress of the United
States.
Mr.. Suffers remarks were frequently
interrupted with deafening applause.
When Congressman Sulzer finished
speaking the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved, That we extend our SYM
pathy to the Cuban people in their strug-
gle forr, freedom and independence and
we call on congress and the president
of the United States and request them
to grant belligerent rights to the Cuban
republic.

MINTYRE & WARDWELL'S LET
TER.

(Special to Austin Cotton Exchange)
New York, Nov. 26.-Irregularity was
one of the principal characteristics of
the market today. First there was a
decline of points owing to disappoint-
ing Liverpool, then this loss was recov-
improvement in Liverpool, as well as
continued small receipts at the ports and
interior towns, but still later the market
again took downward turn. This was
due 70 an unexpectedly large estimate
of the New Orleans receipts tomorrow,
selling by New Orleans, Liverpool and
New York and lessened demand from
the shorts, many of whom covered yes
terday. Although the market here at
at the close yesterday, it lost all this
improvement on the New Orleans esti-
mate and long liquidation and closed
barely steady at net decline for the
day of to ) points. The trading had
something of half holiday character,
and many are adverse to trading heavily
owing to the fact that Thursday will be
Thanksgiving day. There was some
business in October options of 1896 today
have had some unfavorable influence.
Then 1852 members of the exchange made
an average estimate of the crop of $780,
600 and this may have some effect on
Liverpool tomorrow. Manchester was
quiet and steady.
The New Orleans receipts tomorrow
are estimated at from 10000 to $4,000
against 14,3SS last week, 49, 107 last year
and 10,310 in 1893. Houston expects to-
morrow 5000 to 6000 against 9675 last
year.
The port receipts today were 33,464
against 3S,540 last week, 65,933 last
year and 59,426 in 1893 Thus far this
week they are 10000 against Ill ,465
thus far last week. Memphis received
today 1897 against 4039 last year;
Houston, II, 462 against 1898 last week
and 1914 last year, and Augusta 975
against 99S last week and 1881 last year.
Spot cotton here was quiet and I'M
changed with sales of POI for spinning.
Augusta, Mobile and Savannah ad-
vanced 1-16 cent, and Charleston and
Baltimore advanced 1-8c. At most
points of distribution the receipts con-
tinued light.
The political and financial outlook is
brighter and the spot demand continues
brisk, both in this country and in Eng
land While this state of things con-
tinues to exist we do not anticipate any
marked decline and on the reaction we
still believe it wisest to buy.

A RRuTAL REPLY.

London, Nov. 27-The Chronicle this
morning publishes a special dispatch from
ing an account of peculiar reply made
by the Turkish officials. According to
the correspondent seven men from the
Kharput district applied to CONSTANT

sacres, said to have occurred there. The
officials were forced to tell them the out
breaks had been most serious When the
men expressed hope that their families
were safe the officials replied:
Better that they should have been
killed outright than they should die Of
famine"

sumption that action to relieve the

"a more tangible explanation of the
