GEoRGTA's RELIEF TRAIN.
It's Arrival Acknowledged BY the
Nebraska Manager.

Baltimore. Nd, Jan. 29.--R II. Edmunds,
editor Of the Manufacturers Record. is in
receipt Of a letter from Rev. Luther p
Ludden, general manager of the Central
relief commission of Lincoln, Neb., in
which he says; 'T beg to acknowledge the
receipt of twenty-one cars, forwarded
under the direction of ex-Gov. Northen.
They reached here in good condition, and
before I dictate this letter, some of them
have already gone forth into the destitute
parts of our state. Others will go forward
Immediately. We are very glad, indeed, for
the incident you refer to concerning Ne
braska's contributions toward Charleston
at the time of the earthquake, and believe
with you that these things ought to
strengthen the ties that bind us together
in one great sisterhood of states. I believe
this donation will result in an exceedingly
friendly spirit being made manifest among
many of our people for the south. know
we appreciate the spirit in which you give
it; the spirit in which you have labored
to make it so marked a success. Your
starting the ball rolling In the south awak-
ened an interest in other places, and the
full measure of the direct result of your
ured, indeed, By the car loads sent from
the south alone, because our mails bring
us indications every day that others, see
ing what you were doing, have gone for
ward to initiate your noble example and
carloads have been offered as result. Our
free transportation upon miscellaneous
shipments has been cut off, and we will
probably need other car loads of food sup
plies. Another great need is grain. be-
lieve, should we ask for transportation
on specially valuable shipments, it will be
granted.
on behalf of the drought sufferers, to
whom your supplies will bring so much
gIadness and good cheer, reinspiring them
with hope and letting them know that
love for fellowman is not dead, We desire
to thank you, and through you those
whom YOU have interested in making your
donations grand success. Believing that
those who have given will be rewarded
in basket and store for all this kind
ness to us IN our hour of distress, I am,
Yours truly, Luther +. Ludden.
Mr. Edmonds is in receipt of informa-
tion that the fun train load that is being
made up in louisiana will be sent out this
week 1t will consist of 20 carloads of
sugar. rice, molasses and other produce
and will aggregate in value from $4,000 to
$40, 900
Chattanooga has undertaken to get up
a full train load, and it is reported that
some 10 or y cars of provisions and coal
have already been secured. The total con-
tribution from the south to Nebraska, Sc
cured through the efforts of the Manufac-
turers' Record, from beginning to end
will probably aggregate over $4,000.

COTTON AT THREE CENTS.
EUROPEAN SPECTATORS COUNT
ING ON a BIG SLUMP.

Sales Now Being Made at Liverpool
for Delivery in October, November
and December on n Basis OF About
4 Cents on the Farms in the south.
The President of the Cotton Crow
ers' Protective Association Gives
Warming.
New Orleans Jan. 29.-Hon. Hector
d. Lane Of Alabama. president of the
American Cotton Growers Protective As
ISOLATION. has furnished the following
significant memorandum for publications:
To the People Of the South: It goes
without saying that n anything like
cent cotton on the plantations Is witnessed
next year, a general crash will ensue-
Real estate and securities of all kinds
win reach such a level In the south as few
can imagine.
European spectators are to-day selling
cotton in Liverpool for delivery in oeto-
Der, November, December 1895. at a price
equivalent to about cents on the farms
in the south for middling or cents at the
ports. believing that another 100000 or
larger crop win be grown in America.
which would insure them a profit OF at
least l cent per pound, which would mean
to the farmer about 8 cents at the railroad
stations next autumn when cotton is mOv-
ing In large volumes. II is not to be sup
posed that these shrewd European cotton
people are aggressively selling the next
crop at equal to cents unless they have
excellent reasons for believing that the
south will plant another monster crop.
They are confident on information furn-
ished them that Texas will not decrease
its acreage, therefore, believing this to be
true to such an extent that they Will be
able to buy back during next fall the cot
ton they are now selling at much lower
prices. realizing thereby handsome profits
It remains with the farmers and mer-
chants of the south to say whether these
European spectators will be permitted
to reap a golden harvest at the expense OF
the farms, plantations, towns, real estate
and securities OF the south.
The above statement is from me official-
~ and desire that II should be presented
70 the public, as such, through the press

.DELAWARE's DEADLOCK.
The Representatives As Far From an
Election As when They Began.

Dover, Del, Jan. 29.-Five times the gen.
eral assembly voted for United states
senator in joint session to-day, making in
all the twentieth Intellectual ballot that
has been taken.
The republican members of the legisla-
ture are apparently as far from an agree
ment now as they were when they con-
vened for organization at the first of the
month. The deadlock is unparalleled in
the whole history of the state, and no one
can now tell how it viii end.
The republican caucus for thes selec-
ton of a candidate for state treasurer
that was to have been held last night has
been called for tomorrow night. 1t is
still uncertain whether the Higgens men
will attend. If they refuse to 90 into the
caucus, they will be placed in the same
position as were the Addicks men who re-
fused to go into the senatorial caucus, and
this is a predicament they would like to
avoid, as the chief argument of the HiS-
gems men since the trouble begun has been
to call the Addicks men caucus boilers.
The democrats of the Legislature We're
to have held caucus last night to select
a candidate for state auditor but learning
Of the republican fiasco, they adjourned
till this morning. Then, upon q knowledge
that the republican caucus had been post
poned till tomorrow night, the democrats
decided not to hold their caucus until
Thursday morning.

JUDGE LONGS PENSION.
Judge bradley Holds That the Com-
missioner Had No Right to Cut II.

Judge bradley Holds That the Cons
missioner Had No Right TO Cut II.
Washington. Jan. 2o.-Judge Bradley OF
the district supreme court to-day render
ed a decision that the pension Office has
no right to reduce the pension of Judge
Long Of the Michigan supreme court. and
issued a mandamus on the commissioner
of pensions directing him 70 restore Judge
Longs pension to the original figure.
The opinion is similar TO that delivered
by Judge Bradley in the same case in
January, 1894. A mandamus was then
issued against the reduction Of Judge
Longs pension to $50 a month, but on
account of an error In the proceedings
and the act Of Dec. %, 1898, prescribing
certain forms OF notice in cases OF re-
ducton, the pension had been restored
and there remained no issue except that
OF costs. a little later a suit was brought
in equity against the commissioner ask
ing an injunction prohibiting the reduc-
tion of the pension, In which the same law
was involved. This case was also de-
cided, by Judge Cox, in favor Of Judge
Long because the notice of reduction
given was not thirty days as required by
law. In the matter of law, however,
Judge Cox decided contrary to Judge
Bradleys decision Of last January. On
account of a technicality In the notice
gwen, the case was not clear enough
to take to the court Of appeals, and an
other petition for q writ Of mandamus
was fled This Is the case I'm which
Judge Bradley rendered his opinion to-
day.
Judge Bradley says he feels strength
ened in the views to which Judge Cox
could not agree, and makes several sug-
gestions additional to those in his origi-
nal opinion. These are that the issuance
of a certificate giving Judge Long PEN
sion OF S72 a month was justified by law
and by the pensioners disability; that
Commissioner Lochren had no power to
review and reverse the action of his pre-
decessor upon the same state of facts
for alleged error In judgment, and no
power to change Judge Longs status on
the pension roll, and that Commissioner
Lochren, having no discretion in the mat
ter the court has right to command
the commissioner to revoke his order re-
ducing the pension.
Secretary Hoke Smith was made a party
to the action with Commissioner Loch-
rem, but Judge Bradley dismissed the
petition as to him, holding that no func-
ton was performed by him in the revo-
cation of the pension certificate, and that
no act is essential to be performed by
him to restore Judge Long to his right.
The case will probably be taken to this
court of appeals.

in the days session of the Senate by a
resolution which was offered by Mr..
Manderson, rep, end which after dis
cussion was referred to the finance COM

which Mr.. Henderson admitted looked
like a hCdge-podge, but which really

ment of the payment of duties In gold
on goods imported from countries hav-
ing a gold standard, and in gold or silver,
on goods imported from countries having
a silver standard; and finally, the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to
/, and the enlarged coinage Of subsid-
iary silver coin.
Interesting remarks on the proposition
and on the financial question generally
were made by Messrs. Manderson and
Teller
Mr.. Hill presented resolutions Of the
Chamber of Commerce of the city OF
New York on the subject of the national
finances; and said that he did so on ac-
count Of the high standing of that body,
one Of the oldest organizations Of the kind
in this country, having been founded in
17eS and on account of other considera-
tions
The resolutions, which declare hearty
concurrence with the recommendations
Of the President of the United States,
were read and referred to the finance
committee.
Amendments 70 the pooling bill-which
Mr.. Butler, dem., of South Carolina, said

gested by Mr.. Chandler, rep, of New

Bank, and had been connected with the
institution since its organization. Senator
