Feared He Would he Lynchec.

Judge Buchwalter, of Cincinnati,
delivered an elaborate opinion in the
case Of the extradition of the Rev. A.
:. Hampton, colorcd, demanded by
Kentucky for shooting and wounding
a Mr.. Durham in Green county. When
Hampton was first before the court
his honor had refused To deliver him
ulless he had assurance from the gov
ernor of Kentucky and from the judge
of the trial court that Hampton would
be protected from mob violence and
that he would be given a fair trial.
The court said no such assurance had
been received. He found both the in
dictment and the requisition defective
in form. but on the broader ground of
securing the rights of the prisoner,
the court held that he was justified in
refusing to surrender Hampton. The
presumption that he would die with
out legal process If sent back had not
been rebutted by proof of any kind.
The court cited statistics of 10 lynch
ings in Kentucky within a compare
lively short time and recalled the fact
that one of the victims had been sur
rendered by this court The court
felt the obligation to perform moral
duty in this case.

The Pension I.imit Reached.

A year ago Commissioner of Pensions
Lochren said that the limit had proba-
bly, been reachsd in the number of
pensions, or rather the amount to be
yearly appropriated for pensions, but
that for two or three years the pay
ments would remain about the same.
1t was his opinion that there would be
a slight reduction in the number of
pensioners ON account of deaths, but
that the allowance of new pencions,
with back pay and arrears would prob
ably keep the amount about even.
While the amount of money paid for
pensions win not be materially differ
ent from that OF past years, it appears
that there hassbeen added to the pen
sion rolls during the year about 1000
names in excess of those that have
dropped out, so there has been an in
crease instead of decrease. There
Fve been q great many outstanding
pension claims adjusted during the
year and that accounts for the large
increase. The year has not been very
fatal to pensioners, the death rate be
ing less than would be anticipated at
the time of life at which the veterans
of the late war have arrived.

The Boom in Cotton and Wheat the
Leading Features in the Market.

Leading Features in the Market.
r. G. Dun & Co. 8 weekly review of
trade says: The speculation in cotton
has lifted the price fve-eighths during
the past week, and quotations are so
much higher than at Liverpool that
free exports cannot be excited. 1t
seems no longer possible 70 hope for
good crop, and Neil Bros. have is
sIled circular predicting yield OF
only 1000, 900 bales. The accounts of
injury and loss grow more dismal each
week, and while they may be somewhat
exaggerated, the general outlook is de-
cidedly unfavorable. But for the ex-
traordinarg supplies carried over from
last year, the manufacturers here and
abroad would be in trouble. The prices
of goods rise each week, adding to the
profits of mills, which on both sides of
the ocean can use for some time old
cotton bought st low prices 1t is not
vet clear how far the consumption will
support the manufacture at the present
rate and at present prices for goods,
though the demand from dealers is nat
urally urgent, while the market for
raw material is constantly rising.
There is still some chance Of strike
in Fall River mills, though the rise
IN prices viii make it easier for the
mills to grant some advance in wages.
The wheat market has been excited
without much discoyerable reason and
the price has advanced over z cents for
spot and q for December deliveries.
It may be said that crop prospects
abroad are not quite as favorable as
they were a month ago, and with a
short supply at best in this country the
mrrket is liable to be unduly sensitive.
Holders of corn have iudiciorsly de-
clined to ''sympathize" with wheat to
great extent and the price is prscti-
cally unchanged.
Pork and hog products are all some
what lower
There is also halt in the price Of
leather, no higher prices having been
recorded this week. though hides are
on the whole shade stronger. The
advances in wool at London sales stim-
ulated the speculation here, but prices
are on the whole unchanged and sales
have been for the month "a, ,675, $40
pounds, OF which 10, 667, COO were for
eign, against 31,07l, 900 for the same
