THE MARKETS.
Cotton Letter.


 New York. Dec. 6.-(Special )-Liverpool today showed more interest in cotton than for some days past and the improvement in that market was reflected at our opening by an advance of about points. January opened at S11 and advanced to S15, then there was free selling and the market be- came weak, January declining to sos. But in the last hour there was brisk demand to cover shorts and January advanced to Sl6. The close was steady with s14 bid for Jan uary, and prices have now reached a point at which there seems little danger of any further serious break for the rest of the month. We rather expect the fluctuations to be within moderate range and to be governed by the daily bulletins of receipts. On weak spots we would rather buy, taking moderate profits whenever the market shows frmness. We think 1t dangerous to be short, though we hardly look for any very decided change in either direction until after the new year has begun.

ADVANCE IN SILVER.


The l,lse Caused by England's Probable
Participation In the Monetary Confer.
ence.
New York, April 1.-The advance
in silver in the open market in London
Saturday has been followed by the
corresponding rise in silver here, which
has led to increased strength and activ-
ity in silver certificates. The price OF
silver is fixed at 2 p. m. daily In Lon
don at meeting OF bullion dealers,
and this rate stands as official, not
withstanding what operations may
have been made prior to or subsequent
to this announcement. The price Is
thus fixed in order to enable producers
and smelters to form basis for opera
tons. Yesterdays advance In the
price of silver is attributed to grow
ing belief that England will consent TO
join in the bimetallic conference, which
now has assurances Of representation
from the United States, France and
Germany. 1t is said that Spain Is In
the market as buyer Of bullion in
connection with the Cuban insurrec-
ton. Bar silver closed at 5 y. IN.
quoted at 299kd bid per ounce.

MUCH CONCERNED.
The Venezuelan Problem Making
Secretary Gresham Anxious.
SITUATION SOMEWHAT ALARMING.
An Order Issued Restricting Second Class
Mall Matter to Actual Subscribers to-
Journals Entitled to the
Pound Rate.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The secretary
OF state Is very much concerned these
days by the Venezuelan problem The
British ultimatum delivered to Nicara-
qua Is not source Of political appre-
hension, for IL is not now believed that
the British will not take the action
in the way Of acquiring territory
In that direction or TO jeopardize
the property Of Americans in Mica
ragua by bombardment in their
efforts TO force a collection OF the
indemnity demanded from Nicaragua.
These are the two moves that might
cause the United States to interfere.
But in the case of the Venezuelan
boundary dispute there is much graver
cause for apprehension. 1t appears
that our ambassador, Mr.. Bay
ard, has not succeeded in in
dueing the British government
to give heed to the request sub
mitted by him at the direction OF con-
eress that the boundary dispute be sub
mitted to arbitration. The British are
profuse in their declaration of will
ineness to arhitraie the title to the
lands west of the Shoonb berg line, but
in the view OF the state department,
this is a pure evasion of the real issue,
for there never has been any reasonable
assertion OF a British right to this ter
rtory and it is territory lying east Of
this line that forms the substance OF
the contention The present situation
is believed to be alarming, as armed
bodies Of British and Venczuelans are
pressing each other closely in the dis
puted territory, and there may be
hostile clash at any moment.
The administration has been eonsid-
ering carefully the course to be par-
sued in such case, and it is entirely
probable that II the British persist in
bringing about such Il collision after
their failure to hear the repeated
warnings and requests Of the United
States to submit the matter to fair
arbitration, then the United States
will feel obliged to follow the moral
aid II has given to Venezuela in this
matter by more substantial assistance.

The swamp AnssL

The eightinch Parrott gun, known ~
the Swamp Angel" will be recalled
by many who were old enough to read
and understand the skirmishes and
raids and battles during the civil war.
The story Of its construction Is about
as follows: The colonel Of Q regiment
Of New York engineers was ordered by
Gen. Gilmore In 1868 TO mount the gun
on Morris island, South Carolina, the
place being designated as about mile
out in the swamp, and to make requisi-
ton for all needed appliances The
colonel made survey Of the place
designated, viewing 1t from the nearest
dry land, and then sent In requisition
for two hundred men thirty feet high
to work In swamp twenty feet deep"
Gen. Gilmore, not approaching this bit
Of humor from his subordinate, placed
him under arrest, and the officer found
ita hard task to get relieved The gun
was subsequently mounted by tho
colonel, and 1t was dubbed the Swamp
Angel" after astonishing both federals
and oonfederates by sending shell
from Morris island tweuty.one thou
sand feet into the streets Of Charleston
and making q great slaughter. It fired
thirty-six rounds and then burst near
the brcech. It Is now said to be In

Gen. Smith Asks for Troops to Make
Squatters Leave Yankt0n Reservation.
ARMOUR, s. d., April |. - Gen. ].
A. Smith, superintendent Of the Yank-
ton reservation, telegraphed to the In
terror department at Washington yes
terday that he was unable to cope with
the squatters already on the reserva-
ton with his small force Of Indian po-
lice, the squatters refusing to leave
the reservation. Assistance will be
necessary to enforce his order that the
squatters must leave the reservation.
Gen. Smith says that troops can be
brought here in twenty-four hours
from Omaha by rail- and that Is the
nearest available point where troops
are stationed. lie says that he can do
nothing with the squatters now, as he
has only fifteen or twenty milan po-
lice, and Is utterly powerless. The
situation will be much worse when the
crowd increases. There is a small but
steady stream of boomers going on the
reservation.
