STILL BULLISH
Is the Tone of the Cotton Market-The Conti-
 nent General Buyer.

New York, April 23.-The Suns cotton review says: Cotton rose 10 to 12 points, lost this in most cases, fell 1 point, re- gained this and rose 6zto 2 points and closed firm, with sales of 255,000. Liver pool advanced Az points and closed quiet. The spot sales were 12, 900 bales at an advance of 1-16d. New Orleans ad- vanced to points, but lost most of it later on and then rallied again.
 In Manchester yarns were quiet, cloths in moderate demand. Spot cotton here was quiet and unchanged, with sales of ninety bales for spinning and 200 deliver ed on contract.
 The southern spot markets were gener- ally steady to firm and unchanged St. Louis advanced 1-16c. The port receipts were II 569 bales, against 4,406 this day last week and 6967 last year; thus far this week 35,551 bales against 43, ,419 thus far last week. The exports from the ports were 5144 to Great Britain. New Orleans receipts tomorrow are estimated at 2000 to 5000 bales, against 1880 last week and 916 last year.
 Today's features: The course of prices surprised many today, not excepting the bulls. It showed how firm the under tone of the market is and how difficult it is to keep prices from taking an upward course. The government reported con- siderable rain in Texas, and yet it had very light effect. It is recognized that
 
 needs 1t soon. The precipitation for the last six months has been much smaller than during the same period of the preyi ous cotton year and this Is very impor- tant factor in the speculation, for it was the enormous rainfall in Texas last sea- son which swelled the present crop to dimensions unheard of before in cotton's history Today, contrary to expectation, Liverpool advanced materially and Flu rope bought heavily. Liverpool bought the near and sold the distant months, but the continent was a buyer of the gen eral list. Local, southern and outside operators were again buyers. Large bull houses here have made purchases and bid freely for May at premium of 12 points over June. Many of the shorts covered The south was firm.
 A rumor from New Orleans that Neill Bros. will issue bullish circular in re- gard to the crop prospects in Texas had a stimulating effect upon the market this afternoon. There was considerable real izing today by bulls, big and little, but the cotton was readily absorbed and the tone at the close was firm.

Kept Us in the Dark.

Washington, April 23.-As far as can be learned the British government did not take the United States officials into its confidence as to its intention to send it's entire available Pacific squadron to Corinto at this juncture. Both the state and navy department declare that they have received no official confirmation of the movements of the British vessels, al- though it was well known that British ships under Rear Admiral Henry F. Ste phenson met at Panama two weeks ago the Satellite, which had been there some time being joined by the flagship Royal Arthur, which had spent the winter in Chilian waters, and by the Wild Swan, from Callao.
 The Wild Swan is a sloop of 1130 tons. in all respects like the United States steamer Alert; the Satellite is a third rate cruiser, somewhat smaller than the United States steamer Montgomery, and the Royal Arthur is like the Columbia and Minneapolis in dimensions and arma- ment but inferior to them in speed. Of American vessels on the Pacific available for possible emergency in Nicaraguan waters, the Alert is at Panama, the Ran ger at Buena Ventura, Mexico, and the Monterey at Acapulco, where she stopped yesterday to coal for her voyage to Cal lao. She will probably now remain at Acapulco for orders She could reach Corinto in four days if necessary.

Much surprise is expressed that there is no American war vessel at Corinto.

Whisky Men Are Wroth.

Auditor Purifoy has addressed to a number of local whisky dealers a letter calling upon them to pay certain sums for back licenses, it being alleged that the reports do not show that they paid li- cense to dc. business during the time set forth. The dealers claim that the license money was paid to Judge Randolph, and the state will no doubt have a lawsuit in ench individual case before it will be able to collect the money. Some of the dealers are clamoring for the ex-judge to be brought back from Toucca, Mex

Dr. Guzman Confers With Gresham.

Washington, April 23.-Notwithstand- ing the presence of three English war vessels in the harbor of Corinto, it is regarded as unlikely that any overt ac- tion will be taken by the commanding officer, because of Nicaragua's failure to comply with Great Britains ultimatum The state department was advised sev- eral weeks ago that while the English government was determined that in- demnity to Pro-Consul Hatch should be paid, their efforts to collect it would not go to the extent of bombarding any of Nicaragua's coast cities. A proposition has been advanced that customs duties at Corinto will be collected by Great Britain until they equal the amount of the indemnity claimed, $75,000 This course, however, might lead to complica- tions.
 The Nicaraguan minister, Dr. Guzman, was at the state department early this morning. A conference between himself and Secretary Gresham, lasting fifteen or twenty minutes, occurred behind closed doors. Dr. GuZman, it Is said, laid before Secretary Gresham a full state ment of the latest developments in Mica ragua, which the secretary in turn com municated to the president at todays cabinet meeting.

Why the Operators Are Hopeful.

Providence R. l., April 23.-Nearly all the machinists in Olneyville are at the Atlantic mills unpacking and setting up large quantity of new machinery just arrived from England. This evidence of activity has given new confidence to the locked out operatives, and they say that they are now satisfied that the company was merely playing a game of bluff when it threatened to introduce French gray goods in order to continue the lockout. Operatives now believe that the officials are anxious to start the mills, and that it is only matter of time before the first overtures for settlement will come from the manufacturers.

Sealed Orders.

New York, April 23.-The Herald spe- cial cable from Managua, Nicaragua, says: Corinto advices state that the Eng fish fleet which entered that port yester- day consisted of the Royal Arthur, Wild Swan and Satellite The fact that they left Panama under sealed orders caused much speculation here about their des- tination. The government has taken no steps nor arrived at any plan of action in case of blockade or bombardment.

crowded with the rush Of treasure chests
I That IS a pretty sight. but there is a
prctuer when the Mormser brothers go
home There are great many " ormser
brothers Of the first and second genera
ton. The fine moment is when the three
old Wormsers. Isidore and Isaac and a
relative line mp IN Broad street, look
proudly up and down the stamping ground
which calls them kings and start for the
bosoms of their families. They walk to-
gether at first. but not for long, and
this is why every Wormser takes a diff
feTent route home; Ii is a rule Of the
house never 10 expose two Wormsers or
more TO the same risks Of travel They
never take the same street car line or the
same cab. One fakes a cab another the
elevated railroad and "a third the Broad
way cable. Thus IL an accident happens,
fate can get no more than one Wormser
in one day and business viii 90 on. The
home-gOing OF the Wormsers is cheerful.
The gathering Of the beggars IS picture
esque. The beggars do not think OF beg
ging until the exchange is closed. They
know that everybody in Wall street rich
enough to give anything is too busy IN
business hours to think Of beggars. Each
beggar has his method of guessing wheth-
er a Wall street gambler has been lucky
He picks his man and begs. Some think
it is lucky to give to beggars and give
whether they have made or lost money.
These men are the beggars chief prizes.
Many Of the beggars have had money. All
try to dress in shabby genteel fashion to
touch the heart Of the man who knows
that he may be a beggar some day himself
They are an interesting lot Of undeserving
humorists and all by themselves make a
trip 10 the street worth while.
There IS always a good story in Wall
street that the rest of the world knows
nothing Of. i is true and touching. n
young man, belonging TO a well-known
stock broking family was smitten by a
typewriter. 1t happened but few days
ago. The young man Is not popular. he
is rich, but not liberal, self satisfied, but
not intelligent. Some cruel young men
heard that his heart had been touched
and decided to extend the movement to his
pocket. They basely forged a letter from
the beautiful typewriter who would never
have noticed the young man or any other
unless he meant to set the parsons clerk
a singing.
So the young man went to meet the
beautiful typewriter, who knew nothing
about it, and the bad Wall street men
to the number of a dozen lay in hiding
at the meeting place. out stepped one I'M
known to the victim. Il am the young
ladys brother, and I mean to have your
blood was what he said in substance
The victim trembled, but true to his Wall
street instincts asked what 1t would cost
to soothe the brothers feelings. Five hun
dred dollars" said the brother, and 1t was
paid. Then out stepped all the bad men,
complimented the bogus brother on his
clever acting, and told the smitten one that
they would spend his $500 for very fine
dinner and most carefully and thoroughly
drink his health. They did so, and he de-
cided not to protest. He viii be very CRATE
full when he observes that his name is not
mentioned here.

STRAINED IN A DRY DOCK.
The Cruiser Columbia Has n Narrow
Escape From Serious Injury.

The Cruiser Columbia Has n Narrow
Escape From Serious Injury.
washington. duly 13-secretary Herbert
has a cablegram from Capt. Sumner COM
mandlng the Columbia, at Southampton.
stating that the vessel. while in the dry
dock, appeared to be straining, and he
ordered water admitted Upon floating the
vessel all evidences of strains disappeared
and the vessel is apparently uninjured.
When the purport of Secretary Her.
bert's cablegram from Capt Sumner be-
came known about the navy department,
as It rapidly did, the gravity of the mat
ter became exaggerated and rumors were
circulated that the famous cruiser had
been maliciously injured in dock and that
a surreptitious attempt had been made to
ruin her. Officers who are familiar with
docking big ships and who are thoroughly
informed as to the strength of the cruiser
declare that unequal settling on supporting
blocks of such a heavy vessel is common,
and though attended with some danger,
is readily and frequently avoided by ex-
aetly the precaution observed by Capt.
Sumner-that of filling the docks and
floating the ship. The Columbia weighs
over 1000 tons, confined in a breadth of 50
feet and distributed over a length of Az
feet. 1t has been repeatedly demonstrat-
ed that a ship is never subject to such
great strain in dock as in a stormy sea-
in the latter case, where the waves are
long, a ship being sometimes supported
only at the extreme ends.
The Columbia was placed in dock under
Secretary Herberts orders to clean her
hull for the race against time across the
ocean 1t viii be easy to determine
whether she has been permanently strain
ed by running her engines and seeing if
their alignment has been affected The
Columbia has already cost the government
over 100000.
Referring to sensational alleged cable
dispatches of the Chicago Associated
Press, dated Southampton, July u, to the
effect that the United States ship Column
bia had sustained serious injuries in dry
dock, the Secretary of the Navy authorizes
the statement that his dispatch of July
9 from Capt. Sumner, stated that the dock
ing was not well done; that the ship was
being strained and that he Capt. Sumner)
would, therefore, leave the dock, but Cant.
Sumner said the damages were not Sc,
rious.
On July II Capt. Sumner telegraphed his
opinion that all was right and that the
ship was coallng
The department. relying upon the judg-
ment and statements of Capt. Sumner has
not changed its original order for the Co
lumbia to come home at full speed.

THE WRONG LANGUAGE.
A Russian woman Who Thought
Americans Talked German.

From the New York Telegram.
Here is a queer tale Of metropolitan life.
which Is vouched for at the college settle
ment in Rivingtons street. 1t illustrates
the cosmopolitan character Of the city and
shows in a sigularly striking manner how
little we know our neighbors on the next
street and how little they know Of Us.
They have a free kindergarten at the col
lege settlement for the bneit Of the poor
OF the neighborhOOd One morning a wo-
man appeared at the door with a little
child and was met by one Of the teach
ers. The woman began talking vOlubly
in an unknown tongue, and seemed much
surprised at not being able TO understand
the teachers replies.
What are your asked the teacher in
English. Are you German-Deutch?"
The woman seemed very much mystified
and thoroughly disheartened. She only
shook her head in a dismayed sort of way
and said nothing. The teacher sent for an
interpreter
Does your little child understand En-
glish2' asked the interpreter in German.
"EnglishY' responded the woman in the
same language. What is English? Ny
little girl speaks the language Of the coun-
try, and so do /, but the lady here does not
understand me-
Why, the lady speaks the language OF
the country" said the interpreter. She
speaks English, and that is the language
of the coutry.'
The woman looked thoroughly discon-
certed and said nothing. The interpreter
asked her what her nationality was, for
II was plain that she was not a German.
She spoke that language very poorly.
4 am Russian" she said, land 1 live
lis Hester street
How long have Nott hoap in tho co,,r
try?"
Three years"
And didn't you know that the Ian
guage of the country was Engish?'
All" broke out the poor woman. with
a sob, when i came here l only knew
Russian, and / made up my mind l would
get to be a good American and learn the
language the Americans talk When I
moved into Hester street did not under
stand one word they said there, but / sup
posed they were Americans and talked the
language of Americans. So set to work
to learn 1t, and 1 have tried hard for
three years, tai now / can understand all
that they say in the tenement and at the
markets on the sidewalk, and thsy can all
understand me when l talk. And now
to-day L come here, after three years in
the country, and talk to the lady here
and she don't understand me and l don't
understand her. All. it is too badr"
The Interpreter translated the conversa-
ton to tie teacher, who was moved to
great pity. The woman sat rocking her
self back and forth, the picture of woe.
Madame" said the interpreter, 81 anu
very sorry for you but your three years
OF effort have been thrown away. Ameri-
cans talk the English language. and you
unfortunately lived in a neighborhood
where German and Hebrew only are
spoken. The language you have learned
Is German, or at least that sort of mixed
German end Hebrew which they speak
there. I am very sorry for you.'
And the woman, wiping her eyes with
her apron, took her little girl by the hand
and went sorrowfully away.

AMONG THE ALABANIANs.
Three Fights-Return of the Brave.
The Coming Reunion.

The Coming Reunion.
Albany, Ca, July 13.-The effect of the
intense heat for the past two days has
been provocative of three personal en-
counters between six belligerent citizens
of this city, none of them, fortunately, re-
sulting seriously.
The first Of these summer fights was be-
tween Il. +. Morning, a one-armed ex-con-
federate. and j. S. Hudson, over a business
transaction.
The second was between Representative
=. r. Jones and Policeman James q.
Barron over a game of dominoes. and the
last was between Capt John T. Hester and
Capt Y. g. Rust, the result of dispute on
the financial question.
In the encounter between Representative
Jones and officer Barron. T. NJ. Nelson,
who was acting in the blessed capacity Of
a peacemaker was given a black eye and
knocked out in the first round by Col
Jones long upper cuts.
The Albany Guards reached the city
this morning from their participation in
the encampment of the Fourth Georgia
regiment at st. Simons.
Mrs. A. r. Jackson, wife of promi-
rent farmer of this county is critically i'll
with hemorrahgic fever and her recovery
has been despaired of.
The reunion of the confederate veter-
ans Of the Fourth Georgia regiment which
will take place in this city on the oath
promises to be a great success. Prepar;l-
tons for the entertainment of the visi-
tors are already in progress and the pro-
gramme will be decidedly pleasant Gen.
Clement A. Evans has promised to be
present. A banquet will be one of the
features.
