A SMALL PANIC.
The Presidents War Message and Heavy Gold Exports Played Havoc With Wall
 Street Business.

New York, Dec. 20.-The New York stock exchange was greatly stirred up this morning, the excitement beginning immediately at the opening of the mar ket and continuing to steadily increase as the day advanced. Brokers were in feverish state all day, and rushed hither and thither yelling like mad. It Is years since the exchange has witnessed such a wild scene. As usual on such occasions, the air was filled with wild rumors, and the stock market was not slow to take on a panicky feeling. Some members of the exchange feared the worst, but noble at tempts were made to rally the fast de- clining market, but only with varying success. The depression was generally attributed in financial circles to the eff feet on foreign bourses of President Clevelands message to congress on the Venezuelan boundary question: The re- suit of this was a veritable avalanche of stocks this morning. both from Lon don and holders in America, whose mar gins had become exhausted by tremen- dous shrinkage in values.

don accelerated the downward move ment. The fiurry-in call loans caused ! decidedly further depression in the mal : ket. The enormous shrinkage in values caused a general shifting of loans, and there was a closer scrutiny of collaterals than for a long time.- Yesterday after noon the money rate got up to per cent This morning it opened at 6 per cent, and immediately thereafter trans actions were effected at 12, 15 and 25 per cent. It is expected that this advance in rates will have a further depressing ef- feet.
 At 30 D. m. the condition of affairs at the stock exchange was quieter, and the market, which had previously fallen to 15 points, recovered anywhere from l to per cent. Commission houses were buyers on the slump, but this buying was not of very large proportions.
 Railway and miscellaneous bonds were weak and demoralized today, in sympa- thy with the stock market. The depres- sion to a large extent was due to sales for foreign account, peremptory orders having been received to dispose of the active issues on the market. The losses ranged from 1 to 15 per cent. The sales of bonds aggregated $3,095.000

ALABAMA CONVICT COTTON MILL.
Governor Oates Says the Scheme Will Be a i Success

Baltimore Dec. 2O.-The Manufactur- CTS Record has received particulars of the first cotton mill ever built in this country, if not in the world. to be op- erated by convicts The mill is to be built by the state of Alabama, and the operatives are to be females and youth ful convicts. seven-eighths of them. so the dispatch says, being negroes. Gov ernor Oates, from whom full information comes, believes that the scheme will reap good profits, as the cotton will be raised by the convicts on the state plantation and manufactured on the grounds in this mill. The mill will be constructed by convict labor, will be of brick made on the ground, and the lumber will be sawed from trees standing on the convict farm and dressed by the convicts. A com petent builder will oversee the construc- ton of the mill, the capacity of which mill will be 5000 spindles. 5000 having all ready been purchased, the intention be- ing to add the others shortly.

ANOTHER MESSAGE.

The president sends another message to congress. He informs that body that gold is leaving the treasury so rapidly through the presentation of greenbaeks that we must replenish the gold reserve by prompt legislation. The legislation he asks for is the sale of $5OO,O 900 of bonds with which to retire the endless chain. This means. as we have hereto fore said, an entailment upon the people of sl5,000000 annually as interest on the bonds. It means tax of $5OOOO0 annu- ally upon the people of Alabama It means more than this. Under the presi- dents policy, if we would preserve par ity between gold and silver, his treasury must be ready to redeem in gold every silver dollar when presented. Here we have another $50O,00000O to be funded.
 The endless chain will not cease under the gold programme until everything except gold is switched out of the way. The people are not prepared to saddle themselves with such a debt. It is too burdensome for the present generation to bear. The vote in the senate yester- day upon Senator Aliens resolution shows distinctly that the senate, by 0 majority of twelve. are in favor of free silver coinage and a continuance of the treasury note currency. In face of such a vote it is impossible for the presidents plan to be adopted by the present con gress. What then? The president would not dare to make another gold loan, be- cause the gold received from the sale of bonds would at once flow out to Great Britain to be used as sinew of war. He has done all that his best friends could expect of him. If the result should be that we cease redeeming the treasury notes, we get back to where we were from 1862 to 1S79-upon a paper basis. This is the end of the presidents policy. Every step that he has taken tended to such result.
 The abandonment of hard money, gold and silver as the currency of the people, is to be deplored for many reasons; but we have the satisfaction of knowing thai our people enjoyed greater prosperity when we were upon a greenback basis than they have since we floundered upon a gold basis

Sir Charles Dilke speaks on foreign politics with infinitely more knowledge than MT. Chamberlain. and in a speech last week affirmed that the latter's talk about imperial federation and a colonial customs union is imperial nonsense. He said emphatically and with much truth that Canada and Australia are much more likely to think of casting off all connection with England than of surren- dering jot of their present taxing power or local self-goyernment MT. Chamber lain has, in fact, chosen peculiarly inap- propriate time for his schemes for inter- national rapprochement
