New York. Jan. 5.-Riordar & Co. say
OF cotton to-day: The first week Of the
new year shows no improvement so far
as the cotton market is concerned, as
compared with the last week of 1894.
The port and interior receipts have been
somewhat lighter than had been HX-
pected; but the bears claim that the
snflnkage is largely due to bad weather
In the south. The mere fact that the
receipts were smaller, however, gave
the shorts bad scare on Wednesday,

idea OF any considerable reduction of

that they are wrong. We cannot believe

their present financial condition Will al

be that prices viii 90 lower but we think

ANOTHER CHANCE, AT THEM.

NEW YoRK's EXTRAORDINARY GRAND
 JURY WILL CONTINUE ITS WORK.
 NEW YORK, March 29.-It was generally expected that the extraordinary grand jury, which has been in session since the Eth of January last, Investigating the police de- pertinent, the dock and park departments, would be dismissed today, but it was learled that Chief Justice Vanbrunt of the supreme court had signed an order extend- ing the time of the extraordinary term iDdednitely.
 Justice Ingraham, after disposing of some minor business, adjourned the court of oyer and terminer until Monday. A few moments later Lawyer Kuhn asked the court 10 hear the argument to the de,nur- rers on the indictment of the election in- spectors who are charged with violating the election laws. Judge Ingraham told him be would have to come back Monday to argue the cases.
 It is claimed by those pretending to know that the extraordinary jury will return large number of indictments on Monday next, in addition to handing long pre- sentiment 10 the court on matters other han police affairs,

WILL BE DISCUSSED BY THE FRENCH SEN-

Honataux, minister of foreign affairs, in the senate as to Sir Edward Grey's state- ment. M. Honataux conferred with Pre- mier Ribot and agreed to reply on April 4.

TO THE WHITE HOUSE
The Members of the Methodist Con- ference, Now in Session at Wash ington, Will Go on Invitation
 of the President.

WARRINGTON, March 29. The even tenor of the transaction of business of the Meth- odist conference was disturbed by an uDex- pected incident this afternoon. The que5- tion had come up of accepting an invitation, to the White House, the president having, through Private Secretary Thurber, signi- fled that it would be his pleasure 10 receive the members of the conference, their wives and daughters at o'clock tomorrow after noon. Rev. J. P. Hydo had made the announcement and the convention was on the point of voting to accept the invitation when Rev. John w. Tongue rose and asked to be heard. He objected to going to the White House to pay their respects to the president.
 Although he expressed himself in very clear and strong words it did not appear that MT. Tongue had anything personally against MT. Cleveland, but he urged that it would be no disrespect 10 the president if the conference shoald refnse to go to see him. He told the audience that consistency was jewel, and that when the conference met in Washington in 1875, during Presi- dent Grants administration, tue only time before this that the conference had met here, by deliberate vote they had refused to go and pay their respects to General Grant.
 MT. Tongue paid an eloquent tribute, as "southeIn man to the soit and manners born speaking to southern men,' to the character of General Grant, whose mag nanimxy to our great captain, Robert E. Lee, will ever hold his name bright and dear to the south. But if the conference would not go to see General Grant, why should it go to see Mir. Cieveland3 It might be said circumstances altered cases, but they never altered principles. If the conference was so careful not to seem to go into politics in 1875, why should 1t now be so quick to depart from It's chosen path?
 Almost before MT. Tongue had resumed his seat bali dozen members were up and crying for recognition and the entire con ference was shouting, "Question, ques- tioul'
 Rev. s. G. Ferguson of Fredericksburg shouted: .'I was in the Con federate army, but regret Brother Tongues making that speech.'
 Mr. Hyde and Secretary Armstrong both made speeches, vigorously criticising MT. Tongues utterauce. rising vote was called for upon the question of accepting the invitation, and It was carried, many members not voting.

REMEMBERED
FITTINGLY
By the Ladies' Memorial Asso- cfation of Bullock County,
 at Union Springs.

&
 UNION SPRINGS, March 29.-ISpecial. l- Friday opened sunny and lovely and the ladies' were delighted at their good fortune, as it vas the day for the unveiling of the mon nuinent erected by them to the Confed- crate dead.
 Thss procession formed at 10 o'clock, with all the different organizations, vet eranaS soldier boys and the ladies' associa- tion ia body. A platform had been erected around the monument, on which the Iadies, orator, declaimer and choir were seated.
 Thesexercises were opened by the dear old song,& "Maryland, My Maryland" by quartAtte. Then followed most eloquent and pathetic prayer by the grand chaplain, the venerable MT. Ely ,after which Miss Lucy Randie reclted in most charming and admirable man ner an original poem, writ ten for the occasion.
 Then the speaker, Col. John W. A. Sandford, was introduced ln neat little speech by the mayor, and, as was expected, his address was a gem or oratory and was received with tears and cheers by the in- menss crowd present.
 ''Tanting on the Old Camp Ground ' was then most superbly rendered by the quartette. Three volleys were then fired by the Southern Rifles, and thus ended one of themost memora ble days in the history of old Bullock.
 Two exquisite baskets of flowers were givento the speakers, and they were over. whelmed with thanks, congratulations and compliments.

MAY COME SOUTH,

MIDHLETowN, Conn.,, March 29.--The RusselE Manufacturing company of this city, eLp ploying l200 hands, is considering an invliation rom several places in the south to transfer it's business. The offers includea free factory site, freedom from taxation for ten years, cheap coal, cheap cotton and cheap labor. Tie company does not 1ayor the annexation of the South Farms district, where it's factories are, to the city proper, and claims that it will raise taxes 10 such an extent that, with high wages and heavy freight on cotton and coal, il cannot compete with southern manufactories.
