Cotton.--As suggested here last week, the
large movement by inducing continued liq-
uidation of long cotton, has resulted
in further decline 1t was generally
believed, moreover that the extremely I'M
favorable weather which endured most Of
the week had to some extent diminished
the volumes coming in sight The lowest
point was on Friday when January de-
clned to Isle on Saturday there was
slight reaction which, however, was not
fully sustained, and there are no very evil
dent signs OF immediate strength at the
close. Trading has been pretty free, de-
spite the fact that teiegraphic communi-
cation with the south was very bad all the
week. To a considerable extent transact
tions consisted OF changing January con-
tracts for iater months. which has had
the effect OF somewhat widening premiums
March and May have now become The de-
llveries most IN favor. The main hopeful
feature In the market Is the growing belief
that supphes in first hands are nearing

THE ANCIENT CITY OF PEKING.
One of the oldest in the World ana
the Capital of the Great Khan.

From st. Nicholas.
The city is one of the Oldest in the
world; but it was not made a capital I'M
til Kublai Khan, somewhere about 1882,
fixed his court there. Under the Mongols
the name of Picking was Khan-palik or
city of the khan; and this title was easily
converted into Cambulac. by which name
1t is known in the accounts OF those times.
Picking is now divided into two parts; the
northern portion is the Tartar city, and
contains about twelve square miles: in
this are the palaces, government build
ings, troops and military barracks The
southern part is the Chinese city and is
more populous than the Tartar, less of its
space being taken up by gardens and pub
lie buildings. The population is estimated
at different figures; but 100000 appears to
be fair estimate.
A wall separates the Tartar from the
Chinese city. and wall of varying hight
surrounds the whole, that of the Tartar
section being about fifty feet high, and
that around the Chinese section some
thirty feet high. These walls are OF brick
and stone, filled in with earth and paved
on top with slabs Of stone, affording a
promenade twelve feet wide. There are
sixteen gates in all, and each gateway is
fortified with towers Of stone: and other
towers are fixed at intervals Of about
sixty ydfus al dIouhu the waits. IneSe
towers project fifty feet from the outer
side of the walls, and those at the gate
ways have in front of them fertilization
OF a semicircuiar shape, so that the gate
must be entered from the side and not
from the front.
The Tartar city is divided into three In
closure. each being surrounded with its
own wall and each inside of another
The innermost Of these is the Prohibited
City, and contains the imperial palaces
and offices. It's circumference is nearly
two miles; the wall is covered with i'm
perial yellow tiles, which look brilliant
when seen from a distance. The Enclosure
next outside of this is occupied by the
government Offices. and by the army ap-
pointed to keep guard over the emperor
and his family. The next outside Of this
Is the outermost of all, and consists Of
dwelling houses and she ps.

Some day your fragrance will al be gone,

Much priced you are now.

Your roses will pass away?

And the blue-eyed girl
Swings In the mad whirl

ABOUT q, GOO MAJORITY.
Republicans Garry Chicago and
Most Of tho State
Towns.

CHlcAao-[Speciai. l-Out Of thirty
i've aldermen, the republicans elected
twenty, the democrats thirteen, aud
two independents were chosen. There
are thirty -four wards in the city but
two aldermen were chosen in the
Tenth there being a vacancy In that
ward. The principal feature OF the
election was the effort Of the reform
element to down . number Of gang
Of aldermen. The reformers were sue
cessful with q majority Of the men
they were after but they failed to So
cure three or four bright particular
scalps they desired. Party lines were
not strong In number Of wards and
the reform movement had much
weight. The fight on town officers in
all means straight party issue and
the republicans we're uniformly sue
cessful in carrying all the town OH ,es
by majority ranging from 1900 to
1900.
LILO cicoCiOu WAS very Qul0C save IN
the first and Nineteenth wards where
there were number of fights and sew
eral shooting ARRAYS, robody however,
being seriously injured. Not over
twenty arrests were made during the
day. Returns from the aldermanic
contest show that the republicans have
on the total vote carried the city by q
majority of about 10000.
At II O'Clock from thirty-five towns
throughout the state returns show the
republicans were successful in thirty,
the democrats in three and the split
tickets we're elected in two. The vote
was entirely on city and town officers
ana there was no special issue in any
part Of the state to call out q strict
party vote. All voting was on local
matters.
