GIVES NOTICE THAI HE WILL
RUN ron SENATOR.
A letter iu which See Asks Tor Dem-
oeratlc support

Hon. Charles +. Crisp has formally
announced bis candidacy for The
United States senate The announce.
ment was made Friday night in a letter
which he has sent to his home paper,
The Americas Timos-Recorder. In
that be sets forth his reasons for not
having the third district democrats
consider him among the congressional
possibilities and make definite deola-
ration Of bis desire 10 represent Geor-
Ria in the United States senate. The
letter is as follows:
House Of Representatives, United
Sts.sz - Amofic-, Wash .Es s-r, DC
To the Democrats Of the Third Con-
gressional District: For many years,
without announcement OF candidacy
on my part, You have honored me by
selecting me as your representative in
congress. Silence would now imply
that / wished, OF hoped for. "A continu-
ance of that relation. Inasmuch as
have determined not again 10 be
candidate for a seat in the house Of
representative, / feel bound promptly
TO acquaint you Of the fact in order
that l may not be considered among
those from whom a representative TO
the fity-fith congress may be chosen.
cherish a desire TO represent Georgia
in the senate OF the United States. In
March, 1894, when Governor Northen,
without suggestion or solicitation, APP
pointed me to that great Office, it
seemed my hope had been realized. /
was anxious to accept the place thus
generously rendered. AT the time of
the appointment congress was in ses-
sion and I had been honored by cleo
ton to the Office of speaker. A very
large majority Of democratic members
of the house united in an appeal
that Sin the interest of the country
and the party" / should decline the
( Office Of senator. From my stand
point no other course was open TO me.
Now no such conditions exist, and 1
write this that you may recall my sit
uation then, and that may bo free to
become a candidate for the position of
/ United States senator for the term be-
/ ginning March 4, 1897. 1t only re-
mains for me to add that your long
continued confidence, your cordial,
constant support and your unvarying
consideration and kindness have placed
me under obligations which I can
never hope to repay, and for which /
beg you to believe am now and ever
shall be most profoundly grateful.
Truly and sincerely yours.

TRADE TOPICS.
Dun g. Co.'s Report of Business for
the Past Week.

Dun g. Co.'s Report of Business for
the Past Week.
r. G. Dun & Co. in their review for
the past week says:
In some quarters business gains at
the west rather then at the east, but
there is no general change for the bet
ter, though hopefulness still prodomi-
mates. Foreign affairs grow more
pacific, but the want of sufficient de-
mand for the products of great indus
tries still retard actual improvement.
Strikes of some Importance in gar
Matchmaking ana kindred lines affect
trade in Chicago and Baltimore, but
there are fewer labor difficulties than
usual as existing conditions warn wage
earners that controversies at this time
are unwise. Speculative market shows
little life.
The volume of business does not inn
prove. Exchanges through the prin-
oipal clearing houses show 1877 per
cent gain over last year, but the months
comparison with 1898 is the only in
structive one, and shows a decrease of
20.7 for February,
The market for textile goods is dis
appointing. Material reductions in cot
tons have not brought out the need
ed demand aud further decline in
Lawrence L. L. brown sheetings
this week to 1-8 cents CORES
ponds with the reports that mills
of some Importance may prefer TO ar
rest production for time unless the
demand improves. Clay worsteds are
again shade lower; the range for all
woolens is scarcely ! per cent higher
than year ago, although wool is
more than 7 per cent higher, and a
good many mills are closing or reduc-
ing time
Failures in three weeks of February
show liabilities of $40, $50, 936 against
1923, 02S last year, and 81, 400, Alb
in 1894. Failures for the week have
been 278 in the United States against
$50 last year and IS in Canada against

MORE SHIPS SEIZED.
Schooner Mallory Arrested by Rev
enue Cutter.

euue cutter
ATampa, Fla. dispatch says Therev-
enue cutter Morrill, has arrested the
schooner Stephen r. Mallory at Long
Boat inlet on the charge of being a
fiiibuster. The Morrill, arrived at
Port Tampa Saturday and sailed Tues
day at 3 o'clock under sealed orders.
She proceeded straight to the gulf, and
it is said that she had instructions
to arrest both the Mallory and the
Ardell.
It had been rumored in Tampa for
several days that the Mallory and Ar
dell would sail for Cuba with ammuni.
ton for the insurgents, and Vice Con-
sui Soils has been on the alert, and, it
is rumored, had already notified the
authorities at Washington of the in
tention of the two boats.
Hentz, Hubbard and Liendenberg,
members of the New York cotton ex-
change, and Messrs. Labouisse and
Britain, representing the New Orleans
cotton exchange, addressed the house
committee on agriculture Wednesday
in opposition to the passage of any
anti option bill. The committee took
no action on the matter.
The Mallory is only about six months
old. She is forty eight tons, fast and
seaworthy, aud is owned by Cottrell &
Finlaysen, of Cedar Keys, the former
of whom is collector of customs at that
port. The arms are supposed to be the
same that were seized near Cedar
Keys several months ago by the au-
thorities. The cargo of the Mallory
is valued at $4,000 Her papers show
that she was cleared from Cedar Keys
for Fort Myers.
