But Tone Was St org.

New York, Nov. 10.-(SpeciaD-The
trouble with the market appears to have
been that it has had too many instead
of too few friends, as the sellers to-day
have been those who have held cotton
for long time. This liquidation carried
the market TO the lowest point Of the
season. after the buying by Liverpool
this morning to close arbitrage transac-
lions. In the South the rush to. sell
holdings has continued increasing the
receipts. though there appears to be a
general disposition to reduce the crop est-
mate as a result of the repeated freeze
aud the buying of this afternoon mp
pears to be based upon these ideas. From
Northern Texas advices have been re-
ceivcd of an anticipated lighter move
ment but the main basis for an advance
must come from an accepted belief Of
crop of 100000 bales, with prospect of
the best trade we have seen since the
Barring panic \ large short interest has
been formed rs n result OF this decline of
the past few days. During the afternoon
the market recovered the decline of the
day on what appears to be renewed buy
ing for European account and closed
with n Steadier undertone. Foreign
buyers returning from the South report
the effect of the recent freeze upon the
crop is not yet fully realized.

SOLDIERS AND THEIR SONS.
In Two Weeks 20,0o0 Have Been En-
rolled i'm This State.

The first public meeting of the Mckinley
Camp of Soldiers, Sailors and Sons of
Sailors was held last night in the rooms
of the Citizens Sound-money League, at
IS North Meridian street. In opening the
meeting the president. Thomas Hanna, said
that for the first time since Lees surren-
der at Appomattox the country had called
on the soldiers for help. In the last fort
night twenty thousand soldiers and their
sons had been enrolled in the State, he
said. The first speaker of the evening was
s. H. Spooner who introduced his
marks by speaking of the record of MIR.
Bryan. whom he called the modern Don
Quixote clad in the full armor OF the Pop
ulistic party to avenge the dishonor done
his silver mistress. Like his prototype, he
viii 60 down in history as the most sor-
rowful figure in American politics. The
speaker devoted himself to contrasting the
plank of the Chicago platform which de-
nounces arbitrary interference by the Pres
ident in State affairs, to the part of the
nounced the lawless invasion by an armed
force of any State. He showed the great
difference between the platforms and repu-
platform of Lincoln of 1860 was denuncia-
tory of federal interference in State af-
fairs in the same way as the Chicago plat
form.
Rev. d. r. Lucas was the next speaker
DR.. Lueas's remarks We're interspersed

suits which would follow the victory of
SuGn pialiOiIil DIS ti9sSe ~tStoktACd III
w H. Reagan addressed his remarks TO
the soldiers present and told them of the
s. Kenworthy, of Iowa, called to the
front and spoke briefly He said that he
had been sent out to sneak in Michigan
Iowa and Indiana and had been told by
the committee that he would find a large
free-si1ver element in the places to which
he had been sent, but he had failed to find
it.
The meeting was most enthusiastic one
and the speakers were interrupted by ap-
plause at every telling point. There were
about six hundred people present. includ-
ing many ladies. The next public meeting
eyeninss at the same place. AT its regu-
lar meeting next Sunday afternoon tht
camp will make arrangements to receive
General Sickles's party when it arrives in
the city.

johnson on Drafting Rule.

When in Detroit Monday President John
son, of the Western League. was inter-
viewed by the Free Press and replied as
follows to a question as to whether he was
still opposed to the National Leagues
drafting rule: Very much So The West
ern League teams have lost a good deal
of money in the process and will continue
to lose until the big League gives us some
relief. L will give you some examples of
the injustice of the present plan. Third
baseman Niles, to whom Kansas City paid
$l10, was drafted by the National League
and paid $3.50 month The price paid to
Kansas City for his release was $780, and
this exact amount Manager Manning had
to pay to secure the services of Hatfield
for the position and Hatfield had to be
paid $500 a month. Niles did not hold in
the National League and came back to our
League at his National League salary
Sl50 month. He was drafted by Pittsburg
at $500 Milwaukee experimental with n
number of players, all the time at loss
to itself because the position was weakened
had to pay him $225 a month. Milwaukee
paid first baseman Carey 1925 month Bal
timore drafted him at $780, and to fill his
place Milwaukee had to buy Stafford from
1925 salary. This winter / will repeat my
proposition to the National League to in
crease the pay of it's drafted
Western League players only when
they demonstrate beyond doubt that
they are fit TO stay in National League
company. Then we will not be flooded
with discarded National League PLAYERS at
National League salaries. | do not know
how it will be treated. / have been turned
down by the big League before and may
he p ga in -
