Savannah, July 16.-In addition to
continued strength in the United
Kingdom and continental markets,
there was further good buying by for
eigners also for exports as we'll as in
a speculative way. Corn was some

Possession of the
Grounds.
FIRST DRILL ON THE GUNBOAT.
Lieutenant BrOughtOn Officer Of the Day.
They Will Go to Sea
on Monday.

One hundred and twenty boys in
blouses and spread-bottom trousers
boarded the Passaic's boats and
"pulled for the shore" early yesterday
morning. They had spent the night
IN the swinging hammocks on the
cool deck, and felt fresh and bright
for the first day on shore.
On the morning boat the delayed
tents arrived. The Reserves got them
up in hurry. The canvass seemed
to fall by inert action on the upraised
poles, so swiftly did the sailor boys
make their extensive camp on the
pretty greensward.
Lieutenant Commanding C. I. .
Broughton, of the Third Division,
Savannah, was officer of the day.
After the tents we're placed and
Camp Roosevelt taken possession of
in the name of the state of Georgia,
the government of the United States
and the volunteer militia thereof, the
men occupied themselves pretty much
as they pleased until the call to din
ner. Quartermasters Tom Wrench
and Nose Herman had on their work
ing clothes, and they had the corps of
cooks drilled to a precision that re-
suited IN most excellent spread.
The four divisions were taken on
board the Wilmington in the fore
noon, and given their first drill. They
were instructed in assembly, calls to
quarters, ETC., but will do nothing
with the guns until today.
The Reserves will probably attend
services on the Wilmington Sunday
morning, and will be taken for a sea
cruise on Monday, when the large
guns on the gunboat will be used.
Capt. Oscar j. Brown will inspect
the camp today.
STRANDS OF CAMP YARN.
Yesterday afternoon the first dress
parade occurred.
Lieutenant KInsie was officer of the
guard yesterday.
The boys erected a large flag pole
for the camp yesterday.
A large excursion party from Cum
berland and Fernandina visited the
oamy yesterday.
For today Lieutenant Colding will
be officer of the day and Ensigns Sym
ons and Thomas officers of the guard.
Signalling and torpedo work will be
the order of exercises today. Two
boat crews will be sent out in the
sound to plant torpedoes.
The Pope Catlin has not yet begun
landing passengers on the Whining
ton, and there is much complaint
about it. No information has been
given as to when this will be done.
Capt. Todd, Of the Wilmington, in
forms The TIMES that Sunday will be
devoted to the people to visit the ship,
and says he will be glad to welcome

Paine, Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

Paine, Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.
Savannah, July 16.-Trading in cot
ton today has been upon practically
the same lines as yesterday there has
been some scattered buying by COM
mission houses but the speculative de-
mand is still insufficient to force
prices higher, the continued firmness
and improvement recently established
being largely due to good spot demand
here and at the south.

THE STRIKE SITUATION.
President Ratchford Refuses to Attend the
Conferences.

OVul0EeuVoSs
Wheeling, IVA, July 16,-The ad-
vantages this morning are all on the
strikers side. None of the men have
returned to work. The idle mines are
comparatively email, aggregating 400
men, and, while the strikes are more
on account of local disatfection than
sympathy for the movement, the strik-
ers are aiding the agitators greatly.
At Paramount the situation is proble-
matical; Kanawha leans toward the
strike and Norfolk and Western is
sympathetic. The operators will en-
deavor to have all hands working Sat-
urday and Sunday out of reach of the
organizers. Eastern Ohio is quiet.
UNIFORMITY MAY WIN.
Pittsburg, July 16.-True uniform
ity may eventually win in the Pitts
burg mining district through the eff
forts Of the peace commissioners, but
it will take time. 1t is expected it
will require several weeks, perhaps
month, to secure the signatures of op-
orators to the proposition. Meantime
the miners officials say that no efforts
will De spared to force the strike to
successful issue. The position of the
miners officials in this new phase of
the strike movement is queer.
NJ. ID. Ratchford, national president,
will have nothing to with it. He has
persistently refused to come to Pitts
burg for a conference. In bis COM
munication to the district operators he
throws cold water on the scheme.
President Dole and Secretary Warner
have cut loose from the national exec
utive in the movement and propose to
give it their hearty support.

Instantly the scene vanished. Only
the most intense darkness remained.
Kola bent toward Montcastle.
1T was because you spoke, kind sir, :"
he said. IF you talk, the master will

Silence and blackness reigned for five
minutes. Then the flute note sounded,
and the view Of the sky returned. For
awhile it was as it had been before.
Then one of the stars, which had ap-
peared so indistinct as to be unseen at
times, began to blaze fiercely. Now and
then it would seem to have some sort
of internal eruption.
Itwould burn red and blue and throw
off bits of fire, which floated downward
and slowly expired. One of the sparks,
instead of going out. grew brighter and
brighter as it descended till it took the
form of letter "B" and then melted
away The next spark formed the let
ter &C." and the letters of fire con-
tinued to form and fall till the word
"Benton" had been spelled.
The last letter went out with bright
fash, giving Lamrkin a vague view Of
the large room and the Benton party
about 20 feet in front of him. The next
instant the room was totally dark. 1t
remained so for two or three minutes.
Then the flute note sounded again, and
large square of light appeared ahead
of them. 1t looked as if it were half a
mile from where the spectators sat.
Slowly it began to take the form of the
interior of room. The walls, pictures
and curtains came into view, and then
the furniture, desk, man sitting at 1T.

His lips moved, but no sound passed
through them. Then DR.. Lampkin heard

"Mr. Allen has fainted," replied
Ralph. "He was not we'll and did not

DR.. Lampkin felt some one touch his
elbow and the warm breath of the de-
tective on his ear.
"Remain where you are, {" whispered
Hendricks. "Blast his ugly picturep'
"Give us light, sayl" cried Ralph
angrily.
"See, he-your Mr.. Allen is waking"
said the adept.
"Waking?" sneered Benton. "Do you
think that's the way he usually retires?",
The darkness was lifted slightly.
How it was done Lampkin could not
tell. Montcastle and Ralph could be
seen standing and supporting Allen be-
tween them.
"The door is open," said Kola.
"You'd better all go out into the fresh
