Later the market turned weak and became very tame. losing 2q4 points from the best prices of the morning, but again showing decided strength and closing steady at a net ad- vance of sac points.

 New York, July 7.-(Special.1-The cot ton market was rather quiet today, but again displayed a good undertone and scored fair advance. There was no rain in Texas nor was any predicted Afors-to- morrow. This was the chief supporting factor. Liverpool this morning responded to our weakness of yesterday by cabling a decsine of three sixty-fourths. In spite of this the opening here was firm at from points down to points higher. During most of the day the market was very dull, but in the late trading the demand was quite spirited. The bear leader was buy ing at the close. e- ' August opened at 7.G, advanced to TAO, declined to 737 ran up to 7.45 and closed at TAI to 7.45. with the tone of the market steady. There Is still very little general speculation in the market. Opinions at the moment are almost valueless the inn mediate future of the prices is dependent on the weather in the south. =#.Hs s7

ger, gardener, living four miles south
of Ashland, came to town this morning
and reported that, while returning
from trip to Northern California,
where he had been with load of pro-
duce, and while on Siskiyou mountain,
near Steinman, where the stage road
crosses the railroad, at Z O'Clock last
evening, he was stopped by two high
waymen, Who ordered him down from
his wagon with drawn revolvers, after
which they rifed his pockets of a sack
containing $4S in silver, but over
looked $50 in gold in trousers pocket.
The robbers then told him to get on
his wagon and make himself scarce,
which he did in a hurry, reaching his
home at S o'clock, and not reporting to
the local authorities until this morn
ing. The authorities are now investi-
eating the case. PItzer is not able to
give Il very complete description of the
highwavmen.

New York, Oct. 25.-The Herald has
made investigation into the alleged de-
parture of the filibustering expedition
from New York on the schooner Silver
Heels last Saturday. As to the suspic-
ious circumstances attending the depar
ture of the vessel, ii. p. Brown, her
agent said: ''There is nothing suspic-
ious about the sailing of the Silver
Heels. She took nothing which could
be regarded as contraband goods. She
sailed for Norfolk and Charleston in
search of charter. AS her agent,
should certainly have known if she had
taken cargo from this port"
Despite the emphatic denial of
Brown, the Herald learns from other
sources that the Silver Heels did leave
New York Saturday night loaded with
arms and ammunition, and that she
went direct to sea. AT some point on
the high seas she is expected to trans
fer her cargo to another craft which
would have armed men on board,
whose destination is Cuba. Tomas
Estrada Palma, the Cuban representa-
tive, said:
Il am positive that no armed expedi
ton left this port for Cuba.''

the past Sc hours the words, "We are
unable to agree upon verdict" he
was as imperturbable as ever, evincing
no joy.
The wonderful nerve of the defend.
ant was with him to the end. He
stood up, and with good-natured
smile on his swarthy face shook hands
with his son, Arnold, his counsel and
his business partner, William Charles,
and in less than five minutes was led
back to Jail. Tire jury was dismissed
and the great trial was over.

says: 1t has leaked out here that the

arming themselves and securing large
quantities Of ammunition for several
weeks, but it has been especially brisk
since the return of the attorney sent to
Washington to enjoin the Dawes COM
mission from proceeding to make the
citizenship rolls. The majority of the
Cherokees are opposed to the treaty,
but the most bitter feeling is among
the ignorant full-bloods. They are
prepared to resist any attempt to
change their tribal government. No
immediate outbreak is anticipated. but
great deal depends upon the action OF
the council next Monday.

A Dfmdent Prince,

In the October Century there Is an
article on "MarieAntOinette as Dau-
phine." by Miss Anna l.. Bicknell. In
describing the relations between Ma
rie-Antoinette and her husband, Miss
Bicknell says:
On one of these occasions she ran to
her husband and embraced him. saying
earnestly: II feel that l love you ev-
ery day more and more. Your honesty
and frankness charm me, and the
more I compare you with others, the
more | know how much greater your
worth is than theirs
This effusive speech, although so evil
IDENTIFY sincere, did not suffice to give
confidence to the too difiident prince.
Some time after this incident he sud
denly asked his wife, do you really
love me?" She earnestly replied, IN
deed. do; and every day esteem you
more highly"
He seemed happy on receiving this
assurance; but his uncouth manners
and awkward ways often rritated the
Dauphine, who lost patience and re-
proved him sharply. He showed no
anger at these remonstrances, but his
ewes would fill with tears. When she
saw this she would embrace him ana
her own tears would flow but notwith-
standing her efforts and his good IN
tentions, the attempt to civilize the
Dauphin seemed hopeless.
AS boy he had been neglected. and,
with his very sensitive heart, the aD-
sence of all tenderness and affection
about him had made him shrink within
himself and become incapable OF eX-
pressing what he well knew how to
feel. After the death Of his mothe" he
said mournfully: "Whom can | love
now? No one loves me here. He now
loved his wife, but could hardly be-
lieye that she returned his affection.
