Cotton COrnercd In st. Louis.

st. Louis, August 5.-Cotton is
SAID to be cornered in this CITY.
and is likely to remain SO until
September |, or until the official
cotton wear opens and the new
crop begins to move. The state
ments of the local ware houses
show that the total number of
bales in storage aggregate 1852
bales. Last year at this time
there were 25,235 bales.
Or the 9,6S2 bales now on hand
5000 are held by one firm. the
Allen Vest Commission Company
James u Allen, of the latter
company, when asked if there
was corner, replied: This is
the end of the cotton season of
1896 and 1897, and cotton is
mighty scarce al all the leading
points between New Orleans and
St.Louis. We have over 5000
bales In the warehouse, and we
are holding on to il. as nearly
half of that cotton is two years
old. 1t is well seasoned, and the
crop of two years ago is finer
than last years growth" He
would not admit the existence of
a corner.

and freight are now waiting ut the
entrance to White Pass, in Alaska.
for an opportunity TO cross the

and that many more are prepar.
ing to Join them, | deem it proper
to call the attention OF all who

this advanced period Of the sea
son, even if they should succeed
in crossing the mountains. To

pass 700 miles of difficult naviea
ton on the Yukon river, without
adequate means of transportion,

is doubtful if the journey can be
completed before the river is

public notice to these conditions

consequences to people detained
in the mountainous wilderness
during five or six months of an
arctic winter, where no relief can
reach them, however great the
need.

MISS KITTiE HENDERSON'S
ASSAILANT HANGED BY A
MOB.
How He Was Captured From The
Officers Who Were EndcayOr-
ing to Spirit Him Away.

Asheville, y. c., Aug. IL
Bob Bracket the negro assailant
of Miss Kittic Henderson, was
lynched this afternoon.
AS announced in an Associated
Press dispatch last night, Il mob
broke into the Jail at this place
and commenced to batter down
the steel doors that led to the
cells. The doors soon yielded
and it was then discovered that
Bracket had been spirited away
by the officers. All the other pris-
oners in Jail were liberated.
Pursuit of the officers was at
once commenced and crowd
caught up with them at Terrell
station, on the Southern railway.
is miles east of Asheville, early
this morning.
Bracket was taken from his
protectors, but the mob could
not agree as to the disposition of
him. Some wished TO hang him
there, but the stronger party de-
cided to take him back to the vi
cinity of his crime. 1t was 4:35
a. m. when the party started out
afOot, leading the negro. now
nearly exhausted and seemingly
only half conscious, though he had
not been i'll treated. Breakfast
was had with Il farmer. the negro
having his share, and then the
walk of some twelve miles was
resumed. The route was through
a deep ravine, between towering
mountains.
At noon Hemphill schoolhouse
was reached, and there the pa~tv
was informed that the Ashcville
MALTA had been called out and
were on their way TO meet the
mob. After consultation, Miss
kittie Henderson, the negro's
victim, was sent for, four and a
half miles away, that she might
see her assailant hanged. When
she arrived the negro was strung
up so quietly that half the hang
ers on who had gathered from the
country round did not know that
it had been done. No shots were
fired, and the mob dispersed after
a half hour leaving the body
hanging.
At no time was it possible for
the maIitia to have interlerred.
This is the third lynching in
Buncombe county In twelve years.

During the War.
From tho New York sun.


Thirty two years after the end
of the civil war the rumber of
pensioners on account of that
war exceeds by a quarter OF a
million the number Of soldiers
actually engaged in service in all
the armies of the Government at
any time between the firing upon
Sumter and the surrender of Lee
at AppomataX. The army Of
pensioners after third of cen
tury is between SO and 40 per
cent larger than the fighting
army at any one time during the
war.
In the period between the war
of the Revolution and the second
war withe Great Britain the pen
sion expenditure eliminated at
$4,1S5 600 in 1904, about twenty
years after the end Of the Rcvo-

riod between the war OF 1912 and
the Mexican war the pension eX-
penditure eliminated in 1916.
and thereafter decreased, with
fluctuations, from S7,SO0,O0O in
in 1916 to $l,SO0,000 In 1916.

war itself, the increase of pension
expenditure to its present stupen-
dous proportions is thus exhibit
