this feeling was the cause assigned for
the advance in Liverpool Our market

figures, May selling on the call at 6.96c
Large buying orders from Liverpool sent
prices further upward after the opening,
and May advanced 20 7.05c. Local real
izing caused a slight setback May de-
Ginning to 7.02c. but in the last hour the
feeling was cheerful, and May advanced
to 707c. The close was steady, with 705c

finally dispersed we expect higher prices

New York March S-The Sun says of
cotton to-day: The European news con
tinues to be the principal factor in the
speculation. Advices to-day regarding the
Cretan situation were more peaceful, and
had a decidedly favorable effect upon
sentiment here. Prices opened higher, adj
vanced steadily and closed at the highest
figure of the day. The trading, however,
was quiet and in the main of a local
character. but included some buying Tor
New Orleans and Liverpool account. The
receipts at the ports and interior towns
were comparatively large Spot cotton in
this country was quiet, and the estimates
for New Orleans and Houston tomorrow
were liberal, but the more reassuring adj
vices from Europe offset anything of
a bearish character in the situation. Then,
too, Liverpool rallied after an easier open
ing; some shorts were covered, but there
was no pressure to sell"

6tin Threatening Trouble in Hawaii
More Japanese Men-of-War Coming.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 7.-The steamer
Coptic arrived yesterday evening from
Honolulu, bringing advices up to May
81.
According to the latest information
procurable the difficulty between ia.
pan and Hawaii, growing out of the
Immigration question, has been in
creased, rather than diminished. by
the diplomatic proceedings. Officers
On board of the Japanese cruiser Nam
iwai, now at Honolulu, state that a
second Japanese man-of-war is now
en- route to Honolulu, and that a third
vessel is about to depart from Yoko-
hama for the islands.
Mrs. Shimamura, wife of the jap
anese minister here, has arranged to
leave for Japan on June 5. The in
tended departure caused a rumor in
Honolulu to the effect that the minis
ter would soon follow her. He ad-
mitted that he was not sent with the
answer of the Hawaiian government
in regard to the immigrant contro-
versy, and he gave close friends to
understand that unless q reply salts
factory ito him were made, he would
depart for Toxic, thereby severine
diplomatic relations between Japan
and Hawaii.

The fire started mysteriously in the
four story brick block owned by
Schroth & Nesterfeld and leased to
the Standard Biscuit Co. Work in the
factory ceased for the week at $50 Sat-
urday afternoon, and SO far as known
the only occupants of the building yes
day morning were John Erwin, the
book-keeper, and w. Cook, the cashier,
who were at work in the office. Cook
departed at II, and Erwin was still oc-
cupied with his books at noon when .
fireman rushed in, conveying the in
formation that the building was ablaze
in the upper stories Erwin had been
unconscious of the fire. which had been
observed but a few minutes earlier by
several passers-by, who were startled
by q sudden burst of flame in the fourth
story.
After the first alarm the fire chief
turned in second and general alarm.
A stiff breeze famed the fire within
the brick walls, causing it to develope
with extraordinary rapidity, and it
was soon apparent that the interior Of
the structure was doomed.
Adjacent to the brick factory was a
row of old wooden buildings, including
a branch of the Salvation army bar
racks and the southern police station.
These seemed doomed. Fortunately
the police station contained only three
prisoners, but the terrified yells and
appeals of the trio to be liberated
caused intense excitement among the
gathering crowds. They were trans
ferred as quickly as possible - the
central station.
Meanwhile, floor after floor of the
cracker factory fell in, rendering the
side walls unsafe. Then the east wall
of the factory toppled over and a wav-
ing sheet of flames spread over the
wide wooden area adjoining.
With the crash of the east wall oc-
CURED the tragedy of the coniagra-
Non. A score of iremen were on a
neighboring paint shop endeavoring
from that point to check the spread of
the flames. A falling timber struck
Fireman Mahony ON the leg,
breaking it. He refused to allow
his companions to carry him away in
their arms, insisting that he must be
borne away on a shutter. All but two
of the band of firemen ran to procure
shutter, and just as they left their in
iured comrade the wall fell, burying
beneath mass of brick and mortar
Mahony and his faithful friends. By
dint of much dangerous labor the three
bodies were recovered and sent with
police escort in as many wagons.
The loss to the brick building is es-
timated at $40, 600, with 500, 600 loss on
the contents, consisting of machinery
and stock. The damage to the Saliva
tion army barracks was $1,000 and to
the police station the damage was
great. The biscuit factory was ope-
rated by a corporation organized a.
year ago. which was transacting a
large business. The cause of the fire
is as vet unknown.
