Cotton Letter

New York April 2-The cototn market to- day more than lost yesterdays improve ment in prices The Liverpool report was unchanged this morning, but the flood news continued of a disturbing nature, and the opening here was at an advance of 1 point. May selling on the first call at TOP. The trading was quiet for most of the day, and in spite of some selling for Liverpool the market was very steady. In the afternoon the south sent selling orders for fall months and prices decl!nel several points. The bears in the absence of much outside business did what they could to assist the decline. The market closed quiet with 6.97 bid for May. Receipts were light; spot cotton con tinues to find ready buyers, and though prices may Bag little we see no signs of a serious decline. RIORDAN &. co.

DIPLOMATIC COMPLICATIONS.
Troubles of New Yorker With the
German Army.

Berlin, July 30.-Ambasador White is
giving close attention to a matter
which promises to involve some diplo-
matte complications.
1t is the case of Alfred Wessling, son
of a naturalized American citi-
zen, Charles Wessling of New York
Young Wessling, while visiting Ger
many last spring, was drafted into the
German army. He protested and proved
that he had made a formal declaration
of his intention to become a citizen of
the United States, although his natur-
alization had not been perfected.
His protest was absolutely ignored,
and he was enrolled in the Seventy
fourth regiment, stationed in Hanover
Recently, for petty offense of chatting,
he was struck a violent blow by a ser
geant. Enraged by the injustice, young
Wessling felled his tormentor to the
ground and fed. Late at night he
reached the United States consulate in
the city of Hanover, completely tagged
out and half starved. United States
Consul Crane persuaded him to sur
render to the authorities. and he is
now awaiting trial on charge of as
saulting his superior.
This offense is punishable in war
times by summary execution, and in
times of peace by several years i'm
Drisonment. Ambassador White is en-
deavoring 10 secure his release.

London, July 30.-John w. Foster, the
United States special commissioner on
the sealing question. viii sail for New
York by the st. Louis from Southamp-
ton. In the course of an interview with
the correspondent of the Associated
Press today. Mr.. Foster said:
wherever I have been, at St. Peters
burg, Berlin, Paris or here in London,
I have been received in the most cordial
manner. Whatever may be the feel
ing in the United States anent the re-
ported antagonism to our government
displayed by foreign powers, 1 have
seen nothing of 1t.
Everywhere I have had evidence
that the foreign governments wish to
meet any question raised by the United
States in the spirit of the most frank
and openmindedness. Perhaps it is
needless for me to say that this is most
gratifying 10 me officially and in my
private capacity.
The British government has agreed
to accept our proposition for a sealing
conference. l am now returning TO
make an immediate report to President
Mckinley. l have had long and fairly
candid conferences with Mr.. Chamber
lain, and last Sunday I passed the day
ney general, who is the advisor of the
British government on the points of
law involved. My statements met with
the frankest and most impartial con-
sideration.
AS TO the Hawaiian question, I may
say that in London, Paris, Berlin and
st. Petersburg, I have had ample cp-
portunity to ascertain the prevailing
sentiment in political and commercial
circles. In all these capitals annexa-
ton is generally regarded as the nat
ural, if not inevitable result of the
large growth and expansion of the
United States on the western coast Of
America.
''As it is not been expected con-
tinued Mr.. Foster, that any other for
eign power would be permitted to oc-
cupy the islands, owing TO their STRAIT
egic Importance, the proposed annexa-
ton must be acquieSced in by the Eu-
lCpean governments, the position which
it would give the United States in the
Pacific would not be welcomed by ma
tons seeking supremacy in that quar-
ter of the world.
My personal views on this question
are well known in the United States.
Nevertheless it is extremely gratifying
that the necessary expansion of the
United States will not be the cause of
European difficulties and is appreci-
ated as the logical outcome of Ameri-
can destiny

Was Repulsed.

Simla, July SO.-A dispatch from
Camp Malakand reports another night
attack by the tribesmen last night
CThursday) The natives fought des-
perately for several hours, but were
repulsed at all points. Bonfires had
been lighted around the camp, and in
the glare the tribesrnen were easy tar
gets for the British rif1emen. Many
fell, and in the light of the flames the
natives could be seen removing their
dead.
1t is reported that the mullah was
badly wounded and that several of his
principal chiefs were disabled The
British lost one killed and II wounded.
among the latter being Lieutenant
Costello. who was wounded the second
time. He had received a slight wound
during the day attack on Wednesday
The forces CT the mullah had been
augmented by a strong gathering of
the natives on the hills to the right of
the British position. The theory is
that the Bonerwals have risen.
The situation is now somewhat re-
heved by the arrival of reinforce
ments under Colonel Reed from New

GREco-TURKIsH TREATY.
Thessally Will Be Evacuated When
Indemnity Is Paid.

Paris, July SO-A dispatch to the
Temps from Constantinople says that
the signing of the preliminaries of
peace awaits only the reply of the
Greek government fixing the dates for
the payment of indemnity. Besides pro-
viding for rectifcation of the frontier.
in accordance with the plans of the
European military attaches, and for an
indemnity of 100000, the treaty di-
reefs that a mixed commission of dele
gates of the powers and Of Turkey fix
the compensation due Ottoman subjects
for losses through the war.
The question of the capitulation is
left to be settled by Greece and Tur-
key before the conclusion of definite
peace. The evacuation of Thessaly is
made conditional upon the full dis
charge of the indemnity.
AS soon as the treaty is signed, says
the Temps correspondent, the European
military attaches and members of the
Ottoman staff in Thessaly will meet
there to deliminate the frontier.
