Paine, Murphy i Co.'s Cotton Letter.
Savannah, Sept. 30.-A rather better
feeling has been apparent in the cot
ton market today, Prices at the open
ing received a slight stimulus from
the favorable character of the Liver
pool advices, reporting a steadier tone
to that market at slight advance in
quotations. Initial prices have shown
an improvement of from three to four
points, but prices did not follow yes
terday's course, owing to the fact that
there has been an absence of the SELL
ing pressure which has been in evil
dence for several days past.

Savannah, Sept. 30.-The wheat
trade today has been nervous with no
important features, the bulk of the
business being of scalping nature.
The fact that the last day No. spring
wheat can be delivered on Chicago
contracts has passed, created quite a
weakness in September, which at one
time produced a weakness in Decem-

Prices.

Washington, Sept. 30.-President
Mckinley and party arrived in Wash
ington at 10 O'Clock this morning over
the Pennsylvania road, The return
trip was made without incident. A
crowd gathered at the station to wit
ness the homecoming.
Mr.. Mckinley had hardly reached
the mansion before Secretary Of State
Sherman appeared and held brief
consultation with him, presumably in
reference to the fall of the Spanish
cabinet.
Minister Woodford up to noon to-
day had not informed the state de-
partment of the Spanish cabinet crisis
and the department is still officially
ignorant of yesterdays happenings at
Madrid.
The main point OF interest here is
the formation of the new cabinet and
1t is expected that Mr.. Woodford will
not neglect to cable the earliest posi-
BILE information on that subject. In
administration CIRCLES opinions are
evenly divided as to whether the
new cabinet will be liberal or conser-
yative and it is asserted that it is a
matter of grave Importance to our
government because of its influence on
the policy to be pursued by this gov.
ernment.
The president had scarcely reached
the whitehouse this morning before
Secretary Sherman called TO see him.
He was closely followed by Assistant
Secretary Day,
HARD TIMES IN CUBA.
Havana, Sept. 3O.-Operations in
four western provinces have abso-
luteIy suspended during the past four
days on account of a severe storm that
has swept over this end of the island
In the suburbs of Havana nearly 20
persons were drowned by floods and
in the country districts many lives
and much property were lost. General
Weyler cannot move column. In ad-
dltion to the misery caused by the
floods all but the wealthier classes
suffer from a scarcity of food. Beef
costs 81 a pound and other meats are
in proportion. Vegetables and bread
can be obtained in the market only
once a week. Milk is 50 cents a quart.
BASIS OF SETTLEMENT.
London, Sept. 30.-A dispatch from
Madrid says rumor prevails there to
the effect that an important commun-
ication has been received by the Span
ish government from the leaders of the
Cuban insurgents suggesting basis
of probable settlement Of Cuban diff
culties.

Two New Cases at Edwards Authorities
at New Orleans Preparing for
More Patients.

New Orleans, Sept. 3O.-The author
tiles today are busily engaged making
arrangements for moving more pa
tients into the yellow fever hospital
on Canal street. There are more than
dozen patients there now and sew
eral others were moved in today. The
doctors in charge reported this MORN
ing that the man, Pierre Bourblanc,
who died last night and whose death
was not included In the official report,
had been brought to the hospital yes
terday in a moribund condition.
There was then no hope for his recov-
cry. DIR. Archinard reported to the
board that he had found a very suspi-
cious case on Social street Of q boy
who has been at the detention camp
and who had been taken ill. The
apartment house in which he was
found was filled with Turks and other
foreigners, who are in an ugly mood
and badly frightened. An extra force
was sent to take care of these people
and to quarantine the premises.
Business here has gone to smash,
owing to the number of trains taken
off and the fact that the prejudices of
the people in The country towns are
pitched so high that they will not
even receive thoroughly disinfected
letters.
Miss Annie Hughes died at Biloxi,
Miss, of yellow fever this morning,
She came from Illinois. James Gray
died in New Orleans early this morn

CLINTON CATCHES.
Jackson, Miss, Sept. 30.-The state
board of health has just received tel.
egram from Clinton, ten miles west of
here, midway between this city and
Edwards, acknowledging that there
are seven cases of yellow fever at that
place. The managers of the Illinois
Central railroad are arranging to run
a special train to Mount Raven, two
miles from Clinton, in order to carry
north those who desire to go.
EDWARDS REPORT.
Edwards, Miss, Sept. 3O.-Dr. Dunn,
of the state board of health, gives the
associated press the following infor-
nation: "Up to 10 O'Clock this morn

GOLD CERTIFICATES.
The Treasury Department Considering Their
Anvisability.

New York. Sept. 30.-There is some
talk in banking circles of the possibil-
ity of the treasury department issuing
gold certificates now that gold is pill
ing up in the vaults and currency is
decreasing.
The discussion is chiefly due to a
dispatch received in Wall street to the
effect that recently there has been
some formal discussion between the
treasury officials on the subject of the
desirability of this course. :

COURT DAY IN EARLY KANSAS.
How a Mild-Mannered Sheriff In
duced Spectators to Disarm.

In the early days of Kansas, when
the state was divided into nine dis
tricts instead of 90, Judge William
Brown presided over the Ninth judicial
district, which took in all the territory
from Marion county to Colorado on the
west and the Indian territory on the
south. The judges district was bigger
than the state of Massachusetts, and, be-
sides calling for several thousand miles
of travel by stage every year, it en-
braced some wild and woolly territory.
When he arrived at Medicine Lodge tc
hold his first term, he found each jury
man with belt full of cartridges en-
circling his waist, and at least one large
"a" slung from his hip. The litigants
and spectators were attired in the same
manner, and to Judge Brown, who is
emphatically a man of peace, the pros
pect seemed uncomfortably warlike.
He mildly suggested to the sheriff that
he persuade the crowdlto lay aside their
arms during the sitting of the court.
The sheriff, well-known character by
the name of Reuben Lake, was noted
for his plain speaking and profanity.
''Now, sheriff." said the Judge, with
mild look through his spectacles, 81
wish you would suggest to these gentle
men who are jurors, and others who |
have business in court, that it would |
perhaps be better If they would remove
their pistols temporarily. Be careful
not to say anything that might offend,
sheriff, but just make nice, polite re-
quest, you know"
"All right, judge" said Reube. "rn
do just as you say" and jumping upon
a chair, he shouted: "Hear We, hear We,
the honorable district court of Barber
county is now in session. All of you
blank blanks who have any
business in this court wilD take off them
guns, pile 'em up back there by the door
ind come to the front. "-Kansas City

The Klondyke Gold Fields.
Our special correspondent who went by
air ship0
DAWSON CRY, July ls, 1897.
EDITOR GUERNSEY


No summer girl here displays
The latest Partisan styles,
Nor captivates manly hearts
BY saucy, bewitching smiles.
And as we now do remark
About this gold field klOndyke,
We never up here can see
A bloomer girl on her bike"
1t is my opinion you will be sur
prised to learn am up here in the
newly discovered gold fields. Last
spring when Prof. Herr Ahdree was
experimenting with his air ship which
was seen in various parts of the coun-
try, came to me one night and told me
he was intending to start for Klondyke
the next morning. So l, being out of
employment, told him little urging
on his part might gain my consent to
go with him. So he urged.
We had an uneventful passage and
reached here three days ago, much to
the amazement of the inhabitants of
Dawson City, where we landed. Daw-
son City is now flourishing city of
$500 people. The houses being built
more for comfort than for beauty, do
not appear very imposing, but are very
well adapted to this peculiar climate,
for here the thermometer ranges from
93o above zero in the summer to 93o be-
low in winter. AT present it is very
warm, so in the shade ct o'clock in
the morning. The mosquitoes are very
troublesome and are of enormous size.
Some are as large as full grown eagles
and much more ferOcious. They can
not be killed by ordinary means, but
must be slain with rifles or by attach
ing stick of giant powder to their
tails and lighting the fuse. My great
est objection to this place is the lack
of reading matter. Not a book or pa.
per in camp. The only bit of litera-
ture in town is copy Of the Delinea-
tor. We have to depend on that fol
amusement, and last night at meet
ing of the Mems Ladies' Columbian
Club" A. f. Armstrong arose and re,
cited very touching selection begin
ming: "Knit 4, drop l, knit g." etc
1t brought tears to the eyes of many Of
the audience. I have not done much
in the gold mining line yet, as the croI
is not yet ready for harvest. Yol
know gold grows wild here. The dust
grows on trees that bears colder
hued fruit somewhat resembling the
orange, but having hard, brittle skin
When ripened the fruit is picked ant
cracked with peculiar instrument
called the Kozee. The interior of tht
fruit contains five sections, each sec
tion containing about a quarter of Al
ounce of the precious metal. The mug
gets grow under ground about til,
same as potatoes and are about tn,
same size, and their value about tn,
same. The crop this season promise
to be very large, and no doubt every
one here will have lots of gold befor,
the season is over. You have no ide,
how quickly fortunes are made here
For instance, yesterday, McC Closky, Q
r~~~icane Gulch, came down witt
: aust that he had gathere'

ported here that Lyman Gage is about
to resign his position in Washington
and take up claim near Dawson City.
While I am writing this miner
came along with dozen of eggs. I
asked him what he had to pay for eggs?
He said, "$1.5o per dozen better eggs
$500 per Dozen"
would like to write more about the
wonders of this section but have got
to irrigate my gold trees. Will write
