London, Oct. 1s.-The Marquis of Sails
bury telegrap hs to the Associated Press
from Hatfield House. Hertfordshire, say
ing there is absolutely no truth in the

probable.

Cotton Letter.


New York, Oct. 18.-In response to an
advance of 2 points in the English mar
kets, the local market opened steadier,
with prices 1 to 8 points in advance.
For time the improvement was main
tanned on light foreign and some new
local buying, but later cables Indicated
a change in sentiment abroad, and the
better feeling soon disappeared and a
weak undertone was apparent, with
prices showing a net loss of to 8 points,
a drop of to points from the best fig
ures of the early morning. The decline
in Liverpool was very effective in our
circles, and our market accordingly with
some heavy sellers showed considerable
weakness. The increase in the port re-
ceipts today, which were 10000 much
more than was looked for today, the
market subsequently became very weak
and dull The bear movement was
quite active and were good sellers of
the market around II and Is for Janua-
~. Latter there was some extensive
liquidation in December and January
and also March futures. Buyers were
scarce; Liverpool sold heavily and New
Orleans predicted heavy receipts for to-
morrow. Middling cotton in New York
today was 5-16;middling gulf, 11-16
After having such break in cotton
as we have had for the past week. it
seems that cotton should be good pur-
chase now. January cotton will sell
higher, as the receipts to date show a
decrease from last year. and spot cotton
was much higher last year even at the
same price for futures than this year.
Everything now has the appearance of
higher prices for cotton

New York Oct. 1S.-The cotton market

day this advance and more was lost and
very heavy selling orders were cabied

here was to points higher. From tie

emit. After the opening the market
started to decline and this tendency wa
maintained without appreciable reaction

bears. Receipts were heavy. january

with the tone of the market steady. w tn
little or no support, a small, short inter

up. SALE MAY GO ON.
Syndicate VIII Raise its Bid to the
Full Amount of the Debt.

Washington, Oct. 26.-The indications
now are that the government may yet
reconsider its determination to ask
Judge Sanborn for postponement of
the sale of the Union Pacific railroad.
No specific information on the subject
is at present obtainable but there are
reasons for the belief that the govern
ment has received or is in hourly ex-
pectation of receiving an additional
proposition from the reorganization
committee. This proposition is believ-
ed to be a very material increase in the
guarantee offer, provided the sale is
allowed to proceed on the date original
ly fixed upon. This increase it is re-
ported will make the committees guar
antee bid equal the full amount of the
governments claim against the Union
Pacific proper or about $5S, ,067, 1893. In
that event it is altogether probable that
the offer will be accepted and the sale
allowed to take place on the day first
agreed upon.
st. Paul. Mimi, Oct 26.-The matter
of a postponement sof the sale of the
Union Pacific that's was expected to
come up for action in the United States
circuit court today was not acted upon
but will come up on Thursday. Notice
that a motion for a pOstpOnement will
be made has already been given by
General John c. Gown of Omaha, spec
ial attorney for the government for the
case
The Topeka state journal., 1897-10-26

and made similar charges as he made to
the Milwaukee Mechanics; that affiant
has acted in good faith in this matter,
the same as he did in the other: that he
charged only for his services there and
his legitimate expenses and for his time
in going to and returning from Chicago"
The arguments in the case were not fin
fshed until s o'clock. Judge Foster will
probably decide the case tomorrow. At
the close of the hearing Judge Foster
said turning to Attorney General Boyle:
Il want to ask you one question. Do
you believe that Webb McNan actually
had a suspicion that the annual state
ment of the company was not correct?"
Why, it is self-evident, your honor"
said Mr. Boyle, taking the statement re-
ferred to and calling attention to some
property at Abilene which they are car
rying in their statement at $50, ,000 that is
not worth 5000.
In this case" said Mr.. Boyle, 'ft is
not a suspicion, but fact
will decide in favor of AIcNa& but in do
ing so he will express himself Oh the ex-
orbitant charges which he deems have
been made for the examinations.
1t is true that the insurance companies
had a legal protection i'll law, provided
they considered charges excessive, by re-
fusing to pay said charges on the ground
of their unreasonableness until the court
passed upon them. All the lawyers think
this would be the remedy of insurance
companies, and not restrictive or injunc-
tive proceedings.

ASLEEP IN A WINDOW.
Young Man From Junction City
in His First Hypnotic Sleep.

All day the south window of the To-
peka Cash Dry Goods company has at
tracted a large crowd of people curious
to see a man in a hypnotic sleep.
Last night at Crawford's Opera House
Santenelli, the hypnotist, placed Irving
Carmack of Junction City, in a so hours
sleep. He was taken to the window
that had been prepared for him. A
single white iron bedStead with pillow
and blankets was in waiting for him.
Carmack is attired in his underclOthes,
black stockings and a light cOiOred bath
robe. He is not covered by any bed
clothing and occasionally he moves in
his sleep. He is not in d rigid condition
but moves much the same as person
does in a natural sleep.
large crowd was collected about the
window this morning. The sleeper was
mOtiOnless, save the steady rise and
fall of his breast, caused by his heavy
breathing. An elderly woman was
standing with her face pressed against
the window and the crowd was maSSed
behind her. Suddenly the sleeper threw
up an arm and turned over. The -WOm-
an thought he was coming to- and
was frantic in her efforts to get away.
The sleeper brushed fly from his face
and continued to sleep.
Hes not asleep" said another Wom-
an, why, he's breathing
It's all a fake" said a black whisk-
cred individual, ''he is growing whisk-
ers.'
Carmack was the butt of many would
be wits, but he was oblivious to every
thing but the flies. Now and then he
would brush off fly, or roll over as if
in a troubled sleep.
He is not in sleep. They have given
him laudanUm," said a young man,
who, from his appearance, looked like
a medical student.
The crowd is always liberal in its
comments and if the sleeper could but
hear some of the remarks he would be
tempted to smile.
But little he'll rock if they'll let him
sleep on,
In the bed where Santeneln has laid
him.
Tonight he will be visited by Santen-
ELI, who will again suggest" to him
that he is to sleep until Wednesday
night. At that time he will be awaken
ed.
Carmack IS the son of the agent of
the Standard Oil company at Junction
City. He thought he would like to be
paid for sleeping and he asked Santen-
ELI just before he was leaving Junction
City to take him with him and let him
do the sleeping beauty" act. This is
his first experience.
It is claimed by hypnotists that a
man cannot continue to do the long
Sleep" as it is called, because during a
so hours sleep he is very apt to gain
from five to Is pounds.
I had one man in New York that
slept three days a week for four weeks
and after each sleep had to buy him
a new suit of clothes. I was forced to
discharge him. He grew too large"
