COTTON.
New York. Oct. 1S.-Thc influences
reaching the cotton market today were
generally against the holders of the
staple In the first place the movement
of new cotton at the ports was of bur
densomc proportions, while heavy fore
casts. lis to the movement for the week
at the interior towns emphasized this
feature. AT the same time cable adj
vices from Liverpool were of bearish
purport. The withdrawal of speculative
support was another drawback, while
spot buyers in the various markets of
the South were also reported to be
showing Il retreating relation to the
STABLE These were conditions which led
to an easy opening of our market this
morning ut decline of , to ; points; a
subsequent loss of five to seven points
further followed liquidation and pound
ing by the bears. Later however, there
was partial rally, on which prices gain
ed 3 to 4 points on a disposition to take
profits with some investment buying, on
claims of killing frost at numerous
points in the South In the afternoon
the market was notably steadier, official
forecasts pointing to still colder weather
in the cotton belt, particularly in the
Atlantic and Central States. Trading,
taking the day as Il whole, was only
moderately active. The market was
finally steady at Il net loss of to Z
points.

ber of the Indian Home Guards. He
served until the close of the war, when
he returned home and mt once became
the acknowledged leader of what was
known as the Loyal Creek party, which
was the name given to those Greek In
dlans who refused to join the Confed-
eraey. After his return home, Ispar-
hecher was elected as Judge of one of
the district courts of the Creek Nation
and held the position until 1883, when
Sam Checotah, one of his bitterest enc
mics, was elected chief of the Creek
Nation, and Isparhecher was removed
from office. He believed that he had
been unjustly dealt with, and, gather
Ing his forces, he attempted the over
throw of the Creek government. At the
head Of about 500 men, with the Stars
and Stripes as their banner, he
marched through the Creek Nation, and
but for the timely intervention of the
United States troops, would doubtless
have taken possession Of the capital of
the nation. This insurrection is known
throughout the Greek Nation as the
'Isparhecher War" Soon after this
war Isparhecher was elected as chief
justice of the Supreme Court Of the
Creek Nation, which position he held
until he was elected chief of the ma
tlon in 1895, over the combined opposi-
ton of the Porter and Perryman par
ties. He is strictly honest and has 'un-
earthed a number of frauds In the
Greek Nation since he was elected
chief
Isparhecher is six feet tall and
weighs about 200 pounds. He knows
nothing of the English language. His
home Is situated twenty miles west OF
Okmulgee, and is located between two
mountains, three-quarters of mile off
the main road. He has no children and
lives with his wife, full-blooded
Creek Indian, in little box house lax
16 feet, with small shed-room In the
back and porch in front. His hum.
bic dwelling is inclosed with rail
fence and the yard is adorned with a
few cedar trees. There in his humble
way he entertalns his friends in true

was defeated by them.

young Armenian who escaped only a
few months ago from Turkey after wit
Messing the most horrible massacre.
He is about twenty-six years of age and
is at present studying in college in up
per East Tennessee. At the time of the
massacre he was studying photography in
university in Constantinople, and was
only saved because he had OIL a Turkish
costume. He saw seven hundred of his
people butchered and walked through
blood two inches deep. He got out of
Turkey as soon as possible, but with great
difficulty and many narrow escapes. He
came through France and thence went to
England, and to-day his shoes may be
seen in the British museum all clotted
with human blood. He stayed in Eng
land only short time, coming at once
to America.
He is most interesting person, speaks
four languages, English, Turkish, Armen-
ian and Greek and when spoken to about
the Cuban affair he said he had great
sympathy for them. He was shown all

CONJECTURE AS TO TERMS.

Naturally the plea Of Spain to open ne
gotiations opens up wide field Of con-
lecture on what the terms of peace will be.
Thus far is no official warrant for saving
what terms SPAN will propose or what
terms the United States will offer or ac-
cept. So far as this country is concerned,
it is the general impression that the COM
plete Spanish evacuation Of Cuba and
Porto Rico will be insisted upon as a sine
qua non. There is not the same certainty
as to the Philippines, Ladrones and Car
olines, although the belief is growing that
the terms of the United States will include
coaling stations in these groups.
On the part of Spain, it is believed that
Spain has not reached realization Of her
misfortune that she will readily consent
to the terms for the evacuation of Cuba
and probably Porto Rico. The Spanish
desire is apparently very strong for the
retention of the Philippines, although
there is little doubt that coaling stations
there and at other points would be con-
eeded. The matter of war indemnity is
for future consideration although there does
not appear to be disposition among the
officials here to pile up a heavy war in
demnity against Spain in her present help
less condition.

The retention by this Government of a
cOaling station in the Philippine Islands,

written apparently under misapprehen-

the campaign and the dictation Of the
terms of surrender. General Miles was
here simply as visitor and advisor, In
his official capacity, he had nothing to do
with the terms of the capitulation, the en-

"Dear General Gordon-Your recent
telegram in behalf of the United Confed-
crate Veterans was very welcome and
would have written to you before in ac-
acknowledgement excepting for the unusual
demands upon my time.
''The present war has certainly served
one very useful purpose in completely
obliterating the sectional lines drawn in

tons call to arms has been equally spon-
taneous and patriotic in all parts Of the
country.
VETERANS of the gray as well as of the
blue are now fighting side by side win

brave deeds and the unequaled triumphs of
our army and navy have received the
gratitude of the people of the United
States.

from yourself and your colleagues of the
work of this Administrations the con-
duct Of the war, and the pledge of what
ever support may be needed to help in
bringing tito successful completion, is
indeed most gratifying, and thank you

She Sees 1t is a Hopeless
Fight,
TERMS YET AMATTER OF CONJECTURE,
President Mckinley and His Cabinet
Have Consultation.

Washington, July 26.-The Spanish
government has sued for peace, not indi'
rectly through the great powers of Eu-
rope, but by direct appeal to President
Mckinley The proposition was formally
submitted to the President at three O'Clock
this afternoon by the French Ambassador,
NJ. Jules Cambon, who had received in
structions from the foreign Office at Paris
Mo deliver to the United States govern
ment the tender of peace formulated by
the Spanish ministry.
At the conclusion of the conference be-
tween the President and the French am
bassador, the following official statement
was issued from the White House:
''The French Ambassador, on behalf Of
the government of Spain and by dTec-
ton of the Spanish Minister of Foreign
Affairs, presented this afternoon at the
White House message from the Spanish
government looking to the termination of
the war and the settlement of terms of
peace"
This was the only official statement
made public, but it sufliced to put at rest
all conjecture and to make clear and def
mite that at least Spain has taken the ini-
tiative toward peace.

A series of articles on village life is be-
gun in the August Ladies Home Journal
under the heading, "The Twentieth Cen
tury Village" Writers who have made
study of the smaller communities will
contribute the articles, so that they will be
entirely practical. All the conditions of
village life, and the adjuncts that serve to
bring the village in closer touch with mod
ern improvement and development, are
treated in practical detail, and the articles
will doubtless be most useful to people llv-
ing in the smaller towns and Villages
