This settles the Row.

Washington, Feb. IA cable
gram was received here by the see
retary of state tonight from Wood
ford, announcing that Spain had
disavOwed the De LONE letter.
The Disclaimer, as the ad-
ministration officers call it, is re-
garded as satisfactory. The presi-
dent promptly announced that the
incident is closed.
De LONE leaves tomorrow for
New York. He sails for Liverpool
Wednesday. His personal effects
are to be sold at auction in New
York.

Withdrawing from market. Our
market to down and soon lost 4
more on selling by longs. Just after
noon call sharp ralley occurred
and the early decline was gained be-
fore the close, due to new buying
and shorts covering. Liverpool
should be 2 to higher tomorrow TO
fully respond to our advance. We
think il will be disappointing. The
movement yet continues enormous,
port receipts today being 80 ,314 as
against 1851 in 1895. The spot
market opened weak and lower with
factors anxious to sell, but in after
noon steadied up some. The de-
mand from exporters has subsidized
and advices from Manchester are to
the effect that spinners are well
filled mp. The interior continues to
offer cotton freely at concessions.
The semi-weekly movement tomor-
row promises to be again very large
and we believe will cause q lower
market. We still advise our friends
to sell on every rally, such as today,
and we have little faith in the bull
1ide at present.

SENATOR JONES TALKS.
lakes Issue With Chairman Bab- cock of the Republican
 Committee.

Washington, Nov. l9.-Sen- ator Jones was sufficiently re- covered from the heavy cold that had beset him lately to 20 over to New York Monday :. The senators trip Is to attend to senate committee business prior to the assembly.
 The New York Sun publish ed the following interview with the senator last Tuesday morn ing:
 Senator Jones was asked by a reporter what he thought of the statement telegrapbed from Washington by Chairman Babcock of the Republican con- gressional campaign mittee to the effect that free silver as a political issue had received its death blow. Senator Jones said:
 That statement is false and without foundation, and every sane man knows it. As mat ter of fact the free silver issue is stronger than ever before. It is easy to see through the beating of tom toms by the Re publicans to show that silver is dead. The wish IS father of the thought The Republican victory in the congressional elections was due more 10 the general military spirit and pride of the people Tn the war than 2 specific endorsement of the President. <"
 Speak ing of Mir Croker's Chicago intervi ew, in which he was quoted as saying that the Democracy should conduct its battles iii the future on a plat form attacking trusts, Senator Jones said:
 If Mr. Croker expects to be- come a factor in national poll tics he should get himself in line with the declared policy of his party.

CHAS. F. FOWLER FREE.
Jury Declares Him Not Guilty of EmbezzIement.
 l.. R. Gazette.

A verdict of "not guilty" was returned by the jury that tried Chas. F. Fowler, eX grand keeper of records and seals for the grand lodge, Knights of Pythias of Arkansas. The verdict was returned at II a. m. yesterday in Judge Lea's court after the jury had been out about eighteen hours Fowler was charged with en- bezzling funds of the grand lodge to the amount of $2,3OO.
 What the jury hesitated so long about is understood to have been the question of in- tent. In order to fix guilt it must have been proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the money was embedded with fraudulent and felonious ln- tent" Judge Lea told the jury that there was no way of judging persons intent save by the acts of that person and incidental circumstances sur rounding the case. It is stated that at one time the jury stood ' to , in favor of conviction and that the jurors had a warm time discussing the case. At any rate Fowler has been vim dicated and the result is a tri- bute to the skillful defense put up by his counsel, Col. Geo. w. Murphy and Mr. Lewis Rhoton.

He Died Hard.
Exchange. l

"That ad is dead" said the foreman. "Throw 1t in."
 But it was not dead. It could not die until the last copy of the paper containing it had been destroyed. Even then the advertisement might be kept alive by word or mouth. The advertiser who lets all his contracts expire is wrong if he imagines that his advertisements have ceased to "pull." They may indeed have failed to bring in business enough to pay the gas bill but they are far from dead.
 Fourteen or fifteen years ago a bright young man opened book store in Harlem. He put a small advertisement in a magazine. To this day he sometimes hears from that ad. vertisement, although he ran it only few times and has been out of the book business since 1892.
 The Scranton (Pa) Republi- can tells of a medicine man who advertises to cure certain diseases. One day a woman came to him for treatment and got $15O worth of it. The doctor asked her how she had heard of him, and she said her husband, when taking up an old carpet in Buffalo, had found beneath it an old news paper, in which he saw the doctors advertisement.
 There is no telling how long an advertisement will live.

 After the first of December, the city authorities will dis continue the street electric light service all over the town of Rogers with the exception of First street. At the corner of First and Walnut streets, at the corner on which the Bank of Rogers is located. and at the corner where Jones Hotel is located, will be placed large arc electric lights. The poles for these lights were placed in position this week. This will give First street splendid lighting facilities, but is going to be awful rough on the rest of the town. The Methodist church has made ar engagements to pay for the light on their corner by private sub scrlptlon. and it is quite prob able that a number of othe r lights in the city will be con- tinued by the same method The authorities have decided upon this move because the private bank account of the town is too lean to pay for the electric lights any longer. All of our people greatly regret that this is necessary, but they do not see the way clear just now for anything else. Lanterns will now ,ake q boom and moonlight nights will be great ly in demand. When these fail us, we will have to stay at home Rogers Democrat.
