Cotton Letter

By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agt.
 Birmingham, February S.-Early cables showed recessions, but with good demand, and large sales. Our opening was at ad- vances of from 1 to points. and the early trading showed good strength and fair in- terest. Realizing sales caused losses all along the line from to points, but good support was met at the declines and prices rallied at the close to the best figures of the day.
 The immediate influence is the cold wea h. CT, the bad roads and the decreasing re- ceipts. The strong financial conditions and ease of money was a powerful factor and we do not think purchases around these prices will prove a bad investment.

Trial Trip Satisfactory.

Lewis. Del. Aug. 31.-The builders
trial trip of the battleship Alabama re-
suited in the development OF maxi
mum speed of 17A knots. On the first
run the Alabama, under 1854 revolu-
tions per second, averaged 1926 knots
per hour over a course OF 1134 knots.
She steamed over the course twice in q
moderate sea, half way against the
wind. On the second run, under forced
draught, 1141a revolutions per second,
the average speed was 1888, and on this
run the Alabama attained q maximum
of Tx, or TX knots above the required
|16 knots. The trial will be made in open
sea and in shoal water between the
northwest and southeast five fathom
flights.
The wind was from the northeast
about thirty miles an hour. The trial

LOOK for Hot Cempaign.

Washington, Aug. 31.-John r. Nc
Leans nomination for governor Of Ohio,
While generally expected, has caused a
good deal of comment among politicians
here. where he is we'll known. His can
didacy on an antitrust platform has
caused broad smile, owing to Mr.. Nc
Leans ownership of the Washington
Gas Company, corporation whose I'M
brtdled monopoly and general defiance
of the interests of the people Is q mat
ter of general knowledge
Yet the republican leaders figure out
that Mclean will make "a spectacular
canvass in Ohio. 1t is generally under
stood that he is ready to sign checks up
to an aggregate of s250,000, and this, in
connection with the admitted republic
an factional disputes, is taken to mean
a hammer and tongs campaign from
now until election day.
Most of the republican leaders say
that while Mclean might succeed on a
mere antitrust plank he will certainly
be defeated on the anti-expansion
plank.
The sentiment in Ohio, as elsewhere.
lit is said by officials who have studied
their districts, is one of dissatisfaction
because the Philippine war has not
been prosecuted vigorously enough,
which is the exact reverse of anti
|expansion sentiment.
Hence the republican leaders assume
that even McLean's money will not be
able to overcome the tendency of the
people to support the administration in
first securing peace and then establish
ing government under the stars and

Murdered for Money.

Whitehall, H.. Aug. 31.-shortly after
noon yesterday a robber attacked A. j.
Allen, employed at the Burlington res
ervoir, two and onehalf miles north of
this city, and secured what money he
had on his person.
Brakeman Terry, of a local freight,
noticed the apparently lifeless body ly-
ing in the doorway, and at the Louisi-
ana crossing three young men were sent
back to investigate.
1t was evident that Allen was in the
act of scooping coal into the furnace
when bounced upon by the robber, whe
struck him on the top Of the head with
coal hammer, fracturing the skull an6
making his escape.
Aliens body was brought to town b,
section men, where all efforts to arouse
consciousness failed, and he died at II
o'clock last night without uttering {
word.

BANKRUPT LAW WISE.
The committee on commercial law re-
ported the following conclusions:
/. That a bankrupt law is wise and
beneficent legislation.
2. That the general features of the
present bankrupt law should have the
approval and support of the bar and the
commercial community.
8. That whatever amendments are
made To the provisions of the law relat-
ing to voluntary Bankruptcy should be
IN the line of better protection to the
creditors against fraud in the bank
ruptcy proceedings.
4. That amendments to the provisions
of the law relating to involuntary bank
ruptcy should be along the lines of a
better remedy for the creditor for fraud,
actual or contemplated. on the part of
the debtor previous to the Institution of
bankruptcy proceedings.
/ s.. That the ideal bankrupt law is one
that

:. TUE LATE ISAAC H. BAILEY
To the Editor Of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
May add few words to the notice of
the death of Isaac H. Bailey, ESQ. in
your columns of the 27th instant, by way
of emphasizing n quality of his all too
rare In these DAYS Of multiplicity Of
duties; namely his talent for friendship
and his devotion to those he esteemed.
Upon his visits east, no matter how
wearied or how far from well, nothing
was allowed to interfere with his visits to
his friends.
The clubs of which he was member
indicate his genial tastes and literary
bent. Who will forget his menorizing
page after page Of Dickens and the zest
with which he reproduced the same! AL
SO, the graceful pen he always welded.
The wit Of the New England ESociety
banquet was dear to his heart and he took
pleasure In mailing copies of its after
dinner speeches to an audience at dis.
tance from New York.
| The.present writer last met Mr.. Bailey
at luncheon at the old Thomas home,
corner of Danforth and state streets
| when he was full OF vlvacity and good
cheer.
Many friends will miss his cordial greet
| ing. Much that is kindly and apprecia-
| tive will be said of him, hut these few
words are but to recognize the sort of
nature that once loving a little enid
never forgot the affection. or once having
made friend failed TO realize that life s
sweetest memories are woven out of con
sideration and allegiance to early ties.
80 young was Mr.. Bailey in his feelings
no one ever tho light OF him as of advs nc ID
| age.
"Ihen, where my feet no longer tread
old paths

such things look fairer that he sojourneu
