Session.

New York, Aug. 26.-There have been
of Fall River at the quoted Fall River
rates, but these sales have not been
verified. There have been no sales of
regular cloths at Fall River during the
week, The market for odd goods has
been fairly active during the week, and
prices are on very firm basis, Locally
the cotton goods market shows no
change of moment. There is q fair de-
mand for brown goods for domestic con
sumption. Bleached cottons have been
sold during the week in considerable
amounts. and sellers are beginning to
doubt whether the stocks will be suffi-
cient to meet the demands of the later,
legitimate trade. There is a good mark.
ct for prints and remarkably well sus-
tanned demand for ginghams and woven
colored goods. The market for denims
and similar lines of coarse colored goods
has been advanced slightly and sales
have been quite heavy.
COTTON.
New York, Aug. &C.. The market for
cotton futures opened firm in tone with
prices 4 to 3 points higher following an
unexpected upturn of the Liverpool
market. Foreign houses were plentifully
supplied with buying orders, which, in
connection with hurry of local shorts
TO cover. added to the early stiffness.
The bull faction was ayerse to accumu-
lating additional lines, Notwithstanding
the favorable state of affairs specula-
lively, and before the end of the first
half hour the tendency of values was
slowly downward under a let up in out
side demand and profit taking sales of
Wall street houses. A drawback of no
small Importance to confident opera
ton on the bull side was the appear
ance of rain in several parts of the
cotton belt. The crop news, however,
was decidedly bullish, as has been the
case all the week.

The Aetna Life'S Encouragement
Life and Endowment Policy in /!
Competition. !;

These policies issued by the Aetna
enables its agents to offer strong
4 inducements to prospective insur-
ants in competition with those of
, other companies. Taking the aver [
age rate of ten leading companies
at an age of twenty-five on the
twenty payment life plan, we find
that the premiums average S92.63
I for a $4,000 policy, or S5,902.60
for the twenty years. The Act
: ua's fifteen-payment life, at the {
same age, costs S29a20, or S4,45S {
for the fifteen years, the difference I
in the premium for full term being
81, 493. 80, equal to a dividend of
80 per cent. on the annual pre- )
miums for the whole premium pc ;
riod after the first two years. The ;
! comparison corresponds with this :
! for other ages. The simple pre- I
! sentation of this comparison ought
} to be convincing argument when [
} clearly made, especially In view of
the fact that paid-up policies are
more favorable to the assured of !
the fifteen-year than on the TWEEN
tyyear plan. The large dividend
! paid by some of the companies
! has long been one of the strongest
claims made by them. Adividend [
of 80 per cent. deducted at the
beginning of the year has so much
to be said in its favor that the
Aetna seems clearly to be giving

GORMAN HAS THE DOCUMENT BY
THE THROAT
ITS FRIENDS POWERLESS
Extra Session of Congress May BE
Necessary Unless Conditional APP
preparation Is Made TO Pay Spain
$4,000, 0OO-Friends Of Treaty Will
not act Until Sure OF Ratification

Washington, Jan. 24.-The peace
treaty was not taken up in the senate
yesterday. Ahe status Of the treaty as
outlined by a member of the committee
on foreign relations, who favors ratifi-
rcation is: The opponents claim to
have 80 or 81 sure votes against the
treaty. If there is to be an extra ses-
sion the friends Of the treaty say that
they may as we'll take it over unreject-
ed by this session. They do not pro-
pose to bring it to a vote until they
are sure Of ratification. An extra ses-
sion, they say, will mean an extra ses-
sion Of the whole congress, unless a
conditional appropriation is made TO
pay Spain S20,000,000, or unless some
arrangement is made with Spain to eX-
! tend the time of the payment three
months. The United States, it is said,
would not like to make this request. 1t
| is believed that in view of the posi-
| bilities of an extra session unless the
treaty is ratified at this session the OPP
ponents will yield before adjournment
as very general desire is expressed
| to avoid an extra session.
Ratification of the treaty OF peace
now depends almost entirely on the
| personal ambition of democratic lead
ers. This fact is admitted on both
sides OF the senate. The. republican
| managers have been forced to fold
their arms and wait for the settlement
of the row among the democrats.
They are anxious to secure ratification
but are powerless to act in the face OF
| Germans schemes, and the counter
| plots of Bryan's followers. The SEN
ator from Maryland has undertaken to
/ form a combination to hold up the
treaty for the express purpose OF an
tagonizing Bryan's advice to ratify it
In the meantime Dick Croker is also
directing an attack on Bryan bg en-
couraging the expansion theory out
right in spite of Bryan's opposition K
it. Croker and German have com
bined to beat Bryan-one Of them BY
} showing he has no influence in the
!, senate and the other by putting him or
record against expansion. At The
; present time German unquestionabl!
J has the treaty by the throat.

THE TURK BEATEN.
Unable to Throw Farmer" Burns and
Jack Rooney IN 80 Minutes.

Chicago, Jan 14-Hali Adlai, the
Turk, lost his match with Farmer"
Burns and Jack Rooney last night The
conditions Of the match were for the
Turk to throw Burns and Rooney four
times in 80 minutes, catchas-catch
can. strangle hold barred, no flying
falls TO count, two shoulders down TO
constitute fall. 1t was arranged for
Rooney to be the first antagonist. The
Turk won the first bout by Rooney Civ
ing it up at the end of 80 minutes. In
the second the Turk downed Burns in
s minutes and % seconds. When
Rooney came on for the third bout he
began offensive operations by throw
ing Hall down amid the wild cheers OF
the crowd. The Turk turned on him
quickly and forced Rooney to the floor
his shoulders to the floor. The time
WAS two minutes and 40 seconds. The
total time was Al minutes and sec
ends. Burns then came into the ring
with IS minutes and SO seconds to stay
or fall TO win. Instead of coming in
close quarters the farmer" danced
around the Turk. Finally the Turk
made a sudden rush, got Burns by the
| legs and forced him down, brought him
Slowly over, and nearly had him, when
Burns made q quiet turn and got away
The Turk a second time got hold of
| Burns, but the latter managed to get
! away cleverly. Again the Turk
| downed him and Burns, after 10 min
utee on the mat during which the Turk
did little out bring his weight TO bear
on the smaller man, got to his feet
once more. With five minutes to spare
Hall made the work hot, but Burns
| was careful and the Turk could not
down him. Burns finally made rush
and got away amid wild excitement
The Turk could not catch him again
and they met at arms length in the
middle of the ring when time was
called and the Turk was beaten.

JUDGE SCORES A JURY.
He Says the Twelve Men Freed a
Guilty Bank Wrecker.

Evansville, Ind, Jan. 24.-In the cir
cult court here yesterday Judge Baker
on motion of United States District
Attornew Wishard, nolled the case
against Cashier Rosenkranz of the
wrecked first national bank Of Mt.
Vernon, Ind. The district attorney
declared has belief that ROsenkrans
was not guilty, but that Albert Waoe,
who was found not guilty by the jury
Saturday, was the one who wrecked
the bank. Judge Baker concurred in
this and made the sensational state
ment that the guilt of Wade was
proved by his own admissions on the
stand and that the jury was Influenced
by the wealth and influence behind the
man and declared him not guilty.
Judge Baker declared that such YER
diets as that in the Wade case are what
makes mob law in this country posi-
bic and creates dissatisfaction with
the administration Of justice.
