MORE ACTIVITY IN COTTON MARKET Immediate Pressure Was Bril-

RESULTED IN A DECLINE

New York, June 2o.-Efforts to liquida- ton in long accounts made the cotton mar ket more active and resulted in decline, apparently at the weakest interval, of to points compared with yesterdays clos ing figures. The immediate pressure was the brilliant crop prospects, reported too generally to be disregarded even by the most stalwart bulls. The market opened with prices unchanged to 0 point lower, but immediately developed pronounced weakness under a pressure of long cot ton, the selling movement being acceler- ated by unsuccessful cables, notably of noderating sales of spot cotton at Liver pool, which meant more to the traders here than the 1G2 net decline in futures in the English market. There was some buying on the belief that manufacturers abroad as well as at home will De obliged to take in large quantities of stocks. The volume of business today was much larger than for some time past. The market closed steady, to points net lower.

REPORT ON oKLAHoMA's AFFAIRS.
PRINCIPAL Offices of Territory Badly
Mismanuged.

GUTHRIE. o. T., March 9.-The special
committee which has been conducting a
legislative investigation of territorial al
fairs made its report to the senate today
The committee finds much to criticise IN
the management of the principal offices OF
the territory, but makes no charges of gross
fraud.
The committee reported that the funds
arising from the leasing Of school lands had
been deposited by the governor to suit his
convenience but that the very effort to de-
termine whether the governor received a
commission on bonds so deposited had
failed, the bankers refusing to tell
The management of the territorial library
was condemned and the charge made that
Librarian Dodson did not attend to the
duties of the office, but hired girl at a
much less salary than he receives.
The public printing contracts were de-
nounced as gross steals, given at out
rageously high prices"
During the years 1897 and 1888 $4,000
was paid for state printing.
Several territorial officials are charged
with having drawn money to which they
were not entitled, though perhaps not in
violation Of the law. Attorney General
Cunningham is accused of having studied
to find flaws in the laws, so that a fragrant
misuse of public moneys could be excused.
The committee recommended the forward
ing of the findings to President Mckinley.

LONDON. March 9,-lNew York World
| Cablegram-Sp Telegram) THE Daily
Chronicle publishes an interview with Mon
signor ireland az his presentation at Rome.
He aCceded to a request for an interview
because it would afford him an opportunity
of dispelling a wrong view and giving in a
nutshell maNims which he considered es-
sential TO the human working of Gods
church on earth. He said:
Let me begin by discounecting the new
word Heckerism. l know Father Hecker
well, and fke other great minds he had GER
tain views which began and ended with
himself. One of these was the direct inspira-
tion by the Holy Ghost of individuals. This
apparently daring doctrine really means
little more than that Cody help is not
wanting to those who display the Initiative
frequently told him that he was ambigu-
GUS and would undoubtedly be misunder-
stood. This has come to pass. To come to
more important matters we have undoubt-
edly laid great stress upon natural virtues
We maintain, especially in the case of the
clergy, that temperance and love OF truth,
for instance, are so necessary that they
cannot be replaced by any purely devotional
fidelity. A priest of Incorporate habits has
sterilized his mission. priest who stretches
personal casuistry to prevarication and
mental reserve is only justifying the enc
mics of the church in afiirmations which
Though false are heard far and wide"
Asked as to whether he was inimical to
religious orders the archbishop promptly
answered that this was an utterly ground
less charge. What he objected to was pa
rochial or educational entertainments of the
regular upon the secular clergy. THE episco-
pacy and its subhierarchy were the real
foundation of ecclesiastical work. The arch
bishop added:
I'VE in America discovered that the
Jesuits were bitterly opposed to the estab-
lshment of our Catholic university in Wash
ington. They tried to circumvent the pope,
but Leo XIII pointedly warned me not 20
allow American bishops to be caught in
their tolls. My views on this subject are
those Of Cardinal Manning. who went far
tier than l do. To insinuate that American
ism means the transference of religious
orders TO the melting pot is calumny. They
have produced countless saints and have
their own exalted mission, but American
Catholicism requires a priesthood deeply
imbued with natural and civic virtues"

MIE. BLANCHINI PLANS SUICIDE.
Dcfantly Declares She VIII BE Dead
Within Week.

Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Coz
PARIS, March 9.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram.)-Mme. Blan-
chini evidently is planning to kill herself.
Her attempt yesterday on leaving court
failed, but she defantly declared, after be-
ing disarmed: Il shall be dead within a
week" Therefore she is closely watched.
She fully expected to be acquitted.
Conviction of trying to poison her hus-
band, the noted scenic artist, and sentence
TO prison at hard labor for five years was
great shock TO her, though when conducted
from the court room she appeared calm and
perfect mistress of herself. She was placed
between two officers when sentence was pro-
nervous spell upon hearing her fate Then
the officers took her to the st. Lazaire prison
accompanied by DR.. Floquet, the chief phys
ician of the Palais de Justice. The doc
tor had just left her at the prison en-
trance when she suddenly seized her hat
pin and thrust it into her left breast. DR..
Floquet noticed the movement and hastily
returned and took away her improvised
weapon. He found no wound. The pin had
not penetrated her clothing.
Nine. Blanchini soon recovered her nom
chalance, but her watchers suspect that she
is trying TO throw them off their guard in
order that she may carry out her plans for
suicide So confident was she of acquittal
that after arrest and awhile awaiting trial
she wrote a commentary upon THE Imi-
tation Of Christ" which she sent to the
prison chaplain.

POSTMASTERSHlP AT OMAHA
senator Thurston Intends Soon TO
Recommend IL Person for the
Position.

WASHINGTON. March 9.-(Special Tele-
gram within few days it is expected
that Senator Thurston will recommend a
postmaster for Omaha. This place, which is
the last of the big positions which the senior
senator from Nebraska will be called upon
to fill during the present administration, has
been on the books since the middle of Feb
ruary, the present postmaster, Euclid Mar
tin, having expressed desire to be relieved
of his position as soon as convenient. The
policy of the Postoffice department has been
TO continue postmasters for four years, and
in but few instances this policy has been
carried out. While there have been a mum
Der of names suggested for postmaster at
Omaha but few have filed formal applica-
tiOns for the place, and Senator Thurston,
in consequence, will have less trouble in
choosing a postmaster for Nebraska's me-
tropolis than has attended the naming Of
candidates in many places in the state.
What at one time seemed an imposs ble
problem for solution so far as the post
mastership of Omaha was concerned, now
solves itself, and it is thought Thurston
will nominate a man who assisted in his
election.
Postmasters appointed: South Dakota
Henry D. Box, at Baltic. Minnehaha county;
Mrs. Ellen NJ. Johnson, at Earring Presho
county; Henrietta C. Edwards, at Memo,
Lawrence county.
Instructions directing the discharge of
Privates Charles Blackburn, Company L,
Third Nebraska, and John Williams, Com
pany G, First Nebraska, have been con-
frned.
Plans have been completed at the indian
office for new electric light plant at the

ALBANY, n. Y, March 9-Mrs. Margaret
E. Cody has been convicted of attempting
to blackmail George and Helen Gould. The
jury brought in a verdict OF guilty toaight
after being out eight hours. A recommends
tion TO mercy was made,
The court will convene at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning, when the usual motion
will be heard and sentence will be passed.
1t is likely mat Mrs. Cody will receive a
light penalty on account of her age.
The jury balloted seven times before
agreeing the first ballot stauding: Guilty,
s; not guilty, 3; blank, l.
Mrs. Cody, who had remained in her chair
in the court room most of the afternoon
after the court adjourned, waiting 10 hear
her fate, gasped and all but tainted when
she heard the verdict of guilty, 1t was a
quarter of an hour before she had recov-
cred sufficiently to allow herself to be con-
Quoted back to jail.
Mr.. Dugan, counsel for Margaret F. CCdy
in the action brought against her for al
legged attempts to blackmail the heirs Of the
late Jay Gould, summed up for the defense
today, and Mr. Dyer closed for the prosecu-
tion, after which Judge Gregory charged the
jury.
The jury retired al 80 p. m. to consider
its verdict.
At 440 o'clock the jury came into court
and the foreman asked to have the alleged
blackmailng letter written by Mrs Cody
to George Gould read and that Judge Greg
Dry again read the statute in relation to
backmail.

charge that the threat of blackmail on which

stock yards, where the refrigerator beef and
canned beef are prepared The court began
IN the killing room. The next place visited
was the cooling room. Here were found
several halves of beef which had been con-
demned, either because the beef was badly
| bruised, or gave evidence that the animal
had had tuberculosis.
This condemned beef had been placed bv
itself and while the court was present men
came in to remove it to the rendering tanks
preparatory to turning it into fertilizer
possibly in view of the statement that the
carcasses passed through them
number of cans of roast beef which
had an old appearance and which it was said
had been in Porto Rico, were opened. The
meat inside was good and the members of
the court tasted it, but expressed no opinion.
After leaving the yards the court went to
the Bureau Of Animal Industry-a branch of
the Agricultural department-and obtained
some information from w. S. Devoe, who il
in charge They read the law governing the
inspection of animals and inquired as TO the
details Of the work OF inspection. Inspectors
are stationed in the yards proper and they
condemn any diseased cattle they see. The
inspectors at the packing house supplement
their work by examining the carcasses, after
slaughter and throw out any bearing evil
dence of pulmonary trouble.
Tomorrow morning the court will go to
the stock yards and spend the entire day
there in going over three other packing
houses. 1t is not likely that any testimony
will be taken before Saturday morning. At
least one packer is to be eXamined-the one
who furnished most of the canned roast beef
to the army.

Russell Chittenden of Yale university has
received notice of his appointment by the
War department, as one of two chemists,
who have been asked to analyze specimens
of the beef furnished to the American troops

LANSING, Mich, March 9.-The Pingree-
Atkinson bill, providing for taxation of rail-
roads express, telegraph and telephone
property on basis similar to that upon
which other property is taxed, has reached
its final stage in the house this afternoon
when that body concurred in all the amend
ments 10 the bill made by the senate There
we're no dissenting votes upon the question
of concurrence, and the bill now goes to
Governor Pingree for signature, which 1t is
expected to receive without 1oubt.
The bill as finally enacted repeals former
acts under which railroads were taxed in
proportion 10 their gross earnings. 1t pro-
vides for appointment by the governor. with
consent Of the senate, of Board of AS
SCISSORS, the members OF which shall have
access TO all accounts of the companies to
