The Persecution Of schley.

The Washington, ID. O. Times says
Senator Wellington. of Maryland, 1t is
said, has informed a number of Admin
istration managers that the attitude OF
the President in permitting the Navy
Department to continue its persecution
of Rear Admiral Schley will inevitably
result in the loss Of Maryland g electoral
vote for four years more Of Mckinley.
Senator Wellington, who feels very
strongly on the subject, says the anti
Schley crusade, unchecked by the Pres
ident, was almost responsible for the
overwhelming defeat Of the Republicans
at the municipal election in Baltimore
last spring. and that the entire State
will 20 Democratic in the national
campaign next year unless the persecu-
tion is stopped

LIQUIDATION IN
 COTTON MARKET Course of Prices Was PraCti-
 cally Downward. LIVERPOOL OPENED HIGHER Exporters and the Foreign Contingent Anxious for Depression Finally Barely Steady. 8 to 9 Points
 Below Saturdays Close
LIVERPOOL OPENED HIGHER

New York, November 13.-Liauidation was the leading feature of speculation most of the day and the course of prices practically from the start was strictly downward. In response to our upturn of Saturday, Liver pool opened considerably higher this morn ing and for time showed a healthy under tone. The better feeling abroad induced room bulls and a number of investors to take hold at the opening with the result that the feeling was steady. Prices were 1 point lower to higher. Subsequent events proved the initial quotations to be about top for the day. Soon after the opening the foreign news took turn for the worse and led by bears selling was soon general
 Exporters lent their aid towards depress- ing the market as did the foreign contin- gent. Notwithstanding predictions of a week or ten days ago that in view of the remarkable purchases by the European spinners and American manufacturers, a much larger movement was naturally in order, shorts endeavored to make capital of the increase reported today Wall street expressed confidence in the ultimate course of the market but sold a large portion of it's holdings under the fear that a serious break was at hand under sheer weight of long stuff piled up on the late rise.
 Stop orders were reported in the late ses- sion and these contributed to the weakness. Southern spot markets were reported to be holding very steady considering the unset tied ruling of the American and English future market. At the lowest level the market showed a net loss of 22 to 2S points. The close was barely steady with prices s to points under Saturdays close, the market partly recovering.

Talbott & Palm er's stock Letter

New York, November 13.-The most con- spicuous dealings in the stock market to- day was the heavy buying of stocks by foreign houses, whose aggregate was esti- mated at upward of 5000 shares. The mar ket opened generally firm after a general reaction. which, however, aside of a few instances, did not attain great proportions. The whole market developed pronounced strength and activity, and some very sharp advances were secured. The favorable dis position of dhe dealings for foreign &C., count was probably the most encoura ging factor The foreign buying was particular ly heavy in Southern Pacific, which stock was a conspicuous feature of the market, and it was also noted in all of the tnterna- tional list shares There was little par- ticular news, the gossip bearing upon the stock or upon the other features of the market.
