AMERICANS HANDICAPPED.
Fell on I'm Their Winnings In Inter
national Games.

Paris, July 19-The manner in which
the American athletes had been sweeping
the field in the International games in con-
nection with the Paris Exposition opened
the eyes OF the organizers, and the re-
suit was shown in the handicapping of to-
day, which practically left the Americans
out IN the cold.
The effect upon the Americans was
demonstrated by the fact that whereas on
the previous days they had secured four
ffths of the games, To-day out of the nine
events they captured only one first, with
four seconds and five thirds.
The feature. of to-day's programme was
the 25-mile Marathon foot race. which
was won by Theatre Michael, a French
man.
The scratch pole vault was won by Hor-
Ton of Princeton. This was the only
American win OF the day.

Rome, July 19.--The government has re-

It is understood, has been dispatched TO all
the Powers, proposing an interna tional
agreement for joint action in China and
the future attitude of the Powers. The
matter is still under consideration here.
Lord Salisbury. the British premier and
minister Of foreign affairs It is under

spirit. The replies of the United states

meeting of the joint committee on
the Territorial contest.

fifth member to fill the committee
as provided by the national COM

FIVE was to arrange for a settle

would be acceptable to both sides.
But they didn't get this far, as
a hitch occurred in their efforts to
select the fifth member. They
were in session most of the day
and every effort to select a 6fth

New York, October 4.-The early
cable advices from Liverpool showed
response TO our markets advance Of
yesterday, and the later cables fndi-
Gated no decline In the strength on
that side. The opening in New York
was trifie higher than the CLOSE Of
yesterday, and during the early
hours Of trading the bulls kept the
prices advancing without any recess
sions, until during noon hour, when
there was considerable covering by
the shorts and some profit taking by
the longs, which had q depressing
effect on the market, but which,
however, was ouly momentary, and
the loss was easily recovered.
The receipts for the day were
larger than last year and should
there be any perceptible falling
of Of the receipts in the near future
it would, in all probability, have
tendency to further advance the
prices, especially of the deferred
months.
The cotton trade in general is ex
pecting very bullish government

the bull side also, and in view of ths
extremely bullish condition of the
trade, but IL the port receipts CON
tinue large, this will, to some extent
counterbalance the situation.
During the last hour of the session
there was more profit taking on th'
long side and prices were forces
down from the high point and closet
with gains of one to Eve points fo
the day. Following is the range:

which contained $50. 10 in cash, a

another from the Odd Fellows
