cH1NA's COTTON TRADE.
Earl LII and Other Mill Owners Sell
Their Stocks.

BOSTON, Nov. SIT is believed in the
cotton trade that the prediction that the
increased demand for cotton from China
and India will influence the prices of the
American staple materially. is not likely
to prove true. Large quantities of cotton
held by the Chinese mills are being sold
out Of the country. Among other sellers
is the Viceroy Ii Hung Chang. who is
large mill owner in his native country and
whose sales are said to have comprised
all the cotton that was intended for his
factories. The transactions are taken to
mean that he does not consider that af-
fairs in China will be such as to warrant
the active resumption OF trade there very
soon. s.,reEr T. ~- -.-
The Importance OF Earl Lis move can
be best appreeia when it is consider
ed that one of -hisomills, situated at Shang-
hal, employs 5000 hands and turns out l.
600 pieces of cloth and 50, 900 pounds of
yarn every twen.y-four hours. the plant
being operated night and day with a
double SHIFT of workers, eleven and a half
hours being the stint for each. Sheng. the
Director of Railways, is associated with
Lii Hung Chang in that venture. There
are. in addition to that mill, eight others
in Shanghai, which give employment to
%, 600 operatives. The mills of central
China have nearly 400, 600 spindles num-
Der that would have been largely increas-
ed but for the present troubles. Most
of the cotton used is of native growth,
the crop Of China and Korea being about
700 900, eco pounds, or. say. 100000 Ameri
can bales.

The delegates justified the prediction Of
many Cubans that the parties would not
be hidebound. Many of the delegates
showed elasticity Of opinion. This was ex-
emplified by Gualberto Gomez and Senior
Capote, two firm political allies, opposing
each other at the first session. and also
by Senior Sanguilly opposing Senior Gomez
while the latter was supported by Senior
Quesada.

Wood to manifest the satisfaction with which the

SENTENCED TO DEATH.
benjamin PuEh Condemned to the
Electric Chair.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Benjamin Pugh. a
colored man. was sentenced by Judge Hurd.
in the County Court of Brooklyn, this
morning to death in the electric chair in
the State prison at Sing Sing some time
in the week beginning December "a next.
Pugh, after trial lasting three days,
was convicted last week of the murder of
John Tiegen or August 23. On that date
Pugh went into a restaurant on Fulton
Street. Brooklyn. where Tiegen was EN-
ployed as a waiter
After ordering meal and eating it.
Pugh started to walk out without paying
for 1t. Tiegen stopped him at the coor
and Pugh placed the money on a table.
Tiegen thought the difficulty was ended
and reached for the change. but as he did
so Pugh brushed it off on the floor. Tie
gen then kicked him and put him cut.
Pugh made no resistance but went
across the street where he bought a re-
volver and some cartridges. He returned
to the restaurant and fired four shots at
Tiegen, two of which entered his head
killing him almost instantly.
Pugh is 20 years old. His attorney made
a motion for a new trial. The sentenced
man will be taken to Sing Sing this sfter-
noon

They say they tried TO resume business
several times. but the moment their
places were opened they were looted by
the soldiers. who stole everything they
could lay hands on. The Chinese are,
therefore. utterly helpless.
Shooting around Field Marshal Won
Waldersee's headquarters at night is such
that one OF the attaches said today that
it was dangerous for an officer to stick
his head out of a window as stray bull
let might hit him. When the Chinese are
ordered to halt they do not understand
and are frequently shot down. The at
taches said if this shooting was justified
in the German section it was strange that
il was not necessary in the other quarters
of the city.
Before the occupation of Pekin The
quarter now controlled by the Americans
was the toughest part of the city. Now
ii is not necessary to fire a single shot
to keep the peace. and only two Chinese
have been killed in the district since it's
occupation by the troops.
The condemnation OF the fantai, or pro-
vineial treasurer of Paoting-fu, by the
International Commission and the ap-
proval of the death sentence by Field
Marshal Count Won Waldersee has caused
CONSERVATION among the Chinese. Ii Hung
Chang is making unofficial representations
to some of the foreign Ministers in which
he asks them to use their influence with
the commandment chief to have the SEN
tencc suspended.
The missionaries assert that the fantai
was chiefly responsible for all the horrors
in that section of the country during the
Boxer outbreak. and, while it is known
that certain Ministers think the execution
of this official might interfere with the
peace negotiations, there is no probability
that Earl Lis request will be granted.
Advices from an official Chinese source
say that there is no possibility OF the
return of the court to Pekin before
spring. III
