Cotton Letter

By Private Wire to H. D. Cothran & Co.
 New Orleans, May 12.-A further decline of 1-16 in the Liverpool spot market, with futures there losing 11a-64, coupled with a continuance of fine crop weather through out the south influenced a weak market on this side of the Atlantic. New Orleans was 1 point off for near and far months, but later the new crop displayed the most weakness and sold off points, as against 2 points for nearby months. The Chronicle of today could not be construed as bearish and while it told of no additional damage to the crop, it nevertheless had little to say in its favor. We understand by tele- gram from New York that a prominent firm there has engaged freight room for 14,5OO bales, which is to be shipped be- tween now and the 18th proximo. The

LAND GOES TO CHILDREN,


Special Dispatch 10 the Post-Inteliigencer
TACOMA. Aug. s.--Judge Williamson
Judge Wickersham. on behalf Of George
Bird, an Indian OF the Puyallup reser-
walton. to quiet title to lands granted to
Bird and his former wife and her children
under the terms OF the treaty of 1855.
Wickersham claimed that the patent
vested the title In the husband
alone. and that the wife and children
were mentioned In tho patent merely as
measuring bobs to tell how much the
husband was entitled to.
The court held that the patent was in
the nature OF an evidence OF partition of
the land in severaity. which had before
been held in common. and that all the
parties named in the patent took title.
and that upon the death OF tho mother
her interest went to her children as In the
case OF any other citizen OF the territory
or state. The children. heirs OF the for
mer wife OF Bird, were claimants TO the
land. which the court awards to them.
