Manchester Market Dull

Manchester, April S.-Bast weeks mar ket was on the whole dull. Early in the week there was considerable yarn sold, though irregularly and at lower prices, but after Monday and Tuesday there was a recovery. Nevertheless trade was slow, insignificant and dragging. In cloth trade prices showed scarcely any change.
 India and China appeared to be over shipped and over stocked. The plague at Calcutta and the plegue and famine at Bombay hinder distribution. Madras, Singapore and Java were moderate buy. ers and other foreign markets have been buying for urgent needs. The home trade took specialties and finished goods.
 The March export of piece goods was smaller to Turkey, Morocco, Persia, Cen tral America, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay. Bombay and Calcutta. It increased to the European continent Egypt, the Dutch Indies, China, the United States, the Ar gentines, Madras, the Straits settlement and Canada. Philippine shipments were quadrupled and Japan shipments sex tupled. The total cloth exports were prac- tically the same as last year. The yarn shipments were over IS per cent. smaller.

 Interest in the democratic state conyen- ton next Wednesday is intense. Twelve nominations are to be made. E. Y. Webb of Shelby will be temporary chairman.

QUEEN VICTORIA Y.
 As ATTENDS SERVICE In Private Chapel of the Vice Regal Lodge.
  RIOT IN DUBLIN STREETS
A Train of Excursionists Were Hooted and Were Made Targets of Mis- siles of Mud-Hay Rick
 Set Fire

Dublin, April S.-This morning Queen Victoria attended services in the private chapel of the Vice Real Lodge, accom- panied by the Duke and Duchess of Con- naught, Princess Christian and Princess Henry of Battenberg. Her majesty select ed the hymns sung by the choir, which came from St. Patrick's cathedral. The archbishop of Dublin preached. Only a portion of the houshold were present, as the chapel is a tiny building.
 This afternoon, although the weather was unfavorable, the queen took her GUS tomary country drive, passing through Cabra, Finglas, Kilashane, Coppagh and Blanchardstown and through the beautiful valley of the Tolka. Everywhere she met with an enthusiastic reception. The rain to some extent marred the beauty of the drive; but large crowds awaited her majes- tvs return to Dublin and heartily cheered her. A
 Another incident is told of the queens kindliness of heart. It appears that, owing to train delays a party of children arrived yesterday too late for the children's recep- ton. The queen, hearing of their disap- pointment through Lady Mayo had them brought to the gates of the vice regal lodge today and then drove slowly through their ranks on her way to the country drive, of course, to their keen delight
 The queen today reiterated expressions of her extreme pleasure at the attendance yesterday of so many children. It is com puted that quite 52,OO0 were present.

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST

The last week of the campaign for the democratic nomination for state and coun- ty officers opens up today and needless to say it will be lively from now until the polls close Saturday night.
 The contest between Senator Morgan and Governor Johnston has all along over shadowed every other issue and will most likely continue to do so until the end of the week.
 The Morgan people have named tickets for delegates to the county convention in several of the beats, but so far the John- ston people have refrained from doing so. It seems that in some of the beats where these tickets have been named some dis satisfaction exists over selections and some talk Is heard of Morgan people re- fusing to vote the ticket. Whether this re- port is mere campaign talk or is based on facts does not appear certain. The John ston people, it is stated will not take any chances of creating dissatisfaction by the selection of unpopular delegates and for that reason, it is said, will not name their ticket until the last moment

IMPORTANT PAPER
Jacob Leese Will Demand His Land
 from Mexico

Monterey. Cal, April s.-A paper of con- siderable international importance has just been received from London by Jacob R. Leese of this city, son of the California pioneer Jacob P. Leese. The paper is the original grant from the Mexican govern ment made in 1863 to Jacob P. Leese and others of 1S.000,000 acres of land in lower California for colonization purposes. At the time the grant was made Mexico was in a state of war which continued practi- cally until after the accession of Diaz to the presidency, and Leeses associates found it difficult to induce colonists to go there A further contract was made with the Mexican government by which Leese paid $100,o0 for the land upon condition that if he failed to colonize because of the war before the expiration of an allotted time, the government was to return him $50, 900 of the amount.
 This amount has never been paid and 1t is stated that the Mexican government ab- solutely refuses to recognize Leese's claim. J. R. Leese, eldest son of Jacob P. Leese, received a deed from his father shortly be- fore the latter's death assigning him one eighth of the IS, ,OOo, 900 acres and 1t is this as well as the $5O,000 for which he Is fight | ing. He intends to move at once through the state department at Washington for recognition of his claim and restoration 1 of his property and that of the other heirs.
