CHINESE WILL YIELD.


VIII Bring Them to Terms.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-While the
war department has no specific in
formation as to tho future movements
of General Chaffee, it is thought that
he may have covered the 20 miles be-
tween Ho 81 WI and Tung Chow. The
Pei river makes a great bend between
Ho 81 WI and Matow,' the next town
Of importance on the road. This ooun-
try presents no defensive features. but
about eight miles beyond Matow lies
the important city Of Ching Chat Wan.
This is strong defensive point where
the Chinese will make q stand if they
make it at all this side of Pekin. From
Ching Chat Wan it is practically all q
continuous city for the next three
miles until the walled city Of Tung
Chow is reached. Here are stored i'm.
anense supplies Of grain on which Pekin
would depend In case Of siege. The
city would be almost as hard to carry
as was Tien Tsin, probably more 80 ow.

houses outside it's walls, where, in case
of determined resistance, mines and
ambuscades Of all sorts would natur.

Encountered At Every Street, Corner.
In case determined stand is made by

tim of Heart Disease.
RAcQUETrE LAKE. N. Y, Aug. 15.-
G. P. Huntington, president of the
Southern Pacific Railroad company,
died at his camp, Pine Knot. in the
Adirondacks, about midnight.
Apparently well on retiring at II
o'clock he was taken suddenly with a
choking spell, which was quite COM
mon with him, and which was not
thought to be serious, but he became
worse. AS soon as the seriousness Of
the attack was realized, q messenger
was dispatched to the neighboring
camp Of Governor .Lounsberry for
doctor, and he was ON hand in half an
hour. Mr.. Huntington died without
regaining consciousness, not more than
three.quarters Of an hour having passed
between the attack and his death. Mrs.
Huntington and Mr.. Huntington's Sec
rotary, g. E. Miles, were at his bedside
at the time Of death. ID" '"'>~' 1''.
Early in the day Of Monday Mr..
Huntington appeared to be enjoying
the best Of health, walking about his
preserve and taking trip on his pri-
vate steamer, the Oneota, and he re.
marked to his friends that he was feel.
ing unusually well. Mr.. Huntington,
wife and servants arrived at Durant on
Friday, Aug. 10 in their private car.
The steamer Oneota was awaiting their
arrival at the wharf to convey them to
their mountain home; Pine Knot camp.

New York, November 23-Commercial- AdYerusers London financial cabegram:
 The markets here were moderately active to-day and the tone was satisfactory until the afternoon when a French rumor was had that the Czar's condition was serious, though not credited, affecting the specula- tive markets adversely. Americans were much less interesting than they have been recently and business was reduced. There was general profit-taking by London and the continent, but fair support was forth coming. The result was zig2ag move ment in view of the settlement on Tues day Chesapeake and Ohio and St. Paul were in exceptional demand. The govern ment afternoon hours announced the issue of exchequer bonds at per cent The amount is 3,5O0,000 pounds to run five years, thus exhausting it's borrowing powers. The announcement was almost "a complete sur prise and seems to indicate that the gov ernment wishes to tide-over further war borrowing till January, when the revenue collection will afford better opportunity. No price was mentioned, but estimates range from 96 to 9S. The last issue, begin ming in August of 10e00,000 pounds bonds at 9S. of which half went to America, was for three years duration. Money was wanted, although the eXchequer issue was un- known.

 of Cotton.
UNDERTONE WAS STRONG

New York, November 23-The public did not manifest much interest tnto-days cot ton market, and while there were several spurts of general speculation for profession al account, operations in the aggregate were disappointngly small. The undertone of the market, however, was strong and prices from opening to close were consd- eraby above the final figures of the preyi- ous day. The feature of the news was a crop estimate by Neill, while the feature of the trading was the liquidation of sev- eral long interests and the accumulation Of extensive lines of May by the same parties.
 The market opened steady with prices showing an advance of sos points. The opening figures proved about the lowest Of; the session. The bulls were reinforced by small receipts at the ports and by an esti- mate by Neill of 9,5O0,000 to 9,75000O bales. The Liverpool market advanced upon re- celpt of this estimate Our market partic- ularly, was strengthened decidedly by the favorable turn of affairs in the English market, particularly as the advance there led to foreign buying 5ere The South furnished an abundance of bullish infor- nation. Receipts were expected to drop off rapidly during the next ten days, as plant CTS were selling very little cotton. New England spinners and exporters, according to Southern dispatches, were obliged to raise their bids. The local market showed q special degree of strength in the after neon when the weekend figures made their appearance. The close was steady with prices to Il points higher.

Fairchild and Hobsons Cotton Letter to
 H. D. Cothran and Company.
 New Orleans, November 23.-The long looked for and oft rumored circular of Mr. Neill made it's appearance in public print today. He placed the crop at from nine and half to nine and three-quarter mill lions Liverpool cables state that Neill is disbelieved but should his estimate be con- firmed by the bureau and by the fnove- ment. expect further advance. Lancashire is believed to be short. The movement at twenty-nine interior towns for the week shows a falling off in receipts as compar- ed with last week of about IA per cent, but run about the same as last year. The in- sight for the week, owing to the small overland, was decidedly less than calcu- lated upon, 371, ,605 against 412,384 last year and 544683 in 1898. The visible statement of today showed an increase of 127,OOO against last years small gain of 119.OOO in American cotton gives little hope for low CT markets, particularly when the visible of American stands tonight 72S.0O0 less than last year.
