WENT UP LIKE A ROCKET.
Wild Excitement on the New York
Cotton Exchange.


NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-The widest ex-
element prevailed at the cotton exchange
throughout the entire session. No official
record was kept of the transactions. but
it is estimated that they reached close
onto 100000 bales. This would be near the
record. The fluctuations of prices were
frequent and violent. From the closing of
Saturdays market to the highest point
today there was an advance of "a to 20
points. The upward movement, how
ever, was by no means steady. Numerous
periods of reaction gave the market at
times the appearance of going TO pieces
under liquidation and efforts to secure
profits. From the highest to the lowest
point of the day there was difference
of 10 to 16 points. But in the main the
feeling was very strong.
The advance was based upon sensa-
tional advance at Liverpool; the English
market made net gain of 6@10d on the
closing of Saturday. Orders from Great
Britain and the Southwest were for enor-
nous quantities of cotton, chiefly to COW
er short contracts. Southern buying Or
ders were also enormous, and Southern
spot market reports came as strong as
at any time yet.
The local market for spot cotton was
officially reported as being BIG cents high
err, while later sellers were scarce at Ac
advance. The market was very active up
to the close of business, and finished very
firm at an advance Of 1908 points.

GODDARD WAS GAME,
But the Youth and Speed of Shar-
key Conquered Him.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 13.-Sailor Tom
Sharkey and Joe Goddard, the Barrier
champion, met tonight at Industrial hall,
in what was to be a siX-round bout God
dard, however, was clearly outclassed,
and was saved in the middle Of the
fourth round from an almost certain
Knockout by his trainer, Jack Dough-
erty, throwing UP the sponge. Sharkey,
in a series OF terrific rushes, had warm
ed things for the veteran until defeat
seemed to be due in the next blow, when
Dougherty surrendered. Goddard = was
still anxious to fight, and made a lunge
at the sailor. The two mixed things, and
after rapid exchanges Goddard slipped to
the floor and, with Tom on top, came
near rolling ingloriously through the
ropes.
More than 1000 persons witnessed the
fight, ara Sbarkey was given an ova-
ton as he took his corner with Tom
O'Rourle and Jack Fogarty by his side
Clever little George Dixon, who acted as
one of the sailors seconds, was also
cheered. Goddard also came in for a.
welcome The veteran pugihst, John s.
Clark, was the referee.

his majesty and a large suite Imme-
diately after the Ltrain stopped, Prince

emperor, who met himl half way The
two brothers embraced and kissed each
other affectionately,i the bands played,
and the guard of honor presented arms.

At the banquet this evening in honor
of the prince, Emperor William said:
Your royal highness, my dear brother,
heartily welcome you back to the father
land and TO our capital. A year ago I
sent you out to accomplish your task in
the far East, and could only ask God to
give you protection and success in the
work. Your joyous and enthusiastic re-
ception at the hands Of all classes at my
capital is proof of the loving interest with
which the whole people have followed
your now happily fulfilled task This rec
ognition has, however, a deeper signiti-
canoe. 1t is an indisputable index finger,
indicating how thoroughly the German
people comprehend the necessity of
strengthening our sea power. The Ger
man people and princes are all one with
their kaiser in the intention to erect
new landmark of the mighty development
Of the country, and are creating new
navy adequate to its requirements. AS
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse gave us a
welcome whereby we once again became
black, white and red, so the German peo-
pie are preparing TO forge an arm by
which, with Gods help, they may remain
white, black and red to all eternity, both
at home and abroad.
Returning home, YOU will find thriV-
ing baby boy in the arms of your wife.
May you, as sponsor Of the new growth
of our young fleet, see him grow into full
strength under Gods protection. Hoch,
hoch.

NEW AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF

perienced in Filling in the Cap
A. C. Arson Is Elected to the
Presidemcy-Vetera Is Pleased
with the Prospects of the New
OraanizatiOn-NO Reserve Clause.
CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-At a stormy ses-
sion at the Great Northern hotel the
new American Association Of Baseball
clubs was organized with seven clubs.
John McGraw and Phil Peterson, of Bal
timore, were appointed as committee to
secure the eighth city. AS the circuit
now stands it includes, in the West,
Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Louis and Louis
Vile; in the East, Boston, Philadelphia
and Baltimore.
1t was the expectation of those pres
ent today that Washington would COM
plete the eight-club circuit.
The projectors Of the organization pro-
ceeded Immediately with the work Of
making constitution and adopting by
laws, but announced that they would not
be completed for day or two. The or
ganization was perfected after forenoon
spent in what seemed, even to McGraw,
useless debate. He declared that unless
he was speedily shown that there were
enough clubs with good backing to
complete an eight-club circuit he would
drop the whole matter.
The absence of Mccarthy, of Boston,
was a stumbling block. Nothing could
be done without him, it was said. The
meeting at this time seemed likely to
break up without any result, when Re-
gar, of Philadelphia, burst into the room
with a telegram in his hand. 1t was
signed by Mccarthy and appointed the
Philadelphia proxy for Boston.
With seven clubs represented, the pro-
moters of the new association got down
to business.
Capt. Arson, without showing his
hand assured the new magnates that
his backing for rival to the National
league in Chicago was adequate. Al
Sphinx announced that he had eight play
ers signed for st. Louis, and that crowds
which might be going to games of tho
National league would have to pass his
grounds and that, if necessary he would
throw the gates open to pull them away
from the other people. Quin, of Milwau>
tee, declared that everything was ready
In the Wisconsin city.
All the promoters were smiling when
the morning meeting adjourned and were
sanguine of the speedy growth and sue
cess of the young association.

PARIS, Feb. 13-The troubles in the ISL
and of Martinique were again brought up
in the chamber of deputies today, when
M. Duquesnay deputy from Martinique,
demanded that the government recall the
governor Of the island, Who, he said, was
deceiving the government regarding the
electoral situation. He also asked for
the dismissal of the public prosecutor. M.
Duquesnay added that he had received a
dispatch today showing that the riot, or
rather insurrection, was in full swing,
and that the government was incapable
of suppressing it.
The minister for the colonies. M. de
Crais, said that when full particulars
were received the question Of the reorean-
izatton Of the administration of Martin
lque would be examined. The official
news, he added, was less alarming than
that Of M. Duquesnay. Orders have been
sent to reinforce the garrison by a COM
pany of marines, and a cruiser was on
her way to Fort de France That was
the only possible thing for the time be-
ing.
The chamber refused to discuss the mat
ter further.
