Deputies Arrested.

Acting under the order issued by the
chief of police, Major Hunt McCaleh
Of Galveston, who was appointed aid
to Gen. Scurry, issued an order to the
militia to arrest all persons carrying
arms without the proper authority.
The result was that about fifty citi-
zens wearing deputy sheriff badges
were arrested by the soldiers and Ia
ken to police headquarters. The SOL
diers had no way of knowing by what
authority the men were acting with
these badges and would listen to no
excuses.
Gen. Scurry and Sheriff Thomas,
hearing of the wholesale arrests, call
ed at police headquarters and consult
Cd with Acting Chief Amundsen. Chief
Amundsen referred Gen. Scurry 10
Mayor Jones. Then Gen. Scurry and
Sheriff Thomas held a conference at
the city hall. These two officers soon
arrived at an understanding and an
agreement was decided upon to the eff
feet that all persons deputized as
deputy sheriffs and all persons ap-
pointed as special officers shall be
permitted to carry arms and pass in
and out Of the guard lines.

REPUBLICANS
OfNebraska Hold Convention and Name
 State Ticket

Lincoln, Neb., May 2.-The republican state convention today nominated the fol- lowing ticket:
 For governor, Charles Deitrich; lieuten- ant-governor, E. P. Savage; secretary of state, George ". Marsh treasurer Will liam Steuffer; auditor, Charles Weston; encouragement, Frank N. Prout; superin- tendent of public instruction, Professor w. K. Fowler; delegates at large to the na- tiona1 convention, Edward Rosewater Sen ator John M. Thurston, John H. McClay, John A. Ehrhardt.
 With two exception, the state ticket was nominated by exclamation. The contest over delegates at large, the crux of which was the fight made on United States Sen ator Thurston, caused intense excitement while the roll was being called. But when the result of the balloting showing that both the senator and Editor Rosewater, who headed the anti-Thurston movement, had been elected, was read the convention gave itself up to the widest cheering.
 Chairman John l.. Webster presented the report of the committee on resolutions which was unanimously adopted. The dec larations against trusts and laudation of the national administration especially were adopted.
 Charles Henry Deitrich, the nominee for governor is president of the German Ma tional bank of Hastings, Neb. He never held a political office.

V. held well, and sugar was strong both on pool and buying. Long Island made sen- sational advance on another anticipated absorption by Vanderbits. Labor troubles continued to affect N. Y.

 Sugar closed fairly firm. although trad ing in the last hour was practically con- fined to operators in room.
 Strength in l.. l. was maintained partly on scarcity of stock. and bonds were also dealt in and out of room at 243 per cent advance

STOCK MARKET
 A TAME AFFAIR Constant Changes in Sugar Fur nished Only Excitement. STEEL STOCKS VERY TIMID At One Time Tennessee Coal and Iron Dropped Six Points Short sells z ing Was Largely Responsi-s
 ble for the Decline

New York, May 2.-There was no busi- ness of importance in the stock market to- day. Sugar opened at last nights price and moved up at one time AZ points, closing with a net gain of about 1. The constant fluctuations of this stock offered the room traders about their only opportunity for securing a turn during the greater part of the day and they traded in 1t constantly in and out, helping on the aggregate of sales recorded in the stock without making any impression on the stock transfer books of the company. News of the stock con- sisted of rumors without verifcation.
 There is undoubtedly a feeling of dread among speculators that there may be a sudden and sensational development re- garding the steel industrials and those stocks are sensitive to every passing rumor.
 They were all weak today, Tennessee soal dropping at one time 6 points. The rally in the group indicated that short selling was largely responsible for the decline, and no very large offerings were brought out by the drop.
 For some time the merchandise credits
 
 ance have been left at interest abroad. This countrys large gold production and the present cutting off of the Transvaal gold supply also makes us the source of supply for the money market The net re- suit, is that we are not only refraining from calling home merchandise credits, but are shipping out the money metal to meet the needs of foreign markets | The bond market was dull and irregular Total sales, par value, S1,43S,0O0 United States refunding when issued advanced B and the 3s, old As and new As, A in the bid price.

LITTLE INTEREST IN COTTON MARKET As a Whole it Was Quite Un-
 satisfactory. THE FLUCTUATIONS NARROW News Was Too Near a Stand Off to Affcrd the Longs or Shorts Any ' Decided Advantage-The
 Close Was Steady
THE FLUCTUATIONS NARROW

New York, May 1.-The bulk of today's business and the chief price changes in cotton today were made during the first hour The market as a whole was an un- satifactory affair, speculation being limit ed mainly to professional operations on an evening up sort while the course of values was dominated almost entirely by a prom inent Wall street house. The news at hand was too near a stand-off to afford longs or short any decided advantage and the short side made efforts to prove its position The opening was steady at an advance of 1 to D points, based on firmer Liverpool cables, bad crop news from parts of the belt, to- gether with furry of buying for Wall street account soon placed prices at a level to 10 points above last nights close.
 For the rest of the day fluctuations were too narrow to call forth comment, and at times business was almost at a standstill Early in the day some May notices were issued by a Greek export house, but were readily taken up by Philadelphia and oth- CT shipping interests. The feature of the Liverpool cables was sales of 15,000 bales of spot cotton in the open market, said to have resulted from improved prospects for Manchester trade with India and a con- cession of 1-S2d by sellers.
 The market closed quiet and steady at net advance of to points,

Murphy & Company's Cotton Letter Q

New York, May 2.-Liverpool declined 1-32d on spots; middlng, 15-32d; sales, 15 ,000 bales. Futures opened a shade lower, was shade higher at D. m., but closed slightly below yesterdays Our market ruling dull but firmer owing to the large spot business in Liverpool and cables from that side, intmating that spinners' takings are likely to increase. May delivery here shows considerable strength, despite the issuance of delivery notices for 1000 bales- The position is now commanding a higher premium than at any time yet This is due to stoppage of the notices, and rumor that the parties taking them up will ex- port the cotton. Liverpool was moderate buyer of new crop here. Wall street in terests also fair buyers. Our warehcSse stock is 5000 bales, of which only 230Oo bales are certifcated (ready for immediate delivery on contraets). The total united states stock is lower at present than. for ten years.
