 COTTON WENT ON a, ANOTHER BREAK Improvement of the Past Fey Days Wiped Out. DECLINED AT THE OPENING The Dominating Influence Was the Weakness in the English Cotton Market Where Both Spots and Futures Suffered Severely
DECLINED AT THE OPENING

New York, May 29.-Much of the improve ment scored within the past few days in cotton futures was wiped out within the first hour today under very active selling by all branches of the trade and irresist- ible bear influences.
 The opening figures, which showed a de- cline of 349 points, were about top for the day, and while there were occasional peril ods of steadiness on furries of profit taking, the general ruling of the market was weak and the trend of prices steadily downward. Within the first hour the opening break was increased to matter of S@10 points, while later in the session another spell of weakness carried prices off 9Q25 points from last nights closing.
 The dominating influence was weakness in the English cotton market, where both spot and future deliveries suffered severely from heavy selling pressure. The European speculative element was influenced by good crop and weather reports from the south, together with liberal offerings of spot cot ton in the belt at lower prices
 The New Orleans market was relatively the weakest on the list, owing to active bear speculation, prompted by exceptionally good weather and crop statements and re- ports of additional reductions in spot quo tations throughout the belt. There was a notable increase in commission house trad ing. The market closed easy on near months and steady on far months with prices 9GD25 points net lower.

ONE COUNTRY EDITORS FAKE

A certain campaign document that had
its origin IN this state is being pub
lished abroad by the country Republican
papers throughout the land. 1t is one Of
the most brazen diversions of the truth
which the press bureau OF the party has
yet sent out, and for this reason it has
been regarded by that functionary as
first-class piece Of campaign literature
and is given general circulation. No in
novation Is established by the existence
of this Republican "dodger,' for 1t
is one of the thousands of such that are
being distributed, either In dodger form
or by means of country papers through

few weeks ago q country editor who
runs small paper in q Southern Min

spend day in st. Paul. He set out
early In the morning to take in the
city," and in one of his strolls up Third
street passed an employment agency,
the clerk of which was lacking up some
signs calling for various kinds of work

demands, and q notion struck the rural-
list that here was a fine chance for him
to do something for his party by manu-
featuring some campaign literature.
He stepped up to the agent and asked
him If business in his line was not par
ticularly good this fall. The e.hp oymeut
agent replied that it was tolerabiy fair

HOME TREATMENT
BAPTISTS IN HOT DEBATE
REV. DIR. HANNA MAKES SWEEP
ING ACCUSATION OF HEREsY.

SOUTHINGTON, Conn, Oct. 5.-The
adjournment of the anniversary meeting
bf the New Haven Baptist association
was preceded by lively debate, occa-
ejoned by a sensational attack upon the
Newton theological seminary; near Bos-
ton, and the University of Chicago. A
resolution was presented asking that all
of the churches in the association be
asked to take a collection for the Newton
theological seminary. 1t was announced
that John D. Rockefeller had promised
to give the Institution $4,000 If similar
The Rev. T. A 7. Hanna, Of Shelton,
opposed the resolution in vigorous Ian
guage. He said This seminary ana
also the Baptist university at Chicago are
hot beds of heresy. Their instructors lead
the pupils from the solid foundations OF
the old Theology to the shifting quick
sand of the new so-called scientific re-
ligion.
The speaker went on to say that the
teachings of some of the doctors of di-
vinity IN the Baptist seminaries had be-
Come so outwardly agnostic that it had
been necessary TO relieve them of their
positions. The wording, however" he
said, is not yet completed and the
Beninaries still hold men who endanger
the future of the Christian church
Other speakers defended the insttu-
lions alta cked vigorously, and character
lied the attack uncalled for. A long
debate was ended when Rev. w G.
Thomas, Of Essex, moved the adoption
of the resolution, and this was done by
an overwhelming vote.

ment agent had Informed him that such
conditions as these charts indicated ex-
listed under the respective administrations:
that while during the present year OF
Mckinleys term of office. it is almost
impossible to get men enough TO do the
work that is demanded; under Mr. Cleve-
land there were ten men to every one
job
The document was deemed of such ex-
cellent effect that the country editor, anx-
ious that 1t should receive general cir
culation, forwarded it to the national
press bureau, and from that office it has
been sent out to various little sheets
that have lots Of space. not otherwise
occupied. The publication was recently
observed in a country weekly printed
down in Missouri so presumably 1t has
gone the rounds.
A few days ago Globe reporter,
who had seen this Republican document
in one of the little papers, casually
stepped into the office of Albert H. An
derson, the employment agent, who was
lacking up these signs and from whose
place of business the statements were
taken. He showed Mr. Anderson copy
of one Of the papers containing the pub
LEGATION, and asked him if the Statements
made and implied there were true. Mr..
Anderson, who is one of the most prom
inent and reliable employment agents in
the city, stated at once that the whole
thing was untrue, and that he told the
man at the time who copied the signs,
not to make any statements that he could
not prove.
why" said Mr. Anderson, common
sense would suggest to any one who pos
sessed it. that blank signs means no
business, and that a man IN this business
could not pay rent and other expenses. if
his signs were not filled. In an expert
ence Of sixteen years in the business
have never known a time when such
state of affairs SIS that man presented,
to be true, and recall that during the
year to which he referred my business
was exceptionally good. During that
year sent Just one thousand men down
into the Southwest part of the United
States-that was on one order mind you,
of the Mckinley administration. SO far
as that is concerned. don't care any
thing about making myself public In this
matter and I take so little interest in
politics that [ would not make the state
ment at all If the actual facts had not
been so la sely misstated. I repeat it, my
business was very good indeed during the
last year Of President Cleveland's adj
mlnistration, and never gave any man
any ground for making such radically
different statement"
This is a fair sample OF the authen-
ITCHY of the average Republican CAM
paign document and serves to illustrate
how little the 'little'' sheets that print
the stuff sent them from the headquar-
ters, or copied from exchanges, really
know of the facts with which they are
purporting to deal.
