COTTON.
New York. May 2.---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-
satisfactory affair, speculation being
mainly professional operations Of an
evening up sort, while the course of
values was dominated entirely by a
prominent Wall Street house. The news
at hand was too near stand off to afford
longs or shorts positive advantage, and
neither side made concerted efforts to inn
prove it's position. The opening was
steady at an advance of / to points
based on firmer Liverpool cables, bad
crop news from part of the belt together
with a furry of buying for Wall Street
account, soon placed prices at level of
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.
Receipts were about as expected.
Early in the day some 1000 May notices
issued by a Greek house were readi-
ly taken up by Philadelphia and other
shipping interests. The feature OF the
Liverpool cables was sales of $4,000 bales
spot cotton in the open market, said to
have resulted from improved prospects
for Manchester trade with India and
concession of 1-32d by sellers.
The market closed quiet and steady at
a net advance of from to 5 points.

CASE OF DEPRANITY.
One of the Most Peculiar Cases Ever
 Heard Of In the State.

MiddletOwn. Dec 24-One of the st1angeSt cases that has ever come be fore the city court was hear Saturday. Michael Ferrucci. 26 years of age and AnneSta teTrucci. 19. his sister, were in court. and their baby boy, born April I. lNN. was with them. They admitted their relationship. and said that they did not know they were re- lated until some weeks after they be- gan living together. They were never married. Their story is this: Their mother gave birth to twin girls in Italy 19 years ago. Their father denied their parentage and they were sold to other families. Michael never saw his sister after she was IS months old until he returned to Italy from this country four years ago. He persuaded her to come to this country with him. He took her to his father. who lives in New Haven, hut he refused to let the girl in. so they came here where Mi chapl had work. \ brother Joseph, loaned Michael $1O. and when he de- manded payment Michael WAS unable to pay. Out of revenge, Michael told the court. Joseph revealed the crime to the police.
 They were bound over to the April term of the superior court under 500 bonds. and Were taken to 1Iaddam jail Friday afternoon. The baby boy is bright appearing child and it's par entS are quite good looking They failed to realize that they had done anything wrong. Their house on Jack son street was in q most suualid con- dition. and they had but little cloth ing or furniture.

AN AUTONOMY PARTY.
Loyau Filipinos at Manila Adopt
 Platform

Platform.
 MANILA, Dec. 24.-The recently or ganized Autonomy party was launched at meeting attended by virtually all the loyal Filipino leaders in Manila. The declaration of principles was read and, after some discussion, adopted by vote of 123, less than half a dozen declining to vote. All signed an indorsement of the platform, including Senor Paterno, one of the most influential of the former insurgent leaders, whose real attitude to- ward American authority has been much questioned.
 The principal discussion. was with ref erence to the organization of the govern ment of the party. A council of D mem- bers was elected, together with an exec utive committee, including Senor Caye- tano Arellano, chief justice of the su- preme court; Mir. Frank H. Bourne, Senor Armiosa Frores, d former insur- gent general; SenOr ElOrentino Torres, attorney general for the Philippines; Senor Jose Near, prosecuting attorney, and Senor Tomas del Rosario. The smallest number of votes received by any candidate was so.
 Advices brought yesterday by steamer from southern Luzon say that q lieuten- ant and 60 men of the Ninth United States cavalry attacked q large body of insurgents last Wednesday near Guino- batan, province of Albay. After the bat tie 45 dead insurgents were counted, to- gether with many wounded. The only l American casualty was the Wounding of q sergeant who was cOrnered by several rebels and struck in the leg by q bolo | The rebel loss was the heaviest recorded among recent encounters. The cutting l of the wires has delayed the official re- ] port of the engagement.
 The Philippine commission has ap- pointed H. Phelps Whitmarsh governor l and Otto Scherer secretary of the prov 1 ince of Benguot.
 Thirty-nine priests, II of them belong ing in the province of Bulacan, the stron- l gest of the Tagal provinces, have signed | and forwarded to the Philippine commis- sion a paper proffering their submission and loyalty to it's authority, adding that the promise is made voluntarily and with out mental reservation. Judge Taft has | replied, welcoming their assistance in the pacihcation of a people lover whom you | will have so great an influence"
 A detachment of the Sixteenth infan- try has captured Bautista, the head of the katipunan society, in northwestern | LuZon.
 A detachment of the Forty-ninth in- fantry recently attacked barrie on the | Cagayan river, in Isabella province, drove out the insurgents. killing several Of them, and captured thousand rounds | of ammunition. The Americans also burned the insurgent quarters. The latest reports from Iloilo say that the islands of Pauay and Cebu, since the rainy season set in are being rapidly cleared of the enemy and that in a few weeks the only opposition encountered will be that offered by scattering Ia drones. The Twenty-siNth infantry il Panay and the Forty-fourth in Cebu are conducting an actively aggressive cam paign. The American casualties have recently been slight.

rThp British Lion RoarS,

LONDON, Dec 24.-The Times. in an editorial on President McKinley's deci- sion to submit the Hay-Pauncefote canal treaty to Great Britain, reproaches him with shifting dangerous responsibili- ty'' on the British government and says: ."The president must bear the responsi- bility for any friction that may ensue. The amended treaty is bargain to which we cannot agree and to which no reasonable American who takes the trou- ble to reflect upon our side of the Ques- ton can expect us to agree. When Sen ator Lodge announces that Americans expect Europe to keep out of Amerca' he forgets that England is great North American power and means to remain such a power. If the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is not adopted in a form accepta- ble to us, we shall stand quietly upon our indubitable rights under the Clayton Bulwer treaty, rights which cannot be affected by any action the American sen ate may choose to take"

VETERANS SUDDEN DEATH.
SvrnouSn

SYRACUSE, Dec. 24.-Theodore l.. Poole, United States marshal for the northern district of New York state and member of the Fifty-fourth congress from the Onondaga Madison district from 1894 to 1896, was stricken wish apOplcXy yesterday morning at o'clock as he at tempted to rise from his bed anl died immediately.
 Major Poole had been in poor health for several months. During the summer he suffered from an attack of nervous prostration. from which he recovered suf- ticicntly to assume in September the ac- tive duties of United States marshal, for which he qualified early i'll July.
 Major Poole was born in IIlbridgc, Onondaga county. on April 10, 1S40. When 22 years of age he enlisted as d private in Company 1 of the One Hun dred and Twcnty-second regiment, New York volunteers. When the regiment was mustered into service he was appointed quartermaster sergeant and from that time was successivcly promoted until the close of the war, when he was discharged with the rank of brevet major. At the battle of Cold Harbor he was severely wounded, and after several months of suffering at the hospital 1t became neces- sary to amputate his left arm to save his life
 Since the war Major Poole had been prominent in politics. He was a Repub- lican and occupied the offices of assistant assessor of internal revenue, United States pension agent for the western dis trict of New York United States con gressman and United States marshal. He was also a prominent q. A. R. man, serving for ten years as q member of the council of administration and in 1S92 be ing chosen commander of the department of New York for ore term.

SECOND REGIMENT MAJOR.
A New Candidate Has Been Brought
 Into the Field For the Office.


 \ new element of interest has been injected into the military situation ill the Second regiment, says the New Haven Sunday Register, by the an- nouncement by friends of Captain John .. TfllSUn of the blues that the popular young captain may consent to De a candidate for the majorShip this coming election. Friends of Captain IllSOu state that he has been impor- tuned by many of the officers of his own cOlnpany and of the GrayS and by others to stand for the place and that he has finally and conditionally acqulesced ill the plan. If Captain TilSOn comes out openly as q t.andi- date there will be :; fine TOW in the coming election as he will poll large number of votes and may easily defeat the other captains who are standing for the place
 Captain Donovan of the S'arSfield allu Captain Carter of Waterbury, nave been the leading candidates for the majorshfp position since the an- houncemcnt of the retirement of Col onel Callahan was made. Captain Donovan failed of the election when Colonel Burpee rtired and is now i'll the field again with strong following IT IS no secret, however, that friends | of Captain TilS0n are anxious to see nm ger the place in case it is open. Captain TilSon himself does not want | to StandI it is understood. as he says ] he has been q captain for so short q 1 time that he does not want to force himself forward. Captain Tilson. how i ever. IS known to be one of the bright est men ill the rank of captain. and one of the most experienced. He left | the GIayS to take command of the 1 Blues when that company was in q | state of diSOrgauiZation and since he l has been in command with very caDa- | Die officers. the company has risen l to be one of the very best in the brig l aue and won hands down at the late 1 shoot over the other contestants. Cap | tain TilsOn is the only officer in the 1 Second regiment who saw hard service 1 i'll the late War. As lieutenant of the | volunteer army he was with a TenneS- see regiment and was considered to he one of the ablest officers in the regiment. His tactical knowledge and skill ill managing bodies of men brought him much attention. His candidacy is regarded as an important move in the complex campaigning for the vacant majorship. He will receive the full support of the Blues and Grays and many Independent votes.

GARDINER HAD TO GO.
Roosevelt Took Prompt Action In
 Case of District Attorney.

e NEW YORK, Dec. 24. - Governor Roosevelt's prompt and summary action in the case of Asa Bird Gardiner was an eyeopener for the Tammany braves. The hearing Saturday at Albany occupied scarcely eight hours, and late i'll the even ing the. governor announced the removal of Croker'S district attorney and the ap- pointment of Eugene A. Philbin to sue ceed Colonel Gardiner. Mir. Philbin Is the senior partner of the firm of Phllbln, Beekman & Menkcn. Mir. Beekman, who was justice of the supreme court. died a few days ago. Mir. Philbin is a member of the Reform club a Gold Democrat and an opponent of Crokerism. He Is the opposite of all that Gardiner has repre- scented in the political life of the city.
 When the hearing was ended at i o'clock Saturday night, the belief was general that a case had been made out against Gardiner and that he had been proved guilty of sympathy at least with Chief Devery's open indictment to riot at the recent election. His failure to help Mir. Hammond in the speedy prose cution of election offenders was made so clear that all who heard the testimony felt that there would be q new district attorney named for New York.

MORE RAIN IN TEXAS.
General RepIanting Likely-RaiI-
roads Again Suffer Damage.

Dallas, April 27.-Torrents OF
rain have been falling today all
over Texas. 1t is estimated that
fully an inch fell at Dallas be.
tween IL and 1870. The crops
are in such bad shape that if the
rain continues a week longer
general replanting of corn and
cotton will be necessary in many
localities. Much of the wheat
will be ruined by rust. More
railroad washouts are being re
ported.
