ASSA|LANTS OF
 SEYMOUR TRIED
All Three Are Bound Over, Their Bond Being Fixed
 at $5,000.

Livingston, May A-(Special)-A the preliminary trial today of Bob Scott, Will Scott and Bob Harper, who are charged with assault with intent to murder R. H. Seymour of this place, Hon. c. B. High tower, the justice presiding, fixed the bond in the case of each at 5000
 Never in the history of the county has there been such a manifestation of sym pathy by the people as there has been for MT. Seymour, who it seems was fired on by the accused from fifteen to twenty times at a range of from four to ten feet, and when, too, he made no effort to escape.
 From the testimony presented today it seems a declaration from MT Seymour to the effect that he was not armed and the question by him, Are you going to shoot me down like a dog?" after having both arms broken did not suffice to stay the firing.
 It is not known whether the parties who have been standing by the accused will bail them now or not, but it is generally sup posed they will.
 A feature of the trial was the able speech of the Hon. w. B. Oliver, the brilliant young solicitor of this district, in his reply to Captain A. B. McEachin. of Tuscaloosa, and J. J. Altman, Esq, for the defense.
 MT. Seymour's chances for recovery not withstandIng his fourteen wounus, seem to be good

 Great Success

Tuscaloosa, May 23.-(SpeciaL)-Yester- day morning marked the close of bril- liant series of commencement exercises of the T. F. college.

Culver offered prayer, and the literary address was made by Hon. w. T. Saunders of Athens, Ala. Judge Saunders opened his remarks by saying that he was more ac- customed to addressing a crowd of twelve no one of whom could be woman. But from his discourse 1t would have been thought that he was used to speaking only to women. Certainly on the subject of wo- man, her history, her disadvantages in the past her present capabilities and her future, he was wonderfully familiar.

4s ~ GREAT SENSATION
 IN THE EXCHANGE Cotton Dealings Passed the 1,OOO,0OO Bale Mark. THE WlLDEST EXCITEMENT Enormous outpour of Long Cotton Was the Immediate Cause ot Collapse
 and Failure of Price, Me-
 Cormick & Go.
THE WlLDEST EXCITEMENT

New York, May A-The market was one great sensation today. No official record for transactions was kept; but conserva- tive estimates place the aggregate of the days dealings at considerably above the million-bale mark. From the start to the finish of this most extraordinary session there was enormous outpoor of long cotton, supplemented by the most aggress- i've conduct on the part of the bears, who added largely to their short interest
 While the primary cause of the decline might be traced to the brilliant character of the crop advices from the cotton belt, the immediate reason for todays collapse was the tremendous selling for the account of a banking firm, originally very success ful on the long side of the account and for months quoted as the leading factor in the ups and downs of the market. This con- cern, Price, Mccormick & Co, failed today. 1Ae announcement of their inability to re- spond to calls for margins reached the ex- change at 12:S7 p. m., and immediately the market became vortex of excitement. This firm had for months dictated the price of cotton, the world over, with attention di- rected chiefly to the summer positions, and more especially to May and August con tracts. Today May contracts broke IS points; they sold down to S.4S. This was a decrease of 120 points from the high water mark. August broke to S.35, a decrease of 125 points from the best prices current when the firm that failed today appeared to be in absolute control of the market The de- crease on other positions generally 10 CAP points. There were rumors pointing to other suspensions. The close was at the lowest.

No definite negotiations will take place

the question of his authority shall be

China. Baron Noshli. stated that he
wished Investigation to be made Of Ii

lieved that Prince Ching was the only
man with authority in the premises.
The Associated Press representative
saw Prince Ching to-day. The prince
said that he trusted that In the i'm
mediate future everything would be
settled Satisfactorily. He thought the
treatment OF Pekin unnecessarily cruel.
especially as regards private property.
He had come to Pekin. he said. with
full authority from the emperor to OBJ
tain peace by any necessary sacrifice.
but felt sure that the generosity of the
powers would not exact anything de-
grading to the dignity Of China or en-
crcaching upon Chinese territory. and
hoped within a month to see the har-
vest gathered and homes being rebuilt.
Prince Ching thinks a great blow has
been given Chinese commerce, but does
not believe the loss to the city Is irre-
parable. and a far more magnificent
one may arise from the ashes.
