Julian Hawthorne, the celebrated
author and newspaper writer, who has
been in Galveston the past week writ
ing for an Eastern paper, passed
through New Orleans last Friday on
his way back East. He gives it as his
opinion that Galveston will never be
rebuilt again. He says the inhabitants
are leaving at the rate of 400 on each
train. He says there is we'll founded
plan to remove the entire city to Brazos
river, some so miles away, where there
is a safe landlocked harbor. The only
property interests there in favor of re-
building the city, according to Mr..
Hawthorne, are the wharf and the
Huntington properties.

Bradstreet's weekly report publish
ed last Saturday, says: Raw cotton
and cotton goods have parted company
as to prices this week. The rush of
buyers to secure stocks has advanced

OIL cottons, while materially reducing
stocks in hands of commission men
and jobbers. Most manufacturers are
refusing to take orders ahead except
''at value" based upon the cost Of raw
material. Southern yarn spinners are
reported curtailing operations, and the
English spinners are in an especially
bad situation, owing to small supplies
and high prices Of the raw material.
The Berliner Tagblatt, in the course
Of an inspired article last Friday, said:
Russia, France and the United States
have not yet answered the German
note. The answers received will not
be published now, in order to avoid the
impression that they are intended to
play off one power against the other.
Frances formal answer, although the
French opinions so far heard are fav-
orable, will depend upon Russia's
which 1t is here surmised will be delay
ed. With respect to the offer of the
Chinese government to send a special
mission to Berlin TO express regret for
the murder Of Baron Won Ketteler,
can say that this may be accepted Ia
ter. At present we have no diplomatic
relations with China"
The poll Of Chicago completed by
Hearst's Chicago American and an
nounced a few days ago, gives the city
to Bryan by over $4,000. Cook coun-
ty Democratic committees poll con-
firms the Americans closely. when
we began to take the poll, about 10
days ago. said one of the leaders the
would be able to see a plurality Of
5000 to $4,000 votes in Chicago, which
would be sufficient to overcome the
Republican plurality in the country
towns outside Of Chicago and insure
the safety Of the county ticket. We
have been utterly surprised by the re-
suits that we have found thus far.
We shall carry the city by nearly
three times the plurality we expected"
That Governor Roosevelt has a
strong pull with the cowboys Of the
wild and woody West, there is no rea-
sonable ground for dispute. The COVER
nor went to Salt Lake City, Utah, one
day last week, and was met at the de-
pot by company of $50 mounted cow
boys. They had brought along bron-
cho for Roosevelt, and mounting 1t, the
governor placed himself at the head
of the company. Then commenced a
wild gallop through the city and out on
the plain. The gallop lasted an hour,
to the great delight of the cowboys. At
ter the gallop the governor repaired
to the platform that had been erected
for speechmaking and made talk that
was enthusiastically received. The fact
that Roosevelt was once a cowboy,
goes long way with the rougher ele-
ment Of the West. With the cowboys,
campaign issues do not count.
A fresh battle for the millions left
by A. T. Stewart is to be commenced
in the supreme court Of New York

have been collecting evidence for the

tion on both sides Of the Atlantic. and
the attorneys assert that they have
overwhelming proof to establish the
kinship of their client to the dead mill
lionaire. The petition for the probate
Of the will of A. T. Stewart declared
that he had no heirs, and the failure to
prove the falsity Of this statement has
resulted in the setting aside by the
courts Of the claims made by previous
contestants. In the coming litigation,
however, there will figure prominently
an autograph letter of A. T. Stewart,
the authenticity Of which, it is claimed,
is established by unquestionable evil
dence. in which he acknowledges the
kinship of a certain nephew several
years before his death. This nephew,
though of advanced age, is still hale
and hearty, and will be one of many
witnesses called.
