co1LhPsE IN COTTON.
Decline of One Hundred and Twenty
Points During the Day.

Decline OF One hundred ana twenty
Points During the Day.
NEW YORK. May 24.-The cotton
market was one great sensation to-day.
No official record of the transactions
was kept, but conservative estimates
placed the aggregate Of the days deal
Ings at considerably above the million
bale mark. From the start to the fin
ish Of this most extraordinary session
there was one enormous outpour Of long
cotton, supplemented by the most aG-
gressive conduct on the part of bears
who added largely to their short inter-
est. While the primary cause OF the de-
cline might be traced to the brilliant
character Of the crop advIces from the
cotton belt, the Immediate reason Gor
to-day's collapse was the tremendous
selling for the account of banking
firm, originally very successful on the
long side of the account and for months
quoted as the leading factor In the ups
and downs OF the market.
Market Vortex of Excitement.
This concern, Price, Mccormick &
Company, failed to-day. The announce
ment of their inability to respond to
callsrfor margins reached the exchange
ut 1887 p. M. and Immediately the mar
ket became a vortex Of excitement. This
firm had for months dictated the price
Of cotton the world over. with attention
directed chiefly to the summer positions
and more especially to May and August
contracts. To-day May contracts broke
rs points; they sold down to S,4s, This
was decline of l2O points from the high
water mark. August broke to S,Sj,a de-
cline OF 1876 points from the best prices
current when the firm that failed to-day
appeared to be in absolute control OF the
market. The decline on other positions
was general 10 to 4S points. There were
rumors pointing to other suspensions.

Special Dispatch TO the IntellIgonesF.
PARKERsBURG. ". Va, May a.
The Indictment of Mayor Turner. end
ex-councilman Moore by the grand jury
yesterday, is the cause Of much axclte-
ment. The mayor. when seen to-day
Indignantly denied his guilt, and seem-
ed confident that he would be proven in-
nocent. He said: ''In the outset, want
to emphatlcally deny that am mixed
up in the case as the indictment indi-
Gates. am certain will have no trou-
BILE in showing my entire innocence, Of
any Of the charges set forth in the in-
formation furnished by Grier."
He then detailed the action OF tha
council on the Deering matter at vaEis
GUS meetings.
Ex-Councilman Moore was as strong
in his claims as was tho mayor, and
stated that he would prove he never ao-
cepted bribe.
Turner is the "reformer." who defeat
ed the Republicans two years ago, by
ante-electlon promises, which he has
failed to keep.

Allen and Pettigrew-Baeon Re
plies to Platt.
WASHINGTON. May 24,-Thc duty Of
the United States towards its island
possessions was the subject of heated
discussion in the senate again to-day.
Soon after the senate convened, Mr..
Bacon, of Georgia, began an extended
reply to the speech Of Mr.. Platt, deliV-
cred yesterday. His speech was largely
supplemental to that which he deliver
ed several days ago, demanding an In
yestIGation OF Cuban financial affairs.
His resolution to which there is little
or no opposition, under the rules, went
to the committee on contingent ex-
penses.
The remainder of the afternoon was
occupied by Mr.. spooner, of Wisconsin
in concluding his speech on the Philip
pine question. The debate which he
aroused took a turn decidedly political.
He charged the so-called anti-imperial-
lists with creating an issue which was
not legitimate. Many Of his statements
were controverted by Mr. Allen, of Ne
braska, and Mr.. Pettlgrew. Of South
Dakota, and the controversy at times
became almost parsonal.

ton. Mr.. Crosby said in opening the
meeting:
"1n Cuba one of our fellow citizens
from Indiana is accused of taking all the
postal funds he could lay his hands on.
Better the island be robbed by Spain
than by an American and friend Of
Senator Beveridge. Were Washington
alive to-day he would find himself more
at home in the camp Of Aguinaldo than
in the camp Of Otis. We cannot but
admire the courage Of AguInaldo and
his men who have been fighting for
o'Ferrall Was Very Bitter.
Capt. o'Ferrall, who stumped the
country for Mckinley In 1895, was very

the character Of the republic In the
eyes of the world" and that the lmper-
ialIstic policy II persisted in, will in
evitably bring about the overthrow Of
our democratic institutions" recite the
history of our relations with the Fill
pinos and declare that "the betrayal of
our allies constitutes one of the basest
acts Of pertidy and cruel inhumanity
ever perpetrated by any tyrant In the
history Of the world" The resolutions
continue:
Want the War Stopped.
Resolved. That 1t is the plain duty
of the American people to stop the
bloody war against the FilipInos, to
recognize their right and title to free
dom and independence on the same
basis on which we have recognized the
right Of the Cubans. and to withdraw
our armed forces from these islands as
soon as they may no longer be needed
to assist and protect the people thereof
in setting up and maintaining an In
dependent government.
"Resolved, That the question of I'M
perialism overshadows In Importance
all other public questions that the ap-
proval or disapproval of the imperial
istic policy pursued by the present
administration should be the supreme
issue in the coming national election,
and that all American citizens having
the good name and the best interests
Of our country and the integrity and
perpetuity OF our free institutions at
heart should unite in an earnest effort
to secure the condemnation OF that
policy and the sternest possible rebuke
OF It's authors and promoters by de-
cIsive popular vote"
