The Cotton Markets.
NEW YORK COTTON MARKE,

New York, April 25.-rhe cotton mar
ket opened steady at las points lower
and further declined Il point or two on
unsatisfactory cables and better
weather conditions. The market ruled
quiet with trading very light and prin-
cipally of professional scalping char
acter. The decline was arrested by
light foreign buying following more
conservative estimates as 10 port re-
ceipts in the near future. There was
also some support from Wall street.
and the very light receipts also helped
to brace the market up. In the late
afternoon session there was some buy
ing on the statement issued by Ellison,
the recognized English authority on
cotton, but the close was quiet at net
unchanged to points lower.

ELECTION RETURNS.


We write too early to speak of details
in the national election,-the only GER
tainties at this hour being the glorious
certainty of the election of Mckinley and
Rooseveldt by an over whelming major
ity.-and the probable POLITICAL finale
Of William ]. Bryan. /. There is in this
election even room for satisfaction to
the democrats. There were thousands
of democrats who supported Bryan as
the choice of evils. They voted with
Bryan but have very little sympathy with
his radical and extreme ideas. Thou
sands of other Democrats who really
sympathized with Bryan and believed in
him fully, can still console themselves
with the thought that things generally
are not in very bad shape and that there
will be no radical changes.
There was wide spread fear that the
possibility Of Bryan's election meant al
most revolution in all things political
and financial-and even majority of
those who thought these changes desir-
able, or even necessary, could but view
the operation with something of the
same sensation as visit to the dentist or
surgeon. As to the republicans, they
did view the possibility Of Bryan's elect
ion with apprehension. and would have
been honestly alarmed at possible busi-
ness and commercial disaster if Mr..
Bryan had been given opportunity to
carry out his financial theories.

COUNTY TICKET.

The PIONEER ExrREss is able to give
complete returns from the county as well
as to furnish supplements to several
other county papers. Our thanks are
due to our very many friends who have
so kindly and promptly sent US the
figures. At this time we can only say
that while there are and must be many
personal disappointments in any political
race, yet the officers elect, are all good
men irrespective Of party affiliations and
mostly reelected after satisfactory prev
ious term in office.
Mr.. Kneeshaw got handsome send.
of from his home county which elects
him over Spencer. Pembina city made
g handsome republican gain.
One Of the regrets is the defeat of ]. p.
Hicks as Commissioners. 1t Is thought
he was the victim of bad judgment on
the part Of friends.
The vote on Martin and Alexander is
somewhat close. Il shown II least that

che British troops to the south gate.
while the japanese and Russians oper
ated against the cast gate. What was
most noticeable in the Japanese report
was that the Japanese killed are given at
100 and the Chinese killed at 100. This
makes no account of the wounded and
indicates that when the detailed casualty
list is received it will be Il heavy one,
as the wounded always far exceed the
killed. Furthermore, the report states that
the loss of the allies had not been aseer-
tanned. This is the first intimation that
there We're losses other than those sus-
tanned by the japanese. The entire tenor
of the report indicates that the engag ge-
ment was fierce one, lasting through
out the day IF Aug. 10. as the attack be-
gan early in the morning, and the blow
ing up of the gates did not occur until
nightfall
Even with the Chinese capital occupied
by the allied forces, it is realized that
there is still serious business for the
forces inside the city. While they have
preached the outer walls, which encrcle
the entire city. yet there are walls within
walls, and it remains to be seen whether
an attempt will be made to enter the
imperial city. forming distinct section
of Peking proper. The inner walls are
comparatively light, however. not being
above 20 feet high, and the military au-
thorities say they crnnOt Withstand even
light artillery if there was any dispose
tion to BREACH them. Moreover, as the
allied troops have preached the great
outer wall, 10 feet high and far more
formidable than the inner walls. they
would have comparatively little difficulty
in moving where the commanders de-
sired inside the city.
Aside from the question of the with
drawal of the troops from China, there
is the further question of the withdrawal
of troops from Picking. Both of these
questions are for the present in abey
ance, pending definite news from Genera
Chaffee and Minister Conger. Certainly
there can be no immediate withdrawal
from Peking, and the government is vet
to learn what plans will be devised for
escorting the legationcrs and the several
thousand native Christians to the coast.

Wilkinson is Much Married.

Dover, Del, Aug. l9.-Elbert G. Pack
ard, father of DIR. Howard NJ. Wilkn.
sons wife, and the elopirg sister, is
firmly convinced that Wilkinson has
used the argument with the girl that his
marriage to her sister Nellie Was not
binding, as he had destroyed the mar
riage certificate and there was no legal
barrier to their becoming man and wife.
He did destroy the certificate, but as the
marriage was performed here in the
presence Of many witnesses, by Rev. S.
n. Pilchard, chaplain U. S. A., the
brides uncle, his claim is ridiculous and
was only used to influence the girl.
The feeling here against Wilkinson
among his former friends is very bitter.
Were he to arrive without a guard he
would assuredly receive a coat of tar and
feathers, and though Mr.. Packard, the
father, says very little beyond II just
want TO meet him. it is feared he will
shoot him on sight. Nothing that has
happened in this little State in years has
caused SO widespread sensation as this
elopement.
Tonight story is going the rounds
that Wilkinson, when a student in the
West, clandestlnely married young girl,
whom he deserted. The authorities will
investigate this story also.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. l9.-Howard M.
Wilkinson and his wife's sister, Miss
Josephine Packard who eloped from
Dover, Del, last week declare they will
not live apart. Detective BERNARD j. Nc
Ney OF Delaware will be here soon
with requisition papers from. the
Governor of Delaware. 1t is thought
that the Governor of Georgia, will honor

may be on their way back to Delaware

week.
At the request Of P. L. Cooper, Jr.,
Deputy Attorney General of Delaware,
Chief OF Police Jennin's found Wilkin-
son and Miss Packard last night in a
room on Peach Tree street. They were
living as man and wife.

asked Josephine to marry then, but she
was so self.sacrifcing she would not coz

watched our marriage in tears. We haye
been planning this elopement for a
month. Her parents knew of our affec-
tions, and my wife appealed to them to
prevent our meeting. She was forbidden
to come to my house or place of busi-
ness. About month ago she wrote me
and told me she would commit suicide;
that she was dying by inches, and would
drown herself if did not take her away.
The notes that were interchanged be.
tween us were carried by the servant.
Il then only did what nine men out of
ten would do under similar circums-
tances. She stopped off with her bag
gage Saturday night, and as my wife was
at the seashore had no trouble leaving.

Ter. owing to the blockade Of ice In the
gulf of re=chi.li il was known that it
would be impractieahlp to transport sup
plies to be landed al Iaku, and unless
some other port could be found the sup
plies would have 10 be shipped within the
next 3D days iii order to be landed. The
war department has received information
that there is an open port during the
winter ut shan Hai-Kuan, near LinYu.
Supplies can bc landed by tugs and light
ers at this port during the entire year
and can be sent by rail to Il point oppo-
site Taku, the railroad connecting With
the same road that runs from Taku
through Tien-tsin and on toward Peking.
The commissary department has ascer-
tanned that sufficient quantities of fresh
beef can be sent TO supply the troops all
winter, which was one of the doubtful
questions when the matter was first CON
sidercd. Tho port of Sha-EIa- Kuen is
the one selected by the Germans for
landing the troops now on the way to

Washington, Aug. 19.-The govern
mcnt, now fully satisfied by the advices
in hand that the international troops
have entered peking and that the Legal
tiens are saved, is calmly awaiting de
tailed statements from its own officers
an the ground. Dispatches We're reeeiE-
Ga from General Barry ut Chetu and
Consul General GuOdnow at Shanghai
repeating the main fact of the capture
and relief Neither General Ghattce nor
Admiral Remey was heard from, now

American commander at Peking. that the
government looks for advices, not Qnly
on what has occurred. but Gn the local
developments from which an lnttiilScht
determination can lie made Of what stlll
remains to be DONE
The president, Secretary Root Acting
Secretary of State Adee, Acting Secre-
tary of the Navy Hackett and other oil-
cials were i'll conference. 1t was stated
afterward that no additional details had
come concerning Peking, and it was ul-
derstood that the conference had to do
particularly with the situation at Shang-
hal. Word reached the navy department
Saturday afternoon that the United
States cruiser New Orleans had reached
Shanghai, at which point British war
ships and transports are already in force,
while the French, Russians and Ger
mans are hurrying their men to the same
destination. The American government
so far has kept quite out of this entan-
clement, and in view of the reported
landing of troops by some of the powers
it was stated authoritatively that the
landing of American troops never had
been contemplated.

ing Of the British forces had occurred,
and it was probable that this would be
followed by the landing of German and
French forces. AS these several forces
had as the ostensible purpose of their
landing the maintenance of peace and
ORDER it is not assumed to be likely that
any disorder can arise out Of the course
pursued. AS IA result of the conferences
held it is believed that il dispatch was
forwarded to the commander Of the New
Orleans advising him of the course to be
pursued.
The general situation at Shanghai caus-
ed by the proposed landing of British
troops and the protests of Germany and
France continues to be strained, al
though the authorities are rather more
hopeful of satisfactory adjustment than
heretofore. The state department does
not treat the matter as at all grave, but
regards it rather as Il misunderstanding,
one side holding that British activity Is
confined to Shanghai, while the other
insists that this activity is designed to
cover the whole Yang-tse region. One
of the diplomatic officials who has been
most active in the affair said that in any
event there could be no serious rupture,
for even if troops were landed 1t would
increase the security and order prevail
ing. Ii seems to be accepted that if the
British troops landed, German and French
and possibly Russian troops also will
land. Abont 100 French troops have
arrived at IIongkong. destined for Shans-
hal. and German ships are now on then
way to the same point
The general policy of this government
toward China heretofore has been made
known both to General Chaffee and to
Minister Congcr, and il WAS stated au'
thoritatively that there was no necessity
of sending these officials additional in
strllctions on the subject. The fact is
emphasized by administration officials
thar the policy of this government Is
succinctly stated in Secretary Hays note
of July 3 and that nothing can be added
now to that document except an elabora
ton Of the points therein stated
General Yamnguchi's Dispatch.
The dispatch from General Yamaguchi
giving the details of the capture of Pc
king, was accepted by the war depart
ment officials as giving the most salts
