Frankfort, Ky. April 21.-EX-Con-
gresham David g. Colson. who has
been on trial here for the last four
days for the murder of Lieutenant
Ethelbert Scott and Luther w. Luth-
er, w. Demaree, was acquitted this at
ternoOn. The jury was out only eigh-
teen minutes. Although it was long
after the usual time for adjournment
large part of the crowd remained
in the court room. waiting for a re-
port from the jury room. "After being
out fifteen minutes knock on the
door summoned Sheriff Baker to the
jury room. He responded and re-
ported to Judge Herndon that the
judy was ready to come into court
There was no demonstration when
Circuit Clerk Ford finished reading
the verdict, which read: I'VE. the
judy find the defendant not guilty"
As the last words of the prayer We're
read the crowd arose and sent up q
wild cheer. Colonel Colson, the de-
PENDANT, was standing near the wit
ness chair. The crowd took no notice
of the court officers who pounded Wig
orously for order but piled over the
on shaking hands with him. They
gave an ovation to the jury and Colo
mel James Andrew Scott, Colson s
chief counsel. The cheering kept up
till Colonel Colson left the court room,
and as he did so, it was taken up by
the Beckham soldiers in front of the
court house to which the Colonel very
gracefully returned salute.

Rivera Will Probably Resign,

Havana, April 21.-General Ruis Ri
vera, Secretary of Agriculture, had
long interview with General Wood today
regarding the letter which he wrote. urg-
ing union of political parties and
UNANIMOUS demand of independence by the
end of 1901. General Rivera will prob
ably resign early next week from his Of
fetal position.
The Cubano predicts that the remain
ing secretaries will do likewise as it
recognized that General Rivera holds a
powerful influence. Other secretaries
who have been seen, however, say that
the resignation of the Secretary of Ag-
riculture will not affect them. They give
it as their belief that the national party
will be benefited by General Rivera's
resignation, as his official position has
hampered his usefulness as campaigner.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 21.-The stock mark
ct took on an appearance of general liqui-
dation before the conclusion of the Sat
urday short session. Stocks were thrown
over in large blocks and the whole list
broke badly, the general range of prices
of most of the important active
stocks falling to a level from
to points under last nights
close. In many instances the loss
exceeds these figures. The results of
yesterdays meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the American Steel and Wire
Company were very different from what
Wall Street had persuaded itself they
would be. The confirmation of the chair
mans assertion of over production in the
company's lines and the decision to cut
prices was not to be construed as re-
pudiation and contradiction of the acts
and gloomy predictions of Chairman

HAVEN AND SHOUTS COTTON LETTE

New York, n Y, April 21.-The cotton
market has been rather dull since the ter
mination of the Easter holidays, but there
has been a strong tone, and while little
activity is shown on the bull side, the
sentiment of the trade is generally in
favor of higher prices for old crop posi-
tons. The small movement of cotton and
the fact that the visible supply is decreas
ing rapidly attracts renewed attention.
In fact statistically, the conditions sur
rounding cotton are the strongest that
have been seen for many years. Prepa-
rations for the new crop are backward,
and supplies from the growth of the com
ing season will probably be late in COM
ing on the market, which also has some
effect, and in conjunction with the large
short interest in the Fall and Winter
months has given a strong tone to the
trading in then ew crop deliveries. On

New Gold Strike Near Cape Nome.

Seattle, Wash, April 21.--1he
steamer Cottage City has arrived
from SkagIay. She brings five men
who left Cape Nome on January gath,
ten days after the latest previous in
formation. They bring story of u
new strike across the divide one hum
dred miles east of Nome. The strike
was made on small creek. The first
several pans ran about $25 to $50. AS
bedrock was scraped the amount
reached $40. Great excitement fol-
lowed. A stampede has taken place
from Nome, but only those who were
foot loose took part in it, the rest be-
lieving that they had as good property
as they wanted. Mr.. Morgan said to-
day:
Cape Nome and the contiguous
country is richer than people have es-
timated. 1t will be this summer the
greatest mining camp the world has
ever seen"
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-04-22

the other hand the market has on the
whole lacked enthusiasm.
1T is pointed out that the condition of
the cotton goods trade is quiet, and that
in spite of the probability that very lit
tie old cotton will be carried over to the
next year, there is no evidence that spin
ners have not fully supplied their require
ments. A disposition is consequently
shown to await development regarding
the first stages of the new crop. Another
circumstance which had more or less eff
feet was the sharp depression of indus
trial stocks, which apparently necessitat-
ed some temporary liquidations of spec
ulative accounts in cotton. Selling from
this cause was quite apparent in the mar
ket on Tuesday and Wednesday, and it
cannot be said that there is at present
much outside interest OF any kind in
cotton positions.
Liverpool this week has shown little
frmer tone for both spots and futures,
although the buying from that quarter
is by no means eager, and there is little
speculative interest in the trading there.
Spots of Southern points are firmly held,
and owners of actual cotton show little
uncertainty about the probable higher
range of values resulting from the small
supplies and enlarged consumption.

MURDER IN THE FROZEN NORTH.
Mysterious Crime in the Norton Bay Country.
The Esquimauxs' Story.

Seattle, WASH, April 21.-Nome
newspapers of January 18th, which
reached here today, contain story OF
a sensational murder and death from
starvation in the Norton Bay country,
ID. NJ. Kaiser, William w. Wright,
with two partners. named Scott anu
HAYNES. left Seattle May 21st, 1898,
on the bark Highland Light, went to
St. Michael, and in August started for
Norton Bay. The men quarreled from
time to time.
According to testimony of the Es-
ouimaux natives their boat entered
the mouth of Egalotalill Creek. The
men went up the river about two
DAYS travel. Wright and Scott are
said to have disappeared over divide,
presumably making for the Yukon
River. Wright's body was sewed up
by Kaiser in sleeping bag and bur-
led. April 10th. 1899, Kaisier, who
seems to have found himself alone,
was attacked by scurvy and died.
Haynes later showed up at Nome.
and is said to have told the story that
Scott killed Wright and then skipped
out, and Kaiser died while he. Haynes,
was taking him to ST. Michaefs.
Deputy United States Marshal
Crowdy has returned to Nome from
Norton Bay, where he investigated the
entire case and succeeded in finding
the bodies of Wright and Kaiser. The
natives also told him in the fight be-
tween Wright and Scott Haynes had
also been shot and killed. The fact
Of Haynes death is denied by Nome
people who say positively that he
worked on the beach last summer and
later is believed to have returned to
the United States. The Nome news
papers go so far as to advance the
theory that Haynes had a hand in
the murder of Wright and say that
Scott having disappeared Haynes
may also have killed him.
Wright and Kaiser come from Gov
ington, Va, as the representatives OF
the Nirginia-Alasla Mining Company.
Scott came from San Francisco.

Gates made on Monday Yesterdays ru-
pany, the ousting of the chairman and
the installing of H. G. Frick had all
been dissipated when the stock exchange
opened this morning. The effect was seen
in a sharp break in all the iron industrials
on the opening transactions. 1t reached
points in steel and wire and nearly
that in others. The general list gave way
in sympathy, but met with powerful sup
port. The steel stocks rallied with the
rest of the market on covering by shorts,
but it soon became evident that the sup
port accorded the market was simply to
afford an opportunity for realizing. Liqui-
dation set in on a large scale. Stocks
which have been "bulled" had the heav-
lest weight to carry on account or specu-
lative profit taking. Missouri Pacific and
Baltimore and Ohio were conspicuous in
that class, the former falling 3B and the
latter 23s. Declines reaching up to 2
points were numerous all through the
railroad and industrial list and in several
stocks exceeded that. The bears were
disposed to cover on the appearance OF
favorable bank statement, but the rally
renewed the pressure to liquldate and
prices fell to the lowest. Losses were:
American Steel and Wire, GA; Federal
Steel. 5; American Steel Hoop, preferred,
4; Republic Iron and Steel, preferred, 312
American Steel Hoop, National Steel and
Tennessee Coal and Iron, g. Losses else
where in the group ran up to IA. There
were some spasmodic rallies on the TAX
ing of quick profits by the bears, but the
activity and general weakness continued
up to the close.
The bond market has not kept up to
the full level of activity and strength but
strong points have persisted in it all
week. United States SIS, old As and IS
registered declined u, and registered
coupon "a in the bid price. The new AS
advanced l per cent.
