VOLUME DIMINISHED.

trade says: \ holiday reduced the
volume of legitimate business. while
speculative operations were serious

a healthy market, and some jobbers

spite more activity In the market for
cotton goods and placing of Govern
ment contracts, the staple shows no
great strength. Although unsettled In

SAMPSON HAS APHASlA.
Precise Nature Of His Nervous Ailmen
Dlscovered-He VIII Testify.

All doubt as to whether Admiral
Sampson will or will not attend the
Court Of Inquiry as witness was re-
moved Wednesday when Captain
Lemley, the Judge Advocate. received
n letter from Mrs. Sampson. She de-
clared that the Admiral will surely
come. A special dispatch from Lake
Sunapee says that the Admiral's afflc-
ton Is asphasia, the most notable
symptom of which Is the inability OF
the patient to find words with which
- cypress his ideas. Before the Ad-
mlral left the Boston navy yard his
weakness in this regard became no.
tlceable in his efforts to prepare Of
fetal documents. The fact that Mrs.
sampson wrote the letter lis taken
to mean that she has relieved him OF
all he work of his correspondence.
