 COTTON POLICY Market Opened Quiet and One
 to Two Points Lower SOUTH INCLINED TO SELL Speculation DulIer Than 1t Has Been in Many Weeks-LiVerpool Ad- vaneed on Government Reports
 and Poor Crop Conditions.
SOUTH INCLINED TO SELL

New York, June 3.-Cotton speculation has not in weeks been so dull as that of today. Business from every quarter was that sold out recently purchased around the opening and broke prices several points-then turned for cover and stead jed the market almost to Saturdays clos ing. There was little or nothing in the way of investment support, and the south was more inclined to sell than buy. The opening was quiet, with prices about 1 to points lower, this being in strong contrast with the cables and crop and weather news. Liverpool advanced sharp ly on a general movement to cover. prompted by poor crop conditions named by the government last Friday, and the continued rains throughout the belt east of the ississippi river. The crop reports received noted "spotty' conditions, poor stands, little cultivation and need for re- planting. At noon the market was weak down to 1.7s, August to FPS and October to 7.1s. Later room covering and some Wall street business was slim and main ly in the way of settlements. Poor re- ports from spinner centers and dull trade accounts from Manchester, with heavy port receipts, were the factors upon which room bears based their belief in a lower market The close was quiet and steady, with prices net to points lower.

New York, June 3.-Commercial-A -Adver- tiser's London financial cablegram:
 The tone of the stock market today was good and business was considerable better than on recent days of stagnation. However, 1t was in the American depart ment that activity was most marked. and these shares furnished the bulk of the business. The buying of Americans went on steadily throughout the session, Buy ing for the American account was feat ure early, but sagged off somewhat to- ward the close. Prices rallied as result of buying on the curb after the exchange closed. The favorites were Erie and the Southern Pacific. Predictions were made that a dividend of per cent would be declared on the common stock next month.
 Consols hardened on hopes of lower ing bank rate. The Bank of England bought EST 900 in bars. oney ruled shade easier at 2A on call. .,

INSTANTANEOUS DEATH
OF EX-GOVERNOR WAITE

Denver, Nov. 2S.-A Denver News
special. dated at Aspen, Colo, Novem-
Der 9th, says:
Ex-Governor Davis H. Waite died at his
home in this city, corner of Second and
Francis streets, at 8 o'clock this morn
ing.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
aged ex-governor has been in failing
health for some months, no such sud
den termination of his life was ex-
pected. and the shock to the communi-
ty was severe.
The ex-governor was sitting in the
kitchen, peeling apples and conversing
with his wife. He appeared to be
more than usually cheerful. and in ex-
cellent spirits. He suddenly stopped
in the middle of n sentence, glanced ap-
pealingly mt Mrs. Waite, gasped con-
vulsively and fell upon lounge
While awaiting the arrival of physi-
clan, trained nurge administered Il
hypodermic injection of digitalis to in
crease heart action, but all to no avail
and the venerable statesman passed
peacefully away n few minutes later
without regaining consciousness. Not
trace of pain was visible. and in
death a smile wreaths the lips and
gives evidence that there was no sting
in the king of terrors.
No definite funeral arrangements
have been made, as word is being
awaited from Mrs. Mary Garrison, the
governors only living child, who is
now in Kansas City. Mrs. Garrison
was recently here to visit her father
In all probability the interment will
be Saturday, Rev. Mr.. Ellis of the
Methodist Church conducting the
funeral service.
The immediate cause of the death of
Ex-Governor Waite was paralysis. He
had one paralytic stroke in March and
another in May. and it was generally
recognized by his family and friends
that the third would prove fatal. He
was seventy-six years of age.

Hahn's Peak Railway Extension

Denver, Nov. ga Laramie. Wy
oming, special to the Denver News
says:
The directors of the Laramie, Hahn's
Peak x Pacific railway Company have
decided upon the immediate extension
of that line seventy miles beyond Cen
tennial the end of the first division,
and thirty miles west of Laramie The
contract for the construction of the
100 miles of the grade has been award
ed to Niles Callahan of Omaha, who
has two-thirds of the first division COM
pleted. The contractor expects, with
the average winter weather of this
section. to have his grade completed to
Gold Hill before spring. President
Van Horn. in letter to Vice Presi-
dent Miller of Laramie, says the sales
of common stock have given the COM
pany funds to build and equip the road
and that it will begin business without
dollar of Indebtedness. The route
will take in the Douglas Creek dis
trict, Gold Hill and almost certainly
Saratoga, beyond which point there is
no absolute certainty, although it will
probably go to Encampment, BATTLE
Lake, Baggs and Steamboat Springs.
This sudden and certain action on the
part of the company is supposed to be
due to the announcement that the
Union Pacific contemplates building
into the Encampment country next
wear,

MRS. NATIONS HATCHET
CUTS MARRIAGE TIE

Medicine Lodge, Kan, Nov. 2S.-Da-
vid *. Nation was yesterday granted n
divorce from his wife, Mrs. Carrie Ma
ton, .'the joint smasher." The court
eNonerated Mrs. Nation from the charge
of cruelty to her husband and divided
the property. The Medicine Lodge
home will go to Mr.. Nation and outly-
ing property to his wife.
In reply to questions of the court,
Mrs. Nation said that one reason she
fought the proceedings was that she
wished to continue to share the pension
money drawn by her husband. Mr.
Nation, in support of his petition for
divorce, cited n letter from his wife in
which she had denounced him as a
''hell-bound hypocrite" He charged
that she did not attend to his wants.
Judge Gillett granted the divorce on
the ground of gross neglect of duty.
When Mrs. Nation first started out on
her career of joint smashing a year
ago, Mr.. Nation seemed to be in SYM
pathy with her raids. But when she
spent all of her time away from home
crusading or serving sentences in jail
for destroying property. he went to the
home of his daughter in Indiana and
lived. He was Mrs. Nations second
husband and was nearly seventy years
old. The couple had lived together for
many years.

MAY BE A SCHEME FOR
SMUGGLING CHINESE

San Francisco, Nov. 2S.-According
to the Mexican Parliamentary Chron-
icle the minister of public works and
colonization of Mexico has commended
for passage by the Congress of his
portant bearing on the Chinese immi-
grafton question. 1t is a bill granting
a concession to NJ. f. Tarpey, John E.
Bennett or any company they may
form. giving them the entire fishing
privileges of the Mexican coast ON the
Pacific ocean, contingent on their
building and operating a steamship
line between Mexico and China and
another line for coast trade.
The company is to be free from tax
alton of any kind and is to be allowed
to land passengers anywhere on the
Mexican coast, which is more than
1000 miles in extent.
In January of this year Mr.. Tarpey,
who is a well-known politician, was
president of the Pacific Charter Com
Dany. that claimed to have secured
concessions from the Mexican govern
ment to establish steamship lines be
tween Mexico and China for the pur-
pose of colonizing the Mexican repub7
lie with 100000 coolie laborers, many
of whom it was feared might cross
into the United States.
John e. Bennett is the attorney for
: the Chinese consulate in this city, and
which the Mexican Congress is asked
to grant to him and his associates are
similar to those the Pacific Charter

Wonderful Orchids.

j. G. Siegfried of Alameda, Califor-
mia, is the owner of the finest collec-
ton of Philippine orchids in this coun-
try. They have been kept in n private
conservatory, which has only lately
been opened to the public. In the va
rious hothouses of his botanical gar

orchid plants, and their commercial
value is approximately 100000. For
upward of fifteen years he has been

east of Seneca, the second station we9t
of Adrian. The westbound train, COLTS
posed of two cars loaded with emf
grants and five other coaches, was
smashed and burned. with awful loss
of life and fearful injuries to ma
jority of its passengers. The east
bound passenger train the Continental
Limited, suffered in scarcely less de-
gree.
The track in the vicinity of the
wreck is strewn with dead and dying.
Many physicians from Detroit have
gone to the scene.
The Continental Limited, the east
bound train, was driven by Engineer
Strong and was in charge of Conduc-
tor G.. J. Martin.
The westbound emigrant train was
double-header and was driven by En-
gineer Work with Engineer Parks, the
conductor being Charles Toll. The
eastbound train, it is believed, dis
obeyed orders in not waiting at Seneca
for the westbound train, thereby caus-
ing the wreck.
The track at the point where the col
lision occurred was straight, and at
first the officials could not understand
how the accident could have happened.
The westbound train, which ordinarily
is due TO leave Detroit at 2:30 o'clock,
was two hours late, leaving Mt D. m.
The two trains are scheduled to meet
at Montpelier, Ohio, but, as stated,
had been ordered to meet at Seneca.
The blame is, therefore, placed on the
conductor of engineer of the east
bound train. as the accident would not
have occurred had this train been held
at Seneca. Apparently orders to wait
We're disobeyed. and the probabilities
are that the true story of why will
never be told, as the train crews un-
doubtediy met instant death.
Advices from the wreck tonight
state that the country for miles around
is lighted up by the burning cars and
that the flames could not be quenched
because of lack of proper apparatus.
Mangled bodies We're picked up along
the track by the farmers before the
special train sent from Adrian arrived
on the scene. In some instances the
bodies We're mangled beyond all rec
ognition.
All the immigrants ON the westbound
train are believed TO be Italians en-
route from New York west
The people on that train We're caught
like rats in trap and crushed. Then

President Roosevelt and Eugene San
dow, the strong man, have met. On
November 2nd, by appointment, the
Sunday World says, they conversed,
and the impressions the professional
received of the President are told by
him thus
He is wonderful! Wonderful! l
never saw such energy, such powerl l

but when he entered the room, bound
ed across the floor, gripped my hand.
looked into my eyes and greeted m&
doing all these things at once, l was
amazed.
81 have strong hand. Unconscious
ly sometimes when shaking hands l
grip ones fingers TOO firmly, perhaps,
but 1t would require some effort on my
part to use the force the President puts
forth when he shakes hands.
There was the quick, nervous grasp
about his handshake that told me it
was backed up by great physic9k
strength and tremendous energy.
His manner, his appearance-all H.
actions indicate power. At Il glance l,
or anyone, could tell that he was an
athlete. He looks like one. acts like
one, and l know he feels like one.
He has himself in splendid com
mand. He is sure of every one of his
muscles. He knows just what each can
do. He has tested them ana he gets
some form of exercise out of every one
of his actions.
II can imagine what his enthusiasm
would be in making n charge against
an enemy and how he could inspire
his men. On horseback l should deem
him lnvincible. And after looking at
the man l believe that there is not a
horse on earth that President Roose-
welt could not conquer. Tie horse
would feel. the moment Mr.. Roosevelt
grasped the bride, that his master
was in the saddle.
THE Presidents nerves need no
treatment. Probably they never will
need treatment. He knows the bene-
fit of exercise. 1t Is second nature to
him. and he will never give 1t up. And
so long as he exercises his nerves will
never trouble him. To know his
strength all you have to do is to look
at his neck and shoulders. Even in re-
pose his muscles stand out. Every
thing about him, in fact, indicates that
he is as sound as n young oak.
II must deal only with superlatives
in speaking of President Roosevelt's
physical makeup. His tremendous vi
tai energy and powerful build simply
make him n man of iron.
My mission is physical culture, and
that alone The athletic life that Pres
ident Roosevelt leads will do more to
advance physical culture and to raise
the physical standard of men and
women in America than all other infiu.~
eQces combined With such an adv1
cate as he-an advocate who himseS
exercises three hours each day-the'
cause must triumph

ne wreck caught fire and those who
vere not instantly killed We're slowly
toasted to death, none of the few spec

farm houses nearby being able to af-
ford aid. The whole immigrant train
was soon consumed by flames and ev-

along the track rushed in on the blaz-

Along the track long lines of burned

"Mr. Stearns said the cause of the
disaster was the msreading of his or

the train read the order rightly. He
