tiago on the 9th of May, before the
retrograde movement to Key West
was begun.
Admiral Cotton testified tn It he
had gone aboard Admiral Sehley's
flagship, the Brooklyn. on that date,
to take dispatches to him, and he said
at first that he gave him four or five
dispatches addressed to the comman-
der of the squadron. He afterwards
modified this statement, saying that
probably all but two of these dis
patches were addressed to himself
admiral Cotton, but that they con-
tanned information which he thought
should be in Admiral Schaey's posses
sion. One of these was a copy OF n
dispatch from Admiral Sampson.

sEAsoARD RUMoRs RIDIcuLED.
John Skelton Williams Says Report Is
 Without Foundation.

Richmond, Va, March 10.-President John Skelton Williams was asked today regarding the report published In a New York newspaper that the Seaboard Air Line system had been purchased by Au- gust Belmont and the Rothschilds. He ridiculed the story and said:
 '"rhe report that a controlling interest in the Seaboard Air Line system has been purchased by parties allied to the Louis vile and Nashville or any other system is an idle one and without foundation. I regret that newspapers should be will ing to frequently and periodically give currency to such reports. I and my i'm mediate associates own the controlling interest in the Seaboard. My financial interest in 1t today Is larger than 1t has ever been before The condition of the system Is stronger than ever and earnings are heavier than at any time in its past history. We are satisfied with the prop erty and intend to hold 1t, and operate it, and a controlling interest in the Seaboard Air Line system is not for sale to any body at any price,

Quotations for i'm perial and Prussian loans showed very small changes. Nevertheless all four per cent loans were firm upon a good demand from the public.

IN MEMORY OF

Celebration of Anniversary of
 Irish Patriots Birth
MAYOR JOHN DAILY SPOKE
He Thanked the Audience In Name of the Corporation of Limerick.
 Declined invitation to Meet 7 Queen Victoria.

New York, March 1o.-The one hundred and twenty-third anniversary of the birth of Robert Emmett, the Irish patriot mar tyr, was celegrated under the auspices of the Clan Ma Gael tonight by concert and mass meeting in the Academy of Music The oration was delivered by Mayor John Daily of Limerick, Ireland, who appeared on the platform with the gold links of office around his neck. The academy, which was decorated with the United States, Irish, Transvaal and Or ange Free State flags, was packed with enthusiastic Irish-Americans of both exes. who gave Mayor Daily a warm well come.
 MT. Daily, after thanking the audience in the name of the corporation of Linn sexes who gave Mayor Daly warm well cordial reception given him. said in part:
 You may realize the significance of Limerick's Mayor addressing you on this memorable occasion when you learn that he was invited to attend a meeting in honor of the Queen less than year ago. He did not accept that invitation, because Limericks Mayor, Limerick's people, or Limerick's corporation had no stomach for honoring England's Queen.
 Mayor Daly eulogized the services of Emmet and then turned his attention to scoring England for her treatment of Ireland and the South African Republics, saying:
 '+The Irish people today cannot take to the hillsides because they have no arms and the standing garrison is too power ful. There Is plenty of space in South Africa, and I tell you that the new gen. eration in Ireland possesses the spirit of rebellion, and the example set by the Boers has made them ready for the fray.
 Good men tell us that the only hope for Ireland is the burning of London I am not taking that job, because it is too big a one; but if there is any man who thinks he can go over and do in London what Kitchener is doing in the Trans vaal I will not try to stop him. believe that there is still hope for Ireland be- cause I know that the French govern ment has during the past five months stored away more coal than it has used for four years From this we may be- lieve they are going to make 1t hot for somebody"

ELks' STREET FAIR.
Will be Pan-American Exposition
 of Birmingham

The Elks' street fair to be held in the week of April 29 is already attracting widespread attention. It has been dubbed Birminghams Pan-American Exposition, and it will be so far superior to any oth- CT street fair ever held in the south that it may well be so termed.
 c. s. Simmons, chairman of the com mittee on booths and privileges, will be out with his staff today in the interest of the street exhibit.
 The transportation committee has asked all the railroads entering Birmingham to grant reduced rates to the city during the week of the fair. It is probable that the committee will be able to announce the cheap rates in few days.
 Five thousand sheets of printed matter have been received and the country Tor one hundred miles around the city will be billed in the next week or two.

TURKEYS SOLD ON THE HOOP.
rom the Mexican Herald.

From the Mexican Herald.
 Yesterday afternoon two turkey herders drove a flock of over thiry birds through the streets of Ortega and Tiburcio, leis- urely offering them for sale as they went along The men were hardly mountain specimens, the cut of their clothing show ing they had come from some distant pueblo. They carried whips, with short wooded stocks and long lashes, and when a customer hailed them from an adjacent zaguan they promptly rounded up the turkeys, caught the one designated by the tail and handed him over for exami- nation the result being that many Sun day dinners were bought, as it were, Ion the hoof."
