CONCERT OF POWERS
It Should Be Invoked to Secure
 Miss Stone's Release.
Bulgarian Boxers and Government Not Entitled to More Considera- ton Than the Mob Leaders
 Who Killed Kette1er.

The brigands who hold Miss Ellen M Stone, American missionary, in captivity refuse to be influenced by the government of Bulgaria, Turkey or the United States. Presumably they know what action has been taken by the several governments, and their answer to all appeals, to all orders, is that Miss Stone will be killed unless ransom of $11o,o0o is paid.
 If Miss Stone is held a prisoner through the connivance of the Mace donian committee or the Bulgarian government, it is fair to assume that she will not be killed. If a political purpose was served by her capture, the responsibility for her murder would rest with all associated with the intrigue. In such case the bri- gands are simply the instruments, and the responsible parties for the retention of the mis ssionary in cap tiyity are government officials.
 Whether or not ransom is paid, all such officials must be brought to pun ishment, if not by the Bulgarian and Turkish governments, then by the United States. If Bulgaria, under the present administration, is helpless be- fore such situation, why should the state not be treated by civilization just as China was treated when war was made on the legations in Picking and when missionaries were siaugh- tered by connivance of the imperial government?
 On the other hand, if the brigands are acting independent of any polit-

GORDON REDDY SHOT.
Pistol Fell From His Pocket and Was
 Discharged.

New Orleans La., January 19.-T. Cor don Reddy, manager of the Bowie Lumber Company, and one of the best known young men in the State, was accidentally shot and mortally wounded last night in Baton Rouge, in the parlor of a friend. Last June, as a result of a difference with William Garig, the millionaire banker of Baton Rouge, Reddy was the principal in q desperate shooting affray at the State cap- ital during which his friend, Henry As kew. of North Carolina, was killed and he himself very seriously shot by Garig' s . nephews.
 The trial of the Garigs began yesterday and Reddy had gone to Baton Rouge to testify in the case. During the evening he called at the residence of Mrs. Herbert, and while rising from an arm chair to greet some friends his pistol dropped from his overcoat. The bullet went through the eye and made it's exit at the rear of the head. Surgeons from the Charity Hos- pital went to the State capital on special train, and they say that Reddy cannot live.

FATAL LION FIGHT.
Man Finally Kills the Beast, But Dies
 Soon Afterwards.

London, January 19.-News of the most remarkable lion fight on record comes from the correspondent of the Associated Press in Northern Rhodesia. MT. Johnstone, a collector of customs in the employ of the British Chartered South Aria Company, was out hunting and shot buck. As the buck fell five lions sprang out from the long grass and began to eat the buck. MT. Johnstone, not to be robbed of his dinner, went into action with his magazine rifle. He killed one lion and wounded another. The remaining three fled The wounded lion, enraged attacked the hunter, whose magazine was empty. He called for anoth- CT gun, but his native followers had gone. The police with him fired wild volley and retreated. MT. Johnstone sought nearby tree and was nearly out of reach when the lion caught him and pulled him down. MT. Johnstone put his left arm down the lion s mouth and gave a sledge hammer blow with his right fist on the animals head. Surprised at the resistance the lion relin- quished his attack. Propping himself against the tree, MT. Johnstone, in spite of his maimed arm, pulled out cartridge, fired and took the lion, right between. the eyes, killing him. Three weeks later MT. Johnstone died of blood poisoning from his mangled arm.

COTTON MARKET

 Brought Out Advance.
SOUTHA STRONG SUPPORTER

New York, January 19-The cotton mar ket opened firm, with prices to 10 points higher, and exhibited many evidences of underlying strength pretty much through out the session. Speculation later was sluggish and of an evening-up tide.
 The commercial interests were slow to buy in view of the manipulation in current month contracts. The south, Europe and room brokers, however, supported the mar ket with great confidence on every sign of reaction. The influences which brought about the initial advance were bullish pulp lie and private cables from Liverpool and small port and interior receipts. Reitera- tion of reports that spot cotton south was hardening on increased export demand and predictions for very light port arrivals ing toward the market among hesitant Wall street and western parties.
 Weekend statements from American and English cotton mills were cheerful beyond anticipations Conservative parties esti- mate the cotton in sight this week at 200 000 to H0,OO0 bales, as compared with 225, ,371 last week. 212011 last year, 22O,610 in 1SSo and 75,33O in 1898.

Cotton Letter.

 A. Brittin's Cotton Letter by Wire to, H.
 D. Cochran & Go.
 New Orleans, La., January 19.-From all quarters renewed evidence of present abid- ing strength in the market was again man. ifested today
 Liverpool quoted spots at an advance of 1-16d and deliveries to 21a sixty-fourths up. Spots in this market also were ad- vanced 1-16c and quoted firm in tone and futures sympathized to the extent of some 5 points advance.
 As stated in our report of yesterday the crop movement last year for the next eight following weeks was relatively very large being 212,000, 273,000, 241 900, POT 000, 184 0OO 1870 155,0OO 123,000 respectively It is quite likely for corresponding weeks this year the movement will fall within those of the previous season, at least so for some of the named weeks. It is generally expected by the trade that as comparisons of movement are made from week to week and which may tend to strengthen belief in the shorter crop theories a stimulating influence will be exerted in effecting an im- proved demand for spot cotton. Future contracts, of course, inevitably follow spots and upon the demand for the raw material hinges the whole situation.
 No new features were present today. There has been less activity during the current week both in cotton. stocks, grain and provisions, and the keen edge seems of of speculation for the present.

SHORTS WERE MADE UNEASY

New York January 19.-The stock market was excited and nervous throughout the short session today made the varying for tunes for the speculative contest waged be- tween the bulls and the bears. The bulls made determined stand in the early deal ings, boldly supporting the weak spots by liberal buying orders and causing sharp advances in special stocks, which had a sustaining influence on the general mar ket
 The unwieldly short interest was made uneasy by this show of strength and bought urgently to cover. When the bank state ment- appeared there were mixed opinions as to the bearing of the large changes dis closed, but the bears detected selling to realize by the interests which had been op- posing them and they fell upon the market with determination. Prices broke violently under flood of selling orders for both accounts and the market closed actively and semi-demoralized with prices for the most part ofsthe lowest
 The admittedly serious i'll health of Queen Victoria caused uneasiness as to the possi- ply bad effects on foreign securities which might selected. The bears also circu- lated reports Afterwards shown to be groundless) that President Mckinley had had a relapse with the grippe and the pro- fessonal tactics were manifest in other canards which were put af1oat.

Bank Statement.

- New York, January 19.-Todays bank statement showed record fluctuations in loans and deposits as compared with the changes of any previous week of clearing house history. Bank officers were puzzled by the s22 4S1, ,O0O gain in loans during a period of considerable stock market liqui- daton and could not account for the show ing except by the fact that it indicated pre- parations to finance some sort of private railroad deal. In this connection, 1t was pointed out, that one Wall street bank to- day and yesterday had a credit balance at the clearing house aggregating $14,0OO, OOO. The statement also showed a gain of $l3, 971 300 in cash holdings with an increase of S4. 4S5, $50 in surplus bank reserves.
