REACTION
 ON LIQUIDATION The Small Bull Movement of Monday Was Wiped Out LIVERPOOL CABLES FIRM The South Was a Free Buyer in the Morning But Turned Seller
 on the Break-The Close
 Was Steady.

New York, June 1S.-Early developments in the cotton market today were quite in keeping with the bull events of yester- day, but before the close severe reactions were noted under heay liquidation. The market opened steady up to points on room and fairly generous outside buying, based on much firmer Liverpool cables than expected and reports that Southern spot cotton markets were again harden ing on broadening demand. Prices ad- vanced to the highest figures touched on the recent upturn. But before midday longs became nervous and fearful of a possible favorable review of the week in the belt by the government and turned for profits. Thus, much of the early rise was wiped out. When the government report was announced 1t was summed up as bear ish and traders sold all months heavily. July liquidation led the movement and caused that option to break 14 points. But later in the afternoon there was a change for the better in the character of busi- ness and shorts once more sought safety in retreat. Prices stiffened point by point until last nights figures were reached, after which variations were comparatively narrow. Trading was very feverish all the afternoon. The south was free buy CT in the morning, but turned seller on the break Spinners bought August on all weak intervals
 The market was finally steady with the prices to points net lower.

PREDICTS HAYS RETIREMENT


Boulder, Colo, Oct. 5.-Lyman j..
Gage, secretary of the treasury,
speaking of the rumored intention of
Secretary Hay to retire from the cab
met, is quoted as saying: Secretary
Hay is getting tired of the business.
He is a man of strictest honor. He
is very sensitive, however, and it
hurts him, after he has worked hard,
to be misrepresented, cartooned and
lampooned. He is independently rich.
He can do as he wishes, and go wher-
ever he desires. He has few very
intimate friends and he would rather
enjoy life surrounded by agreeable
companions and his books than at
tend to the tiresome and changeless
routine of the office of secretary of
state. l should not be surprised if he
would soon withdraw. If SO, Secre-
tary Root will probably be his sue
ceSSor"

HALF CROP OF POTATOES.
John Cownie Says Iowa Institutions Fare
Better Than Rest of State.


Des Moines, Oct. S.-While the rest
of the state of Iowa will average
about 30 per cent of the usual crop
of potatoes, John Cownie of the
state board of control says the Iowa
institutions will have at least so per
cent of their usual supply. This will
not meet the necessities of the insti-
buttons, but will come somewhere
near doing so. The board has begun
sending out notices for bids on pota-
toes to fill up the delinquency. Mr..
Cownie attributes the good crop of
potatoes entirely to the excellent
cultivation which the potato patches
have had on each institution farm
He says that long after the farmers
OF the state had given up all hope
the institutions were cultivating
their fields, and this was kept up
during July and August, with the re-
suit that a second crop was realized.
The board has let contract for ra-
diators at the Clarinda hospital.
The American Radiator company of
Chicago secured the contract, which
amounted to between 5000 and $500.

WILL CONTROL CANAL.
England Agrees to New Treaty Giving
Control to United States.

Chicago, Oct. S.-A special to the
Record-Herald from Washington
says: The United States and Great
Britain have reached an agreement
concerning the isthmian canal ques-
ton, and the new treaty will be pre-
scented to the senate for it's ratifica-
ton early in the coming session.
am now able to give the substance of
this treaty. 1t provides
1. For abrogation of the old Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty in toto.
2. For neutral isthmian canal, in
case one be constructed by the United
States, open in time of peace to the
SHIPS of all nations upon equal terms.
3. This neutrality is guaranteed by
the United States alone, and other
maritime powers are not invited to
participate in such guarantee. Great
Britain is inferentially one of the
guarantors, because she is a party
to this treaty.
4. In case of war the United States
reserves the right to take such steps
for it's own protection as it may
deem proper.
1t will be seen that the new treaty
meets the principal objections which
were offered to the old Hay-Paunce-
fote convention and which led to it's
rejection by the senate.
While the principle of neutrality is
asserted, the United States alone
guarantees that neutrality, and no
European powers are invited to give
their assent to it. twas this feature
more than any other which led to the
defea OF the former treaty.

Death Of the Ameer of Afghanistan
9 SY3ai3 RepOrted 33s9tf Isl

( London, Oct. s.A news agency
publishes the following dispatch
from Simla, dated last evening:
'Habid Oullah Khan, eldest son Of
the ameer of Afghanistan, has re-
ported to the British agent at Ca.
bull that the ameer died last Thurs
day after a. brief illness" ;"
No confirmation has been received
at the foreign Office of the report
of the death of the ameer of Afghan
lstan, but the accuracy of the death
is not doubted. In view of the ex-
listing critical situation in South
Africa, the news sent something like
shock through the United King
dom. Great confidence, however, is
expressed on all sides of the ability
of the Indian viceroy to deal with
the situation.
Before Lord Curzon attained his
present dignities, he had Travelled
through Afghanistan as the guest of
the ameer and had thoroughly mas
tered the problem of British policy
in central Asia:
At Simla it is believed that Habib
Oullah Khan, who was regarded by
his father as his successor, and had
loHS Hdu SHARE III inc country, Will
assume the succession peaceably. He
is at Cabul For some years under
his fathers controlling hand, he has
had charge of the army and state
treasury and the supreme court of
appeal. He is regarded as wise
and temperate ruler, favorable to
Great Britain, but less masterful
than his father. and for this reason
less likely to be strong enough to
govern the fierce. unruly tribes or
to resist the attempts of his broth
ers to seize power.

THE NEWS IN IOWA
he STUCK TO THE OLD HOME.

I
James Fallon's Threat Never to Leave
Old Home Alive Is Made Good.
FIT. Dodge, Oct. 7.-Smarting under
supposed wrongs, James Fallon, a
prominent pioneer resident of Web
ster county, blew out his brains in a,
room of his home near here, while
o sheriff was waiting in front with
warrant for his arrest. The war;
rant was issued for his arrest for al
legged murderous assault of II thresh-
ing crew whom he had driven from
his place at the point of revolver.
The affair is the elimination of a
series of events which originated in
the sale of Fallon's old homestead
diately after giving the contract Fal-
Ion repented his bargain, saying he
desired to spend his rmaning years
on the farm. Suit was then COM
menced to dispossess him, but he
fought the action with great earnest
ness, engaging the best legal talent
in Iowa to save his home for him.
Among the attorneys engaged were
John f. Duncombe. Iowa attorney
for the Illinois Central: NJ. ID. O'Con-
nell, solicitor of the United States
treasury; Judge Kenyon, Judge Hy-
att and w. w. Irwin. a noted criminal
attorney of St. Paul. Despite his ef-
forts the state supreme court af-
firmed the lower courts decision and
ordered Fallon dispossessen. He re-
fused and annouced he would never
leave the place alive.

Commander Hodgson yesterday again

witness. He was followed on the

Dryson also was recalled to add some
details to his former testimony con-
corning the coal supply of the Ameri-

ade.
Commander Hodgson repeated and
extended his story of the battle of
July 3, giving the opinion that Com
modore Schley's conduct on that oc-
casion was such as that of COM
mander-in-chief should have been.
He also explained at some length
his correspondence with Admiral
Schley concerning the alleged collo-
guy between them while the Santia-
go engagement was in progress. He
said he had no controversy with the
commodore, but he repeated that the

Des Moines, Oct. s.-The Iowa Tele-
phone company has caused an origina
notice to be served on eN-State Treas
urer John Herriott, candidate for
lieutenant governor, in which he is
made defendant in suit for taxes
which the company paid into the
state treasury during the years 1895
and 1900 under protest, the sum
reaching many thousand dollars. Mr..
Herriott's bondsmen are made de
PENDANTS in the suit The case will
be filed in the Polk county courts at
once and set for an early date.
The petition which is being pre-
pared by the local attorney for the
telephone company will state practi-
cally the same grounds as those
urged in the protest; that the state
in attempting to tax the telephone
company in the face of local assess
ments, is doing SO contrary to law by
seeking to enforce double taxation.
The question is very important
one, and its determination will be
looked forward to with interest. 1t
will not only determine the payment
of the taxes during these two years
but will settle the question as to
whether or not the state and city
can legally assess such incorpora-
tons.
