Yesterdays cotton was only demonstra.
tive Of the conflict Of influences that are
now brought to play in these circles val
ues kept very generally above the closing
mark Of the previous night and while a
small retrogression took place 1t was not
worthy Of mention as loss TO the hard
hearted bull The public remained con
spieuously out OF the ring and the pro-
fessional pondered over the tidings Of the
hour.
The big English center was very stead
fast. but offered no favoritism that would
inspire the hopes OF either faction Il was
very evident that the Manchester spinner
was looking more anxiousiy over LIVER
pools spot supplies The dream Of album
dance was not near to realization and was
remote Of accomplishment under the price
code recently constructed. The total stock
of American enlarged $1,000 bales Z the
seven days and was only 500 bales less
than last year. But II is doubtful II the
latter is a criterion by which the fabric
maker would like to measure his sources
OF supply or II be looked with favor on
the new problems tho producer has placed
before him.
The increase in the worlds visible sup
ply for the week was 5000 bales less than
the increase OF last week, but 1900 more
than that Of last wear The into sight for
the seven DAYS was 5000 bales behind
last weeks and 5000 ahead OF last years
Thus statistics made no signals Of land
Ing place and smooth sailing was not the
lot Of him who venturcd on the waters.
True, the 6gures are tumblng well enough
for the philosophy of the bull but the com
paratiye ones sink more acutely The ques-
tion naturally arises, will a comparison OF
the two seasons show that the reserve
force ~ the present Is being reduced In a
stronger degree than the counted bales
The answer will have 10 be In the affrna-
tive II the ardent bull be finally vlndlcated.
On this side OF the waves the business
was Of the kind that hcsitancy fathers The
Spectator kept aloof, but shorts were long
on covering and the figures did not move
out Of 10 point margin. Tho interior re-
ceipts outside Of Houston ran more than
1900 ahead Of last weeks and occasioned
a selling move which found absorption ny

provement IN the goods conditions which
late interruptions make very acceptable 20

did not bulge from the more promising
path and suffered no losses on the day

KILLED WHILE COUPLING CARS.

Edward Kent Caught Between the
 Bumpers in East Hartford Yard
 Hartford, Aug 2S.-Edward Kent of Fishkill was caught between the bumpers of two cars in the railroad yards in East Hartford at about 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He was waiting over in East Hartford for a chance to make the run back to Fish kill, and was called out to work on the switcher in the yard. A train of cars was being made up to be taken to the shops for repairs. Kent was coupling two cars, one of which had broken draw bar, obliging him to make the coupling with heavy chain. He gave the signal to back up and was understood by the, engineer, MT Blake, but it is supposed he did not allow for the slack. The bumpers closed upon him, catching him on the right side of the chest. He was not killed instantly but lived few moments.
 MT Kent was about 21 years old and had been on the road for year or more. He made his home in Fishkill and only stayed in East Hartford dur ing times when train was made up for the terminal. He leaves father and mother at his late home, and also a brother, who is brakeman on the Highland division. The body will be taken to Fishkill for burial.

HOT TIME AHEAD.

Republicans of Nebraska Will Ask
 Questions of Governor Savage.
 Lincoln, Neb, Aug 2S.-The republi- can state convention which meets this afternoon may prove a harmonious body and it may be stirred as no con yention has been for many years. All hinges on the length to which the op- ponents of the parole from the peniten- tiary of former State Treasurer Bartley by Governor Savage will go in their determination to criticise the action of the governor. The movement begun last night. to keep this single element of party strife in the back ground has apparently failed and sentiment among delegates is so strong that there seems no way to prevent the question com ing before the convention.
 Governor Savage to-day issued a statement in explanation of his action in which he says
 Il granted the parole with the un- derstanding on my part that Bartley was to reimburse the state and to rem der an accounting of the funds lost in banking which he was unable to re cover. 1 have given MT Bartley an op- portunity to right the wrong and my action as regards the extension of fur thur clemency in the premises shall be conditioned solely upon his compliance with my requirements"
 Governor Savages statement, aI- though widely circulated,' has failed to stop the movement looking to the in troduction of a resolution questioning the wisodm of his action.
 The only nominations to be disposed Of are for one associate justice of the supreme court and three regents of the state university.
 Judges Keysor of Omaha, Sedgwick of York and Davidson of Tecumseh are the leading candidates for the first named nomination.
 For regents of the university only three names are mentioned: H. l.. Goold of Ogallala, present incumbent; c. H. Ernst of Lincoln and R. s. Ris- ing of Ainsworth.

 Particulars-They Claim the Law
 Passed By Last Legislature Does
 Not Reach His Case-Some of Al
 legged Defalcations Committed Before
 Law Was Passed.
 New Britain Conn, Aug. 2S.-When the case of Charles Il. Faulkner, charged with embedding $16,500 of public funds came up before the pc lice court this morning there was an argument on his counselS application for bill of particulars specifying the different amounts taken and the dates upon which they were taken.

Judge Burr took the different points under advise ment and adjourned the case until September 5. Faulkner was taken back to jail at the close of the hearing. Judge John Walsh appeared as asso- ciate counsel with 5. +. Gatfney fol the accused to-day.

PelSin, Aug 2S-The Imperial edict forbidding the importation of arms and munitions of war is not satisfac- tory to the foreign ministers A meet ing of the ministers has been called to discuss the edict. 1t ignores the vital fact that the prohibition applies to the government and that it is part Of the Chinese punishment. The edict makes it appear to be merely the govern ment's voluntary act, prohibiting Chinese subjects from importing arms and munitions as the country is dis turbed by brigands.

MANY D|VORCES WANTED
Next Session of the Court Will
 Be a Busy One.


 With Clerk Platt-The Reputation
 of Waterbury for Divorces is Going
 to be Sustained
 Suits for divorce are piling up on the court records for disposal by the next term of the court. Of the many cases that have been entered upon the books for trial so far applications for divorce are in the majority, and 1t is aparent that in this respect Waterbury will maintain it's record at the next term of the court of severance. At present Clerk Marsh is away at thte Jersey shore, resting himself. Court Messenger Edward Platt walks his post. MT Platt has seen great many summers and good deal of this world, and he wonders what is coming over the people. they appear so anxious to throw off the bonds of matrimony.
 Anna NJ Clancy has petitioned for divorce from her husband, Joseph F., on the grounds of intemperance. Mrs Clancy is said to be living in this city and her husband is in AnsOnia. They were married on January P, 1890. De- feDdant'S property has been attached to the amount of $500.
 fraQclS R. dOlOHdu SeekS Sopdfd- tion from John H. Holohan on the grounds of intolerable erueltty and has attached his property for 5000. At torney Durant is counsel for petitioner in this and the aboyoe. case. The GUS tody of five children is alsoo asked for by petitioner. These parties were married on January 4, 1880. The next case in the fielu is that of Elizabeth Hopkins vs Jess. The infor- mation in this affair alleges Jess to be at present a resident of Brewsters and that he married petitioner on Sep tember 26, 1896, and deserted her on June 20 1898. Mrs Hopkins resides here.
 Upon the grounds of illicit relations with one Boughton, Charles A. Sprague asks for divorce from his wife Clara. The parties lived in Dan- bury when the act aalleged is said to have taken place. Judge Peasley rep resents the plaintiffs in the above two cases.
 The last case to date is that of Thomas Bernard against his wife Grace. Desertion is alleged in this matter. It is said to have taken place in June, 1893, three years after mar riage. Atrey Richmond appears for the plaintiff.
