St. Johns, N. f.. Dec. 19.--Marconi's
attorney here has informed counsel for
the Anglo-Amerlcan Gable Company
that Marconi will temporarily cease his
tests Of wireless telegrapny, and, with
out admitting the rights Of the. Anglo
American Company, will notify that
company prior to resuining the tests.
At luncheon given by Gov. Boyle
to-day Marconi made an address in
which he said:

can be commercially established be-

extent. But the great cost OF the ca

Valdosta. Ga, Dec. 19.--The sea ISL
and cotton receipts have dropped of
so much here during the past few
days as to Indicate that the crop Is
pretty well exhausted. The high
prices of few days ago sent it in
in large quantities. but there has been
great change this week and very
little cotton is being marketed. The
buyers here are still of the opinion
that the crop is far short of former
years, and way below the outlook
earlier in the season.
Work upon Valdosta's new hotel is
progressing rapidly and the walls are
nearly one-story high. The building
is being made of pressed brick, trim
med with brown stone and the er-
feet will be very handsome. Oppo-
site the hotel will rise the new Chris
tian Church, that congregation hav-
ing recently bought the lot on which
the old Central Hotel now stands.
The work OF building will begin at
an early day and that portion OF the
city will have a very much improved
appearance when these handsome
structures are completed.

CAN PASS CONFEDERATE BILLS.
Federal Judge in Minnesota Rem

Federal Judge in Minnesota Rem
ders Unexpected Decision.
ST. Paul, Mimi, Dec. ia. Fargo,
n. D., special to the Dispatch says:
1t is not a crime against the United
States to pass a Confederate bill on
an unsuspecting Indian, according to
the decision of Judge Amidon of the
United States Court in the Barrett
case.
A Billings county cowboy named
Barrett was arrested for giving an In
dian $50 Confederate bill in
a horse trade. 1t was all
legged that he had violated
Section 5430 of the revised
statutes. which makes it crime to
carry paper, bearing a similitude to
regular currency.
Judge Amidon holds that the general
likeness which one bill holds to the
regular currency is insufficient to con-
Wet unless it has been attempted to
make it an imitation or forgery of real
money and indicates that the Indians
only recourse is through the state
courts, as the offense was merely a
cheat, and, not an offense against the
United States. Barrett has been dis
charged from custody.

THE IRISH LEAGUE.
IT'S First Meeting Held in New York
Yesterday.

1SsLCIu1Ss
Nav York. Dec. 49.-The Provisional
executive Committee of the United
irish League of America, formed by the
irish ENJOYS, Redmond MeFIugh and
O'DonneH before leaving for Ireland.
held it's first meeting to-day at the
hoffman House. John F. Finerty Of
chicago, president of the league, pre-
sided. and most of the twenty-one
original members of the Executive
committee were in attendance.
A constitution and bylaws. based
on the lines of those of the old Land
League, were adopted. Arrangements
were made to organize the country IN
support of the Irish leaders and the
United Irish League of Ireland.
Gen. Thomas NJ. Brady of Canton,
Ca, was added to the Executive Conn
mittee.
The Executive Committee drafted an
address to the people of this country
on which the committee bases its
claim for active support of the Irish
cause at the present time.
The address reads, in part:
THE grievances under which Ire
land, after the lapse of generations,
stlll labors, would justify an appeal
to arms, were her military resources
and opportunities equal to her wrongs
and her resentment. Were she in a
position to draw the sword, or use
the rifle, with even reasonable
nance of success, we would prefer
that method of obtaining her rights
and avenging the insults heaped upon
her by a remorseless government, to
any other. But we know that she
is at present, unframed, unarmed and
without formidable allies, as her peo-
Tic are not IN a position to cope with
the land and sea forces of England.
I'VE neither denounce nor renounce
the principle of an appeal to physical
force, under favorable conditions, but
we are fully aware that the application
of such force for the obtaining of the
rights of Ireland does not seem i'm
mediately practicable"
The address then indorses what Mr..
Redmond and his associates said as
to the important part which emigra-
ton is playing in keeping Ireland down,
and continues:
1.-The great task, then, of this, our
own generation, is to strive and root
the Irish people in their soil. The
young, rural people of Ireland must
be given a living interest in the
land that gave them birth. In
order that they may cleave unto
the soil, they must be made farm pro
prietors.
This, allied to the underlying cause
of Irish national independence, is the
noble mission of the United Irish
League of Ireland"
The address calls upon Irish-Ameri-
cans to form branches of the United
Irish League Of America, to- operate
with their Irish brethren in the cause
of national liberty and agrarian re-
form

C0PPER's REDUCED DIVIDEND
Follows Day of BewiIdering FIuc-
tuatiOn on the stock Exchange.

New York. Dec. 19.-Amalgamated
Copper claimed and held interest over
all the list in the street to-day and
went through a rapid series of bewil-
dering fluctuations. After the erratic
market had closed the directors ct
Amalgamated Copper met, voted div
idend of 1 per cent, and issued a
statement placing the blame for de-
clines upon shrinkage in foreign con-
sumption. In this connection it was
stated Amalgamated had been forced
to bear the largest loss in the effort to
maintain prices. The statement placed
the falling off in exports at $1,000 tons,
and said that during the last month
the United States Metals Selling Com
pany had sold over 100, 100000 pounds
for future delivery.
Large blocks of the stock were I'M
loaded Immediately after business be-
gan on the exchange and about half an
hour after the opening the gain of 3
points made yesterday was wiped out.
Transactions then became very mod
crate. Efforts of shorts to cover, as
sisted by what appeared to be manip-
ulation, ran it up to 6613 on parity
with yesterdays close. The stock
backed and filled over range of a
point until well into the afternoon.
Trading became excited in the last
half hour of business and blocks of
from 1000 to 5000 shares changed
hands frequently on rapid rise of
69h. An equally rapid reaction fol-
lowed to 641z. changes of a point being
made between sales, but the buying
soon overcame the downward tendency
and the price bounded up again to 6745.
There was another slump just before
the close and the last sale was at 65B.
The general movement of the stock
throughout the day was of an excep-
tional character and its dominance CT
the trading was represented in trans
actions of 222, 800 out of total for all
stocks of 10000 shares.
The meeting Of the directors at which
the reduced dividend was declared and
the statement in behalf of the COM
pany made public commenced as the
market was closing and was attended
by William Rockefeller, H. II. Rogers,
James Stillman, Arson r. Flower and
William G. Rockefeller. No announce
ment was made for an hour. and when
a clerk appeared at the office door with
an armful of typewriter statements,
he was instantly the center OF SEN
sational rush. Half of the statements
were torn as the clerk attempted 10
distribute them in the crowd Of mes
sengers, financial bureau men and re-
porters. Announcement was made
that the dividend was / per cent, COM
pared with ~ declared in september.
