Special Dispatch to Cincinnati Enauire-,
 New York December 7-Theodore Price, whose firm of Price. Mccormick & Go. failed for over s10,OOO,0O0 about two years ago, when MT. Price was try ing to corner the market for cotton was one of the largest winners in the heavy advance made in the staple Tuesday. He is said to have been Hong" of about 75.o00 bales, on which he averaged a gain of B bale. Yesterday he took profits on 25.00O bales and today sold part of his holdings which he bought below 71sc pound above Sc.
 About a week ago Mir. Price sent out q circular, in which he estimated the seasons crop of cottCr at 9,420,0O0 bales. This was the minimum amount men. tioned in the many different estimates that were prepared to anticipate the gov ernment report of Tuesday. It was so low that not much credit was given It. However, Price and lis friends acted on their judgment.
 Price is said to have formed syndi- cate of Wall street oper ators who bought about 3c,000 bales on his recom- mcndation. ThcIr gains were large, The government estimate was only 25000 bales higher than the one made by Price.
 When Price attempted to 'corner" the cotton market here in 1900 the quotation was around 10c a pound It has always teen admitted that his position then was the right one. -n fact he was virdicated six months after his failure, when cotton rose to 1Sc pound for the spot article. He was for ced, however, to take 5000 bales of very high grade material which he was not prepared for. He had been taking all of the colt on offered for sev- eral days when his credit became ex- hausted and & suspension was impera- tive.
 An interesting fact in cor.nection with Prices present sue cess Is that the Phila- delphia firm that forced thousands of bales of cotton on him before his failure was one of the biggest losers on this weeks advance, they and their custom CTS having been on the short side of the market

When Manners Change.

 A benevolent looking man boarded a downtown elevator already occupied by three ladies upward bound. With subdued Chesterfieldian air he re. spectfully doffed his hat and held i. in his hand until he reached his des tination.
 What a charming man! Such lovely manners!" gushed the ladies in chorus.
 A few minutes later the benevolent looking man of the lovely manners reached his office. Pitching his has on the back of his beneficent head sprawling himself down in true manly abandon at his desk, pufing a clay pipe in an artistically masculine fash ion, occasionally expectorating in the vicinity of a cuspidor, he greets his $6-a-week-for-ten-ho stenogra. pher by jocularly inquiring why - those legal papers aren't finished.

From the New York Times.
 The late Eugene Stanislas Kostzka de Mitkiewicz used to tell story oS the cynicism of Lii Hung Chang. Nit. keiwicz, a professional promoter" spent some of the best years of his life in an unsuccessful attempt to en' gineer the establishment of a great Chino-American bank. Millions were involved and it was necessary to ses cure the favor of Fan Lii. Mitkie' wicz obtained an interview with him. and explained his scheme. The China man listened gravely.
 Tt is a philanthropic plan, is 1t not?" he said at length. You desire by means of this bank to bring about moral and social reforms in my coun- try, I suppose. You wish to civilize us, to save our souls"
 "We wish to do nothing of the kind," answered the adventurer This is simply and solely commercial en. terprise. We don't care a rap for your morals, and I may say for my self, personally, that it is matter os supreme indifference to me whether any of your souls are saved or not"
 Lis almond eyes twinkled.
 "Ah," he said. you are not like other Europeans who come to China. They are all interested in our moral well being. You say you want merely to make money. It is strange. have heard of such men before, but til; now have never met European whc had not the spiritual good of China af heart"

THREE MEN DEAD AND SCORES HURT Headend Collision on Southern
 Pacific in California SEVERAL CARS ARE BURNED Both Engines Were Demolished and Part of the Mall and Express
 Packages Are Lost-or-
 ders Dlsobeyed.
SEVERAL CARS ARE BURNED

San Francisco. December 1s. North and southbound Southern Pacific coast limited trains running between this city and Los Angeles came together in a head-end collision at Uplands early this morning. fireman express messenger and baggageman were killed and 20 pas sengers more or less injured. probably not one fatally.
 Dead:
 A. Phelps. wells-Fargo messenger.
 w Garland fireman on southbound train.
 - Thurber, baggageman.
 Among the injured are:
 John Jordan, Rochester. N. r., bruised on head.
 George Meeker, Bradford, S. D., slightly cut on wrists.
 A. g. Wakefield, Hiram, O., hand cut.
 Charles Wasson, Tranquility. O., shak- en up.
 Mrs. Gertrude Stewart, Belah, Colo, bruised over eye and neck sprained.
 Both engines were demolished and the baggage, smoking and chair cars of the northbound train were burned. None of the passengers nor cars of the south bound train were injured. The only pas sengers hurt were those in the smoking and day coaches of the northbound train. In the smoker were half a dozen Italian laborers. Four of them were badly bruised and scalded by escaping steam.
 The accident was due, the railroad of- ficials say. to the failure of Engineer Coffee of the northbound train to follow out his orders. which instructed him to wait at a siding at Uplands until the southbound train passed Instead of wait ing the train passed the siding at the rate of thirty miles an hour.
 Half a mile beyond it the southbound train ran into it, which was coming at an equal rate of speed. Just as the engines came together the crews jumped for their lives, all escaping except Fireman Cart land. As he was about to leap the loco- motive overturned, and he was caught be- heath it. The engineers of both trains before jumping reversed their engines and set the brakes. In the fire which resulted part of the mail and a number of express packages were burned.
 Among the passengers there happened to be two physicians. and the injured re- ceived prompt attention.
 The statement that MT. Krutschnitt, of the Southern Pacific was on the north bound train from Los Angeles that was wrecked, Is erroneous. On No were several officials of the Southern Pacific system including Manager Alger, who were on an inspection trip.
 Manager Alger sent word to the city that fortunately there were two doctors on the train and that everything possi- blo was being done for the comfort of the wounded. H. IN. Foster, assistant to the manager, said:
 Engineer Coffee had received his in- structions to meet No, at uplands and ran past the switch. He has been for four years on that run and it is almost incredible that he should have overlook ed his orders. It Is said that the conduc- tor tried to reach him. There is no pos sible excuse for the neglect of Engineer Coffee. The only people who were injur- ed in the day coach of No g. None of the Pullman passengers were hurt"
