THE VILLAGE STREET.
From niua till twelve the village street

The chickens rustic In the dust
The old dog snaps at flies
But when the hell has rung for noon.

They run and jump and swing their hooks,
And such noise they make
That all the sunny. sleeping street
Seems suddenly 60 wake,

PAN-AMERICANS IN MEXICO.
PreIiminarles Begin To-day anu
Actual Work Tomorrow.

City of Mexico Oct. 2O.-The Pan
American delegates passed Sunday out
of doors in the bright Mexican sun
shine and taking in the sights of the
city.
Monday morning the delegates will
visit the quarters of the general sec
retaries of the conference, inscribing
their names and addresses. In the af-
ternoon they will hold an informal
meeting for the purpose of making pre-
liminary arrangements, but will not
meet for a formal inaugural session
until o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
when Minister of Foreign Relations
Ignacio Mariscal will preside, deliver
ing an address of welcome. He will
then ask the delegates to name an act
ing chairman to preside at the meeting
in which the delegates will discuss
rules and regulations.
There is some opposition to making
all these sessions secret, 1t being urged
that the conference can go into secret
session when matters to be discussed
demand it.
Tuesday night all the delegates and
their families will be entertained in the
presidential apartments at the palace
to witness fireworks and the illumina-
ton and listen to a serenade by the
best military bands.
Two rooms have been set apart in
the palace and handsomely furnished
for the use of the Bureau of American
Republics.

stagnation at Manchester.

Manchester, Oct. 20.-Local condi-
tions continued stagnant throughout
the week, although there was OCCASION
al fair business in options. The gen.
eral experience of the trade was less
satisfactory even than during the week
previous. The aggregate sales of cloth
made poor showing, the lack of con-
fidence in present values preventing
oversee buyers from offering worlxa-
bic prices. The uncertainty as to the
cotton crops compels a waiting atti-
tude. There is an expectation, however,
that sufficient quantity will be grown
to satisfy probable requirements, un
less there is some almost immediate
disaster to the crop. For this reason
weather reports from the United States
are anxiously studied and upon these
will depend the course of the market
in the early future. Such inquiry for
cloth as was made was of a miscel-
laneous character only. China did not
operate appreciably, Bombay is over
stocked. Some financial trouble has
arisen in that quarter and Calcutta Of
fers were below acceptance.
Small purchases were made for
Eouth America and the Levant Yarns
showed but little alteration and were
firm, although shippers are placing
only small orders.

CREDITORS MAY GET SET-OFF.
Important Decision in Bankruptcy
Cases by Judge Newman.


Atlanta, Oct. 20.-Judge w. T. New
man of the United States district court
has handed down an opinion of interest
to the mercantile community and the
legal profession at large.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided under a section of
the bankruptcy laws that a payment
received by a creditor of a bankrupt
within four months preceding the filing
of the petition in bankruptcy must be
surrendered before the creditor would
be allowed to prove his claim in bank
ruptcy, whether the payment was re-
ceived knowingly or not.
Another section of the bankruptcy
act authorizes a set off to a creditor
who has received a preference, for the
amount of goods which has been sold
to the bankrupt subsequent to the pay
ment received, If the goods entered into
and became a part of the bankrupt's
estate
The question recently argued before
Judge Newman was as to whether such
a set off would be allowed in the case
of creditor whose preference was not
knowingly received.
Judge Newman holds that the set off
should be allowed as well in cases
where the payment was innocently re-
ceived as in cases where it was not.
Judge Newman subsequently passed
an order authorizing the trustee to take
the case to the Circuit Court of Appeals
at New Orleans for review.

THE TWO FACTIONS AT OUTS.
GENDARMEs PATROL THE MINING
DISTRICT.

The Question of "a Strike I'm the
Yet Decided, but the "Reds,, Have
Armed Themselves With Altered
Government Muskets and LebeI
Rifles and Are Anxious to Create
TroubIe-The Company's Manager
Guarded by Armed Escort.
Paris, Oct 21.-Two meetings of the
delegates of the miners federation were
held yesterday at St. Etienne without
any decision being reached upon the
question of the threatened strike. An
other meeting will be held to-day
Meanwhile the papers are devoting
columns to the situation and generally
taking a gloomy view.
Dispatches from Monceaus-les- Mines
says, that while the place is outwardly
quiet, the feeling is such that a very
slight incident would be likely to lead
to an outbreak of violence among the
5000 miners in the locality. These are
divided into two factions. the reds"
who favor a strike, and the "yellows,"
who are opposed to such a step.
The project, who has been forbid
ding the sale of arms throughout the
department, yesterday seized two cases
of muskets at St. Etienne that were on
their way to Monceaux-les-M Mines. 1t is
asserted that both factions are already
supplied with guns and revolvers,
which they have concealed at their
homes. One of the leaders of the
reds" declares they not only have al
tered "Gras" muskets. but also Lebel
rifles, ammunitions and bayonets.
The chief element of danger is the
possible action of some 1900 men
whom the mining company refused to
re-engage after the last strike and
who have been unemployed since.
Six hundred gendarmes are patroll-
ing Monceaux-les- Mines. The man
ager of the company does not leave his
office except in a carriage and under
the escort of mounted gendarmes, arm
ed with revolvers and sabres.
The leaders of the Reds" insist that
a strike is inevitable, but many who
are in a position to form sober opin-
ion believe that strike will be avert
ed or at all events confined to certain
localities.

SIBERIA'S FAMINE DISTRICTS.

Samara's Dark Outlook for Winter.
Russian Newspapers Must Handle
Famine News GingerIy.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
st. Petersburg, Oct. 5.-Acting upon
additional information from the gov
ernor Of the province of Samara, the
Minister of the Interior has officially
proclaimed famine conditions in five
more districts in this province, namely,
Samara district, Bogoulminsk, Navo-
nussensk, Nicolaevisk and Stavropol.
This means that the bad harvest has
already made itself so keenly felt that
a special medical and relief organiza-
tion is deemed necessary for these dis
tricts. 1t is likely that the list will be
added to from time to time during the
winter. The minister also published
o-day detailed report about the re-
lief given seven Siberian districts. For
ty thousand roubles were assigned. The
present indications are that lit
tie information about the fam
inc will be published in Russian
papers which is not given out by the
ministry of the interior. The papers
have been given to understand that in
correct information or "colored" ar
ticles about the famine will not be toll
Grated and the Russian editors know
when they have been spoken to.
The bad harvests in portions of ST.

AMERICANS IN MEXICO.
Contended in MeaIey Case That
Permanent Residents Lose Their
Standing as Citizens at Home.


City of Mexico, Oct. 20.-Ambassador
Clayton, acting under instructions
from the State Department at Wash
ington, has been investigating the case
of w. H. Mealey, an American mining
man, under arrest at Monterey. While
working to secure Mealey's release
under bail news came that he had
been released but Immediately rear
rested on charges of robbery and per-
jury. The ambassador does not yet
know the basis of the charges.
Mealey's case has been in the courts
more or less for several years. AS the
result of the present litigation the ar
rest of Mealey came about in connect
ion with mining cases, and the point
is made that Americans permanently
residing in Mexico, never intending to
return to the United States, paying no
taxes there and performing none of the
duties of citizen, lose their standing
with the United States government. If
this principle were made operative it
would affect many long time Ameri-
can residents of the country. Mealy.
it is alleged, had made Mexico his
permanent home.

Funston in which he and his force are
granted immunity in respect to all acts

death for killing American prisoners.
Gen. Funston says that when it was
signed he gave I1acuna orally to under
stand that the killing of American
prisoners was excepted. Lacuna admits
that something was said on the sub
]ect, but says no thorough understand
ing was reached, and he considers the

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 20.-A bastard
ly attempt to blow up the house of
Reese Morgan, superintendent of the
Murray mine. and kill him and his
family was made tonight. Mr.. Nor
gan's home is on Grant street, one of
the residence thoroughfares of this
city. He attended services with his
family at a nearby church early in
the evening, returning leisurely with
a neighbor shortly after o'clock.
He had just opened the gate to go
into the house when terrific explosion
occurred which nearly knocked him off
his feet. At first he did not know
what had happened, but when he was
able to collect himself he saw that a
portion of his residence had been
wrecked. He says he did not know
he had an enemy in the world
The general supposition is that some
mine employe, who formerly worked
for Mr.. Morgan and who imagined he
had grievance, is at the bottom of
the plot.

tragedy. dy.According to the dentists story
he met Mrs. Nichol while a young girl
in Nashville, Tenn, and fell in love
with her. Burnett moved to Chicago
and married several years later.
Our love was still strong for each
other" said Burnett, and she moved
to Chicago to be near me. We were
together nearly every day. There
seemed, however, to be a constant re-
morse on her part on account of the
dual life she was leading. Saturday
we went down town together, and af-
ter having several drinks she proposed
suicide to me and we went to the
! marlborough Hotel She produced a
bottle of morphine she had hidden in
her dress. She again asked me to die
with her, and 1 consented. Then she
swallowed nearly all the contents of
the bottle and handed it to me- 1 drank
what was left, but believing that l
had not taken enough to prove fatal,
l tried to end my life by sticking the
hatpin in my neck. I saw this also
was going to be a failure, so / turned
all the gas on and laid down to die"
Burnett stated that his wife knew
nothing of his attachment for Mrs.
Nichol The latter had two children.

DR.. Orville S. Burnerr was born at
Hastings, Neb., about 2S years ago.

London, Oct. 21.-The shortage in
cotton at Liverpool is becoming Sc
ricus. There are only few cargoes on
the way and supplies for a fortnight on
hand. 1t is almost inevitable that a
part of the machinery will be stopped
and that there will be repetition of
the famine of a year ago with pos
sibly strained situation lasting even
longer than on that occasion.
The increasing tendency of Ameri-
can producers to combine for the main
tenance of values is regarded as a
very serious factor, seeing the appar-
ent impossibility to obtain substitutes
for the American staple in ANYTHING
