Chief JUSTICE KELLY
LEAVES CAIRO COURT

NEW YORK, April 1O-Private advices
received here confirm the rumored resig-
nation of Chief Justice A. NJ. Kelly, of
the international court at Cairo, Egypt.
The vacancy is to be filled by President
Roosevelt. The position is regarded as a
very desirable one.
The resignation of Justice Kelly is I'M
derstood here to have been due to the
death of his wife. Since her death the
scenes which were associated with so
large a part of their happily married life
have become depressing to Mr.. Kelly and
he determined to seek relief in travel. He
will go shortly to London, where he is a
member of a number of clubs and where
he has many friends.
Justice Kelly first came into national
prominence through his nomination by
President Cleveland in 1856 as envoy ex-
traordinary and minister plenipotentiary
to Italy. He is "a native of New Jersey,
but at the time of his appointment he had
been for many years a resident of Vir-
ginia. His appointment as minister to
Italy was cancelled on account Of the OBJ
jections of the Italian government. He
was then accredited by President Cleve-
land as minister to Vienna. The Austrian
government also declared him persona
non grata.
Secretary Bayard addressed a note to
the Austrian government in which he
commented on the unreasonableness of
race and religious distinctions. To re-
lieve the administration of President
Cleveland of further embarrassment, Mr..
Kelly resigned. He was later appointed
by President Cleveland to the interna-
tional court at Cairo, and has served In
that court continuously since that time.

SOUTHERN STRIKERS GO
BACK TO THEIR WORK

The strike OF the machinists on the
Southern railway is over.
The fifty members of the union who
walked out OF the Southern shops in this
city last May and the 600 men who left
their machines in the various shops
throughout the system win return to work
at once. probably within the next few
days.
The conferences which have taken place
within the last few weeks have resulted
I'm this. The representatives Of the strik-
ers have received assurances that their
committee would be well received after
the strike was formally declared Off and
they have agreed upon this course.
The strikers were contending for two
things principally. One was a nine hour
day instead Of ten hour day, but ten
hours pay. and the other was a reduction
OF the number of apprentices in the shops
to one apprentice for every fifteen ma
chinists. Formerly. it. appears. the South
ern had many more apprentices than this.
Since then the Southern has suffered
much. and the officers of the road other
than Mr.. Cannon were in favor, for sew
eral months prior to the settlement, Of
treating with the strikers. II was the gen.
eral impression, however, that Mr.. Can
non would leave the road II the strike was
settled without his consent.
Now comes the dog fall between the
road and the strikers. Conferences have
been held at which IT has been practically
mapped out which demands would be ac-
ceded to by the Southern railway. The
strikers were told. however, that nothing
would be conceded unless they first re-
turned to work.
This the committee from the machinists
agreed to, and the strikers will return to
work.
They viii then appoint a committee
which they viii send to the officials Of
the Southern, who will officially recognize
the union, treat with the committee. ac-
coed to certain demands and then take up
the regular work that was in progress
prior to the strike.

New York Cotton.

NEW YORK. April 12.-The cotton market
opened steady with prices 1 to points high
er in mere response to frmness in Liverpool
Room sentiment was bearish as a whole ana
soon after the call the whole list rapidly
sold back some four to five points to last
nights bids. The New Orleans market fol-
lowed a similar course which led to BELIEF
in some quarters that southern bulls were
Tightening their load owing to the increasing
tendency of port receipts. At S.95 for May
and SIS for August there were generous buy
ing orders in evidence but any rise above those
figures Immediately invited liquidation and
bear selling. Later the movement spread TO
commission houses which gave special atten-
ton to unloading May, June and July con-
tracts. There were few supporting orders in
evidence and bull sentiment for the time be-
ing was at low ebb. Trading was spasmodic
and chiefly OF a Saturday evening-up character.
Port receipts for the day were estimated at
1900 bales, against $500 bales same day last
year.
/. Estimates for an lin sight" this week In
excess of that for the same week last year
created an unfavorable impression.

PRESIDENT TOO BUSY
TO TALK POLITICS

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Ma
son was among the presidents callers to-
day and during the conference the presi-
dent authorized the statement that he was
taking no part whatever in the Illinois
senatorial contest. HIS relations with
Senator Mason, Representatives Hopkins
and Dawes were alike most friendly and
he had done and would do nothing that
could be possibly construed into an evil
dence of partiality for either of the candi-
dates.

cupied with being president" said Mr..
Roosevelt, "to admit of my taking any
part in the senatorial contest in Illinois"

At the close of last week negotiations were
concluded for a large sale of pig iron at $3.50;
