Absence Of Killing Frosts in the

New York. Oct. 1.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Confidence in the outlook for next
years business is a noticeable feature
in the trade situation. The volume of
orders booked for next springs delivery
is large for this season Of the year. and
is explained partly by the exceptionally
good business done in fall and winter
account and the large crop yield for the
year and alsoFby the good position OF
the winter wheat as cold weather APP
proaches. Absence of killing frosts al
the South has allowed the maturing OF
a considerable top crop of cotton. This

CUBA FOREIGN COUNTRY.
Important Decision Rendered b,
United States Judge.

New York. Oct. IA decision. which
was interpreted as signifying that the
island Of Cuba was "a foreign country"
as understood by the United States Con-
stitution, from the time Of the evacua-
ton OF the island by the Spaniards up to
the establishment of the new republic,
has been handed down by United States
Judge Edward 3. Thomas of Brooklyn.
The Judge holds. therefore, that ali crimes
committed In Cuba during the military
rule Of the United States on the island
are subject to the jurisdiction of the
courts Of Cuba. The law department IN
Washington will receive copy of the
decision, which Is the outcome OF the
case of Joseph Asia, a sailor on the
ship Potorna, charged with killing John
Orlin while the vessel was cruising in
the waters about Hayti last July.
Owing to a rebellion in Hayti at the
time, there was no established form of
law. the Potoma. however, being regis
tered as a Cuban ship, under the military
government of Governor-General Wood
In addition the Potoma sailed under the
American nag and her ownership was
vested in Americans residing in New York
City. All those things brought up the
question whether the Potoma. was to ne
considered an American or a Cuban ship,
or whether the prisoner was subject 10
the Jurisdiction Of the courts OF CUBA
or the United, States. The ship was re-
garded as an extension of Cuban SOIL,
this complicating the matter.

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.

New York, Oct. 31:.-R. G. Dun Co.'S
weekly review tomorrow will say:
Speculation waits upon politics. but the
legitimate business is not disturbed by
the approaching election. New labor con-
trovesies have been promptly settled by
advancing wages and the gradual i'm
provement In supply of coal has reduced
prices and restored activity In manufac-
the tardy movement of freight, miles of
cars being stalled by the lack of motive
power and many roads refuse to accept
furthe" shipments until the blockades
are relieved. Lower temperature has
stimulated retail sales of seasonable mer-
chandise, but frost comes too late to Sc
riously Injure great number of prod
ucts. Liberal consumption sustains quo
tations in most lines, domestic being sup
plemented by large exports.
Operating expenses of the railways have
increased in many cases to such a degree
that net earnings are somewhat curtai!
ed. but gross earnings for October thus
far exceed last years by Al per cent
and those of 1900 by 1875 per cent. Undue
significance is attached to the announce
INIT that the Frick Company will not ad-
vance next years price for coke above
50. Although this Is in line with other
conservative efforts of leading interests
to prevent inflated prices the probable
influence on the outside market will not
be great as the bulk of output will GO
to the various plants of the United States
being made at SIG in extreme cases and
the scarcity has closed more blast fur
naces.
The future course of the iron and steel
industry will he largely influenced by
this fuel shortage. much business being
permanently lost to home producers and
prices in some departments already show
the effect of dsorganized condition. Rail-
way needs have not diminished, numerous
large orders constantly appearing, while
the pressure for locomotives is causing
large premiums to be offered Structural
shapes for bridge and shipbuilding are
next in point of urgent demand. Agree
ment on the tin plate wage scale may
secure a lot of business that now goes
out of the country. and some reduction
in prices is expected. Wire nails are also
cheaper but as. rule quotations are
well maintained.
New nd shoe manufacturers are
receiving i-iltonal orders at fully sus-
tanned quotations. and many shops are
assured of full operation well into Janu-
airy. Supplementary orders for winter
goods have decreased. indicating that
wants will be supplied when shipments
are made and producers are pushing de-
liveries in order to take inventories.
Leather is in better demand with prices

upon further plans.
Montgomery veterans who are In charge
of the preliminary details of the reunion,
are preparing for $500 old soldiers vino
followed the Southern Cross.
The attendance upon the reunion last
year was 100 veterans. This year 1t is
confidently expected that 1000 more Con-
federate veterans will participate in the
reunion. The local committees are going
forward with their work with this esti-
mate as a basis.
The reunion crowd will, of course, be
many times larger. The visitors who
were not soldiers will greatly outnumber
the Confederate veterans. But the old
soldiers will form the center of attrac-
ton. The interest of the occasion clus-
tiers about them. The exercises are be-
ing arranged In their honor and for their
qualification.
The remarkably low rate which has been
granted for the two days reunion will
attract great crowds to Montgomery. All
railroads will give a rate OF one cent a
mile Travelled. This rate is one of the
lowest ever allowed by the Southeastern
Passenger Association.
No other low rate for any occasion this
fall has been granted by the railroads
and thousands of people in Alabama will
avail themselves of this opportunity of
visiting Montgomery.

BAPTISTS OF MONTGOMERY
TO GATHER In GREAT REUNION
All Members and Friends of Denomination Invited to
!. Participate in Interesting Exercises at
Auditorium Friday Evening.

The white Baptists Of Montgomery are
preparing for an immense union gather
ing at the Auditorium Friday evening No
vember z. N @ W
( This meeting will be unique IN the his
tory Of Montgomery. The Baptists, at
least, have never had such a gathering
since the early days when they had only
one congregation In the city. People of
this Denomination have been dwelling in
the County OF Montgomery ever since the
second decade Of the last century but
they had no organization in what is now
the city OF Montgomery untilS the year
1899 In that year a congregation was
formed which, upon its. reorganization
in 1882, became what Is now known as
the First Baptist Church. an whose pas
torate some OF the best known and ablest
men OF the denomination have iabored.
The denomination which has always had
an honored history in the city. had grown
SO rapidly by the middle of the century
that somewhere In the mites it was found
desirable to form second congregation.
the body now known as the Adams Street
Church. This second body. a daughter OF
the first. has gone hand in hand with
the first in religious work, but not many
years elapsed after its organization be-
fore 1t was discovered that two churches
Of the denomination were not adequate to
the growing UNCONVENTIONAL needs.
So. in due course OF time and as the
city grew and the work of the denomna-
ton progressed other local organizations
came intos existence.
Taking them in the order of their con-
stitution they are the Clayton Street
Church. the South Montgomery. now
Southside Church, and the West End
Church, all hopeful and growing interests
that are becoming more and more en-
trenched in the affections of their con-
stituents. - 1893 <
Now the members of these Ave churches
and all friends who worship with them
and support their work, are expecting to
meet together around an interesting pro-
gram in the place and at the time sug-
gested. No cards win be sent out, but in
this and other general ways an invitation
is extended to all members of the
churches, all Baptists in the city not con-
nected with these churches. and all
friends of the denomination who wor-
ship with these churches. ,.e
The specific purposes Of the reunion
have been stated in the Calendar of the
First Baptist Church as follows: w..
The pastors of our fives churches are
