advices were more favorable than anti
cipated and our market in sympathy
opened unchanged, advanced six to seven
points later on fresh buying, closing at
net gain of six points. Port receipts
for the five days are 10000 in excess of
last year. The semi weekly interior re-
ceipts were $1,000 against $4,000 last
year and $4,000 year before last, being
the largest on record for this time of
the year. The loss in stock, however,
was $4,000. against 900 last year and
$4,000 year before last. The movement
continues large but everything appertain-
ing to facts is ignored and sentiment is
rampantly bullish now on the expected
marked falling off in receipts during
March. These assertions have been in
circulation since December and although
the movement during the interim has
proven the incorrectness of such claims,
they are as vigorously disseminated from
week TO week and accepted only to meet
with no realization. Cables predicting
the long anticipated perpendicular drop
in the movement during March also oc-
casioned the firmness in Liverpool today
we must have decided decrease in re-
ceipts soon or short crop advocates must
abandon their estimates. The trade
have been working on a small crop basis.
but this on it's face points to a crop of
1O,933,O0O, therefore those believing and
working on crop of 100000 or under
cannot continue to assert that these fig
uLres are correct, but they will have to
prove that such is the case. For the
present manipulation and sentiment sus-
tain values, consequently if new buying
can be attracted to the article prices may
be maintained.

followed and the two johnson and Fos-
teri. directed Mr.. Alexander to go to his
room for his revolver. The man obeyed
and was followed by the two robbers,
who, when they had possession of the
weapon, told Mr. Alexander to unlock the
postoffice. Upon finding that he had not
the key, they ordered him to unlock the
safe. Mr. Alexander told him that he
did not know the combination. One of
the robbers then drew a knife, threaten
ing to cut his throat if he did not obey.
Mr.. Alexander opened the safe at that
and Johnson, laying his revolver down on
the top of it, proceeded to rifle it, while
Foster kept Mr.. Alexander covered.
Suddenly slight noise in the back of
the store, made by a cat, drew the at
tention of Foster. Mr.. Alexander quick
ly caught up the revolver from the top
OF the safe, and turning upon Foster, shot
him in the left side, just below the
heart. Foster fell and Mr.. Alexander
tried to shoot Johnson. The revolver
missed fire and the two grappled in a
life and death struggle. AS they fought
Foster fired at Alexander and the ball
struck him in the left thigh. Mr.. Alex
ander then fired again at Johnson and
wounded him in the shoulder and jaw,
the bullet ranging upward from the
shoulder and striking in the face.
Mr.. Alexander finally overpowered his
assailants and dragged them to the
porch. He then fell, weakened from the
loss of blood.
Gates and Mills were waiting outside
for their companions, and all four made
off, the uninjured men helping the i'm

discussion of the relative punishment
of the two men. Most of the Republl-
can members of the committee hold that
to Senator Tillman should be awarded
a more severe form of rebuke than to
Senator McLaurin, while the Democrats
do not generally concede there should be
discrimination.
Senator Bailey quoted at length from
the speech made by Senator Tillman,
which provoked the reply of Senator
McLaurin, contending that it did not
make a specific charge of bribery. The
Democrats also held out stiffiy against
all suggestions looking to the suspension
of the privileges of Senators as an at
tack on the rights of the State they rep
resent, rather than on the Senators
themselves.
When the commite adjournd it's MEM
bers professed to be hopeful that
unanimous agreement would be reached,
but they were not so hopeful as they
had been when the noon recess was
taken The proceedings were not of a
character to permit of any definite con-
clusion as to what the result would be,
though so far as they went they indicat
ed censure as the form of punishment
more likely to be recommended. Some
Of the Republicans, however, are holding
out for a more pronounced robuke to
Senator Tillman than could be given in
any verbal reprimand.
The sub committee appointed is COM
posed of Senators Burrows, Hoar, For
aker, Republicans and Senator'S Pettus
and Bailey, Democrats: This sub-com-
mittee will meet tomorrow afternoon and
make an effort to frame resolution for
the action of the full committee, which
will meet again at 10 o'clock Friday
