TWENTY MOROS SLAIN
CAPTAIN PERSHING'S COLUMN
 STEADILY ADVANCES.
Native Forts Captured After Being Bombarded by the American Artillery-No Casualties
 Among U. s. Troops.

Manila, Oct. 1.-The Maciu Moros in Mindanao have offered but slight resis- tance to the column under Captain Per- shing of the 18th Cavalry.
 After a series of skirmishes Monday and Tuesday of this week, the Moros retreat ed into six forts on the shores of the lake. When a courier left Maciu yesterday for Camp Wears, Captain Pershing was pre- pairing to assault the last Moro strong bold.
 The American column reached the form- CT camp at Maciu Sunday night. Monday the Moro5 opened fire on them with a brass cannon and rifles from a series of new forts which had been erected since Captain Pershing's first visit to the place.
 The battery under Captain William S. McNair sealed ridge commanding the position of the Moros and shelled them out The engineers under Captain Jay NJ Morrow constructed a trail over the swamp fianking the Moro position. The men of Captain Pershing's column crossed the swamp by the trail and captured and destroy ed three of the Moro forts.
 The Moros stood but short while and ran as soon as the artillery opened on them.
 Captain Pershing has been ordered to destroy the forts until the Moros make peace,
 Twenty Moros were killed and many were wounded. There were no casual ties amoLg the Americans.
 The letter of General Sumner, In com mand on Mindanao to the Maciu Sultans has been delivered.

several famous churches reveals this in- teresting fact. Within the last few weeks the registers of such typical mid dle-class churches as St. Pancras. St. in the Strand, and the Pro-Cathedral of Liverpool. have been scanned, and at each of these the register bristles with Albert Edwards.
 Fluctuations of national sentiment are reflected as in looking glass in the registers of the churches named. At the time of the coronation several girl ba- bies were christened. Corona, while on the declaration of peace quite number or httle Misses Peace confronted the clergy.
 When Queen Victoria cied many thous- ands of motheSs christened their newly born children after that lllustrious mon- arch. One loyal mother called her child Victoria alexandra. There Is quite run on Alexandra in the parish of St. Pan cras.
 The influence of the late war upon re- cent baptisms was truly extraordinary. Grace Darling Pretoria is one of the Chri titan names registered at St. Mary s: Whitechapel, in 1909. In August of that year a whitechapel soldier sent his infant son to the font of St. Mary's and had him baptized Henry Edward Baden-Pow- ell. Another Whitechapel soldier. about the same time, had his baby girl christ ened Grace Pretoria.
 The whitechapel parish church also re- cords Sarah Pretoria, Mary Ann Preto- ria and Edith Sarah Baden. St. Pan- cras Church register bears many names of the sort: on two pages facing each other six Pretorias are recorded. Here also is Charles Hector Macdonald and dozens of Badens and Baden-Powells. One St. Pancras infant was christene1 Carnival, in remembrance of the war carnival held there in aid of soldiers widows and orphans.
 War names are recorded to an extent unique in the whole country at the Liv- erpool Pro-Cathedral The register for 1900 positively teens with Badens, Ba- den-Powsals, Redvers and Buffers. By far the most popular war names were Baden and Redvers. of which there are literally hundreds.
 Particular periods of our history have invariably brought forth fashions in names. Perhaps the most striking in- stance on record of this curious, but in evitable, influence is that of the Puritan period. when such names as Prudence, Mercy, Faith. Hope, Charity and so on came into vogue, to say nothing of such extravagances as Love-not-the-Worl1 Original Sin, and the notorious name of Praise-God Barebones's eon-to wit: If- Christ-had- -for-thee-thOu-hadst- been-damned-Barebo
 The register at St. Clement Danes Church shows that among the educated and professional classes simple names are favored, while the .ess refined indulge in far more pretentious nomenclature.
 ''Marys and Anns and Susans are go- ing clean out of fashion with the lower classes said one parish clerk, and Irenes and Penelopes and Gladiolas are all the rage. Only" he added pathetic ally, they will call them Irons and Penny-lopes."

 NEW ORLEANS. Oct I.-Liverpool showed an inclination to take hold of spots and de- liveries were about what was expected. con sequent1y market opened 3d4 points higher and ruled steady on the bullish crop reports merce and New Orleans Times Democrat. Notwithstanding this there was a general dis position to realize previous to the issuance Of the bureau report and this feeling was ac, ceIlerated by a rumor that the report would not be issued before the 10th inst, causing n decline of BOA points from the top. Later, howeer 1t was ascertained that the bureau report would be issued on the 3rd inst, as usual Values responded by steadying slight H and closed practically unchanged. A leaa- ing New York bull operator was out today with a circular making the condition 6i per cent. and estimating the crop on these returns at e 500 900 bales. The New York, Journal of Commerce makes the condition during Sep fefnber 647, against 7I last month, or a decrease of 6.3 points In condition during the past 8 Odays. The New Orleans Times-Demo- crat was also osIt and while giving no figures saws the reports indicate a slight backward movement in the crop condition for the belt ns a whole during September. The bureau report will be issued on Friday, and as last month the condition was 64 per cent. and the ssnruarison for September condition last Year 4vas 6I, it is generally thought the average condition this year for September will be 6 sr under Many think even if the condition is Gi or slightly less, that there will be cop siderable realizing and that liquidation will be more pronounced in the event that the con aition figures are above 6l. However, should ffe report be more unfavorable than expected ff is questionable whether any marked decline will be established MT. Buston. the Eng 1lsh estimator, we are informed is travelling. around the South and may issue his estimate Towards the latter part of the month In 4he event of any decided decline materializ- from Liverpool indicate that spinners are en- tering the market.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. l.-After various fiuc- tuations under the decimal system Liverpool today marked an advance of point in deliv- cries, while spots in the process of revision were quoted at 4.SS for midding, the days transactions having amounted to 900 bales. Private cables expressed a hopeful view of the future course of the English market and reported some active buying by spinners. The disposition here appeared to be to let we'll enough alone for the present. All develop ments favored the market to greater or less extent, but traders seemed to fear that by forcing additional advance the temptation might be presented for country spot dealers to sell indiscrimlnately with detrimental ef' feet, and there was diminished animation though the tone held steady. Closing quota tions are practically unchanged from yester- days. In the course of wire communication between the New Orleans Cotton Exchange and the Government scatistician. it developed that the monthly report will be issued posi- lively on Oct. 3rd and figure the condition of the crop during September. As some fear was entertained about the report being post poned all uncertainty Is now dispelled on that point meanwhile the trade is looking anxiously to this feature to give prices pro- nounced impetus one way or the other and opinions on the actual outcome may be placed in the category of simple guess-work.

 NEW YORK, Oct 1.-The cotton market opened quiet and firm, with prices l@4 points higher and continued to improve after the call on fairly active covering and some investment buying later led by strong Wall Street inter ests. The factors which most contributed to the early strength were bulish Liverpool ca bies, smaller receipts. reports Of active spot demand in the South at full prices, weather chart showing continued rains over the greater portion of the belt and belief that Friday 8 bureau condition statement for October Will show decline from the statement of Sept 8.

 Wheat was strong and higher With good house buying was responsible for the upturn. Another rallying feature was the fact that many traders had anticipated a drop in prices when the September deal was closed up and had sold short accordingly. The drop failed to materialize, however. and instead of a weak market there was a strong feeling prevalent and buying was of better character than for some time. Shorts covered freely. Smaller receipts with poor grading was also a factor December opened shade to ikGl4c higher at 694sG66% and the price rose steadily throughout the day. The high point was at

NEW YORK; Oct. I.-There were traces of the constant variations in the course of prices all day, but the tone became quieter as the day progressed and affairs of the market showed a tendency to settle down to normal condition after the excitement of the previ- ous two days.

The sympathetic effect of the buying of Reading, Southern Railway and United States Steel was manifest among the coalers generally. both anthracite and bituminous. and amongst several of the independent steel com panies. But the buying was not pursued to notably higher level and there were constant reactions throughout the day.
