Cotton Letter.

c. w. Lee & Co.'S Letter to H. D. Goth
 ran x Co.,
 New York, November 5.-Once more new records must be reported. This morning March sold at S.21 and January at S.41. There is perhaps less of mo- ment in the new low levels established than in the way January went down from 8.49 to S.41 with radly a struggle This is worthy of observation because it has not happened before. Eevery point has been contested, savagely, bitterly but today the market had an ugly look not for the bears as heretofore, but for the bulls. Another fact is worthy of comment, the market moved in a natural fashion, The brokers supposed to oper- ate for the January pool tried to stem the decline by buying several thousand bales of March at S.25. It was no use The selling kept on just the same and this buying order was easily filled. There was an attempt to get rid of January but there were too few buyen and this soon closed. On the decline a fear of frost predictions and the possibility of a general freeze in the cotton belt brought in shorts. This soon carried prices up points, but selling began again and the old weakness developed This is all that can hold the market now. If

The Coffee Market.

New York, November 5.-The market for coffee futures opened barely steady at decline of to 10 points. The de- cline was due to quite a general average of bearish early news. Both European markets were lower and the primary markets also reported a lower range of values Estimates of the probable re- ceipts at the Brazilian ports for the com ing month showed somewhat larger than expected and this proved depressing. Then. too, the figures of the worlds visi- bfe showed an increase. Taken altogeth- CT it was distinctly a bearish day. To- ward the close values worked a little fur ther and the close was finally to 15 points net lower. Sales, 40,750 bags; Mo- vember s4.95@5; December, $5.05; Janu- ary, $5 1O65.

DOLE TO SEE ROOSEVELT.
1t Is Believed the Governor of Hawai-
 Will Be Removed.

San Francisco, April 1.-Gov. s. M. Dole of Hawaii arrived tonight on the steamer Sierra enroute to Washington to discuss with President Roosevelt Ha- waiian affairs
 The anti missionary and Dole element of Honolulu contend that Governor Dole goes to Washington on the defensive, and that his visit will result in the appoint ment of a successor. Governor Dole's supporters on the other hand, express much satisfaction that he is going to see the President and say that this con- ference with the president will clear away all danger of any act in adverse to Dole's policy.
 The Honolulu Star says:
 Gov. Doles visit to Washington under the present circumstance marks an epoch in the insular annals. It marks the ques- tion whether the carpetbaggers or the true Americans are going to have the control of the island. Right will prevail. and the governor will return to receive A regular ovation.

RIGHTS OF MINORITY AND
 MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS

New York. April Limited States Cir cult Judge LaCombe delivered an import ant opinion today affecting the rights of minority and majority stockholders of corporations. It was on the motion of Louis Windmuller and Nathan Gigour, minority stockholders to enjoin dissolu- tion of the Spirits Distributing Com pany by the Distilling Company of Am erica, the majority stockholders. A deci- sion along similar lines was rendered three weeks ago in the United States court at Trenton. In this case Judge Kirkpatrick overruled the motion for an injunction. The same plaintiffs filed a brief in the United States Supreme court making the same contentious. and this suit was moved by the delendants to the United States court.

 As soon as the news of his capture was learned q mob formed tonight and marched to the jail, demanding the ne- gro. The sheriff refused to deliver the keys and pleaded that the law should be allowed to take it's course Upon the sheriffs refusal to deliver the keys the jail door was forced open and sledge hammers and the steel cage Of Aliens cell broken in. The negro was carried a square and a half away and allowed to make a statemen Allen declared that he was innocent and prayed that the guilty pol son would be found.

Rome, Ga. April 1.-Walter Allen, rfe- gro charged with criminally assaulting Miss Blossom Adamson, a 15-year-old girl in this city yesterday afternoon, was taken from the jail tonight by 40O0 people, who battered the prison doors down and hanged him to an electric light pole in the principal portion of this city. A vol ley was fired afterward and fully thou sand bullets entered the negro's body.
 Miss Adamson was on her way to a dressmaker's late yesterday afternoon, when she was met by Allen, who told her that a dressmaker at a designated resi- dence was waiting to see her. The young girl went to the house mentioned by the negro, who followed her into the house, which Miss Adamson found was vacant.
 A lady on nearby porch attracted by the noise of the struggle, succeeded

case Judge LaCombe says
 Practically the whole case of the plant ifs rests on the proposition that majority stockholders who are individually inter- ested in the abrogation of this contract may not vote for a dissolution of the cor poration because their doing so will di- rectly abrogate the contract which mi nority stockholders find it for their ind- vidual interest to keep alive. If the con tract be separately with each stockholder to pay him a fixed sum for a third term which dissolution will not shorten, it Is immaterial whether the corporation be dissolved or not. But even If this be not so this court is inclined to concur with Judge Kirkpatrick in the conclusion that majority stockholder may vote to dissolve. even if he be influenced that course by a wish to destroy a con- tract beneficial to the corporation but onerous to himself. The motion for in- junction is denied and the stay vacated"
