NEW ORLEANS. May I4-The course OF

tenor Of private cables which int;mated that
peace negotiations in South Africa were ap-
preaching successful termination. Deiv
cries dropped of about five additional points
and spots were marked down one-sixteenth
with sales OF 1000 bales. 1t is possible that
foreign traders were Influenced to adopt the
tendency OF American markets, fearing that
the level of price was not justified. II such
was the case events, Of today on this side
should call for decided change. Shortly af-
ter the opening here 1t developed that liqui-
dation had about spent its force and as the
day proceeded offerings diminished In guam
tity SO that covering by scattered shorts Gre
ated a frmness AMI prices steadily recovered
till a sharp advance was established. Clos
Ing quotations 3@l7 points higher on
this crop and points up on the next.
/ Today's action clearly illustrated the dan
ger attending speculative transactions in Sum-
mer deliveries either side. These positions
are undoubtedly full Of surprises and one en-
gaging in them must be constantly prepared
for the unexpected to happen. The imprve-
ment In contracts did not arouse activity in
the spot department but 1t served to create
a more confident feeling amongst holders. Any
revival in demand for actual cotton at this
period would have a very good effect.

mind that we are considerably ahead of last

be we'll to see these figures wiped out and
then watch how they may run for awhile
before jumping TO the conclusion that shall
be confronted with famine about which we
can speak more intelligently after the dan

A VESSEL BURNING AT SEA.
Large ship ON Fire Twenty Miles
from Boston--Sea Too Rough for
Help to Reach Her.

Gloucester, Mass, Dec. 22.-lt Is be-
lieved that a large vessel, either a
tank steamer with oil or sailing
craft loaded with some highly-inflam-
mable material, was burned Sunday
nigkt In Massachusetts, bay, about
twenty miles outside OF Boston har-
Dor. A life-saving crew from West
Gloucester made u strong effort to
reach her, but q stiif southeast gale
drove them back when they were still
ten miles away from the burning ship.
About i0:30 o'clock Sunday night two
Boston fishermen came into port and
reported that they passed within two
miles of the burning vessel, but did
not attempt TO ascertain her identi-
ty. The crew of one of them, which
passed TO the leeward, reported smell
ing burning oil and stated that the
vessel was a very large one, These
two fishermen passed the burning yes.
sci about half past eight, but at lo;3O
o'clock she could be seen from shore,
burning fiercely.
About 10:30 o'clock Sunday night
the Boston schooners Gertrude and
Emma W. Brown came In, both have
ing passed within short distance of
the burning vessel, but neither was
able TO give her name or tell Of the
fate of the crew.
Both agreed that the vessel was a
large one and that she looked like q
tank steamer.

Deutschland arrived here at quarter
past two Sunday afternoon.

Mississippi State News
A Unique PoloL

In the Supreme Court there vii.
be argued in January a criminal
case which will present one of the
most unique questions ever presented
to any court before. The case is
that Of the State against Tom Pull
pus, convicted Of murder in Chicka-
saw county, and his attorneys have
appealed against the judgment of
the lower court, setting up, among
other things, that the jury in the
case of Pulpus were influenced in
making up their verdict by cam
paign speech made by Maj. Varda-
man on the day the court was or
ganized. The bill of exceptions
in setting up this ground for reyer-
sal of the judgment recites that
the speech of Maj. Vardaman
aroused so much prejudice and race
antagonism in the minds Of the ju-
rors summoned for the extra term
that they did not give the defend
ant fair and impartial hearing.
Pulpus was sentenced to be hanged.
