LIQUIDATION BY
 THE ROOM LONGS Cotton Declines in Sympathy With Disappointing Cables ADVANCE SIGNAL FOR BEARS As Market Starts Downward Rumor Is Circulated That Strong Bear
 Clique Had Been Formed
 for Manipulation.
ADVANCE SIGNAL FOR BEARS

New York, December 10.-The cotton market opened steady at a decline of points to an advance of points, the de- clines being in sympathy with disappoint- ing cables, which induced liquidation by room longs. Almost immediately, how ever, the parket was rallied by renewal of bull support and reports that northern spinners have been buying very freely recently, and without buying orders the market was advanced until near the end of the first twenty minutes, prices were net 4 to points higher The advance was the signal for considerable bear pres sure, and as the market started down. ward rumors were circulated that strong bear clique had been formed on the theory that the continued bull move- ment is offsetting in the popular mind the governments small crop estimate, while it was also reported that demand in the southern spot markets was falling off
 Interior receipts also were running full, although the port movement shows sub siding tendency and the accumulation of
  point to a good increase in the weeks visible supply figures. Notwithstanding these factors. the market showed great stubbornness under pressure. At one time, just before midday. 1t was at net decline of 9 to 15 points on the active months, but was rallied again, and in the early afternoon ruled rather firm, but continued very irregular
 The close was steady, with July 1 point higher, but the other months were un- changed to 10 points lower. Sales esti- mated at 50O,00O bales Exports were full. Estimates for tomorrow's leading points were about a standoff, and the southern spot markets easier at unchanged prices, to a decline of quarter of a cent.

Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-A young
Chicago millionaire, Richard K. Sprad-
ling, was recently touring with
friend when at a tea house in the viii
lage of Isobe-Mura he came across
dainty little maiden named o Suye
San She captured Spradling's heart
at once and through an interpreter the
millionaire declared his love. But the
little waitress shook her head, and, al
though only sixteen years old, told him
not to talk nonsense. He assured her
he would make her a fine lady, but
Suye San pouted and said she liked
Japan best
The tourist approached her father,
the owner of the house, offering $15,-
900 if he would allow him to make
his daughter his bride. But the old
Japanese declined. explaining that he
disaproved of short engagements, and
besides as o Suye San was his only
daughter he could not spare her.
The visitor went away but next day
the little japanese girl received
beautiful ornament for her hair which
cost Mr.. Spradling a lot Of money. The
lover came again a few days later and
renewed his entreaties, likewise his
offer to papa, but all in vain.

WouId-Be Assassin Of MageIs.
sen Stood Near Street Lamp.

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-The follow
ing cablegram from special corre-
spondent is the first direct news from
Beirut since the attempt to murder
Vice Consul Magelssen there on the
evening of Sunday, Aug. %, an affair
which prompted President Roosevelt
to order the United States squadron
in Europe to the coast of Syria post
haste. The dispatch is important in
showing that the would-be assassin
did not shoot from ambush but when
he fired his revolver was standing In
the full glare of a street gas lamp.
Especial Cable to the New York
World and st. Paul Globe.) Beirut,
Syria, Aug 30.-United States Vice
Consul Magelssen was not killed. The
attempt made upon his life last Sunday
evening failed, although the revolver
was discharged directly against Mr..
Magelssens carriage by his assailant
who was standing under street gas
light not far from the American con-
sulate. Our vice consul was not hit
and is uninjured The Turkish author

No New Developments in the
Turkish Situation Reported.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 30.-Other
than the advices from Admiral Cotton an
nouncing his departure with the cruisers
Brooklyn and San Francisco for Beirut,
there were no developments in the Turk
ish situation today so far as Washington
Is concerned. No additional information
came today from United States Minister
Leishman, Secretary Hay saying tonight
he had not. heard from our minister to
Turkey since yesterday morning.
The orders to Admiral Cotton to pro-
ceed to Beirut will not be Cancelled, it is
officially stated tonight. unless the pres
ident SO decided. Such AN order at this
time, however, apparently would not avail
anything. as the admiral is now on his
way to Turkey.
The interview with Chekib Bey. the
Turkish minister at. his summer home at
Sayville Long Island. was topic of al
most general discussion in official circles
today. That the minister manifestly is
perturbed over the situation of affairs in
mess over the presence of an American
fleet in Turkish waters, lest it be taken by
the revolutionists as an evidence of the
American governments sympathy with
their cause, it is thought will not be a
strong enough reason for its withdrawal
The administration regards it as a sa-
cred duty to demand that prompt and
adequate assistance should be given to
our interests in the disturbed district
and for this reason feels justified in hav-
ing the warships sent to Turkey.
Contrary to expectation, Shekih Bey
had not arrived in Washington up to 9
o'clock tonight, and inquiry at the lead
ing hotels failed Ito disclose that he had
.telegraphed he was coming. A number of
dispatches are awaiting his arrival here.
Presumably some of them are from Con-
stantinople.
Secretary Hay will grant the minister an
city. With the departure of the cruisers
Brooklyn and San francisco for Beirut
this morning, as announced by Admiral
Cotton to the navy department, the en-
tire European squadron is now on it's
way to the Turkish seaport, the gunboat
Machias having left Genoa yesterday. The
cruisers are much faster than the gunboat
and Admiral Cotton cabled that he ex-
pected they would reach Beirut by FRI
day next.

UNIONS COME FIRST
Catholic Priest Denounces
Oath of Organized Workmen.

MARSHALL, Mich, Aug. 30.-The
Rev. P A. Baarte, rector of ST. Mary's
church of this city, today in a sermon
on education said that no Catholic
could consistently take or keep the
oath of some labor unions, and he
mentioned particularly the Typograph-
ical union, part of whose oath he
quoted as follows: Il hereby solemnly
and sincerely swear that my fidelity to
the Typographical union and my duty
to the members thereof, shall in no
sense be interfered with by any al
1egiance that I may now or hereafter
owe to any other organization, social,
political or religious
Father Baarte said this oath placed
the union before the church or state
and distinctly impeaches the loyalty
and Catholicity of those who takessuch
an oath.
Possibly the leaders may not have
realized the full force of the words
they used in the oath, he said, but
whether they did or not every patriot
&c citizen and every sincere, consist
ent Catholic should demand that such
an oath be modified and that the oh
jectionable clause be cut out.

Having been separated for fourteen
years, two brothers were reunited yes
terday afternoon on East Fourth street
in most unusual manner. The broth
ers, since they left their homes four
teen years ago, had not heard of each
other till yesterday, when they met
under peculiar circumstances.
A young man was standing in font
of the cigar store at the corner of
Fourth and Sibley streets apparently
not knowing what to do. He was
dressed in overalls and had on dis
colored working jacket. He was to all
appearances a harvester, just returning
from Dakota. He stood still for sew
eral minutes absently looking at the
buildings.
While the harvester was standing on
the corner a we'll dressed young man
carrying two grips came down Sibley
street towards the depot. Dressed to
perfection he had the air of a smart
commercial traveller. On crossing the
street, and casting a glance at the har-
vester, he stopped, continued his gaze,
finally dropped his grips and advanced
towards him. The latter, on seeing the
traveller, betrayed great surprise.
"Bob!" exclaimed the traveller. as
he grasped the hand Of the poorly
dressed harvester.

the fatal accident the boat which was
capsized was far from the other two.
1t is said that the tipping of the
boat was due to movements of the oc-
cupants. Persons who saw the acct
dent from the island say that Mrs.
Carlson rose in her seat, and in reach
ing towards her husband lost her bal
ance and fell over the gunwale. In at
tempting to rescue her the two men
in the boat fell overheard, overturning
the boat as they fell.
Over dozen boats were Immediate
ly near the spot where the boat had
capsized and a search was kept up till
1880, when the moon disappeared,
leaving the lake so dark that further
attempts to recover the bodies were of
no avail. The searchers drew off the
lake shortly before midnight, leaving
the bodies in the lake.
Walsfred Carlson was twenty nine
years old and had been employed by
the Hackett, Walther & Gates Hard
ware company. His wife was slightly
his junior. They leave no children.
They were both born in Sweden and
had resided in st. Paul ten years.
Seth Johnson was twenty eight
years old, and was employed as a
cooper by the Northwestern Cooperage
works. He was born in Sweden, and
had resided in st. Paul five years.

/ CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-Without a
word of warning two men We're killed
and two others wounded by ldup
men at the barns of the Chicago City
Railway company, Sixty-first and
State streets. at an early hour today.
The shooting was done by three men
who escaped after securing $4,000.
Three of the men who were shot
were working in the cashiers Office
and the other was motorman asleep
in the outer Office. The men in the

aware of the robbers presence, and tha
motorman was killed as he was rising
from a bench where he had been

posed of all the opposition of the en-
ployes before they entered the office.
Choosing the time when the employees
were busily engaged in balancing up
the receipts of the night, just after the
last conductor had turned in his money
and left the barns, the robbers sud-
denly appeared at the receiving win
dow and began shooting.
The first intimation those inside the
Office had that anything was wrong
was when they heard the shots. The
first bullet fired struck Stewart and he
fell to the floor without word. Biehl
and Edmond, who were sitting near
Stewart, turned to see what was the
matter, but before they could leave
their chairs they were rendered help
less by the well directed bullets of the
robbers.
Johnson. the motorman who was
asleep on a bench in the outer Office,
hearing the noise, started up to go to
the assistance Of his companions, but
was shot and killed before he could get
on his feet.
Making sure that all opposition had
been removed, the ROBBERS then broke
open the door Of the cashiers Office
with a sledge hammer, and secured
$4,000 in bills which was lying on the
desk. They then made their escape.
-Four men were arrested three hours
after the robbery, on suspicion of being
implicated in the crime, but they have
not as yet been identified.
