New York, Dec. 1.-THE cotton mar

newal of bear pressure and liquidation

gain Of about Z to IL points.
Following this there was a period Of
narrow and irregular fluctuations after
which the market became very firm again
led by New Orleans, where the bull leader
was reported to be bidding for large
blocks at an advanced price. During the
balance OF the session the market showed
an upward tendency and the close was

The Whitecap Cases.

Judge Powell and District At
torney Greaves were here last
Thursday, agreeable to expecta-
tions, to conduct the preliminary
trial of Ed. Norton, John Falvey
and Russell Matthews, charged
with whitecapping. District At
torney Greaves conducted the
prosecution and Hon. f. +. Bren-
nan represented the defendants.
1t developed that the charge
against the accused was for visit
ing the home of Stewart Fairman,
colored, on the Poets place, in
beat 5, on the night of December
18th, in company with from so to
Is other armed men and warning
him to leave. The witness is re-
lied on to prove this were Stewart
Fairman himself, who swore
positively that he recognized these
three men, land Joe Currie, another
negro, living near by, who swore
that the night the notice was serv-
ed he saw large squad of armed
men. pass his house, among whom
he distinctly recognized all three
of the accused men, whom he knew
well.
The defendants sought to escape
by proving an alibi, but Judge
Powell held that two negroes, with
no personal grievance against any
of the men, would not take their
lives in their hands, so to speak,
and come into court and give such
testimony, if it were not true, and
placed all three under bond of
$4,000 each for their appearance at
the next term of Circuit Court.
Ed. Smith and Hugh Magee,
two young men who had served as
alibi witnesses for the defendants,
had been implicated by Joe Cur
RE as members of the midnight
party which passed his house, and
when Judge Powell had decided
the other cases, be gave notice to
them to remain in court. Affida-
Wits which had already been pre-
pared, were then served on them
and they were required to give a
bond of $500 each. to appear be-
fore Justice Lanier on yesterday.
They came in yesterday and de-
cided to waive a preliminary trial
and were required by Justice La
nier to give bond of $1,000 each
for their appearance at Circuit
Court.
Now that a start has been effect
ed, it is expected that other ar
rests will soon follow. The
Governor offers a reward of $4,000
each for every whitecap con-
victed.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an intlamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars reward for
any case of deafness Caused by Catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

ed away at this place yesterday.
Francis Marion Drake was born ut
Rushville. ILL.,, Dec. 1880. In 1874 he
went TO California, but was in Iowa
when the civil war broke out and en-
listed as private in the Second Iowa
regiment at Unionville. He served
through the war with great credit and
came out of it with the brevet rank
of general. After the war he built
several hundred miles of railroads. In
1880 he founded Drake university at
Des Moines. He also aided Grinnel
university and at various times helped
out the Wesleyan university at Mount
Pleasant, Ia.
During the campaign in which Gen
eral Drake was elected governor Of
Iowa he was bitterly attacked because
of the fact that his offices were i'm
Chicago and that he spent a large pOr-
tiOn Of his time here. At the end of
his term he retired and was succeeded
by Governor Shaw, a close friend.
After his retireme Mt from politics he
engaged in railroad and manufactur-
ing interests. He was a large owner
in the American Steel and Wire COM
pany and the associated interests.

Receives Cheers at a Political Meet
nS-Entertainment for
Him.

London, Nov. 21.-W. J. Bryan, of
Nebraska, who is visiting England for
the first time devoted the opening day
of his stay here TO sightseeing. He
called on the United States ambassa-
dor, to whom he had a letter from Sec

bey, saw the king and queen of italy
on their way to the Guild hall, and
heard A. H. Asquith deliver Il speech.
At night he went to hear Chamber
lain. Bryan said the Asquith meeting
had a strangely familiar atmosphere
and that the arguments had ring not
at all foreign. He was greatly surprised
upon entering the hall to receive recog-
milton by a round of applause.
Ambassador Choate will entertain
Bryan next Wednesday at dinner at
Carleton House terrace, where he will
be given an opportunity of meeting a
large number of men prominent in
British public life. Secretary White
also expects to entertain the visitor at
a dinner to be given in the near future,
at which it is expected Premier Bal

LABOR ACCEPTING
REDUCTION IN WAGE
Pointed Out by Dun & &c. as Hopeful
Sign for Peace in World
of Industry.

New York, Nov Pr. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Labor organizations are accepting re-
ductions in wages without controversy,
which removes one threatening indus
trial factor, and in several branches of
business orders are more numerous,
but in the steel industry there is little
eXpecta ton of liberal buying until
1904. Construction work is decreas-
ing, despite optimistic reports of more
building permits issued last month
than a year ago. Mild weather still
checks distribution of merchandise, us
uaIly in brisk demand at this season,
which is reflected in restricted activity
at wooden and worsted mills and cloth
ing factories.
A week has passed without any fur
ther reduction in prices of iron and
steel, and sentiment in the trade favors
stability at the present position. Con-
Gessions are not readily obtained. es-
pecially on distant deliveries. Much
discussion. especially regarding prices
of steel rails. failed to produce any
alteration and railroads placed orders
for several thousand tons. Meanwhile
foreign markets are sought with more
persistence.
Failures this week were 249 in the
United States, against 266 last year,
and II in Canada, compared with "a
a year ago.

SEVERAL THOUSAND
ENGAGE IN A RIOT
Incident in Chicago Car Strike
Settlement Believed in
Sight.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-While the work
Of mediation in the street car strike
was going on today a riot, in which
several thousand men, women and
children took part, occurred on Arch
er avenue. \ mob, which gathered to
intercept a number of wagons under
escort, conveying food to the car
barns, was charged by police and con-
stables. The police drew revolvers
and finally drove the rioters back.
Cars were run on the same lines in
operation yesterday.
Chicago, Nov. 21.-The street car
strike seems near an end. The COM
pany sent communication to the
council cOnciliatiOn committee, in
which it said it would arbitrate the
question of wages, but no other ques-
tiOn. Then T.. II. Bliss, general coun-
sci for the company. and Clarence Oar
row, who acted for the strikers, went
into Il conference. After the adjourn
ment of this conference Darrow said:
I'VE have been having conferences
all day with the representatives of the
street railway company, trying to an
range the schedules so as to fix the
number of hours the men viii have to
werk. 1t looks TO me as if we would
practically agree on them. 1t appears
very favorable for the elimination of
ali the questions except the question
of wages, and if everything is elimin-
ated but that question it will mean its
submission to arbitration. My own
idea is, but, of course. it is conjecture,
that the matter will be settled very
SoOn"
