RPUBIIC SPECIAL
New York, Dec. 23.--There was wild
and cratic cotton market to-day, the
equal of which has never been witnessed
in recent cotton speculation. There were
four distinct and violent movements dur
ing the day. but. at the conclusion. prices
were only slightly higher.
Twice the market developed a runaway
tendency, and twice it was held in check
by the bull leaders. Then followed sharp
break in prices, which had all the indica-
lions of wide open break.
These repeated leaps to higher levels,
followed by sharp collapses gave the mar
ket SO fever!sh an appearance that
brokers were advising customers to close
their market commitments for safety's
sake.
Calls for margins were made from all
quarters. and on the exchange the excite
ment was at white heat.
In New Orleans cotton for several
months of the coming year sold higher
than II cents pound. In this market
July cotton sold at 1881 cents, while May
sold at 1880 cents. These are record
prices
All sorts of wild predictions were made
as to the future prices to which the bull
leader would put the market Many old
timers in the cotton market decided to
leave speculation alone for the present as
they saw that there was a great public
following IN the market. 50 that, from q
technical point Of view, the market had
all the appearance Of being congested 1t
is in the shape that panics in either
direction. it was pointed out, are liable
to develop.
The reason for the advance to-day was
the falling OF in receipts from the interior
points in the cotton belt.

FASTEST OF CENTURY
Prince Alert Wrests World S
Pacing Record From
Dan Patch.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Sept 23.-Prince Alert. the
pacing hero of hundred races and the
champion of a score of half mile tracks,
went against the worlds pacing record of
1859, held by Dan Patch, and beat it most
decisively at the Empire City track today.
The weather and track were perfect and
the wind, which was high early in the
day, kindly subsided so that all the con-
ditions were favorable. Mart Demarest,
the trainer and driver of the Prince, on
account of overweight, decided to get
John Curry to drive and Demarest drove
the thoroughbred speedmaker in front
with the wind shield sulky. At the third
time the starter gave the word and,
pacing like perfect piece of machinery,
Prince Alert shot away to the quarter
pole in 291a, as he got into the back
stretch he increased his speed and was
at the half in :5S. Then the crowd
realized that they were witnessing the
fastest mile of the century and cheers
and shouts of come on came from the
grand stand and lawn. without break
or tremor he flashed by the three
quarter pole in 1854 and without any
urging came on with most superb burst
of speed, crossing the wire in 1:57

THE POPULACE EXCITED
Reported.
(By the Associated Press.)

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept1 pa less hope
full feeling prevails today in government
circles regarding the general situation,
although no actual change is reported.
The events of the next two days are
awaited with great anxiety and popular
feeling is becoming excited
A largely attended meeting of Mace
donian sympathizers, held at Rustchuk,
Bulgaria, has adopted resolutions appeal
ing to the Bulgarian government to de-
clare war on Turkey Immediately.
In revolutionary circles, war Is believed
to be imminent unless Turkey stops mas
sacreing the Christians, of which there
are no signs at present. DR.. Christie
Tatartcheff, president of the Macedonian
organizations, has informed the Associa-
ted Press correspondent that the insurgent
committees attach no Importance to the
reported negotiations between Turkey
and Bulgaria because similar propositions
were discussed in 1897 and later in 1899
and 1900. The Porte, added Dr. Tatart-
cheff only entered into the conference
in order to gain time to finish the ex-
termination of what it regards as the
dangerous elements in Macedonia, and
have the troops now at Monastir free to
move against Bulgaria and bring more
soldiers from Asia. While the Sultans
favorite is discussing preparations for re-
form in Macedonia the troops continue
to massacre the Christians and devastate
the country.
Special significance attaches to the Mace
DOMAIN meeting at Rustcliuk because the
resolutions adopted are the first open
expression of such an emphatic charac-
ter in favor of war coming from any
popular meeting in Bulgaria. Rustchuk
is the chief commercial town in the coun-
try. Resolutions were also passed thank
ing the Pope, the English bishops, the
trades union congress and the British
and American press for their expressions
of sympathy with the Macedonian cause
Fighting is reported to have taken place
near Kotchani, on the frontier, in which
the Turks lost fifty men killed and the
insurgents suffered loss of ten.

The TUNNEL STILL FLAMES.
And the Norfolk and Western May be Forced
to Build Around the Mountain.
(By the Associated Press.)

Bristol, Tenn, Sept 23.--F'rom an au-
thoritative source it is learned that the
Norfolk and Western Railroad is contem
playing laying track around the noun
tain through which the Craigen tunnel
extends, and which is now burning. The
discovery was made this week that two
veins of coal, which were struck when the
tunnel was being made, have caught fire
and time alone may determine the result
of the blaze Every effort OF the railroad
to extinguish the blaze has been in vain.
Over nine hundred men are now employed
at the tunnel, which is about 1000 feet
long. Both of its ends have been stopped
UP securely and an air shaft run into the
top of the mountain in an effort to smoth-
er the blaze. Water is being pumped
into the cavity and it was thought that
in this manper the blaze would finally be
reached and quenched. All OF these eff
forts have seemingly proven IN vain and
the fire still RACES, each day apparently
adding to its volume.
To lay the track around the mountain
it is said will involve an expenditure OF
half million dollars.

| AM THE KING, MY
LORDS OF BRITAIN
Edward Rises at Last, a Fig.
ure of Regal Power.
HE ASSERTS HIS RIGHTS
And viii Not Assent 10 The Formation Of NeW
Cabinet Until Assured That il is
Able to Meet All De-
mands.
fBy the Associated Press

London, Sept 23--The political crisis
has taken on a phase which lends TO the
present situation a historical and consti-
tutional Importance of almost unprece-
dented interest. The King has interfered
not unconstitutionally or beyond the
powers vested in the crown. but in the
exercise of his prerogatives to an extent
never dreamed of in the Victorian era.
Premier Balfour's continued presence
at Balmoral has given rise to much sur
mise and comment, but the Associated
Press is able to state definitely that 1t
is due to the Kings determination not
to assent to the formation of new
Cabinet until thoroughly satisfied that its
personnel and combination are such as
to insure the efficient carrying on OF the
affairs of the empire pending the resump-
ton of Parliament. For years previous,
Cabinets were formed or ministerial va
cancies filled with the mere formal pre-
sentatlop to the sovereign of the names
OF the new ministers. King Edward has
done away with this tradition. He has
spent the last few days in constant dis
cussion with Mr.. Balfour as to the ad-
visibility from the point of view OF the
national welfare of the latter's suggested
appointments. Ministers now holding
office and those nominated for office have
been summoned to Balmoral to JOIN IN
these conferences.
To such an extent is King Edward hold
in his power of veto. in reserve that now
he is almost regarded by the inner cir
Cles as more the cabinet-maker than Mr..
Balfour himself. Though with his usual
tact, the King has refrained from ex
pressing any political views or infringing
the initiative belonging to the ministers,
this has not prevented him from express
ing his genuine desire amounting almost
to command, that steps be taken to
remedy the scandals in the army admin
istration revealed by the report OF the
South African War Commission and in
sistng that the new cabinet shall be one
adapted to deal with that question.
King Edwar has not shared the keen
public Indignation against Lord Lans-
dcwne aroused by the report of the
South African War Commission and af-
ter minute examination of the circum
stances he is understood to have con-
sented to his lordship continuing as tor-
eign minister. The decision has not pre-
vented His Majesty from frankly tell
ing the ministers that he wanted some
thing done to improve the military mud
die and that he hoped some man would
be appointed who, with the commissions
report as a basis, would be capable of
changing the system which rendered in
efficiency unavoidable.
The question of having some general,
notably Lord Kitchener, as head of the
War Office has been keenly discussed at
Balmoral between the King and the min
listers. but the Associated Press under
stands that the concensus of opinion was
that such an appointment would be in
terpreted as modified form of military
dictatorship which the public would never
sanction.
