Rock Island hung back. There was trading in the outside market in the new Rock Island per cent. collateral bonds when issued and the establish ment of quotations at 92 1-2 to 92 afford ed basis for estimating the exchange value of St Louis and San Francisco under the plan at S2. The price ad- vanced from last nights closing at IS 1-2- to 80 3-4. but suffered in the gen. eral recation. A belies that the sus- pended Hooking Valley deal would be next taken up was reflected in the jump oE 1-4 in that stock. Delaware and Hudson's ? 2-4 points advance was at- tributed to the election of E. H. Harri- man tothe directory. Published report of the Wabash plan for Baltimore outlet direct from Pittsburg were responsible for the strength in these seocks and the Wheeling and Lake Fries. The Gould group generally was affected in sympa- thy. The strength of Colorado Fuel was connected with reports of Rockefeller Gould control. Covering Of shorts by professional bears clearly played large part in the markets recovery. The opin- ion which greeted the monthly crop re- port added to this disposition, as the de- terioration in the winter wheat crop was no greater than expected with a good promise remaining of a bumper crop. The speculation remained much repress- ed, however. The unbridled specula- tion in the cotton market is the cause of some apprehension by reason of the de- mand upon the money market caused thereby and the years of a curtailment of consumption. The result upon the ex- change market from the curtailed cot ton movement, in view of the inaugura- tion of gold exports is also dreaded. For eign exchange ruled firm to-day and a further outward movement of gold is looked for. The reduction in the grain rate from Chicago to New York was a depressing influence on the trunk lines all day and this depression became more acute in the late selling movement. The principal aggravating cause of the late break in the market, however, was a report from Pittsburg of 8 cut in the price of steel billets by the principal competitor of the United States Steel corporation. This report carried United States pfd. suddenly downwards to a point under last night, the whole mark ct weakening in sympathy
 There was considerable variety in the bond market. but the price movement was irregular. Total sales par value, S3.135. 900.
 United States 2s declined 1-4 per cent. on the last call.

BRITAIN ADDS TO EMPIRE
TAKES 100, 900 SQUARE MILES IN
 NORTHERN NIGERIA.
Emir of ESano Defeated and dOverthrown After a Desperate Fi=ht-6,O0O Horse and Foot We'll Armed Terribly DeeI. mated-BIany Rush to Death shouting "AIIah.D

London, May 12.-Colonel Secretary Chamberlain announced in the House of Commons to-day that as a result of the British military operations in the Sokoto and Kano districts, ending with the capture of the Emir of I<ano, 100000 square miles of territory had been added to northern Nigeria and would be administered by the govern ment of that territory.
 Interesting details have been receiv- ed here of the capture of Sokoto March IA, by the British column com manded by Colonel Morland The en- gagement lasted two and one-half hours. The British numbered about 300 men, with four quick firing guns and four Maxims. The enemy's horse and foot were estimated to number some six thousand men, their rifiemen being armed with modern rifles and using smokeless powder. The British camped during the night of March 1S a mile and a half from Sokoto, after hard march of one hundred miles from Kaura with but little water and having passed through difficult coun- try. At daybreak March fl the Brit ish moved out in square formation to- wards the valley in which Sokoto lies. Immediately after the British appeared over a. ridge the Fulanis charged with fanatical bravery, undeterred by a whitening Maxim and rifle fire. They had no proper leadership, but the iso- lated bands continued to advance over heaps of dead and dying, often some individuals reaching within a yard of the square, where, refusing quarter they were shot down while shouting "Allah,' with their last breath. The main body of the natives was finally routed, leaving & remnant of about thirty chiefs around the Enlir's great white flag. These chiefs were defiant to the last and their corpses were found heading the standard when the British entered the city, which con- sisted mostly of thatched houses. Its semi-ruined walls extended seven miles round the place and were pierced by eight gates.
 A few days later the populace re- turned and the Fulanis rendered their submission to Commissioner Lugard, who arrived March 19 and installed a new Enir. The British then retired towards the coast, leaving a garrison of two companies of infantry.

NO ELECTION BY PEOPLE.

The General Judiciary Com.
mittee of the House was reported
adversely on the bill by Mr.. Ran
kin of Gordon, providing for the
election of railroad commissioners
by the people.
We are glad to see a tendency
to check the drift toward the
populistic idea Of referring every
matter and the selection of every
officer tothe popular vote. Many
recent changes on that line would
have never been accomplished
but for thefac that the men who
advocated, voted for and support
ed the laws did so with the sell
fish purpose Of making them
selves popular with the masses
in order to secure public office.

Huntington, w. Va. July TO-
Rev. James Watson, a negro
preacher has been skinned alive
by an Infatuated mob in Mingo

prepetrated on a little girl.
Reports that reach here indi-
cate that no more horrible pun

than was meted out to the negro.
He was. caught by the mob,
naked aud then bound to
a tree. Members of the mob
then drew their knives and liter
ally sliced off the skin of the
negro They were careful to
avoid inflicting mortal injury,
for they wanted the negro to
suffer as much as possible.

A Little Child Lost;
Alice Davis Leaves Home.

Yesterday morning about S
O'Clock Alice, the daughter OF
Mr.. ]. W. Davis, who lives on
Magnolia Street, opposite the
Magnolia Hotel, suddenly and
mysterious1y disappeared.
Her father was up and assist
ing her to prepare breakfast. as
Mrs. Davis was sick, and the
child was missed by her parents
within few moments after her
disappearance.
She is only 10 years old. and
not considered large for her age;
has blue eyes and short, curlv,
light hair.
AT first it was thought that
the child had became offended
at a light chastisement a few
days before, and that probably
she had made her way to her Sis
ter, Mrs. Carry Perry, of Ocilla.
The father went to Ocilla on the
trst train, but could learn moth
ing of the child's whereabouts.
There are several theories, the
most plausible of which is that
she undertook to go to her
sisters and that she had not
reached there when her father
had arrived or that she had TAX
en- the wrong road and gone to-
ward Triton instead of Ocilla.
Another is that she has been
kidnapped and a third is thatshe
decided to quit home and find a
place in the Orphans Home at
Macon as she had stated to one
OF her girl friends only a few
days ago that she expected to 20
to the Orphans Home in Macon,
where she once lived.
AT first the child's disappear
ance did excite much alarm asher
father felt sure he would find her
at her sisters, but now it seems
it will be difficult to locate her,
and indeed, some misfortune
might have overtaken the child.
Any information will be great
ly appreciated and a suitable re-
ward paid for her return.

A PROTEST.:
FITZGERALD, July 10, 90.

There is no reas enable excuse
for allowing cattle and swine to
run at large on the streets of our
town. We realize that grazing
is plentiful on the streets, but
some one should be put in charge
of the COWS or they should be
tied in some grassy spot.
We are informed that there~is
an ordinance prohibiting stock,
cattle and hogs running at large
on the streets, but it is very
evident that this ordinance is
entirely Disregard by officials
and citizens alike.
Recent occurrences have con-
,firmed me in the belief that the
nuisance referred to should be
stopped.A A. few days ago a
neigbor's chad was attacked by
vicious cows and had not help
been near the child would prob
ably have been gored to deaah.
Since that time my child had a
narrow escape fron1~inMiry while
on the sidewalk in front of the
door. I wish to wat7Hall persons
that I am not willing totakethese
risks repeatedly. andsin such
dangerous attacks expectsto pro
tect my family by shootipgSthe
cow.
Hogs are considered good
scavengers, but,ahy one passing
the corner of Grant and Pine
streets where there has not been
sufficient drainage, will detect a
strong oder of swine at times.
Similar doors can be detected
elsewhere in town. These smells
may not be unhealthy but they
are known to be quite offensive
to number of citizens. Il will
not take up the Subject of fleas,
have grown accustomed to them. }
This communication is not in
tended to be personal. neither
am | an-enemy of COWS and hogs,
Both feed in droves on the oil
mill lot and are never mo1ested.
But / wish to enter protest a.
gainst allowing cows and hogs
ON the streets in charge of nc
one and not tethered.
