CONFUSION IN COTTON MARKET.
wild scene. on ,he 'ohange in New
 Orleans.

New Orleans, Dec. 30. The ring at the cotton exchange was surrounded by a mass of struggling brokers all day long. The opening was wild but the confusion even greater as the day ad-. vanced The bulls fought desperately but the heaviest support they could give the market could not keep prices up against the irresistible tide of liqui- dation by weak longs.
 The leading bulls bought heavily during the middle of the day but pur- chases of 5000 bales at a time did not hold the market up. Soon after noon a war rumor spread among the traders at the ring and the confusion became indescribable. The stout oaken ring about which trading in contracts is car- ried on fairly trembled as brokers hurl- ed themselves against it or were forced against it by the crowd around it ten leep. The fierce eagerness to sell at any price caused values to tumble five points at a time. Outside the exchange a curious crowd of people thronged the street and the frantic yells of the trad CTS could be heard for blocks.

 Proposition to Russia.
 Vienna, Dec. So.-The proposition of the Jews to induce foreign countries to make representations to the Russian government calling upon it to prevent the repetition of Kishineff massacres is regarded unfavorably here. pr. Theodore Herzl, founder of the Zionist movement, said to the Associated Press to-day:
 Such interferences as has been sug- gested would be a most disastrous step. The position of the Jews remaining in Russia would thereby be rendered far worse than it is at present and the anti Semitic element would seize the oppor- tunity to exile the ignorant classes with stories of the interference of for eiagn Jews in the internal affairs of the nation.'
 Dr. Herzl does not believe that any preparations are being made for fresh assaults on the Jews at Kishineff. He is confident that the present govern ment will do it's utmost to prevent any such outbreak and further that the government is ready and willing to as sist the movement for the emigration of the Jews.

Situation Now One That Gives Grave
 concsrn-Japanese Government said

 Powers at Tokio That Present con-

 washington, Dec. so-The Japanese minister called at the state depart ment to-day and reported that the sit- uation in the Far East is one that gives grave concern, and that Japan is mak- ing preparation for the worst. It is hoped, however. that Russia will recon- sider her first answer to Japan's re- quest.
 The minister also notified the state department that Japan had recognized the republic of Panama.
 MT. Takahira expressed the hope that war may yet be averted, but he regards the outlook as gloomy.
 It can be further stated that Japan. while not placing a time limit on RusA sia's reply, urged in her last note that the St. Petersburg government send a definite answer at the earliest possible limit. An indefinite answer will be re- garded as wholly unsatisfactory.
 Paris. Dec. 3O-6:55 D. m.-While still not believing that war between Russia and Japan will occur, the optimistic tone in official and diplomatic circles here was somewhat modified to-day by advices from Tokio and St. Petersburg. Japan. it appears, is hastening prepar- ations for the purpose, it is suggested, of influencing Russia's action upon the Japanese note. Russia, on the other hand. has no intention to hurry. Her reply is not expected to be made before January 10. Russia's purpose seems to be to put the onus of declaring war upon Japan, if such be the result of the negotiations.
 Berlin. Dec. so.-The Lokalanzeiger, without reserve. says.
 "The Japanese government has in- formed the representatives of the pow CTS at Tolsio that the situation at this moment is unbearable. and that Japan must strike if Russia does not accept the proposition Japan has submitted, las Japan can no longer wait for final decision"
 The Lokalanzeiger is independent in politics. but is verya careful not to of fend the government and court cir |cles.

RECTANGULAR GLASSES.

DR- RIBARD. a French oculist. has
- invented a new style Of eye
glasses, which are said to be growing
quite popular in France. Instead Of
the oval lenses now generally used he
has substituted narrow rectangular
glasses. Thus the frame supports
merely two thin strips of glass, which,
OF course. are ground to suit the eye
CT the wearer as in the oval form The
advantage claimed for the innovation
is that it renders It unnecessary to re-
move the glasses when looking at OBJ
jects far distant or at the ground. Per-
SONS who wear powerful convex or
ccncave glasses frequently experience
great trouble in looking at objects not
exactly in the focus of their glasses.
which often leads to frequent taking
off and putting on of the spectacles.
BY means Of DR.. Ribard's invention
one may look at a distant object by
simply raising the eyes and dropping
the head trifle. and may observe OBJ
Jects on the ground near the feet by
raising the head slightly For reading
or working one simply looks straight
through the glass rectangles. The new
form Of eye glasses would be certain
TO attract much attention for a time.
but If it would do away with the ne
cessity of removing the glasses, wear
ing them on the extreme end of the
nose or pushing them up on the fore
head. &c would be welcomed by all
wearers Of artificial aids to vision.

to little sympathy. He is very pOpu-

made a brief call upon one young lady
early in the evening and then took his
departure. The natural assumption was
that he would do no more calling that
evening, but he made another Gala
brief one. Some young ladies who
knew the doctor and also knew that
he had made one call already that
evening. timed his arrival at the home
Of the second young lady and permitted
FIVE minutes to elapse before they did
anything. Then one of them called up
on the telephone and asked If the doc
tor were there. Getting an affirmative
answer. she requested that he be called
to the telephone and i'm an excited
voice told him he was wanted imme-
diately at Second South and State. as a
terrible accident had occurred there.
Not doubling the accuracy of the in
formation and. placing his professional
duty above his social enjoyment. the
doctor made a hasty adieu and flew
to the scene of the supposed accident
He did not find the accident. but it is
hoped this will serve as a terrible
warning to him not to be so expansive
in his affections.
