The Imperial Commissioner to the Fair.
Prince Pulun. sent TO the Chinese Minister,
some time ago a message to be transmit

nouncing the departure from China of
Wong Kai KAN and his suite. ana COM
mending them to the courtesy of the Unit
ed States officials
The travelling party duly arrived at Frs
CO and were about to be subjected to ex-
animation under the prevailing laws regard
ing Chinese immigrants. when Wong inter-
posed objections.
The immigration officials inquired Of the
department here what measures to pursue,
end received In reply the news that an
arrangement had been made between the
State Department and the Chinese Minister
and that the party was entitled 10 admis-
sion without further parley or detention.
The basis of this understanding. as it now
transpires, was that Vice Commissioner
Worg presented, through Charge G'Afaires
Shen Tung. the claim that he was coming in
a quasi-diplomatic capacity. and that the
Chinese with him were. in effect. his secre-
taries and attaches. on special diplomatic
mission to Ibis country.
To this argument the State Department
agreed. with the full understanding that
the faith of the Chinese Government and
its representatives here were pledged to
keep track of the persons SO admitted and
to furnish ipdisputabie evidence OF their re-
turn to China upon the conclusion Of the
Exposition in the fall of 1904.

There Is no doubt that she was muir
dcred. and IL Is believed the crime was com
mitted Tuesday night, which was the last

Mrs. Gilmore had been separated from her
husband for four years. and lived alone in
the hut where her body was found The
house consists OF one small room in the

slept, and n little shed kitchen in the rear
in which she kept chickens.

worked for and 1t ia certain the deed was
not prompted by robbery. She was harm
less and inofrensive.

cry. having missed Mrs. Gilmore. The body
was lying on three pillows. The pillow I'M
der her head was soaked with blood. The

RETUBLIc SPECIAL.
New York. July 9.-Cotton markets IN this
city and New orleans wcre whipped into
frenzy OF excitement to-day by n demon
etration Of strength on tho part OF tho
Brown pool IN those months which are cor
nered by that party OF spectators
An actual bear panic occurred as result
In tho July and August months. the sup
plies for which are held absolutely by the
New Orleans pool
Prices kept soaring all day. and at the
close IL WAS found that July had gained 10
points. or more than cent a pound, while
there was an advance IN the price Of tho
August option amounting 10 81 points.
These are gains OF $50 n bale and Sass
bale.
At the close of the day the price OF July
and August cotton had been forced back
20 a basis OF l2i. cents pound.
In tho contest which was waGed on the
floor OF the exchange on Wednesday last
for supremacy in the cotton market, IL WAS
noticeable that the New Orleans party be-
came very aggressive. demonstrating that
they had not been hurt 10 any great extent
by the tremendous decline in the price OF
all options.
In the two DAYS decline Of the early part
Of the week prices had slumpci from lSc
"a pound for July and August cotton 10 lie
a pound a loss OF nearly 40 points. II was
then thought that the collapse in the cor
yer had been forced. but the developments
to-day have entirely disproVed this theory.
MORE SHORTS THAN EVER.
II appears that they still have the cotton.
and there is now more extended short
interest in the situation than there was be-
fore.
The strength OF the position of the New
Orleans contingent was forcibly Illustrated
to-Iiay when they completely NanQuishei the
bears and advanced prices OF the two
months they control fully 100 points. or lc
pound Thi. advance holds the record in
the history OF the exchange. as did the
declines Of the two days in the first part OF
the week
The fact that the manufacturers OF cot
ton showed a disposition to enter the mar
set NJ the low levels around II and III.
ccnts pound for cotton for immediate de-
livery also illustrated tho statistical strength
Of the situation. so that when the mark ct
opened to-day there was a wild scramble
to buy in short contracts. The bulls had
gained both courage and strength over
night, however, and ran prices M with
great gusto Immediately upon the opening.
After this display OF strength the bears,
who had valiantly fought the advances of
Wednesday, gave up the struggle and were
completely routed. There was no limit 10
he advances in the market after the bear
pool composed OF Stock Exchange houses
mad withdrawn their aggressive tactics.
