ment at Washington made arrange
ments to send Consul Davis back to

1T developed last week that num-
Der of large cotton houses in Texas
found themselves unable to deliver
on some heavy contracts they had
made with Liverpool and consequent
ly they were compelled to default. One
big house slipped up to the extent OF
10000 bales and another to the extent
of $4,000 bales. AS the result OF these
DEVELOPMENTS there was considerable
rise in the Liverpool market, and with
the rise increased panic among bear
operators. During a good part OF last
week Brown and Hayne were practi-
cally the sole supporters Of the New
Orleans market. Bear operators threw
large lots at them and they bought
everything that was offered.
Charlotte Observer: 1t seems
strange to read of Rev. Edward Ever
EFT Hale Of Boston, being elected chap
lain Of the United States senate. He
is the most distinguished Unitarian
preacher in the United States. HIS
election was procured through the in
fiuence of Senator Hoar Of Massachu-
setts, who is, we believe, the only Uni
tartan in the senate. The Unitarians
are Of two classes. both denying the
doctrine Of the trinity. The orthodox
however, believe in the miracles Of the
New Testament and the resurrection;
the more progressive and the larger
class reject the resurrection and regard
Christ as a mere man though perfect
one, accept His code Of morals and be-
lieve that He died martyr. 1t seems
strange, we repeat, that man, how
ever able and eloquent, Of either OF
these schools Of thought, should be
elected chaplain Of the senate.
Senator Morgan last Saturday In
troduced a resolution declaring that
the president has no right to wage or
declare war against any foreign power
without the consent Of congress-; that
the provision Of the canal treaty be-
tween the United States and Panama,
guaranteeing the independence OF the
republic of Panama, is in effect a de-
claration Of war with Colombia; that
the president has no power without
the consent Of congress to prevent Co
lombia from enforcing her sovereignty
in the department of Panama; that
state Of war exists between Colombia
and Panama and that Colombia, If not
prevented, is able to repress the seces-
sion. The resolution Of the senate and
the house Of representatives in 1889 Is
repeated. The sense of this is that the
government Of the United States looks
with serious concern and disapproval
upon any connection Of any European
government with the construction and
control Of any ship canal across the
isthmus.
Pope Plus x became the richer last
Friday by s11.0OO.O0o than he was on
the day before. 1t was known that the
late Leo XIII possessed large sum OF
money but as to what ever became Of
1t was a great mystery. A most care
full search Of the palace Immediately
after his death failed to discover any
trace Of the wealth that was believed
to exist. On Friday Cardinal Gotti and
Mgr Marzolini drove up to the palace
and proceeded straight to the cham
ber of the pope carrying with them
large package. Depositing the package
at the feet Of the pope, Cardinal Gotti
explained: "a few days before his
death Pope Leo turned this money over
to me and instructed me to use 1t In
the event that I should become his
successor; but in the event some one
else should succeed him, not to deliv-
er it until he had been dead for
months" Pope Plus was very much
affected. It has been suggested that
the late pope desired to impress upon
his successor the necessity Of money
and the desirability Of economy. The
sum amounted to a little more than
$4,000, 900. On the same day some
workmen who were engaged in making
repairs in the palace found another
large sum, s1,SOO,O0o secreted in the
walls.
A successful trial Of a flying ma
chine was made last Thursday near
Kitty Hawk, N. c., by Wilbur and
Orville Wright Of Dayton. O., says a
letter from Norfolk, Va The machine
flew for three miles in the face Of a
wind blowing at the registered velocity
OF twenty-one miles an hour, and then
gracefully descended to earth at the
spot selected by the men in the nav
igator's car as suitable landing place.
