POSSESSIONS EXTENDED.
Discovery Of Uncharted Islands l.
Philippine Archipelago,

Official advices received at the Navy De-
partment from the Philippines record the
discovery Of a number Of valuable islands
in the southern part of the archipelago,
which are not on any Of the charts In the
possession Of the government. SO far as
known no foreign government as yet has
laid claim to this territory, and to preclude
the presentation Of such claim Secretary
Moody has taken steps to have the islands
properly charted as the property Of the
United States. after first having every eff
fort made to learn II any other government
had ground for claim to the new islands. A
naval vessel probably will be ordered to the
southern part of the archipelago to prepare
the necessary charts.

PACKERS IN DEFAULT.
Formal Order Issued by Judge Gross
cup in Chicago.

A dispatch from Chicago yesterday says:
A formal order OF default was entered
by Judge Grosscup today against the
packers who have failed to answer
the governments antitrust bill. The
final order of injunction was not en-
tered against the defendants, owing to the
absence of District Attorney Bethea from
the city. 1t is expected that the packers
will appeal when the final order is entered.

State and Local Laws.

1t has been pointed out that the Mann
liquor law, which has recently become OPP
erative in Virginia, has an important bear
ing on the ordinance passed by the city
council a few weeks ago having provisions
in accordance with the state law providing
penalties for selling intoxicating liquors on
Sunday. The object of the corporation Or
dinance. as stated. was twofold. In the
first place, 1T was intended to frame
measure that would enable the city to col
lect the fines imposed for Sunday liquor
selling, most of which money had been
going into the state treasury. and, in the
second place, to obviate divided RESPONSE
bility connected with the concurrent juris-
diction of the corporation and police courts
and placing the matter in the jurisdiction
of the latter court. These objects were
effected under the former law, but the
statute now operative. 1t is stated, being
a revenue law, renews the concurrent juris-
diction of the corporation court.

Strike of City Laborers.

Most of the city street laborers. who
struck for higher wages and shorter hours
yesterday, went back to work this morn
ing. The strike of the force, comprising
about twenty men, stopped the sewer con-
struction yesterday, but it was resumed
this morning. The action of the men
caused some surprise, it was expected
that committee would report at the meet
ing of the city council next Tuesday night
on a petition from the laborers for wages
of $3.50 per day and a day of nine hours.
At the last meeting of council it was re-
ferred to the proper committee, and could
not have been acted upon in the meantime,
but the men decided not to wait any longer

ALEXANDRIA, Va, April 3d. 1903
The police of this city are looking for a
stranger who, it is alleged, shot and slightly
wounded James Eutzey, machinist s
helper in the employ of the Southern rail-
road, near the corner Of Wilkes and Patrick
streets, about o'clock last night. The
shooting was done with a pistol. and the
ball passed through the fleshy part of Eut-
zeys left arm. A short time thereafter the
matter was reported to officer Young. who
went to HOS Duke street, the house of the
wounded man. He was found to have suf-
fered but a slight loss of blood, and was
not inclined to talk freely about the trou-
ble but finally stated that he had had
quarrel with strange man about woman.
This developed. he said, into fist fight,
and his antagonist, when wOrsted, suddenly
drew a pistol and fired, the ball passing
through the left arm. Eutzey could give no
clue as to the mans name, but described
him as being about thirty-fiye years or age,
of medium height and weighing about $50
pounds He ran off Immediately after the
shooting

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Oct. 9.-The cotton mar
ket opened weak at a decline of 1@4
points under liquidation and bear
pressure, encouraged by the failure of
the predicted frosts to materialize,
lower cables and reports that October
notices had been issued to the amount
of some 10000 bales. This led to con-
siderable selling of October and in the
first few minutes that position had
sold down to a round 903c, while De-
cember and January touched 9.13c and
the active months generally showed
net losses of SOIL points. Then ii de-
veloped that the notices were either
being stopped or taken in by the party
issuing them, and the list rallied to
little over last nights finals in some
instances the advance being promoted
by weather forecast calling for frosts
in the northern portions of the east
ern and central belts. II was also
considered that temperatures gener-
ally over the belt were too low for the
best development of cotton, but with
the receipts still running heavy and
the Southern spot markets once more
reporting a declining tendency the ad-
Vances were not held, and the market
closed steady, net / to points lower.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
The demoralized condition of Wall
street matters is. of course, a factor
in encouraging bearish sentiments, and
the threatening aspect of the Far
Eastern situation is attracting some at
tention as a possible bearish factor
as to future requirements. On the
other hand, the crop news continues
bullish. and with the danger of frost
hanging over the market many opera
tors preferred covering their short COM
mitments over Sunday

Baxter and Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York Oct. 9.-The market was
weak this morning. This was mainly
due to the failure of frost to material
ize in the Southwest in accordance
with Yesterdays government forecast.
Gables were also below the mark look
ed for. There was nothing special in
the movement and in the crop news.
Receipts were simply running as here
tofore quite free, but still far below
what the trade had been supposlng
would be the case at this advanced
date for the season The same cry is
now heard as is always the case when
receipts are disappointing and that is
that next month will make up the diff
ference The probabilities are that
when next month is reached the bears
will claim that December will furnish
the cotton which November failed to
market By this time, or before, ii is
supposed that spinners will recognize
the shortness of the crop and enter the
market as good buyers. Wall street
weakness had a depressing effect on
cotton to-day as had the fact that in
terror receipts for the week at many
points were heavy. Nevertheless, sell
ers were not urgent and prices failed
to soften much, and before noon had
rallied to near yesterdays closing.
Gables were easy at to s decline. Port
receipts, $4,000 against $4,000 last year.
