The Plague in MazatIan.

Mazatlan, Mexico, February %
There was only one death today, ano
that at the observation station. There
are thirty-fve patients at the lazaret,
to, with the condition of eight grave
or doubtful. Two hundred persons
are now isolated The bull ring is
now being used as a prison, as the
jail is undergoing disinfection.
Among the new cases two occurred
among the sentries at the military
hospital and one at the residence OF
the director of maritime customs. The
person attacked by the plague was a
maid servant, who was Immediately
sent to the lazaretto. She died few
hours later.
Senor Valdes, his son, Ricardo, and
his son-in- law, Eduardo Perez Viii
laneuva, who is general manager OF
the commercial house of Hernandez
Mendia, are now in quarantine. The
Valdes house is adjoining that occu-
pied by the Governor of the State at
the end of Mariana Escobedo street.
Governor Canedo merits great praise
for his devotion to the people Of
this plague stricken place. He is ac-
tive in all preventive measures and
shows great personal courage. He re-
fuses to leave the city and go back to
the State Capital until the plague is

HUBBARD's COTTON LETTER.
What is Said of the Status of the
Cotton Market and Crop.

New York, Feb. 21.-Our market
opened with sales of March at g. -80-S1
and after selling at $50 ruled at 9.S6
at Ii a. N. Liverpool was lower but
not as demoralized as expected. This
brought support to the market from the
start, which was dover on overnight
selling orders. At no time during the
day was this support lacking, though
there was decided falling off in the
volume of transactions, as few were
inclined to make new engagements be-
fore the holidays. At the close March
vas bid up bT the bull leaders. The
strong statistical position, due to large
takings by spinners encouraged the
bulls while the increasing receipts at
the interior town points to a relatively
large movement. The temper of the
trade continues very bullish and the
expectation of higher prices almost
universal. The spot market was quiet
and unchanged. Spot cotton closed
quiet; middling upland 1905; mid
ding gulf 1926: sales 63 bales.

CONVICTED OF MANsLAyGHTER.
The Shoe Drummer, Who Killed
Wilson in Charlotte.

Charlotte, N. c., Feb. 22.-At 3
o'clock this afternoon the jury in the
case of Artur L. Bishop, the shoe
drummer charged with the murder of
Thomas I. Wilson, came into
court and rendered verdict
of manslaughter. Bishop was in
court and his wife was by
his side. The court room was filed
with people, including about 80 COM
mercial travellers who were here to
spend Sunday. Immediately after the
rendering of the verdict Bishop was
remanded to jail. He will be brought
before Judge Neal tomorrow at s
o'clock to receive sentence.
The case was given to the jury at II
O'Clock Thursday. On the first ballot
the jury stood five for murder in the
second degree, four acquittal, two for
manslaughter and one undecided. The
vote the jury finally hung on was nine
for manslaughter and three for acquit-
tai. Three broke over today and an
agreement was reached. The penalty
for manslaughter is four months in
jail as the minimum and 20 years in
the penitentiary as the maximum. An
appeal for a new trial is not probable
unless the counsel for the prisoner
considers the Judgment Of the court
excessive.
Bishop, who travelled for New Eng
land shoe factory, killed Thomas I.
Wilson in this city on December 9Th,
last. He had gone to Wilson's home
IN company with Miss Lena Schultz
and Miss Ada Wilson, daughter Of the
deceased. Wilson discovered the three
in his parlor drinking wine and order
ed Miss Schultz and Bishop to leave.
Bishop wanted to parley and Wilson
endeavored to eject him, when he was
shot and killed by Bishop. The latter
fed and made his way to his home in
Petersburg, where he surrendered.

The Government Provides Special
Cartridges for Use i1 Riots.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The war de-
partment las sent notice to the Gov
ernors of each State of the Union that
it is prepared to supply them upon de-
mind and according to their legal al
lowances with riot cartridges. -
This is new form Of ammunition
prepared by the experts of the orii-
nance bureau, to enable officers of the
law and soldiers to repel rioters with
the least possible loss of life to the
s'innocent spectator -
The she'll is like that Of the regular
she'll used in the army rife, with the
important exception that instead Of
the long nickel plated and steel-clad
bullet two balls are placed in the
mouth. The design was apparently to
provide something of a greater range
than buckshot, yet not dangerous to
persons at distance. The cartridge
is charged with about thirty -four
grains Of smokeless powder. The balls
are made of a mixture OF lead and
tin in the proportion Of Is to l and
are lightly coated with parafne.
The diameter of the ball is 50 inch
and the weight is - grains. The SCR
vice primer for snokeless powder IS
used. The cartridges have sufficient.
accuracy for effective use at 200 yards.

The STATEHOOD BILL.
Republicans Propose Compromise
to Democrats.

Washington, February 23.-All day
there has been talk of compromise on
the Statehood bill. It was generally
understood that what was known as
the Spooner compromise, being the two
State bill drawn by the Wisconsin
Senator, would be satisfactory to the
Republicans. The terms Of this COM
promise have heretofore been given,
save that the provision for the State
of Montezuna provides that before Ari-
izona can be set off as a separate State
the population Of Montezuna must be
700, 600 of which 300, coo should be in
Arizona. The Democrats, while talk
ing in a conciliatory spirit, said that
they had little hope that the sRepubli-
can proposition would be acceptable
to them. It is quite likely that when
this proposition is submitted the
Democrats will have a conference.
Probably counter proposition then
will be made, providing that when
Arizona mas population which is the
average for "a Representative in Con-
gress it shall be admitted as State;
also that a census shall be taken every
year. The Democrats say they want
provision fixing a date which viii
bring Arizona into the Union. This
would not be satisfactory to the Repub-
licans. While the efforts towards q
compromise continue there are only a
few Senators who expect. an adjust
ment to be reached, and the prospects
of Statehood legislation are still
remote.
There was an earnest conference in
the Senate chamber after adjourn
ment, participate in by Senators AL
drich, Quay, Hanna, Foraker, Ne
Comas, Beveridge and Kean, when It
was definitely decided that the pro-
position for compromise on two States
should be submitted to the Democrats.
Senator Quay presented a memoran-
dun of the important features of the
compromise to Senator Bate, who will
present it to a conference Of Demo.
Gratis called for 10 O'Clock tomorrow
morning.
It is expected that the Republican
proposition will be rejected and q.
counter proposition made. Demo
cratic leaders say that they cannot &C
cept the compromise suggested and the
Republicans say that no further con-
| cessions will be made.

The opinion in the Champion case was
delivered by Justice Harlan and sustain
ed the validity of the law. In the
Francis case, Justice Holmes spoke for
the court, holding tha5 the oGense al
alleged did not come within the scope

been on the docket Of the supreme

SENSATIONAL KILLING IN RALEIGH.
Ludlow Skinner Shot Down by
Ernest Haywood Tragedy in
Crowded Street.

Charlotte, N. c., Feb. PA special
to the Observer from Raleigh says: The
greatest social and criminal sensation
Raleigh has ever known developed at
4.2O O'Clock this afternoon when, on
Fayetteville street, Ernest Haywood
shot and killed Ludlow Skinner. The
prominence Of both families is marked.
Haywood is a grandson of the late
State Treasurer John Haywood and a
son of the late DR.. E. Burke Haywood
and one of Raleigh's leading lawyers.
Skinner was grandson of the late Mr..
Ludlow of New York, and a son of
Rev. DR.. Thomas E. Skinner, of
Raleigh, one of the best known Bap-
fists in the south.
At least a hundred persons must
have seen the shooting, certainly that
number saw the victim of Haywood IS
revolver as he reeled AID fell upon his
face on the car track in front OF the
postoffice and Marlborough house and
not 40 yards from the court house.
Haywood was taken by Deputy
Sheriff Separk to Haywood's law Office
and was there for about two hours,
SuarQeu Dy deputies ana IN conference
with his attorneys, James H. Pou and
Argo & Shafer. Later he was taken
to the court house where Magistrate
Maroon had a preliminary hearing
taking only Separk's testimony, upon
which he committed Haywood to jai.
without bail for murder.
SINNERS wife is a daughter Of the
late Major John G. Winder.
The rumor here is that the tragedy
grew out of reported secret marriage
in the family Of the one Of the mer
concerned.
