The White House Becoming Zoo.

Washington, Dec. S.-The contribution
to the executive menagerie yesterday was
a snake. This visitor was not more well
come to the uniformed attendants of the
White House than the wildcat that pre-
ceded it. The reptile had travelled from
the swamps of Florida, and was OF Vari'
ely known as the "glass" snake. The
SNAKE is aliye, but there is always i'm.
pending over it tie possibility of breaking
into fragments on account Of the brittle
ness of its tissue. A sudden jar or sharp
blow will snap it into pieces.
The snake was, by the Presidents direc-
ton, sent TO the Zoo but when it was lifted
out of the box there remained several
good sized pieces cf its anatomy.

Have Cotton on Hand and Will Not Un'
dertake to Curtail.

Charleston, S. c., Dec. S.-A special to
the News and Courier from GreensVllle'
S. c., says:
According to reliable information gath
cred here from mill sources none OF the
cotton manufacturing establishments ID
tho Piedmont section will be forced to
.,rta;l nroduction on account of the high
-r:.e of the raw product. So far as can
be ascertained the local mills will not be
repreeented at the meeting in Charlotte
tomorrow, the object of which is to de-
crease the amount of the manufactured
goods. Invitations came here, but az
nearly all of the mills have cotton, they
will continue TO run as heretofore.
One of the mill presidents said today
that there was no reason to apprehend
danger in this section. Practically all OF
the mills have cotton, he said, and GER
taiuly they have enough to run for sew
eral months at least. We are not inclin'
ed to take part in the Charlotte confer
ence, because we are not short on the
staple.
There is much cotton in the local ware
houses where it has been stored by farm
I ers for future delivery. Some of the farm
ers here are holding on for fifteen cents.
Fall River, Mass, Dec. S.-A curtall-
ment of production has been ordered at
he Chase Cotton mills. The mills will
close on Wednesday night for the week,
resuming on the following Monday, when
they will operate on three days week
basis for an indefinite period. The mills
employ several hundred hands.

 More than the usual interest has been shown during the past week n the copper on the market, The repre- Sentatiyes of some of the large pro ducers here in Boston insist in the most emphatic manner possible that they are offering no copper at less than l33 cents while it is known that the Calumet and Hecla people have none to sell at less than ll cents. Calumet and Hecla officials, by the way, are still extremely confident regarding the copper market outlook and assert that while the demand for the time being has shown slight let up, many of the large consumers are practically bare of supplies and must soon come into the market once moro |, when the price is sure to advance very sharply. Indeed there are those in Calumet and Hecla circles who have recently predicted that the price of Lake ingot would cross l5 cents withs in the next thirty days Altogether, the copper producers here do not feel at all disturbed regarding the metal situation as it is at present
 Next to the Montana copper warfare, which, as is well known, has absorbed attention in copper circles for some time past to the exclusion of almost everything else, has been the Old Dominion merger plan which is now in process of conSummation. The opposition that has developed to this proposi tiOn by Broker Fitzgerald has really, thus fa:, accomplished very little in the way of retarding the deposit of stock under the plan as proposed Mir. Fitzgerald's conten- tiOn has been that the management has failed to give stockholders the fullest possible information and he is insist tent that certain expert reports on the property, recently made, should be made public. In response to this, President Smith has announced that the reports in question were the re- suits of hurried inspection of the Phelps Dodge property with which the old Dominion is to be merged, and that they were, therefore, of super tcial character. He has, however, permitted all stockholders, so desiring, to go over the same; and in every case, after doing so, the stockholders have immediately deposited their shares. Up to date, the amount of deposits exceed 10000 shares or more than two thirds Of the entire capital the amount required to ratify the merger. The time for making de- poSitS expires next Monday and the management hopes, in the meantime and shortly thereafter, to have practi. caiIy the entire amount of outstanding stock deposited. Talk of possible in- functions is said to be without the least basis in fact, although Mr. Fitz- gerald has, in the recent past, int. mated that mething of the sort might develop if the opposition was not regarded The buying of the company $ stock of late has been Of most excellent character and some Of the best people on the street believe that, with the merger plan finally and the company there by well financed, the proposition will, from then on, become a profitable producer.
 Boston people are showing more interest than ever in MT. Dee'S Higgins property at BlSbee, and considerable amount of the stock has been traded in within the last two or three weeks.

One of the features of the present copper market position, says the Bos- ton Journal, is an actual scarcity of electroytic copper, which is extreme ly difficult to get for spot or Noyem- Der delivery. In fact, any effort to buy spot or November electroiytic would cause an advance on account of scarcity.

D0WIE MAKES REVELATION.
Tells His Audience in New York He
Does Not Know Who His
Father Was,

New York, Oct 27.--In his morning
address Monday John Alexander
Dowie said that he had no right to the
name of Dowie, and that he did not
know who his father was. The state
ment was induced by certain letters
published by morning newspaper
purporting to show that Dowie had
cast off his own father.
Years ago, Dowie said, he had the
painful revelation made to him that
John Murray Dowie, to whom the let
tiers were written, was not his father.
He said the elder Dowie handed him
certain documents on which he would
speak tonight He also declared
that he was glad the matter was out,
as the letters had been in the hands of
certain persons for years.
In his address Dowie again de-
nounced the newspapers and demanded
the establishment of a censorship to
protect clergymen, politicians, judges
and business men from attack. This
is the last week of the hosts restora-
ton work in this city.
