New York, October 12.-The cotton mar decline of 5 points under liquidation, following rather disappointing cables and the absence of killing frost in the belt over Sunday. But reports for the day promised to run slightly under those of last year, it being too cold with rains reported, from various sections, and short ly after the call. covering brought about an advance to within point or two of Saturdays finals. The unsettled conditions in Wall street and the threatening aspect of far eastern situation were against pur- chasers however, and the steadier tone was soon lost, prices declining point by point under a moderate selling movement, until they had reached level to Il points lower When toward the end of the session there was considerable cover ing said to originate with recent heavy sellers, the market recovered all its losses, closing steady net 2 points lower to net points higher Sales 200O bales A fac tor in the late advances was the light estimates for tomorrow's receipts at lead ing points, heavy exports, including about 150 900 bales from New York, and forecasts calling for continued rains and frosts in the cotton belt; colder weather being in- dicated for western Texas. Port receipts for the day turned out only 49, 456 bales, against 56,374 last year Some October notices were reported to be in circulation but were not in sufficient volume to prove a market influence. Private crop ad- yances continued of a bullish average.

SENATOR HOAR ON THE SOUTH.
An Extract of HIS Chicago Speech Thai
Touches Race Conditions.

A portion of Senator Hoars speech
the other day before the United League
club Of Chicago, that was overlooked
in the telegraphic report East, touches
in interesting fashion on race eondi-
tions in the south. Coming from n
Massachusetts, man, highly honored by
the country, the following words have
unusual significance:
81 know how sensitive our southern
friends are on this matter of social
equality and companionship, and /
think ! might say firmly and properly
and that perhaps / have q right to
say-that it is not wise for the people
of the north to undertake to deal rashly
or even to Judge hastily Of feeling so
deeply implanted in their bosoms.
''Time, the great reconciliator, will
reconcile them to that if in the nature
of things and in the nature of man
they ought to be reconciled to it. And
if in the nature Of things and in the
nature OF man time does not reconcile
them, it will be sign that they ought
not to be reconciled TO it; and that
some other mode OF life for them must
be devised.
"Now, my friends, having said what
l thought to say on this question, per-
haps may be INDUCED in adding that
although my life politically and per-
sonally has been life of almost con-
stant strife with the leaders of the
southern people, yet as grow older 1
have learned not only to respect and
esteem, but to love the great qualities
which belong to my fellow citizens of
the southern states. They are noble
race. We may well take pattern from
them in some Of the great virtues which
make up the strength as they make the
glories of the free states. Their love
of home; their chivalrous respect for
women; their courage; the delicate
sense of humor; their constancy, which
can obide by an opinion or purpose
or an interest for their states through
adversely and through prosperity;
through the years and through the
generations, are things by which the
people of the more mercurlial north
may take a lesson. And there is an
other thing g-covetousness, corruption,
the low temptation Of money has not
yet found any place In our southern
politics.
Now, my friends, we cannot afford
to live, we don't wish to live, and we
do not live, in q state of estrangement
from people who possess these quail.
ties. They are friends of ours; born Of
our borning; flesh of our flesh; blood
of our blood, and whatever may be the
temporary error of any southern state

The BraveSt of the Brave.

"Tell Mr.. Ewing it was a landslide;
l did my best to save the passengers
These were in substance, among the
last wofds spoken by brave John Fl.
Bibb the engineer of the wrecked train
near Lenoir City, Saturday morning.
Again, he begged those who were try
ing to render him assistance to never
mind him but to look after the injured
passengers.
There was a courage as sublime as
any that has ever been displayed upon
the fields upon which the great bat
ties Of the world have been fought. 1t
was the courage that has no trace or
tinge of selfishness; courage that
sticks and points to duty with oil the
undertaking fidelity of the needle to
the pole. AS an engineer, earning and
receiving wages was not the only con-
sideration that occupied his mind; he
was constantly burdened with respon-
sibility for the safety of the human
freight in the coaches hauled by his
engine. He did his best 'to save the
passengers"
Rhetoric nor poetry can render ade-
quate portrayal of the character of
courage with which the heart and soul
of John Fl. Bibb was endowed and
adorned. Human Imagination nor
human vision can do justice to the
worth of such hero. Only the great
heart of Deity and the All-Seeing eye
can weigh and see the worth of such
manly nobility. knowledge of his vir.
tues may have been confined to his i'm
mediate friends, associates and EN-.
ployers; but the god who takes note Of

of the manly integrity ofJohn H. Bibb
