Baxter 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, February 4.-There was It, tie doing in carly local market today. Hesitation was displayed here. at Liv- erpool and New Orleans. Prices opened a shade lower In some instances, but there was an utter absence of business. This resulted from the matter of re- ceipts, regarding which no two persons agree. One side has 1t that there is nothing remaining to be marketed and that present movement presents the tail end of the crop. Others contend that there is plenty more to come and that it will continue to come for weeks and months.
 There is no telling which view is the correct one. We have no safe guide for action except the actual movement so far and this Is quite bullish. and admit ting that the muchtallSed-of unmarketed cotton will reach as much as a quarter of a million bales. which Is a very liberal allowance.
 Receipts, 34,0G0 bales, against 20.000 last year. Nell was again estimating the size of the crop, but his statement was wholly ignored. Cables were steady at point decline Manchester quiet but steady.

SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
Booker Washington Was to Have

Memphis, Tenn, Sept, IA special
from New Roads. La, gives fur
Their particulars regarding the assassi-
nation of L. A. Planning, a negro edu-
Gator, near Oscar, La, Sunday night,
by unknown persons
Planning was principal of the Pointe
Coupee Industrial College, an institu-
ton for the education of negroes.
While on his way home Sunday night,
on the main road, near Falz river, he
was fired upon from a cotton field. The
first shot struck the horse which the
negro was riding, and the second struck
Planning in the back of the head, pene-
trating his brain and causing instant
death.
1t is claimed that Planning recently

Yising them not to work or have any
thing to do with white people, and it
is believed that these alleged utter
anees had much to do with the assassi-
nation.

Barrow-in- Furness. England. Sept. /.
The autumn conference of the iron
and steel institute opened here to-day
under the presidency of Andrew Car
negie.
Mr.. Carnegie in opening said that the
1.-The great little mother of nations"
had not been equalled by any of her
children, although her oldest and big
gest seems ito inherit his mothers in
domitable spirit and the ability to work
miracles.
Referring to a meeting of the insti-
tute held in Barrow twenty-nine years
ago, Mr.. Carnegie said:
There was at this historical meeting
a report remarkable production sub
mitred by David Forbes. foreign secre-
tary to the institute, upon the progress
of iron and steel industries in foreign
countries. Several pages are given to
the Pittsburg district, and what is
there recorded carried me back to the
days of youth apparently.
I'm 1873 the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany made 10000 tons of steel rails.
They make that amount in two weeks
now. Bethlehem Iron Works We're en-
gagged in raising a loan of the enor-
nous amount of 100000 for the extern
sion of their works; a paltry 100000.
Five millions would be comparatively
less to-day. Cambria Iron Works, in
Western Pennsylvania, near Pittsburg,
were credited with having made no
less than 1027la tons of ingots in the
week ending Sept. &c, the largest guam
tity ever made in "A weeks work now
a-days.
ut is noted that the total production
of pig iron in the United States in 1872
was S97 900 net tons. and in 1873 just
about the same; to-day il Is approach
ing 20,000000 tons per annum. The
product of steel, nearly 100000 tons,
is greater than the rest Of the world.
THE progress of Germany and Brit
ain have also been great. Britain made
643, 900 tons of steel in 1894, anil last
year 1,S26,O00 tons. Germany made
$4,000 0tons in 1874, last year 6,394OOOO.
In 1874 Britain made 6,054,0 900 tons of
pig iron; Germany 100000 tons. Last
year they made S,51S,000 and S,403,0O0
tons respectively. In 1874 the world
was producing nearly 100000 ttons of
pig iron and 2S0,000,000 ttons of coal.
Now there is being produced 100000
tons of pig iron and 7S0, 100000 tons of

CONTINUES IN NEWARK.
Engineer who Was Hurt One of
witnesses.

Newark, n. j., Sept. 1.-THE trial of
the eleven directors and executive Off
GERS of the North Jersey Street Rail
way Company, who are accused of
manslaughter in connection with the
grade crossing disaster on Feb. ~, was
resumed to-day.
Christopher Condron, the gateman NJ
the Clinton avenue crossing, testified
that on the day of the accident the troll
ley tracks were covered with dry,
1umpy snow. He noticed the cars slip
ping down the grade ana he called the
attention of a conductor to the fact
shortly before 8 o'clock.
Prosecutor Riker asked why he had
spoken to the conductor.
Because the cars threatened to go
through the gates" was the reply.
Oscar Barcliffe. the engineer of the
passenger train, who was crushed in
his cab in the collision, and was I'M
conscious in the hospital for several
weeks after the accident, was a wit
ness to-day. He is still apparently an
invalid, and when he took the stand.
shook as if afflicted with palsy.
Barcliffe testified that on the morn
ing of the accident the snow had in
terfered with the working of the brake
by getting between the brake shoes and
the wheels and stopping the friction.
He said he saw the Inflated trolley car
approach the crossing when he was
about $50 feet away. He realized from
the excited actions of the children on
the platform that the car was not go
ing to stop, and he applied the emer-
gency brake, but too late to avoid a
collision.
He said that he lost consciousness
when the crash came. and that his To-
connective stopped of itself. the brake
having been applied. He said that it
was customary for the trolley cars to
run so close to the gates before Stop-
ping that the engineers could never be
sure that a car was going to stop.
Other witnesses testified that the
motorman applied the brake, that there
was no sand or salt on the street car
track, and that the car and platform
were crowded

correspondent, saying it was not nee

BY BOSTON NEGROES,

Boston. Mass, Sept. 1.-The Suffrage
League of Boston, a negro organiza ton.
tonight adopted resolutions declaring:
"Inasmuch as Booker r. Washington
has glorified the revised constitutions
OF the South, has minimized the Jim
Crow car outrage. has attacked the
wisdom of the Fourteenth and Fiji
tenth Amendments to the constitu-
ton, has deprecated the primary i'm
portance of the ballot has preached to
the colored people silent submission to
intolerable conditions and makes his
people a byword and laughing stock
before the world, he is not a fit leader
for the colored race, and no President
who recognizes him as a political lead
er should receive the colored vote of
the North.
Therefore, since President Roosevelt
has given him charge of appointment
Of all negroes of whatever state in the
Union and has made him the negro
adviser as to all policies affecting col
ored Americans in the interests of our
race, we call upon President Roosevelt
to dispense with Mr.. Washington as
our political spokesman"
