NEW YORK COTTON, Feb: e.-rhe cotto

NEW YORK COTTON, Feb: e.-The cotton
market opened firm at all advance of 5@12
points, and after advancing point two
more became easier under selling to secure prof
it's and increasing disposition to make ventures
on the short side Of the account on the reaction
theory. The opening advance was chiefly due to
a bad scare of the shorts in view of the dis
appointing movement with estimates for the day
pointing 10000 bales, against 36,s37 last
and the market maintained pretty firm under
tone, based on this manifestation of public
confidence.
Larger estimates to-morrOw's receipts at
Houston increased the desire to secure profits
in view of the fact that the market at the best
prices of this morning had shown an advance Of
nearly 1H for the season. Early this morning
Europe was large buyer in me New York
market; southern orders also went chiefly to the
buying side of the account Later cables showed
an easier telling at Liverpool attributed to
callig for profits. Weather accounts from the
cotton belt indicated generally favorable con-
ditions for handling the crop aud led to re-
newed predictions of larger movement.

They are Farmers of Tallapoosa County Charged With Holding Negroes-J. W. Haralson Re-
 leased From Jail.

The trial of George D. Cosby, Baran- cas Cosby and William Cosby of Talla- poosa County. will begin today fin the United States District Court. They are charged with holding various negroes in peonage. The trial of the Cosbys will be the first of the series of alleged offenders of the peonage statutes.
 These defendants are of the first class of peonage offenders. denominated as proprietors of plantations by whom the negroes are said to have been held in peonaEe.
 The court will convene at 9 o'clock but the cases will not be called until l2 o'clock. It is not thought that the trial of the Cosbys will be completed today but the probabilities are that the Cosby c.lses will occupy almost the whole of this weeks court.
 It was announced yesterday that all the arrests that would be made until the re- converting of the United States grand jury have been reported by the marshals. Un- til the grand jury again convenes the peonage developments will materialize in open cS..

WANTS 10 COMPROMISE
PROPOSAL FROM FIDELITY AND
 DEPOSIT COMPANY.
County Board of Revenue Declines Proposition to Settle Claim for $6o,ooo and Case Will
 Be Appealed.

The Board of Revenue of Montgomery County yesterday refused an offer from a legal representative of the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland. against whom judgment for sum approximating $67, 900 was returned in the United States Court, to compromise the litigation for $60, 900.
 It was intimated yesterday by mem- Der of the Board that another proposi- ton for compromise would probably be made by the company which would be accepted.
 It will be remembered that at the last trial of the case of the County of Mont gomery against John J. Cochran and the Fidelity and Deposit Company, suit for s1l0,OO0 lost by the county through the failure of the Josiah Morris Bank. a Judgment was given for about $67.000. Both litigants announced that the case would be appealed to the United States Court of Appeals. The proposed compro- mise contemplates the withdrawal of the appeal
 Judge J. B. Gaston appeared before the Board of Revenue to secure transporta- tion for a crazy negro, Alonzo Wright, from Lowndes County to the Mount Yer non Asylum. Wright Is Montgomery negro
 After passing on the county bills for the week the Board adjourned until Mon day.

MANILA A HEALTHFU1 CITY.
Average Death Rate There is Now
 Lower Than in Washington.

Lower Than in Washington.
 Surgeon General O'Reilly has received an interesting report from the medical officers in the Philippines, which shows a steady decrease in the death rate of the city of Manila as a result of the op- erations of the medical officers of the army. The death rate of Manila for the first quarter of the past four years has decreased steadily from 46.s0 per thou sand of the population for the first quar- ter of 1900 to 22.17 for the first quarter of 1903
 Assistant Surgeon Munson says that the improvement in the conditions this year has been accomplished in spite Of the fact that Asiatic cholera and bubonic plague both previously had gained foot hold in the islonds, and that the existence of a largely unvaccinated population in the provinces meant a constant introduc- tion into the city of the infection of smallpox. Cases of plague, cholera and smallpox have occurred in Manila during the present year. but the precautions ta- Ken by the board of health have prevent ed an epidemic therefrom.
 ''The sanitary results obtained in the past four years through American con- trol have been accomplished, says Dr. Munson. despite the naturally insalu- brious location of Manila. and its total lack of sanitation under the former sov- 
 fering with drainage. the many foul ca nals ramifying the city. the absence of any sewerage system, and the existence of an impure and insufficient water sup pl, and many old, .unhealthful habita- tions-have created sanitary problems of the greatest difficulty.
 ''The board of health, therefore, has been unable to turn previously existing methods and conditions to sanitary ad- vantage. and has found 1t necessary not only to develop entirely new plans of i'm provement. but. at the same time, to com bat the results of conditions inherited from the Spanish administration. The mixed character of the inhabitants, with their preiudices. superstitions. and large ly primitive Sabts of life, also has been a constant obstacle in sanitary work.
 Attention is invited to the fact that the present annual mortality in Manila, 2-lI. is lower than that of many cities not commonly regarded as unhealthful' sit uated in the United States and elsewhere In the District the annual death rate per 1000 in 1900 was 22.sO. According to pr. Munson the present death rate of Manila compares not unfavorably with San Fran cisco. Boston, and New York, Glasgow Scotland: Paris, Vienna and Havana.
