BUSINESS INACTIVE.
London Stock Exchange Feels Ap-
 proach of the Holidays.

London, December 20.-Business on the stock exchange last week was compara- lively inactive, owing to the approach of the Christmas holidays, and an anxiety felt concerning affairs in the far east The opinion on the market is that war between Russia and Japan will be avoid ed, and therefore, sales were not heavy. In fact there was an almost total ab- sence of buying. All markets felt the in- fuence of the depression. Curiously enough. the rumors regarding the situa- ton in the east had little effect on the Chinese securities, and they remained steady.
 The feature of the weak in the Ameri- can market, was the strong support ac- corded to railway securities, as distin- guished from industrials. and it looks as though when the political clouds clear, there might be considerable investment in railroads. The Kaffir market was again sluggish, owing to the delay in settling the labor difficulty in South Afri- ca.

 ALL THE DEMANDS
Turkish Governor Will Apolo-
 gize for Insult to Consul

 United States Minister Lieshman ar rived at a friendly understanding in the premises with Tewfk Pasha, the Turkish foreign minister, who agreed to the de- mands of Minister Leishman.

NEWS OF THE UNIVERSITY.
D. H. Ellington is Elected Manager of
 Football Team.

University, December 20.-(Special.)- The joint committee composed of stu dents and members of the faculty ap- pointed to select a business manager for the 1904 football team reported yesterday morning and named D. II. Ellington of Mobile for the position. MT. Ellington graduated from the academic department of the university last year with the de- gree of A. B. and is back this year for law course He has always been prom inently identified with the athletic inter- ests of the university, having been for the past two seasons one of Varsity crack pitchers. His popularity, added to his eminent qualifications for the posi- ton, renders his selection highly accepta- be to the student body. Prof. E. B. Kay, university professor of engineering, left this afternoon for Washington, Philadelphia and other northern cities on business trip. He will also collect material and data for his department while away.
 The law department of the university closed yesterday. The academic exer- cises will be suspended with the close of the recitatons Tuesday afternoon.
 After the Thanksgiving game and the class football games immediately follow ing, there has always been in the past a lull in athletic activities at the .uni- versity. This session, however, promises to be an exception to the rule. A basket ball outfit has recently been installed on the campus and every afternoon a large number of students participate in the practices.
 Three representatives of the Greensboro Y. M. c. A. arrived in Tuscaloosa last night, coming to attend the Bible insti- tute to be held tomorrow with the uni versity. The Howard and Auburn repre- sentatives are expected tonight.

GYPSY CHILD TELLS
 ASTRANGE STORY
ABANDONED IN FLORENCE SHE TALKS OF THE HOME SHE FOR MERLY KNEW BEFORE BEING kIDNAPED BY OLD WOMAN.

Florence, December 20.-(Special.)- Friendless and far from home. ignorant even of the state from which she came, but still longing for the parents and little sister she may never sec again, the short life of Lucy Cole, who was deserted in this city by band of Gypsies, has been tragedy into which has been crowded more misery and heartaches than falls to the lot of most people.
 About ten years old, with brown eyes and hair, the little girl has the appear ance of child who might have good blood in her veins, but left to the tender mercies of her captors she has become a little savage. in manner not unlike the young Arab it has been her business to nurse. How long she has been with the Gypsies can only be surmised from her manner and appearance, for she does not remember and the story told to the peo- pie to whom she was given by the Gypsies is evidently false. According to them the child was given to them by her mother a month ago in Illinois and their reason for abandoning her was that she cried all the time. But this story is not corrobo- rated by Lucy. When questioned she re- fused to answer because as she says, she Is afraid the Gypsies will come back and get her, but her adventures gathered in fragments when she is off her guard, by Mrs. Lindsay. the kind woman who has taken pity on her and given her tempo rary home are about as follows:
 She was playing about in the woods near her home when old woman asked her to eat dinner with her. Suddenly she was snatched up and put in a wagon under a cover and told if she screamed she would be killed Though her memory is very hazy. she dwells constantly upon events of her home life. Looking up sud- denly she will tell of the heaps and heaps of water she crossed in skiff with her father and mother, Digger than this house, of the new home they moved into when her father went to town and bought everything new; of her little sister Annie: and of the Sunday school songs her mother taught her.
 She could give no information which would throw any light on the locality from which she came; when asked what town she lived in she shook her head and said she lived in the country
 A number of people have offered to re- lieve Joe Lindsay and his wife, who are very poor, of their charge, but they refuse to give her up until her parents are found and have taken her in with their children and treat her as kindly as if she was their own.

TRIED TO KIDNAP
 THE PRESIDENT
GOV. RODRIGUEZ OF SAN Do- MlNGo HAS BEEN OBLIGED TO TAKE SHELTER IN THE FRENCH CONSULATE.

San Domingo, Republic of Santo Do- mingo, December Thursday-Governor Rodriguez having been suspected of an intention to kidnap President Morales, has been obliged to take shelter in the French consulate. There was considera- ble firing last night in and out of town. Santiago de Los Cabello Ros is said to be now surrounded by the government forces. La Vege, San Enan and Macoris have declared in favor of the revolution.
 Fighting has occurred at Moca. The provisional government intends sending an envoy to General Jiminez in an effort to come to some amicable understanding with him.
 The provisional government has agreed to all the demands made by United States Minister Powell, including the appoint ment of arbitrators, and that their deci- sion in the improvement company mat ters and in the Sala case shall be fully recognized, and settled not to again be reopened. The Ros concession settlement is accepted and the Clyde concession will I be fully respected in all it's parts. The minister agrees not to demand any pay ment of the pending claims until March next.
 This may be considered to be another victory for American diplomacy as the provisional government had positively re- fused to recognize any of the pending American claims, saying it would oppose any attempts to collect them.
 By the action of Minister Powell the provisional government is bound by all the agreements made with former Presidents Masquez or Wos Gil. The provisional government hasprotested a draft for $20,- 900 drawn by Senor Galvan. the Domini- can arbitrator in the improvement com pany case now being arbitrated at Wash ington.
 The Dominican provisional government after considering the German Spanish protocol referring to the Vinamata- Hut tier claim for s19S.OO0 has protested to the governments of Berlin and Madrid that the protocol violates the agreements with the exterior and interior creditors of San- to Domingo including the German bond hlders.

Immense Trade.

Christmas shopping in Montgomery Is almost unprecedented in its volume. With cotton selling at 121a cents, and the crop in this immediate locality about 20 per cent better than last year, money seems plentiful, and the merchants are reaping a harvest.
 The cotton receipts here are already something like 5000 hales in advance of the total receipts of last year, and there seems to be plenty more yet held in the country. The unsold stock in the local warehouses is about 5000 bales, largely owned by the farmers. Some of them seem confident of getting 15 cents for their holdings
 Last year Montgomery farmers re- ceiyed about s9,S00,OO0 for the cotton crop, whereas the crop this year will bring to them about $75O0,000. Indeed these are prosperous times in this sec- tion.
