1t seems to be the sentiment of own
ers of small mills and of treasurers
who are short of cotton that curtail-
ment of production is absolutely neces-
sary.
Some of the larger mills intereste ed
in New England, especially several of
the manufacturers in the northern sec
ton, Who have a fair cotton supply,
are not advocating a shut down at
this time, and it is not believed they
would care to do much curtailing un-
less they received assurances that the
movement would be general in all sec
tons North and South.
Charles H. Fish, for many years
president of the New England Cotton
Manufacturing Association, regards the
situation as serious and believes that
many mills will have to shut down.

UPTON AND M'GREGOR
GUILTY OF FRAUDS,
Their Counsel Severely Scored the
POstOmce Department.

Baltimore, Md, Dec. S.-Columbus
Ellsworth Upton and Thomas w. Nc
Gregor, on trial in the United States
District Court here for conspiracy to
rob the government in connection with
a contract for letter pouches, were
found guilty this afternoon. Sentence
was suspended, pending a motion for
a new trial.
To-day's session of the court was
taken up entirely by arguments of
counsel for the prosecution and de-
Tense. District Attorney John c. Rose
and Charles j. Bonaparte addressed the
jurors for the government, and
Messrs. A. f. L. Lecl1ie of Washington
and William S. Bryan, Jr., of this city,
for the defense.
In the course of his remarks Mr..
Bryan took occasion to criticse the
methods of the Postoffice Department.
He said in part:
First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne is over paid for merely sign
ing letters he does not read. The whole
Postoffice Department is incompetent
ly and shamelessly run and the gov
eminent is bounding McGregor and
Upton as scapegoats because of gross
incompetency in conducting the affairs
of the department"
He ridiculed Mr.. Wynne as a high
roller" and a man who lived on cham
payne green peas and canvasback
ducks, and did not at
tend to his business. and call
ed attention to the way the
government had sent special counsel,
besides the district attorney, to perse-
cute McGregor and Upton.

JOHN SAPP FOUND WAS
WITHOUT COAT AND SHOES,
Badly FrOstbitten and MuddIed iii
Mind.

cambridge, Ga, Dec. S.-Mr. John
Sapp, who was missing yesterday and
was thought to have been murdered,
was found late yesterday afternoon in
a negro house on Mr.. Rastus Rainey's
farm, at Fowlton, aboue seven miles
south of this city. When found he
was without coat and shoes, and his
feet were in a terribly lacerated con-
dition and frozen black.
Mr.. Sapp had reached the negro
house and sent the negro to this city
to tell his brothers to come for him,
as there was a mob after him. Mr..
Sapp seemed to be rational on every
subject except that he imagined that
a mob was after him for the purpose
of killing him. When asked why he
left the buggy and his wife on Sun
day night, he said that he saw seven
or eight men with shotguns surround
the buggy, and that he knew he would
have no chance amongst them, and
that they would not harm his wife.
Mr.. Sapp is quiet at present, but is
unable to walk.

1T WOULD NOT FLY
LANGLEY'S "AIRsHIP" TOOK TO
THE WATER.
WAS COMPLETELY WRECKED.
MANLY WAS GIVEN A COLD BARN
IN THE POTOMAC.

Everything Was in Readiness for
the New Trial of the Invention.
Conditions Were Perfect, but the
Machine Would Not Respond to
the Demands to Fly That Were
Made Upon It-PrOf. Langley saw
the Attempt.
Washington, Dec. S.-Under weather
conditions which were regarded as
perfect the Langley airship, or aero
plane, to-day was given a second trial
a short distance from Washington
down the Potomac. the result being the
complete wreck of the airship.
Everything had been in readiness for
the trial for some days, so that it was
felt all that was needed for the test
was the right sort of wind and wealth.
err This afternoon these conditions
presented themselves and the test was
made.
On word being given to launch the
aeroplane, it glided smoothly along the
launching tramway until the end of
the tramway was reached, when on
being left to itself, the aeroplane broke
in two and turned completely over,
precipitating Prof. Charles M. Manley,
who was operating it, into the icy wa
ter beneath the tangled mass. One Of
his assistants leaped overheard and
brought him aboard the houseboat, on
which the launching tramway was laid.
Prof. Langley was present to witness
the test and appeared crestfallen when
he saw the product of months Of study
and labor disappear beneath the wa
ter.
At 4:40 o'clock this afternoon, when
all was ready and with darkness fast
approaching, Prof. Langley called his
chief assistant, Mr.. Manly, aside and
gave him his last instructions. The
latter then donned his life jacket and
entered the car.
After few moments he set the ma
chinery in motion and the propellers
rapidly revolved. Then he gave the
signal, and an instant later there was
a crash. The after part of the ship
fell upon the deck of the houseboat.
while the forward part in which Prof.
Manly was seated, was seen to rise
slightly, then turn completely over and
drop into the water few feet away.
without having flown even the slight
est distance.
The failure to fly was total, and the
wreck of the aeroplane was almost
complete.

GO TO THE COMMITTEE.

Washington. Dec. S.-The House to-
day authorized the Committee on POST
offices and Post Roads to request the
Postmaster General to supply the COM
mittees with papers in connection with
the recent investigation of the Post

by Mr. Overstreet chairman of the
committee, that the purpose of the res
olution was to supply the committee
with information essential to the proper
consideration of appropriation bills.
The minority, under the leadership of
Mr.. Williams of Mississippi, made an
unsuccessful effort to amend the reso-
luton so as to provide that the House

RUSSIA'S ANSWER
TO JAPAN'S PROPOSALS.
1t Is Said That 1t Renders Peace
QuIte Probable.

4uAte I-FODHDles
ST. Petersburg, Dec. 8.-Peace be-
tween Russia and Japan is now be-
lleved to be assured, as the result of
the action of the Car at Tsarskoe Selo,
where he and Foreign Minister Lams-
dorff have considered the reply to the
Japanese proposals.
If Japan is willing to accept some
notifications, there is nothing to stand
in the way of a complete agreement.
The notifications are said to be of mi
nor importance.
The convention will cover only Corea.
Russia acknowledges Japans predomi-
mating influence there, with the right
to protect it. Certain reservations are
made regarding coast defenses or sta
tions, to prevent any interruption Of
Russian sea communication with Vlad-
livestock and Port Arthur, Russia's free
dom of trade and concessions which
Corea has guaranteed.
A separate understanding will cover
Manchuria, Japan agreeing to leave the
question of evacuation in allegiance,
and recognizes Russia's special posi-
ton and special interests there and I'M
dertakes not to interfere with them. In
return, Russia is to acknowledge ia
pans trading privileges secured under
treaties with Corea.
If Japan is ready to make the con-
cessions asked for by Russia, it is be-
leved that only a brief time, possibly
the final step of the negotiations, as
Japan's acceptance will be followed by
Russia's formal response.
1t is said that throughout the negotia-
tons the Gar was actuated by a spirit
Of moderation and the desire to pre-
serve the peace

Fall River, Mass, Dec. S.-The move
for national meeting of cotton men
and the formation of a plan for the
curtailment of cotton manufactured
goods, which took definite form in
Charlotte, N. c., to-day, is favorabIy
received here.
While the concensus of opinion ex-
pressed was that the plan was most
excellent and move in the right di-
rection, it was pointed out that when
1t came to putting the plan into exc
cution the various mill treasurers would
probably act as local conditions de-
manded. Local manufacturers would
attend general convention and say
that probably some agreement could
be reached for general curtailment.

tailment..

At the Opening, but Good Support
Developed.


New York, Dec. S.--Infiuenced by a
break in the Liverpool market, where
spot cotton was about half a cent low
err and futures at decline of from
IS to IA points, the cotton market to-
day had weak opening under liqui-
dalton and bear pressure, with first
prices II to Is points lower. Good sup
port developed on the decline, however,
and shortly after the opening prices
had rallied to a net loss of about to
Is points. There was a continuation
of the heavy selling at the partial re-
covery and the market ruled irregu-
lar, with trading active and the room
sentiment unsettled.
Trading was rather less active after
the early recovery, and fluctuations
continued very irregular. At the best
January sold at 12.34c; March, 12.5Oc;
May, 12.57c, and July at 1880, a gain
from the low point of Sc to 80 points,
and net advance of 10 to % points,
but the higher level attracted a renewal
of heavy realizing, and the market was
finally steady. 2 points lower to points
