 N"lncy T. Ho.gatt is still at work trying to induce Gov. Brady tu call an election for the purl'osc oi eject ing q delegate lo congress. Accord- ing [" Mr. Hoggatt, sections .S62 and .S63 oi the revised statutes give the governor of Alaska all the authority of governors iii other ter ritorics. and Mr. Hoegatt contends that Alaska i> a territory and not a district.
 Decisions oi the supreme court and other judicial lo,iicS bear out the claim rcgarlin. the authority Of the governor oi Alaska, Mir. Hog gait >ayr, and he states that certain congrcSsmcn say there i> m doubt of Gov. Brady'> authority cqualing that oi any other territorial gov ernor.
 Acting on these authorities. Mr. ll"g.att calls upon Gov. Brady to issue q proclamation caliin. for an election oi d delegate to congress. lt i> too lalr for any such action this year. hut he urges the governor to issue proclamation next year giving sixty days notice of an clrc- tion to take place early in Sep tcmbcr.
 Mr. lloggatt says the true Siina- ti"n was made apparent to him by a remark of President RonSevelt in which the President said he thought Alaska Il territory. not Il district. and therefore its governor would be vested with ali the authority of the governor of Arizona. Oklahoma or any other territory. Delving int" the revised statutes, MT. Hog gait found as the President stated.
 Until the reorganization of Alas ka in 1900 the governor acted as the government agent. Under the new code and according to sections Oi the revised statutes this is chang cd and the governor Is given all the powers customary in his office.
 Therefore. according to the con tenii"n, it simply remains for Gov. Brady to call an election for d dele gate and the tim~-worn discussion on that subject will he at an end.
 Governor Brady assured Mr. Hoggatt that he would include the brief in his annual report which he Is now writing.
 The ke,chikan delegation to the Non-Parti>an convention, and the Delaney delegates from Juneau were not satisfied with the re- suits of the regularly called con vention, S" they sprung a Ssconl one the following day. at which they appointed a committee who were instructed to draw up resolu- tions favorins territorial govern nient. Swineford and the other orators did not have d chance to make their spiel on the ''God-given rights" of the minority at the reg ular convention, which accounts for the second convention.

Wine Testing by Telephone.

| Wine testing by telephone is the latest contrivance of a Paris inventor. Un- scrupulous vendors will not blame M Maneuvrier. assistant director of the lab oratory of researches of the Paris facul- ty of sciences. He has just discovered
 an infallible method of ascertaining by the use of the telephone how much a given quantity of wine has been watered. l The principle on which the invention rests is the variable conductivity of diff ferent liquids, notably of wine and water
 The apparatus works as follows: Two vessels. one containing wine known to be pure, the other the same quantity of the wine to be tested. are placed on an instrument outwardly resembling a
 pair of scales. The telephone is in con-
 tact with both liquids. If the sample of standard used for comparison no sound is heard; if, on the contrary, it contains
 water, the telltale teephone speaks" |" and the greater the proportion of water the louder the instrument complains A dial on which a number of figures are marked Is connected with the telephone
 To ascertain the proportion of water in the wine tested, the operator moves a hand on the dial until the telephone, which has been speaking all this time
 lapses into silence. The hand has thus been brought to a certain figure on the dial. This number Is then looked up in a chart which the ingenious and pains taking inventor has drawn up. and cor responding to it is found indicated the exact proportion of water contained in the quantity of wine.

Especial to The Advertiser.J


 NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 25.-As Liverpool advices were encouraging our market opened 5 to points higher advanced IS to " addi- tionai, subsequently, on September, and the later months, owing to the weekly weather report being more unfavorable than expected The continued circulation of boil weevil re- ports rom Texas also assisted materially in the enhancement. Realizing later caused a decline of 10 to 1 from the top. making the closing points lower on August where as all the other months showed a net gain of g tc 10 points on the day.
 was as follows:
 Cotton has suffered materially from heavy rains, and lack of sunshine over large part Of the central and eastern districts of the cotton region, where as in the previous week rapid growth and in some localities too much stalk, excessive shedding and rust are report ed. The plant. however. is generally well fruted throughout the belt. In Texas the boil weeytl is doing much damage, except in the northern counties and boil worms are more has been done throughout the southern por- tion of the belt, but this work is not gen. eral.''
 Scattered showers have fallen in the south ern portion of the belt during the past twen- ty-four hours. It is predicted that showers the great portion of the valley and Western Gulf States except that 1t will continue fair over the northern and western portions of East Texas. The sharp advance established during the past two days. it is thought by many has been too rapid and reaction may be in order. Nevertheless the undertone is steady and as crop accounts from various sections and Texas continue unfavorable. 1t is ques- tionable whether any marked decline will be established. In any event, under existing cir months on all sharp breaks, and suggest taking profits on strong periods.

any further advance in the winter options
 This resistance. however does not appear fin the official price cables, the advance reg istered In Liverpool to-day answered all re- quirements. The real truth Of the matter is
 that the statis'ical position of that market VIII hardly pc &it of any very great degree Of delay on tho part spinners in anticipating their requirements. Manchester cables to-day advise more business doing in cloths and yarns hardening In the American dry goods markets slightly improved tone Is noted in the inquiries at first hands. Jobbers con- tinue active with a complement of buyers
 While last weeks weather bureau report not ed increased activity of the boil weevil in the first official utterance confirming crop de- terioration and sets at rest any further doubt concerning the aviidity of private accounts that have been in circulation, by the statement that the Texas crop has deteriorated greatly during the week and the yield promises to be considerably below the average, except in the
 northern portion of the State. where aver age yield is still possible, and that cotton has
 suffered Nmaterially from excessive rains and
 lack of sunshine over large portion of the central and eastern belt. The fact remains that any further decline in condition, consid- ering the extreme lateness will cause the abandonment of the ideas that bumper crop can be expected, in which case the question consumption. According to all theories a re- action after the advance of the past two days would be in order, however. all indica- tions point to higher prices. and we believe in purchases on good breaks, the only feature lacking for pronounced advance is as we stated yesterday. the absence of outside buy Ing in volume.

IN BEHALF OF COSBYS TALLAPoOSA CITIZENS PETI-
 TON FOR CLEMENCY. Judge Jones is Receiving Many Communications Urging Mercy for Men Who Pleaded Gull
 ty to Peonage.

Citizens of Tallapoosa County are mak- ing an earnest effort to secure the release from the Atlanta penitentiary of G. D. Cosby and Barancas F. Cosby who plead ed guilty to peonage and conspiracy in the United States Court about two months ago and were sentenced to one year and day each.
 Judge Thomas G. Jones of the Federal Court receives daily petitions from Tal- lapoosa County asking clemency tor the Cosbys. Each of these petitions applauds the Court for effectually putting an end to the practice of peonage but declares that the Cosbys were in ignorance as to the law and prays that they be given an op- portunity to become better citizens.
 Among the petitions received yesterday was a series of resolutions adopted at a mass meeting of citizens of East Tallas- see.
 The resolutions are as follows:
 East Tallassee, Ala, Aug. IS. 1903.
 ''The citizens of East Tallassee. Talla- poosa County in mass meeting assembled adopted the following preamble and reso- lution:
 Whereas, a state of lawlessness has existed in this County and State in hold ing people in a state of involuntary seIvi- tude known as peonage,
 And whereas, the Federal grand jury at nOil SOIlCIy at us lSNOil SCoolOI, hlu It's duty in bringing to light and in in- dieting tne guilty ones,
 And whereas. Judge Jones has done his duty fearlessly and periodically,
 Therefore. be 1t resolved, By this mass meeting assembled, that We indorse the action of Judge Jones in so fearlessly do- ing his duty in regard to these cases,
 Be 1t further resolved, While the Cos bys were guilty of violating the above mentioned law and were sentenced to the Atlanta penitentary, and just sentence, too still they were ignorant of euch a law being in existence, and are good men of gsod families, and we think that the law has already been vindcated, and We respectfully ask that they be released"
 The resolutions are signed by w. A. Warren as Chairman, and D. B. Ray as Secretary.
 Judge Jones has the power to set aside the sentence and to grant new trial or to suspend the execution of the sentence.

q. D. Baxter 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.
 fBy Private I,eassd WireI

NEW YORK, Aug. 25--Early cables were quite up to expectation and the bulish feel ing in the local market was apparently on the increase. Boil weeet scare is helping the market, and it was expected that weekly bureau report during the afternoon would in tensify the feeling in favor of cotton. There were no signs of cotton moving to market in considerable quantities for some time. in fact shorts were showing no little anxiety. The month is about closing with receipts of new cotton amounting to nothing worthy of men 1ton, whereas the receipts so far last season were quite heavy. Of, course there will be plenty of cotton later on to satisfy immediate requirements but that movement will have to keep up on a liberal scale to prevent fre- quent scares and big spurts. Early prices were seven to fifteen points higher. after which there was a reaction of to 10 points on profit taking. The weather news was very good. especially as to the temperatures which was very high in Texas. Port receipts were estimated at 100 against lo,68l last year. A large amount of cotton reported here from Liverpool, the bureau report fully as bullish expected, and the effect was to harden the market and arrest a decline which seemed to be pending when report appeared
 Cables were steady at to 1 1 net advance.
