NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Jan. 12.-The cotton market
opened easy at a. decline of SOLO points
followin glover Liverpool cables than ex-
pected and rather disquieting early rumors
from the Far East
Soon after the opening March was sold
down to 1850. May to 1880 and July to
1888, these being net declines OF about 10
to 90 points At the lower level offerings
became less and the market turned lit
tic steadier and at midday prices had re-
covered to nearly the opening prices.
Again there was a slight setback under
realizing, but in the early afternoon the
market was rallied sharply as result, it
was thought, of buying for the account of
Philadelphia spot interests, while later on
the demand was increased by commission
houses, apparently favorably impressed
by the receipts which ran light. particu-
larry the semi-weekly interior figures.
On the advance buying orders were re-
ccived from New Orleans in good number,
and while at the higher level which had
carried prices to within few points of
the best of the season, there was consid-
cradle profit-taking for the account of
early buyers, prices reacted only few
points.
The market was finally steady at net
advance of 1 to s points. Sales were esti-
mated at $780, 900 bales.

A young man from Florida came
to Washington to represent news
paper in his state, says correspond
ent of New York paper. A few days
after he arrived Senator Hoar intro
duced a bill referring to a lottery in
Florida. The young reporter has
tened to see the senator. with visions
of column interview with him con-
corning the bill and its effect and all
that. The servant said the senator
would see him.
What is it?" asked Mr.. Hoar, when
the young man had been shown in.

you introduced today"

over this poor, half-witted being, but
brutes, less reasonable than he.
Juan left the door, He swept Frank
lin and Curly and Battersleigh aside
as though they were but babes.
1t was his purpose to rush out, to
strike, to kill. 1t was the moment of
opportunity for the leader of the as:
sailants. The whistle of rope cut the
air, and the moose frightened about the
giants neck with instant grip. There
I'D in the crowd. There's good ma
tayrial in you, me bully. Fair plays
julie, an it's fair play we're goin' to
have here"
Backed by a crowd of men whose
resolution was as firm as their own,
these three fell back in front Of the
door. Franklin felt his heart going
fast, and knew that more was asked Of
him here than had ever been upon the
field of battle. In moment. he re-
nected, the firing would begin.
Suddenly the climax came. The
door was thrust irresistibly open, not
from without, but from within. Stoop-
ing, so that his head might clear its
top, the enormous figure of Juan, the
Mexican, appeared in the opening.
A roar of anger and excitement rose
as the prisoner was seen standing
there before them, though outlined
only by the dim light of the sky.
Every man in the assailing party
was a surge back upon the rope a
movement which would have been
fatal for any other man. which would
have been fatal to him, had the men
got the rope to horse as they wish
ed, so that they might drag the vic
tim by violence through the crowd.
But with Juan this act was not final.
AS the great bear of the foothills,
when roped by the horseman, scorns
| to attempt escape, but pulls man and
horse toward him by main force, so
the giant savage who was now thus
assailed put forth his strength, and by
sheer power of arm drew his would-be
| captors to him, hand over hand. The
moose about his own neck he loosened
with one hand. Then he raised his
hand and let it fall. The caster of the
rope. his collar bone broken and his
shoulder blade cracked across, fell in
a heap at his feet as the swayins
crowd made way.
There came, boring into the silence
with horrible distinctness, the sound
of one merciful, mysterious shot. The
giant Strengthened up once, vast
black body towering above the blaei
mass about him, and then sank gently
slowly down, as though to curl himself
in sleep.
There was a groan. a roar. a swift
surging of men thick. black. like
swarming bees. Some bent above tbs
