SULLY TOO MUCH

Daniel ]. Sullv has proved himself the
Napolean OF the cotton pit. and to-day,

Others during his great bull campaign.
These men recently during the break
sold cotton freely and continued selling
when they should have been covering.
To-day Mr.. Sully entered the pit and
soon shoved prices up to n point where
they were forced TO bid for cotton or
to settle with him privately. II looked
ms IL prices would reach 100 points or
90 higher. and rather han take a
greater loss in the open market the
Wall street contingent went to Mr..
Sully ana settled at some points above
IL cents.
July was the month in which they
were short and when that option began
TO advance they attempted to fight the
gain and continued the battle until Mr..
Sully personally entered the pit and
amid the greatest excitement began
bidding for 5000 blocks of July cotton.
He o all that was offered until II
became clear that he was master OF
the situation. The shorts then gave up
and settled al a price about so points
over yesterdays close.
The whole market was advanced h.
Mr.. Sully's manipulation about 20
points.

COMIC OPERA WAR
! IN SAN DOMINGO
Sailor Tells How the Troops Of
the Government and the
RevoIutionists Both Marched
Up and Down the Hill.

The cocoanut laden schooner Lavinil
II. Snow. which arrived here to-day,
had bad weather from the time she left
Macoris. her last port OF call In San
Domingo. squall after sauall struck
the schooner and headed her of her
course. One by one pieces of her head
gear carried away n altogether she
lost much of her head canvas and some
rigging.
The schooner reached Macoris Jan. 2.
when the town was in possession OF
Morales and his forces. A day or two
later q force under ,Jiminez was reported
to be in the neighborhood about 10 at
tack the own. A sortie OF Morales's
troops was planned TO meet and repulse
the Jiminez forces. Mate Wood, of the
%hoone tells the story OF the battle
and Its after results:
The town was captured and suTren-
dered several times while We lay there.
IL was a comic-opera war. When Jim
inez was coming to attack Macorls the
volunteers. They started out to repulse
the attack. The gunboat l., Presidente
was lying In the harbor and q iieuten-
ant from her led the forces. He was
Tending army who wore a uniform.
the troops marched out w hundred
strong and were gone two days. Then
they came back accompanied by some
three hundred others, all cheering for
Jiminez and carrying his banners.
As l learned the story OF tho battle.
the Morales troops kept the Jiminez
army some miles out OF Macoris, anil
both sides shot off their rifles several
times, after which a parley resulted,
in which the Morales contingent de-
clded that the Jiminez forces were too
strong for them. 30 they Joined in with
them and marched back to Macoris I'M
der their Gag.
A few days later Morales sent a force
OF regulars to capture the city nnd in
the face OF their attack all lands de-
serted the Jiminez flag n went over
to Morales. The gunboat FL Presidente
Morales withdrew the regular troops
from tho city. Then Jiminez attacked
again with a few hundred men.
That is the way they fight down
there. As soon as one side gains a
victory all those who fought against
them go over to the victor. The only
casualties In the war during our stay
In the port were twenty-slX wounded
and two killed at the time tho regulars
attacked and captured the city for
Morales. One OF tine dead was brought
in with the army and next day search
parties went out through the brush and
brought in the rest. No onx knew
which side they belonged to so all of
the wounded were cared for alike, and
the two dead were buried Mt the same
time with military honors."

IS THE EMPRESS
OF CHINA DEAD2
London Gets Report of Dow
ayers Demise from Canton,
but the Rumor Is Discredited
in Official Circles.

LONDON. Feb. ia special de-
spatCh from Canton says 1t Is reported
in official circles there that lie powa-
ger Empress OF China is dead.
The Chinese Legation here has heard
nothing of tile reported death Of the
Dowager Empress and d.scredits II.
The Dowager Empress of China is
considered the most wonderful woman
of the q in the public eye. For forty
years she has ruled China with an in
telligence as astute and keen rs that
which characterizes the craftsmanship
or polity of men trained to the bust
ness OF government. She wieids a
sceptre which for autocracy and des-
potism knows no equal In the civilized
or semi-clvilized countries OF Asia n
Africa.
She cajoled the Emperor into a mar
rage after she had been introduced
into the Imperial household in a doubt
full character. One story. that is gen.
orally believed, Is that she came to
Picking as n slave. Her wit, her bright
ness OF mind. her perspective faculty
soon made her the leader among the
women OF the Emperor's court. Tung
Che fell q victim to her wiles and at the
time OF his death she was the virtual
source OF all power in China. For two
generations she has held the whip hand
on account of her Intellectual powers
and her indomitable will.
The Empress was born In 1884, the
daughter of a poor Manchu nobleman.
From 1861 to 1881 she was Empress CO.
Regent: from 1881 TO 1883 she was EN-
press Regent, and since that time has
been Empress Co-Regent. her step-son
