HABEAS CORPUS WRIT
ALLOWED FOR DANIELS.
He VIII Be Given a Hearing Before
Judge Pritchard.

Washington, June 2.-Judge ]. G..
Pritchard of the Fourth United States
Circuit Court, to-day granted tenn
porary writ of habeas corpus, order
ing the marshal to produce before
Judge Pritchard tomorrow Josephus
Daniels, president of the Raleigh, N.
c., News and Observer, who has been
held in contempt of court by Judge
Purnell of the federal court, when the
legality of Mr.. Daniels detention will
be inquired into by the judge.
Attorneys for Daniels presented their
petition and affidavit in the case at
the home of Judge Pritchard in this
city. Judge Pritchard declined to sign
the writ in Washington, which is out
Of his jurisdiction. Accompanied by
the attorneys he went to Alexandria,
Va, where the writ was signed. He
will hear arguments in the case at
Raleigh tomorrow and will then give
his final decision.
Former Governor Thomas ]. Jarvis
of Greenville and Robert T. Gray and
James H. Pou of Raleigh, who came
to Washington to represent Daniels,
received a telegram to-day from Gov.
Aycock, stating that Judge Purnell
had approved the bond rendered by
the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail-
road and that the receivers who were
named by the court were ousted. This
action is the result of writ of super
sedeas granted by Chief Justice Fuller
suspending Judge Purnells order nam
ing a receiver for the road.
The attorneys in the Daniels case
first presented their affidavit and pc
tition for a writ of habeas corpus to
the chief justice, who acted in the
matter Of releasing the road from the
receivership, but referred the other
matter to Judge Pritchard. Judge
Pritchard arrived in Washington yes
terday from Richmond, Va, where he
mad qualified as judge of the Fourth
United States circuit. In hearing the
Daniels case he performed his first
official act under his new judicial hon
ors.
The contempt case grows out of a
published criticism of Judge Purnell's
action in the receivership matter.

LIMA MILITIA.

.1outic and North Carolina Rail-
road Returned to State Authorities
NV the Supersedeas of Chief Just
toe FuIIer-BOnd Approved, but
PurneH Questioned the Legality
of FuIIer's Order - Receivers
NyouIdn't Surrender Road.
Raleigh, N. c., June '2.-The final
scene in the return of the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad to the
state authorities was sensational.
Judge Purnell approved the bond re-
ouired in the supersedeas of Chief JUS
tice Fuller, saying that he doubted its
legality, as it was signed out of the
circuit by the chief justice, but would
approve it in Difference to his superior
officer. He also questioned as to
whether the state could get possess
sion from the receivers without fur
ther order.
Gov. Aycock wired the superintend-
ent of the road at Newbern to take
rossession. The answer came back
that the receivers would not recog-
nize his authority, though warned that
this was at their peril Supt. Dill
asked if he should put them out.
Gov. Aycock telegraphed back to put
them out of the office, and if necessary
call on the sheriff to do so, adding;
IF military is needed. notify me.
order of Chief Justice Fuller shall be
obeyed."
The Governor wired authority to
sheriff and military to act, if needed
saying the order of the chief justice
should be enforced with the whole
power of the state.
Finally by the use of constructive
force, Receivers McBee and Meares
were removed and are now on their
way to Raleigh.
The arrival of President Bryan of
the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail-
road tonight was signalized by the
shrieking of whistles, ringing of bells,
explosion of torpedoes and salvos of
cheers. A band played Hail to the
Chief" and at Mr.. Bryan's home a
short informal reception was held.

st. Petersburg June 2.-Lieut. Col.
Gourko Is attached to the staff of Gen.
Fock and was the bearer of important
information regarding the fighting at
Kin Chou and the situation at Port
Arthur. A long dispatch Is now be-
ing deciphered at the War Office. 1t
probably contains the intelligence
brought by Lieut.. Col. Gourko, and it
is believed that at least portion of
it will be given out tonight.
According to information in possess
sion of the general staff, the enemy
has five divisions and five reserve
corps. about $4,000 men, on the Liza
Tung peninsula and at least seven
divisions and seven reserve corps, or
about 125,000 men, in Southern Man
churia.
Although the impression prevailed
among the members of the general
staff that Gen. Kuroki's purpose was
to make feints to prevent Gen. Kuro-
patkin from moving, but not to at
tack him until the result of the cam
paign against Port Arthur is deter
mined, there Is now apparently more
inclination to think he will try dem
onstration in force, which might re-
suit in a decisive engagement. The
Japanese commander is constantly
shifting his columns back and forth
TO conceal his real purpose, the latest
reports received being that he had
again abandoned Saimatsza, north Of
Feng Wang Cheng.
All the reports drifting into Gen. Ku-
ropatkin's headquarters from the
kwang- -Tung peninsula are increasing
the extent of the japanese losses at
Kin Chou, one to-day making the num-
ber about 10000. Accurate reports of
the Russian losses as well as of the
Russian forces engaged, were, probably
brought by Lieut.. Col. Gourko to Muk-
den from Port Arthur. 1t Is known
that the Japanese statements are i'm
correct in a number of particulars. For
instance, they gave the name of a regi-
ment as engaged which really is at
Lao Yang.

BROWN BUYS HEAVILY
AS THE MARKET FALLS.

New Orleans, June 2.-Following the

1arly July, was thrown on the ring,

decline, which was brought about sole
ly by short selling.

BANK TELLER TOOK
$4,000 OF BANKS FUNDS.
He Says He Used the Money in Spec
uIatfOns.


New Haven, Conn. June 2.-The loss
of $4,000 to 100000 through the en-
bezzlement of its funds by trusted
employee Douglass NJ. Smith, is ad-
mitted by the officers of the National
Tradesmen's Bank of this city. The
exact loss is not yet known.
Smith. who ~was paying and receiv-
ing teller of the bank has acknowledged
voluntarily that he embezzled about
$4,000 and the greater part of it, if not
all, within the past eight or nine
months. In a statement given out to-
night by Cashier H. w. Thompson of
the bank, the following explanation of
the situation is made:
THE examination by the national
examiner was held last December, and
that by the committee of the directors
shortly afterward. In neither examina-
ton was any discrepancy in the ac-
counts of Mr.. Smith discovered. When
it was decided to have another exam
ination on Tuesday last Mr.. Smith did
not come to the bank. He sent a
message saying that he had been TAX
ing money from the bank, and that
he was not able to cover 1t up. He
said that as he could not hope to make
good the loss he would not run away,
but would meet whatever punishment
the courts might mete out to him.
"As near as we can make out by the
examination thus far given we believe
that he has taken about 100000. That
is the sum which he himself estimates.
He was under bonds for $4,000 given
by an indemnity company. AS Mr..
Smith says, he has not saved a penny
during his life time, and cannot make
good the loss. we shall have to stand
the balance of the defalcation above
the $4,000 indemnity bonds.
"Mr. Smith says he has been spec
ulating, and that he took the money
for that purpose. The bank is safe
and sound. There is no danger to
either our depositors or our stockhold-
ers.''
Smith was arrested this afternoon.
He was held in $4,000 bail for examina-
tion, June IL.

BAD WEATHER HAS
CAUSED FALL IN COTTON.
Sensational Tumble and Heavy
Trading in New York.

Sensational Tumble and Heavy
Trading in New York.
New York, June 2.--There was a SEN
sational break in July cotton to-day.
The change for the better in weather
conditions recently and the continued
light demand, in connection with the
persistent hammering of the bears,
seemed to have demoralized the bulls
and since the market opened on last
Tuesday there has been a steady and
increasingly heavy outpour Of long
cotton. On last Friday July closed at
12.s0c. 1t reached 1850 during this
morning, a decline for a little over
two business days OF 125 points, or
~ cents a pound. July opened to
11.9Oc, sold to 1LS5c on the call and
then broke or 4 points at a clip until
1t reached 11.55c
Following this, offerings subsided
somewhat, and the bears started COW
ering, causing slight rally, but the
undertone of the market remained very
nervous and excited.
The rally carried July back to 11.7sc.
but 1t seemed that there was still long
cotton to come out, and in the early
afternoon another wave of selling
drove July down to 11.5Oc. At this
new low level stop orders were caught,
and another large block of cotton came
on the market, forcing the price to
11.s6c. net decline of 60 points since
the close of the market last night.
In the late trading shorts covered.
and the market turned steady with
prices to 10 points up from the bot
tom, but at net loss OF 10 to so
points.
The sales of the day were estimated
at 100000 bales, representing one of the
most active days since the Sully COLI
lansa

COTTON MILLS
SHUTTING DOWN
TO CURTAIL PRODUCTION
ON ACCOUNT OF THE DEPRESSION
IN THE INDUSTRY.

More New England Mills Are Forced
to Suspend Operntions-sOme Shut
Down for Certain Periods, While
Others Operate but "A Few Days in
the Week-MOvement for CurtniI-
ment May Prove Even More Far
Reaching Than Now.
Boston, June 2.-Orders were issued
to-day by several cotton mill man
ayers, instructing agents to curtail
production on account of the depres-
sion in the textile industry.
Many mills in Southern and Central
New England have been running on
short time all the spring, and at pres
ent about $4,000 operatives are affected.
The employees of the Pemberton mills
of Lawrence were notified to-day that
the plant would be shut down on Sat-
urday for two months. A similar no.
tice was posted also at the Methuen
mills in Methuen. About 1000 hands are
employed by the two concerns. The
Arlington mills cotton department at
Lawrence is on short time.
The mills of the Wamsutta Corpora
tion, the largest in New Bedford, were
closed tonight for the remainder of
the week. 1t is understood that three
of the mills operated by the corpora
tion will remain closed for some time,
while the others will run only four
days each week The Wamsutta COM
pany employs about 1900 hands.
The New Bedford mills have been
running on full time, and the Wam-
sutta is the first there to adopt
short time schedule. The curtailment
possibly may extend to other mills, as
some of them are controlled by inter-
ests which are identified with the
Wamsutta management.
The Edwards Manufacturing Com
pany of this city will close its mills at
Augusta, Me-, in July for two months.
There are about 1,4O0 operatives in Au-
gusta.

 THE CONGRESS VIcTIM-Readers of The Republican will remember men tion of a fire at Congress, a few days ago, in which one man was burned to death though his identity was un known at the time of the report. It has now been established, according to the following from the News s-Herald: Two men were slightly burned and Joe Couch. strange Cornishman, was burned to death. He had been in town a few days and was going to work in a day or two. He seemed like a good fellow but it was barely known that he had come down from Crown King a few days before and that he had formerly lived in Utah. The evening before the fire was pay day night. and all the boys had plenty of money. Joe had not missed his drinks in the rounds and it was likely that he was somewhat under the influence of liquor at the time he went to bed. One of the boys. who was well acquainted at the Grand View saloon, asked to let Joe sleep in a little back room that was there, and permission was readily granted. A little after midnight he was seen to go in that direction with his blanket, and it is reasonably cer- tain he was asleep there when the fire broke out. and being somewhat in tOXic1tP6 SR probably never reused him till the fire was close onto him and, from where the body was lying, it looked as if he had awakened amid smoke and fire and tried to run, and not knowing which way to run, he ran farther into the fire, and in a half suffocated state fell and rolled under the piano. where his charred remains were found.

 The comedy is the joint work of three Of the most successful writers of musi- cal comedy. They are Wm.
