Vienna, Jan. 20.-King Peter Of Ser

TIME, Montenegro, published by the
Neues Weiler journal, Is prepared
voluntarily to renounce the throne and
allow the powers to nominate his sue
cessor. s.-.~ $50
The Prince of Montenegro is said to
have received a mandate from Russia
to clear up the precarious situation in
Servia and King Peter is alleged to
have recognized the untenabiiity Of his
position and to be willing to abdicate.
His successor, it is added, will only
be permitted to ascend the throne
conditional on his agreement to pun
fish the leaders Of the conspiracy which
resulted in the assassination OF King
Alexander and Queen Draga, removing
all those who were directly or indi-
rectly concerned in the regicides.
The statement published by the

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 20.--In his In
augural address delivered before q
Joint session of the Mississippi legis-
latnre Governor James K. Vardaman
declared that the growing tendency to
assault white women is nothing more
or less than the manifestations OF the
racial desire for social equality. In
strong terms he declared that educa-
ton is the curse OF the negro race and
urged an amendment to the state con-
stitution that will place the distribu-
ti0n Of the common school fund solely
within the power Of the legislature.
Continuing his discussion Of the negro
question Governor Vardaman said:
,sR As race he is deteriorating NOR
ally every day. Time has demon.
strated that he is more criminal as .
free man than as slave; that he is
increasing In criminality with fright
ful rapidity, being one-tArd more
criminal In 1890 than he was In 1880.
The startling facts revealed by the
census show that those who can read
and write are more criminal than the
illiterates. which is true Of no other
element Of our population. I am adj

stance referred to. the Grand Duke
encountered a lady of the highest re-
spectability, to whom he had been
only formally presented. She had been
left alone for a few minutes on
porch of a Newport house while her
escort went for some cotilion favors
she had left in the ball room. The
Duke pretended to mistake the lady
for a maid and undertook to fondle
her in an audacious fashion. In great
fright the lady ran into the house,
encountered her husband and told him
what had happened.
Mear while, the hostess had sent in
search of the chief guest of the even
ing. He was found wandering about
the lawn, and was fortunate in be-
ing brought into the presence of the
lady of the house before the furious
husband could find him. The whole
matter was hushed up to avoid pub
licity; but many people know the
facts. OF course, members of "the
smart set are inclined to condone
anything a young man does when he
has imbibed too much champagne.
There is good reason. however, for
believing that the facts of the escap-
ade mentioned were sent to the Car
through a New York family that is
always received by his imperial high
ness. 1t will be observed that the
chief charge against Boris in this last

tackled the commanding officer of the

CURRAN & co.
Say Conflicting Advices Caused Both
Sides to Hold.

New York, July 21.-The cotton flu
ture market to-day opened quiet and
steady in tone, with first prices at a
decline of to points. This level rep
resented a partial response to rather
disappointing adVices from the for
eign market. There was also a lot
of Fall River strike news, and the ca
bles continued to tell of probable in
ternational complications over the Red
Sea incident. The crop adVices were
quite bearish and the private reports
from all section of belt reflected the
likelihood of a big crop. However, in
the face of these bearish factors, there
was a supporting disposition among
certain interests and at the close, Liv-
erpool Strengthened and became rather
firmer. New Orleans ruled firmer and
the adVices from that center were bull
ish. Later shorts became frightened,
and bought in big blocks with the re-
suit that the market took an upward
squirt. Stop orders were caught and
this feature added to the strength of
the spot markets in the South caused
strong tone. Later, there was talk that
too much moisture was evident in some
points in the Southwest. The Texas
advices late in the day told of serious
damage from boil weevil. On the other
hand, the advices from central and
eastern belt. were favorable. The adj
vices from various sections of belt be-
ing considered as conflicting, caused
both sides to go slow.
