HAYWARD, WICK & CO.'S COTTON LETTER
tover. Private Leased wires.)

lover Private Leased Wires.)
 NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The public Is willing to be a bull on cotton; 1t is abso- iutely unwilling to bear the market. We have passed through the season of greatest actual pressure with prices ranging from SIC to 1ohc in the main. owing to the rock-ribbed stability of the spot markets and while some of the largest individual operators in the market have been con- sistently trying to create a general wave of bearishness. the effort has been sig na1iy unsuccessful
 The fact of the matter is that no one Is sure 1t is big crop and every one is quite sure that moderate crop will be used at these prices or higher.
 If the Government report on December srd should indicate yield below the average popular estimate It seems to that the market will at once show the friendliness to cotton and we also believe that before that report is Assued parties most noted for their bearishness will be in a position 10 profit by advance. Meanwhile we seem likely to have a continued irregular tuations entirely out of line with what might ordinarily be expected.
 Cables pointed to higher siafket yes terday and this morning to a lower mar ket. Tn neither did the local mar ket fully respond. The outlook for rain in the belt promoted some covering at tho opening and after starting steady, un- changed to points lower the list sold point so over last night. Yielding shortly it declined only about points from the best and in the early afternoon again rallied. Receipts are running under last years and 1t looks to though we had witnessed the largest weeks movement for the present season.

Q. D. PIERCE 0 Co.,s COTTON LErrER.

NBy PriVate Wire rom Gibert & Clay.)
 NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 10.-Nothing more than disposition to closely follow the cis- Atlantic markets was manifested in the Liv- erpool quotations today a small business with no special features existed. The clos ing prices showed a loss of 3 points on op- Gions and spots. with a moderate de- mand. Manchester advised a good bust ness in yarns and cloths market strong
 Although our market opened slightly higher. a mildly weaker undertone soon be- came apparent; this however was sum mariiy checked by the forecasts predicting much colder weather generally and rains for a large portion of the belt. with snow nlfrries in some sections. The buying in- uuced principally by shorts. but suffi- eient to cause better prices and a steady market.
 Any influence which may be derived from kAA weekend statistics to be issned tomor- row. we are inclined to think. will be for he betterment in prices indications being that the comparisons will be builish. The market presents few interesting features trading Is light and options closely coincid- Ing. The second ginners' report data. which will be received about week hence, may give some clue to the Government crop es- kinnate to be issued December 3rd. and upon khe latter report interest is chiefly centred. Until that date probably little more than a scalping market will obtain, with com barisons of the movement and spot demand he principal cause of fluctuations.

SCAFFOLD FOR GEAR
ANARCHISTS PREFER THAT HE
 DIE ON GALLONS,
Extracts from Incendiary Pamphlets Carried Into Germany by the Reds of the Russian
 Empire.

Berlin. Feb. 22-The debate which be- gan in the Reichstag January regarding the police surveillance of Russian stu. dents in Germany was resumed today in the Prussian Diet and the Prussian min ister of Justice Dr. Schoenstedt, and the Prussian Minister of the Interior, Frei- herr won Hammerstein, went at length into the allegations made in the Reichstag by Herr Haas Social DemocraO, Herr Bebel. the Socialist leader in the Reich stag. and others. The ministers explain ed the action of the Government in this matter so satisfactorily that they won the approval of the opposition speakers.
 Dr. Schoenstedt gave a full statement of the reasons for the arrest of a number of Socialists at Koenigsbug which had aroused such bitter denunciation from the Socialist speakers in the Reichstag. He said the State attorneys of East Prussia had long been aware of the existence of system of smuggling of undescribable literature into Germany and an investiga- tion had resulted in the findings of exten- sive deposits of these pamphlets hidden In various border towns. They succeeded in securing a number of. these documents most of which had been prepared in Swift zerland and translated into Russian and Lithunian. Transactions into German showed that many of these pamphlets were of reasonable and anarchistic character. Dr. Schoenstedt read a pas- sage from one document which expressly advocated murder and quoted the follow ing phrase:
 T prefer. however. that Nicholas II should not die by bullet. but rather be reserved for the scaffold."
 search of the houses where this liter ature was found brought out the fact that twelve or thirteen persons engaged in the smuggling were all socialists and corres- pondence was seized which points very strongly to the assumption that they were acting under orders of the party man. agers
 Freiherr von Hammerstein in his ad- dress referred to small document that had been seized which gave minute direc. tions for the organization of murderous plots.
 Sian government in expeilinG suspected Russians had sent them out of the coun- try across the Russian frontier instead of permitting them to choose the frontier by which they should leave, he said 1t was a general rule to permit expelled persons to propose their frontier but that exception was made in the case of the anarchists All states, he declared. are united in their efforts to combat anarchy and special agreements exist that expulsions shall be to the country where the individual was born so as not to work injustice to other States. After the Minister had concluded a few short addresses were made and every one expressed satisfaction with the govarnment's statement One speaker re- gretted that these explanations were not given fin the ReIehstaG at once so that the force of the socialist charges there might have been broken

MIR. cLBvEnAND's DEMOCRACY.
Shown While lunting as Well as in
 the, Political Field.

Grover Cleveland makes few social en- agreements in his home town, Princeton, New Jersey, but usually accepts invita- tions to go hunting. His readiness in this respect caused consternation last sam mer in a certain New Jersey farm house. The farmer was sending load of pro- duce to Princeton by a new hired man, and said, tokingly, to the latter as he was sitting on the wagon ready to start:
 Say. John, just drop in on my friend, Grover Cleveland. when you get to town, and tell him I would like to have him come out here for a days shooting when he gets time."
 John, not understanding that his em- ployer had no acquaintance with the ex- President and spoke in fun, said that he would. and he did.
 A few days afterward the farmer re- ceived note saying that Mr Cleveland and two friends would be very glad to visit him on a certain day to shoot. There was excitement in the household. The farmer felt a good deal of awe for a man who had been President of the Unit ed States, and the women of his family felt more. There was nothing to do however but make the best of the situa- ton. The prospective host polished up his rife, and his wife and daughter made preparations for a dinner that was to be the effort of their lives.
 Then they awaited with fear and trem- bling the coming of the appointed day MT. Cleveland and his friends arrived on an early train, and. guided by the farmer lost no time in getting into the woods.
 Notwithstanding the miegivings of the feminine members of the household, that dinner. Judging from the way 1t disap- peared before the onslaughts of the party from Princeton, was a great success. When leaving Mir. Cleveland said that he had spent a most enjoyable day.
 You can't judge a man from what you have heard of him." said the farmer afterward. 'I had an idea that Grover Cleveland was an iceoerg [ suppose he has to be, sometimes. But he can throw on that manner as easily as you would get out of your overcoat. Just as soon as he climbed into my wagon at the de- pot, and laughingly asked me if thought the springs could stand the strain, I forgot that he had been Presi- dent of the United States"

WILL RATIFY THE PACT MINORS WILL AGREE TO COVE NANT WITH OUTLAWS. Only Hitch, It is Believed, Will Be the Awarding of Players
 Claimed by Two or
 More Clubs.

Columbus, O., Feb. 22.-Ratidcations of the peace agreement with the Pacific national organization by the National Association Of Minor Leagues now seems assured.
 An informal conference of the mag mates of the three Class A leagues was held today and Edward HanIon of the National League outlined the proposed agreement which proved much more favorable to the Class A leagues than had been expected. It is now believed the only possible hitch~ will be in the awarding of disputed players.
 It Is thought the Pacific National will be allowed to take all players for whom straight contract can be shown pro- viding 1t ante-dates the one that has been signed with a club inside the rank of organized baseball. The real work will be done tomorrow when there will be q conference of the representatives Of all the minor leagues and Hanlon will submit his official report.
 The following were here tonight.
 American Association-Presid GriIlo George Tebeau, Louisville; Charles Raus- chaupt. Indianapolis.
 Eastern League-President Powers: Arthur Irwin. Toronto George Stailings, Buffalo: H. c. Griffiths, Jersey City, and w. Underwood, Rochester.

THE BETTING GOES ON POLICEMEN GUARD MADISON,
 ILL, POOL BOOM. Many Warrants Have Been Sworn Out and Served, But the Gam
 blers Rely on Aid of
 Authorities.

St. Louis. Feb. Notwithstanding the service of nine warrants on policemen and pool room attaches as @ result of the riots in Madison Friday. the pool room opened this afternoon at the usual hour with Policemen McCambridge and Street on guard. The attendance was larger than Saturday. many who stayed away Saturday, seemingly regaining their cour- age. Everything was quiet and the bet ting was brisk. A sharp lookout was kept though for the possible approach of an- other posse.
 The warrants were served today by Sherff Grove of Alton on Chief of Police Patrick McCambridge. Policemen John Meehan and William Street. and William Coyle, son of Mayor Patrick Coyle. Six of the warrants were against Meehan, who Is charged with false Imprisonment In five warrants, and with Hberating a prisoner in the sixth. Street and McCam- bridge are charged with resisting an off, cer and Coyle with attempted murder
 Sherif Grove accepted bond for $500 on each count for the appearance of tho prisoners at Justice Glass's court in Ed- wardsville Saturday for preliminary hear ing. Meehan's bond was 5000.
 A member of the Citizens Committee said this afternoon that other warrants would be sworn out.
 Four of the leaders of the citizens posse who took part in the efforts to close up the pool room Friday, and who were af- terward arrested and locked up by the policemen on charges of melting to riot. were arraigned before Justice Gibbs to- day. They took change of venue and asked that the case be sent to Justice J. L. Ulffer's court. Justice Gibbs refused to send the case to Justice UIfrer until he had consulted legal counsel and the date of the hearing was not set.

LADIES ARE INVITED
ARE ASKED TO SUPPORT BASE
 BALL GAMES.
Montgomery Association Passes a Resolution Urging Them to Patronize Sport-News of
 the Players.

It seems that there Is a good deal of confusion in regard to the ladies' tickets spoken of by The Advertisers few days ago, and in order to make it clear the statement Is repeated
 Following the example of the other cuubs of the league the Montgomery Baseball Association offers ladies' tickets for H each. This ticket is to be numbers ed and bears the name of the owner It will admit to the grandstand for all league games during the entire season, also to games on Tuesdays and Fridays. There will be no free days either gate or grandstand for ladies who do not hold these tickets.
 At a meeting of the Montgomery Base ball Association last night the following resolution was passed:
 We appeal to the ladies to show their appreciation of this offer and to aid us in our eforts to provide Montgomery with good baseball"
 Judge Kavanaugh. president of the Southern League. will be at the meeting in Columbus, Ohio, this morning, and will be sure and take care that the interests Of this league do not suffer. Montgom- cry probably has more at stake in the result of the meeting than any other minor league club in the country, and if the California peace pact is not ratified It will be disastrous for Montgomery.

THIS OUGHT TO CONVINCE
E. G. Fowler Will Pay for Hyomei Himself When It Fails to Cure Nokorrh

d1mself when IL Ea1Is to Cure
 Catarrh.
 eff only knew 1t to be true. I would thought the average person has when reading the claims of some of the medi- cines that are advertised as cures for catarrh.
 The results frosn the use of Hyomei are so remarkable in the cure of catarrh that they seem beyond belief The fact, though, that E. c. Fowler, one of the best known druggists in this section. has so much confidence in the power of Hyo- mel to cure catarrh that he sells 1t under his personal guarantee to refund the money if the purchasers can say that it did not help them, ought to convince the most skeptical that Hyomei can be relied upon to cure all catarrhal troubles, no matter how serious or deep-seated.
 The complete Hyomei outfit, consisting of a neat inhaler that can be carried in the purse or pocket, a medicine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei. costs only one dollar. Additional bottles of Hyomei can be procured for fifty cents. making 1t the most economical of treatments.
 Catarrhal colds, which are so common at this season of the year. have been cured in a day. Mild cases of catarrh that have become chronic are frequently cured in a week or ten days. Now is the time to begin the use of Hyomei, re- membering that Mir. Fowler sells every package on a positive guarantee to refund the money if 1t fails to cure.
