--Pandemonium Broke Loose on the Cotton Exchange

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-At no time
since or before the war of the re-
bellion has cotton been king more
than it was today. The market be-

loo to the bears.
When the exchange opened the
bulls did not waste any time in lining
up and beginning operations. Cotton
began to climb and the excitement
began to increase as it went up point
by point. The bears went mad, abso-
lutely crazy as they saw their for
tunes fading away. When it finally
reached 16 cents pandemonium broke
loose and nothing like it was ever
seen in the big hall before.
Cotton has probably reached it's
highest point. a reaction is looked

F.. HORROR

CIIESWICK, Pa, Jan. 2S.-At 10
o'clock this morning the bringing of
bodies from the mine was temporary
stopped. There is no longer room
for the dead bodies until some are
removed and buried. Those recover
ed, 26, are lying at the foot of the
shaft ready to be hoisted. The north
entry to the mine has been explored
to the end. Bodies are piled along
the passage and will be brought up
as soon as possible. Searchers are
now in the south entry. where the
explosion occurred. Horrible sights
are witnessed, as the bodies were
torn to pieces.
1t has been decided to remove the
bodies from the heated mine. They
will be wrapped in blankets and laid
in the snow outside the mine. Sew
eral more were removed badly
swollen. Sunday has been set as the
day for the funerals. Twenty men
are digging graves a short distance
from the shaft. Eighteen were iden-

The cure worked rapidly, as every
one remembers, her majesty overdid
it, and her hair turned gray-later on
to snowy white. The kaiser did not
like that, but, as nothing could be
done, he consoled himself with the fact
that his wife's face had remained
young and she had obtained a perfect
figure.
The kaiserin keeps herself rigidly
to her fixed plan of living. She drinks
hardly anything. She is most careful
what she eats, in spite of healthy
appetite. Potatoes, sugar and bread
have no part in her bill of fare.
As to exercise, her majesty is in
.defatigable. If the weather is too bad
to SO out riding or walking, she makes
the rounds of the palace upstairs and
downstairs several times a day. Some
one was heard to ask lately. on the
occasion of the kaiserin mounting four
flights of long stone steps, why an

Inferior Cotton Sent Abroad.

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-Apart from the
continued exceptional dearness of
cotton. which is playing havoc with
Lancashire's staple industry, there
are other disturbing influences in
many of the cotton spinning and
manufacturing towns of that county.
Serious and growing complaints are
being made by thousands of oper-
atives concerning the inferior and
coarse quality of the material they
have to work-it is limited in some
quarters that the best fruits of the
cotton plantations are kept in the
United States for consumption by
the spindle and loom owners there
which seriously initiates against the
Lancashire operatives earning salts
