People Aroused.

The discovery that Cincinnati firm has sent agents into the south. and probably into this state, selling to the ignorant negroes Iewd pictures representing white women and negro men in the most disgusting positions. aaI also picture representing the president dining with Booker T.
 Washington, has aroused the just in diEnation of the good people of the country. These pictures appeal only to the most deprayed of creatures, a class that is easily excited to commit the most heinoas Of crimes. and the parties guilty of placing such scenes before their gaze deserves more se- we're punishment than is provided un. Ger the law. The intelligent colored citizens of this state condemn the sale of these pictures. and al a recent meeting of negro political club of Little Rock resolutions were adopted asking that any member of the race approached by such agents imme- diate1y notify the officers. Planters and all officers should keep a sharp lookout for offenders of this class.

thur, It is the veriest nonsense" ." said the official informant Nothing has occurred there to warrant such re- ports The Japanese fleet has not been seen for IS hours The motive of the Tokio government in spreading this story probably is to influence public feeling in Japan. for the purpose of creating enthusiasm while war loan is being floated
 The newspapers here manifest the greatest indignation over the report, the BOeTse Gazette characteriZ.ng it as outrageous and British invention. Attention is redireeted to the order of the day issued by Lieut.. Gen. Stoessel, commander al Port Arthur, in which he declared that that place never would be surrendered as representing the Russian position. Relative to th.s point a military officer said:
 says it is Absurd.
 "This mere statement carries it's own refutation. unless We meant to beat an ignoble retreat all along the line. If We abandon Port Arthur We leave our fleet there to be doomed. It is too ab- surd to discuss"

Leonard Wood while he was in Cuba serving as military governor during American occupation was held up 10 censure Tuesday in an active session of the senate lasting two hours by Senator Blackburn. who joined the minority report against confirmation of Wood to be major-general. The speech of Senator Blackburn is said to have been one of the continues flows or oratory for which he is famous, and though punctuated with denials and questions from friends of the nomi- nee, was, 1t is said, well-conneeted comment on the evidence given iu the committee hearings. He did not con clude his remarks, and will have the floor at the next executive session. The programme as now arranged provides that Senator Quarles shall follow Sen ator Blackburn in a speech fayoring confirmation, Senator Teller to address the senate in opposition and Senator Foraker to close for Wood. As no general appropriation bills are report cd to the senate to take the right of way, 1t is thought now that an agree ment to vote on the nominations will be reached.

MARKET CONDITIONS.

Owing 10 trouble. wires in the east caused by heavy storms the general market has been somewhat inactive bo.h in the listed and unlisted secu- rites. Boston and New York were also unable tc do business. Some c. & D. full paid was offered for sale today on the eastern market from this city, and was quickly taken up by them, which goes 10 show that the majority of the moneyed people have the great est confidence in this property and consider it cheap buy at the preva l. ing prices. P. & D. was readily talk en up at S56 and only too glad to get the opportunity Of buy at that price. Junction continues to be in good de mand with no stock offered, and II ycu want any of this you will have to bid up for you can rest assured that this Is a cheap buy. Do not be afraid of the call of s2 per share payable OF the 5th of April. This stock will carry its call and then some. After the call is paid just add g to the present price and you will notice on the 5th of April that your stock has carried it's call, probably a little with it. c. & A. reaches s110, and L. S. & P. is still firm at s15G. We under stand that the Worlds Fair group will be formed into development compa- ny shortly.
