LOSSES FOLLOWING THE WAR
NEWS EXCEED HUNDRED
POINTS.
WILD PANIC IN NEW ORLEANS
TRADERS AND BROKERS BECOME
CRAZY IN THEIR EFFORTS
TO SELL.

New York, Feb. 6.-Wildest excite
ment prevailed on the floor of the cot
ton exchange during the last fifteen
minutes Of trading. caused by the
sharpest break since the recent sky.
rocket trading began. Under a good
flow of selling orders, which all but
swamped traders, prices went all to
pieces. the losses exceeding a hundred
points.
Coming as it did after the market
had recovered somewhat from the
sharp break in the morning, the trad
ers were thrown into a panic by the
sudden downward movement, and the
pit was surrounded by a bowling mob
OF men, who roughly jostled one an.
other in their eagerness to execute
commissions
In all the wildress of the scene one
man appeared calm and even indif.
ferent. He was Daniel ). Sulley. who
has been foremost in the recent sen.
sational movements on both the cotton
and copper exchanges. It had been re.
ported that Mr.. Su1ly had done some
buying earlier in the day, when prices
seemed to be at the bottom, but if the
slump caught him he showed
No Evidence Of It.
While prices were falling as il the
bottom would never be reached. it is
doubtful If Mr.. Sully or any one else
could have checked the movement.
Venturesome persons, believing the
bulls were about to push prices to
make good if possible, their boast OF
2O-cent cotton, had their margins
wiped out like slate marks under a
wet sponge, and many brokerage
houses were hard hit, being unable to
escape loss on closing out accounts.
Rumors that some were in financial
trouble were circulated after the close
of the market, but NO failures were re.
ported.
The sensational break followed the
publication of dispatches announcing
that negotiations had been broken of
between Japan and Russia. Up to that
time the market seemed to be recover
ing. At the close Of the market there
was tremendous scene, and brokers
breathed sigh Of relief when the
gong sounded.
Panic in New Orleans.
New Orleans, Feb. s. - About the
worst break in the history of cotton
future trading in New Orleans occur
red yesterday, where on vague war
rumors prices were sent down until
they were from 166 to 1870 points lower
than the close of Wednesday, and May
was 50 bale cheaper
Soon after the noon hour, and while
many brokers were at lunch, q tele.
gram was received from Chicago by a
firm saying that cables had been re-
ceived there telling of the declaration
OF war between Japan and Russia.
Values commenced to slide swiftly
downward and in five minutes time
the ring was in rsnic. Traders and
brokers who few minutes before ap-
peared to be the sanest and calmest of
men, suddenly became crazy in their
efforts to. sell either own or their GUS
toners cotton. This mad scene lasted
until well toward the close of the
market, when the ring finally had a
sold-Out appearance.

THRONG HEARD 1.-THE
DREAM OF GERONTIUS"
Large Attendance at the Cincin-
natl Music Festival Last
Night.

CINCINNATI, May 13.-To-night marked
the highest attendance at the sixteenth BIZ
ennial music festival All seats were occu-
pied and many stood throughout the even
ing. The leading attraction was the new
composition, THE Dream of Gerontius," by
the popular composer, DR.. Elgar, of Eng
land. Not only is the composer a new can
didate, but the work is something of
innovation in form. 1t is a musical setting
of Cardinal Newmans poem in which &C.
rontius is represented as dreaming of his
ascent TO heaven and to judgment Will
liam Green, tenor, had the part of Geron-
titus, Miss Muriel Foster that of angel and
Watkins Mills represented the priest and
the angel of the agony. The orchestra, the
organ and the chorus participated.
1t required an hour and a half and is so
written that but one pause was given in
all that time. That pause was seized for
an ovation TO Mills, who had the closing
solo. For lack of opportunity. other solo
lists were not rewarded with applause until
at the end, when they were given several
recalls. Miss Agnes Nichols sang the scene
and aria from Beethovens Fidelio. Alb
scheulicher" and added TO the praise al
ready accorded her. The other numbers
were STRAUSS tone poem, Death and
TRANSPORTATION, and Berlioz's hymn,
Opus. &c, for chorus and orchestra.

IMPORTANT FEE CASE
DECIDED AT WARSAW
The. Court Throws Out Every
Point Made by an Accountant
Against Former Auditor.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WARSAW. Ind. May BIN the Circuit
Court here yesterday Judge l.. w. Royse
ruled against every one of Expert Thomas
P. Kenworthy's specifications in his report
submitted against ex-Auditor NJ. A. VII
cox. whom, it is alleged. retired from office
owing the county the sum of $500.
Kenworthy was employed an expert
accountant and number of suits against
former county officers have been instituted
by the County Commissioners TO recover
various amounts alleged to be due the
county treasury.
Ex-Auditor Wilcox's case was the first to
be determined, and Judge Royse ruled
against the expert at every point raised.
The court held that money received from
township trustees for furnishing each with
a complete and adequate road-tax list from
which the trustee could work intellgently
was matter with which the county had
nothing to do.
The expert also stated in his report that
Mr.. Wilcox received $500 illegally when he
collected the amount for making a new set
of transfer books, the old ones having be-
come unfit for use. Judge Royse held that
the County Commissioners. under the stat
utes, could contract with the auditor to
make. or, rather, copy, new set of books.
