The following cotton letter was fur
nished to the Graphic by c. C. Taylor
and company:
New York, Nov. 12.-Some Of the
local speculative interests which
bought cotton last week in anticipa-
ton of rise in sympathy with the
wave of bullish speculation which has
been passing over the stock market
are protesting disappointment at the
absence of much out side interes, to
develop since the resumption of bust
ness after the election. The liquida-
ton of these purchases ard the putting
out of fresh lines Of shorts, together
with a resumption of aggressive OPP
arations by II" local bear clique were
the principal causes of the depression
Of Wednesday and Thursday The
trading element, however, soon over
sold themselves in following this de
velopment, and when attempt was
made to cover shorts yesterday on
the developm ent of a better spot de-
mand the market promptly recovered.
The lighter movement of the crop fer
the week and firmness with which
prices at all the southern spot mar
let's had been sustained, together with
TIE Manchester and Lancashire mar
kets enjoying greater activity in the
product and profitable sale of cloths
than for several years .pnd. the gen
eral belief that the dry goods indus
try in this country will %on show a
RIVAL of activity, more than offset
arguments which the bears have con-
tinued to put forth regarding the size
of the crop and the movement to mar
kef. and the amount Left in the in
terror still to come forward it has
been a necessity in fact for the lead
Ing bear interest to maintain an ag-
erssive attitude, otherwise the market
would probably have improved. Spec
nlation at present continues of small
and is confined almost en-.
tirely to the local operators and va
rious trade interests, but we are look.
ing forward too for a time when we
shall see more activity and believe
higher prices will ultimately prevail.
At the moment there is little bet
ter in prospect than a comparatively
narrow market. We, however, believe
it will prove good one to scalp for
moderate profits and we would there
fore continue to favor purchases of
any of the winter or spring months
especially on all breaks from the
present level for moderate turns We
would rather favor adhering to this
policy than We would to suggest short
sales to any extent, except on pro-
nounced bulges and then on small
quick turn.

BEN FRANKLIN,
A HONEYMOON HOME.

An original-minded speculative 9
Ieer, says the London Graphic, pro-
poses to convert his celebrated coun.
try house into Honeymoon Home.
The grounds which are attached to
the house, and the neighborhood, are
of an especially romantic character,
vast forests of pine surrounding the
estate. The house might be hired for
Cne couple at inclusive terms, or
rlieht be divided so as to accommo-
date six pairs of brides and grooms.
There is stage in the ballroom, so.
where the home is temporarily in.
habited by number of newly mar.
red couples sufficiently rich to in.
dulge in the luxury, a theatrical com
pany might be engaged for a week or
more to entertain them in the even.
ing, A French cook, several excel
lent horses and a variety of carriages
would be at the disposal of the ten
ants, and there is good fishing in a
river which flows through the
grounds.

DEFENDS RIGHTS OF WIFE.
White Man Claims Island Belongs to
His Indian Bride.

Des Moines, Feb. 1.-THE opening
of the island opposite Monona county
in the Missouri river by the govern
ment for settlement has caused a COM
plicated litigation which took q some
what sensational turn yesterday morn
ing when Mr.. Charles Wickersham, a
white man from the Nebraska lnolan
reservation, appeared before Land
Registrar Howard and claimed the is
land belonged to his Indian wife who
had received 1t as her allotment.
Under an order Of the government
the island was opened for settlement
December % and two men took
claims. A contest has been filed with
Registrar Howard by two men who
have been living upon the land and
claim title by long residence and cul-
tivation. But while these contending
parties are hard at work preparing
their cases another phase Of the ques-
tion suddenly arose. A tall, well-buiit
and pleasant looking white man ap-
preached the registrar today and ex-
planned that he wished to file re,
quest that the government withdraw
the property from settlement on the
ground that according to custom CT
the government to allot eighty acres
to every man, woman and child in the
Indian reservation, his wife a copper
colored woman. had been given eighty
acres upon this Island. He lives in
the reservation with his bride and
only recently learned that the prop
erty given her was in peril.

JAPAN COMMANDS THE SEA.
German Naval officers Think That
Port Arthur viii Be Invested.

Berlin. FEB. 11.-Naval men were
doing little else at the admiralty to-
day than talking about the Japanese
Russian engagement and the deduc-
lions to be drawn therefrom. One
conviction was that Japan had &C.
uuired such a superiority that her
command of the sea practically re-
suits. The unwillingness of the Rus
sian fleet at Port Arthur to leave the
protection of the shore batteries en-
ables Japan, in the opinion of the
naval experts here, to conduct her
landing operations unlimited. II
is believed that Port Arthur will be
invested on the land side as quickly
as possible. One of the objects Of the
Japanese in engaging the forts, 1t was
pointed out, was doubtless to draw
the Russian fire and locate the guns
on shore. That the Japanese ships
withdrew was not regarded as indi-
eating losses. .#
A contrast is also made between
the condition Of Japanese and Rus.
sian ships. All the former were dock
ed within six weeks and every bit OF
internal apparatus was in perfect or
der and tuned up for action, while
bDIut VI lHc IhuSoldH fcoSSIo, ~ wac
added, had not been locked for a

Which way did Japan's new crnis-
ers, the Nisshin and Kasuga, go after
leaving Singapore is one of the sub
iects for speculation on the part of
the German officers, the favorite view
being that they sailed westward so
as to lie in the course of the Russian
troopships bound eastward before the
hostilities began.
Although the two new Japanese
cruisers are far from completely
equipped they might be a match for
the Russian armored cruiser Dimitri
Donski and her accompanying tor
pedo,. boats,

lage.
Miss Nelson had for some little time
been a patient at the hospital for the
insane at Cherokee, but had left 1t last
September, her mother procuring her
release.
Early yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Magnus Nelson, sister-in-law, went to
the Nelson home for friendly call.
Hulda answered her rap at the door.
Unsuspicious of the tragedy which
had so recently been enacted within,
Mrs. Nelson asked:
How is your mother?"
II have killed mother" answered
Hulda, simply. ..-.
The young woman's demeano,
showed Mrs. Nelson that all was not
well, and she hurried away to carry
the news to the adjoining houses.
When she returned with q company
of friends their knocks and calls
brought no response.
Investigation disclosed the body Of
Hulda in the cistern. Within tie
house the body Of her mother was
found. She had evidently been asleep
on the floor of the main room when
struck heavy blow with Ratchet,
or some sharp instrument. There
was a cash in the throat and a blow
on the side Of the head had severed
the ear in the middle, and the sharp
edge had penetrated deep into the
skull. The gray hair was matted
with blood and the brains were scat.
tered over the floor.

ing in right condition and secure the
necessary land and new buildings, for
the buildings will have to be arrang.

buildings would have to be remodeled
an administration building added, .

buildings are to be equipped for al
least 200 inebriates and all classes are
to be sent there. including the vicious
and criminal, then the appropriation
should be at least 100000.
