WOULD NOT SPECULATE.
Prices Are Fairly Well Maintained on
London Exchange.

London, September 1S.-Apart from the
American market in which business was
active, stock exchange operators last
week were engaged with the settlement
and showed little disposition to speculate,
although prices were fairly well MAIN
tanned owing to the continued cheapness
of money Among the foreign stocks, the
feature of the week was the firmness in
South Americans, due to the death of
the Uruguyan revolutionary leader, Cen
eral Saraiva, and the depression in jap
anese securities owing to the fear of a
prolongation of the war in the far east.
Japanese securities, however, were In
better condition at the close of the week.
A large business was transacted In
Americans than for a long time past on
the belief that money will remain album
dant both in New York and London. The
signs of recovery of trade in the United
States, and the favorable reports that are
being published by American and Cana
dian railroads. especially by the grand
trunk aided in this improvement.

Entitled TO Thanks.

From the Richmond News-Leader.
The grand jury at Huntsville. Ala, Is
entitled to the thanks of the people of
the whole country and of the people of
the south especially. It's action in in
dieting persons guilty of a recent lynch
ing in that city including several of "our
best citizens" is evidence that courage
and respect for law remain in the south
and can assert themselves on occasion.
The press dispatches say that tremendous
excitement followed the action of the
grand jury and that force of militia
has been sent to the scene. We do not
understand what this means unless it Is
that the mob element proposes to attack
the members who have done their duty.
If this be true, the results will be awaited
with most intense interest, because a d.
rect issue will be made between the
forces of law, decency and conservatism
and the forces of murder, rowdyism and
violence.

Must Uphold the Law.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
The authorities in Alabama are doing
all in their power to bring to punishment
the men who were guilty of burning the
Jail and mobbing to death a negro in
Huntsville a few days ago. A few ex-
amples would do a world of good In
this state, and it is to be hoped that
the guilty will be found out and punish
ed. There was nothing for Governor Cum
ningham to do but to send the troops to
made to him and the people at large will
endorse the conduct of Judge Speake in
so using the troops as to prevent any
possibility of attempt at rescue of pris-
oners. The law must be upheld at all
hazards

CLOTH MARKET HARDENING.
Output for Next Six Months Has Gen.
orally Been Disposed OF.

Manchester, September 1s.-The cloth
market had tendency toward hardening
as the makers increased their engage
ments and fair turnover in most de-
scriptions resulted last week. The China
trade was more quiet. especially in the
gray staples. The output for the next
six months has been generally disposed
of. There was some transactions for
Japan where delivery was not too pro-
tected. There was healthy demand from
India High grade finishing cloths were
in good demand. and most makers OF
them are in a strong position. There
was rather more buying by South Amer
lea.
Yarns were in fair demand and a sat
isfactory trade reported in some direc-
tions. Certain grades of American crops
were rather scarce.

HUNTSVILLE AFFAIR,
Captain Browns Mistake.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
Captain Brown Of the company now on
duty in Huntsville addressed a street
crowd there yesterday as follows:
Gentlemen, 1 hope you will dispense
and go to your homes, where all good
citizens should be at this time. We cam
not receive visitors and don't want
crowds in the streets. We are here for
business. This line here Indicating the
picket line), is dead line and you must
not attempt to cross it for any purpose.
/ will not hesitate to shoot if there is any
attempt made to break the guard lines
and rush upon the jail"
That was well said and demonstrates
that Captain Brown has a capacity or tai
ent for impromtu speechmaking. The
Times has, however a fault to find with the
exordium of the captains remarks. In
stead of saying gentlemen. hope you
will disperse." ETC., Captain Brown should
have Illuminated: Men, 1 command you
in the name of the law, whose majesty
you are violating" AT the very moment
the young Birmingham officer stood be-
fore the Huntsville street throng, gath
cred in evident unlawful purpose, and
contempt of the authority expressed in
the assembled military, Captain Brown
had centered in him the power of the
monarch. All of the might and majesty
of a great commonwealth was focused
in the will and volition of single epaul-
cited officer to whom Governor Cunning
ham as commander and chief of the state
guard had delegated supreme command.
Vested in such a prerogative and piano.
piled in means to sustain his power it was
not occasion to Captain Brown to say
gentlemen, I hope 1t was, however, a
trivial mistake to employ a conventional
term instead of adopting a stern COM

People Humiliated.

From the Huntsville Journal.
The little city of Huntsville is one of
the centers of culture and education in
the south and 1t is unfortunate that she
Is made to suffer for the violence of a
few of her rough citizens. The presence
of soldiers in the court room to see that
the court is protected and that the
states prisoners are not rescued is hui
initiating to proud people, but it is just
such an incident that may occur at any
time in any city in Alabama so long as
the people are tempted to take the law
in their own bonds.

mand. Smooth and gentle as were Cap
tain Browns words The Times doubts
not if his expressed hope had not been
promptly realized there would be story
to read from Huntsville today that would
appeal in the light of tragic sequel to
the mournful narrative already traced
there in blood and crime.

CAUSES MUCH EXCITEMENT

Selma, September 1S.-(Speeial) -Consid
cradle excitement was occasioned in Sell
ma at about $3.50 o'clock tonight by a
fire in the old council chamber on Wash
ington street which did about $500 or 500
damage.
The fire originated in the room of the
turnkey and nothing is known about how
1t started. The turnkey was sitting at
the foot of the steps and heard the cry
OF fire and upon investigation found that
his own room was in flames.
The jail Is located at the rear of the
building and 1t was thought for time
that the prisoners would have to be
moved out but this was found not to be
necessary The headquarters of the prin
cipal hose company In the city is located
under the building and they had little
difficulty in extlnguishing the fire and
combining it largely to the turkeys room
although considerable damage was done
by smoke and water
The old council chamber has been an
eyesore in Selma for number of years
and arrangements had been made to sell
the building next Wednesday at which
time the city officials contemplate NOV
ing into their quarters in the new city
hall which has just been completed

greatest drawbacks to state militia If
no company was called out on duty in

very much more satisfactory.

The Soldier Lie

From the Huntsville Tribune.
The falsehood which prevailed on the
streets this noon that body of United
States soldiers were ordered here to pro-

telligence of the people and a scene to
excite prejudice which would rebound to
the benefit Of those charged with crime.

intention of sending United States sol
