DOWN INTO SKIES
COTTON DROPPED
LOWEST IN THREE YEARS
Is PRICE THE GREAT. SOUTHERN
STAPLE NOW COMMANDS.

Census bureaus Ginners' Report
Responsible for the slump, Which
Carried the Price Down 30 to 30
Points-There Was Heavy Trading
on the Decline--CrOp of Nearly
13,OOO,O 900 Bales Is Said to Be In
dfcated-Active Mt the Close.
New York, Dec. 2S.-The cotton mar
ket broke 80 to 35 points on the census
bureaus ginners' report indicating a
crop in excess of the governments es-
innate. There was very heavy trading
on the decline.
The bears contended that the ginners'
report probably forecast crop of near
" 13, ,000,0 900 bales.
Following the report, prices, which
had shown weakness since the opening,
broke sharply, with January selling
around 6.66c. March 6.S1c. and May
6.96c, or a net decline of 22@25 points
and a break of practically Sc a bale
in two weeks time. The market was
very active during the afternoon, with
big short interests covering, while
there was also heavy liquidation, and
on every little bulge the bears seemed
disposed to withdraw their buying or
ders and sell more cotton.
The low figures reached in the slump
are the lowest that cotton has reached
In nearly three years.

RUSSIAN LEADERS
KILLED OR INJURED.
hondrachenkO Reported KILLED and
StoesseI Injured,


Ioklo' Dec. 2S-1O:SO a. m.-Trust-
worthy advices from Port Arthur con-
hrm the report that Gen. Kondrachen-
Ko has been killed and that Gen. Stoes-
sci has been injured by falling from
mis- horse. Gen. Smilnoff is also re-
ported wounded.
Inc adVices further say that the
stern of the battleship Sevastopol has
sunk in shallow water. Her bow is
damaged in two places and the steer
ing room gear is also damaged.
The garrison is reported to be con-
hrmed in the belief that relief will ar
rive before March 1. Despite its heavy
losses Nov. 26, and subsequently the
garrison is said to be cheerful and
resolved to continue the struggle as
long as a single soldier remains.
The army claims to have sufficient
provisions to last until February. The
navy possesses about one months
stores.
Inc price of food in the beleaguered
fortress is high. Beef is a rouble and
one-half per pound; horse meat, 6 CO.
pecks per pound; dog meat, 25 copecks
per pound; turkeys, $50 roubles a piece;
eggs, 16O roubles per 100. But few junks
bearing supplies reached the garrison

1t is expected that the capture of the
nights of Pigeon bay will further cur
tail the landing of supplies.

BRITISH STEAMER
IS STILL POUNDING.
Ala May BE Given the Tramp
DrumeIzier To-day.

@"S oO 0ANen the tramp
DrumeIzier To-day.
New York, Dec. 2S.-Still pounding
on the bar off Oak Island, where she
struck on Christmas morning, there is
practically no change in the condition
of the steamer Drumelzier. Tonight
word was sent to the Sandy Hook life
saving station to get ready to start
Tor the wreck at daylight. Capt. Pat
terson will have charge of this crew of
eight men, the hardest life savers
along the coast. The longest life boat
at the Hook was made ready at once
and early in the morning will be taken
IN tow by powerful tug to where the
British tramp lies stranded
The Drumelzier lies about three
quarters of a mile off the extreme end
OF Fire Island beach. She is almost
IN the channel leading from the ocean
into Great South bay. All communica-
ton between Oak Island and the main
land is cut off by the ice that fills this
bay with drifting foes, driven hither
and thither with the winds. and in
some places piled in huge hummocks.
The position of the steamer is one
of great peril. She is lying bow-on
toward the shore with her stern rest
ing on the bar, showing about two feet
above her normal draft. AS she lies,
the seas are breaking over her port
side but the westerly gale which came
up tonight showed a tendency to beat
down the high running surf
AT o'clock tonight the wrecking
steamer Merritt was anchored about
mile from the stranded steamer. and
the Merritt's surf boat could be seen
lying alongside the Drumelzier. Wheth-
er she had taken off any of the steam
er's crew or whether she was standing
by as a precaution in case the vessel
went to pieces, could not be deter
mined from the shore.
During the day the steamer hoisted
no signals of distress. nor did she even
use her whistle, although smoke and
steam from her tunnels indicated that
the fires were still going.

STEAMER is ASHORE
OFF CAPE HATTERAS.
Life Savers Watching for "A Chance
TO Take on the Crew.


Norfolk, Va. Dec. 2S.-Battered by
heavy seas that have been dashed to
Curry by the 40-mile gale, an unknown
steamer lies helpless on the inner Dia-
mond shoals, eight miles off Cape Hat
teras, tonight, and faint lights seen
now and then carry a message to the
life saving corps on shore that there
are human lives aboafd the wrecked
craft that cannot be s&ved until wind
and sea have calmed Sufficiently to al
low the surf boats to be launched.
The observer of thd United States
weather bureau at Hattie first saw
the steamer when the log lifted short
ly before noon to-dayt At that time
she appeared to be in distress and later
1t was seen that she had grounded on
the inner shoal known9 to mariners as
Hen Hole in the graveyard of ship
ping. The heavy seas careened the
vessel on her beam and at o'clock
TINS afternoon she was lying on her
port side. with seas washing all over
her.
The smoke that her funnel emitted
earlier in the day was no longer dis
cernible, and it was then supposed that
her fires had been extinguished by
water filing the hull.
The steamer has three masts and
one funnel. Her engines and boilers
are aft and the funnel is between the
mainmast and mizzenmast. From her
description it is thought she may be
one of the fruit liners that ply be-
tween West Indian ports and Balti-
more or New York
At 8 o'clock tonight the observer
at Hatteras reported that the life saw
ing crews of several stations along
the Carolina coast in the vicinity of
Hatteras were ready on the beach to
launch their surf boats the minute the
wind and tide had abated sufficiently
to allow them to. At that time the
wind had dropped from forty to thir-
ty-six miles an hour.
The report states that at sunset
the vessel had apparently righted
herself somewhat and that If the wind
and sea did not increase there was
good chance of her remaining intact
until morning. If this is the case, the
life savers will be able to reach her.

WANT NO BAD BONDS
DECLARED TO BE GOOD.
Southern Senator's BaIIS over Such
Prospect.

Prospect.
Washington. Dec. 2s.-The Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations has
not yet taken up the several arbitra-
tion treaties negotiated last fall and
sent to the Senate at the before-hol-
iday session. 1t is expected that a
meeting of the committee will be held
next week, when tehse treaties will he
considered and favorably reported.
Several Southern senators who have
been examining them have raised the
question as to whether under them
the bonds of Southern states, issued
during the reconstruction period,
could be arbitrated and declared valid.
They have given notice that il the
treaties provide for the adjudication
of such bonds they will oppose them
unless an amendment is inserted which
in express terms will declare that
bonds of a state shall not be arbi-
trated. There are many million dol
lars of these bonds which, II is claim
ed, were fraudulently issued and for
which the states received no benefit,
and their payment was refused.
Other senators, who have looked in
to the question, say that they believe
the arbitration treaties cannot be con-
strued to cover these state bonds.

JAPANESE STRENGTHEN
THEIR COMMUNICATIONS.

Huan Shan, Dec 2S.-Everything
continues quiet along the front of the
hostile armies. There is little expecta-
ton of a decisive movement till spring,
when it will be possible for both sides
to throw in strong reinforcements and
recommence the campaign in earnest.
In the meantime the chief Japanese
uneasiness seems to be with regard to
their communications eastward. They
nave an unusually full equipment of
narrow gauge field railways, one of
which connects Gen. Kuroki's base at
Shahedzin with Feng Wang Cheng.
with a branch to Saimatsza. A sup
Elementary line is being constructed
connecting Lao Yang with Hal Cheng.
There is an important line of ware
houses along the Yalu river, and many
bridges have recently been construct
ed with a care unusual in field opera
tions. This elaborate system has been
seriously threatened by Gen. Rem
nenkampff's raids southeastward.
There are many evidences that the
Japanese are strengthening and forti-
tying their line of communication to-
ward Korea, which necessarily will
absorb a considerable force.

be more than offset in many places
by the effect of the government note
of warning to the Zemstvos.
Pricate reports from Moscow espe-
cially indicate that much excitement
prevails there, and the gravest fears
are expressed that the ancient capital
of Russia may be the scene of bloody
excesses. A banquet arranged to take
place there last night on the anniver-
sary of the Troubetzskoi revolution
was stopped by order of the police.
and the Moscow Zemstvo adjourned
sine die as a protest against the gov
ernment note and the return of Duke
Sergius. the governor general Of Mos
COW. The Grand Duke is held to be
responsible for the note which may
signal a renewal of the terrorism.
The Pskoff Zemstvo has also followed
the lead of those of Cheringoff and
Moscow, and it is not unlikely that
others will follow their example. Alto
gether the moment is considered crit
ical. although the feeling in st. Peters
burg is quieter
In the meantime NJ. Witte, president
of the Committee of Ministers. is act
ing with energy in preparing 10 or
ganize the various commissions under
the Committee of Ministers to formu-
late the laws projected by the mani
festo. The destinies of Russia In the
immediate future seem TO be in his
hands.
