became power not only in county and
state. but national politics, serving as
chairman of the Republican national
committee. and also representing the
state in the Republican national COM
mittee for more than ten years.
While holding the position of post
master Mr.. Payne became interested
in various large corporate interests. He
had become heavy stockholder of the
Wisconsin Telephone Company and be-
came its president. He branched out
and while still interested in the tele-
phone company went into the street
railway line. Early in the '90s he con-
ceived the idea of consolidating the To-
cal street car lines. There were four of
them. all operated by horse and mule
power and giving inferior service.
With the aid of Mitchell he succeeded
in interesting eastern capital. and the
Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light
Company was organized and got con-
troll of the four car lines and the two
lighting plants.
The car line were changed to cleo
trio systems and he became vice presi-
dent OF the company and resident di-
rector. The service became first-class,
but the price paid for the lines had been
too great and the line went into the
hands of a receiver, to which position
Payne was appointed. 1t has since
been reorganized. with capital of
some $16,000,000. and is now on a pay
ing basis.
In 1893 Mr.. Payne was elected presi
dent OF the American Street Railway
Association. He was president of the
Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light
Company. director of the Wisconsin
Telephone Company.
Mr.. Payne was selected for postmas-
ter general by President Mckinley in
the summer of 1901 and assumed the
Office January s, 1902. under appoint
ment from President Roosevelt. During
his administration the posto,uce frauds.

Increase in English immigration.

Washington, Oct. 4.-In spite of the
ocean rate war during the last few
weeks Of the fiscal year ending June
30th there was a decrease in immigra-
tion in 1904 of 44,176 over the previous

The commissioner general of immi-
grafton. Mr.. Sargent, points out that
while there has been a decrease in i'm
migrants from other countries, those
coming from England rose in number
from 26.219 in 1903 to 3S.626 in 1904.
This Is regarded as showing a trend
Of a better element of immigrants COM
ing to this country.
The total Of all immigrants for the
last year was S12.S70, against S57,046
for 1903.
The country sending the greatest
number Of immigrants was Italy for
both years; that country. including ST.
cily and Sardinia, contributing 230, ,622
in 1903, and 1926 in 1904, a decrease
this year Of 1896. Austria-Hungary
followed Italy closely with 206.011 for
1903 and 177.156 for 1904.
The total immigration from Europe
in 1903 was S14.507. against 767.933 in
1904. decrease of 46.574. Asia in 1908

duties that then evolved upon him,
supplementing as they did the strain
of the postal investigation, sapped his
vitality and led to his final breakdown.
Henry c.. Payne came from old Puri-
tan stock, and his ancestors date back
to the early colonial days. He was
born in the town of Ashfield, Franklin
1843.
His boyhood was spent in the village
of Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts,
where he received a common school
education and later an academic edu-
cation.
He had large experience in the dry
goods business and later in the insur-
ance business before he was appointed
postmaster Of Milwaukee by General
Grant in 1876. Both Hayes and Ar

Cause Of Death Uncertain.

Denver, Oct "A dispatch from
Akron, Colorado, last night, gives the
coroner's jury verdict as follows: I'VE,
the jury. sitting upon the body of
George |. Tuttle, do say upon our
oaths that death was caused by a
wound or injury on the left temple.
whether inflicted by blow from some
blunt instrument in the hands of some
person or persons unknown, or
whether said wound or injury was
caused by a fall, or in some other &c.
cidental way, this jury is unable to
determine"
Such was the verdict of the coro-
ners jury in the now famous Tuttle
mystery. The jury retired at 4 o'clock
in the afternoon and after celebrating
over two hours arrived at the verdict
above. There was no dissenting juror.
Foreman Henry w. Beiser, who pre-
pared the form Of the verdict, said
that not n man on the jury believed
that the testimony pointed to foul play.

THE apathy OF the voters OF. the
state for the last few years shows
them to be equally disgusted with the
tyrannical abuse Of power by the Re-
publican machine and the hypocrisy
and ballot-box stufiing Of the Demo

"I believe that the state Demo-
cratic machine Is absolutely under the
control Of the corporations as the Re
publican, and that no aggressive ac-
tion or recommendations for relief
from existing conditions can be ex-
pected from the Democratic nominee
for governor. Should he be elected a

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 12.-The stock mar
ket developed some activity today and
rather positive tone of weakness. The
weakness wss largely sympathetic with
the pressure upon individual stocks, es-
pccally Metropolitan Street Railway and
Metropolitan Securities. The liquidation
in these two stocks gave signs OF urgency
and cost the former 4 3-8 fpoints and the
atter s points. The selling was thought
likely to be due to a settlement OF one
or two large estates largely Interested
in the property. Pennsylvania also was
freely pressed for sale and broke through
the support which has been in evidence
above 112. The price touched Ill IL,
which is only "a above the low point.
Tho selling of Delaware and Hudson was
supposed to be to provide funds for sub
scription to the new stock offered. The
market hardened on short covering ~
srite OF the continued weakness OF the
two Metropolitan stocks and the closing
was firm. United States Steel was 'rath-
err conspicuous in the recovery. The
decrease in loans shown by the bank
statement was contrary to expectations.
The bank statement was of little infiu-
ence. however. as the present condition
of the money market gives little occasion
for sohcitude. The steadiness of North

sive influence on traders who sold stocks

New Orleans, March 12.-Spot cotton
active, firm and higher; futures opened
quiet and from points higher to one
point lower Soon after the opening the
market developed considerable strength
and prices began to move up though there
were occasional slight fluctuations. In
the trading May first gained six points at
16.41, declined to 1886, and finally declin-
ed advanced to 1863 There were SINH
lar changes in July. The market closed
at practically the highest prices of the
week. May and uly showed net gain for
the week of SO and SO points, and of q
and 90 points for the day. There was
little doing in the other positions. The
course of prices for the day was a de-
cided surprise to both sides. Liverpool
was disappointing, but the visible supply
figures we're bullish enough to give unex-
pected strength and caused prices to stand
up against rather free weekend huida-
ton Sy proft-taking longs. The market
closed firm Net gains were March to

months to II points.

Ware H. LeIand'S
Cotton letter

Raleigh, N c., March 12.-There is very
little use of figures as rule for sDecu-
lators and yet figures in the end indicate
supply and demand and this ratio makes
prices. At the present time figures on
the supply of cotton are the most bullish
we have ever seen. There is no getting
around the fact that unless relief comes
from some quarter, there will be a
scramble for the last of the crop. The Wis
ible supply of American cotton is 100000
bales less than last year 900 bales less
than two years ago, and 100000 bales less
than three years ago. From now on there
will be less cotton coming in than during
either OF the past two seasons This means
the visible supply at the end of the sea-
son will be difficult to discover with the
naked eye. What will be the result? Liv-
erpool is 100000 bales less than last year
and has got to have a pile of cotton be-
tore the next crop Under these circum-
stances one can look for a runaway mar
ket at any time and we can see nothing
but a good trade in the end We would
continue on the side of higher prices. The
market Tor cotton futures closed firm.
