confined to German goods alone, and

The Cotton Market.

New York, Jan. 30.-Sensational adj
vances in cotton in Liverpool caused a
whirl of excitement when the cotton
market opened here. Advances at the
start ranged from AZ to 81 points, the
last named figure in the June option.
Seventeen cent cotton was almost reach.
ed and the bull prediction that the staple
will go to IS cents a pound seems likely
to be realized. The bull leader who had
brokers' in the pit last night buying July
option at 16b, found himself failing a
profit of wei SO a bale this morning.
The bears were panic stricken and help
ed the advance by buying all the cotton
they could to cover shorts lines. Better
news from the far East was largely re-
sponsible for the sensational advance.

The Eastern Trouble.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 9O.-In face OF
the reports that Russia's reply to JaPan's
latest note is coDciliatOry, and that var
between those countries will be averted,
the Noyoe Vremya today prints a list OF
% reserve regiments which have been
ordered to be increased by one battalion.
Similar orders, the paper says, are ex-
pected to be issued to all reserve regi-
ments.
The st. Petersburg Novoe Vremya
says it is impossible for Russia to enter
into any understanding with Japan re-
garding Manchuria, but regarding Ko-
rea, Russia is willing to give Japan full
rights south of the 99th parallel if Rus
STA is permitted to control all north.
Japan must, however, agree not to forth
fly any part of Korea. This is the max
imum of Russia's concessions to Japan.
Liverpool, Jan. 30.-Tbe Post learns
that the European powers had prepared
a joint note urging Japan to moderate
her demands on Russia, but that the
scheme collapsed because England re-
fused to sign the document.
London. Jan. 30.-Despite the belli-
cose news in the English newspapers re-
garding the situation in the far East,
there is a growing feeling in official cir

that persons who are in a position of
knowing what is going on between Rus
STA and Japan, would be greatly sur
prised should war now be declared.
Baron Hayashi, Japanese Minister to
| England, when seen today said that he
had not received any new regarding
Russia's note.
Springfield, Mass, Jan. 30.-Captain
Bianchi of the Russian army on leave of
absence, stopped in this city last night.
He said: "Russia is not yet ready for
war, but Russia knows that war is inevi-
table. She cannot tolerate the further
advancement of japanese influence,
which has already threatened her posi-
ton in China. If Japan is allowed to
continue, the japanese will in a few
years be able to train the great armies
of China into effective fighting regiments,
and to block Russian progress. 1t is
probably considered by English speaking
people that it is to their advantage to see
the japanese succeed, for the English
speaking people can indirectly control
the japanese. The Russian plan is far
seeing and well defined. 1t is not, as in
this country, where the plans of the
father are forgotten by the son. For
200 years Russia has been strengthening
her position on the Pacific and she in
tends TO be the great power in the East.
This means war, for the japanese are
also striving for supremacy. Itisaques-
ton of time. 1t may come soon, but
Russia would prefer to wait until she is
prepared"

Washington, Jan. 80.

dSuingtOu, Jdus oVs
The Secret Service detectives who
guard President Roosevelt whenever he
leaves the White House, have been in
hard luck since the social season and the
cold weather have been on simultaneously
in Washington. The members of the
Cabinet and the Senators who have dined
the President have with one exception
forgotten to make any provision for the
guards and as a result they have been
obliged to stand for hours hungry and
cold outside of the otherwise h%ospitable
mausion. The single thoughtful excep-
ton of the rule was Secretary Moody.
When he gave a dinner to the President
at the Willard last week be provided a
generous spread for the detectives. The
operatives stood for nearly four hours out
in front of Senator Ayers house the
other night, and by the time the affair
was over, they were SO stiff with cold
that they could hardly walk. They are
not complaining, but feel that if the
Presidents hosts would invite them in-
side where they could keep warm they
would be in better shape to putHpa Eight,
If such should be necessary for the Pres
ident's protection.

SATURDAY EVENING, JAN. 80. 1901

To-Day marks the ending of the
County Court system, which has been
in vogue 10 Virginia for many years,
and is the last County Court day which
the people Of this generation will prob.
ABLY see. 1t was an old institution
which exertel its influence long before
the revolutionary war, when gentlemen
justices and the people were loyal to
their sovereign. the King Of England,
and with some changes to suit changed
conditions had been handed down IRON
generation to generation. After the
close of the civil war and when Virginia
was again admitted into the union, the
old Magistrates Court was succeeded by
the present County Court system. which
has prevailed for over a third OF a en-
tury and which ends today under a pro-
vision of the new constitution. Through
out the State the monthly "court day
was the day for a gathering Of all the
farmers and business men Of the count
at the county seat, not so muchto attend
court as to transact private business,
discuss politics and to have a day OF
relaxation from work. For years and
wears they have been a part OF llfe''
round in the counties, and the absence
OF court days will be greatly missed.
The terms of the Circuit Courts will be
quarterly and not monthly like the old
County Courts.
