DAILY MARKET REPORT.
Special by Ware & Leland's Private
Wire.

New York, July 26.-ln a most infor-
NAL way we seem to have offended
some good people in the south by the
suggestion that any crop damage might
not come to light readily this year.
It's an old saying that where mans
treasure lies, there his heart is.
Now it's generally known vast
amount of cotton has been sold for
fall delivery. Vast because the crop
promises the best in years. Now it is
impossible to prevent a man from
coloring his news to fit his interest on
the market. We know of 20 exception
to this statement. 1t is contrary to
human nature not to be biased
Therefore if any damage takes place
we won't hear of it first from cotton
men in the south. Now the weekly
report today says boil weevil is orve
in two parishes in Louisiana. Why
hasn't that news come out before?
There is no doubt but that the cop is
doing fabulously we'll. But we cannot
help feeling that some are OVERRIDING
the good crop reports, they are by
comparison with two or three very
bad years. There is the boil weevil
yet to be reckoned with. The whole
month of August vicisitudes have
to be. entered and there is after all
that the question of frost which
would readily mean 750, 900 bales to
one million bales of cotton there is
every indication to meet this short
side.

FROM SOUTHPORT TO SUMTER.
Extension Of the Conway Seashore
Railroad Attracting Attention
in Both Caroiinas

Wilmington, N. c., July 24.-The
Conway Seashore Railroad, running
from Conway to Myrtle Beach, has ap-
piled to the State of South Carolina
for change of charter. In certain
circles this is considered important,
and Developments are expeced at al
early date. The company is a pri-
vate corporation and the principal
owners are local capitalists.
It is understood to be the plan of
the promoters to extend the road to-
Southport on the east and Sumter, S.
c., on the west. A glance at the
map shows that q perfectly straight
line from Conway to Sumter crosses
the Atlantic Coast Line between Cow
ards and Scranton. From Southport
to Sumter is about a hundred and fifty
miles. The proposed line would open
large section which is entirely with
out railroad advantages and which has
been proven to be admirably adapted
to truck growing. 1t is also splen-
did country with its forests in almost
their virgin condition. 1t is also un-
derstood to be the purpose Of the pro-.
moters to settle many colonies of i'm
migrants along the territory covered
by the road. The entire section Of
fers many peculiar advantages which
could quickly be developed by rail-
road

7AGGART The CHOICE
FOR CHAIRMAN.
Chief Interest Centers in Election
of Minor 0mcers---committee
to Visit Parker.

New York, July PA very deter
mined effort was made tonight to
make Senator German chairman of
the Democratic national committee.
After several conferences among Eem-
ocratic leaders former Senator Jones
and VIM. T. Sheehan called on Sena-
tor German at his room and urged
him to reconsider his determination
not to accept the chairmanship. The
Maryland senator remsined firm and
suggested that Mr.. Sbeehau take the
place if it was necessary to have an
eastern man for the position. Mr..
Sheehan stated to Mr.. German and
others to whom the suggestion was
communicated that it was impossible
for him to take the place.
Tie impression prevails among the
strongest supporters of Mr.. Taggart
that Notwithstanding the efforts made
tonight, he will be elected.
The committee will pay its respects
to the Democratic candidate Wednes-
day. Arrangements have been made
by Norman E. Mack, member of the
committee for New York, and Cord
Meyer, chairman of the New York
Democratic State committee for the
national organization to leave New
York at 11.30 a. m., and go direct to
Esopus, where each member will be
presented to Judge Parker. Some
members have never seen their candi-
date.
The members of the committee who
arrived today have confirmed the opin-
ion that Thomas Taggart will BE elect
ed chairman. Both VIM. F. Sheehan
and Norman E. Mack, who know as
much rs anybody Judge Parker's posi-
tion on this matter, say that Iaggart
wills.be chose1. The outlook now is
that Taggart will be the unanimous
choice of the committee.
The settlement of the. Craftsmanship
has made the contest for the minor
positions more prominent. There has
been considerable talk about the selec-
ton OF the secretary. the candidate
being G. a. Walsh of Iowa, the for
mer secretary; Urey Woodson of Ken
lucky and Edwin Seton Of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Members Of the committee tonight
expressed the opinion that Woodson
will be chosen.
It seems to be generally understood
that August Belmont is to be elected
treasurer of the committee.
.sn agreement was practically reach
ed tonight for the formation Of an ex-
ecutive committee of eleven members,
of which Mr.. Taggart will be ex-offi-
clio chairman, and a campaign commit
tee of seven Of which William Z. Shee-
han will be chairman. This arrange
ment meets with favor among those
eastern Democrats who wanted Sena-
tor German for chairman of the COM
mittee.

to demonstrate how overwhelmingly
sound its members were in support of
the gold standard; and its result
cannot. l gratefully believe, be other
wise construed than as indicating the
elimination of financial error as a dis
turbing influence in Democratic coun-
ellis.
The national Democracy enters upon
the campaign, not in gloom and fear,
but in hope and confidence.
l believe that no man ever did so
much for the cause, and in SO many
directions in so short time and in
so compact form, as was done by our
candidate when he sent his message to
the st. Louis Convention. He has
reminded all who profess Democratic
principles that they also have work to
do if they, like him, would do the pa
triotic political duty the time de-
mands.
Let the Democratic lines be steadied
at every point and let our splendid
leadership be followed with genuine
Democratic zeal and stubbornness.

British ship-0wners Up in Arms
Over the Dangers to which
Their Shipping is Now
Subjected.
The British Government is Taking Ener.
getic Action to Obtain Redress
traE Ships Must not be Destroy
ed

London, July 26.-The British Gov
eminent is taking energetic action in
the case of the sinking of the British
steamer knight Commander by the
VIadivostok squadron. Information re-
ceived by the Government tends to es-
tablish in the official mind belief that
an outrage has been committed for
which no excuse exists in internation-
al law. Those aware of the feelings
of the ministry said tonight that all
the members of the Cabinet are in
accord regarding the principle of the
inviolability of innocent neutral ship
ping, as we'll as upon the principle
that neutral ship cannot be destroyed,
even if carrying contraband of war.
The demands which will be made
upon the Russian Government will
include compensation to the owners
of the ship and to the owners Of the
goods on board the knight Command
er, an apology for the action of the
Russian cruisers, and an agreement
that instructions be given which will
prevent repetition of such action.
British ship owners are up in arms
over the dangers which shipping is
now running, and are bombarding the
Government with representations look
ing to the thorough protection of their
interests.

The Minor Store received a solid
carload of shoes Monday and the
line of wagons that was required to
haul them up from the depot attracted
a great deal of attention as it passed
through the streets.
The handsome residence on the cor
ner of Main and Caldwell streets, now
occupied by the Elks club has been
sold by the R. P. Monaghan estate to
the Elks, the consideration being
1000. The house was erected by
the late f. p. Monaghan about
twelve years ago and is said to have
cost about Sl4, 900. The Elks are

Billy Floyd, white man p years
old, whose home is in Darlington, was
last week sentenced by Recorder Hurst
to the chain gang for thirty days for
vagrancy. He associates entirely with
negroes and has been supported by
some of his associates, who seem to
think his company sufficient compensa-
tion for his board. He seems to be a
thorough degenerate without pride Of
race or ambition to better his condi-
tion. He has been loa6ng around this,

gets to work on the chain gang he will
perform the first Gay labor since his
arrival.

TEXTILE STRIKE IS ON.

q Fall River, Mass, July M.-With
hope of a peaceful settlement aban-
doned, both sides in the pending IN

ged determination the coming OF to-
morrow and the first test of strength
betweeen little group of manufsctur.

other.
The mill gates will be opened at

porunity 60 go to work under a wage
reduction of 1879 per cent Ii an IN
sufficient number respond, the mills
will be closed for an INDEFINITE
period. The strike leaders were OF
opinion tonight that there would not
be enough operatives applying foi
work througnout the entire city to
run even one mill, to say nothing OF
the. so or more that are affected by the
syike order. The manufacturers claim
that the 2,o0O union men who voted to
strike do not represent the great body
of the cotton mill employees. They
give the total number Of operatives
on their pay roll as 23, $50. This OF
course does not include the employees
at the independent mills OF Y. u.
Borden, which are ssnot involved.
The talk on the streets, however,
indicates that the feeling against the
manufacturers is quite bitter yamong
fha non-union operatives as is is among
those who are affiliated with the labor
organizations.

KUROPATKIN EXPLAINS HIS
RETREAT.

st. Petersburg, July 27.-2.C5 a. m.
Gen. Kuropatkin's telegram record
ing the withdrawal of the Southern
army from Ia Tche Kiao to Hal
Cheng, in a special supplement of the
Official Messenger. fails to give de-
tails of the continuous rear guard ac
tion preceding the retreat, but the
war Office thinks the losses were sew
eral hundred, which would indicate
pretty severe fighting.
The preceding determined attack on
Tantchi, ten miles southeast of Ia
Tche Kiao, probably rendered the
evacuation of The latter place impera-
tive. In anticipation of retirement
from Ia Tche Kiao orders were sent
July 25 to the Russian garrison at Yin
Kow to withdraw.
Although military men do not seem
to be alarmed at the situation, point
ing out that tho withdrawal of the
Southern army from Ia Tche Kiao
tends to concentrate Kropatkin's
forces, thus giving him a smaller
front to defend, considerable nervous
ness is manifested here by those not
in the secrets of the Russian COM
mander-in-chief, especially as Gen.
Kurcpatkin points out the danger
threatening his line of communica-
tions to the north, owing to the devel-
opment of the japanese advance from
Samatsze toward Mukden.
Gen. Kuropatkin's dispatch, after
describing the preliminary operations,
including the capture of Phkan Pass
by the japanese after severe fight,
says of the operations about Ia Tche
Kiao:
'On July "a the enemy resumed &C
tivity on the south front and fight
began on the left flank, with fusjl-
lade from the outposts, near Tantchi.
For the next twelve hours the enemy
maintained a heavy and uninterrupted
artillery FIRE. This artillery duel went
in our favor, the Japanese batteries
operating against the villages of
Tiautziatung and Sautzatsze being re-
duced to silence by 4 p. m.
Simultaneously with the ARTILLERY
cannonade the enemy made vigorous
attack in the direction of Dafsng
cheng, with the object of breaking up
the centre of our position. Our troops
repelled all attacks and we retained
all our positions. The battle ended at
80 in the evening.
"Details of the fighting and of the
extent of our losses are not yet availa
ble
"The commander of our troops, who
had sustained the enemy's attacks for
two days and repelled them all, after
giving his men some rest, began to
retire to the north, without being
molested by the enemy

the effectiveness OF his first utterance.
It filed the blank in disabled plat

thousands and tens of thousands to the
Democratic standard. 10 these must be
added another wonderful accom-
plishment to which this utterance gave
opportunity. When in respose to the

surance that the sentiments Of the

A Marvel of Wood Carving.

One of the greatest works of Henry vorbruggen is the carved wood pulpit of the grand parochial church at Brus- sels. The whole design is an allegor- ical scene. At the base are Adam and Eve, life-slze, being expelled by the angel, while grim Death himself may be seen lowering in the rear. The first pair bear upon their shoulders a hOl- low globe, the cavity being the place where the preacher stands while deliv- ering his sermons. Fron the globe rises tree sustaining a canopy, which in turn supports two figures one of an angel and the other female representing Truth. Above all this are the Virgin and the infant Jesus crush. ing the serpent's head with cross.

 Thereupon her mother led her to her bedroom, washed out her mouth with soap and water, then touched 1t with Quinine.
 Tt is very bitter. my daughter" said the troubled parent, "but the taste of those bad words you have spoken is far worse."
 On the following day the kitten again displeased Christine, and she muttered something inaudible.
 "Christinew said her mother, warn. ingly.
 q didn't say 1t, mamma" declared the culprit. "No. I kept the words shut up tight; but it's the very same kind of little kitten 1t was yesterday"
