He and Three Partners try to With
 draw Objections to Creditors
 New York, Nov. 2.-Daniel J. Sul- ly and three of his partners in the firm of D. J. Sully and Company. made a sudden change in their atti- tude towards their New York Cotton Exchange creditors today in the benk- ruptcy hearing before Referee Mac Crane Coxe
 When the bankruptcy proceedings were originally instituted, Suliy and his four partners filed through their counsel written objections to the claims of all their cotton exchange creditors on the ground. that in act ing agents for them, the price in the selling of cotton had been wrongful ly fixed. Today through their coun- sel. Daniel J. Sully, Edwin F. Half ted the referee to withdraw their ob- jections against these claims
 Lawyer Henry F. King. who was heard for Samuel F. R. Morse, the fourth member of the firm, vigorously opposed the withdrawal of the objec- tions.
 Counsel for the creditors requested immediate ruling by the referee and declared 1t unfair for one partner to object when the others agreed, there by holding up S2sOOO0O fin claims. He also said that this agreement meant an early settlement for all cot ton exchange creditdrs and that 1t was only just that they Ahould be speedily | reimbursed.

DEWEY AS COMMISSIONER.
American Admiral May be Requested
 Ny Englnnd to Serve.


 St. Petersburg. Nov. 2.-The Asso- ciated Press can authoratively an- nounce that the basis for the British Russian agreement to submit the North Sea incident to commission ensures an amicable settlement Wlth- out a sequence. The understanding is complete.
 In the heat of the excitement fol- lowing the incident. many false impress sions obtained credence abroad. Now that the smoke has cleared away it Is possible to state that Great Britain dis- claims any intention of trying to detain the Russian squadron. which could only he interpreted as A hostile act. It was never tntimated to Russia that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's recall would he demanded and Great Britain never asked Russia to pledge herself to the punishment of anyone. The British Government fully realizes that ofbcers of the Russian squadron may have acted with excess of zeal.
 The whole affair was deplorable ,oistake. but as a result of the inquiry which will establish the facts each government is expected to take appro- nr,ate action without demands from either side~and no pledges have been requested or given by either country. Sc far as future complications are con- cerned. the lhcident Is regarded as closed, although there has been a slight hitch in the usso-Anglo negotiations regarding matters relating to the inter- national commission. which has neces- sitsf>6 tha'r tranhfaN herA- Taaak thAu

rying all os the district except two. Marshall and Winston. and they have a good fighting chance in those two counties. Marshall County. since the rise of the Popuiist movement. has not been carried by the Democrats ex- cept when John A. Lusk was elected to the legislature two years ago Etowah was for several years under Populist domination but 1t has been redeemed and e safe majority Is as- sured. DeKalb Is normally Demo- cratic by 200 majority.
 Democrats Sure of Cherokee.
 In Cherokee the Democrats have made the greatest inroads into the strength of the Populists. The coun- ty has been Populistic but this year the Democrats claim that they will get 1t by a wide margin.
 Congressman Burnett is winding up his fight with a hurricane finish. In the closing two weeks practically every stump has been or will be or namented by a speaker. There is hardly hill in these North Alabama counties but what has reverberated with Democratic eloquence. Some of the leading and most eloquent speak CTS of the party in Alabama have volunteered their services.
 The star orator is undoubtedly Sem ator Edmund w. Pettus. whose effec- tive campaign utterances in 1904 does not indicate that in 1854. fifty years ago he was judge on an Alabama circuit. Other prominent Alabamians who will speak during the closing days of the Seventh District are Gov ernor Russei M. Cunningham. Auditor Thomas L. sowell Ex-Governor Jos eph F. Johnston. Adjutant General nrarAnn Copnrnauuan IT n Clayton and J. H. Wallace. This force of orators has been so divided and so directed as to get the best re- suits.
 Judicial Ticket Safe.
 In middle Alabama there is an inn- precision that the judicial ticket in the Ninth Circuit Is in danger. This inn pression is erroneous. There is no danger. After the primary troubles, after the overthrow of the Lusk act and the consequent confusion. order and unity have been restored. Wallace W. Haralson will be elected Judge and Richard A. Hunt Solicitor both by a handsome majority. The Demo- crats are absolutely confident of this.
 MT. Haralson is being opposed by B. F. Nicholson, lawyer of Attalla, who was once a Confederate soldier and later a Democrat but who is now a Populist.
 For Solicitor the opposition candi- date to Richard A. Hunt is !. B. Sloane. a young and comparatively unknown lawyer of Blount County. The counties of the Ninth Circuit are Cherokee, Blount. Etowah Jackson and DeKalb.
 There Is one feature of the coming election which decidely favors the op- position. The voting this year will be done under emblems. Tho opposition candidates on the Congressional Ju- dicial and County tickets will have their names under two separate em- blems They have been nominated by both the Populists and the Republit cans and their names will be printed under both emblems, giving them un- questionable advantage.
 But after all 1t takes votes to win and the Democrats have the votes,

rRIAL or wEsr vIRoINIA.
Good Record is Made by the New Ar-
 naOred Cruiser.


 Boston. Nov. 2--With perfect wealth CT and sea conditions. the armored cruiser West Virginia today went over the Cape Anne course for her officlal speed trial and developed an average speed of 22. 14 knots per hour. The contract with the United States gov ernment called for sustained average speed of 22 knots.
 The course measured eighty-eight miles. This distance was covered in three hours and fifty-eight minutes and thirty-three seconds. an average of 2s. LA knots per hour. It is estimated by the trial board that tidal correc- ton will not make any material dif- ference in the average.
 On the outward trip the West vir- ginia made excellent time, her average for the first forty-four miles of the course being almost 22.19. This ev- craze was cut down. however. on the run home, 22.09 being the average speed on the last half of the course. The highest speed attained during the entire trip was 131 revolutions per minute and the average revolutions were 12S.
 Turning at full speed and reversing engines at full speed were both &C., complished satisfactorily.

HOPE NOW IS
 ABANDONED Russia Believes Port Arthur Doomed. GEN. sTOESSEL'S DEFENSE Will Go in History as One Of the BraveSt. Little News Is Received From the Arm- ies Around shakhe, Althoush the Japanse Have Made Some Tentative Movements.
 
GEN. sTOEssEI's DEFENSE

St Petersburg. Nov. 3.-There Is con- siderable anxiety here over the mifi- tary situation. Little news has been received from Mukden.
 General sakharoff's telegram of Nos vember 1 merely indicates that mat- ters were at deadlock around Shakhe. The Japanese have made some tenta- tive moves on both Hanks which were checked but there are no signs yet of a general advance by their army.
 Foreign reports from Port Arthur are decidedly gloomy and while the au- thorities continue to express confidence in General Stoessers ability to hold out. the popular feeling is that the he- roic garrison which already has made a historic defense has about reached the limit of human endurance.

Mount Vernon, N. Y., and the sur-
 rounding Country Shaken.

Mount Vernon. N. Y. Nov. 2.-rhe explosion of over a ton of dynamite under the Bond Street bridge today shook the city and the surrounding country within q radius of five miles, probably killed one person and injured nearly forty others, two of whom may die.

 There were 2,S00 pounds of dynamite stored at the side of the deep rock cut running from the western limits of the city at the New York. New Haven and Hartford Railroad station, which was used for blasting a path for addi- tional tracks. The explosion tore 9 hole in the ground eighty feet deep that is now full of water from a hid den spring, wrecked the Bond Street bridge over the railway tracks and broke all the windows within a quar- ter of a mile.
 Many houses were shifted from their foundations, walls were stripped of plaster and furniture was splintered.

Russia Denies Foreign Accounts O
 Mobilization Riotn

St. Petersburg. No. 2.--According to a semi i-oficial statement published here, foreign reports of reservists riots are much exaggerated. There have been no conflicts between reser- vists and oficers, but owing 10 the au- thorities closing the spirit shops the reservists resorted to the lows for brandy and then piilaged the Jsws' shops because of the high prices charged for the liquor.
 The bitter feeling against the Jews was further excited by many of them deserting, necessitating the filling of their places by Christians.
