Rice was i'll fine condition and never ought better. But the yetera Il met an exceptionally clever man in Goodwin, who avoided Rice,s swings and returned some we'll placed jabs and hooks. In the tenth Goodwin had Rice bleeding and groggy, but the New London pugilist was gane and stuck the round out. Rice was in trouble again in the fifteenth, and Goodwin. did his utmost to secure q knockout, but could not.

ENAMEL FOR STUDS AND LINKS.
London Pads for Evening Dress
 Displace Pearl and s Plain Gold. s,ss

It is no longer correct to say that no gentleman would ever think of wearing anything but mother of. pearl or plain gold stud links in an evening shirt. Enamels are being very much used for these adjuncts of evening dress, and when lightly treated are certainly beau tifu1 for waistcoat buttons; links and studs of pale rose enamel on gold, with raised design in the center of bril- liants, are now made.
 Another design is a set of studs made of white enamel in l1exagon form out lined with diamonds, and the effect on the shirt front is extremely good giving the appearance of diamonds only and causing people to wonder how they are fitted to the shirt. Single studs are not nearly so much worn as formerly, and perhaps two studs are more fashionable than three, though it is purely mat ter of taste.
 The very latest design for studs and links is bright crimson enamel with Louis XVI. latticework of diamonds in platinum over enamel. White waist coat buttons are nearly always fancied nowadays Though some men still pre- fer plain mother-of-pearI, lately ten- dency has come in to have these pearl buttons outlined with platinum or plain gold and studded with either diamond or a eolored. jewel. They occasionally are made of onyx with a diamond in the center and these look well even with a black dress waistcoat But the smart est men of the day not infrequently are seen with waisteoat buttons matching their studs and links.

COTTON SCARED
ABOVE II CENTS
NO STOPPING THE MARKET
WHEN LIVERPOOL CALLED HIGH
PRICES THERE.

For the First Time Since 1878 the
Price of the staple Has Risen
Above II Cents a Pound in New
HOrI<-HiEh Price of War Times

1SG4-Mnrket Was wild and Ex-
cited.
New York, Feb. 1.-The speculation
in the cotton market carried May and
July cotton options above II cents a
pound on the local market to-day for
the first time in twenty-nine years.
Cotton has not passed II cents a
pound in New York since 1875, when it
went to 171S cents. 1t touched 1875
cents in 1874; 213s cents in 1873, and
273s cents in the year of wild specula-
ton, 1872, when the crop, as against
4,S47,O0O bales in the previous season,
turned out only 2,974,OOO The high
price of war times, when the South
was blockaded, was $1.9O per pound. in
1864
The rise in to-day's market was
scored in spite of heavier receipts and
the failure of Southern spot markets
(save New Orleans) to advance.
There was the same wild and over
burdened market here as on Saturday.
Brokers despaired of executing their
orders according to book. There was
intense confusion and an enormous
volume of trading.
The market opened excited and high
er. Notwithstanding the sensational
advances of Saturday Liverpool again
cabled higher prices than expected.
and the opening here was strong at an
advance of to 20 points, carrying
July through the 17-cent mark and
making new high records for the sea-
son. Following the call the market
advanced still further, though in a
somewhat irregular fashion.
Notwithstanding the heavier receipts
indicated for tomorrow, the market,
after reacting to within a few points
of the opening figures, was rallied
again, chiefly as a result of agrees
sve buying by New Orleans. and was
soon selling at a level still higher than
that of the early morning. March in
the late trading sold at 1904 cents,
May at 17.46 cents and July at 17.55
cents, a net gain of S. to 20 points and
an advance since last Fridays closing
of nearly a cent and a half pound.
| Trading was active on the second adj
vance, including continued buying for
| the account of spot people, who were
| believed to be covering hedges, and for
nublic accounts. The close was firm

PAPERS ARE GUESSING.
Seem All in the Dark as to Mrs.
MaybricL's Whereabouts.

London, Feb. 2.-The whereabouts of
Mrs. Maybrick is variously announced
in the newspapers this morning as
Cornwall, Holloway prison, at sea
bound for the United States, etc.
The Daily Chronicle, which is under
the same ownership as Lloyd's Weekly
Newspaper, the journal that on Sunday
published the story of Mrs. Maybrick's
release, declares the statement that
Mrs. Maybrick has sailed for the United
States to be untrue and adds that she
is still in England and that certain con-
ditions attached to her liberation i'm
pei her to exercise great discretion in
her attitude towards the public and,
for time at least, it will only be pos
sible for her to acknowledge through
the press her gratitude for the efforts
of her sympathizers in obtaining her
release.
The Daily News says that the where
abouts of the institution in which Mrs,
Maybrick is recuperating is kept a pro-
found secret, because she is still in the
custody of the authorities. I'm fact"
the paper says, Mrs. Maybrick and her
custodians are concealing their ideIi-
tity, and this is necessitated by her
having been privileged to walk abroad
with her female wardens. 1t is under
stood that after a period of rest she
will return to either Working or Hollo-
way prison to receive her formal dis
charge on special license"

TAFT REPORTS UPON
PROGRESS IN PHILIPPINES.

short Food supply Caused Suffering.
DissoIute Americans Gave Trouble.
Washington, Feb. 1.-The President
to-day sent to the Senate the annual
report of the Philippine Commission,
including the report of the civil gov
ernor of the Philippines.
Gov. Taft says the year was one of
considerable suffering among the peo-
pie of the Philippine Islands on ac-
count of a snort food supply, but that
the worst is passed While he does
nor consider the future as bright as II
might be, he believes we are beginning
an era in the history of the islands
which, with the assistance of proper
tariff reduction in the United States
and proper navigation laws for the
islands, will be one of decided mate.
rial DEVELOPMENTS.
One effect of the famine was a
corner in rice. which was broken by
the buying of foreign rice.
Gov. Taft says at no time has there
been less ladronism in the island.
One of the greatest obstacles with
which the government has had to con-
tend, he says, has been the presence
of dissolute, drunken and lawless
Americans, who are willing to associ-
ate with low Filipino women and live
on the proceeds of their labor. To
rid the country of this class of Ameri-
cans the commission passed what is
known as the dissolute Americans and
vagrancy acts.
Gov. Taft reviews at length the me-
gotiations leading up to the present
status of the friars land settlement He
says he is officially informed that the
number of friars in the islands is 246
as compared with lob in the figures;
given by the apostolic delegation OF
1898. Gov. Taft says:
Whatever may happen during the
first few months Of the coming of the
American bishops. 1t is certain that
the spirit of the American Catholic
Church is so different from that of the,
Spanish Church form a political stand
point that the influence of the Spanish
friars will gradually wane and that Of
the American bishops become con-
trolling, bringing about that which we
so much desire, the Americanizing of
the Roman Catholic Church in the
Philippines"
To prevent further falling off in the
production of leaf tobacco, Gov. Taft
urges the reduction of the duty to 25
per cent. Of the Dingley tariff rates.
He says he is confident that such
reduction in neither sugar nor tobacco
would affect injuriously any interest
in the United States.
Gov. Taft says political conditions,
on the Islands make the time ripe for
a great period of railway construc-
ton. He recommends a government
guarantee of interest on railway in
vestments.
Gov. Taft says the Sultan of Jolo
long since has violated the Bates
agreement and has forfeited all his
rights under 1t. Gov. Taft pro-
nounces him a gambler and an in
triguer, without a spark of courage or
patriotic and fraternal interest in his
people, and who runs his system of
government wholly for the exaction
of taxes. Gen. Wood says force seems
to be the only method of reaching the
Moros and bringing civilized restraints
among them.
