e. E. PIERCE 6 CO.'S COTTON LETTER


 New Orleans. Feb. 1.-Bearish opinions still prevail in Liverpool and as a conso. quence that market failed to fully respond to our advance of yesterday, late quotations were even more 5disappointing and the clos ing finally showed a galn on options of only point. Spots were het+ss, improving 5 points sales of 10000 bales. Our market opened slightly better than might have been expected. but almost at once manifested signs of weallnoss Values yielded easily on small transaction. Before the reading of the cenqus report, however. the entire loss had been racovarad. From almost a total early absence of support, buy CTS became eager and tho recovery was aR rapid the decline.
 The census report, as usual, was received in an undecipherable condltioa and confused form and some time elapsed before it .oe- came only partially intelligible. during which interval the market sold off under a bearish construction of the meagre data fur nished
 The figures as finally arrived at would in- dicate' that final report to Jan. 18th VIII show about 12, 800, 900 bales as having been ginned to that date. This proved diSappo!nt- ing to the shorts, who expected the figures to point to something over 13200.o00. steady recovery of 10 or IS points followed the buying of short interests. Spots con- tinue to be firmly held and this ssture was largely instrumental in Indusins some fresh speculation and investment buying. The market appears to. ne Iuite sem sitive to diverse influences; we !hink it's course may be somewhat erratIc for the near future and scalping conditions obtain

 LETTER

 Managers; Phone 73S)
 New Orleans. Feb. 1.-The cause If tbe oulIs in the cotton market was pushed along wonderfully today by the partial census bu- reau report. As has been the case with many of the census reports. todav's buIistin was badly jumbled up and for some time i'eL Ms reading was entirely uninteligibla partiai straightening out of the figures saVe the report a bearish aspect and prices sank sank under the pounding of Jubilant bears. Ihen II was found that the report as read. was ep mistake. the census bureau wiring q correction and the report looked more ouflish than it had previously looked bear ish shorts became scared and ionRs tun1n- ca into the market with big buying orders ana the market advanced until 1t was ST morning. 'A eiA'
 The Eist of the report was that in ses counties there had been ginnsd between Dec 18th and Jan. 18th 494594 running bales making total amount ginned in these coun- ties from the first of the season up to Jan aSth' counting round bales as half, s,717.- 6SSs against 7,1sS,3s1 in the same counties turing the same period last year.
 The report was qualified by the statement that In these e95 counties AT ginners had census bureau and that the bureau had made no attempt to estimate the amount cotton gtnned and not reported Only 12d Gounies remain to be heard from for the January report and the bulls considered that the bulletin was decidedly in their fa- vor, especially As calculations by several methods placed the complete January report anywhere between 2.500.0 900 and 19. sO0, ,Je0 bales, whereas many of the bulls themselves nad become reconciled to a report of at least 13. 900. 900 bales
 The market opened quiet and unchanged 70 l point lower. Some aggressiveness bS the bears, coupled with profit taking by scalping longs sent ths market down durina the first part of the morning until prices Of the active months were points lower than yesterdays close.
 There was good demand for spots all morning but offerings were limited and in consequence only a moderate amount Ot business was done. Spots closed 1-16c hIsh. CT than yesterday.

SALOON MAN
UNDER ARREST
John Mcnamara, Proprietor
OF Turtle, Charged With
Felony EmbeZzlement
TROUBLE WITH DEALERS
Fails to Turn Over Receipts
OF His Place to Hilbert
Company, His Creditors
TROUBLE WITH DEALERS

John Mcnamara, proprietor OF the
Turtle saloon at the corner of Geary
and Powell streets, was arrested last
evening on a warrant charging him
with felony embezzlement. The
amount involved Is $1,000. The war
rant was issued at the request Of F.
III. Hilbert of the Hilbert Mercantile
Company and vice president Of the
turtle Cafe Company, of which Nc
Namara is president. The arrest grew
out or recent disagreement between
the TWO men. Mcnamara asserts that
the case is one of persecution and that
an enort is being made to drive him
out OF business. Two days ago the
Hilbert Mercantile Company levied
an attachment on the saloon for a
debt of 1864. Mcnamara says that
TINS proceeding was unnecessary. as
ne mad arranged to pay the bill In full
on the day the attachment was levied.
Last July" says Mcnamara. I'VE
decided to incorporate and had the
consent of our creditors. I retained
all the stock with the exception OF
four shares, one of which was given
to each OF the four other directors.
then delivered a portion of the stock
to the Hilbert Company as security
for what l owed them. 1t was under
stood that I should continue the busi-
the corporation. Hilbert, with but
one share Of stock in his own name.
was made vice president. 1t was un-
derstood then that all new debts
were to be paid in preference to the
old ones and eighteen months was the
time allowed to settle the latter.
"On February we held a meeting
of creditors in Hilbert's office and
proposition was made to pay off the
old debts at the rate of SO cents on
the dollar. This was agreeable to
every one with the exception of Hill
berts concern, and then 1 agreed to
pay him his bill in full. Hilbert was
to have seen me next day, but instead
of this he obtained the attachment
All the other creditors came forward
that day and signed an agreement in
accordance with my proposition.
MY arrest tonight is due to the
fact that / refused to turn over to
Hilbert and the other directors the
money that has been taken in during
the last few days. 1 own all of the
stock and l consider the place nina.
That being the case, I am entitled to
the receipts and l will not turn them
over to any one else.
Mcnamara was released on bonds
as soon as he had been booked at the
City Prison.

of Victim as the Assassin

Lung Moy, wife of Lee Soon, a cook.
was brutally murdered on a porch at
the rear of her residence. 6S5 Jackson
street, early last evening. The muir
derer welded cleaver and hacked the
woman's head and arms In a horrible
manner. Not satisfied with his fiendish
work, he drew revolver and fired a
bullet into the PROSTATE form. Lie
Sue. whom the police pronounce. de-
mented, and who imagines the woman
was his first wife, has been arrested by
Detective George Mcmahon for the
crime. Mcmahon says he has sufficient
evidence to convict.
Lee Soon and Lung Moy have been
married about twelve years and have
two children. Some time ago Lie Sue
took room adjoining the apartments
of the family In the Jackson street
enamored with Lung Moy. He startled
his friends by declaring that the
woman was his first wife and that he
was the father of her children. Lie Sue
did little for livelihood and he was
regarded as being simple minded
Hence his declarations were not needed
and the husband paid little attention to
him.
Shortly after o'clock last evening
All Won, cousin of the woman. heard
the sounds of q scuff1e on the back
porch. He did not investigate imme-
diately, but rushed to the back en-
trance when he heard the pistol shot
When he reached the porch he found
the bloody body of the woman, with a
new cleaver close to 1t. The murderer
had made his escape Won called in
the detectives and circumstances i'm
mediately pointed to Lie Sue as being
the guilty person. When the officers
searched the latter's room a pair of
trousers stained with blood was found
and booked as evidence against him.

RELIGION OF SHAKESPEARE.

Shakespeare'S religion has long been
source of much speculation, and that
interest in the question has not abated
was shown by the composition and size
of an audience which gathered at the
Royal Institution the other day to hear
Professor Churton Collins read paper
on the subject. That they departed
with their curiosity unsatisfied consti-
tutes no reflection on Professor Collins
reputation as Shakespearean scholar.
He ended his lecture as he began it,
with query, for the simple reason that
Shakespeare's plays afford no conclu-
sive proof as to his belief.
The professor pointed out that 1t can
not be assumed that the religious views
expressed by the dramatist's characters
coincide with his own. 1t could not, he
said, be inferred from the words of
the ghost of HamIet's father that the
bard himself believed in purgatory; nor
from what he makes Henry VIII say
that he had faith in angels. In no sin
gle line that he had written did he ex-
press disbelief in Christianity or any
of it's dogmas, as understood In his
time, but it could not be asserted that
he was himself orthodox.
1t was certain, however, the professor
maintained, that he accepted the ethics
of Christianity and revered them. There
was always peculiar tenderness in his
lClClCnCCc " SIil lSl, dHu Ills lllSlotcuCc
on mercy, forgiveness and repentance
were emphatic as especially shown in
the Tempest" His plays contain
abundant proof Of his own faith in q
divinely appointed moral law. But his
theology, as far as he revealed it, ap-
peared to conf1ne itself to the know
able. There was nothing in his works
which would justify one in asserting
positively that he believed In the i'm
mortality of the soul or a future state.
DICKENS STILL POPULAR.
Two most effective answers have just
been given to the recent assertion of a
prominent English critic that the works
of Charles Dickens no longer appeal
greatly to the readers or these islands.
The first is an announcement that In
the past month over 100000 copies of
Dickens novels were sold in Great Bri-
tain. The second comes in the form of
a new periodical. 1t is called The

hereafter, and is entirely devoted to

Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON. Feb. 10.-Rider Haggard's
appointment by the Colonial Secretary
to inquire into and report upon the Sal
walton Army land settlements for i'm
migrants has met with general ap-
proval. Ordinarily almost any one but
popular novelist would be selected for
such a mission, but for the last few
years the author Of "She" has devoted
good deal more time to the study Of
industrial and agricultural questions
than his readers cared to see him give
to any pursuit but novel-writing.
A while ago Haggard confessed his
belief that his speechmaking and edi-
torial writing regarding land culture
had made him bit Of a bore. He
declared that upon Joining q social
gathering one day he overheard the re-
mark: Here's Rider Haggard: for
heavens sake, don't mention agricul-
ture' The novelist is in London at
present, partly in connection with his
coming visit to the United States and
partly to make arrangement for the
publication in book form of "Ayesha,"
the sequel to She" which Is appearing
ser1ally on this side of the water In the
windsor Magazine and proving one of
the greatest attractions ever secured
by this periodical. Haggard's other
III,
mand at the book shops.
1t Is stated that the novelist's mis-
sion In the United States Is directly
connected with the British govern
ment's scheme for agricultural settle
ment in South Africa The expenses Of
his trip will be borne by the trustees of
the late Cecil Rhodes. Just when Hag-
gard will sail has not yet been decided.
ANTT-VIVISECTION NOVEL.
An offer Of $3.50 has just been made
by the Animals Guardian" the off,
cial organ Of English anti-vivisectiou-
lists, for the best anti-vivisection novel
submitted to its editor. The competi-
ton is not restricted to British authors.
SO there is no reason why writer's in
America should not compete, If they
think 1t worth while. Probably the
smallness Of the reward and the short
ness of the time set-all manuscripts
must be submitted by the first of June
will keep any author of real promi-
nence from actually taking part in the
contest, but it is just possible that ii
may inspire one of the several writer's
of renown who are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
to undertake q romance of this kind.
Mark Twain is against vivisection.
George Bernard Shaw is of the same
mind, and so is Jerome X. Jerome, who
took spirited part in a recent news
paper discussion on the subject Will
kie Collins and James PaynN both were
observation-disclosures, and, according to
the editor of the Animals Guardian"
both essayed the task of treating the
subject in a romance, but found it diff
ficult, owing to limited knowledge Of
the subject. 1t Is now declared that
standard novel pointing an anti-vivi-
section moral is the greatest need of
this cause
