Loveman q Co.'S Market Letter,

We had a double-header in the way of crop reports today, the weekly and monthly government bulletins having been published at Il a. m., and while the weekly report was rather in favor of the market, further deterioration having been announced, the monthly bureau con- dition report was more bearish than ex- pected, the crop having lost but 28 points during the four weeks ending with Au- gust 25, the market breaking about 50 points in consequence. December, after having sold at 10.s4. declined to 1O.3a, final ly closing at 1044Ql0. 45.
 The trading was heavy in early morn ing and the market was well supported until the reading of the bureau report, Liverpool showing an advance of about points and spot sales there were larger, 5000 bales. Conclusions for and against a. full crop were arrived at by both bulls and bears, but the figures indicate short crop. about 9.225,000 bales, the con- dition and reduction in acreage amount ing to about 32 per cent less than last years September report. These figures are not offered as an estimate and we do not want them to be so construed, as we only wish to convey present prospects which remain subject to change as a re- suit of future weather conditions. There is possibility of the crop faring better during the month of September than in former years. but we desire to lay par ticular stress upon the fact that 1t Is possible and more than probable that owing to the backwardness of the late planted in the Mississippi valley and in the northwestern portion of the belt, the maturing of the late planted will be nipped in the northern portion of the belt. say about October 25.

WALLACB'S JOB
WILL BE EMPLOYED by GEORGE
WESTINGHOUSE.
Plan Ia Build Electric Roads by Side
of Steam Railways.

New York, July 13.-lt has been
learned upon the highest authority
that Engineer John f. Wallace was
lured away from the Panama canal
commission by George Westinghouse,
of the Westinghouse Electric compa-
ny.
Westinghouse, is is known, has a
scheme to build electric railroads to
parallel steam railroads wherever
there is an apparent chance of profit
able competition.
The belief is current that the main
object of Westinghouse and those
who are to be associated with him is
to compel the railroads to buy the
electric roads in order that there
may be no rate slashing.
II is suspected that in some in
stances the railroads themselves will
be parties to the scheme with view
to preventing the construction of
electric roads by unfriendly interests.
Wallace is to be the head of the
enterprise, and, in addition to sala-
ry of $4,000 per annum, is prom
Used opportunity to obtain stockhold-
ings and profits out of the deals con-
templated
II is said Wallace believed when
he left the Isthmus of Panama that
the president and Secretary Taft
would increase his salary to the fig
ure offered by Westinghouse, and
that he would be permitted to direct
canal operations from this country
Secretary Taft had received some
information of the general scheme
and was prepared for Wallace when
he arrived.

One of Most Shocking Crimes in
Annals Of Crime.
With Winchester lie Negro
shoots Ships Crew and Won
EN- and Children.
HE rs FINALLY CAPTURE

New Orleans, La. July t3.-De-
tails have just been received here of
one of the most shocking tragedies
in all annals of crime. The Island of
Utilla off the Hondurean coast was
the scene of the tragedy and twelve
lives were sacrificed, the motive be-
ing robbery.
The captain of the schooner Olym-
pia had started on cattle buying
expedition. Her crew and passengers
totalled thirteen. including two NO
men. two children. The ship left Util-
la the night of June 80. About mid
night everybody was aroused by a
shot. They rushed on deck and Rob
ert McGill, a negro armed with a
Winchester. shot them down one af-
:cr. another. After nc had killed az!
but one man. McGill ordered him to
scuttle the ship, and when he re-
appeared on deck and reported Me
Gill shot him dead. The negro then
put the two women, Miss Eliza
Morgan and her sister, Mrs. Walter
Rose. in the dory. with Mrs. Rose s
six weeks old infant, on the boat,
steering for the main land. He chan
ged his mind about allowing the
women to live. and killed Mrs. Rose
and her infant. Then he began shoot
ing at Miss Morgan. and wounded
her In the arm. He fired at her in
effectually, but his ammunition evil
IDENTIFY gave out. for he promised her
immunity from harm If she would
come back to the dory. She started
back and when within oars length
he struck her over the head with an
oar stunning her. Believing she was
dead. he rowed away toward the
mainland. Miss Morgan swan back
to the Island and after hiding for
two days in bushes was rescued.
When she told her story search
was made and McGill caught on the
road To Cebia An attempt was made
to lynch him but he was protected
and taken back to the island. The
Hondurean laws forbid capital pun
ishment. but II is believed the peo-
pie will take the case into their own
hands and torture him to death.

st. Petersburg, July I'm. Mu-
ravieff has resigned Aisrsesition as

garded as practically certain that he
will be replaced by M. White, presi-
dent of the committee of ministers.
who all along has been considered
the Russian statesman preeminen.ly
qualified to undertake the difficult
task of negotiating peace with ia
pan.
Though the emperor on two pre-
vious occasions has fatty declined
to accept M. White. he has now indi-
Gated his readiness to make the APP
polntment. Whites selection I'M
doubtedly will be hailed as a practi
cal assurance of peace.
While IL would be a mistake 10
denominate him as a peace at any
price" man, Witte earnestly believes.
the struggle should be ended and
should be succeeded by an under
standing between Russia and Japan
which would insure peace In the Far
East for half century. Indeed, he
is personally believed to be in favor
of Russo-Japanese alliance.
The conduct of negotiations by
Witte, 1t is felt by the peace party
here, will inspire instant confidence
in Japan. Muravieff's retirement is
ostensibly owing to III health, Is In
reality due to the fact that the EN-
peror became convinced that negoti-
ations might be jeopardized If he
went to Washington. The change In
the chief of plenipotentiaries does
not involve any postponement of the
date of sailing of the peace mission
for Washington.
