issue unsettled.
The New York Herald publishes
the following: Cotton brokers, MEM
bers Of the New York cotton exchange,
are becoming alarmed at the publicity
attending the market operations OF
their fellow member, D. ]. Sully, and
have sent word broadcast that Mr..
Sully, the deposed king, is no longer
member Of that body. Official an
nouncement was made yesterday at the
exchange to this effect, with the re-
quest that publicity be given the fact.
No secret is made of the hostility Of
the bulk Of the members Of the
exchange to the late leader OF
the cotton market, and the prom
ise Is made that he will never
again become a member. The MEM
bers of the exchange who are fighting
SuIly are the speculative bears, who
do not want cotton to go higher, and
they resent the activity Of the great
bull. 1t is predicted, however, that
they will not be able to seriously In
terfere with Sully's plans to force cot
ton to a higher level
Major William Warner Of Kansas
City was elected United States senator

Cockrell. The election was on the
SEVENTEEN ballot and was attended by
scenes of much turbulence. The bal
lot resulted, Warner 81, Cockrell SO,
Neidringhaus 1, total 175. The decis-
ion was reached after unprecedented
scenes, during which the clock was
set forward more than half an hour to
o'clock, the time set for adjourn
ment. The clerk was injured bNSa
blow from a member. Democrats
urged members to refrain from voting
and created such a noise that the roll
call could not be heard. The clerk
refused to call the roll An attempt
was made to drag the speaker from
his desk and at times members were
standing on desks, shouting and
threatening each other with violence.
Kerens, one Of the candidates, appear
ed on the platform and urged the cleo
ton Of a Republican senator, whether
he or some one else. Senator Fields,
Democrat, urged members to allow
balloting to proceed, addressing men,
bers Of his party.
w. E. Curtis, writing to the Chica-
go Record Herald from Birmingham
says: Southern iron is said to make
the smoothest castings of any produced
in the United States, and for many
purposes satisfactory foundry work
cannot be secured without it. No 9TH
er state produces so large quantity
Of foundry iron as Alabama, and yet
very little is used here. The largest
domestic buyers Of Birmingham iron
/ am told, are manufacturers Of ma
chinery and machine tools in Ohio
and the west, while the New England
manufacturers Of cotton mill machin-
cry consume large quantities. Some
one who has been looking up the sub
ject asserts that nearly all of the cot
ton mill machinery used in the south
is manufactured in New England out
Of Birmingham iron. 1t Is especially
adapted to locomotive building, also,
and large quantities are being sent to
Philadelphia, Providence, Chicago and
Richmond locomotive works for that
purpose. That is the reason why the
new International Power company,
which has consolidated nearly all Of
the locomotive works of the United
States, has secured control of one of
the largest pig iron concerns in Bir-
mingham.
