HAYWARD, WICK & CLARK's COTTON LETTER
(By Direct Private Wire to Virgin Faunce


 Managers Phone 73s)
 New Orleans. March 29.--The cotton mar ket showed wonderful steadiness and the census bureau Yesterday. with no spe. eial buying the market held firm under tone all day and the active months showed ket remained dull and the volume of trad. ing was limited great deal of bull talk indulged in by those who think the line of least resistance for prices is upward in- stead of downward, and many telegrams from New York and one or two cables from Liverpool expressed the opinion that this was a good time to inaugurate bull cam paign. The writers of these dispatches. however. seemed to prefer to let the other fellows commence the buying necessary to | indicate that bull campaign was seriously contemplated great deal of boosting has been done on paper and by talk. but this proverb that says. "The best way to bull everything is to buy it.
 The market opened steady, 4@10 points higher. The advance was caused by a much better Liverpool than was expected and by an unfavorable weather map. The weather map showed a great deal of stormy and cold weather over the western portion of the cotton belt where fair weather is need ed Reports from the belt were mixed some telegrams from Texas said that the acreage would be cut much as 35 per cent. while others said that owing to the failure of planters to get their corn seed Into the ground until late, corn fields would probably be put under cotton this season From South Carolina came reports of gin- neries still running. thus bearing out, in measure at any rate, the estimate of tho census bureau that after March 10th about 900. 900 bales still remained to he ginned. Spots were in fair demand. the bulk of the demand. however, came from cotton men who wanted to tender against March contracts. Spots closed unchanged; sales. $500; to arrive 1.500.
 Private cables from Liverpool were to the effect that their market advanced on cov- ering by shorts and buying by johbers; also that there was considerable buying there by the South. Spots were hard to sell in the local market and there were some un- favorable cables received here. all or wh'ch tended to mix the situation.

HOPES FOR ACTION
Russia Issues Official Note in Re- gard to Carrying Out the Re-
 forms Promised.

New York. Dec 6.-That this would be an unfavorable time for representa- tions in behalf of the Jews, but that there may be some hope for action in the future, is the opinion expressed by Secretary Root in q letter to Simon Wolf which was made public yester- day. MT Root expressed his sympathy with the sufferers, and says ill part:
 With tIe Hoped for establishment of more liberal form of government and the restoration of administrative control over the remote scenes of the occurrences which are so greatly to be deplored, this government may look for practical response to it's repe<ed solicitations of freer treatment of American Hebrews, and may be in a position to exert efficient. good infiu- ence toward the liberal treatment of all Jews i'll Russia and the better pro- tection from the consequences of deep lying racial antagonism. The problem is one which strongly attracts the sym pathetic attention of this goverli- ment.'

 Attorney Kellogg here produced an old musket which Leonard said Lock wook took from behind door to pro feet himself and that Bassett took it from him. Bassett raised the weapon to strike the old man again and the old man shouted. Bassett told Leonard to call in Cenesky, and Leonard went to the door and did not s4e for a moment what was taking place. When he looIsad back he saw the old man lying on chair, his head hanging over it's back. A chair like the one mentioned was the one used. The back seemed to have been sawed off and the seat broken.
 Resuming his story Leonard said Basset cried out Hurry up, get up there and see where that trunk is, The three went to the room upstairs but could find no trunk there. When they came down from the room they found Lockwood stretched on the floor. He was conscious but did not speak. They searched the house and found bank book. Basset took the book and looked at it moment and then exclaimed Everybody out, there is no money in this house.
 Bassett then tied or tried to tie LockwOod's hands for Lockwood was trying to get up. Cenesky and Leon- ard went toward the door, Leonard who was i'll the rear looked back and saw the old man on his hands aud knees trying to get up. Bassett went back, picked up the old gun by the barrell and struck him three times on the head. Leonard cried out Look out or you'll kill the man. and Bassett threw down the gun telling the old man that he had better lay down and threw comfortable over him. The three then left the house. As they were leaving Leonard picked up an old watch which Bassett pawned In Bridgeport with an Oyercoat he had taken from the house.
 After leaving the house they re- turned to Cenesky's house and Bassett proceeded to clean his clothes which had numerous blood stains. Bassett's revolver was here introduced. It was of the bulldog pattern.

Nationalists in Session
 at Dublin.
REDMOND DTHERE
Resolution Conforming Present Sys. tenn of Governing Ireland Passed
 -Healy and O'Brien Absent.

Dublin, Dec. 6-The Irish national convention was opened at the Mans ion house to-day under the presidency of John Redmond. There was q fair gathering of members of parliament and delegates from all parts of the country.
 Neither William 0'Brien nor Timo thy Healy was present but their ab- Sence did not seem to affect the cheer fitness of Mir Redmond as he con graduated the convention on the death of the Unfonist anti-home rule gov ernment, which he attributed to the blows of the Irish representatives in parliament. MT Redmond painted the prospects of the Irish in roseate hues and said the realization of their hopes depended almost entirely on them selves.
 The lord mayor of Dublin moved a home rule resolution condemning the present system of governing Ireland and concluding:
 ''We solemnly assert that no system of government in Ireland will be ac- cepted as satisfactory except q legis- latiye assembly freely elected and re- presentative of the people with power to make laws for Ireland and an ex- ecutive government responsible to that assembly, and this convention de- clares that the Irish national party canot enter into an alliance with or give permanent support to any Eng fish party or government which does not make the question of granting such an assembly and executive to Ireland the cardinal point of it's pro- gram"
 The resolution was carried by ac- clamation.

Earlier in the evening he was throwing money away on South Man. street and the children of the neigh borhood had fine fun scrambling Tor it. He was well supplied with the long green" for in the church he left his coat which contained over $60. Tn the coat also were razor, sev0al tickets for ball in New Haven and many other small articles. The coat and all the other valuables were brought to the station this morning and are still there. The young man Sras removed to the Brookside home and as yet the authorities have made no arrangements to send him home kIe says he is an employe of sar- gents In New Haven.
