JosioI,,s PremOnItiOn.

During Clevelands last administra- tion Josiah Quincy, then Assistant Sec reIarv of State, was known far and wide as hustler after Government jobs for his friends, and Hoke Smith, Sslevelands Secretary of the Interior. told the following story on Josiah, ac- cording to The Boston Hearld:
 A laborer m InH department Of the Inferior was drowned one day while bathing in the Potomac River; A Con- gressman happened to be strolling, along inc river bank at the time and saw the body hauled out. Upon learning that the deceased was an eInploye of inc Interior Department. he rushed down ana applied to have one of his constituents put in the vacancy; Sec retary smith assured him that the po- sition had been filled.

cA.,.a Ae Celtic

Theodore Roosevelts "The Ancient lrlsh
 Sagas.' in the January Century.
 It Is greatly to be regretted that America should have done so little either in the way of original study and research in connection with the early Celtic literature, or m the way of popularizing and famillarizing that literature, and 1t is much to be desired that wherever possible chairs of Celtic should be established in our leading universities. Moreover. in addition to the scholars work which is especially designed for students, there must ulti- mately be done the additional work which puts the results of the scholar ship at the disposal of the average lay man. This has largely been done for the Morse sagas. William Morris has translated the Heimskringla" into lam guage which, while not exactly Eng fish. can nevertheless be understood without difiiculty-~which is more than can be said for his translation of 'Beo- wulf"-and which has a real, though affectedly archaic. beauty. Dasent has translated the Younger Edda," the "Njala Saga" and the Saga of Gisii the Outlaw." It Is pleasing for Amer jeans to feel. that it WAS IOngfeIlow who, in his Saga of King OIaf,' ren- dcred one of the most striking of the old Morse tales Into a great poem.

Attorneys Talk on Writ
 of Prohibition.
JACKSON HAS BEGUN SUIT
Since Court Stopped One Case, He
 Began Another
ssprsne Justice Fitts Reserved Decis. fen on Return of order Prohib-
 itfng Attorney General from Giving Hearst Hearing.

Albany, N. r., Jan. 12.-Supreme Court Justice Fitts. in special term this afternoon heard arguments on the re- turn of his order which prohibited At torney General Jackson from giving to the attorneys of William Randolph Hearst last Monday the scheduled hear Ing on Hearst's application for the nec- essary permission of the Attorney Gem eral to begin an action of quo warranto to test the title of Mayor George B. Mcclellan of New York city.
 Since the writ of prohibition was is- sued by Judge Fitts a week ago, the Attorney General has himself begun an action in the name of the people to oust Mayor Mcclellan from office. It was contended this afternoon by coun- sef for the Mayor that the Attorney General had violated the spirit if not the letter of the courts order by int stituting the action of custer and should be adjudged in contempt.
 The Attorney Generals contention was that the hearing which he ap- pointed was a. matter of courtesy with in his own discretion and beyond the jurisdiction of the court. Decision was reserved.
 Attorney General Jackson today wrote to Mayor Mcclellan and Corpora ton Counsel Ellison of New York city conveying an invitation of Supreme Court Justice Hendrick to confer with him for the purpose of arriving at some agreement respecting the most satis- factory method of preserving intact the ballots cast at the New York rnayoral- ty election of 1905.
 f Says Mir. Jackson in his letter:
 T have begun an action in the name of the people of the State to try the title to the office of Mayor under that election. My duty and my purpose Is to keep inviolate the evidence of that title and the people rightful1y expect 10 less from every public official. The proposal for a conference was made by he Justice referred to after three con iictIng orders in the premises had been

MISTRIAL FOR WAY
JURY IS DELIBERATING ON FATE
 OF WAYMOND MOORE.
Men Accused of Conspiring to Kill Pos liceman Jones of Decatur at Questionable
 Resort.

Decatur, Jan. 12.-(Special5 by Long Distance Telephone )--The case against Cliff Way. csarged with the murder of Policeman D. Lem Jones, resulted in a mistrial.
 After being out for more than thirty hours the jury announced at o'clock this afternoon that they could not B. w. Speake. The jury stood nine for death by hanging and three for ac- quittal.
 Way heard the report of the jury without any perceptiIale change of countenance. but his face seemed to brighten somewhat when he heard that three members of the jury were in fa- vor of giving him his liberty. Way was taken back to the county jail and was placed in his cell. where he will have to remain until the regular term of the Circuit Court in March, unless his lawyers succeed in securing bond for him before that time. The prose. cution of C1ih Way is considered one of the most vigorously contested of all cases that has ever come before the court of Morgan County.
 The case against Waymond Moore wus completed this afternoon, and went to the jury at o'clock. Way and Moore were together on the night Policeman Jones was killed, and both men were indicted by the grand jury for murder. Moore and Way are accused together of having fired the shot that killed Po- Iiceman Jones. The evidence in the trial in both cases was practically the same. and according to that evidence Moore fired the fatal shot.
 The State contends in both cases that Moore and Way were at the resort of Alice Williams on the night of the kill ing. and Policeman Jones lad Way un- der arrest when he was fatally shot. The theory in Ways case was that a conspiracy existed between Cliff Way and Waymond Moore to kill Mir. Jones.
 Late tonight the jury in Moores case had not reported.

 Mir. Patterson continued. insisting in his belief only very small minority of the people of the South were In sym pathv with the views expressed; that the better element of the South was decidedly against such methods and he did not believe the people of the North were getting a correct Idea of the real situation.
 Mr. TiIlman took his reference to ap- ply to himself. and asserted that he had spoken to hundred thousand Northerners~ in his lectures and that he had received applause and appreciation.
 MT. Patterson said he only wished to point out that both the people of the south and the Democrats of the North had to bear the odium and burden such utterances entailed This drew a hot retort from MT, Tiliman. 50 far" he said. as my own party Is concern ed in the North. 1t Is such a shining example of ward politicians dirty. low creatures who use every tactic and all means to buy votes. that don't care If we never have any Of that type to hack us I'D.

London is Pleased .

London, Jan. 12.-The coming visit of Secretary of State Root to Earl Gray. Governor General of Canada, elicits fa- vorable comment by officials and in the British press. The opinion expressed is that the visit foreshadows better re- lations between the United States and Canada, which were considerably im- proved as the result of the Governor Generals tour of the United States last year.
 While it is stated that Mir. Roots visit Is purely one of courtesy. the im- pression here Is that it will afford an opportunity to go over long pending controversies between Canada and the United States and perhaps smooth the way for a general agreement.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

New York, July 10.-The cotton
market was much more active today
and a sharp decline under liquidation
and bear pressure. The close was bare
1y steady at a net decline of 80 to 80
points. Sales were estimated at $780,
600 bales.
The opening was barely steady at a
decline of 1 to 6 points in the face
of rather better Liverpool cables than
expected and large English spot sales.
There was buying on call, u general
demand was checked by the good
ter the market became very weak IN
der selling by some of the prominent
traders and stop loss orders caught on
a scale down.
Private crop reports from the south
showed some Improvement in condi-
tons, and expectations that with con-
tinued good weather the next condi-
ton report would show a decided i'm
provement over the last report was
probably a factor. At any rate the
market continued weak during the en-
tire session and closed at practically
the lowest point of the day. 1t was
reported that the local bull leader
had sent out rather bearish opinions
based on an improvement in his crop
advices and inability to find a prompt
market for supplies from the local
stock.
Scattering showers were reported
over the belt and the forecast was for
continued showers which it was be-
lieved would be beneficial.
Wire houses with southern connec-
ton were heavy sellers during the ses-
sion, but otherwise he trade was be-
lieved to be chiefly for local account.
