NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-The majority

shrank steadily until the trading be-

seemed more disposed to discuss the
tangled affairs of the suspended firm
rather than to engage In market COM

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-The cotton
market opened firm at an advance of
22 points on August. which was bid up
on the call by 'reactionists, md 10 to
10 points higher on the later months
which was better than due on the
cables, as a result of covering and buy
ing for a rally on the reports of storm
damage from the Eastern belt. There
was some heavy selling on the advance,
cut offerings were well taken, and the
market ruled around the initial figures
during the middle of the morning, with
bears less aggressive as a result of the
crop damage talk and the review of the
third week in August by a Georgia ex-
pert, estimating a reduction of at least
a million bales in the yield as "A result

MENELIK'S HEIR.
Named to Sit on Throne of
the "Kiuq of Kings"

The news from Adds Abeba that
Menelik nominated an heir to the
throne of The King of Kings of
Ethiopia, ~Conquering Lion of the Tribe
of Judah" was of interest not only
from the personal point of view, but
also from the political standpoint, says
the Pail Mall Gazette.
For many long years the death of the
Negus Negusti has been followed by a
period of civil war and anarchy in
Abyssinia, and since 1S41 no sovereign
of the old royal line has occupied the
throne. Theodore, John and Menelik
himself all won the throne by the
sword. Unlike Theodore n John,
Menelik. however, is of royal lineage.
His ancestors have been kings of Shoa
since that country was ~reconquered
from the Moslems at the close of the
seventeenth century; moreover, he
claims kinship with the old emperor.

Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.

through her interests in the Sudan.
| Menelik is now slxty-four; he has been
a ruler of Abyssinia nineteen years; he
has greatly consolidated his power, and
doubtless felt hat the time had come
when the uncertainty as to his success
sor should be put at rest. His only son
has been dead several years, his
nephew n supposed heir. Ras
(Prince) Makonnen, who represented
| the emperor at the coronation of Ed
ward VII, died in 1905. Menelik has
now chosen as his successor his young
grandson, Lig Eyassu or Yasu q. e.,
Jesus), the son of his younger daughter
a lad now about twelve years old. His
father is Ras Michael, a powerful
prince and governor of the provinces
of wollo. Borona and Aussa. Youths

such qualities as justify his selection

Where the world is half asleep!
