 New York.
 New Orleans. Jan. 4.-The market ruled easier today on cable reports to the effect that the wage dispute between English cot ton spinners and English mill owners on account of which the operatives in two Old nam mills struck several weeks ago, reach the masters declared themselves in favor of lockout if the strikers do not yield by January 18th, two hundred thousand work CTS would be involved.
 Fear of a census report, due on the 9th instant, showing 10, 000, 900 or more ainned to January 1st. which. If realized, would probably be construed bearish. If only temporarily, since 10000 900 would account for about 719.000 ginned from December ingtng the same period last season. Liver pool was very much of a disappointment today. especially when 1t is considered that values there declined about six English points when advance of about 4 points was looked for. which relatively was the equivalent of about 20 American points American markets opened steadier than warranted, but eased off after the passing of the call. for a while. March falling to 1O.S3 There was good buying at the de- cline. however. March finally closing at ID .92 493 and against 10. 99 yesterday and 10. S6 at the close of last Saturday, when middling was quoted at Il 4c. vs &c. to- day, showing net advance for the week. It is probable that the comparatively heavy receipts the past week in the move to be very much less than one year ago, had something to do with the indisposi- tion of the British market today in the face of spinners takinYB Of American to have been larger than looked for. 421,OOO ys. 424. 900 last year.

BODY NOW MISSING
RELATIVES ARE SEARCHING FOR THE GRAVE OF ST. JosEPH's
 FOUNDER.
JOS. RODIDOUx DIED FORTY YEARS AGO
Fears Are Entertained That the Body Which Was Buried in Metallic Coffin Has Been Removed by Ghouls--Excavators Have Opened Many Unmarked Graves,

St. Joseph. Mo, Aug. 15.-Was tho body of Joseph Robidoux, who found ed St. Joseph nearly seventy-five years ago, and buried here forty years ago, stolen by ghouls? A search of the Robidoux family burying plot in Cal vary cemetery has failed to reveal the metallic coffin in which the pioneer was buried Excavators have opened every unmarked grave and now they will excayate those at which there are headstones in the hope that mistake was made.
 Several weeks ago Louis Robidoux of Kansas City, a grandson of Joseph Robidoux. ordered the collins of his grandparents removed from Calvary cemetery to Mount Olivet, new Cath ollie cemetery. The graves of Robi- doux and his family had not been was very prolific and any many of the children and grandchildren of the old Frenchman were inferred in the big Robidoux lot
 The records of the oldest undertak- CT here showed that Robidoux was buried in metal coffin, while none of the other members of the family was so honored Descendants believed they knew right where the body lay, and they were greatly surprised when the grave designated was opened and only loose bones were revealed. Then grave after grave was opened, until today the searehers have almost de spaired of finding the body of St. Josephs founder.
 A grandson of Robidoux procured the names of the men who served as pallbearers at the funeral forty years ago in the hope that some of them would remember the exact spot where Robidoux's body was placed, but it was found that all of them were dead. Relatives who attended the services were too young to remember much about the funeral, and hope of finding the body is almost despaired of.

HE DISPUTE ENDED
QUESTION OF OWNERSHIP OF PORTO REGAIN LANDS sATis-
 FAcToRILY SETTLED.
CATHOLIC CHURDH CLAIMS TO BE PAID
The Settlement Was Negotiated by Assistant Secretary of State Bacon Thousands of Dollars Must Be ppropriated-Law Suits Now Pend ing to Be Dismissed.

San Juan, F. R., Aug. 15.-After having satisfactorily settled the ques- tions in dispute between the federal government and the Catholic church in Porto Rico, arising out of the con- trol of estates formerly owned by the Dominican and Franciscan orders, As sistant Secretary of State Robert Bacon sailed for New York Wednes day on the steamer San Juan.
 Under the agreement reached the federal government will obtain, sub ject to the approval of congress, con trol of the Santo Domingo convent building and it's lands and the land oc- cupied by the infantry barracks, pay ing therefor $120,000. The insular government will receive, if the agree ment is sanctioned by the insular leg islature, the market place, the San Francisco barracks, and the insane asylum and the land surrounding 1t, paying $1S0,000 for them in three in stallments. The church. in addition to the money considerations, will ob- tain under the agreement a chapel and 62 acres of land near San Juan.
 This disposes of the last of the church claims The question has caused protracted litigation and dis cussion in six legislatures. The in- sular courts have decided some points in favor of both parties and appeals were taken to the United States SUI preme court. Those appeals now will be withdrawn.
 The church land question in Porto Rico involved the right of the Roman Catholic church to control various property valued at about $1,000, 900, formerly owned by the Dominican and Franciscan orders. The estates were alienated by the action of the Spanish government in 1888, but the Catholic church alleged that the act was not properly carried into effect and sought to have them restored alleging that the church was especially dependent since the United States came into au- thority in the island and separated the church from the state.
