NEW YORK. April THE cotton market
opened steady at an advance of TO points
and sold to Is points net higher during the
early trading. with near months leading the ad-
vance. The rise was owing TO continued large
spot sales in Liverpool. bullish Manchester trade
accounts, active covering and because OF pu=.
chases by spot houses. Interviews with Alr
Patten In the morning papers seemed to revive
apprehenslOns Of near month squeeze, and
undoubtedly added to the nervousness of recent

Offerings increased on the early advance. TLey
seemed to come from flattering sources rather

such terms without expecting them to be
taken too seriously. But Clay was not to
be appeased. and the two men met March
s, on the right bank of the Potomac
river. within The state of Virginia, with
loaded pistols. They each fired once
without effect. Clay fired again, the bull
let passing through his antagonists coat.
Randolph then fired into the air, threw
down his pistol, and stepped toward Clay
and extended his hand. This was TOO
much .Ciay's face changed in an in
slant; he threw his pistol to the ground
and ran to meet Randolph, and the latter
said, with mock seriousness:
Mr.. Clay, you owe me a new coat 3"
lin glad the debt is no greater" said
Clay, and the two men INDUCED in a
long. fervent handshake. Afterwards
Randolph said: II would not have seen
him mortally wounded for all the land
that is watered by the king of floods
and all its tributary streams"
The story of this duel was widely cir
culated. and it's outcome considerably
amused the public rather than gave them
much serious concern. John Randolph
was the seventh in descent from Poca-
hontas, the beloved daughter of the great
emperor of the Powhatans, and usually
added the, suffx, ''of Roanoke" to his
name. ....
The historian thus sums up his char
acter: "He was brilliant without sound
sense; morose and irascible with kindly
heart toward friends; an apparently
gloomy fatalist-almost an atheist at
times-yet- overlooking. frequently with
pious thoughts and sentiments.
1T is said that on one occasion he
assembled lofty spur of the Blue Ridge
at dawn. and from that magnificent OBJ
servatory. saw the sun rise. AS its light
burst in beauty and glory over the vast
panorama before him, he turned to his
servant and said with deep emotion:
Tom. If anybody says there is no God.
tell them they lie!' Thus he expressed
the deep sense which his soul felt of the
presence of a Great Creator" o.

Because John Randolph styled John
Quincy Adams and Henry Clay the
Puritan and the Blackleg." Clay fought
his memorable. but bloodless, duel with
Randolph on April s. 1896. During the eX-
citing campaign when John Quincy
Adams won the presidency, the fight lay
chiefly between himself and his opponent,
Andrew Jackson. Henry Clay was. at
that time. an important figure i'm politics.
Clay was no friend of Jackson. nor OF
Crawford. another candidate. and even
he and Adams were not and had nevar
been, close political friends. But when
Clay announced that he would vote for
Adams. his adherents followed his exam
pie. and Adams won. receiving the votes
OF Is states. while seven states voted for
Jackson and four for Crawford.
Adams made Clay secretary OF state,
and the jackson party raised the cry that
there had been q bargain. a corrupt bar
gain, between Adams and Clay. This
cry was kept UP for four years, and u
played an important part in the next
presidential election. Clay got into trou-
BILE with John Randolph about the mat
ter. Randolph was a remarkable man in
many ways. He had entered congress IN
1889. when scarcely more than boy, aud
had soon attracted attention by his tall,
awkward appearance. his ungovernable
temper, his keen Wit and biting sar-
