You. Mr. Gormly" exclaimed Mrs
Haidane. why, we couldn't think OF
such a thing. The danger."
Madam, have been afoot In worse
storms than this" he answered, when
| was mere boy in the far west"
1t was the first intimation anybody
from New York had had as to any
period of Gormly's life outside of New
York, and one of the company at least
pricked up his ears at this remark
and listened attentively.
I'VE couldn't think of allowing you
to do so, said Miss Haldane.

There's no help for it, | suppose, -
answered Haldane somewhat gloomi-
ly Il guess you will have to keep US

Think how happy you make lone

being his Christmas guests. And If
you will accept this situation, as in

rangements so that you can be taken
to your own place on Christmas morn
ing. Let me consult my butler, who
was Mr.. Goodrich's major domo before
bought the place, and see what can
be done"
A brief conversation with that func-
tionary threw some little cheer over
the situation Gormly's own ward
robe, which had been sent down,
would amply supply the men with
whatever they needed. and the butler
impaired the cheering news that the
lodgekeeper was a married man with
two grown daughters. and he had no
doubt that such things as the women
required might be secured from them.

well, see that they are prepared,
and have Mrs. Bullen here immediate

AS the butler went off to attend to
these orders, Gormly re-entered the
room and found the whole party COM
fortably gathered about the fire. He
explained that he had found a WON
an on the place, the lodgekeeper's
wife; that he had sent the station
wagon for her; and that she would be
present doubtless within half hour
with such Indispensable articles of at
tire as might serve to make the WON
en- guests at least comfortable.
IF you were only in communication
with your shop, Mr., Gormly," said Mrs.
Haldane-and whether she meant to
be offensive or not Gormly could not
tell-'we would lack nothing"
81 am sorry for your sake. madam,

to do our best with the limited re-

Conversation ran on desultorily this
way for short time, when the butler

GOVERNORS PUNISH . PERSONAL ENEMIES

New York, March 6.-Passengers arriv- ing today on the steamer Albingia from Hayti reported that the trouble at Port au Prince during President Simon's ab- sence on the northern frontier was due to the fact that the military governors left in charge at the capital took advan- tage of the presidents absence to punish personal enemies. A number of these the Albngias passengers say, were cast into prison and afterward shot. Since President Smon's return the situation in Port au Prince has been reported quiet.
 Stories of disturbances in all parts of the island were told. by the voyagers on the Albingia.
 One of .-the passengers was. Robert Hertzberg. chancellor of the German lega- tion at Port au Prince, who was taken ill at his post nearly a month .agN and in the disturbed state of affairs was un- able to find physician. One native doc tor whose services were temporarily se- cured disappeared and it was subsequent- ly learned that he had been imprisoned MT.

EXTRA SESSION
 CAUSE OF BREAK Cotton Market Declines IA
 to 2 Points UNAVOIDABLE VIEW Trade Situation and Feeling That There Is Likely to Be Little
 Improvement in Mill
 Circles

New York, March 6-There was fur ther sharp break In the cotton market today under more or less general selling which seemed to be inspired by an un- favorable view of the trade situation and feeling that no immediate improve ment is likely in domestic mill circles owing to the possibility of tariff legisla- ton during the extra session of Con- gress. The close was barely steady at net decline of 14@22 points.
 The market opened steady at unchanged was rather better than due on the cables but soon weakened with local operators becoming aggressive sellerseas soon as 1t was seen that there was no bull SUD- port of consequence and that long cotton was being liquidated. Stop loss orders were uncovered on a scale down and while rumors that leadnig bulls were liqui- dating were denied, nothing more than slight rallies occurred at any time dur ing the day. The continued May premium seemed to color the denials of liquida- ton by leading bulls but there was cer- tainly heavy selling by recent buyers and it was believed that some fairly large lines were liquidated during the day. Re- ports that there had been reductions of Ii cent yard in the price of a leading line of printed goods added to the general nervousness in the late trading when May cotton sold at IA 10c or 30 points be- low the early high level, 24 points un- der the closing figures of Saturday and 55 points below the high record of last week. Covering caused slight rally to- ward the close but last prices were with
 in BOA points of the lowest on old crop positions. Liverpool eased off further after the local opening with private ca bes reporting continental selling and an unfavorable trade situation in Austria.

MORE BOMBS IN
 ITALIAN SECTION

Chicago, March GA bomb was explod- ed early today in the hallway of a build ing occupied by Italians and another ex- plosive placed in the doorway of a gro cery was removed and extinguished by d policeman before 1t could do harm. When the policeman notified the groceryman of the finding and the latter lighted the gas with a match, an explosion which partly wrecked the store showed the bomb throwers also had saturated the floor of the building with gasoline.
 The grocer, Iganzio Damico. and the policeman Thomas Parker, were burned in the fire following the gasoline eX- rlosion.
 No one was hurt in the second explo- sion, although the building was partly wrecked. Both bombs followed demands for money on the occupants of the build ings.

New Orleans, March 6.-"Ths is a glorious country, where Catholics can proclaim their faith without fear of in- reference of military satraps," is the statement accredited to Cardinal Gin bons last night, when responding to a cordial welcome extended by the members of the Knights of Columbus upon his visit to their hall in this city. The cardi- nal paid an eloquent tribute to the work and influence of the order For God and Country" he said, should be n- scribed upon the banners of the Knights He urged the members to take an interest in the questions that arise; that none should be drones in the social hive, as ''all are protected by the strong arm of the government"

.BALMY WEATHER SENT WHEAT DOWN Flowing Already in Cana dian Country CORN HAS ADVANCE Bulge in Corn Due to Figures In- dicating a Firm Demand
 Greatly in Excess of
 Year Ago

Chicago, March 6.-Spring-like weather and millers holding aloof made a weak finish today for wheat. The close showed loss of hc to s4c, compared with 4s hours before. In corn there was a net advance of 3sd15c to 1ac, and in oats a gain of a shade. Provisions were left unchanged to 10c lower
 Reports were current that owing to balmy temperature blowing was in prog ress as far up as the Canadian north west. This condition, together with the fact that an advance of cents since the middle of last week had failed to stimulate any demand on the part of manufacturers of flour, proved too much in the end for owners of wheat During the middle of the day there was a de- cided display of strength, owing to a big decrease in the United States visible sup ply It was pointed out also that pri- mary receipts this season had been 27,- 100000 bushels less than last year, but that exports had fallen only 29.ooo,0oo bushels. However, the market was suf- fering from the effects of a weak start, due to disappointing cables, the result of large world shipments. Gossip was bearish, too, in regard to the forthcom- ing report by the federal government as to reserves on farms. Altogether selling became of more powerful sort than the buying. Tn consequence, the close was easy at almost the lowest point of the session. May ranged from 907sc to 921sc, with last sales 1a47sc down at 91q911sc.
 Corn bulged because of figures indicat- ing firm demand. greatly in. excess of year ago. The proportion of the visible supply at seaports tended likewise to 1engthen the market. May varied bs- tween 4S14c and 49Ac, closing steady, 3s@ 1sc up at 4S7sc. Cash grades were firm; No. yellow finished at 47@471sc.
 Oats, though following corn, did not do s6 in a radical way. A number of the large local shorts covered. High and low limits for May were S1c and 30ssc with final prices a shade above Satur- day night at 305s@3O%c
 Realizing by packers eased off provi- sions. As the outcome pork was a shade to 10c lower; lard off shade to 21aG5c. and ribs unchanged to 71sc decline.
 Future quotations were as follows.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, March 6.-(Special. At the opening the continental merchants sent many selling orders, which continued until noon, causing a further liquidation for American account, which finally closed the market barely steady at 20 points de- clines. Whether they did or did not there the bull leaders were free sellers, which Is the usual gossip when the market de- clins. Whether they did or did not there was at all times a pressure to sell, and comparatively little support after the local trade had bought all they needed.
 There seems to be no change in the sit uation: the goods trade is reported poor, while the receipts do not show the falling off that had been expected. The traders are very much mixed over the sudden changes of the past week. Many south ern buyers are here looking over our stock, with view of shipping it abroad.

 crease in Lard

Monday witnessed a normal degree of activity in trade on Morris avenue, and receipts were fairly good. Of those re- ported were six carloads of feedstuffs, two carloads of meat and sundry ship ments of tomatoes. Tomatoes from Cuba and Florida are coming in in extensive lots although thus far the local trade has taken care of all arrivals.
 Vegetables are still scarce on the ave- nue, and prices show a tendency to go up.
 Packers reported business very good. Lard has increased from 101zc to 10s4c and short ribs from $l0.s0 to s11.
