NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Dec. 2S.-Cotton showed
renewed steadiness at the opening to-
day, first prices being two to four
points net higher on buying of the
same character as that noted before
the holidays. Liverpool remained
closed so that there were no cables
to influence sentiment here, and there
seemed to be very little cotton for
sale around the ring. Absence of
either December or new style January
notices may have encouraged some of
the scattered investment buying
which sent prices about eight to nine
points net higher during early trading.
Steadiness in New Orleans was sup
posed to reflect continued steadiness
in the interior spot markets over the
holidays.
Run1ors that Austria was negotiat
ing for peace seemed to stimulate the
buying movement to some extent late
in the morning, and the market was
very firm shortly after midday with ac-
tive months selling about fourteen to
sixteen points net higher. Houses
with foreign connections continued to
buy on the advance while there was
little cotton for sale, and no sign of
southern hedging.

SERVIAN SOLDIERS ,
ALMOST DESTITUTE
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Mitroaici Hungary, Dec. est is
stated here that the Servian army 5
supply department has proved unable
to meet the demands upon it and that
the troops have suffered great hard
ships Those assertions seemed to be
borne out in part by the condition Of
500 Servian prisoners who were stand
ing today about one Of the three mar
ket places of Mitrovici. They were IN
rags, unwashed, and unshaven.
Very few of the men had boots
none good ones. Most Of them wore
the contrivance of rags and leather
peculiar to the peasants Of the Bal
kans and these had become useless
from long marching.
Want was written on every face
Many men were so weak that they
had to be assisted by their more robust
comrades. The younger men were in
worse physical condition than their
elders, though all suffered the same
hardships. An Austrian officer eX-
planned that by saying that it was his
experience that young men were more
easily affected by want of food than
middle aged persons whose alimentary
system does not have to provide for
demands Of the growing habit" Some
body handed cigarettes to the Serbs
and they frightened up.
''ToO much war" said one. I'VE
have oeen fighting for three years now.
First the Turks"
The conversation was halted by an
Austrian officer.

BULLETS FROM CANADIAN
SOLDIERS KILL DUCK HUNTERS

Buffalo, n. Y, Dec. 28.-One Amer
lean was instantly killed and another
seriously wounded by Canadian troops
patrolling the Canadian border at
Fort Erie, Ont, opposite Buffalo to-
day. The men were hunting ducks
out of season in the Niagara river
and in Canadian waters. Provincial
Police Officer Delaney of Fort Erie
ordered them to stop shooting. They
declined and Delaney called upon a
corporal and two privates of the 44th
battalion of the Canadian militia for
assistance.
The corporal ordered the men to
come ashore. Instead they headed
their boat for the American shore
and were hurrying away when at the
order of Delaney the soldiers fired
upon them.
Walter Smith was shot dead and
Charles Dorsch was seriously wound
ed. Both lived in Buffalo.
Secretary Bryan was notified of the
shooting by Vice-Consul Curtis Of
Fort Erie.
Whether complications viii result
is q debatable question" said Curtis.
while two Americans We're shot, the
information available indicates they
were shooting ducks without a Ca
madam license and were in Canadian
waters where they had no right to be
under the circumstances. No arrests
have been made as a result Of the
shooting"

GOES FOR CARGO
MANGANESE ORE
STEAMSHIP CHISWICk LEAVES
PORT AFTER DISCHARGING
MAHOGANY LOGS AND WILL
LIKELY RETURN SHORTLY.

After discharging her cargo of ma
hogany logs, the British steamship
Chiswick yesterday cleared and sailed
for ports on the south coast of Cuba,
to load a cargo Of manganese ore at
Santiago, and to probably return here
with such product. 1t was undecided
yesterday when the steamer departed
whether this port would be the one
to receive the Cuban cargo or it go to
some other gulf port.
The steamer Kentra did not finish
discharging her cargo of manganese
ore, but those working the ship be-
lieves that it Will be possible to finish
up in the next day or two.

New School Building.
The Opp high school building, a.
structure which has been erected by
private subscription and which will
cost $4,000, will be ready for oc-
CGpancy January 1. Messrs. Grant and
Campbell Of Geneva, were the contrac-
tors and the structure when COM
pleted will be a credit to Covington
county. 1t will be recalled that the
city of Opp made a desperate fight
for the Covington county high school
which was located at F1orala last
year, but being defeated in their move
the citizens were determined to lead
in the Covington schools and began
to build a school building of their own,
in which they have succeeded, and are
all very proud now tnat they lost the
high school and have a building OF
their own and subject to their decip-
lines.
Despite the panic now raging in the
country, there are several nice dwell
lings being erected in Opp and con-
tracts being let for others.
There have been a lot of cotton
shipped from Opp the past week and
the large abundance of the staple that
has been on streets is looking some

ing ocean and freight rates on sugar

The complaints were directed
against the Ocean Steamship Com
pany, Old Dominion Steamship Com
pany; Clyde Steamship Company,
Southern Railway, Seaboard Air Line
Railway, Central of Georgia Railway
and Georgia Railroad. They a%ege
present rates of 33 cents a hundred

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Dec. 28.-Congressmen
were returning to Washington today
from their holiday recesses to resume
work tomorrow and democratic lead
ers were determined 70 expedite the
passage of all necessary legislation to
avoid an extra session after March 4.
Practically all of the real work of
the session is yet to be accomplished.
In the house progress has begun TO be
made in clearing up appropriation bills
and few general measures, but in
the senate, in addition to the supply
measures the entire administration
legislative program remains to be dis
posed of. There the immigration bill
is the unfinished bill.
President Wilson is opposed to the
literacy test and Senator Lewis of
Illinois, has announced his intention
to offer an amendment to eliminate
the provision. Democratic and repub-
lican senators Who favor the measure
believe that if such an amendment
were adopted 1t would cause the bills
defeat
The supply measures have the right
of way and it is probable the immi-

the week by the district appropriation
bill.
In the house it is not believed much
real progress will be made this week
because of the outlook for lack of a
quorum until after new years. The
postoffice appropriation bill is pend
ing with general debate on 1t COM
pleted and now it awaits reading for
amendment. With that measure dis
osed of, the Indian, legislative, eXecu-
tive and judicial and the rivers and
harbors bills will be taken up.
The agricultural appropriation bill
carrying $22, ,627,712 already has been
completed. Tomorrow the sub-COm

BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BOXING

Coach Stage can now see hard
time ahead for his Maroon football
warriors. For the,first time in many
seasons Illinois is looming up as the
bugaboo of the Midway.
Saturday against Northwestern
Chicago showed good football, con-
sidering the condition of the field.
A versatile attack was out Of the
question, the slippery field making
long runs almost impossible and the
heavy ball hampered both teams in
executing forward passes.
Russell showed poorly as a punter,
but the wet oval undoubtedly had
a lot to do with his failing. The Pur-
pie had spirit and determination, but
lacked the mechanical ability to play
up to its courage.
Down at Champaign there was a
different story. Zupke has taught the
state collegians the same brand of
football that made Oak Park High
School the terror of inteTschOlastic
ranks for five years. Every advantage
has been taken of the new game and
intricate passes were consistently
used for substantial gains.
Macomber, Pogue, Schobinger and
Clark reeled off long gains around
the Indiana wings and off tackle. Hi
nois will employ mighty little straight
football during the season and its
tricky formations will be hard to
break up when the eleven has had a
week or two more Of practice.
Butler Bros. split even with Telling
Strollers in Cleveland for the anna
teur baseball championship of the U.
S. Buffers won the first, II to 1, but
dropped the second, 4 to 1. The de-
Gliding game will be played in Chi
