QUIET RULES ON ISLAND
Clubs and Dark Cells Crush Re-
bellion in Prison.

All was quiet on Blackwells Island
yesterday, according to Deputy Commits
sioner Lewis Word OF the establishment
of solitary confinement passed quickly
from cell TO cell. The clubs which Miss
Davis ordered keepers to carry at all
times also had effect, Lewis said. in quell-
ing fractions spirits of the 1,22l prisoners.
Miss Davis had feared a mutiny and TO
prevent II took these radical measures.
Lewis said remarkable change had
taken place overnight. Instead OF the
hootings and catcalls aimed at the prison
authorities there was almost perfect
order.
The disorder began when the District
Attorney began his Investigations of con-
ditions In the penitentiary. AS soon as the
convicts knew that the institution was
under fire the unrest began. The prls-
oners took advantage Of the fact that
dark cells for dis:urbers had been abol-
ished and that there was no way TO
punish them.

PLANS 100000 ALTAR
Herrick Design Accepted for ST.
Louis Cathedral.

Plans for an altar to cost 10000 have
been accepted by Archbishop John D.
Glennon for the new Cathedral or ST
Louis. which has just been built In st
Louis. The altar was designed by f. b.
Herrick, Of the Gorham COMPANY IN COZ
liberation with G. d. Barnett, architect
Of the cathedral, and IS TO be executed
by marble workers in Italy.
The style Of the altar and baldichino'
or superstructure. is Romanesque, and
gives much the impression Of the high
altar in st. Marks. Venice. The color
effect, obtained by the use Of mosaic
and sienese. Brescian and Numidian mar
Bile. is striking.
The altar itself is to be built OF light
Siena nlaid with colored marbles and
mosaics. The work surrounding the tab
ernacle is TO he Of pearl inlays. lapis
lazuli and agate, and the tabernacle door
of brass encrusted with amethysts, to-
PAGES and crystals
The baldinchno is composed Of fourteen
columns, the four at the extreme corners
OF the sanctuary to be Of red Verona
marble. the four fanked by these Of yell
low Siena, the four supporting the en-
tablatrre of purple Brescia. and the re-
naming two, which support the rood
arch. OF Alps green. The entablatures.
arches and pediments are TO be made OF
TRAM. embeilshed with other colored
marbles and carvings. The ceiling OF the
dome will be decorated with a mosaic
representing the Trinity.
An interesting part Of the plan is 10
suspend from the dome by heavy brass
chains rood cross with the figures or

to be carved in Oberammergau. probably

DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 30.-Lverpool
seems to be following the lead of New
York in any decline in futures. while
spot markets hold much firmer and
sales continue good. The total absence
of trade complaints is in striking con-
trast with the tenor of correspondence
at this time when business in Europe
was paralyzed by the fear of a general
conflict over the Balkan troubles.
Our market gained about points in
the early trading.
Feeling Is bullish and no desire to SELL
but support is hesitating on account of
the peculiar action of New York, where
technical reasons seem to determine pro-
fessional exertion particularly in one di-
rection.
Soon after the close of Liverpool New
New York again gave way, causing May
here to drop to 1888. May futures in
New York are now nearly one cent
under the Savannah quotations for mid
ding, which is unaccountahle, except
for local technical conditions In the
Northern contract market.
There was some selling by scalpers
on the New York tendency and the
small forwardings from Liverpool GA
600. against $4,000 bales last year,,
which suggests an unfavora BILE compari-
son of mill takings. However. II should
not be forgotten that mill takings are
already about 400, 900 bales greater than
last year and that the present large ex-
ports mean large mill takings In about
three weeks from now, when the cotton
arrives at destination. OF course, for
the day, small takings will help bearish
designs.

LACK OF SUPPORT

BuIIish Element Waiting Until
Long Lines Are Abated-Some
Selling on Hester's Figures

NEW YORK, Jan So.-Despite lower
Liverpool cables than looked for and
selling by spot houses, covering by
shorts impaired a steady tone to the
cotton market at the opening to-day
and first prices were off to points
higher than the closing quotations OF
Thursday. Reports from the South in
Dictated heavy February commitments.
which was another bullish factor. Should
such be proven true. It would Offset the
talk to the effect that the spot demand
at the South is likely to fall off sharply
as soon as January commitments are
filed. II was the talk of the trade yes
terday that February would be very
quiet. month. and many sold short on
inst belief.
On the call trade buying and cover
ing by shorts carried the list several
This demand was soon satisfied and a
wave OF selling by the ring started the
list on downward trend. Sentiment
continues bearish and a further setback
is predicted in the absence of sup
port.
Support was practically nil during the
late forenoon and a wave of selling, led
by Wall Street, New Orleans and the
ring element. forced March down to
1881, May 1909 and July to 1904. This
selling was chiefly the result of small
spinners ta&lags during the week, being
S07, 900 bales, as compared with 10000
bales during the same week last year
and 1874, 900 bales the year before The
bullish element, however. tried to offset
the small mill takings by saying that
the export statement for the week was
very bullish, showing 162, 200 bales more
than last year and so far for the season
$4,000 bales Iaore than last year. which
indicates that mill takings in the flu
ture will be large. Outside of this the
bulls had little to say, as has been the
case for several days
Sentiment seems to be growing more
cheerful to the bear element and it is
the belief among the majority that there
is good size long" interest in store,
which will likely come out unless the
bullish element make some definite steps
in supporting the list.
At the close the market was steady,
