READY FOR A MOYE.
The Japs Seem to be Still Masters of
the Situation.
THEIR ARMY IS IN GOOD POSITION.
The Emperor’s Father-In-Law Has Taken
Comiuan'i of the Chinese Forces.
Foreigners Must Leave.
New York, Oct. 17.—The Herald’s
special cable dispatch from Shanghai
says: Fifteen thousand Japanese troops,
under Field Marshal Oyama, are en
camped across Regents Sword promon
tory, to the north of Port Arthur and
within sight of the naval stronghold.
They are waiting for a favorable mo
ment to move forward, and, while out
side of the port, the Japanese cruisers
are ready to intercept all retreat sea
ward.
Sung Kwei, the emperor’s father-in
law, has reached Shanghai-Kwan, a
place on the gulf Liao Tung, where the
high road from the coast to Pekin be
gins. He takes chief command, and
will try to prevent the landing of the
Japanese at this point, which possesses
great strategic importance.
A serious split has occurred at Pekin
between O’Conor, the British minister,
and Count Cassinia, the Russian minis
ter. All foreigners still remaining in
the capital have received peremptory
orders to leave.
A FLORIDA COMBINE.
Phosphate Miners Trying to Get Better
Prices for Their Stuff.
Ocala, Oct. 17.—For some time
there have been efforts made to get the
phosphate industry on a basis that will
insure better prices to those who do the
mining. The principals in this move,
so far as it affected the organization of a
combine, consists of President Graham,
of the Gainesville National bank, and
principal owner of the Piedmont phos
phate mine, Ed. Holder, of the Harts
horn, and Captain Trimble of the Stan
dard.
Mr. Joseph T. Jones of the Nether
land mine, at Pemberton, has just re
turned from England and the continent
and during his absence has gained val
uable information that will greatly as
sist the combine.
If the large miners can get the small
ones to come with them and stick to
prices, so that there shall be uniformity
in selling prices, and hold off the hun
gry brokers, the agreement will be a go
and do vast good to the phosphate in
dustry of Florida.
BATTLE FOR FREEDOM.
Officers Have a Close Call and Nearly
Lose Their Prisoners.
Cripple Creek, Colo., Oct. 17.—A
sheriff’s posse ran down two desperate
characters who had intimidated the
town of Victor, and with mask and gun
held up a dozen men and robbed the
gambling department of the Victor
hotel.
They showed resistance, but were fi
nally landed in jail here. Word was re
ceived here late at night that a mob
was en route to break in the jail and
liberate the robbers, and an officer and
two assistants took the men and drove
them to Divide, the ultimate destina
tion being the county jail.
The train was missed, and while two
of the guards unhitched the team the
prisoners seized two Winchesters and
attacked the officer, striking him on the
head. They were handcuffed and could
not readily discharge the guns. A
fearful struggle followed, the other
men joining in the affray. The des
peradoes, however, made a break for
liberty, and were immediately shot
down.
O’BRIEN’S CASE AGAIN.
The Tennessee Supreme Court Says the
Ex-Treasurer Must Stand Trial.
Washington, Oct. 17. —A Chattan-
special says: Last spring the |
county circuit court quashed the indict
ment against M. J. O’Brien, ex-supreme
chancellor of the Catholic Knights of
America, for the embezzlement of $75,-
000 frdfh that order.
The decision of tl’9 court was based
on the Teiillesseo statute, which denies
legal redress to corporations not having
fin abstract of the charter granted in
the state.
The Tennessee supreme court sitting
at Knoxville has just reversed this de
cision and made O’Brien liable to crim
inal prosecution, pending examination
of authorities cited by O’Brien’s coun
sel.
Hing Was Justified.
DeLand, Fla., Oct. 17. —The coroner’s
jury in the case of the shooting of Jesse
McAbee by C. L. King, at Glennwood,
rendered a verdict of “justifiable homi
cide.” McAbee was advancing on Mr.
King with his pistol leveled. The ball
that entered McAbee’s brain cut off two
of the fingers on the hand in which he
held the pistol. In addition to this, he
had treatencd King’s life, all of which
v, as known to King.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Cotton.
There ia little difference in the condi
tions surrouuding the cotton market from
those which apparently surround every
product t.f the soil in every country in
the world. Namely, that Nature this
year seems to have devoted berself to
producing a bountiful crop of eveiy arti
cle needed by man, with the exception cf
corn and flex, atd the result is that mer
chants ot the oldest standing in trade are
aghast at the prices which are being ac
cepted by the producers for their prod
ucts. Naturally this condition of uffaiis
has driven speculation entirely away
from all maikets, and the trade looks
with envious eyes on the spiunei’s posi
tion, who is enabled to dispose of his
yarns at such a price that ail his opera
nous are being conducted at a profit, as
the raw material is daily falling below
the point which his most sangune expec
tations led him t> believe would be
touched before tbe end of the ciop year.
White cotton slowly declines, and is now
at the lowest point touched, it is curious
that no reports of carnage to tbe crop,
I either by storm or frost, cause any anx
ety as they would in other years, but are
passed over as simple incidents of cli
matic ii-fiuetices, which are if anything
for the benefit of tbe crop rather than
injury, and the idea has now become al
most a positive conviction that
this crop will exceed 9 0110,000 Tbe
question which is piesented to the trade
is, what will become of the surplus
above tbe r< quiremeuts of tbe spinners,
which is variously estimated from 8.250,-
000 to 8,500,0i10 bales. Even Mr. Ellison
has finally been converted and sees no
nope lor the market if the anticipated
crop of 9,000,000 bales is realized, and
expects that tbe addition of 750,000 bales
of cotton to the visible supply would
have i be effect of dragging tbe market to
a very K w basis. Certainly there stems
at the moment nothing to interfere with
this conviction, and it is found in the
ind of every man connected with the
business that there can be no prospect of
any advance in cotton unless some deci
ded accident should occur to tbe cottou
crop. At the present time there is a li.-
tle. hesitancy as to pursuing the decline
further, because of tbe knowledge that
this is the critical moment when a fr- st
may make or mar the cotton crop. Up
to the present time the cold waves have
each of them been passing to a lower
point in the South, and this last one,
which reached its lowest on the morning
of Tuesday and Wednesday of this week
made the following records as given by
thelJnited States Signal Service Bureau:
In the Little Rock district, Brinkly, 36;
Forest City 32; Fort Smith, 34; Helena,
38, Malvern. 38; Newport, 36; Russell
- 34: Pine Bluff, 40; L’ttle Rock, 42;
P ris, Texas, 40; Oklahoma 40 In the
Memphis district, Milan, Dyersburg, Ar
lington, Tenn., Corinth, Miss., all report
32 degrees; B-'hvar, Tenn , 30; Bates
ville, Miss., 34; Decatur, Ala., 34;
Brownsville, Tenn., 34; Hernando, Miss.,
36; Greenville. Miss., 39; Tuscumbia,
Ala., 36 We furnish these records with
out comment, as it is evident that at the
present time no reports of damage to
the cotton crop by frost will be credited
unless the temperature should fall to
freezing point and extend far through
out tbe South. Therefore the market
remains simply one between the consum
er and tbe producer, with tbe producer
striving to sell three times as much cot
ton to the consumer as is necessary for his
immediate requirements, and without
thought of any reports of curtailment of
rhe current estimate of the yield, or of
any speculative buying, the price natu
rally falls in the efforts of the producer
to dispose of his cotton —Hubbard, Price
