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.

The registration books for state and congresssional elections in October and November arc now open and will re main so until 10 days before each elec tion.—Law requires payments of all taxes up to year of election Those having recently attained their majority and those over 60 years having no property must register in person, John J. Black, Register, 9-l-d-2w-w-2m 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 & Co.’s Weekly Rev ew.
