The Chicago Board of Trade experienced a
lively business, at a decline on grain. Wheat

New York, June 13. The Sun s cotton mar
ket report says: 'Cotton advanced 7 to 8
points, then reacted, and closed dull at a net
advance for the day of 3 points Sales 70.1C0
bales. Liverpool declined 2 points, recovered
this, and, according to an erroneous dispatch
tp the exchange, then advanced 2 points
more but this proved to be a mistake. The
net Improvement for the day was only about
a half point. The spot sales there
were §,1'03 bales at unchanged! prices.
New Orleans advanced 3 to 5 points.
In Manebeater yams were dull: eloths quiet.
The southern spot markets were generally
quiet, steady and without alternation. To
nay’s futures: Droughts in the Carolinas,
Georgia. Alabama. Arkansas and Tennessee,
coupled with a rise in Liverpool, caused an
advance early in the day, a part of which was
lust later on, owing to a correction of advice
from Liverpool, reporting a decided advance,
rain in South Carolina and local realizing.”
New York. June 13. -Riordan & Co. say of
cotton to-day: "When our market opened
to-day Liverpool had declined about 2-in. but in
the face of the government weekly weatherre
pori showing drought tn many parts of the
cotton belt, no oiiy here seemed inclined to
sell, and our opening was at an advance of 2
to < points, the first salesol August being nt
7.20 c. Liverpool at once rallied handsomely,
•nd by some blunder the advance there was
reported to le just double what it really
was. The market advanced sharply on
this news and 7:26c was paid for
August. Shit when ih: error was
corrected, most of the advance was lost, and
August fluctuated for the rest of the day be- I
tween 7.21 c. and 7.22 c. Just before 3 o’clock
the market became easier, on telegrams an
nouncing raijjs in South Carolina and the
'close'Vis dull with 7.2 Ge. bid for August. If
the ruins should prove to be anything like
general to the southeast, prices may go lower,
but we arc"still strongly of the opinion that
upon every good break cotton is a good pur
chase. . •

HARRINGTON NOT A CANDIDATE.
He Gives His Reasons for Taking
This Position.
Swainsboro, Ga.. June 18.—To the Dem
ocrats of the First Congressional District
of Georgia: In my letter under date of
Maj’ 15, in answer to one from a commit
tee appointed by the democratic execu tire,
committee of Emanuel county, I said: I*
will therefore saj’, if at the primary to be
held the first Wednesday in June at the
different precincts in the county, the peo
ple voting thereat should ratify the acts
of the executive committee in thus de
manding the use of my name, and this
should be followed up by other counties
in the district, I will then become a can
didate in accordance with resolutions
aforesaid. Now, the resolutions referred
to plainly stated that tne nomination
should be bj; primary, which, in my
judgment, is the only proper
method of arriving at the
true will of the people. For a new candi
date to get fairly before the people, so as
to enable him to present his claims in an
acceptable manner, it would be necessary
for him to canvass the district. This I
cannot afford to do. First, there is no
issue that I know of to be debated within
the democratic ranks. Secondly, I have,
since said writing, been assured thaj Mr.
Lester desires to be returned to congress.
While ho is at his post of duty where the
democrats sent him, I will not take ad
vantage of his absence and stab a friend
in the back. I therefore desire that I
should not be considered a congressional
possibility. Some of ray friends may
considei- this action of mine the outgrowth
of a vacillating character, rendered im
potent by political timidity. But I as
sure them that whenever my services
will avail ihy party anything, I shall not
be found wanting in courage.
So far, I have much to congratulate my
self upon and to encourage mj r personal
ambition, as ray own county where I born
and reared,'has spoken at the ballot box
and unanimously claimed me as their can
didate for congress. At, this writing no
other county has acted, and as 1 have
never spoken a word or written a line so
liciting support from any source what
ever, I have no information as to how
they might act.
Thanking my friends for their verv
zeiilous manner in which tttey have pre
sented my claims, and wishing them and
the Democrtic party all the success and
prosperity that belongs to an honest peo
ple. Alfred Herringtox.
LABOR ORDERS’ ALLIES.
The Railway Union and Knights of
Labor Form a Coalition.
Chicago, June 18.—Tbe coalition of the
American Railway Union and the Knights
of Labor was effected at to-day’s session
of the first auual convention of the Rail
way Union. The following steps were
Liken toward an offensive and defensive
alliance of these two great labor organ
izations which, with an effective strength
of 850,000 each, are founded upon the prin
ciple of including in its membership
laboring men of all classes.
Opiwsed to this great confederation of
laboring men are the American Federa
tion of Labor, the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Fire
men. and all kindred orders working on
the class organization basis. There is
every prospect of war to the death be
tween the two factions of organized labor.
Each has within the last few months
made vigorous ateacks upon the other,
and the radical difference in their princl
pies are likely to make the fight for
supremacy a lively one.

ASYLUM ON OUR WARSHIPS.
The Salvadoreans th Be Put Ashore
When Order Is Restored. * : ,
The Government Officials At Wash
ington Anxious Not to Establish a
Precedent That Can Be Used Against
Us in Hawaii—The Commander of
the Bennington Anxious Take the
Refugses tq .Panama or Put Them
Aboard Some Outward Bbund Ves
sel. ' - ** ' ' ■
w Washington, June 13.—1 t is stated on
authority that as soon as tbe new govern
ment in Salvador has fully established
itself and is able to preserve law and
order, it is the intention of President
Cleveland to direct the surrender of the
refugees now on board the Uhited States
steamship Bennington to the proper
judicial authorities. Not, how
ever, without the fullest guarantees
on the part of Salvador that the prisoners
shall be tried by an impartial tribunal,
organized in conformity with the consti
tution of the republic. According to the
latest dispatches from .Commander
Thomas, there still exists throughout
Salvador A state of affairs but little re
moved from anarchy and the members of
the late government, who. were given
asylum on the Benningtont would, in bis
opinion, be murdered IvithOut any for
malities whatever the moment they
reached shore if he were compelled to
give them up. '
THE COMMANDER'S WISHES.
It is said Commander Thomas was anx
ious for permission. to take his refugees
to Panama on the Bennington, or th put
them aboard some outward bound mer
chant vessel, butr was restrained from
this proceeding because this government
was opposed to establishing a precedent
ih the matter of granting asylum. While
it is truq that the naval regulations con
tain an ancient paragraph “ giving a com
manding officer ■“ certain discretion
to act in the interest- of humanity
in extraordinary contingencies, and that
Commander Thomas is. in all probability,
fully protected by that clause in the re
cent instancS,'it isalso a fact that very
grave complications might result from a
continuaace of this old practice in mod
ern times. The difference between the
case in Brazil, where the refugees on the
Portuguese ship were revolutionists and
at La Libertad, where they were mem
bers of an overturned government, is con
sidered scarcely material.
AF’HAID OJ* IIAtVAIi.
The Hawaiian situation presents possi
bilities which the United States desires
to be prepared to meet, for in case of
trouble there, the United States does not
want to make it possible for Briti&h or
Japanese ships to grant asylum.
Last night.orders were cabled to the
Charlestonpad Callao, th proceed to San
Francisco, “stopping at necessary inter
mediate ports.’’ La Libertad, Salvador,
is the first intermediate port she will
reach, and as it is only 1,000 miles from
Callao, the Charleston ought to reach there
bj* Saturday next. If her hull were not so
foul, she could make the trip in less
than three days. The Salvadorean refu
gees will be kept on the Bennington until
the arrival of the Charleston; when,'as
there are more accommodations on the
larger ship, they will probably be trans
ferred to her, where they will remain
until tbe government of Salvador is or
ganized to the satisfaction of the United
States, and wh.cn tlyffifc is.no douffcthat
the death penalty will not’ be recklesslj’
pronounced, or that the prisoners can be
fully protected from mob violence.
JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS.
Should the Salvadorean Refugees be
regularly indicted under proper judicial
procedure the courts of the United States,
upon receiving the warrant, would alone
be competent to execute it if the refugees
were within their jurisdiction. This
matter will not be permitted to obscure
wbat is considered to be the paramount
one, that of granting asylum.
Reports from Salvador this morning
show that the new government there is
as far from stability as ever, and that the
considerations requisite for the delivery
of the Bennington's refugees are distant.
In .the meantime the United Statesis
chafing under a very embarrassing situa
tion.
ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.
A Belief That the Session Can Be
Wowhd Up by Aug. 15.
Washington, June 13;—With the advent
of hot weather cbmes a universal desire
for the adjournment of congress.
Soipe of the southern members particu
larly’ who waited for the repeal of tbe
Sherman silver purchasing act, find that
their position regarding that measure is
being used to their disadvantage at home,
and are anxious to get back to their dis
tricts and explain the reasons fcr sup
porting repeal. Some of the best in
formed members of the House and Senate
believe adjournment will be reached not
later than Aug. 15. They think the tariff
bill will be sent back to the House by the
last of June, and that adjournment can
be had by the close of six weeks follow
ing.
Leading republican members of the
finance committee of the Senate say ;t is
probable that the tariff bill will be
firifshed and pass the Senate about two
weeks from next Saturday. Al! day
yesterday and to-day negotiations have
been going on among the leaders on both
sides looking to progress upon the bill.
Some iDodlfieatt®ns> 7 may be made,
including the droppifig'of the administra
tive portion of the bill. It is said that
the republican managers made a definite
proposal to Senator JHtirris to vote upon
the bill on June 25. and that Senator Har
ris declined, as he believed the bill could
be passed sooner than that date. There
are other democratic senators still nego
tiating and it may be possible that a date
can be fixed. *

Augusta Herald:. A .ghost, or whatever she
might be. has been seen three separate and
distinct times, and even chased by policemen.
It is a Iddy in a white flowing gown that ap
pears periodically in the territory lying be
tween Marbury and Jackson and Jones and
tbe river bonk. She is reported as walking
leisurely along in a most ’Mary Andefson
eAque” manner, and no matter how fleet the
pursuers may be she is sure to escape
around some corner .before capture can
be. effected. Unlike .other ghosts, this lady
leaves a track that has been examined by
two policemen, who say that it is very small,
yet the woman who makes it is of ordinary
size. Policemen walking ‘beat” No. 8 have
seen this woman three times and each ‘time;
she has escaped before, they could get nearer
than fifty yards. Taking into consideration
the fact, that her ladyship leaves a track and
showed other things in connection with these
the only way that the apparition can be
accounted for is that seme lady is walking in
her slqepmr putting up a hbax.

Palm Beach Gazetteer: ThA oldest trees on
the coast are at Miami: very tall with even
sized trunk all the wiy up The heavy lump
at or near the ground is only on young trees
and grows out. We don t know who set out
these trefts. but possibly when the place was
known as Fort Dallas by the soldiers
stationed there during the Indian war. The
old stone tarraebs are sthi standing, and
used as storage houses by vhe owner of the
place, Mrs. Tuttle. - Previous to them coming
into her possession they were useJ as the
court house for Dade county, and it was from
that the books were brought to Juno. There
are a dozen or more of the trees standing
near the water’s edge, at the mouth of the
Miami river and the„ bay. All around in the
woods near by are thousands of lime trees,
growing vigorously as the other growth and
bearing very well. No one seems to know
how or who started them.
Tavares Herald; An effort is making to se
cure an irrigating plant at this pla.e with a
sufficient capacity to supply fifteen hundred
or two thousand acres. The drought of the;
past spring was the severest we have known
for years and the effect on the orange and
vegetable crops has been most injurious. It
Is. In fact, doubtful If we shall have one-third
of a crop of oranges in this vicinity as the
young fruit have fallen by thousands. Those
groves that are irrigated are in superb con
dition and the trees are laden with fruit. A
remarkable illustration of the bene
fits of irrigation is to be seen at
Orange City, in Volusia county, where
groves irrigated aqd not irrigated stand side
•by side, the trees in the forrner of the most
lustrous green and full of young ft-uft, while
those of the latter are dried, yellow and will
have scarcely any fruit on. them. No better
investment could be made than in an. Irrigat
ing plant here. Probably (as at Orhnge City)
for the first two years there would be no
profit, but we are certain that within five
years after its establishment the plant would
pay a larger dividend on the money invested
than almost any other enterprise in South
Florida.

Angel Fniggross, a Cuban cigarmaker,
languishes in the county jail at Tanipii. At 3
o’clock Saturday morning, and as Policeman
Charles Arnau was walking down the street
by the big cigar factory of Sanchez & Haya,
in Ybor City, the policeman smelled kerosene
oil, and, on looking about, saw a man dodge
behind the corner of the back part of the
building, The policeman pursued and cap
tured him. Investigation showed that Pnig
gross had potired kerosene oil on the. floor of
the porch and on the walls, and was just
ready to strike a match to it. He had a pre
liminary hearinj before Judge Brockway and
was locked up. Insanity will be his plea.
Pniggross had bought a lot from the firm twt>
years ago. and. being unable to pay for it, he
lost it. This is the cause of his attempted
crime. Had Arnau been a few minutes later
in appearing one of the largest cigar factories
in the city would have been burned to the

fishermen of that place went out on the dock
and began tishing for sharks. They did not
have to wait long. however,
for with a swish and ’ a whin
the dong line suddenly straightened out
and the fishermen had.-aH do to
prevent their big catcfi.ftbni dragging them,
in. For halt an hour they played the shark
and a right lively time they hud of it too.
Finally the big fellow got tired and they
warped him up to the dock and with the aid
of ropes got him upon the flooring. He was
found to be a big one and about ten to twelve
feet long. He had a wicked ' smile'’ when hq
opened his mouth, and those present con
gratulated themselves that they did not have
to encounter such an antagonist In the water
while bathing.
From letters received from different elec

and his movements excited her suspicions.
She went out into the yard and saw the man
run into the house. He took a trunk con
taining J6OO. She ran toward the house, but
just as she reached the door a gun was tired,
and a bullet struck her on one side, coming
out of the other. The man escaped. A posse
of mountaineers was at once formed and ha
was tracked around Hogback mountain

house of Van Burwell. Col. Plumely says

knew that He. had money in the house. The
mountaineers say that if Mrs. Plumley dies
the man who fired the shot will never get out
of the mountains alive. ‘

Said to be Involved.

in the chain of evidence which they ah
ready have in their'possession, the boink
throwing on Walker street which demol
ished the house, of George Martin and
chine near killing the three occupants, a
week ago. will develop a decided sensa
tion. The investigations of the detectives,
who have been spurred on by the SI,OOO
reward outstanding, have disclosed the
fact that there is a woman in the care, a
handsome young married woman. This

of Jim Slemmons, the man
arrested for the bomb throwing

peculiar one. The detectives, who gained
their clue from the woman involved, have
a strong case, backed by circumstantial
evidence, against the bomb thrower,
whose object was revenge., but cannot
make an arrest until they get proof thalj
will convict in court. .
