HE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1902. IN NEGRO HALL WHITES WILL NOTMEET LABOR DELEGATES SAY THEY WILL HOLD SESSION IN THE WOODS BEFORE SUBMITTING TO SELMA’S ACTION. SELMA. Ala., April 23.—The Alabama State Eederation of Labor met In Its sec ond annual session here this morning at 10 o'clock, with all of its officers present and a small number of delegates. The meeting was called to order by the president, William Kirkpatrick, who made a few opening remarks, stating the ob ject and purpose of the meeting, after which a committee was appointed on cre dentials and one for the purpose of se curing a more convenient hall to hold the session in. Upon this motion came up the color question, not that any delegates seemed to want to exclude any of the negroes present, but to express some surprise that the citizens of Selma had seemingly failed to provide a hall, owing to the fact that there would be colored delegates on the floor. Mr. McCartney, of Typographical union No. 104. stated that he favored the mo tion because it would present the oppor tunity of ascertaining whether or not the people of Selma would turn down the rep resentative body of 40.000 organized la borers, and If turned down it would cast a slur upon the city that would go all over the country. "Rather than see one accredited dele gate. black or white, thrown out of this convention I would go to the woods and hold this meeting. Beans, the colored vice president, and upon whose invitation the federation met in Selma, stated that he had gone to the board of revenue and to other citizens trying to get a hall. "They will give you a hall gladly for your meetings, but it will have a white cloth at the door.” Delegate Randall, of Birmingham, said if the people of Selma refused to give them a hall they would go out in the woods where the music of the birds would be an accompaniment to their pro ceedings.

NEW YORK, April 23.—The cotton market opened quiet and steady with prices 2 points hibher to one point lower, this being an In different response to Liverpool cable* and spot market news from the south. The trade was bearlshly disposed in view of May offerings by commission houses, whose constituents feared “notices” on Friday and preferred to seek more distant options. Short fceillng and absence of healthy speculative support allowed July to settle so 912 and August to 8.92. But before the close of the firs* hour the shorts were i frightened to cover by persistent advances in the English market and by a firmer ruling of the New Orleans market. Southern and European buying came to the aid of the bulls ahd a rise to 9.17 for July and to 8.94 for August followed. A light estimate for tomor row’s Houston receipts and more bullish pre dictions as to the showing of next Friday's week end statistics, helped the market. Trad ing. however, was not particularly active. At midday the cotton market was firm in tons with prices net 3 to 4 points higher at 89.22 for May. 39.17 for July and |8.9« for August. Shorts were disturbed by reports that the large exports were in order from New York this week and the cotton would be taken from the ware house stock Savannah estimated this week’s exports at 17,000 bales. Spot cotton was firm with prices unchanged on the basis of 914 c tor middling uplands and 9%c for middling gulf. NEW YORK COTTON. The following were the ruling prices in the exchange today: .

April 23.—G00d cables came to hand this morning but this failed to stimulate speculation although prices opened 1 to 2 points higher. Sales were on a limited scale and it looked as If some new fsature is necessary to revive interest. The underlying feeling is one of confidence in a higher market but It is * question how long a firns will be required be fore the upward movement is resumed. The mainstay at present, is the excellent trade re ports despite the bear attempts to belittle the condition of business among southern where there are hints of excessive supplies of raw materials in some districts. Prices were 3 points higher during the morning. Cables showed a slight advance with the tone very steady. Receipts at the ports 10,000. against 12,000 last year. The weekly government report by states was without special feature beyond the statement that germination is unsatisfac tory in South Carolina. Thus far the crop on the whole may be said to be doing quite well, but it would be unwise for either side to make calculations for opinions in what the crop may or may not do later on. Old timers insist that that state cannot possibly make a bumper crop next year because of the protracted drouth for months and months, bo matter how copious may be the rains and how well distributed from now on. Bulls are expecting numerous reports to come tn the course of time as to re duced acreage, reduced sales of fertilizers and scarcity of labor as well as of seed, all of Which may or may not be realized. Grain and Provision*.. CHICAGO. April 23 —ln spite of the govern ment report that fairly good rains had fallen over most of the wheat and corn region the bulls In grains started prices on the upward trend at the opening today because of their views of the weather situation. Crop reports generally maintain that additional rains are needed to save the crop of winter wheat and as these had not fallen shorts covered and commission houses bought heavily. Cables also were strong and together with the light re ceipts had a bullish influence. Trade early was rather heavy and the selling was only of a scattered nature. May started H to He up. at 74% to 75c, and easily advanced to 75%c. Local receipts were 26 cars; Minneapolis and Duluth reported 109 cars, making a total for tne three points of 135 cars, against 144 last week and 286 a year ago. Prices began to sag. establishing net losses of 1 to 2 points for Missouri Pacific, Rock Isl and. Illinois Central, Colorado and Southern and Kansas City Southern stocks, New York Central and woolen, preferred. Reading reacted 1%, St. Paul and Omoha dropped 6, but rallied 3. and Northwestern lost its 3-point rise. An advance of 1% by Tennessee Coal and a rise to 67 by Amalgamated Copper steadied the mar ket somewhat. x , Crop damage scares sent bulls to pushing prices upwards as the day advanced and the short crowd were nearly all pinched out of the market. Cash business was good and car wheat was reported scarce. Outside markets felt the need of sufficient rains and helped bull the market. Prices shot up in gains of %c with rapid jumps. May sold to 77 and every option closed strong and excited. May 2%c up at 76%c, July 2%c higher at 78%@78%c ,and Septerilber 2%c ad vanced at 78%c. Corn felt the general bullish Influences of wheat and stronger corn cables and at once developed a strong market. Renewed buying by the prominent bull crowd that started buy ing late yesterday frightened the shorts and accounts were hurriedly covered. Commis sion house demands were fair. May opened % to %c higher, at 62% to 62%c, and quickly sold to 63%c. Profit taking eased the market for a time, but later prices held firmly around 63c. Receipts were 63 cars. Bull enthusiasm struck the corn pit shortly after the opening hour. Wall street was said to be under the market and especially when it was seen that the big bull crowd was buying largely. May soared quickly and closed very strong 2%c up, at 64%c. Oats were much stronger at the opening, feeling the buovancy in wheat and corn. Trade was quiet but offerings were restricted, owing to fears over the weather effects on the grow ing crop. May opened %c higher, at 43%c, and at once jumped to 43%c. Receipts were 75 cars. Opening business in provisions was light but the tone was improved aided by the firmness of grains and a steady hog market at the yards. Products were not offered freely and packers supported pork to some extent. Scalpers were fair sellers. May pork opened 5c up. at 816.45, and advanced to 816.52; May lard 5c higher, at 89.72%, and May ribs 2%©5c higher, at 89.07%. CHICAGO QUOTATIONS.

After talking for 30 minutes he had the audience In a hila rious mood, and all at once he jumped into the gubernatorial campaign, and for a few minutes he “made the fur fly.” After a few minutes one Dr. Curtis, re cently from north Georgia, arose and said He 'nad not paid to hear a political speech. Mr. Jones turned to the manager. Profes sor Gull Hams, and asked him if his lec ture was acceptable. Professor Guilliams replied that it was entirely so, and to proceed. The audience also shouted tq go on. Mr. Jones proceeded to roast the Terrell gang and whisky ring. Dr. Curtis arose a sec ond time and declared that he was a pro hibitionist, but he did not like to hear Mr. Terrell denounced. “I have not denounced Mr. Terrell. I have said all along that Mr. Terrell Is a nice man. but I’m against the crowd he runs with; furthermore, you are the strangest prohibitionist I ever had to attack me for denouncing whisky and the whisky ring. Douglas deserves a blue rib bon for bringing you out.” At this juncture a lady arose in the au dience and announced that Dr. Curtis was not a citizen of Douglas. Mr. Jones said, "Douglas disowns him.” At this Colonel W. W. McDonald a strong Terrell supporter, arose and avow ed that Dr. Curtis had recently become a citizen of Douglas, and that he himself did not pay to hear a political speech. Mr. Jones replied, "Then, you must quar rel with the manager here, for he told me to go on. Furthermore, what have you got to do with this lecture?” "Notlflng,” said Colonel McDonald. "Then, you sit down. Bud,” said Mr. Jones, whereupon Colonel McDonald and four others marched out of the hall. As they went Mr. Jones said: "Now, wait just one minute. All who endorse what I have said here rise.” The audience rose almost to a man. "Now you can go ahead. Bud,” said Mr. Jones. "You see how hopelessly you are in the minority.” The audience cheered wildly, and Mr. Jones went ahead with his lecture. ■•BBOWROrPUIYS WOC WITH TREES IN ONE ORCHARD 30,000 TREES ARE AFFECTED AND WILL NOT A CARLOAD OF PEACHES. MACON, April 23.—Reports from Col. John M. Stubbs’ orchards in Laurens county indicate that the brown rot has played havoc among his fruit trees, and he says he and State Entomologist Scott have reached the conclusion that his 30,000 trees will not yield a carload of peaches this year. But Messrs. Samuel H. Rumph, E. J. Willingham and W. C. Wright, three of the leading growers of the Marshallville and Fort Valley sections, say that the sunshine of the last ten days has enabled them to check the brown rot which the March rains seemed to have developed, and there is no more of the disease in their orchards now than they have had in years past. They expect as good yields from their orchards thia year as they had last year.

DEATH DARED BY TO ON TRIP EXPLORERS ARE MAKING TRIP OVERLAND FROM PARIS TO NEW YORK IN FACE OF MANY GRAVE PERILS. LONDON. April 22.—Letters were receiv ed yesterday from Harry DeWlndt. the leader of the expedition which is attempt ing to make its way overland from Paris to New York, dated Vlrkhoyansk, East Liberia, at the end of February. In spite of the forebodings of the officials of the Yakutsk, who strongly urged DeWlndt not to continue his journey, saying the conditions were worse this year than ever, the expedition reached Verlahoyansk, six hundred miles north of Yakutsk. February 28th. The members of the expedition had * terrible experience while crossing th* Verkhoyansk mountains. The cold was In tense, 63 degrees below zero being register ed. All the travelers were frostbitten. Otherwise they were well and in good spirits and were leaving the same day for Sradna Tomsk, East Siberia, 900 miles further on, which the party hoped to reach about the middle of March. Then it was their intention to push on 1,500 miles to East Cape, on Behring strait. Probably the next news of the expedition will be its arrival in the United States via Behring strait. DeWlndt mentions a report that Baron Toll's expeditionary ship Seari* was stranded on the Siberian islands, with only seven tons of coal on board. Advices from St. Petersburg, December It, 1901, said that Baron Toll, who is th* leader of an important expedition to ex plore New Siberia, telegraphing from Yakutsk, announced that his winter quar ters had been established on the Nerpen skaye coast. In the neighborhood of Lena Delta, and that an observation station had been opened at Kotelnys island. The Toll bxpedltion intended to circumnavi gate the Siberian islands.

Judge Candler dis-, posed of every case which was to come before the criminal court of Fulton county before he left. The most important case he tried was that of Mrs. Mollie E. Dun can, charged with the murder of her husband, and which he declared a mis trial. He said yesterday that he was sorry that he had been compelled to declare a mistrial in this case, but that as two of the jurymen had left the jury box and were trying to aid Mrs. Duncan when she fainted, and the other* were more or less affected by the scene, he could, under the law, do nothing else. He will re turn to Atlanta as soon as he finishes in Emanuel county, and will convene hl* court here on the second Monday in June. ALICE ROOSEVELT” TO SAIL IN THE AIR WASHINGTON, D. C.. April M.—The report that Miss Alice Roosevelt, the president's daughter, is to take a ride in the air ship of Bantoe Dumont is not fle nied today at the white house. The re port comes in the shape of an interview from the.celebrated aerial navigator, who says: - "Miss Alice Roosevelt has my promise that she is to be the first woman to rid* in a Santos Dumont airship. Thursday I was tendered a dinner by the Brazilian minister in Washington; at my side I found Miss Roosevelt, and I commented on her father's desjre to go up in one. “ 'Will you take me up in your balloon?* she asked. ”1 jestingly replied that she would b* the first woman to ride in a Santo* Du mont air ship, and she said: " ‘I will hold you to your prom!**.’ soldier Twill co TO PUinSBURG BARRACKS I DETACHMENT OF THE TWENTY* THIRD, NOW AT FT. M’PHER SON, EXPECT ORDERS ’ TO LEAVE JUNE 1. The detachment of the Twenty-thlri United States infantry, now stationed at. Fort McPherson, near Atlanta, will be or dered in the next few days to leave on June Ist for Plattsburg Barracks, New York, which Is the headquarters of th* regiment. .. The order has not as yet been issued and it is not known in Washington except in official circles that the Fort McPherson companies are to be ordered away, but the necessary papers will doubtless be issued in a very few days. News of the contemplated order has been received at the post, it is understood, and the officers are preparing to execute it a* soon as it arrives. There will be much regret in Atlanta if the detachment now at the post is ordered away. The officers have become very well known in Atlanta and have made a number of friends here, who will learn with regret of their contemplated de parture. It Is not known what detachment or what regiment will be ordered to McPher son to preserve the'barracks for the regi ment that will occupy it at least for a time after the war is over, but it is not improbable that the detachment which comes will be a part of some regiment that has lately returned from duty in th* Philippines or which has performed some other arduous work in order to give the men the benefit of the quiet life that ob tains at the barracks near this city.
