THE LATEST BY WIRE GIVING the news up TO THE hour of going to press. Brief Mention of Daily Happenings Throughout the World. The strike situation in New Orleans has assumed a serious phase and a race war is threatened. Governor Flower, of New York, started ont Monday upon his six days of political campaigning through the state. Governor Waite, of Colorado, spoke to a crowd of 10,000 people on the lake front, in Chicago, Sunday, in behalf of the populist candidates. A special of Monday says: It has been snowing steadily at Red Cliff, CoL, for twenty-fonr hours. At Gold Park Mining camp, two and a half feet of snow has fallen. At Greenwood, S. C., while a crowd of negroes were going home from church Sunday night they were fired into by parties concealed In a railroad cut. One man was killed, one woman shot in three places, and another nRn hit. An investigation is now going on. The auditor has concluded the ex¬ amination s of the afiairs of the Normal Park Loan Association at Sprinfield, Ill., of which the late F. W. Porter was secretary, Porter also having been the auditor of the Rock Island rail¬ road. The examination developed the fact that Porter was a defaulter to the sum of $23,000. A special from Iron Mountain, Mich., says: The work of rescuing the imprisoned miners at the Pewabic wan accomplished between 6 and 7 o’clock Monday morning, and they were hoisted to the surface without % mark, after having been entombed more than forty-three hours. There is great rejoicing in the community. Mrs. Mary A. Woodbridge, corre sponding secretary of theW. C. T. U., died at Chicago Monday. Mrs.Wood bridge was known as Miss Willard’s right arm, and her death is the direct result of overwork. The disease from which she died is termed embolism, Her health was exceedingly good up to a few days ago, and she died before her friends realized that Bhe was really The case against Dispensary Con¬ stable CaiD, charged with murder in the Darlington riots, was nolle prossed Monday by the solicitor in Darling¬ ton, S. C., because he was satisfied from the McLendon trial that no spy wonld be convicted by the Tillmanites composing the jury. So ends the at¬ tempt to bring to jnstioe the murder¬ ers of some of Darlington’s best cii izeus. United States Senator Gibson was made the victim of a decided snnb at a democratic mass meeting at his home at Easton, Md. The meeting was completely captured by the anti-Gib sonites, and though the senator was present, he kept his seat in the audi¬ ence, and was not even invited to the platform. To make the Blight more pronounced, the meeting elected anti Gibson officers. Charles Morganfield, the alleged train robber, is making a fight at Cin¬ cinnati against the Adams Express Company t<? recover the money taken from him at the time h$ was arrested. It is claimed that the express company cannot identify the money as ever having belonged to them. Morgan field’s attorneys say they are armed with abundant proof that their client was not engaged in the robbery. J. J. Porter k Co., wholesale dealers in millinerv and notions at Pittsburg, Pa., were entirely bnrned out Monday. The fire started shortly after 9 o’clock and it took the entire fire department at hard work to keep the flames con¬ fined to the Porter building. Porter k Co.’a loss on stock is $20,000. The bniiding, whioh was owned by B. E. Jones, the iron manufacturer, and val¬ ued at $50,000, waa almost entirely de¬ stroyed. Lundberg’s variety theater, at St. Iiouis, waa destroyed by fire Monday morning. The flames spread to an ahio adjoining boarding honse, and this was burned. In the boarding honse ' several rescued with dif¬ persons were ficulty. The found body of Albert Shaw, He a porter, waa in a rear room. bad been suffocated by smoke. Two women were found unconscious in an¬ other room, but were revived soon af¬ terward* The money loos was small. Fire broke out late Sunday night in tiie freight warehouse of the Bridge aad Terminal railway in East St. Loom. The fire spread to the of freight can on both sides the ware¬ house and burned itself out for want of material. The warehouse filled with hay, ootton and grain. Over 200 loaded and empty ears were burned.

In fire at Seattle, Wash., early Saturaay morning in a West street house, at the corner of Columbia and West streets, sixteen persons lost their lives and several others were injured, The following itf a list of the transient guests as shown by the register taken from the burning building: “ As.....Weston, F.

Chase, William McNair, John Kingson, city;M. G. Dednckson.Port Blakely. A. G. Buttler, a brother of the proprietor, is missing. A number were badly injured. Immediately after the fire charred bodies were recovered. The saddest sight of all was found in the inBide room off the passageway which led to West street, There, calmly lying in a charred and blackened bed was evidently a whole family, The father lay on one side, the wife next to him and a little burned and black¬ ened arm, the flesh falling in shreds from it and the small fingers clutched, showed that a little child was among the victims. Crouched in a corner of a small in¬ side room two charred and naked skel etons met the gaze. The flesh was burned from each, and the first, that of a man with blackened stumps of arms, seemed to be lighting an im pending danger. Immediately behind bim, also bolt upright and clutching bis waist, was the skeleton of a wo man. The eyes were burned from the sockets of each, but even then one could easily imagine the look of hor for, the deadly fear which clung to the ill-fated couple as they fought with an unseen foe. There were about twenty transient guests registered, and Night Clerk Butler cays *,he hotel had about twenty permanent guests. It is absolutely known that sixteen persons perished and the next few hours may add largely to the terrible death. TRADE TOPICS. R. G. Dun & Co.’s Report of Business for the Past Week. R. G. Dun & Co. ’s review of trade for the past week says: “Engrossing political exoitement in many of the states causes a natural slackening in some kinds of business. But, on the whole, business indications are rather more favorable than they were last week. Gold exports hale ceased, while a number of mills have gone into oper¬ ation, and the demand for products, if not equal to that of prosperous years, is better than it has been most of the time this year. The prices of farm products do not improve much, and there are still some strikes to resist redaction of wages, so that the pur¬ chasing power of the people cannot have materially increased, bat there is a more hopeful spirit which prompts greater activity. On the other hand, the reeord of past transactions are somewhat less favorable of late. It is interesting that, in spite of the low price of the principal southern crop, manufacturers and wholesale dealers report rather more improvement in trade'with the south than with any other section. “In iron and steel the west shows weakness, while eastern markets show more encouragement. Nothing of consequence is doing in rails, the deliveries for the year to Octo¬ ber 1st being only 510,000 tons, mnoh below ordinary requirements for re¬ newals. In stractnrsl works some moderate contracts are reported, but bar iron is extremely doll, and it # is stated that the low prices reported last week—95 cents for iron and $1 for steel—have been shaded in some trans¬ actions. There is a decline in wire nails, $1.90 being quoted for galvan¬ ized barbed and $22.50 for wire rod* The beat feature ia that the heavy in¬ crease in the output of pig does not yet seem to overload the market, and there are rather leas signs of pressure to sell them of late.” The Women Will Vote. The registration of women in Den¬ ver is almost as large ae that of men. The total number of names entered on the books which are now closed is 61,- 500. The registration in the county will exceed 70,000. Should 70 per cent of these registered votes be odbt at tiie next election, it will be consid¬ erably more than twice as great aa it was two years ago, when the total vote was 22,975. Fall River Stride Ended. Secretary Whitehead, of the Weav¬ ers’ Association at Fall River, says that the strike will be deelared off at The weavers, at a special meet¬ ing held ia the Academy of Mueie Monday morning, voted almost unani¬ mously to declare the strike off For Equal Ri g ht s. con over the a COMBINE WANTED < WHEREBY FARMERS MAY DlC TATE THE PRICE OF COTTON. Letter from John Roddey to Southern Cotton Planters. The Columbia, S. C tl State prints the following from John T. Roddey, member of the New York cotton ex change and a son of a wealthy South Carolinian. He has for some time been advocating some concerted action by southern farmers: To the thinking farmers of the south —For the past two years I have made cotton commissions my business, and daily have I witnessed the downward tendency of your product. Ifyoiiwill think for a moment, you will realize the fact that though you are the pro ducers of this country and should be the most independent, yet you are the most dependent people in America. “Why? Because there are combi¬ nations on nearly everything you nAe. The manufacturers of the north com bine on everything and say what it shall bring, while yon sell your prod uct for whatever they are willing to pay you. Why cannot you protect your cotton in the same way? “I should like, if it meets your ap proval, to organize a trust company Trust called the Southern Farmers’ Company, for the purpose of protect¬ ing your product from the depressing and influences of speculators, spinners capitalists, and provide a means by which you oan name the price for your product, instead of having the price dictated to you, as is now the case. I feel satisfied this can be done by form¬ ing a trust, which would be able to handle most of the cotton you grow. t‘Let the capital stock be $50,000, 000 to $100,000,000, subscribed en¬ tirely by the farmers of the south and divided into as many shares as may be necessary and small enough for every cotton planter to subscribe. Let each farmer take stock to his utmost capac¬ ity and support the trust in every pos¬ sible way. “In case you receive 10 cents for your ootton, instead of 5 cents, whicjji yon are now receiving, bides you save on m crop of 8,000,000 about $200, 000,000, at least twice as much as the capital stock of the trust company. In case speculators sho d become fright¬ ened even at the mention of the trust and advance the price of cotton, so mnch the better for you, but very like¬ ly they would attempt at first to bluX yon. it is time to act. “I think now What benefits the farmer or laborer unquestionably benefits all classes. If snch a plan should meet your ap¬ proval, I would be more than glad to meet a representative alliance, cotton either grower in from each state or New York or in some southern city, to Bee if something cannot be done to bring abont some benefit to the south. Something mast be done or your lands will not be worth cultivating. John T. Roddey.” The Stomp Robbers Caught. William A. Beach and H. Olay Sin sabangh, who are charged with being accomplices in the recent stamp rob¬ bery in Washington, were arrested at Columbia, S. 0., Monday night. McLendon Acquitted. A special from Darlington, S. 0., says that at 11:30 Saturday night the jnry brongbt in a verdict of acquittal of the dispensary constable, McLen doD. of murder. ATLANTA MARKETS. CORRECTED WEEKLY.

A lineal desendant of Peregrine White, the first white ohild born in New England, she having been born within the limits of Cape Cod on board the Mayflower, November 20, 1620, (O. 8.), is living in Clinton, Mass.

Though animals are classed as car¬ nivorous and gram ini vorus, says Mee¬ han’s Monthly, it is being demonstra¬ ted that many, equally with man, oc¬ casionally mix their food. Even canines in a perfectly wild condition have been known to diet on Indian corn, when animal food has been scarce. Among birds many woodpeckers, tbongh they have a structure specially adapted to predation on insects, are fond of vegetable sweets, and the Bal¬ timore oriole may be often seen search¬ ing flowers for nectar. Th*e sap suck¬ ers’ holes in many trees are well known, though those who hold to the strict lines between tbe herbivore and car¬ nivora contend that the holes are bored in search of insects, which the experience i entomologist knows are not there. The lover of natural his¬ tory is well aware of many instances in which one creature manages to lire on the labor of another, and a corre¬ spondent of Science speaks of the aid to the humming bird of whioh this reference to the sap sucker reminds one. He says the holes these birds make in the sngar birches and maples are frequented later on by the hum¬ ming bird, which makes a rich repast on the sagary liquid which flows from the holes.

Squandered the Cleve land Surplus and Juggled Ac counts to Conceal the Empty Treasury —That the New Tariff Brought Prosperity. Ex-President Harrison recently de livered a speech in Mr. Wilson’s dis trict in which he said: “If depression; you have felt the effects of the if you think more of these effects and prefer not to lead the country through the slough of despondency, show it by defeating Wilson McKinley and Sherman also declare that the hard times, which began a year bsT--—“ and a half ago, were due to d ,ho Never before did “statesmen” 1b rnTSrlh £ riite5^Le th o7afr lightened Nation.

He knew that the Sherman Silver must result in I a panic. He knows, ™ as does Sherman, who voted to abolish panic was precipitated by the fear of capitalists that gold would go to ? to P r^T(mTn00 com $4,000,000 of oViilvL°a stiver a mnntS month we would soon drop to a silver be sis. He knows that tariff reform was too far away to have had any material ef¬ fect in starting the depression. He may not know the cause of the period¬ ical panios that effeot not only this oountry, but the whole world, about every ten years, but he does know, or ought to know, that the fear of “free trade” was not, at any time, one of the principal causes of the prolonged depression. He knows that his Secretary in tended and prepared to issue bonds to replenish tJnoertainty the Treasury. as to what duties would be levied undoubtedly aggravated and perhaps prolonged the depression, Reed has too muoh common sense to declare that a tariff bill, that brought prosperity with It, osused a panio a year before it was born. He said, ip his New York speech, of October 18 : “Nobody can oharge this (depression) fairly to the terms of the tariff whioh used to exist. What caused this dis aster everybody knows who ha. any business sense. It was the utter un oertainty, the Appalling doubt as to what would happen to us.” Reed is muoh too rough on the Democrats, but is not so demagogical as MoKinley and Harrison. How little Senator Allison believes of this talk is evident from the fact that he has re cently adopted the tariff for revenue plank of the Democratic platform. Perhaps the responsibility for hard times has never been more clearly fixed than by Thos. G. Sherman in bis speech in Paterson, N. " J., early in 1898. Heseid: - What laws are In force?
