The backwardness of the cotton crop
is being felt some by the inland steam*
boats, which have brought very little
cotton to Savannah since the opening
of the new season. Light freights are
looked for, however, even when the
time for an active movement comes,
because of the prospective light cotton
yield on both sides of the river between
here and Augusta. Speaking of the out
look yesterday a steamboat man said:
“The inland lines generally look to
cotton for much of their fall freight,
but according to our information the
crop will be a short one along riv
er, hence the movement will be re
stricted. It seems strange that favor
able crop reports should come from the
interior of Georgia and South Carolina,
ar.d that the yield should be restricted
in the river sections. Unless the pro
duction in other parts of the country is
large it may be that the lesser yield in
the river country may be a slight help
in stimulating higher prices.
Tlie Steamboat Two States.
The boilers for the steamboat Two
States, which is being built for the Sa
vannah River Steamboat Company, are
suposed to be on the way to Savannah.
The Two States is at Rourke & Sons'
docks, where work is being done on
her. She will remain there until the en
gines arrive. They will be delivered at
Rourke's wharves, and set up in the
r.ew boat promptly. Until recently it
was expected to have the boat in com
mission by Sept. 15, but it has since
been found that she will probably not
be ready for service before Oct. 1. This
will not inconvenience the company,
however, as the lateness of the cotton
crop in this section relieves them from
engagements for awhile which they at
first thought they would have to pro
vide tor. When finished the Two States
will be a model carrier. The builders
are not after speed particularly, but
they hope to have her make a satisfac
tory schedule for the company's pa
trons.
Within the next few days work will
be begun at Norfolk on a $1,000,000
shipbuilding plant, which is to be own
ed jointly by the Trigg Company, of
Richmond, a large shipbuilding firm oi
Philadelphia, and another plant of
Bath. Me., which constructs sailing
vessels. It is repo: ted that the Phila
delphia company interested is the
Cramps and that the Sewalls are the
Bath company in the deal.
The site of the plant is within the
city limits adjoining Old Fort Norfolk,
where 30 acres have been purchased at
a cost of $50,000 and options are held
on 150 acres more. The scheme has been
on foot for several months, ever since
the Security Company of New York
purchased the land from Gen. V. D.
Groner. AIL the contracts for building
the plant have been made, and the con
tractors have let subcontracts.
The Society of Merchants and Indus
trials of Berlin has addressed a cir

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW'.
Stocks Closed Depressed—Cotton and
Wheat Lower.
The overshadowing event of the
week was the attempted assassination
of President McKinley at Buffalo on
Friday afternoon. Stocks were natu
rally the most violently affected, the
market going almost into a panic on
Saturday, prices slumping an average
of .some five points with- nearly 1,000,003
shares sold in the two hours. Even this
is better than many had feared, but it
'must be remembered that there are
strong grounds for hoping that the
President may happily recover from his
injuries, and also that the public was
too much absorbed by feelings of in
dignation and dismay over the dastard
ly outrage to allow the market to feel
the full force of the far-reaching ef
fects of such a calamity. Certainly the
untimely death of the nation’s chief
executive, could hardly fail to exert a
far more demoralizing influence than
that expressed in Saturday’s moderate
flurry. Saturday's bank statement was
again unfavorable, showing a loss of
$10,000,000 in cash, and $6,250,000 in the
surplus reserves. The outlook does not
appear to favor the bulls, but sharp
rallies will reflect the popular gratifi
cation over favorable bulletins from the
wounded President.
Cotton broke sharply in the bureau
report which appeared Monday, and
gave the condition as 71.4. By Tuesday,
January had fallen to 7.63 c, a loss of 38
points. A lally to 7.84 followed on
Thursdays, but the market turned a
little weaker again, and closed at 7.72 c.
Crop reports continue to get worse,more
especially from Texas, where they are
sensationally bad Furthermore, the
bureau report by no means justifies
such a bearish interpretation as indi
cated by the weakness of the market,
for the obvious reason that it gave the
condition only up to Aug. 24. against
the date of Sept. 1, last year. Probably
the crop fell off as much during the
last week of August as it did all the
rest of the month put together; and
if 71.4 was correct on Aug. 24/ about
61.4 w ould be nearly correct now, that
is two weeks later.
A year ago this review estimated the
crop at 10,250,000 to 10,500.000 bales, and
never varied from those figures, the re
sult is just about midway between the
two extremes. It is difficult to estimate
this year’s thus early, owing to its
backwardness, but it may at least be
said that the present prospect Is for
a total little if any larger than last
year.
Wheat was quiet, and mostly a little
lower, owing mostly to free movement
of the new crop, and consequent in
crease of the existing small stocks. De
cember closed about lc lower at 70Uc.
Wheat is low enough to buy, especially
if external Influences cause an imme
diate further decline.

CLOTH MARKET FEVERISH.
Lncertalnty In Cotton Situation
Sends It Up and Down.
Manchester, Sept. B.—The market
during the week past has been feverish
and unsettled, owing to the uncertain
ties of the cotton situation. Actual
business in yarns and cloths has been
meager.
The decline of the first half of the
week, and the subsequent recovery
alike militated against operations. Un
til there shall be some stability ,n
cotton a serious resumption of business
is doubtful. It is admitted that, the sta
tistical position in Liverpool is such
as to justify higher rates in the imme
diate future. Supplies are not coming
forward sufficiently well to relieve the
market.
On the other hand, the position of the
cloth market is very different from

BANKER CLEWS’ VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.
New York, Sept. 7.—There is a decid
ed difference of opinion about the fu
ture of the stock market. A great deal
of talk Is heard about important pend
ing deals and the determination of the
big holders .to put the market higher.
These rumors may and may not be
true. That negotiations of great im
portance are still going on is very
likely, Wecause some of the plans in
augurated last spring were materially
checked by the Northern Pacific crash,
by the steel strike and the corn crop
damage. Presumably these negotia
tions will soon be pushed to completion
because of the financial advantage to
the participating corporations; and,
when conditions permit, the securities
of these corporations will reflect such
advantages in probably higher prices.
Until the community of interest idea
has been extended to all the railroads
of the country, we may expect to hear
of such movements, and no doubt spec
ulation will eventually be greatly stim
ulated thereby. Moreover, the rail
roads entering such arrangements are
reaping the benefit of better rates,
which in many cases are yielding much
larger gross earnings in spite of fre
quent losses in tonnage.
A good deal of talk is heard about
the big holders combining to put up
tthe /market. Their power to do so
will hardly be questioned; but they
will probably take a more favorable
opportunity than the present, and are
very unlikely to take the public Into
their confidence in advance. Later on
we may see a rise, but for the present
we advise selling on the rallies and
buying only on the pronounced de
clines.
Earnings of the Central.
The earnings of the Central of Geor
gia Railway for the week ending the
fourth week of August were $210,343.
against $174,606 last year, and $1,159,045
from July 1 to the end of the fourth
week, against $1,020,360 for the corre
sponding period last year.
BOOK NOTICES.
' Autobiography of Arab,” by E. Prio
leau Henderson, Walterboro, S. C. This
volume can be obtained for $1 by ap
plying to the author at the foregoing
address. The book is extremely inter
esting and is attractively bound. The
autobiography Is that of Arab, a horse
that carried the author through the
war between the states. What the
horse did and what his rider said dur
ing the eventful years of that war
make a story that will be read with
absorbing Interest. In a letter to the
author in respect to the autibiography
Mr. M. C. Butler. Sr., says. ‘1 was
very much gratified to learn from your
letter that you contemplated publish
ing in book form your Autibiography
of Arab,’ the fine little war horse that
carried you so many miles during the
campaign in Virginia and elsewhere in
the late war between the states. I re
member the horse perfectly, and if you
tell, in your biography of this remark
able animal one-half of what he saw
and did, with you as his rider and
constant companion, the world would
be incredulous—and yet it would be
true.” The foregoing shows the char
acter of the book, but Its absorbing
interest can only be understood by
reading It. Old soldiers on the South-

Magazines.
The American Illustrated Magazine
for September contains some very in
teresting articles. W. Scott King con
tributes “The Quest of Immortality—
Frederic W. H. Myers," being an ap
preciation of the late F. W. H. Mvers,
president of the Society for Psychical
Research, whose many contributions
to literature have given him enduring
fame. "Samoa, the Land of the Lotus-
Eaters,” by Hannah C. Storer, Is one
of a number of articles on the islands
of the Pacific and their inhabitants,
which will be continued througn sev
eral numbers. Samoan scenes attrac
tively illustrate the article. The six
teenth paper in the series of "Famous
Hymn Writers" is devoted to Eliza
beth Payson Prentiss, author of
"Stepping Heavenward,” in whose
pages so many aspiring young hearts
have found consolation. Religious
poetry has been enriched by many
contributions from her pen. Hymnol
ogy is indebted to Mrs. Prentiss for
“More Love to Thee, oh Christ."

r
“A Knight of the Highway,” Clin
ton Scollard’s romantic idyl of the
hop-fields, is published complete in
the September "New" Lippincott Mag
azine. This is a sweet—yet strong—
story of a man's regeneration through
a girl’s love and faith in him. and
makes a special appeal at this balmy
hop-harvest season, when hundreds of
men, women, and children in the up
per part of New York state are making
their living picking hops and reveling
in the pure, free air of the hills. Mrs.
Burton Harrison, whose distlngushed
name assures eager reading, contrib
utes a touching story of the Civil War.
It is entitled "Winwood's Luck.”
"What Happened After Mary McAr
thur Cut Her Finger” is the odd title
of a very good story by S. R. Crockett,
in which Scotch humor and pathos
abound, A lovely litlte sketch by a
young English writer. E. Ayrton, is
entitled "The Barbarous Babe." Paul
Laurence Dunbar's story, "The Inde
pendence of Silas Bollender,” is the
second "Ohio Pastoral." The first was
published in the August “New” Lip
pincott. but they are in no sense “con
tinued.” Each story deals with
phase of rural Ohio life, and the one
this month is about a county fair and
is both seasonable and amusing. "Mrs.
North” is written by a high official at
Washington, and is a scathing arraign
ment of a recent novel which deals
with Washington socail and official
life. These and many other articles
make up a very interesting number. J.

importing them, as at present.
Leaving the seed feature of the ques
tion alone, however, we have a market
here at home for thousands of bushels
of eating potatoes at prices ranging
from 75e to SI.OO per bushel during the
winter months. The Atlanta market
alone used between two and three car
loads a day last winter, at the above
figures.
One great beauty about these late
potatoes is the ease with which they
are kept. This gives us a longer pe
riod in which to market them, and en
ables us to sell them to better advan
tage.

crossing. Story has not yet been ar
rested.
To-morrow morning at 9 o'clock
Judge Sparks will reconvene Glynn
City Court and will dispose of some
important cases. The constitutionality
of the St. Simons Island prohibition
law is under fire, and the court will
probably pass upon it, in sustaining
or rejecting demurrers filed by coun
sel for defendants charged with sell
ing whisky on the island.
The state law probihlting the sale of
intoxicants on St. Simons Island has
often been referred to as unconstitu
tional, although no direct attack on it
has ever been made, and left for the
Supreme Court to pass upon. The law
was enacted to protect the good peo
ple of St Simons Island, who, without
it, would be left at the mercy of a
disreputable class of negro whisky sell
ers. who, as it is, sometimes evade jus
tice in selling liquor from blind tigers
in a notorious locality.
Judge Sparks will also hear further
to-morrow from the cases of D. R.
Ponder and Gilbert Williams. Under
pleas of guilty rendered at last week's
session of court for keeping lewd
houses in "The Acre” these defendants
were fined $250 each and given until
to-morrow morning to pay the fines.
This both of them will probably do, as
it is generally understood that, both of
them are worth considerable property
and have made a great deal of money
out of their "Acre" resorts.
Sol Gazaway, who has paid two fines
of $175 each during the past week for
running a gambling house and also a
lewd house, has moved from "The
Acre” and is conducting a plain mar
minus dance house and gambling ad
ditions. Gazaway. personally, is a
quiet, easy-going citizen and he seldom
appears in court. His personal conduct
has been such as to make him many
friends among the white people, and
these are pleased to note that he has
from his former “notorious sur
roundings.

The advent of the Birmingham and
Brunswick and Seaboard Air Line into

the boys up a great deal, and there
is a lively hustling for business on
now.
Mr. Sylvanus Littlefield, inventor of
the new steamboat propeller. Is mak

PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.
Secretary Hay Next In Line l*ter
Cnlonel Roosevelt.
Succession to the presidency ef the
United States in case of the death of
both President and Vice President is
settled by law.
This was provided for Jan. 19, 1886,
soon after the death of Vice President
Hendricks. Up to that time Congress
would have been obliged to decide who
should become chief executive should
the President and Vice President both
become incapacitated. The main fea
tures of the law of the presidential suc
cession are as follows:
In case of removal, death, resigna
tion or inability of both the President
and Vice President of the United
States cabinet officers are in the line
of succession in the following order:
Secretary of State.
Secretary of the Treasury.
Secretary of War.
Attorney General.
Postmaster General.
Secretary of the Navy.
Secretary of the Interior.
In this order they are to succeed and
act as President until the disability of
the President or Vice President is re
moved or a president shall be elected.
The law provides that when one of
the cabinet officers succeeds to the
presidency in the order named he shall
call a special session of Congress.
PENALTY FOR THE CRIME.
Slionld the President Recover. Maxi
mum Seuteuce Be Ten Yenrs.
From the New York Times.
President McKinley's recovery would
mean that his would-be assassin could
be confined in prison for ten years, the
maximum penalty under the Penal
Code of New York state. Two methods
of procedure could be adopted. The
prisoner could be arraigned before a
justice of Erie county, and he could
demand an examination, and would
have the right to counsel and time to
prepare his defense. The prisoner
could waive these formalities, and elect
to go before the grand Jury of Erie
county. The grand Jury could then find
an indictment for assault in the first
• under section 217 of the Penal
Code. This section states that:
"A person who, with intent to kill a
human being or to commit a felony
upon the person or the property of the
one assaulted, or of another, • • •

or any other deadly weapon, or by any
other means or force likely to produce
death. * * * is guilty of assault In
the first degree."
Section 229 of the penal code describes
the penalty as follows:
Assault in the first degree is punish
able by Imprisonment for a term not
exceeding ten years.
The assassination of Presidents Lin
coln and Garfield occurred in the Dis
trict of Columbia. For their crimes the
assassins were punishable under the
laws of the District of Columbia or the
United States laws.
An act of Congress prescribing a
penalty for offenses against the person
of the President or other United States
officials would, according to legal au
thorities, take precedence over the
penal code of the state of New York In
the rase of the man who made the at
tempt on President McKinley’s life. A
search of the United States statutes
since 1873 does not show that any such
enactment has been made by Congress.
It would not be possible to inflict any
greater punishment on the Anarchist
Nieman by any act of the Legislature
fixing a more severe penalty for an at
tempt on the life of the President.
The death of President McKinley
would result In the trial of Nieman for
homicide, and his conviction would
mean death In the electric chair.

Several months ago a workman at
tempted to kill the present Emperor
of Germany by hitting him in the head
with a piece of iron. The Kaiser only
was injured slightly.
Celebrated Similar Cases.
Mr. McKinley's abdominal wound Is
nearly in the same spot as the cele
brated wound received by Alexis St.
Martin. The bullet entered Mr. Mc-
Kinley's body five inches below the left
nipple and one and a half Inches to
the left of the median line. It went
clean through the stomach.
St. Martin was shot with a musket In
1822 at Mlchill, Mackinac. Mich. The
gun was discharged wltihn a yard of
his body, and the whole charge enter
ed his stomach, carrying with it parts
of his clothing and fracturing two ribs
and lacerating the stomach. At that
time antiseptic treatment of surgical
cases was unknown, and It was thought
St. Martin would die.
Dr. William Beaumont took charge
of the case and In a year had restored
St, Martin to perfect healt. The wound
never closed. It healed at the edges,
but left an opening about two and a
half Inches In diameter. Through
this opening the action of the gaatric
Juice on the foods could be watched.
