New Orleans, Sept. 28.—Cotton fu-
tures opened steady at an advance of
2 to 4 points on good cables. The
weather map was called favorable, as
temperatures were moderatt over the
cotton region and little rain was not-
ed. The forecast was not so favorable,
as rains were predicted for the east-
ern belt, while colder weather with
frost in Oklahoma was promised the
western belt. Shorts evened up over
Sunday and a moderate amount of
fresh long buying came in. At the
end of the first half hour of business
prices were 8 to 9 points over yester-
day’s final quotations.
The market had a very steady tone
throughout the short Saturday ses-
sion. Shorts were inclined ’ to cover
over Sunday on the threat of frost in
the extreme west, and there was little
cotton for sale from any source. Re-
ports from both Texas and the eastern
sections of the belt spoke of a beter
demand for spot cotton and a strength-
ening of the basis. The weekly sta-
tistics also had some effect on the

i Austin, Tex., Sept. 28.—The railroad
commission today issued an order con-

The introduction into the Korean
conspiracy trial of the names of sev-

among them Bishop M. C. Harris of the

which they afterward withdrew, as
they declared they had made them un-

3.v Associated Pi-ess.
Belfast, Ireland, Sept. ‘ 28.—Ulster
day, forecast to witness the climax of
the Oreangemen's protest against home
rule, opened with a calm that rendered
unionists and home rulers alike appre-
hensive as to what might happen.
The people of Ireland, even those re-
sponsible for today's signature of the
formidable “league and covenant,” look
forward to the day’s happenings with
misgivings.
Belfast was gayly decorated, the
union jack being everywhere predomi-
nant.
Most of the shops and all the big in-
dustrial works were closed. The spirit
of unity prevailing among the Protest-
ant denominations was illustrated by
the selection of the officiating clergy-
men for the manifestation in Ulster
hall. Rev. W. William McLean, for-
merly Presbyterian moderator, preach-
ed the sermon and he was assisted by
ministers belonging to Anglican-Meth-
odist, Baptist and Congregational
churches. Sir Edward Carson sat at
the right of Mr. McLean, and the lord
mayor of Belfast at his left.
A semi-military aspect was not lack-
ing, at 200 stalwart' members of the
Unionist club and Orange lodges acted
as a guard of honor, standing around
the pulpit, while 500 of what is known
as the “reserve guard,” occupied seats
in the gallery.
The great congregation was unable
to restrain itself as notable personages
came into the hall. Among the first
was Lord Charles Beresford, who was
greeted with a loud cheer. Capt. Jas.
Craig, the Unionist member for East
Down, reminded the audience that the
service was a religious one, and said
t>ir Edward Carson wished it to be
looked upon as such in the real sense
of the word.
When Sir Edward Carson and Fred-
erick Smith arrived, the people, for-
getful of the appeal that had been
made, again broke into cheers, which
continued as the two leaders proceeded
to the platform behind the orange flag
of the battle of the Boyne, presented
to Sir Edward in such a dramatic man-
ner last evening.
The service opened with the hymn,
O God, our help in ages past,” after
which a short prayer was offered and
an appeal made to the “Almighty to
stretch forth thy arlns and help us in
this time of national danger.” The
first lesson was taken from Isaiah, 26;
1-9, “We have a strong city,” etc.
Rev. Mr. McLean’s sermon aroused
the congregation to another burst of
cheering, which was suppressed from
the pulpit. Dr. McLean declared the
Irish question at bottom was a war
against Protestantism arid an attejnpt
to establish Roman Catholic ascendency
in Ireland, and to begin the disinte-
gration of- the British empire by se-
curing a parliament in Dublin. Ulster
men were ready, he said, to accept al-
most any program of social and polit-
ical reform, but they would not have
home rule.
The service concluded with the sing-
ing of the national anthem.
IN ALL CHURCHES.
Similar services were held in all the
churches and chapels of Belfast and in
the villages of Ulster.
The scene
impressive,
was lined by a bodyguard of men
wearing sashes and armlets and car-
rying wooden staves. Other men were
posted about the grounds much as
though they expected an attack from
Nationalists, who, however, thus far
stood by, though displeased with the

Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 28.—Coming
into Alabama, Col. Roosevelt today re-
newed his appeal to the South to sup-
port the Progressive party.
The colonel reached Montgomery at
6 o’clock and was still asleep when
a reception committee appeaerd to take
him to breakfast. The colonel knew
nothing of the plans which had been
made to entertain him and it was near-
ly time for him to speak when he start-
ed off with the commitee.
Col. Roosevelt’s speech was delivered
in the rain. He stood on the balcony
of a hotel with the rain beating down
upon him, to a crowd in. the street
below.
“If you are against me,” he said, “I’ve
• othing to say. The man whom I am
trying to reach is the man who is for
me, but votes against me because his
grandfather voted that way.
“The way for you to honor yofir

“I want to see Alabama take its part
in national affairs as brilliantly as it

done as long as you do not face the
