COTTON
E
Before withdrawing our cotton
advertisement, which we will
soon do to make a place for
our APEX GOODS, we
would suggest that there is
really a sharper demand for
cotton in this market right
now than shippers would
suppose.
This is because there is not
enough cotton in the coun-
try at this season of the year
to occupy the chief buyers,
who, therefore, are apt to
operate in larger markets
like this.

MMWTH.V PUS5E
Berlin, March 9.—(Copyright. 1895, by The
Associated Press.)—The public is looking
forward to the convening of the state
council on Tuesday with a great deal of
interest. Emperor William will deliver a
comprehensive address, defining the scope
of the deliberations and the propositions to
be submitted to the council. The question
of prohibition of the entry of American
cattle or meat into Germany will be one
of the subjects which will be fully dis-
cussed. The emperor personally has ob-
tained exhaustive information from the
minister of husbandry, Von Hammerstein,
during an audience with him last Monday
which lasted two hours. His majesty took
this occasion to familiarize himself with
the leading topics to be discussed by the
state council, and he will share the labors
of that body as far as circumstances per-
mit, attending many of the sessions If pos-
sible.
Von Kanitz's grain monopoly bill, accord-
ing to the federation of the husbandry will
be Introduced Into the relchstag after it
has been considered by the state council
in all Its bearings.
Emperor William is irritated at. the atti-
tude of the agrarians respecting the cred-
its asked for on behalf of the navy depart-
ment in the relchstag, and It Is reported
that bis majesty has expressed Ills Indigna-
tion rather freely respecting Herr von
Kanitz's bill. It Is stated on the occasion
of the recent banquet of the Brandenberg
diet, the emperor, while privately convers-
ing with Baron von Manteuffel, strongly
expressed his disapproval of the proposed
grain monopoly bill. According to the con-
versation reported the emperor said: "You
can not expect me to engage in usury with
bread."
Another account has it that the emperor
remarked; "I can not help In making poor
people's bread dear."
An expression used with reference to
the navy debate by the agrarian leader.
Von Ploets. "ohne Kanitz. keine marine"
(without Kanitz, no ships), came to the
ears of the emperor and was .much resent-
ed by him.
Influenza is still rampant here. The
duchess of Sagan, mother of the wife of
the German ambassador at Washington,
died of that disease to-day. The duke of
Sagan is only just recovering from an at-
tack of the same disease.
Emperor William's eldest sister, the
princess of Saxe-Meinigel, Is unnroving;
iwo Berlin judges. Woolner and Hoffman,
have died from the effects of influenza,
and Dr. Bellermann. director of the Grey
convent and gymnasium, an 1 Dr. Carl
Peters, the German explorer, ard M. St.
Clair, first secretary of the French em-
bassy, and Herr Dreuxmann, president of
the court of chambers, are among those
prostrated.
The epidemic is seriously Interfering with
the business of the law courts and In sev-
eral public schools and gymnasiums, owing
to the sickness of so many of the teachers
and punils, whole classes have been sus-
pended. In the whole of Germany last
week Xuremburg had the doubtful honor
of heading the influenza statistics with the
highest sick list. Hamburg came next with
1458 sick; Breslau, Cologne and Halle were
affected in a lesser degree. The family
of the Pnited States ambassador. Mr. Run-
yon. have all recovered from attacks of
influenza, and on Thursday night a ball
was given at the ambassador's house.
The long and friendly conversation which
the emperor had with the duke of Cum-
berland while his majesty was in Vienna
upon the occasion of the funeral of the
late Grand Duke Albrecht has revived the
hopes of the Guclph party in Germany,
and in court circles the opinion prevails
that Prince George, the eldest son of the
duke of Cumberland, will become reigning
duke of Brunswick upon attaining his ma-
jority on uctober 1*. 1898. The prince re-
gent! Albrecht, being very wealthy and
not enamored of his office, he harbors the
intention of founding a dynasty for Bruns-
wick. He is, besides, an ultra legitimist
and never approved, of the d position of
the Ouelphs. The prince regent regarded
the regency as a provisional arrangement,
and .absents himself from Brunswick as
frequently as he decently can. On Satur-
day next be goes to lOngland in order to
enjoy sea bathing at llfraeombe until the
middle of April. A reflex of the new con-
dition of things was seen in the relchstag
this week when a Guelph member support-
ed the government's demands for the navy.
Prince Christian of ilohenlohe-Oeringen
was the guest of Prince Bismarck at Fried-
i richsruhe on Sunday and Monday last.
The latter spoke of his waning strength
and- Dr. Schwerlns' positive prohibition to
excite himself and receive large crowds,
in addition, Prince Bismarck expressed
grave doubts as to whether he would be
equal to the task of celebrating his 80th
birthday as the peoole wished him to do
publicly, and with all kinds of demonstra-
tion.
A newspaper of Leipsic recently asked a
number of literary and political men for
an expression of opinion upon the idea of
making Prince Bismarck an honorary citi-
zen of the German empire by act of par-
liament and almost all approved of the
plan. Count von Hompesch-Rurich, chair-
man of the centrist party, however, re-
plied that the 80th birthday of Prince Bis-
marck "gives me no occasion to answer
your question."
Dr. Sehaedler, another member of the
center party, was more pointed in his an-
swer. lie wrote: "I beg to say that in
memory of the Kultaulkampf and the op-
pression of German Catholics at that time
your question is of no Interest in any
way."
The conservative national liberal and the
anti-semlte members of the relchstag will
celebrate Prince Bismarck's birthday by a
commission which will go to Frlcderiehs-
ruhe together on April 7 In order to de-
liver an address to the ex-chancellor.
A dispatch from Cologne states that an
earthquake shock was felt at 1 o'clock yes-
terday evening through the whole Rheln-
ish province. The vibration was from
southeast to northwest.
A curious ease of Insubordination oc-
curred recently in Emperor Alexander's
regiment. An Asian recruit named To-
hener, belonging to the Mennenii \ whose
creed forbids them from taking an oath,
joined that regiment at the beginning of
the year. The Mention I tes pr vious to the
year of 18»i7 were exempt from military
service, but that privilege has sine.' been
canceled, Tohener objected to taking the
oath of allegiance end then simply refused
to take a rille in his hands. For this he
was sentenced to two months' Imprison-
ment in a fort. The term expired on Sat-
urday and he was escorted back to his
regiment.. On Tuesday morning, when his
company paraded, the captain asked him If
he would then take a rifle and Tohener re-
plied without wavering: "No. captain."
He was immediately inarched back to the
military prison, and on the following day
he attempted suicide. The military au-
thorities are in a. quandary as to how to
deal with this stubbornness.
A remarkable story of youthful crime is
reported from Naumburg, in the province
of Saxony. A boy named -Brei/.el was -sen-
tenced last July t) four years' imprison-
ment for strangling a comrade named
Schurf with suspenders during a quarrel.

WRECK OF THE LONGFELLOW.
Searching for the Drowned—Wreckage
Scattered 25 Miles Down Stream.
Cincinnati, ()., March 9.—This has been a
day of suspense among the relatives and
friends of the victims of the Longfellow
wreck. Searching parties have gone down
the river looking among the willows for
"traces of the missing. The oflleers of the
packet company have been zealous in their
efforts to find the Irowned bodies and
were rewarded in the afternoon by finding
the body of the veteran clerk of the Long-
fellow, Captain J. L. Carter, in the wreck,
that had been cat ght ; nd floated ashore
near Riverside. The aged derk was pinned
'to the boiler deck by a portion of the cab-
in deck which had fallen on him. His fea-
tures were lifelike and his body was not
mutilated. When the river falls, as it will
by .Monday, a, more extended s arch can be
made in that part of VIie wreck, where it is
supposed the bodies of Mr. Aldridge and of
the bartender, Shervant, may be found.
The wreckage of :he Longfellow is scat-
tered for a distance of Twenty-five miles
down tihe rivr and everywhere the skiffs
of the wreckage are busy lowing wreck-
age ashore. Pirate skiTfs are hovering
around the hull waiting for relgtrl to be-
come detached. The company's men are
doing everything possible to save what can
be saved of t'he cargo. A half dozen or
more trunks of the passengers l ave .al-
ready been secured. There have been no
developments to-day to indicate that the
death list will be enlarged. Mr. C. .J. Ald-
ridge, soil of David Aldridge of Rome, X.
Y., and Mr. Joseph Aldridge, brother of
the drowned passenger, arrived to-day and
•began the melancholy task of searching
for his body.
Mr. G. D. Wood and wife and Miss Dal-
rymple of Card'ington, <>hlo, who were pas-
sengers on the Longfellow, resum d their
'trip this evening on the Buckeye State.
ARRESTED FOR SWINDLING.
Pittsburg, Pa., March 9.—W. A. Snyder
and Harry Stone of this city were arrest-
ed at Braddock to-day for running a swin-
dling game. They advertised in the papers
here and in other cities under the pame of

go to California to work in gold mines,
Where they would he paid good wages. Ap-
I lleants were requested to send 20 ejus in
silver or stamps to the address, "Box .".J,
Braddock, Pa."
The postmaster became suspicious at 'the
large number of letters that were coming
for Mr. Willards and reported to 1'unsta-
ble Lutz, who made the arrests 10-day
when the men called at the postofllce. Tin-
case has been turned aver to the postoffl'-e
■authorities.

Senators Jones and Teller of (he Proposed
International Monetary Commission
Have a Conference
Washington, March 9.—The secretary of
the treasury has advised the collectors of
customs at ports at which goods have
heretofore ben entered for transit to
Mexico that the recent joint resolution
passed by congress prohibits such transit
In cases where the goods are destined to
points within the so-called "free zone."
The secretary also directs collectors to
hereafter refuse entries for such trans-
portations. Goods already, entered may
be forwarded as heretofore, but goods
which may hereafter arrive at any port
of entry will be required to be examined
and appraised and entered for transporta-
tion in bond to American ports on the
Mexican border and re-entered there for
exportation. This will involve delay and
probably expense to shippers, but can not.
be avoided in an\ other manner than by
the abolishment of the "free zone."
TEST CASES.
Washington, March 9. Minister Taylor,
at Madrid, some time ago, Informed the
department of state that he had selected
seven cases of the large number preferred
by American merchants for the recovery
of sums of money paid to Cuban officials
alleged to be in excess of the proper
charges on imports into that country,
which he intended to make test cases. The
department has just been informed that
the minister has succeeded in having five
of the cases allowed and orders have been
made for a refund in these by the Spanish
government. The cases at * those of Mai-
cas. Ward & Co.. Hidalgo, Dowling, Agui-
lora Trilla and Alonzo. Two of these
cases are for refund of duties collected
upon goods that should have been admit-
ted free, but upon which it was exacted,
owing to a misinterpretation by the <1*11-
ban officials of the language of the reper-
tory of the reciprocity treaty. The other
cases wore claims for the refund of fines
collected because of the trivial errors in
manifests. Minister Taylor is hopeful now
that he will be uble to secure the allow-
ance of nearly all the large number of
such claims pending in view of his success
with these test cases.
