V AS It W COHON MARKET, EXCITED. Remit of Sensational Advance In Liver pool A Rash of Baylof Orders Sales Estimated at 1,000,000. T TiBraob to Moromii Htar. New YORK, May 13. Trecneudous excitement nervaded the cotton mar ket to-day ai a result or the sensational advance iu Liverpool which came about ten to sixteen points higher tbsn had been expected. The local market started eighteen to twenty- seven points nigner on me near months and four to fourteen on the late months, under a rush of shorts to cover. The decline of yesterdav had attracted sales and these sellers bought actively to-day. During the first few minutes, prices were advanced a trifle further on some positions, but were also immediately weakened by a wave of selling for profits. This selling was encouraged by the indifference of New Orleans, favorable weather and fair receipts. The advance at Liver pool was attributed by cables to de mand in the absence of selling and the strength of the spot situatioo. It was also thought that the operations of the local bull clique had been transferred to that market. To-day's top prices for May contracts showed an advance of 843 points or nearly St cents since November 11th, the low day of the season. Great as was the excitement during the morning as a result of the sensa- liuuai Jjivcryuui uiute, it Wll iur- passed ia the afternoon when the rush of buying orders was probably the greatest ever witnessed in any cot ton market. Prices were forced rapidly upwards and me list as a whole reach ed new high records ror the season wnue toe volume oi oustness was such as to surpass all previous records, the transactions being estimated at fully one million bales. The market closed a few points off from the top on some options, but firm and excited at a net advance of ten to forty points. May sold at 11.31: July at 10.91 and August 10.65. JAPAN'S WAR PREPARATIONS Arsenals Being Worked Day and Night. War Feeling Very StronfRassIa's Action niitrnitfd- By Cable to the Horning Star. Victoria, B. 0., May 13. Accord ing to advices received by the steamer Empress of India, Japanese arsenals were being worked day and night,pro visions were being concentrated, coal stored, and on all sides it was evident that Japan, doubting the extent of Russia's withdrawal from Manchuria, was preparing for war. -The Hon. Sidney Fisher, Canadian minister oi agriculture, who was one of the passengers by the steamer and who ba'sbeen in close touch with Jap anese royalty and officialdom, says the war feeling In Japan is very strongand warlike preparations were in view. The massing of Russian troips on the banks of the Yalu, on the pretence that protection is being accorded to timber concessions, was causing strong feeling in Japan, this being regarded particularly as a menace to Japgn. The destruction by fire of the pow der factory at Tokiofu has led to sin ister rumors that Russian spies were connected, with the disaster. Russia continues making extensive military preparations. The North 'China Daily News reports that there has boeu a continuous flow of Russian troops traveling by train from Harbin to Port Arthur, while other large bodies have been moving to the east- era borders of Msnchurir, camping iu the vicinity of the Yalu river, which divide that country from Corea. The warlike movements are causing great aUrm. The Chinese officials are quot ed as saying that the Rusiians are prtpiriog for tho inevitable struggle wi ii Jspao, a day which all Chinese otIk':ls oelieve to be not far distant.

PEOPLE DRIVEN FROM HOMES Heavy Rainfall, Followed by a Clondbnrst at Daybreak Boats Playing on Bay ' Street City la Darkness Last Night Damage $400,000. By Telegraph to the Morning Btar. ' Jacksonville, Fla., May 13. The rain which had been falling Inces santly all day yesterday and all last night assumed this morning about daybreak almost the proportiona of a cloud burst and when the citizens pre pared to leave tor tneir places oi busi ness many of them found their homes completely surrounded by water. But these were not the unfortunates. Many were driven from their resi dences or forced to go to upper stories by the water that in some cases reached the level of the first story windows As much as one square mile of the town was under water. Fully half a mile of Bay street, the principal thoroughfare of the city, was under water, and much damage was done to stocks of goods. On thin street a mule hitched to a wagon got beyond its depth and was drowned, and the driver attempting to cut It from the vehicle nearly lost his life. Skiffs, and later in the day a naphtha launch, were plyina on Bay street removing people from their submerged nomes. The water was two feet deep in the waiting 'room of the Union Depot and every railroad track entering the city was under water. One train each over the East Oorst Line and Atlantic Coast Line came into Jacksonville in the morning and one each over these two roads and the Seaboard Air Line and East Coast roads departed at night. The damage to the railroads in and near the city is considerable, but it is believed that it will be repaired by morning and that trains will make their regular schedule to-morrow. The rain in its intensity seemed to be local and the railroads are not damaged ex cept in or near the city. The city is in total darkness to-night. The water waa a foot deep in the elec tric light power house and stopped the dynamo. The damage to the electric light plant which belongs to the city ia estimated at $3,000. It will take probably $30,000 to put the streets and bridges in repair. The railroads suffered losses prob ably amounting to $100,000. The losses of individuals cannot be accu rately estimated. Many bridges In the county were washed away. The total loss- will probably not be less than $100,000. In addition to this it is reared that Bridge street viaduct, which cost $250,- 000, has been made dangerous by the flood. The water of McCoy's creek was all day rushing under It in a broad and rapid stream, and it is feared that the supports of the bridge have been ao weakened that it will, be un safe. However, it was soon to have been replaced by a new one. Ropes were stretched across the viaduct to keep the crowd off. Whether it will weaken seriously can only be deter mined after the waters subside. Five houses were overturned or de molished near the banks of Hogan's Creek, in the negro part of the city. They were all. small. The founda tions of many others in the same locality were undermined and they were rendered homeless. The flood was caused by the heavy down pour in Jacksonville and a few miles to the north and west. Three small creeks flow into the river from the northwest in the limits of Jack sonville, but they spread over a great Dorlion of the citv. The total rainfall for the twenty-four hours ending at o A. M. amounted to 8.41 inches. SrlOOTINQ AND CUTTINQ. An Affray at Spring Hope, N. C One Man at Point of Deatb. By Telegraph to the Horning Btar. Raleigh, N. C, May 13. A special from Bpring Hope, N.

Eldred and Lyman Newborn, father and son, were returning to their farm to-day during the storm, in a wagon.

C, ev TaJegiapb to the Morn Inn star. WASHiNQTON.May 13. The methods of professor Adolph Lorenz, Austrian surgeon, in the treatment of congenital hip disease and club feet, furnished the feature of general interest at the meet ings c f the American Surgical and Or thopedic Associations. To the Surgical Association the case of Charles Willet, operated upon last November by Dr. Lorenz for club feet, was presented. Although one of exces sive difficulty, the operation was pro nounced a perfect success. No discus sion specially condemnatory of Lo- renz's methods was elicited, but some of the more conservative members of the association were adverse in their criticisms. The statement was made that the operation of Dr. Lorenz upon Lolita Armour,daughterof J.Ogden Armour, of Chicago, to perform which the Austrian surgeon had come to the United States, had not proved entirely successful. It was evident from the tone of the discussion that a majority of the surgeons, in attendance were supporters of the Lorenz methods. No action was taken. The atorm centre of the discussion of thevLorenz method was at the ses sion of the American Orthopedic As sociation, before which Dr. A. J. Steele, of St. Louis, cited the case of a boy eight years old,, afflicted with hip disease, who had been operated on by the Austrian surgeon and subsequent- v had died of meningitis, lie did not attribute the death directly to the oper ation, but warned his colleagues that the Lorenz methods ought to be em ployed with great care. Dr. 11. Augustus Wilson, of the Jef ferson Hospital, Philadelphia, present ed a report upon twenty-three cases observed in the hospital, eight of which were operated on by Dr. Liorenz. Dr. Wilson made a defence of the Lorenz methods, and, as he had assisted the Austrian surgeon in all the cases pre sented, his judgment carried great weight. Dr. Koswell Park, of Buffalo, one of the surgeons who attended the late President McKinley, did not approve of the breaking of bones and the im pairment of tissues incident to the operations of Professor Lorenz. Dr. Moore, of Minneapolis, thought the term "bloodless surgery" applied to the Lorenz method was unfortunate. as it appealed strongly to parents who wished their children to be cured with out the use of the knife. The fact was that a clean incision would be less bloody than operation an by the Lorenz method. CRAZED BY JEALOUSY. Wife and Mother Killed Her Infant and Attempted Suicide.

The Drimarv class in Sunday school was listening to a lesson on patience. This, according to the Boston Herald, was what came of it, at least in the minds of the more literal minded chil dren: The todc had been carefully ex plained, and as an aid to understand ing the teacher had given each pupil a card bearing the picture of. a boy nsn ing. "Even nlcasure .' said she. "requires the exercise of patience. .See the boy fishing. He must sit and wait and wait. He must bo patient." Having treated the subject very fully, she began with the simplest, niOst practical question: "And now can any little boy tell me what we need mo3t when we go fish ing?"

SITUATION IN THE BALKANS. Attitude ol the Turkish Government Viewed With Dl8trnat.by Diplomats A Mas sicre of Christians Feared. By Cable to the MorninK Star. Vienna, May IS. The Austro-Hun-garian squadron has been ordered to leave Salonica. The turret ship Wien , however, will remain there. The request of Prince Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, for an udience with Em peror Joseph, has apparently been re fused, rrince Ferdinand has passed through Vienna and Budapest, return- ins; to Sofia, where he arrived to-day. While here he bad no communication with the Austrian Foreign Office. Kecent happenings in Macedonia have by no means strengthened the Prince's position, and it is a question in official circles here whether the real authority at Sofia is not now lodged in the Macedonian committees. The chief danger in the Balkans is now thought to lie in the turbulence of the Turkish population whose fury against the Christians threatens to start conflagrst'on. The attitude of the Turkish government is viewed with much distrust by diplomats here. It s feared that Turkey will permit the massacre of Christians, thereby en abling the Moslems to expend their wrath. Immediate developments are waited with the greatest anxiety.
