New York Special. Panlel J. Sally, tho cotton operator, who has for the past fitteri months b-eti th biggest figure in the co'ton market of the world, and who ba? "bulled ' cotton from 7 cents a pound to over 17, an nounced his inability to make good his engagements on the New Ycrk cotton exchange Friday. With a few moment cotton foil ne-Jy $13 a bale from th" b!ghei figure- cf the day. Scenes Mich as followed! the an nouncement of the failure it has been the privilege of few brokers to wit ness before. Traders In the street have witnessed stock panics in pre vious years; corner: bavo been bro ken, and many crashes have been re corded, but none bns ben accompan ied by such frenzy, and confusion. While there has ben no premoni tion cf the impending ciabh, rio morii Ing cf the reason had witnessed a more demoralized market. In le3S than ten minutes after the opening half a cent had been taken off the prirc of cotton. Priec3 went up and down, 10, 20 and 20 points. Within two and three minutes. May opened at 15.22, tfhd ent down to 14.76 in less than fifteen minute?, irhile July, opening at 15.22, went down to 14.8. Toward the end of the first halt hour early sellers started to cover, and thero was nothing in the news to a t for ihe excitement. It seemed merely a renewal of the operations and the catching of further stop or ders. Shrotly after the neon ss!on, how ever, there was alttll in the pit, and at about firo minutes before two o'clock the annuoucemnt of the sus pension was made by Superintendent King, who road from the rostrum this notice: "Wo regret that we are unable td meet our engagements, and therefore will have to suspend. "DANIEL J. SULLY & CO." For a few seconds there was an ominous quiet over the floor, as though the news had stunned all with in hearing of its announcement. Then with one impulse a mighty shout went up from the bears, they who had been fighting Sully and the bull clique for months. Hats were thrown into tho air to fall where they would, a moment later to be trampled upon in tho stampede for the pit. Coats were torn by frantic brokers in their mad effort to unload their holdings, and chairs and camp-stools were dashed Into tho pit to emphasize some effort to sell. Messengers were rushing In and out of the building with orders to buy or sell; telephone booths were besieged and telegraph offices were flooded with dispatches. Outside the cotton exchange ap pearances gavo little indication of the pandemonium within until the mes sengers began to rush between the exchange and tho brokers' offices. Soon the netfs reached the stock, produce and coffee exchanges, and traders on these markets hastened to the scene of the panic. Crowds as sailed the entrance to tbc visitors gal lery, brut a double guard was placed at the doors and admittance was re fused to all but those accompanied bv members. "it was estimated ttat something like three quarters of a million bales of cotton were traded in the 20 min utes of the panic that followed the announcement, and thit of this up wards of half a million bales repre sented enforced liquidation, or the selling out of men waose margins have been nearly if not quite wiped out. As the market slumped 250 point3 during thia period the loss falling on this element amounted to something over a million dollars. Protection for Seals.

Drl.. lynching last year, and to the gabee :ent attack on the negro settlement. Thie never occurred in the South, he w!d. -Whn ifce jfullty wretch has paid the penalty of his awful rr;m, ibit i an end of It," he continued; "ta nJ6b z satisfied and does, not wreak Indla cilmlnate venbeance upon the Inno cent, because they belong to the same tare at the criminal." He said that, un like the people of the North, the people cf the South "don't po out !th a tnreh in one hand and a gun In the other, and. rolhting the gun at defenseless women and children, shoot them as they flee for their lives.'' He siid thia had occurred In New York city in 1&00, and be refened to a number of lynch Ir.gs which had occurred in the North, including those at Danville. 111., ana Springfield, Ohio, and said "such lace prejudice fin I3 50 place In Soathern hearts Mr. Spright continued: "So far fis t am concerned, I am opposed to mob violence 3s a genera! proposition. I do not think that lynching? for any other crime than the nameless one against womanhood ought ever to occur. In all others the courts of the country are ample, and generally, with us, swift to punish. "But in the one class nf crimes so brutal and destructive of all that i3 dear io ah enlightened peopie. no Pne with a ppark of manhood in him can doubt that Instant death to tha perpe trator should follow upon the ascer tainment cf the guilty facts. The poor, suffering womsn who has been the vic tim of the devlish lust of a brute, white ot black, should not be compelled to appear In court and repeat before a jury the horrible details of the out rage." Mr. Splght recited that the burnins at the stake of "such brutes" was not confirmed to the South, but had occur red in the North as well. Mr. Spight spoke of tbe attempt of -t rtfiin white nertenns ih rilit fhfi neero o a social equality with themselves snd referrlnz- to the occasion whefi Dookcr Washington dined at the White House with President Itoosevelt, said "this one incident had done more to in flame the passions of the negro and give him a perverted Idea of his im portance and bis near appearance to social equality than anything mat naa been done for the last ten vears. He said Booker Washington had sat down to dinner with the President "as gra cmuslv as !f he bad been the Governor ot New York." He was, he continued, eorry that Washington did not have Tiore sense and self-resnect than to ac cept the Invitation. It would have been infinitely to his credit had he declined. "The more the negroes are put on a so c!al rnualitv." he vigorously asserted "the more dangerous becomes their position and the surer death by vio lence will overtake them sooner or later." Mr. Spright referred to the arrest in Indianola. Mis?., of white agents of a Cincinnati picture company who were selling to the negroes indecent pic tures, in his opinion the agents should have been lynched. The granting of subsidies to rail roads for carrying the mails was vig orously opposed by Mr. Robinson, of Indiana, who characterized them as a Etaln and blot upon the bill. Mr. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, contend ed that to deny the subsidy would be doing a manifest injustice to the Inter ests cf the South. A heated discussion followed, which was participated in by Meesrs. Tmb. of Pennsylvania: Hol- liday. of Indiana, and Gaines, of Ten ressee. Mr. Robinson had charged the Republicans with being responsible for ihe subsidy, which brought from Mr. Lamb an emphatic protest. Although the Louisville & Nashville Railway, one of the roads benefited by the subsidy, passed through his town, Mr. Gaines excitedly declared the sub sidy to be "a legalized steal." Mr. Finley, of South Carolina, said there were rumors of the abuse of the franking privilege, and the commission eiiould look into that matter. Mr. Sibley of Pennsylvania, suggest ed to Mr. Finley that if he personally knew of any such abuses it was his duty to call specific attention to the in dividual. Mr. Finley declared he was not mak ing charges against members of Con gress, but had read the statements; in the public press. He said the public mind was saturated with the charge thBt there was corruption In the Post office Pepartroent, and the only thing to do was to investigete it. If there was scandal to be uncovered "the ras cals and grafters," he said. "Wfrald be enmeshed in the toii3 of the law." In a speech characterized by intense vigor. Mr. Flood, of Virginia, asserted that the credit for the establishment of the rural free delivery service belonged to the Democrats. It had. he said, been claimed by Mr. Perry S, Heath, former First Assitant Postmaster General. "1 am not," he said, "astonished that a gentleman who was willing to rob and nii.rr his pnvemment and permit ether pec-ple to rob and plunder the ; g-cvernment he had sworn to protect, j should rob a political opponent of the , credit to which he was entitled." j In tn? senate.
