The news from the south concerning crop developments was unfavorable today and the news from Europe was encouraging; yet the cotton market was very dull and prices barely held their own. Liverpool sent us a good dispatch again this morning, the cables reporting that market to be l-64d higher. The 0ening here was slightly better. The fluctuations during the day were nar row and represented chiefly the transac tions of the local operators. The good business, in spots was the best feature of the day. August opened at 7.19, declined to 7.18, advanced to 7.21 and closed at 7.18 to 7.19, with the tone quiet. No one seems inclined to be - aggressive on either side at present. - RIORDAN & CO. (By Associated Press.) New York, April 22. The- total trans actions in cotton m futures foot up 85,800 bales, representing a small and disap pointing market. For the most active po sitions the scope of the fluctuations were a matter of only 3 to 4 points and the market . closed quiet with prices fully un changed to 2 points higher as compared with yesterday's closing level. War and rumors of war on the one hand and the Mississippi valley flood on the other hand have been conflicting forces that have completely muddled the views of the cotton trade, at this point and led to general hesitation and timidity. The fea ture of the market is the interest shown by cotton buyers, both by spinners and exporters. ' ' New York Stock Market. New York, April 22. Only two stocks were dealt in today to the extent of 10,000 shares, namely, New Jersey Central and Western Union. The local exchange seemed" to have lost its docile faith in London's superior knowledge of the value of American securities, which it was so ready to acknowledge yesterday, after-its costly experience in giving way too far to timidity on Monday. The New York price refused to conform to the London quotations which had risen after the London opening to above the New York closing. The New York price, on the con trary, obstinately persisted, in remaining at a lower level than the parity with London. London prices, as a consequence, fell off in the final dealings, seeing the persistent pessimism of the New York market. This pessismistic mood of the local dealers discouraged London from buying in this market, even with a higher range prevailing in their own market. Arbitrage operations were insignificant. The close in London showed the prices of Americans still above the New York parity. 'The railway bond market ruled quiet, but with a firm undertone. Fluc tuations in the principal issues were un usually narrow and there was a marked contraction" in the volume of trading in, the high grTjflle liens. Some sharp varia tions were registered either way in the usually neglected leins. The sales were $925,000. Governments were slightly easier on quoted prices, there being no transac tions at the board. ' ' The Chicago Markets. - Chicago, April 22. Wheat Was a puzzle today. It went up and down like a teeter board, but ended close to the center with a net decline of c. The market was nervous and was easily moved in either direction. Big cash business and better planting conditions were factors. The other markets were dull, and show but little change in their respective values. ' RESTORED TO HEALTH.

In executive session today the subject of the unor ganized condition of the committees was discussed at considerable length, bing brought about by the reports on nominations which .were J made. During the discussion Senator Gor man took occasion to criticize the inaction on the republican side and said it was not fair to the senate to prevent it from transacting business. He reviewed the various ' propositions which had been made and said that he thought they were fair and reasonable. There was no desire on the part of the democrats and others in opposition to the republicans to take the chairmen- ships, but it was desired to place the senate on a working basis. If the com- mitee which had been selected by the republicans to arrange the committees could not agree upon a' plan of organi zation another committee should be ap pointed. . The republicans dd not reply to Sen ator .Gorman directly. There was a general talk upon the matter of com mitees but no action was taken. The Murderers, of WhMlman Tm A V i- quitted.

United States Consul Bergholz, at Erzeroum,, Turkey, has reported to the state department that the Turkish court there which has been trying, by default, the Kurds and Armenians charged with the murder of Young Lenz. the American bicyclist, while on . his tour around the world awheel,, has acquitted the accused The magistrate found that there was not sufficient evidence to warrant the con viction of the accused persons and dis missed the charges, a matter of small moment after all, considering the fact that none of the accused had been found by the authorities, they having fledthe country, - - . A TRIP THROUGH THE SOUNDS From Ocraeeke to Morehead Our Cortes pondent Tells What lie -Sees and Bean in This Interesting Part of the Sounds 41 ' North Carolina. - -. 4 (Continued from April 18th.) After a delightful night's rest on the Bracebridge a start is made at 7 o'clock for Ocracoke. The course is laid first for a. lighthouse "in the sound, four miles away. While sailing out to this a fire "brant is picked 'up on the water, Hatteras men shooting by-"fire light" the night before had killed it. but failed 4 to find. it. It -makes a delightful din ner. . ,- , . " From Oregon inlet all the way down the banks "blirtds" for use in hunting geese and brant have been in view nearly all the while. Some , are huilt only 300 yard3 ifrom the shore, some three or four miles from it.. They are $ike a shallow box say four or five feet square, raised six or eight feet aJbove the water by four piles or posts. There are hundreds of these blinds. On some of , them wooden decoy geese or ducks are piled: ready for use. The hunter is taken"" to the blind in a boat, the de-" coys are puV out and then he has to wait.. But tamed wild geese (this sounds 'rattier like an Irish foull) are the "favorite -decoy. . Does a tied dog like to hunt?" Well, rather. But he is not a whit more eager for the port than these live decoys are to bring their wild 'brethren in range of the gunner. .They are wonderfully intelli gehtrbirds and hundreds of them are used regularly for the purpose of lur ing the great flocks. Some of these geese which belong to Augustive Finer, the captain, of the Bracebridge, at. Morehead City, will raise no end of a racket if a dog enters the yard, but when Piner comes out -with a gun they are as'silent as death and run to one side, to give a fair shot at the dog. They attain the age of 100 years and of all creatures are the most faithful to their mates. '.'As faithful as a wild goose "might well be a proverb. - On the way down to Ocracoke T?iner talks aboutj the use of birds as orna ments on ladles' hats, and tells a sad story of the total extermination of the "striker," or "lease tern," a shore bird. Once there were scores of thousands of these. -They are small, snowy of plum age and are readily dyed " any color. "Just lovely for hats' as a milliner would say. "Well Piner and a lot of other men were well paid to hunt these strikers from the capes of Delaware to Florida. ' They killed all the large ones. The little ones died of starva tion. A few years ago there were great rookeries of these pretty birds all along the coast of this state. These were on the fiat beach and-in them myriads of the 'birds were 'born and raised. Now not a rookery exists. Piner says the striker is extinct so far as this state is concerned. Two men in one week killed 7,200, Only two years were re quired to thus exterminate them. It is, a sad story. In a few hours after leaving Hat teras village,, the wind Deing fair, Ocra coke is reached. Here is another inlet and also quite a large hotel. It is a summer resort. The next town below it is Portsmouth, a very old place. , All' along -this coast one meets with reminders of the civil war. At one place two veterans are met, each of whom belonged to the First North Carolina regiment but not the same regiment for one was federal, one con federate. At Hatteras are th ruins of an earth work which the federals gar risoned. At Portsmouth are big chim neys, the ruins of a hospital. There are quite a number of federal pension ers along the banks. ' , . . Below OcrScoKe theeound loses the yellow, fresh water color which has marked this vast inland sea all the way from Currituck sound. Up in the latter one can drink the water. Here at Ocracoke it is salt, while further down, nearer Morehead City, it is as salt as the ocean itself and almost as green. At Ocracoke an old toark, dismantled lies In the sound. This is the "lay 'boat" -to and from which pas sengers and freight are transferred to the steamers plying between New Bern and Elizabeth City.. In these lower sounds there are hardly any nets. Very few boats are seen. There are some attractive club houses owned iby wealthy sportsmen. In the evening of the 3rd of 'April the "straits" are reached, a narrow and picturesque' passage way twelve miles from 'Morehead City, between Hark er's island and the mainland. Here we anchor at Marshallburg and spend the night with the light of Cape Lookout lighthouse in view. Early the following morning Piner goes ashore in the yawl boat. In five minutes he shouts "Good luck. Soft crabs.',' It is found to be true.' A. B. 'Riggan & Co.; of Crisfleld, Maryland, are at this point and they are showing the natives not a few things. In the shallow water, in the mud, they findthe crabs, which are placed in floating boxes, whence they are taken . for shipment. They are packed in grass, which is of the kind torn up by the ducks from the sounds, and which is in short lengths. This is dried and thus packed the craos will live six or eight days, getting to market in fine shape and bringing $1.25 to $2.00 a dozen. They are packed closely and a small box; with its slatted sides and top will hold ten dozen: The Brace- bridge takes on a cargo' of 140 dozen soft crabs and your correspondent is given three dozen which make a royal breakfast and dinner. At 10 o'clock we leae Marshallburg and passing through the . "straights," reach the open sound, (Core sound) again. At 10 o'clock the -wharf ; at Morehead City is reached. iBeaufort is passed on the way and very pictur esque it is from the water. Fort Ma oon, untenanted save by an ordnance sergeant, looks very peaceful indeed The big Atlantio hotel ; at Morehead City and the big fleet of "sharpies" look very familiar. - Boats at Morehead are all sharpies They used to have two big sails. Now thev have one big sail, a jib ana .a queer little sail far astern In the up oer sounds a sharpie is a curiosity. The. porpoise fishing at Morehead City has begun. The fishery is On the 'banks, in Bogue sound. There is a whale fishery at Cape. Lookout,, and two weeks ago there -was an exciting bout with a mama whale and - her thirty foot infant. The latter was mortally wounded, but got away and was washed up on the beach near Wll mington. I " . A few years ago iri the fall and win ter people caught fish in twenty-five feet of.water near Morehead. They fol lowed Is "lead" on out into deep water, beyond the bar, say sixty to eighty feet. The fish, superb trout, were taken with hand lines -and men made $12 a day In some cases. But thev were not content with this "bo nanza. Some of them sunk nets to the bottom. The currents swept these nets away, of course hundreds of dead fish being in them. This drove away the fish and now there is an end of what was at once fine sport , and a big profit.- Some f the points picked up on the way through the sounds are as fol lows : The North " Carolina- oysters yield more to the bushel than the Virginia oysters. This the1 canners know. There are thousands of bushels of oys ters taken from North Carolina waters to Virginia and Maryland which pay no tax. The captains of the oyster "boats swear that they have so many bushels on board perhaps half the real number, Among the "best cultivated oysters are those in the straits. 'Much planting is being done there. Lieutenant iwlns low thought Ocracoke the best place, but the people there ran hin away and took all the oysters he had plant ed. They said he had taken their own particular "oyster rocks," natural beds. Beaufort is on the biggest island in North Carolina, Roanoke island is gen erally regarded as the largest. 'A tour through the sounds, Curri tuck, Croatan, Pamlico, lAlbemarle. Core and Bogue, in a sail boat, is some thing to 'be always remembered. The people on the "banks" are kind and add greatly to the pleasure of the g Something; to Know. .

" Synopsis of the Nelson Bill Passed byth C A. - v.- seDHe lesterday. " Washington, April 22. The bank ruptcy bill passed by the senate today was framed by Senator Nelson, of Min nesota, and Is comparatively brief and simple, compared with the bill reported from ' the judicjary committee and known as the Torrey bill. The Nelson bill provides that any debtor, other than a corporation, owing $200 or more who is unable to nay his dettts, may file his petition in the district 'court of the United States for the district or di vision thereof in wheh he resides, ask ing for a -discharge from his debts, and offering to surrender all his property for the payment of his debts, except such as Is exempt by the law of his domicile from execution and liability for debts. The petitioner shall attach to his petition a schedule and list, of all his property, exempt and unexempt, and a schedule and list of all his cred itors and the amount and nature of the debts due each, and shall offer to sur render all his exempt property for the payment of his debts, and shall con clude with a prayer for a full discharge from his debts and liabilities. The je tition shall be heard by the court not less than thirty or more than ninety days from the time it is filed. If the court upholds the petition the estatebf the bankrupt is transferred to an ''as signee"' for settlement. . Creditors can resist the proceedings before the court on certain" enumerated grounds, of fraud, preference to cred itors etc. Preferences four months prior to filing bankruptcy petitions are null and void and transfers of' property within six months are void. Provision is made for distributing the estate among creditors. After the settlement the court gives a final hearing and when all proceedings have t)een regu lar, a final decree is given, "discharg ing and acquitting the bankrupt from all his debts and liabilities due any of the creditors described in the schedule attached to his petition, or to any of the creditors who may at any time sub sequent thereto become a party to the proceedings. But such discharge shall not include any debts or obligations which shall have been created in con sequence of his defalcation as a public officer, or as an executor,, administra tor, guardian or trustee or while acting in' any other fiduciary capacity; nor any debt or obligation to any surety of the bankrupt who has paid or may pay any such fiduciary debt or any part of it, nor any debt or obligation created by the obtaining of moneys or property under false pretenses." The provision as to involuntary bank ruptcy is as -follows: "That if any debtor being a banker, broker, merchant, trader or manufac turer, who owes $500 or over, and who is unable "to pay his debts, shall at any time within four months of the time of the filing of the petition here inafter - mentioned, assign, transfer. cori'vey?- or-.inany manner voluntarily encumDeranj&oi ms property witn tne actual intent and purpose on his part to1 prefer or defraud any of his credi tors, -.. he shall be deemed a bankrupt and may be proceeded against in a court of bankruptcy as hereinafter pro vided. A creditor or creditors having debts against such a bankrupt-to the amount of $500 or more may.within four months after the act of bankruptcy has been committed, file in the court of bankruptcy in the district in which the bankrupt is, a petition, under oath, set ting fdfth, among other things, the acts of bankruptcy aforesaid, and pray ing for an adjudication of bankruptcy against the bankrupt and the. distribu tion of his estate among his creditors." The court then proceeds within thir ty days to hear the case. The accused may; demand a jury. On the hearing the court or Jury holds whether the ac cused is or is not a bankrupt. The other proceedings are as in the case of voluntary bankruptcy. Fees in both classes of bankruptcy, are provided, viz, attorneys fees not above $100; assignee not above $3 per day.

V,. Baltimore, April22. Argument was be'gui this morning in the UnitM btates circuit court In this city in the suit of the Johns Hopkins university against the receivers of the Baltimore and. Ohio Railroad Company in which it is soughf to" establish that the 6 per petit, dividpnfl rn thf' nr(Vrrpr! stfwlr Of the company is a prior lien over all otner outstanding obligations. The total issue of the preferred -stock is $3,-. 000,000 of which Johns Hopkins univer sity holds about. $1,000,000 and from the income,upon tins stock, it is largely de pendent for its existence. . The conten tion of the plaintiff is that as this pre ferred stock was originally issued to the state of Maryland as part of the educational fund it takes precedence . over all securities issued thereafter. - The receivers, upon the other hand, contend that the preferred stock takes precedence in the matter of dividend over nothing buthe common stock and 'that the holders of it get nothing un less the earnings of the company jus tify its payment. The case is to be submitted upon an agreed statement of fact embodying these points and it is thought that, at least two, and possibly three. davs will be consumed in the argument. An imposing array of local legal talent will take part in the dis cussion aided by James C. Carter, the eminent corporation lawyer of New York; William C. Demming, also of that city and John C. Johnston. -of Phila delphia. . . THE PERRINE LAND GRANTS. Senator Pettlgrew'g Minority .Report Charging Fraud and Collusion & Washington, April 22. Senator Petti grew, from the .committee on public lands, today filed a minority report on the-result of the investigation of the Perrlne grant in Florida, conducted during the Jast session. He takes is sue with the majority and contends that it is the duty of congress to de clare the grant forfeited and of the exe cutive department to cancel the patents and punish the offenders. He says that "no compliance on the part of the Per--rlhe heirs with the provisions of the grant has been made, but by fraudu lent, pretended compliance, patents have been secured to nearly 23,000 acres of public domain in fraud of the rights of the people of 'he United States, and without any consideration whatever." The report also expresses the opinion that "there is both fraud and mistake of fact of the officers of the govern ment in issuing the patents." He says there are indications of collusion on the part of7 the officers of the government in neiping aiong tnis nefarious ana fraudulent transaction." The chief in terest in the matter is . because the Per-j rines are related to ex-President Cleve-j: land. . Nominations by the President. Washington, April 22. The president today sent to the senate, among other nominations, the name of Harold M. Sewall, of Maine, to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipoten tiary of the' United States to Hawaii, and that of Moses N. Harshaw. to be postmaster at Lenoir, N. C. Harold M. Sewall gained prominence during the last campaign by reason' of his advocacy of the republican ticket and platform; although his father, Ar , thur - Sewall. was the nominee of th democrats for vice president. Mr. Sew all had the indorsement of the Maine senators for the Hawaiian mission. He was a democrat until two years ago, when he became a republican.
