SOUTHERN BANKERS WILL HANDLE BILLS COTTON INTEREBTB DENOUNCE THE LIVERPOOL BILL OF . LADING SCHEME. UNFAIR TO HONEST FACTORS Imputation Cast on South'* Factors Resented by Rsprssentstivss of Southern Firms. New Orleani. —The cotton Interests of the South will have absolutely nothing to do with the Liverpool spin ners' scheme of a New York clearing bouse for cotton bills of lading. This was settled beyond perndven ture when ringing resolutions de nouncing the scheme was passed by the representatives of Southern cot ton Interests gathered at the New Or leans cotton exchange to discuss the matter and to hear an explanation of the plan by C. 8. Might, the repre sentative of European interests. While the resolution! deplored the losses resulting from the failure of the Knight-Yancey and the Steele Miller cotton firms, it declared these cases were most unusual, and that the remedy proposed by the Liverpool spinners was repugnant to sound business principles and further de signed to rellevtt railroad companies 6f their legal responsibility for the acts of their agenta. It 'Was felt that an imputation wni cast upon Southern cotton factors and business men by the (light plan, In that it assumed all were dishonest until the New York validating bureau pronounced them otherwise. More careful and discriminating business methods was pointed out as a solution of the difficulty and the refusal of foreign buyers to deal with any Amer ican firm who were not known to be reputable and whose business meth ods were not known to be above HUS plcion. the old established whtrrh hail built UP A reputation for solidity, fair dealing and honesty would be reduced to the same level as the wildcat! concern, and denied the advantage to which their strength and reputation entitled them, C. 8. Knight, the New York attor ney, who represented the European spinners and bankers, miuH a game fight against overwhelming odds and won the admiration of the cotton men for his gameness, though they deprecated his stand and assail ed hlB logic. He realizes from the start that he was talking to men who opposed his plan stublornly. They were men who had millions at stake, and whose systems of doini? business, which had taken a lifetime to perfect, were being Imagined, and they them selves placed under simpleton by the demand of Mr. Might s clients. To signal out cotton shipments for such exceptional and unique surveil lance and Insurance when similar safeguards were not thrown around grain, pig Iron and cattle, was equiv alent to stamping the cotton Interests of the South ns unworthy of credi bility, and merchants with whom a foreigner could trade only at his per il, said those present. This view, thi Southern exporter, banker and cotton merchant are determined to resist. The fact that the scheme was worked out and finally promulgated without consulting the Southern Interests as to their attitude had nothing to do with the convention's opposition. It was Inherent in the conditions which existed. WAR ON THE BREAD TRUST Union Will Establish Factories In tha Strongholda of Comblnee.

"I served two years in Mr. Cleve land's cabinet with Mr. Harmon, und I am prepared to say positively that far from being ultra ••nservatlve.

For financing the crop of this year, a resolution was adopted to the ef fect that the farmer should deposit his cotton* In a warehouse, and use his receipt as collateral until he could sell his cotton at a fair price, ot less than 15 cents.

BULLETS INSTEAD OF BREAD Riots Arm ths Result of Dlaeowtant Over the Incrsaae in Cost of Living. Vlenba, Austria. —A critical situa tion has arisen in Vienna owing pri marily to the hi(h price of tha neea* sitiea of life. Rlota broke out and many persons were killed or wounded. 1 Troops flrad on tha mobs, which had erected bar ricades in the streets. There was a fierce exchange of bullets and the soldiers were pal ted with all aorta of mlaallas. Following a huge Socialist demon air&tlon outside the Rathhaus, held to protest against the high prices of food, It became necessary to call out troops to disperse the rioters. In the early clashes fifty of the rioters were wounded and one hundred **- rested. Fifty thousand persona were pres ent at the demonstration and fiery speeches were made demanding that the government permit the importa tion of foreign meat and take other measures to remedy the conditions which have resulted from the prohibi tory increase In the price of food pro ducts. After the meeting a large pro cession marched to the parliament buildings, cheering for revolution and Portugal. The agitation ia the culmination of mouths of bitter dlacontent over the ateAdy increase in the oost, not only of food, but of lodging, clothing and all the necessaries of life, and unletfs parliament takes action its is feared that the developments of the disturb ances will be serious. The rioting was of a most deter mined a"nd savage character. Although an official account states that only one person was killed by a bayonet thrust, several wounded by a volley and about sixty seriously wounded, there is reason to believe that the casual ties were much higher. Unofficial re ports say that six persons were killed nnd more than two hundred severely injured. DEATH CLAIMS SEN. CARTER Montana Ststosman Was Picturssqua Figure In National Politics.
