Heavy Buying in this Country and ; Europe, Due to Settlement <>f Lan? cashire Labor Trouble und Im? provement In Dry Goods Trader? Cciimis Bureou's Ginning DLsap POlnted Bears. New York, Jan. 26.?Weekly prices of cotton have risen under the spur of a big demand for the actual cot? ton at home and abroad. The Con? tinent has been heavy buyer in Liver? pool. British spinners have been calling freely for cotton, and in this country Europe has been a large buyer. The exports have been a ! rush to get cotton for January ship- ' ment, export business having to some extent held up by the recent severe weather. The Lancashire mills have resumed work on full time and cloths have been In good demand at Manchester. In this country the tendency of the dry goods market la manifestly towards a gradual Improvement, none the less certain if rather slow. In New York, thouph prices sag? ged for a time linger considerable liquidation, including no little selling by spot houses, there have latterly l een signs of awakening life and strength, which have confirmed many in the belief that the low price of the crop was touched in December and that henceforth tho trend will be upward for the reason that the weight of even u mammoth crop is off the market. M amime Europe is taking even the lower grades of cotton at the South with greater readiness, to say nothing of the white cotton, which ' seems none too easy to get. Though the interior receipts are increasing, ' owing to milder weather at the South, ' the interior shipments keep pace with the increase. All the signs, in the estimation of many, point to an insatiable demand from Europe, j?here *^j^*?r? fre r?bi.f to lay^ in ei^ppl^e?' at current ^prices aft^fr the muhh higher prices of recent&ears.

The> &iyrus bureai'g total of tho gin* nins; up to January 10, 14,150,000 bale.*, is nearly 100,000 bales small? er than had been expected. On the other hand, It is still insisted that with the ginning thus r^i, rouggMy speaking, some'5,000,000 bales in ex? cess of tho Quantity brought into sight, it is a hazardous proceeding? to startj a bull campaign, seeing that this cotton may come on the market \siih a rush on any good advance. Also, it is contended trlat recent i ains 'have p?H the soil of the South . in the best condition known for j years p ist and that even at current * jfl prices. to say nothing of higher prlcea, thwre is no likelihood of any (lecreaso in the acreage. So that, with a soil fortified against drought and another big acreage impend- J lng, another big crop may have to he faced, especially as recent ?j!d weather is said by a Government ex? pert to have disposed of boll weovil f<?r two years to come. But the sharp deii ftnd for tho actual cotton, chiefly fronj Europe, is tho domi? nant figure^ conjoined with an ab? sence of selling pressure.

ISTS PUT TO DEATH. leading Light? of Hot-tempered Country's Latest Revolution Snuff? ed out at One Blow. Guayaquil, Ecuador. Jan. 28.?An infuriated mob today broke into the Quito penitentiary in spite of a double guard and lynched Gen. Elroy Al faro, Flavlo Alfaro, Mendaro Al faro, Clpiano Paez and Manuel Zer rano, all prominent revolutionists. With the putting to death of Gen. Elroy Alfaro, ex-president of Ecua? dor; his brother, Gen. Flavio Alfaro ex-minister of war and Commander in-chief of the revolutionary forces; Gen. Madero Alfaro, who is believed to have been a brother of the two other Alfaro's, and two generals, Paez and Manuel Sorrano, the leading lights in Ecuador's last revolution, have been snuffed out. This revolu? tion, although it had been a long? time brewing, began in reality a few days following the sudden death on December 22 la3t of President Emilio Estrada. The first of the drastic measures taken by those who opposed the rev? olution was carried into effect last Thursday at Guayaquil when Gen. Pedro Montero, who was proclaimed president by the troops after the death of Estrada, was shot and be? headed by a mob, which later burn? ed his body. The shooting of Montero took place in the court room where the general had jutt been tried by courtmartial and sentenced to 16 year's imprisonment for his connec? tion with the revolt. The people, evi? dently angered at what they consid? ered a too light sentence rushed into the court room, and, after riddling Montero's body with bullets, dragged it into*the open. Then they decapi? tated it, built a bonfire and threw into the tlames the torso and head of the man who once was a popular hero in Ecuador.

Follow? ing his address a collection for the purpose of obtaining funds to sup ? port the Civic League Nurse,was tak? en and $255 was raised in cash and promised subscriptions for this fund. Mr. MeLeod was listened to with attention throughout his address, which was altogether along lines that the occasion demanded. He told of the good that the civic leagues woge doing all over the country and incidentally how they were helping Sinnter along with other places. He spoke of the need of following the gospel teachings which sanction and commended the work of charity. He spoke of the great charity work that was being done by the city nurse among the poor people of the city and bow many a home had been brightened and helped by her in her visits to the sick and afflicted. He, discussed the subject fully and hy words seemed to meet the approb;iu/i i f his audience. / At the close of his address/Dr. Brown read the report of th/city nurse and added a few words/of en? dorsement* to what had been/said.

Washington, Jan. 28.?Although ] up to thi3 time Senator Tillman has made good his word that he has said all he is going to say on the Watter son-Wilson matter, at least for the present, the situation continued to be the sole topic of conversation where ever politicians and public men met here today. What the opponents of Woodr' Wilson are now bent upon, it is ^ declared, is to compel Gov. W' to make public the names of con? tributors to his campaigr d. They are seeking to forec him to reveal the source of the money that has been used to keep Wilson headquar? ters in New York open, to conduct a literary campaign, and to form Wilson organizations in many States. On the other hand, it is promised that in the next few day?* there wiu be a rallying to Gov. Wilson on the part of his friends and admirers that will i prove he has not only lost no strength on account of the break with Colt Harvey and the attacks of Col. Wat teison. but that he has gained. In? fluential men in congress, who are heart and soul for Wilson, and who believe that he is the one hope of the Democrats next November, are ex . pected to declare for him in such i fashion as will give a great impetus to his campaign. Talk is afloat that a letter may soon be given out which was vritten i by Gov. Wilson to Col. Harvey at the time of the Jackson day ban? quet. Two versions of this letter are given. The Wilson men say that It, disproves that Gov. Wilson treated i Col. Harvey wrongfully or with In- , gratitude. The anti-Wilson men say $ amounts to an apology to Col. Har- ' ''eV./tor the wav he was treated. Aa 'i%?$*?kio^ since Col. Watterson gate ottt big statement say- j lug he was authorized; to raise cam- j pagin funds f or .Qov. Wilson, and ad- , mining ha conferred with Thomas Y Ryan, ,these things have happened. Gov. Wilson insists that the state ment th.v Col. Watterson was author -; ized to raise funds for* him is "ebso lutely without foundation." One manner la which the op? ponents of Wilson are seeking to use the Wifson-Harvey ^incident is this: TJiey are porting out that Wilson Used Col. Harvey to capture the gov? ernorship in? New Jersey and to get ifp to a certain point in his quest for the presidency. Then, they say, he I turne i on Harvey and "threw him ? down" when he saw he could ho long? er use him. In the light of this, say the anti Wilson men. what will happen to Bryaij?

It was known that Mr. Emanuel had been in bad health for about a month, but his ir ny friends throughout the county quite unprepared to hear that ' ad ended his life by his own /roner owers received a tele " ,ione message Sunday afternoon from Dr. Kirk of Rembert that it was unnecessary for him to come to Bor? den to hold an inquest as the family did not desire it and there wa3 no doubt that Mr. Emanuel had ended his own life by shooting himself. The Woodmen of th*j World were requested to take charge of the fun? eral and a number'of the Woodmen fron. Sumtir went out to Providence on Monday to officiate at the fun? eral.
