Montgomery, November 28.—[Special]
At the opening of the session of the Gen
eral Assembly this morning, it was pretty
generally conceded that something had
happened and that the Senatorial fight
would he settled without invoking the aid
of another session of the caucus. Long
before the hour fixed for balloting arrived,
it was quietly spread around the capitol
building that Governor VY'atts ami Com
missioner Kolb would he withdrawn from
the Senatorial race and the joint session
would elect, at its sitting, either Mr. Pugh
or Mr. Seay.
The truth of the rumor was evidenced
by the fact that, there was au unusual ac
tivity among the workers, and every min
ute up to the time of opening the joint
session was spent in work. When the roll
call was commenced, the Watts men of
the Senate wheeled into the Pugh line—
and all the men who hail ever voted for
Kolb, except Messrs. NeSmith and Smith,
ot Mobile, went in their company. When
the House roll was commenced,
it was found that the Kolb
men early in the call preferred
. , Mr. Pugh to Mr. Seay, Speaker Clements
special j leading off for Pugh, followed by Mr.
Adams. The first Kolb man to go for Mr.
Seay was Mr. Bain, w ho was followed by
Mi Ars. Bevins aud Bishop, Davis of Fay
ette, Parks, Peacock, Townsend of Lime
stone. and Wilson.
Mr. Guthrie, who never voted before in
an open ballot, but who was a Kolb man,
voted for Governor Seay. The only Watts
man who voted for Mr. Seay was Mr.
Webb. Those who have heretofore been
voting for Mr. Seay, and voted otherwise
today, were Messrs. Ilayes, changed after
last night, and j ulie roll call, Foster and Sullivan,

as a viclory over any particular men or or

of the United States.

A THRILLING SCENE.
ESCAPE OF PASSENGERS FROM A BURN
ING STEAMBOAT.
New Orleans, November 2S.—A dis
patch from Bayou Sara says: When the
fire on the steamboat T. P. Leathers was
discovered yesterday, the boat was in mid
stream under full headway. She was at
once headed for Point Breeze landing, op
posite Fort Adams, Miss. People gathered
on the front deck so as to be as near the
shore as possible, and waited there as long
as possible while the steamer was being
driven in under full steam. As the boat
neared the bank, those of the rousters who
could swim began to jump into the river,
and before the boat was within a hun
dred yards of the hank the water
around her was black with struggling men.
The officers of the boat stood to their post
and did all they couid to prevent the
frightened passengers from jumping into
the river. When the boat got within a
few hundred feet of the bank, even the
fore-deck became so hot that it was impos
sible to stay there, aud all on board were
compelled to jump for their lives. Most
of them were provided with life-preservers
and it is believed all of those who waited
until the last minute to jump got safely
to shore. One white deck passenger, un
known, and four colored members of the
crew, were drowned. So far as known
everybody else escaped.

London, November 28 —The manifesto

dealing with all the questions involved in
the present political crisis, was made pub
lic tiiis afternoon. It tb-finilely settles
that Parnell will not voluntarily retire

length and sets forth why. in Parnell's
opinion, it would he disastrous to the best

REVIEW OF THE GRAIN AND PROVISION
MARKETS.
Chicago, November 28. — Wheat—The
difference between December and May ile-
livt ries widened as the session advanced,
and toward the end Jc was the prevailing
charge. In the last few minutes, prices
were at their lowest. At the close. May
wheat reacted to 101, and December was
nominally worth 934c.
Corn was firm when wheat was firm,
and continued in sympathy when the re
verse condition was applicable to the latter
eerial. The opening price for May was
•744e, and it advanced during the first half
hour to 54;.'. The closing quotations
were 55J to 55 jc. There was much more
[ pulling out of further short lines, how
ever, than the covering of those previ
ously existing. Local receipts amounted
to 155 ear loads.
Oats were fairly active for May, but near
delivery was neglected. The weakness in
other grains, and increased offerings by
the longs produced a decline of ;e. The
market closed quiet, almost at inside
figures, and about the same as on Wednes
day.
Pork The trading was moderately act
ive and the feeling was somewhat unset
tled. Prices fluctuated considerably. The
opening prices were, made at 2] to 5e de
cline. and prices rallied 12^ to 15c. Later,
prices gradually receded 15 to 17k', closing
at about inside figures.
Lard—-A fairly active trade was reported
and the feeling was somewhat nervous and
unsettled. Prices ruled 2) to 5c higher
early in the day, but gradually settled back
5 to 7)e and closed quiet.
Short Rib Sides—The trading was mod
erately active. Prices ruled 24 to 5e higher
early in the day, but later the advance was
lost. The market closed steady at. about
inside figures.
SUN’S COTTON REVIEW.
New Y'ork, November 28. Futures
opened at ti points decline, closing quiet
and steady at 5 to ti points decline from
Wednesday's closing prices. The decline
today was due mainly to the absence of
the sustaining influence which was appa
rent Wednesday, namely, the covering of
contracts anil manipulation. Liverpool
was weak and unsettled, giving no
encouragement to the bulls. It was as
serted, however, on the floor of the Cotton
Exchange that some leading bears had
taken advantage of the situation to cover
their contracts. Pcrhajn the advance in
silver ha<l a supporting influence in later
dealings. The weather at the .South was
generally reported so severely cold as to
prove a serious obstacle to picking.
Spot cotton here was dull.
who is ruts friend:’
London, November 28.— A dost- friend
of Parnell, who declared that Parnell re
gards the movement to expel him from
the leadership of the Nationalist party as
a radical revenge for his support of the
royal grants last summer, says that this
view of the case can be supported
by documentary evidence. This friend
considers that the Irish pirty,
if resolved into its elements,
would have no cohesion. Gladstone, he
says, has had his revenge on the man he
imprisoned in Kilmainhaim jail and who.
later, compelled the Liberal leader to con
sider the demands of the Irish people. The
meeting against Parnell's leadership, this
friend declares, was carefully planned.
THANKSGIVING DAY IN BERLIN.
Berlin, November 28.—Thanksgiving
Day was celebrated here yesterday by 400
Americans, who attended a banquet given
at the Kaiserhof. Mr. Chapman Coleman,
secretary of the American legation and
charge d'affairs during the visit
of Minister Phelps to the United
States, gave a toast to Emperor
William, who, he said, had adhered to the
avowal made at the time his accession to
the throne that he regarded himself as the
first servant of the State. Co'eman also
gave a toast to President Harrison, which
was responded to by Rev. Mr. Sherwood,
of New Y ork.
GUILTY OF ML'UDKK.
Marietta. Ga., November 28.—[Spe
cial.]— In the case of the State against
Caleb Coggins, charged with the killing of
Joe Wright on the 11th inst., the jury re
turned a verdict tonight. He is found
guilty with a recommendation to merr y.
The case has attracted much attention.
Coggins is one of an illicit distillery gang
who have terrorized the community for
some time past. Wright w<»s a witness
against Coggins in the Federal Court, and
not long afterwards he was ambushed and
murdered in cold blood. The verdict is
somewhat a surprise, as the principal wit
ness was Wright’s wife, a woman of had
reputation.
