The bulls waited till the last moment with the expectation that he would bo able to raise the market , but they were disappointed , and must have lost considera ble , though ho could not give any idea of the amount 1lo believed ono result of the collapse - lapse would bo lo do nxTny with nny idea of runnlmron short time In the mills.

I There was nn exceptionally large 'attendance of cotton I manufacturers on 'change to-day , In consequence quence of the news of the collapsa of tuo corner. On nil sides the fall of the monopo lists was hulled with satisfaction , nnd not withstanding that the condition of affairs is .yet out ) of considerable uncertainty , there was u disposition to boJiovo'that the failure of the Steenstrand party to hold stocic is the signal for a total breaking up of the rlne. A louellnz merchant said In response to an inquiry : "Tho evldenco that the corner is smashed is complete , nnd I have no fear of tlieir Doing able lo recover themselves. Consignments from America have proved larger than wo expected and the corner 1ms been unable to take them up , consequently there is every reason to expect that the game is played out. There is yet nny amount of anxiety , but , we all expect this to got better and before an other week is past wo hope to have got down to the ordinary run of business. Undoubt edly the events of the last ten days have de moralized the trade oven beyond the present calculation to estimate , and tint only have the operators been the sufferers , but the spinners , and especially the smaller ones , have been wound up Ift pretty tightly. Hud the corner been able to bold Its own the damage to the weaker man ufacturers must hnvo been very great , as they could not hnvo afforded to close the mills during the tinio needed without seri ous ana In many cases perhaps irreparable injury being done to the concerns. As it is , however , wo rejoice that matters have boon hurried to an issue which Is all against thu corner and nil In favor of the musters und operatives , and , therefore , the country gen erally. " Mundlcy , secretary of the operatives' as sociatlon , said : "Tho Steenstrand party cornered far uioro material than any ring that 1ms previously cxis.cd. From March to September his liguro has boon ar > 3OJO bales. Morrm Hanger , whoso collapse you will re member , only took up 187,000 bales in that period , while Uungo , In 1SST , took up 151,000 bales. Steoustrana should yesterday have talten up something like 150,000 bales bud ho boon determined to Keep the corner intact , but only 105,000 were taken up. Ho Is evi dently a man of practical Judgment and has stopped Just soon enough for that consign ment. Ho would pay probably at the rate of 0d per pound , and If hq hold until other cargoes came no would possibly suffer a loss ol half a penny a pound , _ and 1 ca'oulnto that by this lie' would lese a sovereign per bale , and this on 100,000 would Just lese him more than he has made , and take away n considerable amount of his Speculating resources. The mistake made by Morris Hunger was that ho did not know when to stop. Steenstrand , however , has lioen much more artful aud has quit In time. " "How loig : do you Imagine the present un certainty will lust I" "I expect that by the end of next week the ring will have buon relocated to history.

The democratic state convention assembled hero to-day and elected Lieutenant Governor Jones tem porary chairman. Ho made a somewhat lengthy speech , in which bo referred to thu defeat of the uurty at the last national election , and stated that Its members were not discouraged or demoralized , but ready to renew their allegiance to thu platform of 1SSS. In spoaklim of ClOvoland'n administration ho said thu History of the country does not record a more successful administration than that of 1.SS3 to 18S9 , and continued : "Every interest am agonistic to that of the pcopla made common cause against the democrats. Not only did wo have to contend with the wealth of the plutocrats , mammoth combines of capital , great trusts and unscrupulous monopolies who joined their forces , but all thu minor interests that were prospering under the advantages af forded by the high protective tariffs , and our attempts at stemming thu current of boodle were as futile ns the damming of the Missis sippi river itself. Never before in the his tory of tlio country has an administration gained the control of the government through such wild and extravagant prom ises , and never lias an administration so soon gone to protest. " Referring to the part pensions played In the late campaign the lloutonant-govornor said : "Many nn old soldier was prejudiced by misrcpresentatlor.s of the mnnaxomcnt of the pension department under the demo cratic administration. When their interests were in our hands not only nil tlio rights but the honor of the veterans was protected. To-day ho why risked his life leadlngtho for lorn hope and was carried from the battle Held after tlio conflict was ended maimed for life , Hndd himself in the estimation of his claims on the gratitude of his country rated no higher than the bounty Jumper and deserter , and now ho confesses with shanio that ho helped by his vote to place in power nn administration that wantonly brands him and every comrade who holds an hoilorublo discharge with the basest , htigmn of disgrace. In the political campaign of 1S33 the soldiers were promised pensions galore. Influenced by their prejudices and tempted by their greed they rallied to tlio republican standard by regiments. When the administration assumed power their con fidence was renewed and they foil encour aged by the appointment of one from their own ranks as commissioner of pensions , who , upon assuming oQIcc , assured his old com rades that thu liberal promises that ho had made by authority on thu slump should bo faithfully kept.

Ho was a faithful soldier who thought ho wa3 obeying the orders of his superior ofll- cers when ho opened the flood gates of the treasury. " Ho was frequently applauded. His al lusion to Cleveland ovoited hearty cheering , which was continued for over a minute. The usual committees were appointed aud recess taken until 5 o'clock. On reassembling the temporary organiza tion was made permanent and the platform adopted. It reafllrms the doctrines of the democratic platform of 1SSS , and says : "Wo do not advocate free trade , but steadfastly advocate the principle of tariti reform. " President Cleveland's administration is In dorsed. The republican party Is charged with obtaining power by corruption , false pretence * , intimidation und the cociclon of voters , unperformed promises and tlio shameless trafficking of cabinet nnd other offcees to the highest bidders.

Wo believe the liquor tradlu should be restrained and regu lated by Just and equitable excise laws rig idly enforced , which should bo uniform throughout the stato. " The republicans of Now York , Massachusetts , Rhode Island and Pennsylvania are denounced tor submit ting or professing to submit prohibition amendments only to defeat them at the polls.

A Probability That tlio South Una Taken Water , nut tlio North Would llnvo None of It in Hers. At Slnnx Falls. Sioux F.tu.s , S. D. , Oct. 1. [ Special Tel- grain to TUB Hin. : ] Tlio most important campaign ever lichl In South Dakota was brought to a close last night. Tlio election has been hotly contested only in respect to the question of prohibition. Tlio democrats made no effort to push thulr ticket , and party lines were forgotten. In this city the Issue was prohibition in tlio con stitution or not. It was feared that serious trouble would follow tlio attempt , wlitch was laid at the door of the whisky men , to poll a largo fraudulent vote. A registration of 0,000 In a city which could not expect to poll over 2,500 votes did not look well , but the schema was discovered mid exposed. Tlio citizens took prompt hold of the matter und their energetic action doubtless saved much trouble and disgrace. Fraud did not duro to attempt to carry out his well laid schemes ami law was tri umphant. Thcro was nothing to bo desired regarding the weather mid a full veto re sulted. Whllo the 'work at the polls was earnest and some challenging was douogood , order prevailed , The Women's Prohibition league spoilt seine tinio at the different urcclncts , and several hundred children marched In proces sion to the different polls and sang appropri ate songs. The eyes of all South Dakota have boon anxiously turned upon Sioux Palls to-day , and the president of the State Pro hibition league offered u reward for oviduiico of Illegal voting , but fortunately the election has been u fairly honest ono. This city polled 2,174 votes , which I mil. c.ites an honest election. This city will give live or six hundred ma jority against prohibition , but the anti-pro- hlbitionlsts admit their defeat In tlio state. The capital contest is closo. - Democracy Downed. HISMUICK , N. D. , Oct. 1. ( Special Tola- gram to TiicUKC. ] The day has boon fair , and in all probabilities a full vote has been polled at this the tirst state election m North Dakota. The returns thus far received indicate tnat the entire reoublican ticket 1ms been elected , although the democratic central comunttco claim that tlio result in the congressional light is still in doubt. The claim is not well founded , us the returns from numerous counties show increased republican majori ties anil indicatu u rcpubltu.ui victory by between eight and ton thousand majority. The three associate. Justices of the supreme court huvo a still larger majority , us the democrats had nut two o anuidates in the Hold and made no Hunt on this point. The democrats claim that Hansbrough's majority for congress is less tli an three thousand , but the returns from the western part of the state show that ho has polled the party strength. Returns on ttio legislative tioUot are meagre , but tlio tleures thus far received satisfy the republi cans that they huvo elected a largo majority and tli nt the democrats will not have more than twenty members of the ninety-two. It is u clean sweep for republicans , unless the returns from the northwestern coun ties , which are looked upon as democratic strongholds , shall change the tide. These counties have not beou heard from at this hour (10:20 ( p. in. ) . The republicans have n majority of 3,000 in the counties thus far hoard from , In the western part of the state prohibi tion has been snowed under by an over whelming majority , and although the prohi bitionists prosecuted a vigorous campaign in thn eastern counties the reports show that they have bucn defeated there. The majority against prohibition is not large , but It is suf- Hull-lit to settle the question in the stato. The constitution is adopted by a rousing majority , and North Dakota is now ready to step into the union with a republican In every olilco. The successful candidates are : For congress , H. S. HanHbraugh , of Uamsoy county ; governor , John Millar , of Illchiand county ; lieutenant governor , Alfred Dickey , of Stutsmnn ; secretary of state , John Flit- tor. of Fraill ; state treasurer , E.

A special from Tacoma , Wash. , says 1)10 ) complexion of the legislature must remain in doubt until the vote is fully counted. The Boparato articles to the constitution , embrac ing prohibition und woman suffrage planks , are unquestionably defeated by a largo ma jority. A special from Hismark , N.

In Morton county the republican legis lative tlol'ot is elected , and in Stark , whcra there was a sharp light , the republican legislative ticket is-olectcd. In the Klducr- Kmmons district the same is true.

It says tno legislature cannot bo forecast , but is confident of a republican majority. The Journal says the country districts show largo republican gains over Carter's major ity of 5 0 last year , and the returns from IJutto and Deer Lodge cannot overcome the republican country districts. The result cannot be surely given before to-morrow. The Outlook : at Slidnllit ; , ST. P.IVL , Oct. 1.

OMAIU Urn , ] ' Girt FoUKTKBVTIt STItnUT , } WASHINGTON- . C. , Oct. 1. | During the last days of President Clove- land's administration the government's loans to national banks increased to about 505,000,000. General Harrison , during the campaign , promised that the amount should bo de creased , since It Is well known most of the loans were made to favor politicians and were not In the Interest of the people. That promise Is being fulllUcd. The aggregate has been decreased to about $15,000,000 r.lnco March , and before congress convenes it will come down niuoh further , to probably $25,000,000 , und perhaps one-half of what it Is at present. This money , as It piles up in the treasury , is being applied as rapidly ns posslblo to the purchase of outstanding bonds , and the application of the mono/ to the purchase of bonds in the open market Is so greatly in excess of the reduc tion of the loans to the national banks that no fear can possibly bo entertained in any quarter - - tor that the calling in of the loans will dis tress or iifTcct the monov market. It may affect thu volume of the operating funds of n few national banks , but It can not In the least degree nmko an Impression upon the circulating medium of the country. It is sim ply taking the government's money out of the hands of national banks and putting it into the pockets of bondholders who will seek borrowers. It Is probable that. President Harrison's message to congress In December will show that under his administration Iho loans to Iho national banks have been reduced two- tlurdK , und tnat by the end of the present Usual year there will bo none outstanding , Tin ; ic.viGiiTS Ti.Mi'iju. : A Ivnlghts Templar coiumlttcoman spout Homo time ; in the white house to-day in con sultation with President and Mrs. Harrison respecting the reception to bo tendered by the llrst man and woman of tno country dur ing the conclave nivxt week.

After the transaction of routine business the dele gates sat down to tut informal banquet ton- dcrcd them by the local association. George William Curl's presided. This evening President Curtis delivered his annual ad dress at association ball. There wus a Targe ' audience prosont. The following is u syi0i- | | sls of the address : Sinceotif last annual meeting the second party change in the administration of the national government has occurred. Seven months of the now ud'jihustration have passed , and as friends of civil service reform our questions to-day are obvious and simple. What was the declaration of the successful party upon the subject of reform ! What were the pledges of its candidates ) How have those pledges been fulfilled , and what are the prospects ol reform ? The irrepressible platform pledged the party to many things , but , to nothing with such reduplicated and reiterated /ojl as to reform in the civil service ; and having done this in the most precise and positive words , it pledged the party with especial fervor to keep Us pledges. To the ardor of Ihe platform the protesta tions of the president , as a candidate , fitly and fully responded. Ho declared that it would bo his sincere purpose , if elected , to advance reform. Ho said that , fitness und not party service should lie iho essential test in appointment , that fidelity und ofllcloncy should be the only sure tenure of ofllco , uu\ that only tlio Interest of the public service should suggest removals from olllcii. How , then , have the pledges of the suc cessful party und candidate been fulfilled ! Have fidelity and fiflleieni'y proved to bo the sure tenure ol ofllcei Has fitness nnd not parly HOI vice been the essential lest In de termining appointments i Has the interest of the public service alone dictated removals from olllcci Has the gicat pledge of the platform that the spirit and purpose of re form should be observed in all executive ap pointments been honorably fulfilled ! Or have such appointments generally boon made precisely us tl.o.v would have boon made had there been no platform , romiscs , no pledges of tlio candidate and no public Interest In civil service reform I The knowledge of every citizen in Ins own community answers. The daily record of the nowsimpars , for seven mouths answers. The ( jonor.il political proscription ; the policy which President Harrison when a senator defined as "tlio frank and bold , If hrutu ) , method of turning men and women out simply for poli'Ic.il opinioni" the clean pwccp which Is proceeding In the postofllco ; the alarm which pervades every brunch of the Horvieo ; the open , flagrant con tempt for public opinion , for private Information , und for the party promise , which was shown In the appointment of the hue commissioner of pensions ; the executive refusal to include thu eon DUB service In the r les and the removal of public ollleerH con spicuously lilted by character , ability and ox- purionco , who have absolutely and confess edly disregarded politics In tholr devotion to ofllclul duly and the public service , all these facts , and such as these , answer the ques tion , how has thu executive action conformed to the party promise and the president's pledget AH with all progress worth fighting for , tuo contest Is stubborn and resolute , Delays and defeats are Inevitable , but temporary , The advance Is sure. The thumloi-M of the church did not persuade Galileo that the earth did not move , and the roar of the party machine and the gross violation of publiu pledges by the president , the postmaster general , by senators and reprosontuUvos In congress , by parly commitloos and local leaders , all of which we have heard und seen before , do not convince tm that the reform sentiment of the country Is not stronger every day , S tilVcrlntr I'rai cd In OiuihiHkn.
