CARTER XOT GRANTED DA IL PENDING HIS APPEAL. Stntement In Which He Sayn He Is Innocent, nnil that Others Should lie Punished, LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Feb. 13. ExCaptaln Obcrlln M. Carter, U. S. A., serving a sentence In the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth for defrauding the government on harbor contracts, to-day suffered another defeat In his attempt to secure release. Judge Hook, In the United State District Court, refused to release the prisoner on . ball, and ordered that he be remanded to the penitentiary to await the action of the United States Supreme Court on tho appeal In his habeas corpus case. Judge Hook held in substance that the judgment of the court-martial was final unless set aside by the Supreme Court of the United States. There were nearly 300 people In the courtroom and along the corridors, and they manifested a great desire to get a look at the prisoner. This annoyed Carter, and he tried to avoid facing the spectators. Before being taken back to the federal prison this afternoon Carter issued the following statement: "I am absolutely innocent. I was mistakenly condemned by a military tribunal, which has no power to compel the testimony of civilian witnesses,, simply on a majority vote, for an alleged civil offense which the ablest engineers of America, both civil and military, swear did not exist. When ex-Senator Edmunds, appointed by the prosecution to review the proceedings in my case, declared that Illegal evidence was admitted in my trial, but that nevertheless I was not proven guilty of the only offense of which I now stand condemned, and it thus became known that tho verdict of the military tribunal wua a mistake, a man was employed by the prosecution to conduct a secret Investigation. Thus, while I was led to believe that my caso was again being passed on Judicially, 1 was in fact being tried in secret on a matter not before the military tribunal, not taken In my presence, end since proven to be false. I pleaded for a trial In a court of justice, but I was informed that interests higher than mine might suffer by the disclosure of the incidents attending my prosecution, and I was Imprisoned whero it was known I was powerless to compel a trial. Now, for the first time, has a way appeared In which I may secure a trial in a court of Justice of full powers and thus establish my Innocence. "I have, however, no word of criticism of the army at large, which knows nothing of the facts in this case, nor of the President, who had no time personally to examine Into my case, and who had the right to assume his ad.isers in this matter honest; but I shall not cease to demand an opportunity legally to establish the truth, no matter whom it hurts, not only v.t vindicate my own manhood, but to remove the stain upon the honor of the army caused by the mistaken conviction of an Innocent man." NEW PUTUKITY. Terre Haute Trotting Association Offers Stakes for 1903 nnd 1001. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Feb. 13.

PAID FOR . EXPERIENCE

FOKFKIT OP $.",000 StlinrADHUED BY TIIC FIGHT PROMOTERS. Saengerfest Athletic Association Have h Ilenefit !Vo More PnglHsm In Ohio. to CINCINNATI, Feb. 13. Tte Jeffrles-Ruh-lln contest, scheduled for to-night, was declared off judicially yesterday and officially to-day. Previous to the application for a permanent injunction, and when the general opposition to the contest Included Governor Nash and the full power of the State, the only thing on which the promoters depended was the permit that had been Issued by Mayor Fleischmann for the proposed contest to-night.- That permit expired at midnight, and its renewal is not expected by any one. Judge Holllster today indorsed the entry of the decree forbidding the contest. A significant feature of the entry on record of this decree is that the SaenKerfest Athletic Club is enjoined also from accepting from the mayor In tho future a permit for a pparrlng match, a glove contest or a prize fight. The entry la made so sweeping as to apply to all such events in Hamilton county and elsewhere in Ohio. Jeffries appears at the home of Governor Nash in Columbus tomorrow night and Ruhlln at Marietta. O. Word reached the pugilists to-day that the Governor not only intended to stop boxing contests in Ohio, but also to investigate these sparring exhibitions. They will both keep their engagements, and no trouble is feared, as they simply give an exhibition of sparring. Jeffries is to be here next week with his company, which will appear one night for the benefit of the Saengerfest Athletic Club. About $50,000 had been taken in on the sale of tickets, and this will be refunded on the presentation of the tickets at the Atlas National Bank on and after next Tuesday. After a Joint meeting of the Saengerfest Athletic Association directors and of Managers Brady and Madden, the 510,000 of forfeit on deposit at the Atlas National Bank was this afternoon turned over to Brady and Madden. They had each deposited $2,500 of this amount and received the same back in equal amounts. Of the $5,000 forfeit deposited for the Saengerfest Athletic Association, Brady received $3,75) and Madden only $1,250. This was due to the fact that Brady had borne all the expenses except those at the training quar ters of Ruhlin. lirady has had l-d G. Cooke here with the promoters for months. He also secured the tickets and paid thoso in charge of the ticket ofllce since Jan. 23 and such other expenses as were necessary. Brady was the manager for the Saenferfest Athletic Association as well as for Jeffries. Immediately after he received the forfeit money and settled In full with the Saengerfest Athletic Association Manager Brady Issued a card of thanks, and stating that his company would give a performance for the benefit of the athletic association. Tonight the Saengerfest Athletic Association formally accepted the proposition of Manager IJrady, and announced that there would be an auction sale of seats for the benefit performance in the Chamber of Commerce early next week. Manager Brady said to-day that he would not accept any propositions for Jeffries to ngage In any contests In the future unless there was a legal as well as a financial guarantee. "We will go ahead with our theatrical venture for the present," said Brady, "and will pay no attention to any propositions for Jeffries to meet Ruhlin or any other man. Our experience here has been a warninj to us. and I, for one. do not care to go through the worry and loss that this match has occasioned me." t At a meeting of the Saengerfest -Athletic Assocation letters were received from several business men of this city Inclosing their tickets for $15 and upwards for the benefit of the Saengerfest deficit, and statl ing that they would not accept the proposed refund that is offered to purchasers of tickets next Tuesday and thereafter. One of the most Important letters was from John J. Cushlng, an attorney and a close personal friend of .Governor Nash from boyhood. He had not purchased any ticket, but had opposed the contest, and sent his check for $50 for the benefit of ths Saengerfest deficit. - Will Mnke nje, on , lus Ulnm. COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 15. Governor Nash is not satisfied with having prevented the battle of heavyweights which was to have taken place in Cincinnati to-night. He Is determined that there shall be no more prize fights In Ohio. Within a few days he will advise the sheriff of every county and the mayor of every city and town that the laws of the State forbid prize fighting within her limits, and that they must be obeyed. He has won his point In the great emergency, and ho will be consistent. Notes About the Fighters. Kid Parker lost the decision to Buddy King, colored, in a ten-round go at Denver. Al Nell, of Ban Francisco, bested Charlie Burns, of Cincinnati, at Hot Springs, Ark., last night in nve rounds. At a sparring exhibition in Kalamazoo last night. Billy Stifft. of Chicago, knocked out Ed Tierney, of Kokomo, Ind., in the third round. Manager Brady, in behalf of Jeffries, has accepted an offer of a purse of $5,000 for a wrestling match to take place in Chicago between Jeffries and Ruhlin. In a ring surrounded by the Canton, O., police, Eddie Gardner, of Wheeling, and Jack Hamilton, of Troy, X. Y., last night fought twenty rounds to a draw. Jack Downey, of Brooklyn, who was to meet Joe Gans, of Baltimore, In a twentyround go at Hartford. Conn., last night, refused to enter the ring, claiming that thcro was not enough money In the house. Downey was hooted by the 800 spectators. A report having reached Louisvillo that the Jeffries-Ruhlln fight promoters were on the way to that city to pull off the fight there, the grand jury at once notified tho city officials that it would go Into immediate session to consider the matter. Oscar Gardner, the "Omaha Kid." and Halch Smith, a local colored lightweight, fought twenty fast rounds at Tilden, Neb., early yesterday morning. Gardner was the aggressor throughout. By an agreement made before the fight the contest was declared a draw. Jack Bonner, of Philadelphia, and BUI Hanrahan fought twenty rounds before the Youngstown (O.) Athletic Club last night. Bonner was the aggressor throughout and was given the decision. The Ministerial Association of that city will hold a meeting tomorrow night and will ask the mayor to prohibit further boxing exhibitions. Otto C. Floto, manager of the Colorado Athletic Association, has telegraphed Manager Brady an offer to post a guarantee of $10,000 to bring off the Jeffrles-Ruhlin fight at Denver on any date in March that may be agreed upon. Should the offer be accepted a roofles arena, in which 15,000 spectators can be accommodated, will be constructed especially for this occasion. Brady, it is said, will tako no more chances, and will demand that $25.000 forfeit be put uy. AISLED AT BIO TRUST. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) him were not sufficient to warrant his removal.

The town now distributes mail to 40,000 people, scattered throughout the county. It Is now proposed to build a $30,000 postofiice, with facilities for this widespread rural distribution. Chairman Mercer, of the committee, says this Is the

first bill giving small towns postofflce-s based on the rural population they serve ii-stead of on the local population of tho town. MADRID IS NOW CALM WEYLCR AND BITTER COLD TOO MUCH FOR WOULD-BE RIOTERS. No Further Mob Manifestations, but Martial Lnir May Prevail Throughout Carnival Week MADRID, Feb. 13.-General Weyler has absolute control of the situation here, and his vigorous methods have restored per feet quiet. There wera no disturbances today. Martial law continues, but the troop are not patrolling the city in force. The crisis is regarded as postponed if not ended. Censorship of telegrams and the prcs is still enforced, but not as severely as n yesterday. The morning papers contained ro reference to the existing conditions. All dispatcher wero revised and delayed. The weather Is bitterly cold, and net conducive tc. mob manifestations. Martial law may. however, be continued through carnival week, when it Is fearsd the fetes wjll givs an opportunity for renewed disorder. Tne distensions in the Ministry, caused by the altitude of the government In dealing o fceverely with the populace, appear to have teen at least temporal ily healed. The dlsfrenttrs have agreed not to prove ke a crisis In the present rituation. The government is adopting a waiting policy. It hopes that, with the royal wedding over and the departure of Cascrtl, the excitement will Etc p. The minister of the Interior, Senor Urgarte, in the course of an interview ante rted that calm reigned in all the provinces and that if the same pacific behavior of tho people continued until after the carnival next week martial law would be discontinued in Madrid and throughout Spain, except in Catalonia. General Weyler says that for the present rigorous martial law will be maintained, but that if the same tranquillity continues that characterized the last two days he will soon Issue a milder proclamation. Kl Heraldo publishes a proclamation by General Weyler saying that he will do his test to avoid interfering with the powers of the civil authorities, but that as martial law has been proclaimed his duty Is to maintain order, independent of all present questions. Madrid remains perfectly calm, although the talk of a probable change of Ministry after the carnival is very strong. El Dii has been suppressed. Two persons were killed and several wounded yesterday In Granada. "Bread or Work Is Our RIrht.n BUDA-PESTH, Feb. 13.

Thirty-five arrests were made. TJ. S. Ii I. jB. Ii. A. Report of the Secretary Read at the Annual Convention. NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 15. The ninth annual convention of the United States league of Local Bullying and Loan Associations was called to order to-day in tho Essenlc council chamber by National Presiaent J. W. Bailey, of Somervllle, Mass. Secretary H. F. Cellarius read his annual report, which f ays: "There has been a substantial Improvement In" the building tnd loan association situation In the past six months, particularly in those, which in the last two years have been making a rather discouraging showing, namely, Illinois, Missouri and Indiana; and whlla building associations generally have, in b..Tie degree, been feeling the etfects of the retroactive movement in these States, the tncourag.ng change is being perceptibly felt. There Is a better undertone, which gives assurance that these associations are to resume their proper standinc In popular estimation, and this means much for their future success. They must, however, adhere to simple and safe business methods, be properly managed and directed, and then they will again merit and receive public approval. There never was a time when it was so necessary to ever bear In mind the Firople and fundamental principles which in the past have made the associa lions strong, popular and successful. Building associations are to-day confronted with changing conditions and their business metheds requiro some adjustment, but tills is no rearon for a radical departure from the tried, safe and simple rules of true cooperative building association methods and X-raetlce.

TRADE IN HEALTHY VOLVME. WITH A FAVORABLE OUTLOOK. Distributive Business Is Very Heavy Strong Iron and Steel Situntlon Textiles Continue Wenk. - NEW YORK, Feb. 15. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: Business continues of good volume In nearly all parts of the country, and reports from the West and Southwest of a tatlsfactory distribution of merchandise by Jobbers begin to have a familiar sound. Heavy orders come from agents on the road. There is no Important change in prices in any department of manufactured goods. Some staples rise while others decline, but the longer the situation remains as at present the surer the business world feels about a rise In prices in the future, for the demand for merchandise for prompt consumption does not decrease.. Some progress has been made in tho direction of settlement of labor difficulties In the far West and the temper of soft coal miners is more amicable, while there is little concern among steel interests over the sensational stories of organization at the mills to enforce demands for higher wages. At some points there are evidences of an inclination to delay operations in iron and steel until something definite is known regarding the proposed combination, but this applies only to small undertakings, which are Insignificant In comparison with the urgent dealings that cannot be postponed. Purchasers find difficulty In securing even approximate dates for delivery of goods in many products, and mills are so far behind orders, as a rule, that no new contracts are sought. Structural material and railway supplies are In greatest request, numerous heavy orders being accepted this week at full prices. There is no Inclination to shade quotations of finished forms, and pig iron at Pittsburg again advanced. No sign of weakness is apparent in any department of the boot and shoe industry. Some manufacturers have booked orders that will Insure running on full time well Into May, and It is an exceptional case where jobbers can secure March delivery, even from the smaller shops. Salesmen are returning from the West and South with most cheerful reports, and. while local jobbing Is less brisk than last week, there Is no complaint. Forwardings from Boston were 87,187 cases, against fc3,255 in the previous week. News regarding the textile manufacture Is less encouraging, despite the fact that sales of wool at the three chief Eastern markets rose to 6,372,600 pounds, far exceeding all recent records, and showing a gain of 9S0.0Ö0 pounds over the same week last year. It was at this time In 1900 that the movement commenced to fall off and the depression began which has continued ever since. Cotton fabrics continue quiet and domestic mills are not fully occupied. Liverpool cables have given no support, while Manchester is securing raw cotton from India in unusually large quantities. These influences caused a further decline in middling uplands, taking the price to the lowest point In three months. Exports in January were valued at $35,837,931, against $27,083.251 in 1900. but the increase was entirely due to an advance of 2.2 cents a pound in the price, as the quantity was 1,812 bales smaller. Wheat was advanced this week by reports of receipts at the mills unfit for grinding. Flour output at Minneapolis Is much smaller than a year ago, and a further decrease is expected. Atlantic exports of wheat. Including flour, for the week were 2.478.521 bushels, against 1,529,533 bushels last year. Failures for the week numbered 257 in the United States, against 218 last year, and forty In Canada, against forty-two last year. DRADSTREET ON TRADE. Conditions Are Very Good and the Outlook Is Detter. NEW YORK. Feb. 15. Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: "Trade advices are ralher more cheerful. This applies as much to current retail business, which has been enlarged by wintry weather, as it does to opening spring trade, which finds stimulation in the general confidence felt as to the outlook for the coming year. Prices show exceptional strength, all things considered, the ,one weak spot being raw cotton, which shares "the rather unsatisfactory tone manifested by ihe cotton goods and yarn markets. Foreign demand for breadstuffs has been rather better, and this is reflected in heavy exports, particularly of corn. Specially cheerful reports from the shoe and leather, the lumber and the Iron trades, the strength of prices of the latter having been increased by the talk of pertuing consolidations, although the volume of business is restricted from the same cause. Failures are smaller than of late, and current railroad earnings show large gains over the good returns of last year. Boots and shoes are in rather better demand at all markets. Retail distribution of theso and of rubber goods has been helped by current weather conditions. Good spring orders are reported at most markets, particularly Philadelphia, Chicago and Boston. Sole leather is active in sympathy. A fair volume of trade is doing a all leading iron markets and the advances noted in these columns last week are firmly held. Bessemer pig is still selling at $13.25 at valley furnaces, equivalent to $14 at Pittsburg, and sales of 10,000 tons are reported. Immediate deliveries of steel billets still cost 50 cents to $1 more than the pool price, $19.75. Chicago reports manufacturers' price lists Withdrawn pending the consolidation, but that billets are $2 a ton higher on sales of 20.000 tons. Structural material Is active, and the largest consumption since 1S95 is looked for. Wheat (Including flour) shipments for the week aggregate 4,814,878 bushels, against 4.907,813 bushels last weck, 3.834.0C9 bushels In the corresponding week of 1900 and 2,454.771 bushels in From July 1 to date wheat exports are 125,790,374 bushels, against 126.85o.3Cl bushels last season and 15y,0ö5,930 bushels in 1838-1899. Corn exports for the week aggregate 4.7G0.422 bushels, against 4,171.440 bushels last week. 3,4'j0,333 bushels in this week a year ago and 1,500,845 bushels in pm From July I to date corn exports are 124,704.306 bushels, against 13,187.109 bushels last season and 104,850,115 bushels in 1898-1899. Failures for the week In the United States number 226, against 20 laFt week, ltt in this week a year ago and 160 in 1899. DRADSTREET ON TRADE. Condition Are Very Good and the Outlook Is Better.
