Ex-Congressman Forney Dead.
Washington, D. C. Jan. 18.—
Speaker Crisp has received a tele-gram
announcing the death of ex-
Representative Forney of Alabama.
William Henry Forney, of Jack-sonville,
was born in Lincolnton,
N. C, Nov. 9, 1828; received a
classical education, graduated at the
university of Alabama in 1844;
served in the war with Mexico as a
first lieutenant in the first regiment
of Alabama volunteers; studied law,
was admitted to the bar in 1848;
was elected by the legislature ol
Alabama a trustee of the university
of Alabama, and served 1851 60;
was a member of the state house of
representatives of Alabama 1859 60;
entered the confederate army at the
commencement of hostilities in 1861
as captain, and was successively
promoted major, lieutenant colonel,
colonel and brigadier general; sur.
rendered at Appomattox Court-house;
was a member of the state
senate of Alabama 1865-66, serving
until the state was reconstructed;
was elected to the forty-fourth,
forty-fifth, forty-sixth, forty-seventh,
forty-eighth, forty-ninth,
fiftieth, fifty-first and fifty-second
congresses as a Democrat.
Cotton Market.
New Oeleans, Jan. 18.—Glenny
& Co. say: Liverpool, spot sales,
12,000. Futures quiet at 3 64 ad-vance.
New York opened 9 points up,
then declined 10 points.
New Orleans, March sold at
opening at 7.71, but declined and at
12:80 ruled 7.50. There was con-siderable
excitement early in the
morning, due to the report that
Neill Bros., of London and New
Orleans, were inclined to trim their
crop estimate from 7,*700,000 bales
to 7,400,000. Neill, senior, of New
Orleans, denies this. Receipts
continue heavy at ports and inter
ior points, and this coupled with
Neill’s statement broke prices. The
present outlook for the market is
unfavorable.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 18.—
Ex-Speaker Reed is not ready to
concede that the Wilson tariff bill
will pass the house. “There will be
elements of doubt until the final
vote is taken,” said he. “To be
sure party spirit is running high,
and the probabilities are that the
majority will keep their ranks suf-ficiently
together to pass the bill;
still, I am not ready to concede
that they can do this. You can
never tell how these questions are
going until the final vote is taken.”
Chairman Wilson regards its
passage as a foregone conclusion
and is making no estimates on the
vote. “I have made no exaot calcu
iations and will make none,” he
said, “as I am confining my atten-tion
to the stages of the bill as they
develope from day to day.”
Representative Tarsney has been
regarded as the statistician of the
committee on the economic ques-tioc3
involved. “I think the pre-liminary
votes on the amendment
show,” said he, “that the Wilson
bill will carry by not more than five
short of the full Democratic mem-bershipj’
This estimate does not inolude
Populists who are likely to vote for
the bill. 4
Representative Hoppbs, a Re
publican member of the ways and
means committee, says there is lit-tie
doubt as to the passage of the
bill.
Stanford vs. Huntington.
San Fbancisco, Jan. 18.—The
filing last evening of the legal in-ventory
and appraisement of tie
estate of the late Leland Stanfoid
brings to light further information
on the reported trouble .between the
Stanford and Huntington interests
in the Southern Pacific. Mrs.
Stanford, as executrix, also filed a
sworn declaration that certain
property belonging to the estate had
not come into her possession, though
the knowledge of the ownership of
such property by the estate had
come to her. The declaration adds
that she is proceeding with due
diligence to obtain possession of
such property, which she believes
to be in the hands of other persons
in New York and elsewhere, though
she is now unable to ascertain their
nature or value. For these reasons
she asks the privilege of filing a
supplementary inventory. The esti-mated
value of these missing stocks
is $8,000,000, One clause in Mrs.
Stanford’s supplementary deolara-tion
names the missing property,
among which ale 11,250 shares of
Southern Paoific; 1939 bonds of the
Galveston, Harrisburg and San An-tonio
5 per cents, and 799 Mexican
International firsts. Oiher missing
stocks are in roads east of the
Mississippi river. Mrs. Stanford’s
assertion that she is proceeding
with due diligence to seoure these
stocks, the Examiner says, means
she has made S, formal demand on
Huntington, and if the answer
,ghould be a refusa', suit will be
begun.
The Chionicle says: “The inside
workings of the Southern Pacific
will,be exposed if Mrs. Stanford
should take judicial steps to recover
the property which has been kept
out of her possession as executrix of
of her husband’s will. One guess
as to the reason why Huntington
has not put them in her grasp is,
that in the recent financial pinch
the Southern Pacific experienced,
Huntington borrowed money on
them, because he did not have the
ready cash.”
Outside these missing stooks and
tlje property which now belongs to
the Stanford University, the late
senator’s-whole estate is appraised
at $17,638,319.

A Lecturer Mobbed.
Appleton, Wis., Jan. 18.—
Sims, an A. P. A. lecturer, was
mobbed at Kaukauna last night. A
mob of 2,000 people collected out-side
the hall and stoned the hir'd-ing.
Sims and a party of friends
barricaded the doors and resisted
the assaults of -the mob. The
sheriff of Outagamie county was
sent for by Mayor Renter, who also
telegraphed for militia, which Gov-ernor
Peck denied unless asked for
by the sheriff. The sheriff’s party,
dispersed the mob and with the help
of the local officers escorted Sims to
his boarding house. The mob fol-lowed,
throwing stones. Sims was
knocked senseless by a stone, but
the officers fought the mob off and
got him safely to his lodgings. The
mob then dispersed. Sims was es-eorted
to the train this morning by
three men armed with Winchester
rifles, and left for Ashland- Bitter
