Hubbard, Price & Co., in their cotton cir
cuar today, say deliveries failed to re-
spond TO the desires OF the cotton traders
this morning. and the decline reported was
80 short as 10 fail TO exert much influence
on prices, but the operators depressed the
market until dccine Of points was esiab-
lishod from yesterdays close, when advlccs
were received OF an advance In Liverpool
and the loss was quickly rcgalncd and n
slight advance established. The result OF
this advance was to destroy all trading and
the market for the balance OF the day was
very quiet, closing almost exactly at last
evenings prices, The demand from the
trade in Liverpool seems TO have slackcncd.
As the bull party IN Liverpool remains very
strong Il Is TO their advantage 10 work oil as
much Of their spot cotton rs possible and y
would not seem improbable that they may
attempt some such course rs this to relieve
themselves Of the unnecessary amount which
they now have on hand. No rain Is reported

An Office-Seeker Makes Persistent Attack
and Retires Discounted.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 1s.-President Har-
rison is not prone to mako promises. Many
times since he has been the occupant of the
White House, have office-seekers urged him
to promise an appointment, but he has
steadily refused to do so. The other day he
made up his mind to appoint a man who
did not want to file his application papers
unless he was promised the appointment.
After pressing his claim very persistently,
and showing good reasons why he did not
want to place his papers on file unless there
was a special promise of the place, the APP
plicant was about to withdraw from the
presence of the President, saying as he
did so, that he could not afford to make q
record of his aspirations while there was
the slightest probability of his appoint
ment not being made.
You may put your papers on file" said
the President, land assure you that l will
give them very early action. Just what
will do you cannot learn at this time. l
have made up my mind that / shall make
no promises. / do not propose to have peO-
pie going around on the street saying that
i have lied about appointments or any
thing else. During the administrations of
could meet men almost anywhere about
Washington declaring that the President
had lied to them; that he had promised
them places and had not kept his pledge. l
am determined this thing shall never be
said of me.

PAPERS MUST BE PRESENTED.

A Little Encounter Between Congressman
Funston and the Postmaster-General.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Representative
Funston, of Kansas, went to the Postoffice
Department to-day and asked the appoint
ment of gentlemanhe named to one of the
largest offices in his district.
Where are the papers" asked the Post
master general.
There are none to be fled" replied the
Representative; II have them at my room.
and recommend this man to be appointed
Are there any other candidates." asked
Mr.. Wanamaker.
Several"
well. send me down all the papers, and
i will look them over before l make the ap-
pointment."
That has not been customary" was the
reply; "the department has always per-
mitted the Congressman to make the
recommendation. and has held him re-
sponsible. He knows more about the dis
trict and the signers to the petitions than
the Postmaster-general-"
1T is our rule" said Mr.. Wanamaker, ito
call for all the papers, and examine them,
before making an appointment. 1t is very
likely that we will select your man."
Mr. Funston declined to submit the pa
pers, holding that it was the prerOgative of
the Congressman to select the man he
wanted among the several candidates for
Office within his district, and that if the
Postmaster-general overruled his recon-
mendation he would fight him in the SEN
ate. the House of Representatives, and on
the street. Mr.. Wanamaker, in reply. said
that the Postmaster general proposed to
share the responsibility and did not intend
to act merely as o clerk to fill out commls-
sions as the Congressman called for them.
Mr.. Funston appealed to the President but
the latter sustained the Postmaster-general,
and said the rule would be strictly enforced.
There is a good deal of excitement among
congressman
