SENATOR INGALLS, BACK.
He Takes His Defeat Philosophically--
Greeted by All His Colleagues.

Senator Ingalls, made his appearance in the
Senate this morning, looking none the worse
for his recent wearisome journey and ardeoss
campaign in Kansas. His aspect was rs calm
and dignified as ever, and his voice has lost
none of its resonance and measured cadence.
In conversation the Senator had little 20 add
to the published accounts Of the senatorial
struggle in his state. 1t was a square fight. or
rather triangular fight, and each side had
stuck to its guns msnfully. The republicans
supported their candidate most Loyalty, and he
fully appreciated their devotion.
MIR. Ingalls, bears his defeat philosophicaily
and with the utmost composure. He held
quite a reception at his desk this morning.
Nearly every Senator. democratic as well a. re-
publican, went up to him soon rs he Was
deserted and shook hands with him, greeting
him with q cordi.iity far above the couyen-
tional type. The regrets expressed for his de-
feat were evidently heartfelt, and il must have
been very gratifying to the senator TO witness
the many evidences Of his general popularity,
proceeding they did from the republican
majority, against whom be has recently acted
in reference TO the force bill and cloture, and
also from the democrats, whom he % often and
eloquently iagellated.

RULES CANNOT PREVENT RAIN.
Why the New York Cotton Exchange II
fused to Comply With q Request

fused to Comply With q Request.
The Liverpool Cotton Association has CON-
planned to the New York Exchange Of damp
cotton (baled before thoroughly dry). The
foreigners asked that rules be made to prevent
shipment of damp" cotton. A committee of
The New York Cotton Exchange took up the
matter. and the following has just been sent to
the complaining Englishmen:
1.-The committee are surprised at such q CON-
munication as that referred to them should
emGnate from such q source as the Liverpool
Cotton Association. The cause of damp cotton
and the exceptional loss in weight is something
to be easily accounted for. For a long period
OF the present picking season the weather was
wet; much SO that moisture not only
thoroughly impregnated the fibre, but seri-
ously reduced the quality or grade of the CROP
Neither the cotton exchanges Of America nor
the growers of cotton can frame any rules that
VIII prevent rain from wetting cotton that has
not vet been picked. 1t ID the belief of this
committee that the world in general is obliged
10 take things they find them. If the cotton
cropis poor one, sandy or wet one, that is
the article that has got to be traded in for the
time being. Under the circumstances and be
lieving that there can be no rules formulated
that will alter the workings of nature on plant
that grows IN the open air, your committee
herewith beg to return The communication
from the Liverpool Cotton Association with
the recommendation that no attcmp. be made
to formulate any such rules as are suggested"

THE NORTHERN LIBERTY MARKET.
Organization Of the Company That Recently

Organization Of the Company That Recently
Purchased It-Plans for the Future.
The recent sale of the Northern Liberty mar
ket and its purchase by Gen. Albert Ordway
has resulted in the organization Of new COM
pany. At meeting of the incorporators held
last evening the following officers were elected:
Gen. Albert 0rdway, president; Theodore
Barnes. vice president: John E. Beall. secre-
tary and treasurer; Albert Ordway. Z. Francis
Riggs, John E. Beall, A. I. Britton, George
Truesdell, Theodore Barnes, James F. Oyster,
directors.
There have been many rumors as to the pur-
poses Of the new company and the objects they
had in view in the purchase of the property.
These rumors are all quieted by the definite
action taken by the incorporators in an
nouncing that they will at once issue SOS. 900 Of
per cent preferred stock and apply the whole
OF IT TO the improvement and repair of the
market building, and that they propose 10
maintain and conduct the market Gen. Ord
way, on being subsequently questioned by a
STAR reporter. stated that as the pure haser and
part owner Of the property he could not con-
sent TO transforming the market into an armory
for the National Guard. which it had been ru-
mored was his object in making the purchase,
as IT would place him in a very equivocal po-
si.ion in renting it for that purpose. He stated
that the purpose of the new company is to re-
deem il from its present condition of filth and
dilapidution and equip it with modern fixtures
and appliances.

TOBACCO TO MINORS.
The Bin Prohibiting It's sale Has Psssed
Both Houses

Both Houses.
Mrs. Emma r. Shelton and the other ener-
getic workers Of the Women's Christian Tenn

In having both the Senate and the House pass
the bill prohibiting the sale Of tobacco TO
minors under sixteen years Of age in the Dis
trict
The Senate passed the bill on Saturday, and
Yesterday afternoon the House gave its sane
tion. The hill provides:
THAT hereafter no person in the District Of
Columbia shall sell, give or furnish any cigar,
cigarette, or tobacco in any Of its forms 10 any
minor under sixteen years of age, and for each
and every violation of this section the offender
shall, on conviction, be fined not less than %
nor more than go, or be imprisoned for not
less than five days nor more than twenty DAYS"
The original bill also provided penalty on
boys smoking on the streets. This provision
which was also in the New York law. turned
ont TO be practically dead letter. and the
Senate committee here struck il oat. The bill
now only requires the President signature. and
then dealers in tobacco will have 20 be a little
careful who they make their sales to.

Preparations for the New Ball Park
Players Who Are Expected to Sign.
Work on the new ball park will probably be
begun in about a week and will ut first consist
in getting out enough Of the trees to allow
work 10 be started on the grand stand. 1t has
been decided to lay out the grounds SO tina,
the batting will be done from the southwest to-
ward the northeast, and this will obviate the
great trouble with the arrangement of last
year. which put the sun in the eyes of the Sec

ment the glare will he in the eyes of only the
second baseman and the right and center
fielders. At no point is the ground as narrow
as at Capitol Park, and it is very much longer.
The work of collecting the men has come to
standstll and this morning there were, for a
wonder, no letters from men anxious to wear
the Senatorial uniform. By standstiil is
meant that no more men have been signed al
though negotiations have by no means been
suspended. Advances are being made to Dun
lap for second base and Visner for the ont
field. O'Brien of the famous Cleveland nine of
two years ago wants to pitch here next season.
and he will be approached for his terms. and if
they are at all satisfactory he may be induced
to sign Washington contract to pitch his old
