Bloomington, Ind, had remitted S25 to
Representative Cooper of Indiana to be paid
to Pension Attorney Hersey for services to
pension claimants which services
had been performed through
the use of Representative Coopsr's sigma
ture in gaining access to the re ,ords OF the
pension bureau. Representative Cooper,
however, returned the money with notice
TO MIR. Morgan that Mr. Hersey's services
had been rendered as Mr.. Cooper's secre-
tary and had been paid for by Mr.. Cooper,
the latter being at that time ign )rnnt that
Mr.. Hersey had abused his opportunities.
TRAP FOR COOPER.
To-day Mr.. Morgan was before the CONS
mittee as witness In reply TO questions
by Representative Enloe who, with Mr..
Cooper, Is acting as prosecutor, the witness
acknowledged that he had written the letter
inclosing $25 to Mr.. Cooper at the sugges-
tion of Special Examiner Greenwal6 OF toe
pension office, whom Commissioner Raum
had sent out to investigate MIR. Hersey's
transactions. Examiner Greenwalt had
practically framed the letter and,
had himself sent the money
In registered letter, instead
OF by draft or check to Mr.. Cooper instead
Of to Mr.. Hersey in order that the matter
might be fastened on Mr.. Cooper aud he he
entrapped. Examiner Greenwalt said the
Office suspected that Mr.. Herssy was calling
up cases under MIR. Cooper's name and with
bis knowledge, an thai Mr.. Cooper was a
party to 1t. 1t was decoy letter. the wi ts
ness admitted, but it failed because Mr..
Cooper returned the money in a letter
stating that Mr.. Hersey could take no
money for the work done for him Cooper.
DIDN'T FEAR DIsBARMEET.
The witness denied having written the
letter for Examiner Greenwalt because he
feared disbarment He was "a republican.

commanded or requested it of me.
Examiner Greenwat told me a
condition OF things that surprised me very
much. He spoke OF having information

BRICE TO DECLINE.

He Does Not Want the Charm snship
Of the National Committee
WASHINGTON, April 13 Senator Brice Of
Ohio, chairman of the democratic national
committee. announced to-day that he has de-
termined not to accept a re-electionto the
craftsmanship if the committee to be ap-
pointed at the Chicago convention should
give it to him. Chairman Brice, it Is under
stood, is not Cleveland man
and would rather not conduct another
Cleveland campaign, and MIR. Cleveland, it
is understood, would rather he should not
do 80. Senator German, who managed the
first Cleveland campaign 30 far as the
chairman of the national committee had
anything to say about it, is naturally
talked of as chairman again, but it is said
that he would not take it aud that it is not
unlikely that ex-Secretary Whitney may
be Chairman Brice's successor. William f.
Harrity Of Pennsylvania is also mentioned.
THE REPUBLICAN CHAIRMANsHIP.
Probably the republicans will have to get
a new chairman for their committee also,
for although Chairman Clarkson, in spite
of his preference for Gen. Alger, would
probably be willing to keep the place in case
President Harrison was renominated, it is
said by friends of President Harrison that
he would prefer to have some out and out
Harrison man at the head or the conn
mittee. 1t really matters little
who is selected, because it
is we'll understood that the President him
self, assisted by Secretary Elkins and Sec
retary Foster, will direct the campaign for
reelection just as he is directing the cam
paign for denomination. Secretaries Elkins
and Foster are said to prefer Christopher
L. Magee OF Pittsburg ds Chairman Clark
sons successor. 1t would be interesting if
Pennsylvania should furnish both the chair
man of the national committees.

PRAGUE, April 15.--The operatives em-
ployed in the linen mills at Macleod, In

A BULL POOL IN COTTON.
Those in the Deal Said to Be in Com
plete @ 3ntrol of the Market


plete Control of the Market.
NEW YoRK, April 13.-Owing to the
purely professional character and extreme
narrowness Of the stock market Of late, it
now trapspires that several street magnetes
have recently been attracted to the cotton
exchange, and are devoting themselves to
the staple. Blessings often come in dis
guise, and such the recent big cotton fire in
New Orleans and the prevailing Mississippi
floods are proving, for these misfortunes
have resulted in the capitalization OF a
gigantic bull pool in cotton. The pool be-
gan to nihb,e at the market about two weeks
ago, and to-day they are apparently COM
plete masters of the situation. From the
extreme low point the price of cotton has
advanced over half cent per pound,
which on the popularly estimated crop
means an appreciation in value of
over $4,000,000 Several millions of dollars
are said to have been deposited in cash by
the pool as a working margin for their pro-
gramme. The names of those composing
the pool are thus far held in profound se-
crecy, but the evidence OF their financial
strength and vigorous purpose is both mani
fest and reliable. NV.

Of the so-called confederate records contain

that such purchase at the price asked,
$4,000, was advisable or that The purchase

ment Of the government. There seemed to
be no positive proof that the sums set down

they were paid to the persons against
whose names they appear. There
was nothing in the entries to identify thu
routes to which the alleged payments re-
late, or the period Of service which they
covered, and it was not demonstrates that
the courts would admit the books in evil
dence or that they would operate as a COM

The whole root of the decrease was want OF
