WASHINGTON, March 1.-The report of

cotton bagging, cotton ties and machinery
for manufacturing the same upon the free
list was prepared by Dalzell of Pennsyl-
vania. OF cotton bagglng the report says: !:
This manufacture was created by the pro-
tective tariff policy and is dependent upon
the same policy for its preservation because
of the difference between the rates of wages
paid here and abroad and for other reasons.
There are now invested in this industry Ia
this country over S9,000.000 There are six
teen mills in the United States conducting
business INDEPENDENTLY Of each other and
in full competition. There is no combna-
tion to fix prices or for any other purposes
between them. To drive our own manu-
faeturers from the field is to give the
domination of our markets TO foreign manu-
facturers who will dictate prices at will.

The Time for Closing Houses of Ill-Fame
indefinitely Postponed.
PITTsBURG, Pa. Dec. 2.-After closing
the disorderly houses in this city, the
order was revoked by Chief Brown of
the department of public safety. This
action is the result of conflict between
Mayor Gourley and Chief Brown.
1t seems probable that the
women who inhabit houses OF ill-repute
will continue without further molesta-
ton. The announcement that the time
for closing was indefinitely postponed, +,
caused indignation, and will be de-
nounced at the usual Monday meeting
of the clergy. This afternoon number
of ministers called upon Mayor Gourley,
ana it was decided to appoint commit
tee to provide shelter for those who are
repentant and desire to reform.

The San Jose Manager in a
Great Rage.
All Because Count Vanderbeck Stole
March on Him.
He Threatens to Have VANS Franchise
Taken Away-What the Local
Magnates Say About
the Situation.
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 2.-The Post to-
day says: The extra series for the
championship of the year will be played
after all, but mot under the sanction OF
the California league, and all ofthe con.
tests will take place in Los Angeles.
The San Jose team, upon learning that
Manager Finn had decided not to ar
range the series upon the terms offered
by Vanderbeck, concluded to open
negotiations with the southern mag
nate. A meeting OF the men was
held last Monday afternoon, and
when Vanderbeck agreed to give them
half the net receipts, they accepted bis
proposition. The following team last
evening left this city for the south:
Clark, catcher; DeWald, Harper and
Lookabaugh, pitchers: Dooley, first
base; Cantillion, second-base; Denny,
third. base; Everett, short-stop; Nc
Quicken, left field, and McVey, center
field. One OF the pitchers will play
right-6eld. Ebright refused to enter
into the combination, and Sailing has
returned to his home in Georgia. Man
ager Finn did not learn OF the action OF
hls players until late yesterday after
noon, and he became angry when the
news was brought to him. 1t is said he
threatened to have the men ar
rested for carrying away the uniforms
of the team, but upon telegrsphing to
San Jose he was informed that the men
had left their field clothing behind
them. Finn says be will bring the mat
ter before the meeting OF the league to-
morrow afternoon, and that he will in
troduce motion to deprive Wander
beck of the Los Angeles franchise. A
motion will also probably be adopted
declaring that the games between the
Angels and the Dukes are not champi-
onship contests, but merely exhibition
games. The threat to blacklist the
players is an idle one, as the men were
beyond the jurisdiction of the league
when the season closed last Sunday
night

What the Local Baseball Authorities Say

What the Local Baseball Authorities Say
About ItAll.
Count Vanderbeck read the foregoing
telegram yesterday afternoon. and then
looked at Captain Glenalvin. Both
smiled subsequently,. The fact OF the
matter appears TO be that the northern
magnates conspired to throw Los An
geles down in the pennant race, and
failed miserably. The failure lett them
practically "out OF the game" and now
they seem to be cropping around i'll the
where they were at.
The assertion that the games to lie
PLAYED here are simply exhibition games
is vigorously denied by Mr.. Vanderbeck.
His team winning the last halt of the
season entities him to the position OF
practical dictator OF the final games
Finn refused to make any agreements
with his men for the final games, and
they have taken the matter into their
own hands. As Mr.. Glenalvin says,
close of the National league season in
decided that there would be no money
AL plhy OA bllS Will Slcf
The Boston players said they would 90
go themselves if the management re-
fused. The management saw the point
ana the finals were played off.
The California league meeting to be
held in San francisco will probably
ratify the action of the San jose players,
if such action should be necessary. as
the justice of the proposition should be
apparent to anyone.
These games will practically decide
uot only the California but the Pacific
coast cham pionship, as the San Joses
now hold the latter pennant by virtue
of last winters series of games with the
Portland pennant winners of the Nor tn
west league.
The San Jose team arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon and ii the weather
will possibly permit the first game will
be played at Athletic park this after
noon at 2 80 o'clock. The grounds are
in most admirable condition. Mr.. Nc
Donald will be the umpire There will
be parade in the early afternoon, with
both teams in carriages headed by a
brass band, which will start from the
Hoffman houee about L O'Clock.

ON THE BACK TRACK.
Railway Shares and the Industrials
Show Decided Weakness.
FOREIGNERS INCLINED TO BUY
And Big Firms Say They Do Not Expect
to Ship Gold.
INCLINED TO BUY
A FIRM CLOSE At THE DECLINES

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-The stock market
again took the back track to-day, even the
industrials yielding to the pressure to real
ize while the railroad list showed decided
weakness in spots Among these Reading
and New England were conspicuous Apart
from these stocks Atchison was the only
one showing any animation or weakness of
moment The support was also withdrawn
from Sugar later in the day and a substantial
setback was given its price. The strikes
counted for little in the making OF
prices and the announcement by many in
fuential firms who have been prominent in
the gold movement that they did not ex-
pect to ship any at present acted as sus-
tanning power in railroad shares, and the
foreigners were inclined rather to purchase
than to sell securities. The market on the
whole displayed firm undertone and re-
sisted the influence of the declines. The
close was firm, though again dull at some
thing better than the lowest points.
Railroad bonds continued to show a
steady decrease in volume of business and
the changes in quotations are confined to the
most insignificant fractions To-day the
Reading issues were weakest, closing down
i per cent, while Virginia Midland
stamped IS lost 2 at 81. The only advance
was per cent in the Wisconsin Central
lists to 90. Transactions o. the day were only
$4,000 with no featureiof any kind.
Government bonds were dull and easier.
Close of the list:
