A censor attached to the imperial
court in Pekin, having suggested
that the Emperor should take up the
ancient practice of having the class
les and other sacred writings ex-
pounded to him daily, his majesty
published this decree. rSince we
have undertaken the task of govern.
ing in person, we have daily received
in audience the officials of the me-
tropolis and the provinces, and done
our very utmost to rightly discern the
proper men and pass Judgment on
their actions. Such time as remains
at our disposal after transacting the
multitudinous affairs of State, we de.
vote to the classics and historical
records, often engaging in discussion
with the imperial tutors, and never
permitting ourselves for a moment to
indulge in luxurious ease.n

THE COTTON REPORT.
Figures on the Movement for January.
What is Expected in
February.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 29.-Atwood,
Violet & Co. say:
Fntures-The movement at ports this
week IS 10000 bales, against estimates of
10000 bales in the early part of the week,
against 1871, 900 bales this week last year,
while interior receipts are 81, 00G bales
against los, 900 bales last year, and IS, 600
bales last week Interior stocks are SCI, 600
bales, against 446, 900 bales this week last
year, and J92, 900 bales last week. Though
Liverpool opened lower to-day there
was an improvement here of 5
points. It did not last long and met
the fate of the recent advances, and we
close 3 lower than last night. Spring
closed firm at l lower than last night.
Dispatches received here to-day said it was
rumored Neill had reduced his last estimate
of S,650.000 bales. He has, however, pro-
nounced this as incorrect and con-
firms his last figures, The amount
that has come into sight this week
according to official reports announced here
by our exchange this AFTERNOON is $4,000
bales against 235, 900 bales last year. Our
estimate last Monday to come into sight,
115,000 bales. The increase has been
caused by a larger port movement
than we expected. On the oath of Deem
Der we estimated 00,000 bales would come
in sight during January We estimated
the same date that 100000 bales would
come in sight during February. The
amount so far since 1st of January is
100000 bales. The February movement
will probably be 100000, perhaps 400, 900
bales. Receipts here for tomorrow are es-
timated at 15,0 900 bales, against $4,000 bales
at all ports last year. Ports estimated for
next week 10000 bales against 162, 900
bales last year. Total amount in sight since
September l, 7,129,000 bales. Liverpool
stock on hand and atloat of American to-day
l,64l. 900 bales. against 1,621, 200 on last
Friday.
Spots closed easy; sales, 1900 bales;
quotations unchanged.
F. o. b. sales. 100 bales; offerings con-
tinue to be light, as prices are above a
parity with this market The demand is
chiefly for middling and strict to good
middling.

A Split in the Alliance.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Jerry Simpson,
supported by two other Alliance congress-
men, Watson of Georgia and Otis OF Kan
sas, has split with the other Alliance mem
bers of the house, and it is said the diff
Guilty is too serious to be healed.
The trouble came to head at a meeting
of Alliance congress smen held in this city
last week, and the result was developed by
a refusal of Messrs. Simpson, Watson and
Otis to attend another meeting of Alliance
members last night.
At the meeting last week there was a
long and bitter discussion over the PROPOSE
ton that the Alliance men in congress
agree to cast their lot with the Democratic
party. This proposition was vigorously
opposed by Simpson, Watson and Otis.
They commended that the Alliance had pro-
crossed favorably without the aid of either
of the two great political parties and advo-
Gated the third party scheme
The report of the spit is confirmed by
the above named gentlemen. Watson, who
was the Alliance candidate for speaker of
the house, will probably be the leader of
the third party.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-James. W. Ridg-
way, district attorney OF Brooklyn, in an
interview says. My conviction is that
there will be no break in the solidarity of
the New York delegation. Senator Hill
will receive every votep
and do you expect to see him nominated
for the presidency2n
THAT is just what expect Look at his
record. Is there parallel to it in the his
tory Of modern politicsl We see him en-
tering the gubernatorial Office at time
when the state is ST, 600, 900 in debt, the Re-
publican party in power in both branches
of the legislature and having both United
States senators. He goes out of Office with
the state debt reduced 70 81, 000, 900 and the
lowest rate of taxation in its history, be-
sides $1,000, 900 in the treasury. During
each year of his administration the public
school fund was increased $500, 900. So
much for the civil situation How is the
status changed politically since he took the
reinsl A Democratic governor with a ma
iority of $1,000 behind him; legislature
Democratic in both branches; one United
States senator of that faith, and another
one as soon as Mr.. Hiscock's term expires.
Don't you think a man with that record de-
serves the highest honors in the gift of his

watson,s Resolution.

The anti-Pipkerton resolution introduced
by Watson of Georgia was the subject of
much discussion in the house committee on
judiciary this morning. The Farmers AL
lance representative made a strong argu-
ment in favor of the resolution. Oates of
Alabama expressed some doubts as to the
ability of congress to legislate upon this
subject. which he considered a matter only
to be regulated or suppressed By the va
rious state legislatures. Members gener-
ally seemed to share the opinion of Oates.
1t is likely the resolution of Watson will be
reported unfavorably.
1T is our Intention said Watson to a
reporter to-day, 'sto push the thing to the
bitter end. This resolution is party meas
ure with the Farmers Alliance rep
resentatiyes. We think that for cor
porations to arm and equip a standing
army to settle difficulties with laborers
by war is reducing the government to an
archy. The laborers have no right to main
tain n standing army to fight corporations
and corporations should have no right to
maintain a standing army to fight
laborers. II the government is not
strong enough to deal with
these people and settle disputes
from government standpoint, then there
is an end of the rule of law and the begin
ming of the rule of the party which
can equip the heaviest battaiions.
Pinkerton detective agencies, viewed in
the light of their actual practices, are
but standing militia subject to the beck and
call of the capitalists. They carry out the
orders of capitalists. No matter what
bloodshed there is, they do it irrespective
Of the rights of either party. If armed in
Prevention is to come, it should come from
an army of impartial magistrates, state or
Federal. which recognize there are two
sides TO all labor questions, and that rights
of both are to be respected. We
want to serve notice to the house and to
the committee to-day that we expect action
in this matter, and viii protest against mex
the house,
Simpson of Kansas expressed the same
sentiments as Watson. ssThe resolution
will be reported unfaTorably," said Oates
tonight, simply for the reason congress
has no power to take away from the states
the regulation of this matter"

GALVESTON, TEX, Jan. 29.-The grand

ton held two secret sessions IN this city
to-day, one this morning and one tonight,
which at this hour III o'clock is still in
session, but at its close viii adjourn sine
die, to meet in Dallas January IS, 1898
From what could be learned the proceed
ings of the grand lodge were taken up to-
day and tonight in acting upon
reports of the various committees, re-
ports of officers and adopting plans for
extending the scope and work of the asso-
citation by the organization of subordinate
lodges in every town and city in the
state of Missouri We're also discussed
and line of policy adopted to
secure the passage of laws not inimical to
the liquor traffic, but at the same time to
prevent its abuse by an equitable
and just license law which should
be rigidly enforced. After the
passage of resolutions complimentary of
the hospitable treatment the delegates to
the grand lodge had received at the hands
of the citizens and head lodge, the grand
lodge adjourned.
This afternoon the delegates to the grand
lodge were treated to an oyster roast at
Wnolam's lake, which was highly enjoyed.

In the House.

The Democrats of the house found it
necessary to appeal to a caucus decree in
order to secure unity of action in the adop-
ton of rules for the government of the pro-
ceedings of the house. 1t is matter of
some significance that the subject of dis
sension in the Democratic ranks is the
clause of the proposed code which enables
the committee on rules at any time to call
up for consideration report
of that committee and preventing
dilatory motions being made pending
such consideration. To give the speaker
power to recognize and prevent dilatory
motions at such particular time and not
clothe him with like power at all other
times seems to many Democratic members
a great discrimination in favor of the COM
mittee of which the speaker is ex-oficio
chairman and whose deliberations he nat
urally directs, and the proposed rule was
most bitterly attacked by various members
of the dominant party. So little, how
ever, was attention paid to party
lines during the debate that one OF the
strongest supporters of the rule was James
Buchanan, the well-known Republican rep
resentative from New Jersey. The debate
was occasioned by a motion by Hooker of
Mississippi 10 strike out the clause above
referred to. II was long and at times ex-
citing.
During the discussion Bailey of Texas,
the youngest member Of the house, who
came to Washington with quite reputa-
ton for oratory, took the floor and fully
justified mis- reputation. He has COM
handing presence, a handsome, clear cut
face, powerful voice and graceful delivery,
The greatest attention was paid to his re-
marks, which were addressed to an advo-
cacy of Hooker's motion. He opposed the
rule as reported, because it was
an essential departure from the
traditions of the Democratic party
departure which he was unwilling should
become the law of the house except over
his respectful protest. The American peo-
pie to-day are living under a surveillance IN
known to the constitution because we were
under a system of committee government.
The proposed rule gave to the majority or
triumvirate of the committee on rules
power to decide what affirmative action
should be taken by the entire house. Such
q power ought not to be delegated except in
cases of absolute and pressing necessity.
Democrats had majority of two.
thirds and with that majority it could safely
and properly suspend all rules should neces-
s1ty require. If the Democrats adopted
this rule they were stopped hereafter from
criticising the Fifty-first congress and the
distinguished gentleman who presided over
its deliberations.
After further debate, but without action,
the house adjourned.
leaders held an informal conference and
discussed the wisdom of calling party
caucus to secure unity of action
among the Democratic members. 1t was
finally decided such course was impera-
tive, and Immediately after adjournment
caucus was announced for tomorrow
evening.
