peror Charles VI, the last sovereign of the
male line of Hapsburg, who. by means OF
what is known in history as the pragmatic
sanction, instituted an order of succession
analogous to the Russian system, for the
purpose of rendering possible the bequest
of the throne to his daughter, Empress
Maria Theresa. This same pragmatic
sanction provided for the dynastic union
Of the crown of Hungary and Austria,
very necessary agreement seeing that up
to that time IL was the Cognate, CASTLE
or English system which ordered the sue
cession to the throne Of Hungary.
Much mystery prevails with regard to
this pragmatic sanction, and it is a pc
culiar and not generally known fact that
neither the original of tho document, nor
even any authenticated copy thereof, can
be found among the government and crown
archives either at Vienna or at Pesth, the
Hungarian as well as the Austrian minis
tiers of state having been compelled re-
luctantly to admit to their respective par
liaments that no trace of the treaty can
be discovered. 1t was the Magyar revo-
lutioary leader Kossuth who first drew
public attention to this extra ordinary fact,
and basing thereon an allegation that the
agreement in question had never really
existed and was a mere historical myth he
questioned the right of Emperor Francis
Joseph to the throne of st. Stephen.
All doubts with regard to the future sue
cession to the dual crowns of Austria and
of Hungary have been definitely settled
within the last few weeks by declaration
in THE Official Gazette" at Vienna to the
effect that the emperors eldest nephew,
Archduke Francis Ferdinand eldest son OF
his majesty's brother Charles Louis, who
died last year, is the next heir to the
throne. This, of course, does away with
the persistent rumors according to which
the emperor was thinking of bequeathing
his sovereignty to Otto the younger
brother of Francis Ferdinand, to his
granddaughter Elizabeth, the only child OF
the late Crown Prince Rudolph, or else to
his youngest daughter Archduchess Va
Ierie, married to a distant cousin, Arch
duke Francis Salvador Of Austria.
The story relating to Valerie's prospects
of succeeding to her father was preposter-
Gus in the extreme. For at the time when
she married, like every other archduchess,
she made solemn Remuneration of her
own rights and place in the line Of sue
cession, subordinating them to those OF
the husband of her choice Inasmuch as
there are something like ninety archdukes
now living OF the house OF Hapsburg, all
of whom have rights to the throne prior
TO those of any unmarried archducess,
there is but little chance of any Of the
daughters or grandchildren of Emperor
Francis Joseph succeeding him on the
throne of Austria-Hungary
There is but one other system Of sue
cesson In Europe-namely that Of Tur-
keY-where the crown devolves at the
death of the sultan not upon his eldest
son. but TO the eldest living prince OF his
house, usually his brother or nephew, the
heir to the present sultan being, not his
son, but his younger brother Rechad En-

New York, May 2s.-This was another day of terrible dullness in the cotton market. Liverpool was also dull and a shade lower. The discouraging attitude of that market was the chief influence responsible for the small decline here. The continued absence of any speculative demand and some real izing by tired longs were the only features August opened at 7.15, slowly sagged to I'll, and closed at I'll to TIP, with the tone of the market quiet. Private advices about the new crop were not altogether satisfactory today and unless they should improve some advance is not improbable. "

expanding with an influence, necessarily on exchange. Chicago Gas, the leader of the market in the volume of transactions, was quite strong on renewed hope of benefits from the Illinois legislature and rose from 7sc above last nights close in the final deal ings There was a marked disposition to cover in the anthracite coal stocks thus eliminating what has been a persistent element of weakness in recent markets. The strength manifested by the Grangers, a rise in Sugar and the flrmness of the Gould shares were other influences that helped to carry prices very generally above last nights level at the close and to leave substantial net gains in a few stocks

In Wall Street.

New York, May 2S.-Today's market was marked by intense dullness throughout a, most the whole of the session, during all of which prices were very firmly held so that the lively demand in few stocks to cover just at the close carried them substantially above last nights close. Doubtless part of this buying was in anticipation of a cov- ering movement which may, develop at to- morrow's short session of the exchange in view of Monday being holiday, thus leav- ing an interval of two days before trading shall be resumed. The dullness of the trading is an indication of underlying strength, as there were some unfayorab!e factors to hamper a rise and holders pre- ferred to hold with confidence. The prin- cipal factor in the dullness was the unfa- yorable effect upon the whole tone of the speculation, of the. official announcement of the Baltimore and Ohio receivers that there on some of the bonds becoming due on June L This action had been anticipated for several days and the company's securi- ties have sold down accordingly. But the effect today was none the less marked, both here and on the London market for Amerl- cans, which were entirely neglected Some of the selling here for London account was due to the same cause There was no posi- tive weakness in the market but the weight of semi-stagnation prevented values from benefltting from several favorable in fuences. One of these was the continued weakness of the exchange market, which though somewhat firmer than yesterday
