DRY GOODS,

New York, March 2.-Today's demand
and purchases turned out better than was
promised at the opening. Bleached cot
tons were taken in good quantity by sew
eral of the largest distributing markets
west of New York. Fancy cottons for
petticoats and dress wear had increased
attention. AS for desirable goods, orders
were placed, as none are to be had for
immediate delivery. Dress silks and rib
bOns are doing very well, and SO are mems
wear goods. Brown cottons were moved
well on old engagements, but business was
of moderate proportions. Foreign and
domestic fancy worsted dress goods i'm
steady request
Printing cloths, more active, and sales
about 10000 pieces, contracts for May
to July, at 5-Sc.

HUBBARD'S COTTON LETTER

New York, March 2.-Hubbard Bros

Although the foreign demand for con-
sumption continues on large scale and
our advices report Manchester as active
with spinners holding small supplies of
cotton, n general desire to realize upon
late purchases has brought reaction
at home and abroad
During the afternoon the market was
affected by foreign selling orders, closing
with n quiet, steady undcrtone. This
selling came as surprise to the trade.
who fear that some political complica-
ton may be known abroad.

Pathetic Speech of the aged Wdrrior i'm
Floating for His People.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 3.-The fa-
nous Sioux war chief, Red Cloud, made
pathetic appeal before the Sen ate Indian
Committee Sunday on behalf of his
tribe. When he concluded Chairman Pet
tigrew shook his hand. promising to see
Justice done. In his speech Red Cloud
said:
ii am now so years old. and am almost
blind. am here simply to plead for JUS
tice for my people. There is nothing left
on earth for me. | want to ask the white
rulers to let my people live in peace. You
have all the lands on this great earth.
You took it by force. i 60 not love your
race. You have murdered and ruin ed
my people. Now | want bit of fair de al
ing.
You must not divide the great Sioux
reservation into eighty-acre lots, because
the lands are not tilable. The hot winds
of August blast every crop. The lands
could not be cultivated by the best white
farmers. The Indians never will be
farmer, even Oh good ground. You ought
TO have intelligence enough to know that
Indians are differently constituted from
yourselves. II my race had such intelli-
gence it would never have let you get this
continent ne ianQS OF our reservation
are good FOR grazing.
Let my people have them. We can
raise horses and cattle, but cannot ralse
crops l came here when a great soldier
Grant-was President and he assured me
the white people would be honest As
long as he was alive he always Stood by
me. | respected that soldier. He knew
how to appreciate brave men. 1 hope the

psople"

Sale of the Atlantic and
Pacific Line at
Gallup.
Bid in by a Representative of
the Santa Fe Board Of
Directors.
Many improvements Projected, but
Officials VIII Not Be
Changed.

ALBUQUERQUE. N. NJ. May. Sat
Gallup to-day the property was bid In
for $4,000. 900 by Aldace f. Walker, chair
man of the board Of directors for the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and of
the general purchasing committee of the
Santa Fe's system.
The special car containing Chairman
Walker and party arrived in Albuquerque
Saturday night. They spent Sunday here
overlooking the Santa Fe's varied interests
and comforting with leading citizens about
the Improvements under project. Early
this m orning the special left for Gallup.
Very little interest was taken in the sale in
that city. The citizens knew that the
Santa Fe was already the practical owner
OF the Atlantic and Pacific and that the
sale was a mere ceremony. It passed off
quietly and after a short stay in the city
the special returned to Albuquerque, ar
irving this evening.
That the Santa Fe has under view the
cen tralization OF the shops and Offices at
one main point is acknowledged. but
when this will commence is not known.
This city seems to be the favored one.
Many additions will be made to the shops
here and it is more than probable that 400
men will be added to the payrolls.
There will not be many changes made
in the working officials of the road. Every
thing west of this city will be under the
general superintendency of A. G. Wells.
This will also include the California
Southern.
From this city to Seligman, Ariz., G. R.
Perry will be division superintendent.
From Seligman to San Bernardino John
Denair will be division superintendent. G.
Beamer will be division superintendent
over the territory between San Bernardino
and Los Angeles.
Los Angeles will be the headquarters
for the auditing department, which will
be under the charge of w. E. Walsh. In
Los Angeles also will be the headquarters
fos the general passenger and ticket de-
partment, under the charge OF ]. ]. Byrne.

THAT WILL THE VERDICT BE?
Romeyn Trfdt Ended and Result DIS
patched to General Merritt.

Romeyn Trial Ended and Result DIS
patched to General Merritt.
ATLANTA, GA. May S.-The Romeyn
court-martial completed its work at noon
to-day, and two hours later, after secret
celebration, reached a conclusion and
dispatched it to General Merritt, head of
the Department of the East. Just what
the verdict is no person outside of the off,
cial thirteen has any definite knowledge
OF, but speculation all extends on the line
of either absolute acquittal for Romeyn
or his exoneration on the body of the
charges and a reprimand for his share in
the parade-ground episode. The judge
advocate and Eomeyn for the defense
summed up their respective sides this
morning, adding nothing of importance to
the evidence already add uced.
1t is charged that Lieutenants Bamford,
O'Br en- and Martin and Captain Carter,
both previous to and during the trial,
have violated the articles of war, the pen
atty for which is court-martial, but the
members composing the board have pro-
nounced the task of further investigation
into this com pllcated web impossible for
military court.
Both the official family at the garrison
and its friends are uneasiIy awaiting far
Their movements on the part of the Wash
ington authorities, for no one believes,
after what has been brought to light by
the court-martial that the War Depart
ment can afford to ignore conditions pre-
vailing at the post.

NORTHERN MERCHANTS SwiSDLED
Eoous Drafts cashed in Many Towns
BY Man Claiming TO Be
n 6rUmu,er

SEATTLE, WASH, May S.-The police
OF this and other Northwestern cities have
been warned 10 be on the lookout for
shrewd swindier who is alleged to have
obtained large sums on bogus drafts in
Anaconda, Butte, Spokane, Salt Lake and
Denver. He is believed to be coming this
way. At Anaconda, where he gave the
name OF A. Z. Barmore, he sold con-
signment of starch and then got G. c.
McKinnon to cash draft on New York
for 500. This was two weeks ago. Last
week the draft was returned unpaid and
the case was given to the police.
In several cities the swindler has pre-
tended to represent an Oswego IN. w
Starch Company. He possesses drum
mers outfit and letters which purport to
give him authority to draw on the New
York Office. His plan is usually to get
drafts cashed just previous 10 the de-
parture of his train. He dresses neatly,

New Industry Opened
to the Owners of
CannerieS.
Great Demand for the Product
of a San Jose Packing
House.
BleaChed Tubers Find a Ready Sale,
and Orders Are Coming
In Fast.

SAN JOSE, CAL. May 3.-The Penni-
man Fruit Company has institu ted Il new
industry at its drier in the Willows-that
of drying potatoes. This promises to
prove profitable for Santa Clara County,
and as soon as the run on potatoes Is over
carrots and turnips will be dried. A
force of twenty persons is engaged, and it
is believed the run on potatoes will las:
another month.
The work of preparation is very simple.
Apple-parers are used in peeling the pota-
toes and siicing is next in order. The
potatoes are then pressed, and about 10
per cent of the water is removed in this
way. As the starch is extracted from, this
water there is no waste. Evaporating
and bleaching is done in practically the
same manner as in the drying of fruits.
After leaving the press the potatoes are
subjected to temperature OF 100 to 10
degrees in the evaporation. 1t has been
found that a temperature in excess of 12O
degrees discolors them, but at that heat
they retain their color, and when taken
out have the appearance of the green
product.
The dried potatoes can be either boiled
or fried and will be sure to please all
classes OF people except those who insist
on having their potatoes served with
Jackets on" One great advantage OF the
dried product is that it can be kept on
shipboard for an indefinite period.
The potatoes are being shipped to San
Francisco commission house. 1t is e1-
pected that the output will reach 30, 900
pounds by May 90 In all about $4,000
pounds of potatoes will be dried, which in
the green state would be 400, 900 pounds,
as the drying process takes away four
fifths of the weight. This leaves all the
nutritiousness of the potato IN a compact
form. The originators of the process be-
lieve that there will soon be great de-
mand for dried potatoes and that in short
time dried vegetables of numerous kinds
will be found in every market.

received private adviees stating that a
movement of that kind is being pushed.
The leaders, it is said, are men who have
been exiled from Nicaragua.
