New York, Feb. 2.-The Liverpool
news today was disappointing in view Of
the slight advance here yesterday, and
prices here declined early in the day.
There was very little pressure to sell,
however, and before the close part of
the loss was recovered on small local
demand. New Orleans bought here and
Liverpool both bought and sold. The
semi-weekly movement was small and
had steadying effectfupon the market;
The close was steady at a net decline of
l to 4 points. Sales, 80, 100 bales. The
semi-weekly receipts were estimated at
$4,000 bales. Receipts at Savannah to-
day were 475S bales, but all except $50
bales were through cotton. New Or
leans declined 5 points, but recovered part
of the loss. In Liverpool futures de-
clned 1-2 to 9 points. Spot grades
there below middling declined 1-32d
sales, 5000 bales. Manchester was dull.
Receipts at ports today were estimated
at $4,000 bales

FAIRCHILD & HOBSON'S LETTER.
Especial to Austin Cotton Exchange,
401 East Sixth street, phone 241; private
wires)
New Orleans, Feb. 2.-The trading in
the cotton market today has been a
repetition of what has taken place for
the last two or three weeks. There is
no disposition to enter into speculative
deals and traders are generally disposed
to await the liquidation of the long in
terest in March. There is large in
terest in this month and it remains to be
seen what the disposition of traders will
be. We think it advisable for our
friends to transfer their March to May
at present differences, as it is doubtful
if any better terms will be secured. The
Liverpool news was scarcely encouraging.
Futures were 1 I'D lower, with spots
in buyers favor. The amount into
sight for January, 10000 bales, is much
below the early estimates. and with the
prospective lesser quantity to come into
sight for February, as compared with
last year, ought to serve as a steadying
influence at least as far as foreign ad-
vices are concerned. The publication of
the required number Of signatures to
partially close down in Fall River had
an unfavorable influence in Liverpool to-
day, although this bit Of gossip was at
least week old.
The range in prices has been points,
with practically no disposition to force
the market out of its actual tendency.

LONDON COMMENT.

Opinion Of Various Newspapers on tho
Senate Committee Amendments.
LONDON, Feb. 2.-The afternoon
newspapers generally express great dis
appointment at the proposed amend
ment of the arbitration treaty, and the
Westminster Gazette hopes that public
opinion in the United States will make
itself felt before the senate acts upon
the report of it's committee on foreign
relations.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "The
committee Is doing its best to make way
with the treaty. It has not dared to
brave public opinion in absolutely with.
holding its approval, but it has left it
valueless.
The Globe remarks: 1.-THE amend.
ment excludes every question of real
importance, and leaves the treaty
meaningless. The most dignified course
for the senate to pursue would be to
declare that the treaty has become
worse than useless. and decline to rat.
ify it," The Globe adds: "Not many
tears would be shed over its fate, in
spite of the premature cock growing" "

ABSOLUTELY PURE

Senator Morgan made it very plain
in his remarks that he was opposed to
the treaty.
Several senators expressed the opin.
ion that the amendments as well as the
treaty should be made public, and also
took the stand that its discussion should
be public, in order that the people
might see the advantages or defects III
the instrument, and several senators
announced their intention Of giving as
much publicity to the treaty as possible

treaty with reference to trade marks,

lished and ratified it.

M'NAUGHT's SUIT.

Norther. Pacific Company Alleges Sew
eral Onssts to His Claim.
MILWAUKEE. Feb. 2.-The Northern
Pacific Railway company has filed its
answer in the United States court to
the suit instituted by Colonel J. w.
Mcknight, late general counsel Of the
company, and afterwards OF counsel
for the receivers. Colonel Mcknight
is suing to recover $4,000 for services
rendered the receivers and also for an
unfixed amount for services as a lobby
ist before the North Dakota legislature,
whereby the passage of the bill was se'
cured that made the consequent pur-
chase Of the Northern Pacific and Man
itoba Railroad company's lines by the
Northern Pacific possible. In answer
the new company not only denies the
liability, but 1t asserts that there is
more than $l35 900 due and owing the
company from Colonel Mcknight, and
which is specified in separate items as
offsets.
Some Of tho Items.
Among the items are an alleged over
draft of $4,000 ON his account with
the receivers; voucher for S3, ,5OC
signed by him for expenses and special
counsel fees, for which an itemized
account has not been furnished; an ex'
cess Of $5S5 in commissions on an issue
of collateral trust notes.
1t transpires that Paul Schulze, wht
was the general land agent of the com
pany, was short 44O0, 600 In his &C
counts, and that Colonel McNaugh
was surety on his bond. Colonel Nc
Naught's liability, the answer charges
is $50, 900, which he has never paid.
Further than this, Colonel McNaugh
is accused of conveying to himself
while president of the Northern Paci
fic and Manitoba company valuable
property in the city of Winnipeg, fol
which the company paid $23. .73l. 20
The property is improved and Colone
! Mcknight receives the income.
The answer asserts that in the even
that Colonel Mcknight were entitled
to recover for services as lobbyist, hi
claims would not be prior to the lien
of the mortgages, and not valid as t.
the new company. No accounting i
demanded from Colonel McNaught
the company simply asking that tn
claims be dismissed.

tiOn.
Neither Are the Changes Rel
ished by the British Gov

Prediction Made That It Will
Not Be Promulgated If
Ratified.

New YORK, Feb. "A dispatch to
The Herald from Washington says:
The Anglo American arbitration
treaty, as amended by the senate com.
mittee on foreign relations, is highly
Objectionable to the administration.
If the treaty in its present amended
shape is ratified by the senate it will
not be proclaimed during the present
administration here, or during Lord
Salisburys incumbency Of Office in
England. Such, at least, Is the opinion
of leading members Of the administra.
tion, who are recognizing that Lord
Salisbury has already made consider
able political capital for himself out Of
the fact that he was able to successfully
negotiate a treaty with the Cleveland
administration, and that he will have
nothing to lose by not accepting the
amendments of the senate, purposely
made Objectionable to Great Britain.
Believe England Would Not Accept 1t.
It is not definitely known whether
Secretary Olney and Sir Julian Paunce-

Your correspondent has also learned
OF another important amendment to
the treaty that did not leak out till
Sunday morning. The whole Of Arti'
